"Health-conscious cafe Start just closed both Dallas locations indefinitely due to COVID-19 pressures, according to founder Erin McKool. “Even with this week’s pivot to full-time drive-through and delivery, sales were not enough to offset costs,” she says. Paychecks through Thursday’s shift were distributed to employees. Should the chain reopen in a few months after the dust settles, they’ll have the option to get their jobs back. The brand, situated on Greenville and Lemmon avenues, was known for its flourless chocolate cake made with quinoa and no-fryer mantra." - Tierney Plumb

Plus they have a drive-thru!! So whether you’d like to meet up with friends for a bite or your on-the-go this is foodie spot to go!

I've tried to give this place a chance since they cater to gluten free and other diet needs. I could deal with the prices being high, but the portions on some items and the service is just not fast. For example, the small juice, what a joke. Today was the last time I will even bother. No one else was in the drive thru. However, I had to wait 20 min for a sandwich and tots. While I pulled up to the side, 5 other customers received their orders. When I finally received my order I was told there was a free gluten free muffin inside. This is the "muffin". Never again.

Great quality, relatively healthy menu. Pricing is what you would expect from a more healthy eatery. If you dine in, you'll be greeted with cute "hip" decor. Also, the music in this place is outstanding. Kudos to whoever picks the playlist! Only downside is that the drive thru can be a bit slow at times. I go here pretty much every day, so I guess you can call it an addiction, or maybe I need to start cooking!

I’ve had the iced vanilla latte & the turkey bacon sandwich. Everything exceeded my expectations. The latte wasn’t too stron & the TBLT was fresh. Second time here & still great service & food.

Food is amazing, it tastes really good and fresh. Their ice tea is also very fresh tasting. Great place for lunch and to bring your kids.

When I can't decide on lunch on workdays and I don't want to eat something super heavy this place is my go-to. The food is good, the employees are generally very friendly and helpful, and the dining area is always quite clean. My biggest complaint is that the food is kind of overpriced for the portions you get. One of my personal favorites is the chicken and veggies quesadilla with the cilantro cream sauce. I was also surprised to find that they actually have decent espresso drinks if you need a morning or midday pick-me-up.

This was my first of what will be many experiences with Start. What a simple yet diverse menu! I bought several different items so my friend and I could nosh and find favorite things. Everything was really fresh, simply seasoned and pleasing to the palate. My favorites were the chicken salad sandwich and the quinoa bowl. The staff was very friendly and their service was most excellent. They even deconstructed the smoked salmon sandwich and individually wrapped everything so that I could make a smoked salmon board from the ingredients when I got home. It was HEAVENLY and it looked as though I had spent a great deal of time on it!!! Most fast food is instant death in a paper bag. Start dares to be different and it shows in the delicious, healthy fare they prepare quickly, at a reasonable price. Give them a try!

Start Restaurant was delicious. I ordered both a Chocolate, Banana shake AND a Breakfast Slider. I fully recommend them both. The coffee was not ready when I arrived, but when it was prepared it was delightful. The Breakfast Slider was tasty and prepped to perfection, though the portion was smaller. (I like smaller portions, so it didn't bother me at all!) Their sweet potato fries are also delightful.
