Salad House Opens New Location In Toms River

TOMS RIVER, NJ - A salad-centered restaurant with a dozen locations in New Jersey has opened its newest location in the Silverton section of Toms River.

The Salad House, located at 1884 Hooper Ave. (the site of a newly-built shopping center with Pizza Hut and AT&T) opened on May 5, according to the outpost’s Facebook page.

The popular grab-and-go health food chain offers vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free build-your-own salads, grain bowls, salads, fries and more. Kid-friendly eats such as chicken fingers and quesadillas (for the youngest of the family and the child-at-heart alike) are also offered. You can see the full menu here.

The brains behind the New Jersey-based chain is founder Joey Cioffi of Springfield, who cut his teeth in the industry by washing dishes and filling catering orders at his family deli growing up, according to the Salad House website.

“Having the same passion for quality service as his father, Joey ultimately created The Salad House concept with one single purpose: to provide a fresh fast-casual experience that was both healthy and family friendly,” the website reads.

The first Salad House location opened in Millburn in 2011, followed by a Morristown outpost in 2013, “fulfilling his own American Dream just as his father did generations ago when immigrated from Italy with just $20 in his pocket.”

Store hours are Monday through Friday 10:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.; Saturday from 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Salad House will be closed May 14 for Mother’s Day.
