What an unexpected surprise to find this gem of a place. Was in East NOLA taking a break from a community service project and was looking for a non-fast food restaurant to get a quick and lite lunch. I have to admit that I almost judged the place by it's surrounding but glad I didn't and reviews by fellow YELPERS assisted in my decision to try this place out.
Located in a weathered strip mall Salad Galore & More is unassuming. Once you open the door, you are brought to a simple, humble, clean and welcoming eating establishment. An alternative to the surrounding popular unhealthy fast food chains, this place brings an element of healthy vegetables, grains, seafood and lean meat options to choose from. I was delighted to see they had a spuds (potatoes) section with all types of options that can be put in a baked potato. In addition, they had salads, wraps, beef and turkey burgers and a variety of chicken and grilled shrimp selections.
I opted to get get a Shrimp spud with grilled shrimp, chives, lite on the butter and shredded cheese. The potatoes in this place are rather large and filling as a meal. This was absolutely filling and delicious. I walked away very satisfied.
The customer service was dead on and the southern hospitality shined through. The sister of the owner represented this place well as she gave me and my table-mates a little history of the place.
I so enjoy small businesses like this that offer awesome healthy services and goods to their community. Next time in NOLA, I will definitely come here again to support.
