Salad Society / Society of Burgers — Restaurant in Washington Township

This place has such potential, but sadly missed the mark. I was excited to try this casual restaurant for lunch. The idea of being able to select your own fresh vegetables and ingredients for a custom salad sounded perfect and something certainly lacking in Washington Twp. I ordered my salad immediately upon entering the restaurant and then decided to use the bathroom before my meal. Immediately upon entering the restroom, I was in shock. It was absolutely filthy. So much so that I could not bring myself to use it. It was so bad that I actually took a picture of it to show my husband. I wanted to cancel our order, but my husband tried to convince me that maybe it wasn't so bad and that perhaps the marks on the toilet were rust and not stains. If that's the case, isn't that worse? I mean, sure, someone can make a mess in a bathroom and it might be a minute before management knows - but it can get cleaned. However, if those were rust spots, WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULDN'T GO BUY A NEW TOILET SEAT?! THEY'RE $20!!!

We couldn't cancel our order; as it was already being made. I had selected the Cobb salad. It was unlike any Cobb salad I've ever had. The ingredients were all chopped into small pieces and completely indistinguishable from one another. I couldn't tell if their really was egg, Bleu cheese, bacon in there - it was just one big mixture. Honestly, it tasted like it came from a bag at Sam's club. Which is fine, IF you got at at Sam's club, where they're $4! This was darn near $15! The person working there asked me if I wanted cornbread or a roll and I chose a roll, which was more like a ROCK than a ROLL because it was so terribly stale.

Let me just say that it wasn't TERRIBLE, but it wasn't great. And it could have been. I hope they take this review to heart and make some positive changes.

In closing, I'd like to say that I'm hesitant to leave critical reviews. I truly do sympathize with small business owners and I don't want to think that my opinion could hurt them. However, I also believe that in this economy it's getting harder and harder for average people to afford to eat out, and that an honest review might save someone from wasting their money! Hopefully the owners use this review as an opportunity to improve. It's also possible I just caught them...

I love a good hotdog and order specialty hot dogs often from roadside drive in spots to dine in locations across the country. According to my diastolic, maybe a little too often. So when I saw the namesake “Society Dog” at this burger/salad spot I figured it would be tasty, considering it earned a flagship title. I was wrong. Service was average. Got there at 11 and was greeted by an unwelcoming employee. I felt like I was bothering her. The owner/manager guy was behind the counter going over his paperwork and he was wearing dirty gym shorts. It was gross as he stood in front of us awkwardly tying the drawstring of his shorts. Unprofessional at best, disgusting at worst.

The Society Dog is described as “Wrapped in bacon, topped with turkey chili and cheese.” The server brought the dog with no bacon and had to take it back. He brought back a chili dog with two slices of bacon draped across the dog, not a bacon wrapped dog. When I picked up the dog the bun immediately fell apart in multiple pieces. It was not a fresh hotdog bun. The bun isn’t steamed or toasted, just a stale, few day old standard grocery store bun for my $7 hotdog. The chili was Nothing special and barely warm with cold spots throughout (notice the cheese isn’t melted). So after the soggy cold blah flavored turkey sausage disintegrated the stale store bought hot dog bun I was relegated to eating the dog with a fork and knife. Not something I have ever had to do before this! The dog itself appeared to have been grilled however it was warm, not hot enough to have been freshly grilled. I’m probably going to regret eating this dog. This is a $2.50...

I ordered pierogies from this establishment two days ago and they were nothing like the picture. They were the quality of Mrs. T‘s pierogies from Walmart. My establishment that I work at ordered seven salads for lunch today two days later and the entire office was completely dissatisfied with the salad that gave amounts that looked like trail mix of the vegetables, chicken, croutons, and all the other various things that you could have on top of your salad. Every single person that ordered a salad was completely dissatisfied. They delivered the order, which was very nice of them since they don’t normally deliver however, the food was over an hour late. The fries That my coworker ordered felt like they came out the refrigerator because they were so cold. I don’t typically do reviews, but I’m so angry that after speaking to the manager, he gave no type of compassion for what we went through ordering from his establishment. He never said sorry, or offered any type of resolution. He did tell me, however, that he’s been in business for 15 years and I just can’t understand how people are accepting this quality of a salad. I informed him we would never order from there again and he was completely happy with that so I just wanna let you know, sir if your reading is review good luck with...
