On the Grid : Sweetgreen

"Eating Sweetgreen’s mostly-organic fare makes you feel like you’re nourishing the heck out of yourself. That’s a great way to feel, even when it costs 10 smackers. They’ve got something to suit everyone, from vegans to carnivores, so unless you don’t eat vegetables you’re set. Rather than wait in a line that often snakes out the door around lunchtime, order online before 10am and your salad, bowl or soup will be waiting for you. Sensitive flowers beware, most of Sweetgreen’s dressings will leave you feeling garlicky. If you’ve got an afternoon meeting, opt for the balsamic vinaigrette or olive oil with a squeeze of lemon." - Branding Iron @ Stantec

Sweetgreen is one of my top places for a great salad. I always get the Kale Caesar, and it never disappoints. The service is fast, and the staff is consistently friendly. Definitely recommend for a quick, healthy meal.

I’ve previously been to the seaport location, so I thought to give this place a try as well. Tight seating, but the interior was clean. Ordered the Ranchy chicken+rice kids meal since I wasn’t feeling too hungry. Unfortunately the rice was inedible because it was almost raw. Tiny pebbles in my mouth. Either a bad batch or inexperienced staff. The chicken was also a tad dry, but my girlfriend’s green goddess salad wasn’t too bad.

Kale Caesar salad from this place is my favorite health food at around 450 calories. The staffs are very polite and friendly and there’s not much wait time. The only caveat is the store does not have a water machine. Addition of water to the store would be really great. I love sitting on the chair outside the store and do people watching at Copley Sq. The store is conveniently located right off Copley Square green line MBTA. The prices are reasonable. The portions are filling. Update: today I tried guacamole 🥑 greens with green goddess dressing and I really liked it. Highly recommend it.

Sweetgreen is always reliable for a fast and healthy lunch. They have bowls and salads to choose from, but you can also build your own. Ton of options for vegans and vegetarians. Outdoor and indoor seating. Space is a little tight and it was very busy during lunch time, but the staff were very fast and friendly.

The workers the had the name “Brianna” tattooed on her arm is EXTREMELY rude. Just doing her job seemed to be a hassle for her. The entire time she was taking my order it seemed like I was bothering her to ask her to do her damn job. And the cashier Juan wasn’t any better because he enables the behavior she puts out on customers. I shouldn’t feel rushed to order my food.

The salads are really good, the service is pretty fast and the price is average. They have some prebuilt salads, that you can order and just forget about it. There's an option to build your custom salad, where you can choose the base, the toppings and ingredients. There are usually long lines in peak hours, but they move quite fast. Also they have some seatings indoor and outside.

I order 2-3x month from this location. This is the second time they forgot to put chicken in my bbq chicken salad 😓 I wish this place had better order accuracy for takeout orders.

Today I went there for the first time. I ordered a bowl and a salad and both of them included hair strand (long and curvy) which is nauseous :( I wasted them, never will go again SG.

Food great. Counter staff extremely rude. The literally threw my food onto the bowl only giving partial servings of meat. Not sure what the rush was it's was Sunday and no line.

Came here after picking up my packet from the convention center. I was looking for something healthy. It's a really small location with limited seating so I decided to order take out. The ambiance had a clean organized feel. They had enough gluten free options. I decided to give it a try. Items with a "g" beside them were gluten free. I got the hot honey chicken for $15.95 roasted chicken , sweet roasted potatoes, veg slaw and quinoa. I didn't really like the chicken because it tasted dry but the rest of the meal was really tasty. The service was ok.

Sweet green is way too expensive to give such small portions. This is the second time I've ordered from them and they give me a tiny portion of food for $22

Looking for something healthy? Here you go! Lots of salads and protein options here. The only problem is the very little seating available.

It was good but not a culinary destination. I'd been traveling for a few weeks, having a lot of heavy foods. So, it was refreshing to have something healthy. I thought everything was pretty well done. The chicken was tender, moist and flavorful, same with the salmon. The produce was likewise fairly fresh (not wilted). And lots of superfoods. I don't realize all the superfoods like quinoa, salmon, avocado, and sweet potatoes. You'll live forever if you regularly eat here.

Sweet greens is a pretty solid option for a healthy and fulfilling meal. I am a big fan of the shroomami bowl. I also love that you can personalize it, which makes it fantastic for people with dietary restrictions. Their protein portions are also generous, which is always a plus. The only downside is that options are somewhat limited so it can get monotonous after a while.

This was my first time at a sweetgreen. My fiancé is over the moon about this chain and so we gave it a try. This location was extremely unprofessional. There was no communication - we were told we couldn't add certain things and when we asked if we could just go ahead and add them even if it costs more, the girl started laughing at us. She did not explain anything and rolled her eyes multiple times when I asked what a topping was. Made me feel very uncomfortable and that she did not want us to be in there. The other employees were also not helpful and when my fiancé asked for the complimentary bread she again blatantly laughed and rolled her eyes and through the bread in the bowl. Unfortunate first experience. Food was okay but not much flavor. Good portions.

We were doing our walking tour of Boston, this happened to be our third choice. We went to two other places but the wait times were long. The wife chose Sweetgreen. We quickly got meals for the three of us. I got a Harvest Bowl for $14. I had kale, wild rice, chicken, sweet potatoes and more! It tasted pretty good. Not much to say about the service - order, pay, wait....Credit card terminal has the usual ask for tip...

In town for the weekend and stopped by at the recommendation of a friend. Ordered online and found the site easy to use. Food was ready at pick up time and order was correct ( I had made A substitution online) . Ordered the kale Cesar and the harvest bowl. Both were excellent. Restaurant wasn't crowded as we were picking up for an early dinner but store was clean and welcoming. Will definitely be back!

Agastya T.

Yelp
First off is the service. It was horrible it felt like none of the employees could speak English, no wonder literally nobody wanted to dine in. The food was probably the worst I ordered a lemonade and it was made with honey and tasting like shit. The salmon bowl I ordered was ninety five percent avocado and rice instead of pickled onions and the actually name of the bowl. The ambiance was terrible they did not even have any booths and the tables were shaking if we let a breath get to it. Overall if I have a choice I am never going there again.

I love this place! This place reminds me of the Chop Shop in their approach to making salads and warm bowls. This is the first restaurant that I have eaten at while in Boston. I ordered a Garden Cobb salad, and it was one of the freshest salads that I have ever eaten. The staff was highly engaging, friendly, and courteous. Overall, I recommend this place to anyone looking for healthy options and good food!

Delivery service via Uber. Hair in all 3 dishes of food. Called Uber to complain and they credited for one dish only although all three had hair in them. Called credit card company who credited the entire amount. Afterwards, Uber would not allow a ride unless we paid them again for the food and ride. So very disappointed and upset that sweet green has terrible food and there's no way to complain about it as sweetgreen has no Customer Service phone number. Needless to say, I won't be returning to sweetgreen ever again.

Bianca G.

Yelp
I've heard great things but was so disappointed. What you receive is NOTHING as advertised. Onions are not pickled, they were still raw tasting. When I opened my bowl I thought they had given me the wrong bowl, and from my photo you can see why I thought it wasn't my bowl. My husband ordered while I grabbed a table - there's very few seating options, which I why I didn't get to see them throw this mess together. They didn't include tortilla chips and when we asked for them we got the tinniest little container of broken tortillas chips, like what you'd find at the bottom of a bag.

Updating my review: I find Sweetgreen has improved continuously over the years by adding more options and finding more ways to be green (using less water, using compoastable everything). still find it ridiculous that half an avocado is $2, especially when the person making the salad usually scoops out half of that half and throws the rest away. The scoops for the chicken are super small. Like maybe teo tablespoons worth, so you really do need two scoops if you want a normal amount of meat. That'll cost more ofc. The seating for this location is decent and it's usually pretty clean. I'd recommend this more for a grab-n-go than sit down.

This is a great place to pick up a bowl or salad. There are tons of choices and I love how environmentally conscious they are. I couldn't decide between dressing so the guy gave me all three in the side to taste. I saw complaints about price, but their prices ices are pretty average comparatively. We spend more than that getting a wilted salad and luke warm soup at Panera. Definitely going back.

Dear managers, how hard is it to train your employees to read an order and make sure items are correct? Every time I've gotten a pick up order, there's something missing. I can't trust you guys anymore.

Yummy. Lots of options. But get your dressing on the side. Way too much! Nice healthy option tho

Line moved quickly.I came right before the weekday lunch rush. Comfortable seating for indoor and outdoor. I ordered the Kale Cesar salad which was delicious. I liked the fact they toss the dressing into your salad at the end. I was able to have roasted chicken or thé parmesan chips throughout the entire salad. I would've enjoyed more grape tomatoes with my salad asI ran out of those before I finished the whole salad.

Delicious bowls, definitely worth the money. I usually get the harvest and customize it. Make sure you get the goat cheese in whatever you get!

Wow this place really lives up the hype. Everything on the menu sounded delicious. We got there around noon on a Saturday. The line was long but it went by very quickly. I ordered the harvest bowl with a side of bread. It was all so yummy and I never wanted my food to end! The workers were friendly and efficient at getting everyone through the line. A downside was that the restaurant was small and didn't have a lot of space to eat. We were able to take our food around the block and eat in a park area. Around ~$12 for a sale and $1 extra for bread. Very reasonable. Loved this place and would return again to try so many other things!

No plastic fork. I clicked on the add utensils box, they still didn't put a plastic fork in the bag.

A great healthy spot with plenty of options for all diets. My order: kale Caesar and a special Fresca drink. Pros: delicious salad and the squeeze of lime sets it apart from other salads. The price was right for the food, and is very well located. Everything is compostable though, which is great for the planet Cons: the frescas were not good. They were about $3, and just had weak flavour. Definitely not worth the money for the drink. Another con is that the lids on the salad bowls are concave, so you don't actually get the full bowl of salad- see photo. Another con is that the lady who tossed the salad was very messy so a few bites worth of salad ended up on the mixing table and didn't make it to the bowl.

i truly have mixed reviews over sweetgreen because their bowls are either filled to the brim or filled just over halfway! while their ingredients usually do taste fresh, i'm just not the biggest fan of their small portion sizes since the prices are quite high too. 5/12/22 -naomi osaka bowl: this bowl was available during the late spring and i was really looking forward to trying it at the time! it has a kale base, wild rice, roasted chicken, cucumbers, raw beets, roasted sweet potatoes, basil, sunflower seeds, and a side of miso sesame ginger dressing. i definitely feel like this would tasted better if the dressing were mixed in so that everything would've been evenly coated with dressing. the roasted chicken was pretty dry, but since the pieces were so small you couldn't really notice. while i didn't have a problem with the quality nor freshness of the other ingredients, the portions were just unreasonably small for $16. there wasn't nearly enough chicken in the bowl, which was already half-filled up with kale. (3/5)

My coworkers love sweet green so I decided to try it out! I am not a salad person but I do like grain bowls so I ordered the elote bowl. The salad came with lots of fresh ingredients and heirloom tomatoes. The tomatoes were delicious and the overall mix of the corn/quinoa & lime jalapeno dressing was very tasty. The one downside was that the salad didn't come with any protein. I checked out the menu and most of the standard salads do come with meat for under $12. I added chicken to mine and the total came to about $15.50 (with tax) which is a bit high for a quick lunch. Also, the amount of chicken I got was extremely small. It almost didn't matter that I added it in because it was like looking for waldo in the salad. Where is the chicken? I would eat here again but will stick to the salads that already come with protein. Also, service was terrible. The people working there seemed very unhappy.

I frequent sweetgreen about once a month. I purchased from either the Lynnfield location or the Peabody location. I order a custom salad so that I can choose the ingredients that I eat. I wish that they would actually include more lettuce in the salad. I usually add extra that I have in my refrigerator. I feel that the price is competitively priced for a salad with chicken and sweet potatoes in it. I recommend sweetgreen.

Wendy B.

Yelp
This location had the worst service I've ever experienced at a Sweetgreen. The young woman who worked there and made out orders had a HORRIBLE attitude. She was upset that 2 women came in for an order that wasn't made and they had no record of it. She preceded to reprimand her co-worker and act absolutely rude! She didn't change her gloves after using the register and used those gloves to pick up lettuce and throw it into the bowl. An overall subpar location! I have read other reviews that also point out the poor service. The canned review response by management and continued issues shows it is not being addressed. Bring in better management! LeD by example!!! This is ridiculous.

Really healthy and amazing food, they really make healthy food delicious! They have very nice staff, although it does get a little bit hectic because it's so popular. Especially the one on Newbury street. You can make your own salad just how you like it, or choose a salad or bowl for them to make for you for example the green goddess, fish taco bowl, etc. They don't have any sugary unhealthy sodas, only healthy drinks. I got the jasmine green tea drink with my salad and it was good!

You would not even believe the salad. I just picked up from this place. It's literally a bowl of spinach and some chicken on top. When I got there, they said that there was no rice, but that there would be some in 10 minutes. I told them I would go for a walk and come back for it. They said to come back in 10 minutes. I came back in 17 and it still wasn't ready. They gave me my order and when I got back to my office, it didn't even have the rice that I waited 17 minutes for. It was also missing the cilantro, the goat cheese, and the piece of bread I got for an extra dollar was a small, crusty piece of bread. This is the second time this is happened and I am just so done with this place.

Wow I tried sweetgreen for the first time yesterday and I'm obsessed with it. I eat a salad for breakfast every morning and these are the best tasting ones yet - incomparably fresh, customizable, and they come in heaping portions! Even the one star reviews admit the salads themselves are excellent and that says a lot! The staff here are also super nice no matter how busy it gets and the store is new, clean, and spacious both indoors and out. Tip: order online or via the app to avoid a loooong wait.

Decided to try sweetgreen when I was looking for a healthy/quick option nearby. It was poppin' for a Sunday afternoon at around 4:30. I ordered the Mexican Corn Elote bowl (warm quinoa, organic arugula, roasted corn + peppers, tomatoes, shredded cabbage, local goat cheese, spicy sunflower seeds, lime cilantro jalapeño vinaigrette). I had chicken added because I didn't think I would be full without the protein, but I was actually struggling to finish by the end. I really enjoyed this bowl and I normally don't even like quinoa. The only thing I would switch out is the goat cheese, because I'm not a huge fan in general, but even this wasn't bad. It was fresh and creamy. In fact, I feel like all of their ingredients tasted pretty fresh. Plus I loved the lime cilantro jalapeño vinaigrette. It was light, yet packed a huge flavor. Now that I've discovered sweetgreen, and found out that they have various locations throughout NYC, I'll definitely be frequenting this place more. P.S. Try their aqua fresca - particularly the blueberry basil. It sounds strange but it's nice and refreshing!

What complete ineptitude and total lack of customer service! We ordered 2 bowls, and they screwed both of them up. There was NO fish in the FISH taco BOWL, and NO avocado in the AVOCADO chickpea bowl. No, this can't be attributed to short staffing due to Covid, because when I picked up the order, there were 2 people working, ZERO customers in the store, and only a couple of other orders waiting for pickup. What's worse is that after getting home with the order and discovering the missing KEY ingredients in BOTH items, I tried to call the store and only got an automated system with absolutely no way to speak to a human being. And what's even WORSE than that is that this automated system told me to to press 9 to text with someone from customer service, which I obediently did. After receiving an automated text message from their system a few seconds later asking me to describe the problem, I replied immediately. That was 30 minutes ago, and I have heard NOTHING back. That's not customer service, that's "we don't give a rat's *#$ about our customers."

Healthy salad based fast food. Not much to say except much lunch was tasty and filling. It would be better if they threw in more ingredients like beets. Anyways, I enjoyed the meal. Everything's around $10

This is absolutely a joke, if you want to eat a salad with your fingers this is the place to go, I ordered food from here with the bowls not even closed shut and with no utensils nor napkins. I could've easily made myself a salad then pay $40+ for this half ass salad.

I've never been disappointed by Sweetgreen though they have opened so many locations by now. So fresh and delicious each time! All customized by you, ingredients, toppings, amount of dressing, etc etc. They always have seasonal bowls too which uses ingredients that are in season. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

I've ordered food here several times, and the salads themselves get a 5/5! They are wonderful, healthy, and they don't skimp on the toppings. The reason I'm giving this place a 2/5 stars is because my friends and I ordered 5 salads online around 9:00 pm (their closing hours during COVID at the time was 10 pm). They ended up cancelling our online order without a reason, so we decided to walk over to the restaurant to buy our food. We got there about 25 minutes before closing time and the people working said they were closed, without any explanation at all! I was extremely disappointed because we ordered our food online an hour before their closing time and they obviously seemed to have closed early just because!

Sweetgreen sucks now. They don't fill the container with greens like they used to. The online ordering is a disaster with wildly inaccurate estimates. They also took my favorite salad off menu (Tahini Goddess Greens w/ Falafel). It would be one thing if they raised prizes, but instead they have just degraded the product and services.

This place was amazing back in 2017 but after COVID-19 year I think they start ignoring their quality and service at most location is getting change to the worst. I love their selection and how creative they are in coming up with seasonal recipes and the dressing they have.

We came here after a workout at SLT and it was the perfect post-workout meal. I grabbed the David Chang special which was the Tingly Sweet Potato + Kelp Bowl. I thought this would be the day I'd finally finish one serving in one sitting given I was starved from the workout it was not the case. These meals are so good but they are so filling that I usually end up saving a bit for a second meal. I had about the last 1/6 of my salad a few hours later and it was the perfect mid-day snack. Pro tip is to use the SweetGreen app so that you can garner points and use loyalty points for benefits later on.

I payed $17 for a crispy rise bowl+drink which I think is extremely expensive. I used to get SG few days a week since that was the only option close to my work place but recently they have switched to this new bowls that are tiny but they charge for the same price which I think it's not worth it at all. There are much better and affordable options out there!
