gusto! - healthy bowls & wraps

In Downtown Atlanta, I stumbled upon a culinary gem offering a delightful fusion of balance and wellness for busy urbanites. Stepping into the inviting ambiance of the restaurant, I was greeted by the alluring scent of wholesome cuisine, a preview of the culinary delights that awaited. Choosing the vegan-friendly "Ginger Lime Peanut" bowl, I embarked on a culinary adventure like no other. Each mouthful of brown rice, crisp greens, and creamy avocado was a symphony of flavors and textures. A splash of Texas Pete hot sauce added a satisfying zing, taking the dish to new culinary heights. While the meal left me content, I contemplated the delicate balance between portion size and value. Despite the impeccable flavors, the prices leaned slightly towards the higher end for the medium-sized serving provided. Nevertheless, the restaurant radiated cleanliness and efficiency, a testament to the dedication of its staff. As I savored my meal by the window, bathed in the warm glow of natural light, I marveled at the diverse array of diners around me. From lively groups of twenty-somethings to engaged college students, from families sharing moments of closeness to nurturing young mothers attending to their children, as well as busy office workers seeking a moment of respite. Each individual a unique presence adding depth to the communal dining experience. In that fleeting moment, I realized that this restaurant transcended mere sustenance; it was a sanctuary where people of all backgrounds converged, united by food options less processed. As I bid adieu to the bustling dining area, I share with you the memory of a quick meal.

The service was extremely friendly and helpful. I ordered the Thai garlic ginger tofu which was nice on its own, happy that there are vegan options. I also ordered the extra avocado on top; however, it was not worth the extra money. The avocado was inedible and hard as a rock. Otherwise the food was ok. I also liked the mango.

I was expecting something like Chipotle, but this place is definitely different...more niche. It took me a minute to figure out how the ordering process went, and I settled for a flatbread because I walked in thinking they would have wraps. The food is very fresh, but for the price, it didnt fill me up. I would recommend preparing yourself with the menu and ordering process to make things smoother for you. Great people watching spot if you sit at the window looking at Woodruff Park.

Just ordered the Lemon Pepper Ranch bowl to-go and it was amazing. The bowl was full to capacity, as always, and it was hot and fresh. Not to mention it was ready before the time stated, which is great for my quick lunchbreak period. But the highlight of today was Veronica working the Pick-Up section today. She was so nice and welcoming and went out of her way to make sure I was a happy customer. I wish more people have that personality in the customer service industry. Will definitely return not only for the food but for the very nice people like Veronica!! If you're reading this by chance, HEY!!! You really made my day! Thank you!

Service was subpar. Stood at their Kiosk for awhile trying to order just to find out it wasn’t working. No sign, no one at the counter said anything. Ended up having to wait in a line that was non-existent before I arrived, to finally order my food. Food took a long time but it was fresh so no complaints there. The space was nice and clean and had plenty of seating.

This is the first time I have tried gusto! And I ordered through UberEats. I ordered the Tahini Cumuber feta on mixed greens with added grilled chicken and avocado. Delicious! Happy to find a "fast food" with yummy healthy options

Found hair in my food during BOTH visits. Found one inside the rice bowl and another inside the sauce container. The food is also very bland and the rice is hard/stale. Feels like I’m chewing plastic. During my first visit I asked where the pickup area is and the cashier just pointed to the corner. He gave me blank stare and was rude. It was an uncomfortable and a weird encounter. Don’t understand the hype tbh and not impressed. Disappointed and disgusted !!!! 🤢🤢🤢

We are in town for a concert and just ordered from Gusto Downtown Atlanta. Out of the 3 bowls one of them was not correct. The order slip matched what we ordered online but the order was not right. We called several times but they never answered they just kept us on hold. 1st time trying this restaurant not sure I'll try it again due to the bad customer service.

This lunch spot offers a reliable choice with well-proportioned and tasty meals. Their bowls are quite filling and the food quality is consistently high. The ambiance is generally bustling, yet accommodating.A minor critique is the space can feel a bit cramped and the additional cost for protein may add up. Nonetheless, the restaurant provides a quick, vegan-friendly option near GSU, and their responsive customer service adds to a positive experience.

Gusto! is a build-your-own bowl, fast-casual place that's doing it right. Like so many build-your-own places, you start with a base (mixed greens, rice, half-and-half, or wrap), choose a protein (chicken - either regular or spicy, shrimp, or tofu), then decide on a gusto (type of bowl - chipotle mango avocado, ginger lime peanut, chile sesame bbq, tahini cucumber feta, sweet soy sriracha, or tzatziki lemon artichoke). I opted for the chile sesame bbq (half greens half rice, with tofu) at the recommendation of the cashier, and it was delightful. The kimchi salad was just the right amount of spicy, and the tofu was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Each meal comes with a bag of sweet potato chips, which, I discovered, make a lovely crunchy topping. The pricing is on par with other build-your-own bowl places, and the taste and freshness are up to snuff. I'd definitely visit again to try some of their other flavor combos.

Food was ready pretty fast and surprisingly there was seating despite it being so busy. The biggest downsides for me is how small the store is and that the kids portion is TINY. I think any child over the age of 2 would think it isn't enough food. Also not a fan about how adding protein is extra money. I paid $7 for brown rice and avocado. I deal with it because it's one of the few quick Vegan options by GSU Update: I emailed the gusto team and was fairly compensated for my experience. I appreciate their customer service!

Great and quick service, relaxed atmosphere and the bowls were DELICIOUS. I got the mango avocado gusto which is their most popular, and my girlfriend got the lemon pepper ranch bowl and they were both 10/10. They were also reasonably priced, and perfectly filling, relatively healthy! We will definitely be back every time we visit Atlanta!

This is my go-to lunch spot. The macros are pretty good and the portion sizes are amazing. I get full off of their bowls and it tastes amazing. Never disappoints!
