Don't know if you can call it a "salad bar" but the best I have ever had in my life was the salad bar at Texas De Brazil in Dallas. It and the rest of the food was off the chart. I looked and I know there in one in Baton Rouge. I'm sure there should be one in the N.O. area. I wasn't "right" for two or three days after I ate there. Boy it was great!
sorry i should have stated a nice sit down place, that has a very nice bar. One so nice that you can eat just the salad
For main meal not base on cost. But diet wise.
Some place that is not just greens and cans
Looks like Texas De Brazil may be worth the trip?
