THISISFORTHEONEINWHITEHALL(since they don’t have one for that location) : I’ve never been so disgusted in a place. The staff is SOOOOOOORUDE. The worst customer service ever. There have been so many situations where the employees there have been so rude to me for no reason. They have no patience and they don’t make the salads right at all. I’m paying $ 10 for lettuce. I’m calling corporate tomorrow I’ve had enough! I’ve never been to the one in Bethlehem. The one in Whitehall is closest to me but after what I’ve been through with them I’m no longer going there.

Everyone loves Saladworks but I am not impressed. They are overpriced and the ingredients aren’t that fresh. Often, the lettuce or avocado is a little frozen still. I don’t know if the cooler is set to be too cold(I guess that’s better than it being too warm), and the lettuce freezes. Have you ever had frozen lettuce? It’s gross. There is very little flavor to the ingredients and to me, veggies should taste like something. I’ve never had the soups, but my coworkers like them. We don’t work far from Wegman’s, so usually if I want a salad, I will just go there. I can have as many toppings as I want! And it usually ends up costing the same or less for a salad of equal or greater size.

Extremely friendly and helpful staff. This was our first visit on a Saturday night. I had a half salad and soup. The vegetarian chili soup was great, yes it was spicy and a create your own salad. My wife had a half sandwich and a create your own salad. She said the chicken Mozzetta half sandwich was excellent. They serve a great low calorie meal. Each meal was served with a small bad of Cape Cod chips. We should do this once a week.

New to the area, never been to a Saladworks. Walked in and was pleased with the layout of the fresh salad ingredients. They looked lush and fresh! Soo many to choose from. You can choose from about a dozen salads that they have recipes for, or you can create your own. I opted for the Buffalo chicken salad and it was fresh and tasty, there was too much bleu cheese. I like bleu cheese, but the broad behind the counter either thought I was sexy or cute or was randomly feeling generous. I kid you not when I say she put an ENTIRECUP of bleu cheese crumbles on my salad! Yucky! Too much! Other ingredients were delish. I checked out and the clerk pitched thier«rewards» card promo and asked me if I wanted a wheat or white roll. Wow, unexpected. I opted for the wheat roll. Was craggy, and soft, with a little bit of a nice crunchhhie texture on it. Seemed like a fresh bakery roll. Not frozen. Was pleased ! Perfecf compliment to try to balance out all the bleu cheese! ;) The resturant was clean and bright and I will be back. I took off 2 stars for TOOMUCHBLEUCHEESE(oh PU !) and for the PRICE! Are you serious? Was the cashier serious when the total came to over 10 bucks for a salad, roll and diet coke. Oh no thank you. Great experience — PRICEISUNREASONABLEANDIRRATIONAL! I will be back but maybe next month. I would recommend this place to a friend. It as terrific. Just be sure to tell the broad behind the counter to go soft on the BLEUCHEESE, BITCH! ;)

Food is fresh. Salads are made fast and there are plenty of choices to choose from. I like how they also have soups as well. I personally prefer the create your own salad as I’m not a big fan of the specials that they have but that’s just my personal preference. Not a lot of places to sit but you get your food fast so you’re in and then out quickly.

First time to a Saladworks. My dining companion had been to a different location several times, and indicated the experience here was consistent with the other. A cool concept. About a dozen pre-set salad offerings. Each one is displayed in a container showing the constituent elements of the respective offering. A salad associate puts the order together in front of you. The customer can ask for variation off the plan, and also can spec the dressing — from many choices. There are also several soup and sandwich options. I went with a combo deal. The portions were ample. The pricing very good for what is offered. A full salad runs $ 8 to $ 9. My half and half was also adequately sized. Salad ingredients seemed fresh. Blue cheese dressing was the right mix of creamy and chunky. Not a gourmet salad, but a very good one. The butternut squash soup was good, as well. I’d go back.

My work colleagues and I order from this place at least once a week. I get the Tivoli Salad(pasta noodles, lettuce, deli choices, etc.) and a side of Parmesan Ceaser dressing. and they give you a free bread bun. Very nice– tastes great and really fresh. They also have a great selection for GLUTEN sensitive individuals(including soups). Just ask and they will tell you all you can choose from! I have never been inside the establishment or connected with the staff– so I can’t comment on that. You’re looking at $ 7 to $ 10 for a salad.

I have been getting salads here for myself and my family about 3 times a week for the past year. We love the Create-Your-Own Salads because we can get only what we like, and we can control the fat and calorie content. They have a big variety of salad items, including dressings. I usually order our salads online, and then go pick them up. They have a separate pick-up line so that you usually can get in and out quickly. Of all the restaurants my family and I frequent, this Saladworks is the most accurate at filling our orders. The owners are almost always behind the counter, and they are excellent at overseeing the business’s operation. I’ve been to other Saladworks restaurants, and this one is my personal favorite!

I eat here a few times a week. The employees are very efficient and nice and the ingredients could not be fresher. The rolls are actually freshly baked and not stale from sitting around. The brewed unsweetened iced tea is delicious and the place is very clean. Yes, it’s a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for in terms of quality. Gets really busy from 12−1pm so plan accordingly if you have somewhere to get back to!

Great concept for healthy options on the go however the counter staff here in Bethlehem would never make it in a city larger than gee, Walnutport, Emmaus, or Egypt. The salads are rather insipid, but at least there were plenty of options for changing up each selection. While I sound like I may be out to dis’ the place, I am not, Its a still a great option as it sure beats burger and some fries.

I wanted to give 3.5, just to be clear. :-) Aside from the obvious, they offer sandwiches and soup as well. I had their signature Chicken Monterey and their Maryland Crab soup. The sandwich was well prepared with ample(if not too thick) chicken. The chicken was in layers, but all on top of one another without folding, creating a pretty thick bite of meat. The vege’s and sauces chosen were a nice complement to the poultry and properly-crisp focaccia bread. I’d give the sandwich a 3.8 The Maryland Crab was more the state than the crustacean. A thick, spicy broth with corn and other vegetables and an apparent hint of crab. I wouldn’t order it again, for sure. I’d give the soup a 3 at best. So I ended up with a Sandwich and Soup for over $ 12. That was a little disturbing. I’ll gladly pay that in a sit-down 3 – 4 star… but not in a chain. I would have appreciated the feeling of a combo too– everything is ala carte. I’d give the cost a generous 3.5 The restaurant was very clean and decently appointed. Think smaller Panera with 25% of the menu. I’d give the building and menu a 3.5 Trust me, I prefer fresh, crisp, and healthy over burgers almost any day… but I’ll probably look around a bit before I revisit this tasty, but over-priced eatery.

Salad is usually a pretty safe option for eating more low-carb, healthfully. Saladworks offers such an array of salads and«design your own» options you really can’t go wrong. The location is convenient to my office and is always clean and inviting. The ingredients are fresh and their soup selection is usually pretty great. I’ve never tried their wraps, so I can’t comment on those. For those that want a quick, healthy lunch option, this is the place. Make sure to get one of their new swipable loyalty cards to earn freebies. Ahh, and if you’re a fan of fresh iced tea — it’s very good here. Only downside to the place is the price. It’s definitely not a «daily» lunch affair, in my opinion. More like a 2 to 3x per month treat.

While traveling for business, I try to eat healthy. I noticed this place across from my hotel and thought I would give it a shot. I jumped online and placed my order. The food was ready VERY promptly and all fresh ingredients. The only beef I had is that for the $ 8.00 for a «make your own» salad, I felt I was shorted a little. All in all though, I thought it tasted great. I will definitely be back again soon!

Many varieties of fresh salads. You select a pre-set creation or «Create Your Own». They also have wraps, if you so choose, which is any of their salads put into a tortilla. The wraps come with chips and a pickle. The chips have more than 10 grams of fat. They should offer something else besides fatty chips. A meal with a drink is about 9 dollars. They now have a point card, which you can pick up for free at the register; activate it, and accumulate points whenever you make a purchase. The wraps are A+ !!!

Let me start off by saying, I’ve never been a big Salad Fan… I’m very picky about what goes on my salads, what kind of dressing, and even about the type of lettuce. So needless to say, if I try a more extravagant salad while out at a restaurant, I’m very particular about it. Now that the intro is out of the way, I can go on to say that I was VERY pleased with my lunch experience at Saladworks this week. Not surprisingly, they have a large selection of «specialty salads» with each one made up in the display case so you can actually SEE what you’re ordering.(There’s nothing worse then having to read the description of each salad on a wall menu 10 feet away…) I decided to go with the«Bently» salad, and chose to top it off with a bright green dressing called«Green Goddess», which is actually a kind of garlic ranch, and was SO good! One thing I can’t stand is when all the dressing is sitting on top of a salad and the lettuce at the bottom doesn’t get any of it. Well, at Saladworks they spend a good deal of time mixing around the salad contents and dressing which was great! Since this was my first time there, the service line actually went a bit fast for me, as I was still looking around and deciding what I wanted.(This speed will be a plus in the future when I’m in a hurry!) Along with the salad, you get a white or wheat roll so you’re not entirely carb free all afternoon, which is nice. I paid $ 9 for the salad, roll, and fountain soda, which was a BIT much for a lunch. I wouldn’t go here every day, but it will be a good nutritious lunch to have once in a while. Besides salads they do offer paninis, wraps, and soup so even if you’re less of a salad person than me you could still find something to eat. Just a note — I came in around 1:00 and most of the crowd had already died down but I’ve heard this place is packed earlier in the day so you should plan accordingly. Overall, it was a real good salad and definitely exceeded my expectations, I will be back!
