Large Salad For Lunch At A Reasonable Price
 
What are some recommendations for local restaurants which serve a large tossed or garden salad for lunch, not a buffet or salad bar, at a reasonable price?

Large Salad
 
I love Gator's Dockside Cobb Salad. It is reasonably priced and sometimes I have to take the leftovers home.

my favorite is the oriental chicken salad (grilled chicken) at Applebees.

I like the Asian salad at Crisper's. Also the salads at Panera are big and good.

Everything good at Fresh Market. . . except the prices. Not exactly reasonable.

I'm not sure what "reasonable" is but Cane Garden has a wonderful Pan Asian salad with coconut shrimp for $9.95, Arnold Palmers has a great scallop salad for $13.00 and Nancy Lopez has warm lobster salad for $12.00. They are all large, meal sized salads.

I like the House Salad at Cody's and the cost is $7.00 and its a BIG salad and you can have more if you want :)

Liked Flippers
 
Went to Flippers for lunch today and hubby and I each had a personal pizza. We really enjoyed it. My cheese Pizza was 5.99 including a drink, and his (two toppings) was 6.99 including drink. He ate all of his and I could only finish half of mine. Very reasonably priced. I saw some salads come out and they looked mighty hearty and delish! Didn't look at the price.

Try CHI's which is near Winn Dixie. They have great salads, the half salad is $3.50 and for me it is plenty. They also have wonderful cheesesteaks, cheeseburgers and ice cream! We eat there several times a week, I always have one of the salads, can't beat it for $3.50. Oh, this is a very healthy salad, the ones at Applebees and some others that were mentioned are very good, but with LOTS of hidden calories.

I told ya:icon_hungry::icon_hungry::) And we also enjoy the Flippers chop salad that has all sorts of goodies in it with a delicious house dressing.

Where is Applebees located?

Mudder 08-07-2012 11:31 AM

Applebees is on 441/27, not far from intersection of Avinedia Central. But beware , that Oriental Chicken salad is very good, but TONS of hidden fats and sugars.

Where is the hidden fat? If you order the grilled chicken, I wouldn't know where they would hide it. It's lettuce, grilled chicken, a few dried oriental noodles and dressing. If you order the dressing on the side you should be good to go.

The way I order it with grilled chicken and a low fat dressing is the way to go.
