Salad Meister - Champaign

I had really high hopes when I heard this spot was going to open and boy was excited when it lived up to the expectations! Seriously one of the best salads I have ever had. I got the Asian Zing and my girl got the Southern Spice. Both were phenomenal! I'm certainly going to make this a regular lunch or dinner spot. I especially like that they incorporate local produce into their line up which is really nice to see. The products are also organic which to me isn't the biggest deal but I know some people are very strict about that. The chicken was also really really good, it was legit chicken breast that was baked then sliced unlike most places where it's some sodium filled lunch meat. Both of the sales together came to around $18, which I think is a very fair price considering the quality and the quantity that you receive. It is a very large portion. The packaging they put the salads in, the utensils and the cups are all biodegradable also which is such an important move in my opinion. That alone made them one of my favorite restaurants already. In fact, I might be back for dinner just to try one of the other salads. When you're willing to go twice in one day, you know it's good!

After thoroughly creeping Salad Meisters delicious looking pics on Ig, I had high expectations when I came in with my bf last week, and I was not disappointed. I got the Southern Spice and it was AMAZING. I'm the kind of person who likes a little spice, but I like to still taste the food (not just spiciness and this salad was absolutely perfect. The tortilla chips on top also added the perfect crunch!! He got the Asian Zing, which I obviously tried, and it was also delicious! So delicious that he actually came back that night and got the Campus Cobb in a wrap. He absolutely raved about it.. so much so that I came in and got one today!! Another home run!! Soooo tasty! We have plans to come back later in the week, and I can say with confidence that this will be a place that I frequent regularly!! As far as the staff/restaurant itself goes, both times I've been in everything has been clean and tidy and the staff has been super friendly. I especially like that the ingredients are distributed in marked measuring cups!! That makes things easier for people like me who track their macros. Nutritional information on the dressings would be a solid addition, but they taste so great, it almost doesn't matter! Overall, I give this place an A and if I could give more than 5 stars, I would! :

Absolutely amazing! I loved everything about it, the food was great, the service was great, and the concept was great. Most of all it's good for you! I can see myself having lunch here everyday.

If you want something quick, healthy, fresh, local, organic, vegan, or vegetarian then this is the place to go! The salads and wraps are delicious and the staff is awesome and helpful!

Great healthy option on campus with friendly staff. Highly recommend.
