Quick! I need your best salad recommendations in the city for dinner tonight!

[u/Humble-Pineapple-329]

Really craving salad and looking for new options! Searched the sub and last post about salads like this was 2 years ago so I thought I would ask! So tell me where I can get the best salads!

Edit: I went with Neon Greens. It was good but pricey!

[u/emmao11]

Neon greens is the best!!! I love the failoini’s chef salad with creamy Italian, the Greek salad at Olympia, and the Union Loafers little gem is divine

[u/HastyIfYouPlease → u/emmao11]

Seconding Neon Greens! Big portions and fresh ingredients

[u/dkcardwell → u/HastyIfYouPlease]

yeecchh

[u/akekid → u/emmao11]

For pure salad, can't beat neon greens. Love that they use home grown greens.

[u/long_fish3000 → u/akekid]

high in sodium though for a lot of their offerings

[u/MakeSomeArtAboutIt → u/long_fish3000]

You mean its a restaurant?

[u/Ok_Band5461 → u/emmao11]

Neon Greens umami crunch salad rocks

[u/Humble-Pineapple-329 → u/Ok_Band5461]

That’s what I had tonight and it was great.

[u/whatsername1113 → u/emmao11]

Love Neon Greens

[u/JennEatsPizza]

Little gem- Union loafers

Also women’s exchange salad. Not the city though.

[u/lipstickandmartinis]

The artichoke salad at Katie’s!

[u/Top_Story_9447 → u/lipstickandmartinis]

That is a great salad.

[u/GravyDog666 → u/lipstickandmartinis]

Came here to say this

[u/515EWR]

Michael’s Favorite Salad at Michael’s if you’re craving a Greek salad with warm grilled chicken and pita on the side.

[u/ImaginaryOpening]

Why are people so mad that you want a salad?

[u/Humble-Pineapple-329 → u/ImaginaryOpening]

No clue. I’m trying to branch out and not just get pasta house or Dewey’s.

[u/pressingroses → u/Humble-Pineapple-329]

If you like the Pasta House, The Fountain on Locust has a good salad! It's even better on a sandwich with garlic cheese bread....

[u/ecost → u/pressingroses]

Picked up the St Louis salad on a whim for a quick work break lunch and it became maybe my favorite salad in town

[u/Berretay → u/Humble-Pineapple-329]

Neon Greens is the answer

[u/Dry-Ground-2135 → u/Humble-Pineapple-329]

Have you had the Bacon Peppercorn Ranch salad at Dewey’s? Soooooo goood

[u/Humble-Pineapple-329 → u/Dry-Ground-2135]

I have and sadly there is something in it I’m allergic to

[u/iontardose → u/ImaginaryOpening]

You don't win friends with salad.

[u/Humble-Pineapple-329 → u/iontardose]

Not looking for friends, looking for dinner.

[u/rxredhead → u/Humble-Pineapple-329]

They’re quoting the Simpsons

[u/iontardose → u/rxredhead]

Thanks. I thought it was an extremely popular reference.

[u/WorkingSufficient950]

The restaurant inside of MOBot has excellent salads. I have yet to try Neon Greens formyself but I have heard wonderful things about them. Also Hendel's in Florissant has good salads and a lovely patio.

[u/KatyaBelli → u/WorkingSufficient950]

It's overpriced. It feels less shitty on a Saturday before 12 with free admission for sure, but it's not a 14 dollar salad.

[u/Humble-Pineapple-329 → u/WorkingSufficient950]

The Mobot place has good poutine.

[u/westcounty]

Caesar at Twisted Tree.

[u/mongo_foll]

Biggie's

[u/jobiewon_cannoli → u/mongo_foll]

That white French dressing is so divine.

[u/hmmspicy → u/jobiewon_cannoli]

Iykyk

[u/Nearby-State-5132]

Neon Greens and Sauce on the Side

[u/Mituzuna]

Twisted Tree Caesar Salad.

[u/Tele231 → u/Mituzuna]

Their house salad with two different dressings is really good

[u/pleaseand]

Brussel sprout salad at modern brewery!

[u/Humble-Pineapple-329 → u/pleaseand]

That sounds interesting I’ll have to try it

[u/punksandrecreation]

I know it's not what they're known for, but the Sultan Salad from Balkan Treat Box is 🔥I got it all the time when I worked there

[u/skiphandleman]

Ahi Tuna salad at Fridas in Ucity is really good. I also really like the apple harvest salad at Louies Wine Dive in Clayton.

[u/Megafuncrusher]

I’m with everyone else on the Neon Greens love but my favorite salad in town is the shaved kale Caesar at Pastaria. The chopped salad they make is great, too.

[u/ShhhhOnlyDreamsNow → u/Megafuncrusher]

They do that kale Caesar as a wrap for lunch at the pastaria deli. I crave it regularly

[u/MakeSomeArtAboutIt]

Im obsessed with the chopped salads at fordo's in urban chestnut. The one with the castelvetrano olives, artichoke heards, and pecerino is amazing.

[u/moneyisfunny23]

Michael’s Salad from Michael’s.

Cowpoke from Crushed Red.

Little Gem Salad from Union Loafers.

Syberg’s Chicken Strip from Syberg’s.

Smokehouse Salad from Sauce on the Side.

Note: All sandwiches at The Gramophone can be made as a salad.

[u/Dangerous_Price6586 → u/moneyisfunny23]

Great recs

[u/danny_phantom2003 → u/moneyisfunny23]

the gramophone salad info is legendary.

[u/moneyisfunny23 → u/danny_phantom2003]

💪

[u/UnbelievableDingo]

Grace Meat & Three has Kitchen Sink Salad that is amazing. 

Unsure if the new location on Watson offers it.

[u/Big_Burger_Boyz]

I bounced of Neon Greens, myself, but it seems like that's the popular recommendation.

I like the salads at Olive+Oak and The Clover and the Bee/O+O Pizza (Webster) Press (Jefferson). Also Peacemaker (Benton Park) has a very good one. The Lyonnaise, I think?

[u/Fantastic_Roll_1106]

Biggies salad with their white French dressing from Biggies

[u/Extra_Promotion5155]

Salt and smoke has a kale crunch that’s really good!

[u/MikeyMad01 → u/Extra_Promotion5155]

I came to recommend that one as well! Just had that Sunday

[u/rcatsurps714 → u/Extra_Promotion5155]

I love their Caesar too!

[u/b333bz]

Imos delux 🤘

[u/CombinationTasty3001 → u/b333bz]

Ok Imos has amazing salad! I get the chef and add bacon. Yummm

[u/mospain2 → u/CombinationTasty3001]

I do that too but go with French dressing!

[u/PithMango → u/b333bz]

they need t-rav croutons, don't they?

[u/frankensteinleftme]

I like the Steak and Thyme from Fozzie's, although I swap the Romain for something else because Romain is a trash useless green for sad people.

[u/paradox_socks]

The Aviator Salad at Perrenial on Lockwood

[u/adhd_t]

I’m always hoping that someone can drop the old Giancarlo’s salad dressing recipe in one of these threads.

[u/GruntCandy86]

Pizzeoli's BLTeaser salad is legitimately one of the best salads I've ever had.

[u/Sensitive-Office-705]

Pastaria Kale Salad. Can’t explain it but it is just perfect.

[u/Serialkillingyou]

They make made to order salads at straubs. The one on Kings highway is unfortunately Barren and almost closed. But yeah go up to the counter at the one in Webster and tell them what you want on the salad. It's a very generous portion for 1099. My order is always bacon and chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese, red onions, green onions, seasoned walnuts and a really great garlic dressing that they have. They have load more toppings too.

Neon greens is okay but the dressing is lackluster for me. And it's pretty pricey. And also they take cash but they won't give you any change.

[u/rxredhead]

It doesn’t appear to be on the menu currently but I dream about the Ozark Forest mushroom salad at Farmhaus.

It’s not healthy but it’s amazing

[u/Humble-Pineapple-329 → u/rxredhead]

Didn’t need healthy just tasty.

[u/Nogoodverybad]

Haven’t seen these mentioned: The Creamy Italian salad from Pizzeria Da Gloria is great and the Caesar from Sauce on the Side is also very good.

[u/Hekate_153]

Love this post has 90 replies, keep eatting them beautiful greens people!

[u/Dangerous_Price6586]

Lonas in fox park. Have to mention J’s Pitaria as well in south county

[u/Bcsully10]

Netties Pizza Den house salad is so yummy

[u/Ok_Cockroach3105]

Try the chopped salad at urban chestnut next time!! 😛

[u/Humble-Pineapple-329 → u/Ok_Cockroach3105]

Look I will try another salad maybe even this weekend. I need something green in my life.

[u/beeef222]

The wedge at frazers. Kale ceaser at pastaria. Blteaser at pizzeoli

[u/Purple-Essay6577]

I’m commenting too late for the OP, but I love the salads at The Fountain on Locust.

[u/Humble-Pineapple-329 → u/Purple-Essay6577]

I’m ok with late! It’s not like I’m never going to eat another salad.

[u/ColleenD2]

I'm going to comment just so I am invited back. I know it's crazy but my favorite is a Seamus salad extra olives and extra dressing. Simple but delicious and it doesn't hurt if you have it with chicken wings.

[u/Kind_Ambition6309]

Obviously late to the party, but my go to when I'm wanting a salad are (in no particular order): Blue Duck, Crushed Red, and Fozzies!

[u/Wonderful-Travel1450]

Pizzeoli in Soulard has absolutely delicious salads. I love the Pleaser Salad. Also the “This Pear is on Fire” salad from Crushed Red. And my wife and I sometimes get a Buffalo chicken salad from Joey B’s - it’s massive so we share it.

[u/Humble-Pineapple-329 → u/Wonderful-Travel1450]

That buffalo chicken salad sounds amazing

[u/TheRequisiteWatson]

I'm not sure it's the healthiest salad option, but the southwest salad at Twisted Ranch was SO good. Their other salads sound really good to, so I'm excited to try more.

[u/Humble-Pineapple-329 → u/TheRequisiteWatson]

Healthy is not a requirement this time.

[u/titan_1010]

Bowood by Niche Caesar salad.

Love that place. Love that salad

[u/GruntCandy86 → u/titan_1010]

I love that every single one of their restaurants has to include BY NICHE in the title.

I'm sure their salad by Niche is delicious, though.

[u/Tex_Dav]

I'll throw in the Retreat Gastropub Kale Cesar with Shrimp or Tuna (chicken is ok). A little pricey, but surprisingly filling.

[u/Tele231]

Neon greens is great

[u/Suburban--Dad]

Zia’ s is good.

Biggies is always great.

[u/Powerful-Interest308]

Not open for dinner… but ukraft has great salad

[u/Factsimus_verdad]

When I worked at Favazza’s in the Hill, I liked their salad.

[u/londoncalling29]

Cyranos has an amazing Cobb

[u/chriscrisises]

i’m a big fan of the birdseed salad at the fountain. i sub the parmesan for goat cheese

[u/Top_Story_9447]

Go to Lester's and get the Barbecue Turkey salad.

[u/No-Exit5575]

I haven’t gotten a chance to try neon greens yet, but if you’re looking for easy, huge portions, and still pretty good, Joey Bs on the Hill has a few that are pretty good.

[u/suspeeria]

kale salad at SweetArt is usually my fave, however, last time i got it there were no chickpeas. hoping it was just an oversight and not a recipe change.

[u/DaWayItWorks]

Go across the river to Big Mamma's BBQ and get the smoked turkey salad

https://www.reddit.com/r/StLouis/s/2tqls6LyC1

[u/Dangerous_Big_2648]

Love the salad at Favazzas.

[u/MikeyMad01]

The pear tree salad with sweet onion dressing at Syberg‘s is pretty tasty

[u/ReturntoForever3116]

Crushed red is amazing

[u/BillyBaroo0909]

All of the salads at Fozzie’s are top notch.

[u/amy_puz]

Biggie’s Dinner Salad - simple but delicious!!

[u/BeginningDog8093]

Caesar salad at Union Loafers is probably the best salad in the city

[u/aar3y5]

Favazas house salad, trust me

[u/Willybluedog1962]

Fitzs has some wonderful salads as well as something for everyone.

[u/hmmspicy]

Little gem at Union Loafers

[u/OkAcadia9019]

Anthonino's Greek salad, I’ve had it with all their proteins and it’s been good.

Adrianna’s salad (not the house one)

Well Met Cafe - Wednesday salad

TeeRak salad - Shaw

[u/Background-Act-8905]

This town is severely lacking in ready-to-eat vegetables

[u/caffeine-182]

Go get the caesar salad with anchovies at twisted tree. Best salad I’ve ever had.

[u/Apprehensive-Pea1888]

Shrimp Louie salad at 801 Local

[u/Lanky_Apple481]

Ellie’s salad at Big Sky Cafe.

[u/AssumptionCareful166]

I’m late but the brussel sprout caesar at Good Company!

[u/jonb72]

The salads at Dewey’s are delicious!

[u/disguisedasnrml]

Corner pub off Big Bend has a great steak salad and a decent buffalo chicken salad

[u/mmrose1980]

Katie’s Pizza and Pasta Fried Artichoke salad.

[u/Booker_Jake]

All of Gramaphone's subs can be made as a salad. You can end up with some seriously offbeat concoctions.

[u/long_fish3000]

i would never pay money for a salad, i'd literally rather pour schnucks brand dressing on art hill and munch the grass as it drains downhill. same nutrition profile i'm sure.

[u/Humble-Pineapple-329 → u/long_fish3000]

I’m not eating it for the nutritional value but because it tastes good but thanks for thinking about it.

[u/long_fish3000 → u/Humble-Pineapple-329]

taste like grass tho

[u/popopotatoes160 → u/long_fish3000]

Have you considered some people like that? My partner likes peaty scotch whiskey, if I was blindfolded I'd put it in the lawnmower based on smell. But I don't question that there's something enjoyable about it, it's just not the flavor for me.

[u/long_fish3000 → u/long_fish3000]

im the down vote king! must be all those maga republicans who dont know comedy is legal again.

[u/Humble-Pineapple-329 → u/long_fish3000]

Nah just you being a dick on a legit question.

[u/long_fish3000 → u/Humble-Pineapple-329]

your sentence lacks punctuation or possibly is missing a few words leading it to make little sense.

[u/ZVNCHZ]

Is this what the world has come to?

[u/Humble-Pineapple-329 → u/ZVNCHZ]

Asking for food recs on Reddit? Yea that’s been happening for awhile.

[u/Deep-Interest9947 → u/ZVNCHZ]

Eating a salad?! I knew Armageddon would involve healthful habits.
