This Columbus restaurant has closed, but another plans to open in the same spot

Build Yo Salad, 3150 Macon Road in Columbus, has permanently closed.

Customers expressed Facebook their surprise and disappointment.

Candice Robin D. Davis asked, “Wait! Build Yo Salad is closed, for real?!? I had points tho & when did this happen?!”

Jaketra Bryant responded, “I passed it the other day. I thought it was renovations. Dang.”

Ej Thomas wrote, “Man wth. That place helped me so much, and I had about 2 meals’ worth of points.”

Owners of Build Yo Salad did not respond to the Ledger-Enquirer’s request for comment before publication.

A new restaurant, Kickin’ Bites, is expected to open in the same location at Midtown Shopping Center. A sign announcing that news was posted to the front door of the former Build Yo Salad. An opening date wasn’t mentioned.

Kickin’ Bites specializes in burgers, hot wings and fries, according to their website. The owner of Kickin’ Bites did not respond to the Ledger-Enquirer’s request for comment before publication.

Build Yo Salad opened in 2023. Customers online have praised the restaurant for its broad selection and high-quality food.

Desiree Miller posted a raving review on the Columbus, GA Foodies Facebook group: “Best full salad selection in town!!!! You can add any meat you choose. I always get the salmon. I eat here 3 times a week and I’m full the entire day.”

Callie Boballie, posted this review: “Hear me out… Build Yo Salad is a good deal and delicious; if it’s not, it’s because you didn’t pick good things. I also got a wrap. I ate half the wrap and half the salad and was so full! The staff was friendly and helpful too, since I’m dumb and ask a zillion questions.”
