Great Place for a quick salad! My husband and I have been meeting here to grab our lunch to go for several months. It's cheap, easy, fast and fresh. Basically you walk in and either pick up a to go container or plate with a tray and start picking out what you want. They have romaine lettuce freshly cut and separated into light and dark greens. You can then get some pasta salad, potatoes salad or chopped tuna or chicken. If you arrive after 11:30 the sushi California rolls will be ready and you can grab some of those. There are a tons of veggies at the veggie portion and the are pretty consistent with daily stock. They also have sliced ham or turkey to add. You have a choice between six different salad dressings and you can finish with nuts & raisins. At the very end by the registered there is some tasty Korean noodles (must try, trust me) and daily soup. Everything is weighed so if you load a lot of heavy food you will pay more than if you keep it light. They also have a variety of refreshments you can grab. Keep in mind this is more of a grab and go place not a fine dining experience. It's great for all those people who only have a 30 min lunch and need something fast and fresh!

Very friendly, very fresh and clean food! My friends and I have eaten here numerous times a week for the last 10 years.

Secret Garden is a quaint, family owned business that CANNOT be beat. Fresh, friendly, and clean. I moved from Tampa several years ago and when I’m back in town, I MUST stop in for a takeout box. Also, try the crab salad. It’s the best I’ve ever eaten!!!!!

They take careof the customer! Food is always super fresh and clean. This place should be anything but a secret… it should stand out even more with the healthy vibe. Simple and affordable.

Out of the way, small, but effecient lunch spot for the downtown crowd. Beautiful, complete, and clean salad bar, including a selection of sushi. This is a pay by weight place, cash only. It is a very inexpensive, yet high quality. Other reviewers have said there is a lack of meat/protein, but I have not found that to be the case; there is chicken salad, tuna salad, ham, cheeses, and various other proteins. The staff is very friendly and accommodating.

I read other reviews before I checked this place out so I was prepared when I arrived. I grabbed a to go container and put together a decent sized salad with lettuce, crab salad, veggies, and those amazing Asian noodles. I paid around $6 and it was plenty to keep me full until dinner time. The food was very fresh and the people there were nice. I'll be returning for more quick fresh lunch salads.

They always have a large, nice variety of very fresh salad fixings. The even have some sushi. The best part is the friendly cashier who always greets you and makes you feel at home. I always have a nice meal at Secret Garden!

Check in was a breeze and the casino and rooms were clean. Staff is friendly and inviting. Slight cigarette smell, but that is Florida. Great location centered pretty much dead center of the strip. The price of the room is on the lower side, but so far that just means it’s a great deal!

So glad I found this little lunch spot! Fresh and CLEAN salad bar with soup and protein selections too. Can’t wait to come back!

their salads are beyond THE BEST in tampa!! it’s made with love and my coworkers and i absolutely love coming here for lunch 💕

Huge, fresh salad bar, you pay by the weight. It can add up quick! Also noodles, soups, sandwiches, sushi rolls. Same staff for years. Pre-covid, it was dine-in or take-out. '22 review.

So dang good! Everything is always so fresh and the place is always clean. The owners are kind and very engaging. Prices are more than fair and the food is DELICIOUS! Love walking here for lunch!

Really nice classic salad bar. Chicken salad was on the sweeter side. Would love to see a spinach or arugula salad mix, and a healthier ranch dressing if possible (maybe thinned out greek yogurt base with the hidden valley spice mix?). Overall pleasant first time experience though

I'm here at least twice a week. It's the best healthy low cost option downtown for lunch and most customers are people that work in the area. If you pack your plate full of fruit it's going to be more expensive but I get a decent sized salad with a few California rolls and I spend about $6.

Great food and good family business. I have known these people for almost 10 years. This place is always busy! The salad is paid per lb, which is a very reasonable price. The sushi is made fresh everyday and the Chinese noodle dish is the only reason that I go there.

Either eating in or getting our order to go, Secret Garden is a staple of our work lunch jaunts. My boyfriend is a super salad kind of guy so from the fact that he could literally go here every single day for the salad bar is a pretty good barometer for how fresh and good the food is. The food is good the people are great, it's just an all around win.

This place is AWESOME! I love how the owners personally know me and genuinely enjoy seeing me! They have the freshest salad bar around and I often drive from far to enjoy it. This place is a secret hidden jewel!
