The Salad Station 13811 West Hillsborough Avenue, Tampa, FL 33635

"After hearing my parents rave about this place for months, I finally got to go check it out and it lived up to the hype! What a cool concept (and executed so well!) Think of it like a froyo bar but for salad; you get to create your own and pay by the weight. The place is vibrant and clean, with so many choices - I was delighted to see how many options I had and how delicious (and HEALTHY!) they all seemed. Truly, everything was so fresh and colorful. It was really fun to be there - and let’s face it, salads need a little extra excitement (that this place provided!) The service was friendly and I will be making this place a regular lunch spot!"

"I don’t even know where to begin, this place is just my favorite. It probably sounds strange to call a “make your own” salad place your favorite restaurant but every time I go it’s a great experience. The employees are always so friendly and they gladly offer to chop my salad. The ingredients are always fresh and stocked and the employees keep the salad bar very clean."

"Great find! We were so excited to find a place that we could build our own salad. The options are unlimited, and they even have soups and a potato bar. And we were spot-on a 1 lb salad and did not leave hungry! Very clean! You're required to wear gloves when you are fixing your salads. The restaurant was spotless. And the staff was very welcoming and friendly. When we were reading the instructions when we got in, one of the girls asked us if it was our first time and she walked us through everything we needed to know. Will definitely make this a go-to place in the future."

"Very much enjoyed the variety of options and how the whole process works in this make-your-own salad restaurant. You walk in and have to put gloves on before being able to serve yourself around the salad bar. Their grilled chicken is very juicy. I like how they have a variety of dressings, especially just olive oil and some lemon, which is my favorite type of mix in a salad because it's simple and still delicious. You can also grab some fruits/yogurt, and sweet/normal baked potatoes. They also have a cooler for some drinks. I would definitely recommend - I'd come here every day, if I could!"
