Reviews for Giardino Gourmet Salads in Miramar, FL
I attempted to order a salad today but the person behind the counter didn't understand English. She went to get a manager but... the manager also couldn't understand English. I found this unbelievable. How do you run a company in a country where you can'tspeak the language? After some back and forth I ended up leaving. Very disappointing. I used to eat here a couple times of week.I won't be going back. Read more
Quick service and friendly staff. Great choices and salad and ingredients always fresh.
I'm giving 3 Stars only because I absolutely love the food and all the options. However, every time I call the Miramar location... the staff does not want to pick up the phone. I usually call right before I leave my house and it takes me 20 minutes to get tothat location and the whole ride there I'm calling calling calling and nobody wants to pick up. So I went inside to get my foodeven though I was running very late and I tried calling while I was inside and I can hear the phone ring and all this staff iscompletely ignoring the phone. How many customers are they losing by not picking up the phone to place phone orders? I asked thegirl if I had the right number even though I knew I did because I've called eight times and I showed her on my phone the amountof times that I called she said they don't pick up the phone when we get too busy. I told her I only see one person standing online in front of me and that's not an excuse. You guys need to pick up the phone so people need to place phone orders thatthey're able to do that. Another customer standing at the utensils said she was calling too and it just kept ringing too. Thestaff that was there this afternoon just seem to be really lazy. I own a small business and the reason why I'm at my businessevery single day is because I don't want lazy employees messing with my income. Seems to me they should make some changes tostaffing if they want to increase their productivity. Read more
If only I could leave the stars blank because this place does not deserve a single one. I order a salad with romaine lettuce (... I had no idea about the e coli outbreak yet). As I was walking out of the location I happened to be on the phone with myhusband, he told me about the issue with romaine lettuce and said it should not be served or consumed. I immediately returnedinside the restaurant and politely asked to have my salad re done without romaine lettuce. I was told no. I wasn't even offereda refund. I left the restaurant and threw my lunch away. I am very displeased with the way this was handled. I will not bereturning to that restaurant ever again. As it is this was me giving this location a second chance, as I have gotten sick aftereating here in the past and on another occasion was served ROTTEN tuna. I'm am extremely disappointed once again.

In town, and visited for dinner. Online it sounded a lot better than what I saw available. Of all the soups listed they were out... of everything but lentil. I did get a small bowl and it was very good. If you ever get to Texas try Salada! This is what I amcomparing to. Read more
I love the variety of salads at this chain of giardino salad restaurants. However at this location I've noticed that my salads... did not completely fill the box and there's a lot of empty air. At their other locations when I get a regular size salad I'musually completely full but not when I pick an item from here. My suggestion would be to be vigilant that they pack your boxwith your selection of salad or to go to another location. I've also noticed on a couple of occasions that some of the cheeseitems or other toppings tend to be clumped up not fully spread out and mixed in my salad box at this location. Read more
I am so in love with this place & their concept! I use to go to the coral gables location often for lunch and when I moved to... Broward I was thrilled about the Miramar location - also wouldn't mind more popping up in the area! Fresh, large salads filledwith various greens, proteins, nuts, fruits veggies etc! A bunch of options paired with delicious dressings or an easy to customoption for the perfect salad for you. I also appreciate that all salads can easily become a wrap option for a quick on the gomeal that is still very healthy! My go to is the big apple! Filled with greens, chunks of Apple, cheeses & various nuts with adelicious vinaigrette dressing! They also have cookies or nuts at the front counter for that sweet tooth! I'm also thrilled thatthey are now open on Sunday's! I always found myself in that Kohl's plaza on a Sunday excited to grab a salad and find themclosed! Also make sure to call about their soup of the day! Their tomato basil is out of this world amazing! It's so good it'stypically gone before lunch is over, trust me you'll want to get a large and save some for the next day! Their lentil & broccoliare also favorites of mine but honestly all are great!

The lentils soup is amazing! I like the chicken Cesar salad as well, but make sure that you say easy dressing.
