Plano’s first Salad and Go opened in May 2021, bringing the Arizona-born drive-thru salad chain to Texas. The pitch was simple: large 48-ounce salad bowls, breakfast burritos, and cold drinks for under $10. With ten salad options and even a kids’ bowl, the menu was built around affordability and speed. Breakfast burritos still run until 10:30 a.m. on weekdays and 11 a.m. on weekends, keeping the early crowd in the mix.
What made it stand out in 2021 was the convenience. Drive-thru, app ordering, and quick delivery gave Plano a healthy option that felt just as accessible as fast food. That promise is still the hook, even with more competition in the area today.

Customer Reviews Since Opening
Over four years later, the Coit Road location holds a 4.4 Google rating from more than 500 reviews. Customers still praise the filling portions, low prices, and fresh ingredients. Many call it their “go-to lunch” for value that’s tough to beat.
But not all feedback has stayed positive. Some reviews describe inconsistent orders, with missing ingredients or wrong items at pickup. Others mention dressings being too acidic, with a few noting strange aftertastes. On Reddit, locals debate whether the chain’s rapid expansion has diluted quality. Still, despite these issues, plenty of loyal customers return daily, valuing price and convenience above all else.
The Brand’s Future in Texas
Salad and Go has been making headlines for less flattering reasons in 2025. The company recently announced the closure of 41 locations across Texas and Oklahoma, raising concerns about whether the Plano site could eventually be affected. On top of that, allegations about undercooked chicken and supplier problems have put pressure on the brand to reassure customers about food safety.
For now, the Coit Road location remains open and active, with steady reviews and a strong local following. The big question is whether Salad and Go can keep that loyalty intact while navigating closures and reputational challenges. SprawlTag will continue to revisit this spot to see if Plano’s first Salad and Go keeps living up to its original promise.
