★★★★★ 5.0 Jason & Danielle Patterson · Dec 2025

Decided to go to lunch today somewhere new and was glad I did. My Caesar salad was robust and delicious. Instead of the tuna I replaced it with chicken. It was a great experience overall, a little chilly in the place but not bad. I also had a very small chicken bone in one of the pieces of chicken but that was easily removed.

The Garden Bar is truly a gem for salad lovers! They offer an impressive variety of salads packed with generous portions of fresh vegetables and quality proteins. Each ingredient is vibrant and flavorful, showcasing their commitment to freshness. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, thanks to the friendly staff who go out of their way to ensure a pleasant dining experience. Whether you're looking for a quick lunch or a satisfying meal, The Garden Bar should be at the top of your list. I highly recommend giving it a try!

First time, built our own bowls. Food is incredibly fresh, flavorful and plentiful. Salad bowls can be a hearty and healthy meal. If we had this restaurant in our area we would go here over Chipotle everyday of the week. Highly recommend!

I had been meaning to try this place for a few months now and I’m so glad I did! They have a great range of salad, noodle, and rice bowl options. The staff were very welcoming and the atmosphere was nice with some festive touches for the holidays. Perfect spot for a healthy, quick, and delicious lunch!
