Across the reviews, Mandy's is described as a welcoming spot with bright decor, a vibe that feels both trendy and relaxed, and consistently friendly, attentive staff. The salads are praised for being fresh, colorful, and generously topped, with favorites like Habibi and Cowboy Salad with pulled beef, plus customizable bowls and the option to sample dressings. Service is noted as quick and reliable, and several reviewers appreciate the personal care from staff when things go wrong, even when mistakes occur such as missing utensils or online order mix ups. Some locations are busy at lunch and price is a common caveat, with mentions of higher costs and a cashless policy that some customers dislike. A few comments call the music too loud for a restaurant setting, and one or two note occasional menu changes or item unavailability that alter what is offered. Overall Mandy's is seen as a go to for fresh, satisfying salads and a welcoming environment, with strong consistency and a few practical caveats about policy, price, and occasional hiccups.
I eat out a lot. When I feel bad about eating unhealthy, I finally pull the trigger & order from Mandy's. On the website I built my own salad for takeout. Nothing special: mixed greens, cucumber, tomato, feta, chickpeas, pita chips, chicken, marinated onions, Kalamata… $30. I've been programmed to accept expensive salads, but this is getting out of hand. Fine, I remove feta & pita chips - btw charging $2.75 for pita chips is criminal. You can get a whole bag for like $1.29 at Adonis. Whatever, I remove tomato & cucumber too because I have that at home. I'll make my own chips. Now it's $20. I get home. Salad looks decent, what you'd expect from Mandy's. Portion is okay. I asked for dressing on the side; good thing, because it was terrible. What happened to the quality of this olive oil? It went from decent to bitter low grade. The bowl was a bit small so I transferred it to another one. Lo & behold, that's when I saw disgusting lettuce. Old, slimy, soggy lettuce. Unacceptable. The whole point of paying $20 is that you expect fresh salad, not this slop. Sure, it was only around 10 leaves, but still unacceptable. I end up inspecting every leaf for slime & rewashing a few. That's exactly what I pay extra to avoid. How is this okay? Huge staff, huge marketing budget, & you can't guarantee fresh salad? This is the second time this happens, so I decided to write a review. Last time I told myself it was a one-off, but now I'm the sucker for going back. Don't make the same mistake.
Mandy's is one of my favourite places to stop for a quick, healthy, & balanced meal. Their salads are vibrant & colorful, the greens are fresh & crisp, & the toppings & dressings are varied & flavourful. The portion sizes are super generous too! There are plenty of plant-based & vegan options, all of which are clearly labelled on the menu. The Endless Summer salad has been my go-to for years & I never tire of it!
The staff are friendly & efficient, even during busy rush hours. There's quite a bit of indoor seating in a bright, laid-back atmosphere with comfy benches.

We usually order food to go from this place, & yesterday was our first time dining in. I finished my salad first, & my partner was still eating his when the server came by & asked if everything was okay. We said yes, but she did not ask my partner if he was finished with his meal. She then placed a napkin into his bowl & cleared it away.
We were both shocked because he was not done eating yet. Regardless of how long she has been working as a server, this is something she should know to ask before clearing a plate. We were very disappointed with this experience.
Bien désolée de mettre un avis négatif mais cela fait maintenant à 3 reprises que je suis très déçue. Ce n'est plus le Mandys du début. La fraîcheur & la qualité des produits ne sont plus là. Dommage !
This Mandy's is great!!!! Staff is amazing, salads are always well prepared, & super quick service!! Interior is also very pretty!! My favourite Mandy's on the island for sure!!

I FOUND A MASSIVE CRICKET IN MY SALAD. COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE & UNHYGIENIC. THE FRONT CASH GIRL WAS KIND & APOLOGETIC BUT THE GIRL THAT WAS MAKING THE SALAD DIDN'T EVEN BAT AN EYE?!?! MADE ME WONDER IF THIS IS SOMETHING THEY SEE ON THE REGULAR? THE RESPONSE WAS THAT IT WAS FROM THE ORGANIC LETTUCE. I ALSO BUY ORGANIC LETTUCE BUT I DO MY DUE DILIGENCE & WASH IT. THE INSECT WAS SO BIG IT WAS HARD TO MISS. IVE BEEN A CUSTOMER SINCE 2004 & I AM SO DISGUSTED I WILL NEVER EVER GO BACK.
Ça fait plusieurs fois que les instructions données avec la commande en ligne ne sont pas respectées. C'est énervant, encore plus quand on paie 30 $ un bol qu'on ne pourra pas manger entièrement à cause de l'erreur.

Stopped in in the middle of a rainstorm & wow, customer service is not dead! I couldn't decide whether to try a new salad & I was offered a sample taste of the dressing. She was so polite & attentive! Shout out to Meredith at Mandy's!!
The salads are amazing too 💕
We brought our delicious salads to the park to enjoy under a shade tree only to discover - there were no forks in the bag!!
We finally rustled up a couple to eat our amazing salads.
Mandy, please don't forget the forks!
