Overall, Mandy's salads are praised for freshness, flavor, and generous ingredients, with standouts like the Habibi salad and the tuna salad earning high marks when portions are substantial. However, other reviews point to inconsistencies in portion size and value, missing toppings or dressing, and higher prices that some feel do not match what is received. Service ranges from friendly and efficient to slow or underwhelming, with a noted gift card processing hiccup on one visit. The ambiance and decor are repeatedly praised, and several locations are described as comfortable and welcoming. Taken together, Mandy's is seen as a go to for delicious, healthy salads, but experiences vary in food quantity, cost, and service.
I went back to the Laurier location after a dull dry Cobb salad the week before, but today's generous, super fresh & delicious Habibi salad showed me that it was not the norm for Mandy's salads. The staff was wonderful & my overall experience this time for lunch was excellent. Great salad, generous serving, well-balanced fresh ingredients. I recommend ordering the dressing on the side (that's what I will do from now on) so you can get a good amount & pour it yourself. This was the perfect amount of dressing for this Habibi salad & it's officially my favourite now. Thank you Mandy's!

Been ordering for years & my experience has been dining in at the downtown location - very good portions & service. I order every so often from Laurier & been pretty disappointed at the food quality & inconsistency. The last time I ordered there was barely any lettuce, the bowl wasn't full at all for a sesame salad. Secondly, I understand inflation & everything but a few months ago it was only $4 to add chicken, then $6 & now it's 6.50. I decided to add chicken this time as I'm pretty low iron & hoped for a more generous offering than the last time I had ordered it. I was given 8 tiny pieces. Seems pretty high for such a small portion. $4 seems more reasonable for that many. I must say the bowl was quite full this time but mostly of Romane lettuce. This is the second time I've been given barely any chicken & likely last time I'll be ordering, it's just gotten too expensive for what you're getting. Some of the tomatoes were also mushy.
Made my own salad bowl at the location in Centropolis. Service was good, salad was very good...even added a cookie for dessert. Small quaint store but good service & food. Prices are a bit high but nowadays where isn't it high.
They consistently mess up orders. Ordered two different soups, got the same one twice, & a Cobb salad with no egg in it. Only eat in restaurant so they can fix mistakes.
