I had heard of sweetgreen before, so I was excited when I saw on Instagram that they were opening in uptown. I happened to be in Charlotte in the late evening & used their amazing app (it really is a GREAT app!) to make my order. I got the garlic steak chopped romaine salad (added some cucumbers & spicy broccoli) & a side of roasted sweet potatoes & maple glazed brussel sprouts (with hot honey sauce).
The order was filled quickly & the app let me know my order was ready to pick up. Sadly, there was nowhere to park to grab & go (thanks, uptown :D ), so I had to spin the block a few times & found street parking two blocks away. :D
The spot is bright & welcoming with an open kitchen & a good bit of seating. It's very modern-looking but also has a simple layout. I love that they had the pick-up "cubbies", so you can pick up your order & go, without having to bother anyone. And let's talk about looks - the bags are sturdy, with good marketing/branding.
I was so excited to eat, I started with the potatoes & sprouts in the car. SO good. I wished they were a bit warmer, but I can't blame sweetgreen, since it took me a bit to get to them. They were delicious though! And the hot honey sauce - give me a whole container! So good!
Don't judge, but I may have devoured my salad on the way home. The eco-friendly container was huge - another plus for sweetgreen! You get A LOT of food in that bow! - so it was easy for me to chomp away & safely drive. Everything was delicious. Fresh ingredients & the steak was amazing.
I can't wait to get back!
