Top 5 Salad in Orange County

3017 Daniels Rd Suite #102, Winter Garden, FL 34787, United States

“First Watch is an excellent brunch restaurant chain. Everything we had to eat was great. This location is definitely a popular place and was busy when we were there so plan accordingly. It isn't a huge restaurant, but there is a decent amount of indoor and outdoor seating.”

““That right there is the perfect salad,” raved my friend who brought me here for lunch today. Since 2010 she’s come here regularly to build her own salad and said she was pretty sure a couple of the staff had been there since then! It’s true, Roberta at the register happily enthused, staff love working here. Pedro at the grill and Artak working the front room have worked here over a decade. This is a small business that’s thrived on this corner since 2005, surviving the pandemic with its loyal staff and clients, some of whom come 5 days a week and are known by name! The owner’s name is Brian and he’s behind the success of this restaurant which is in a class by itself. What makes it stand out: a chef develops fresh toppings and options which they put out for tourists on the weekends (it’s a satellite restaurant for Mall at Millenia) but they keep the favorites for the weekdays, and the regulars keep coming back. The price for a salad is unmatched in Orlando in my experience. I built a large vegetarian salad which included a choice of base and five toppings for <$8. Instead of a dressing they allowed me to choose a sixth topping! I chose the marinated mushrooms which had enough marinade to flavor my salad. Loved the pickled onions, quinoa, fresh corn and variety of cheeses offered. There were more appealing toppings than I could get to in one visit. My friend got the grilled chicken, feta, bell peppers, and more. She said the freshness and variety of ingredients here have kept her coming back. Salt and pepper grinders were available. Loved that I felt I’d eaten healthily today and could control what went onto my plate. There were all kinds of patrons, not just health-conscious but a few carnivores, too. Greens and Grille also offered themed salads to order by name, crazy good wraps, soups and desserts for every appetite. Beer and wine were posted at 2-for-1 all day every day! Plus cold brew coffee, fountain drinks and a fridge case of bottled juices and other beverages. The high ceilings, modern chandeliers, expansive ordering area where you can watch them mix your salad in a bowl (like at Giardinos but this is more glamorous) or grill your sandwich/wrap ingredient, floor to ceiling windows, tropical flowering bushes and clean tables inside and out made dining here a pleasure. “It feels like Beverly Hills,” I mused, and my friend concurred. We ate outside and the weather was perfect. Artak checked on us three times with a courteous smile. The team were all in good spirits today, a busy Saturday. I’ll definitely return, even though it’s a drive, because we come to the Mall at Millennia and my picky husband and I will both be able to find something delicious on the menu here. Highly recommended!”

“Our favorite Thai restaurant in Orlando. They definitely use better ingredients than some other places. And they have a nice selection of dishes. My favorite is the spicy basil duck, but the pineapple curry duck is delicious as well. The decor is simple and peaceful. The service is attentive. We also get takeout sometimes and they have an easy online ordering option.”

“Wow! My first time hearing about this place and trying it. Walked in and received great service with a smile. Ordered and sat down with a table number . I ordered the Kickin’ Kay Lynne spicy chicken sandwich on toasted white bread with lettuce and tomato plus a pasta salad as my side dish. The order also came with a mini buttercream frosted cookie. If dining inside, there’s a drink machine & lemonade section. I chose to mix the strawberry lemonade with fresh lemonade for a mixed flavor which was very delicious. I can’t wait to return!!”

“We randomly found this place on Door Dash, and decided to try it out. We liked it enough to go in person after a day of shopping, and found it's even better in person! I think it's wonderful that healthier options like Fresh Kitchen are coming around. I like the food options here a lot more than similar healthy food chains with the same structure. The food tastes fresher, hotter, and the sauces compliment the food well. Not only that, but they have healthy versions of popular soda, along with their own juices as well. I tried their version of Root Beer, and it was honestly really good! The service here has always been great, kind, and fast. Despite the food being pricier, I still don't mind paying it because I feel good after eating it!”
