Savory Salads: Closed Salad Shack

Barrington's family-run salad shack folded, leaving behind made-from-scratch promises and soybean oil warnings.

July 25, 2026 About Savory Salads

Barrington salad void confirmed — closed June 2026.

The Take

Savory Salads earns a 52 Slop Score. The Barrington location is permanently closed, so the only real order is none.

Local family ownership and scratch salads sound nice on paper, but default dressings lean soybean oil and the doors shut in June 2026.

The Verdict

Nothing left to order at the original Savory Salads. The based move is the Arlington Heights location at 2932 W Euclid Ave with a house salad plus protein and olive oil if offered.

Avoid pre-made dressings, wraps, or anything fried. Slop Score: 52.
