A Fresh and Friendly Experience at Just Salad – Thanks to Jade! I recently visited Just Salad, and I was thoroughly impressed with both the quality of the food and the exceptional service I received, particularly from a cashier named Jade. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was clean and inviting, with a vibrant display of fresh ingredients. I opted to build my own salad, which is always a great option for those who like to customize their meals. The selection of greens, toppings, proteins, and dressings was extensive, offering something for every palate and dietary preference. All the ingredients appeared incredibly fresh and well-maintained, which is a major plus when you're looking for a healthy and satisfying meal. What truly elevated my experience was the interaction with Jade, the cashier. She greeted me with a warm and genuine smile, making me feel welcome immediately. When it came time to place my order, Jade was incredibly efficient and knowledgeable. She patiently answered my questions about a few of the ingredients and offered helpful suggestions without being pushy. Her friendly demeanor and positive energy were infectious, and it's clear she takes pride in her work. Even with a line forming, she handled each transaction with speed and grace, ensuring everyone felt attended to. My custom-made salad was delicious – everything was perfectly chopped and tossed, and the dressing was distributed evenly. The portion size was generous, leaving me feeling full and satisfied without being overly stuffed. It's clear that the team at Just Salad prioritizes fresh ingredients and quality preparation. Overall, my visit to Just Salad was a fantastic experience. The commitment to fresh, healthy food is evident, and the service, especially from Jade, truly sets this location apart. I highly recommend Just Salad for anyone looking for a quick, healthy, and enjoyable meal, and if you're lucky enough to have Jade assist you, you're in for an even...
Read moreI'm a huge fan of Just Salad, and the Bayside location is conveniently close to me. However, my recent visit was ruined by a disappointing encounter with one of the staff members.
The issue began when I tried to order the breaded chicken. Unfortunately, the sassy hispanic male staff member insisted on arguing with me about the name, claiming it was called "crispy chicken" instead of "breaded chicken." I now know it’s called crispy chicken, but the chicken is still breaded… I found this exchange absolutely ridiculous, he kept going back at it about 5 times even after the conversation was over. Overall what makes it even more ridiculous is that he clearly knew what I was referring to — it’s like he just wanted to bicker with me!
To make matters worse, when I asked for heavy dressing, he seemed put off and ended up giving me a very light drizzle instead. My salad was left dry and flavorless, forcing me to purchase my own dressing to salvage the meal.
What really bothered me, though, was the staff member's attitude. He came across as rude, dismissive, and unprofessional. As a customer, I expect a certain level of respect and courtesy, even on a bad day. I was treating him very kind with please, and thank you.
Despite this unpleasant experience, I will continue to visit Just Salad in Bayside, as it's still my preferred choice over the alternatives in Ditmars or Port Washington. However, I hope the management takes my feedback seriously and addresses the customer service issues that I...
Read moreJust Salad in my neighborhood usually has a lot of good food options, but sometimes one bad server can totally ruin the experience. I stopped by between 1-2 PM (today, being a Sunday-12th day of October) to place three orders, and unfortunately, the same girl with the attitude who’s served me before was working again. She didn’t disappoint—in a bad way. She kept rushing me through my orders like the place was packed, but I was the only one there ordering.
Then she added some bad avocado to my order. When I pointed it out, she added a new one, but honestly, she almost left the bad avocado in until I told her to remove it completely. After that, she kept rushing me and talking over my food, getting pretty loud too. It got so frustrating that I asked if someone else could take over my order. She flat out refused.
Even while mixing my salad, she was still rushing and talking on top of her voice. I asked again for another person to step in, and she still wouldn’t let anyone else handle it. This girl really has a bad attitude. My whole family comes here almost every other day for salads, but after this experience, I’m seriously reconsidering if we want to keep...
