sweetgreen

You have to watch these people like a hawk. I can't tell you how many times I have stupidly not paid attention while they put in every single ingredient and gotten home or back to my desk only to realize that there is chicken and not tofu in my salad (I always ask for tofu instead of chicken because I've been a vegetarian for 23 years). I shouldn't say countless times because I know exactly how many times. Seven. Seven times I've spent $15 or more on a salad only to have it inedible. I never have a problem at any of the other locations - but obviously the staff here is just completely apathetic. I've also been charged different prices almost every single time I've been in there for the same thing - they are supposed to remove the cost of chicken and substitute the price of tofu, but sometimes they do both or neither so it ends up being off by a dollar or two every time. Serves me right for spending this much on a salad!

Their salad is the best I have ever had. It’s brilliant how they combine their proteins with unique dressing. It’s like symphony of flavors that’s unforgettable. I’ll do it again anytime. The Clark St community is blessed to have them around. They should have one near us in Montrose and Pulaski 😊 Eating was a sweet experience. The food, place and service…..truly excellent Kudos!

Sweetgreen won me over right after I tried 1 salad of theirs. The portion is immense, you you feel perfectly satisfied. The ingredients taste fresh and they have great variety of toppings/proteins/ condiments for myself who is more of a plant-based eater, and my partner who enjoys steak. The service is always pleasant. You can see that the employees work as a team and I have never waited long to place an order or pick up.

I’m not sure why there are so many negative reviews outside of displeasure with chains in the neighborhood. I spend most of my $$ at local independent restaurants, BUT I come here a few times a month because the salads are good and ingredients are healthy. I order online and pick up in-store, and my order has been correct every time, and timely with only one exception due to everyone eating salads right after the new year 😂. The staff is always friendly. Thats why I keep coming back!

I don't know who your staff was at 3:25pm 8/17 but keep them around. I was really scared of what I'd receive through uber due to the reviews but it's because of that, that I should let you know my salad was fresh, the order was perfect, the bread was fresh and I really enjoyed my meal. Hopefully this is the real reflection of the store.

This was my first time visiting Sweetgreen and it was such a delightful experience! The staff was so knowledgeable and helpful even making sure my order didn’t include any of my allergens. I tried the chicken avocado ranch salad with spinach instead of the romaine and it was absolutely amazing. It is a little pricey for my budget so I won’t be able to visit as much as I’d like. That said, because of the portions and quality of the ingredients the cost is worth it.

Service was the best! This was my first time going to Sweetgreen and the lady was VERY patient with me when I tried to order for my father. He’s a little picky with what he puts in his salad but her patience made it a breeze when helping him. The place is nice and clean but it could be that we went shortly after they open. If you’re going to visit Millennium Park you must stop here for some healthy meal then this is a must go!

If someone says they don’t like salad because it tastes too healthy and/or is too boring, they should absolutely try sweetgreen. The salads are SO good that eating a burger or ballpark-style hot dog will seem unappetizing and pale in comparison. Each bite is just BURSTING with flavor. Moreover, I was extremely impressed with the friendliness, quickness, and care that went into the customer service I received as well as the food. The management team of this location should definitely pat themselves on the back for assembling such a clean, well-run, and friendly establishment. The cooks and the rest of the staff deserve praise too. I will absolutely revisit the location if I’m in the area. What an absolute gem of a place.

We did a pick up order as we've been wanting to try Sweetgreen. Easy to order from their page and food was ready quickly. Easy to go in and give your name and pick up your food. The inside was modern and simply decorated with friendly staff. The salads were tasty and filling.

The delivery person left our food out in the snow even though we buzzed them in, so food was cold. When I opened my order, it was completely missing the meat and the portions of everything else were weirdly small. There's no way to actually call the store, and the customer service line closed hours before the store closed. So I got stuck with half a cold dinner. :(

This was my first time picking up a meal at this location, and surprisingly, it was really yummy. My wife kept telling me about the garlic steak plate with a side of wild rice, roasted sweet potatoes, spicy broccoli & tomato with pesto dressing. So I ordered that and the hummus cruch salad with romaine, kale, bread crumbs, cabbage, tomato and cucumber, and chickpeas with hummus, basil and pesto dressing. They were both so yummy I would definitely go pick up something for lunch or dinner again in the future. The meals were prep fast, and the servers were kind and helpful with my question. Great ambiance.

Difficult process to order and the establishment is unable to process cash without a special employee to authorize "cash" and they are unable to break a bill so I could tip an employee. I remember why have avoided this location for so long.

We're sweet for Sweetgreen Salads The thing we love about Sweetgreen is that you can customize your salads and you can have for pickup/delivery/& dine in! We ordered ours for delivery and it came so quick! It was fresh when we opened it up and very delicious! It's so easy to eat your greens at Sweetgreen! When we want a lunch that's easy, yummy & unique we order from sweet greens! They have a whole variety of salads and other foods that are delicious to munch on!

Love the concept of a healthy 'fast-food' option that's easily accessible! After a workout class in the area, some friends and I wandered over to sweetgreen for dinner. I've been to other sweetgreen locations, but this is my first time visiting the one in Andersonville. The inside was sleek and bright, and we were happy to see the outdoor patio tables! The gal taking my order was such a sweetheart! Super welcoming, and even asked me if there were any modifications I wanted made before preparing my salad. I ordered the chicken teriyaki salad; my first time trying this one! Blackened chicken, seasonal roasted zucchini + squash, spicy broccoli, raw carrots, basil, shredded cabbage, baby spinach, warm wild rice, and sesame teriyaki dressing. Absolutely loved this salad! So much flavor, and I loved the crunchy broccoli and carrots. The salad was large enough to last me lunch the next day, too! Another cool aspect was the filtered water dispenser. I had my water bottle with me, so I was able to easily fill up with some fresh, cold h20!

Salmon plate was so disappointing. From the menue that is screened at the place it seems to me a nice portion that is made on the spot . It was a little piece that was cold and tastes as if was mass prepared for a big crowd ahead of time. It came with some dry rice and no greens . The plate was shallow and very boring .

The salmon came already flaked and was much less than the typical portion. I've gotten this order many times and this is atypical.

I used to live in this neighborhood, and now I'm visiting from out of town. I was sad to see Hamburger Mary's go, and I was prepared to hate this place based on the reviews and just nostalgia. But I had an excellent experience here and my salad was beyond delicious. Where I live now in the South, we don't have salad. I would give anything to have a place like this down there. There was a bit of a wait, but it was not that bad. There was only one girl making salads, and she was outstanding. She was so friendly and warm and seemed to really enjoy her job, which is rare. I got the green goddess salad and added a few items like avocado and egg. The whole thing was less than $13, and it was HUGE. Some of the reviews made it seem like I'd be getting a side salad, but that was certainly not the case. I was going to allow myself to eat all the unhealthy things while I was in town, but I look forward to going back and getting another salad this week.

Chains are expanding their presence in Andersonville and Sweet Green is a solid addition. Overall, it is a quick grab and go spot with extremely easy online ordering. Staff works quickly and there is convenient shelving for to-go orders. There is some seating available for customers who would like to dine-in. In general, my grievances with Sweet Green are in the lack of blue cheese dressing and minimal salad dressing provided with online ordering. This is not necessarily the franchise's fault. To be clear, one side of dressing is never enough for a whole salad. You need at least 2, and 3 would be generous. Overall, I will still order from Sweet Green when I have a craving for a salad because it's the most affordable option in the neighborhood. I enjoy the Caesar and Cobb salads.

It was my first time at Sweet Green today and I loved the ambiance and how spacious it is inside. I ordered a customized bowl for pick up and the employees are as sweet as the name! Super friendly and warm smiles. I customized the harvest bowl on the app and opted for the following: arugula, shaved parmesan, parmesan crisps, warm quinoa, roasted chicken, sweet potatoes, apples, almonds and two servings of their spicy cashew dressing; This is such a healthy and delicious bowl. Sweet Green needs to expand their locations because this is the type of spot we all need to live a healthy lifestyle, instead of being stuck on greasy fast food. I know I'll be coming back for more because this is the best salad I've ever had. The one female employee with short blonde hair and two male employees that served me today are awesome. I look for great customer service skills and good quality food. This is definitely my new spot! Salad is fireeeeeee!

What have they done with the portion sizes?! This is what my warm bowl looked like, I have yet to take a bite. Don't charge $17 for this and then give me two pieces of everything. It literally had 4 pieces of tofu and 3 pieces of mushroom. I will never eat here again. What a joke.

I love this location! I often place orders here and it's always so pleasant experience. There is parking on the residential street but you have to pay to park. So I placed an pick up order and my food was prepared and ready for pickup in about 15 minutes. I'm walking in the store was very clean and fully stocked with napkins and fork etc. I was greeted as soon as I walked in by multiple employees. It's very organized so I was able to find my salad. Upon leaving they always tell me to have a good day. Customer service is always on point!!

Sweetgreen is not usually my first choice for dining in, probably because I have mostly experienced the chaos of downtown lunch hour crowds, but the Andersonville location is so spacious and comfortable! My usual order is the Shroomami Bowl, and it has been extra delicious being able to enjoy it in the dining room when it was freshly mixed with just the right amount of light dressing. All of the employee who've helped us were amazing! One had really thoughtful recommendations and an infectious enthusiasm for the Elote Bowl. I'll definitely try it with his suggested vegan modifications. More recently, I was worried it was too late to closing but the employee could not have been nicer. I can't wait to return to this location for another healthy and filling meal.

I was so happy to see Sweet Green opened in the northern suburbs! This was one of my favorite salad/green bowl spots in southern Cali and it didn't disappoint. Sweet Green has delicious salads and warm bowls and offers a variety of greens, veggies, grains, nuts, legumes, cheese, protein and salad dressing options! They have an easy to use app and I ordered the custom bowl, selected all of my favorite veggies, added protein and my dressing of choice! My order was correct, ready on time and the ingredients were all tasty and fresh! Looking forward to my next salad or warm bowl creation!

Really good ass salad and the lady was incredibly nice. Expensive but the place is very nice and hey inflation. Wish they had more of these on the north side

There was something so positive about my interaction with a petite female associate. I could tell she was smiling through her mask as she made my harvest salad. My mistake was to not note her name but only thank her directly for her wonderful positive energy. I wish I lived closer to this business, but sadly there isn't one near where I actually live, in Edison Park. Each time I come visit my mom, I stop and grab a salad that we enjoy with some taste of Lebanon lentil soup. The organic vegetables are great and the assortment of non-basic salad toppings like roasted sweet potatoes and black lentils makes this the place to make a unique salad a meal.

I want to like this place, and I will try again. My first visit though, was meh. First, it's good to see this space clean and fresh, vs. cluttered and kitschy. The interior was nice, open, airy - welcoming! I like the Make Your Own concept, and was going to try that on this visit. However, the items available did not look fresh, and were somewhat wilted. More unusual salads would be good too, and what I had hoped to find. Sure, keep the Cobb, Caesar and Chicken, but get some other ones too - chunkier ones with more beans and such? I'll try this place again, 'cos I sincerely love the concept. And I love salads!!!

Got the Asparagus and roasted salsa bowl and it came with these congealed chunks of wild rice. Tried breaking it apart and eating it and it was crunchy. So gross.

This Sweetgreen newly opened up in Andersonville and it's my first time trying the chain. Overall.. pretty good! I particularly like the interior, it's bright, modern, fresh and it's very CLEAN. For super healthy food it's also pretty tasty. My only downside is that the portions of quinoa, chicken, etc that they give you with your bowl is pretty tiny. I'll definitely be back though, it's good, fast, and healthy.

I have ordered twice from this location on Uber Eats and both times there were ingredients missing from my order. The first time they didn't add any protein and the second time there was no salad base, I mean no greens at all just a huge stalk of cilantro, and no dressing either. Please figure out how to make the salads that people order, this isn't even about portions, they are missing key ingredients when preparing the food. Super disappointed.

Not a good experience. Clueless employees. Bad food. Communication is horrible. McDonald's is just down the street.

I do like their (overpriced) salads, but this enterprise needs to decide if it even wants people to stop in and order. I spent 15 minutes "in line" with only two people in front of me. No one acknowledged me, I couldn't even place an order. There were 4 staff, and throwing together a salad should not take this long. I got fed up and left. I should have just picked up a salad kit from Jewel.

Best salad for me. So fresh and so good. Staff are accommodating. The place is nice and clean.

I usually love sweetgreen but look at this portion. As I was mixing I thought "there's literally NOTHING in here." Look at the container line. They didn't even bother to fill it halfway. What a joke.

Exactly what I was looking for! Clean and mindful ingredients. I placed my orders online and both came well done aside from not putting an ingredient on the side. Otherwise, healthy and tasty foods here. We will be back! Hopefully, prices will come down, these bowls can get pretty pricey.

My first time there I heard many things about sweetgreen so I decided to check it out. And I'm glad that I did. I got Build Your Own. Which was good. I made a salad with arugula, wild rice, carrots, blackened chicken, Apples, lime juice, and olive oil. My salad was tasty and I will be back with my boyfriend.

First time here. Parker was 10/5 friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Enjoyed the salad and will be back. Karina had great understanding of health protocols as it seemed the whole staff.

Love this place! Lots of food for the price. Mikayla is the sweetest person ever- I hope her manager sees this review! She deserves a raise!

I never leave reviews but this is such a disappointment. I order sweetgreen quiet often and never had a problem. I love the specific combination I used to get but today there was an unwanted component in my bowl. I found a green stink bug in the bowl. I almost swallowed it as it blended with the color of the spinach. Such a shame. Now I'll think twice before ordering from sweetgreen again.

I ordered Sweetgreen for lunch today in attempt to make a healthier food choice. I did a build your own bowl with mixed greens, quinoa, roasted chicken and various toppings. My bowl just arrived and for a second I thought I was given croutons instead of roasted chicken. That is how dry and overdone this chicken is. I have no idea if this afternoon was busy, but anyone could look at this chicken and see it's not suitable for bowls at this point. For the price of a salad bowl I'd expect better quality on one of the main items. I suppose this is what I get for ordering via delivery. I am only giving 3 stars because other than that, the bowl taste fine.

Yay! We have a new lunch spot! We used to go to the one downtown when we lived in the Loop but since moving north, we hadn't been to Sweetgreen. So when they opened just a few blocks from our place, we definitely we're going to stop in. The place is very bright and clean and staff was super nice. I like that they've expanded their menu with more bowls and plates so it's not just a "make your own salad" place. I went with the Hot Honey Chicken plate. Loved it! The roasted almonds gave a good crunch and the hot honey sauce was a perfect balance of sweet & spicy. Husband had the Harvest bowl and loved it. He raved about how tender the chicken was. I know other places on Clark St have salad but Sweetgreens does a great job of adding unique and tasty ingredients to make their offerings extra tasty.

Pre-pandemic, my office in the loop was half a block from a Sweetgreen. Now, after working from home up in Rogers Park for over a year, I've gone through a bit of a Sweetgreen withdrawal. I'm almost embarrassed to admit how often I've already ordered from this location, but everything is always fresh and delish. Not once have they messed up an order.

Fresh, delicious and people are nice. When they first opened my review was just 3 stars but it has since greatly improved and I go there every time I feel like having a healthy and tasty salad. Thank you!

As an avid sweetgreen eater, I'm sad to say this is the worst sweetgreen I've ever been to. While customer service is great, They routinely mess up my order. Today I'm eating a salad with an incorrect ingredient and drowning in sauce, even though I only asked for medium dressing. I kid you not, I can literally spoon out the dressing, yuck. Sadly this is not the first time this has happened. The Anderson location screws up my order around 25% of the time. I really hope they can turn this place around since the location is so convenient.

I paid $5+ for an add-on of Steelhead, the online menu depicts 2 decent-sized pieces of fish and what arrived on my salad was one piece approximately the size of a silver dollar. The bread I ordered with the salad was also absent. For a place that charges $5 for nearby delivery in addition to a 10% service fee (I gladly tip the workers but I believe this fee would apply nonetheless) I expect more - it should not cost ~ $50 for 2 salads if these are the protein portions/elements they're not including in the order. I just want to make it clear that I'm not blaming the hourly employees for any of this - I'm sure there's huge pressure from corporate to keep portions within certain limits yada yada (I worked at similar fast-casual places back in the day and know the drill), and the counter-staff are always very helpful and good-natured. The food is tasty too, no gripe with that part. However, corporate and management should take note - for this price point, it's unfair to charge customers what they do. If you're going to eat here, just go to the restaurant and don't make the mistake of screwing around with their expensive online-ordering like me.

The salad was fine. Low score comes from the situation I just witnessed. I feel terrible for the employee who was being harshly coached at a table in the middle of the restaurant. This was clearly an uncomfortable conversation that should have been held off the floor. She was trying to quietly explain herself, while a man with silver hair cut her off, and interrupted her repeatedly. I can't image how embarrassing this must have been for the poor employee. Clearly management doesn't have empathy, or even basic management training.

I finally decided to give Sweetgreen a try tonight and opted for their Crispy Rice Bowl. While it was tasty overall - I have to admit I was hugely disappointed especially with the lack of chicken included in my serving. When you look at their pictures online - they show a reasonable helping of chicken which is what attracted me to try this. What I received was not remotely close to what was pictured and had only a few small pieces of diced chicken in the salad. While I was really hoping to enjoy this new option in the neighborhood - I can't say it is worth the price as there are many, many better options if you actually want some protein in you salad.

Just moved to the area. Tried the buffalo chicken salad once, and the experience and food were divine. The friendly server said they were out of the crispy bits, so gave me the choice of substitutions, and with a couple of tweaks and a smile, was off with a wonderful salad and customer service experience. Then there was tonight. Popped in 45 minutes before closing, and was greeted like an intruder. The gentleman basically grunted through the whole thing. They were still out of crispy bits, but he neglected to offer me a substitution. Then he dumped on an excess of the wrong dressing. Asked if they still had some of the seasonal veggie side dish, and was treated like I was asking him to re-invent a Grant Achatz menu. Just got home. Salad tastes horrible -- for over $18! AVOID THIS PLACE!

I've had an excellent customer experience both with delivery and in restaurant ordering. I have tried several of their menu items. The latest was the Pesto Chicken Salad and it was delicious. Ingredients were fresh. The customer service while ordering was also quick and courteous. I would recommend this location from my experience.

You guys took 30 minutes just for some salads. Unless if it came right from the farm, my review will not change.

Great addition to neighborhood. Great food although i wish your menu was even bigger. Everything delicious. Clean, location. Efficient staff... not yet andersonville friendly but still doing great job. Lol. You doing great tho and know you are going to big success. Thx

I live right around the corner and went in for the first time today. Unsure of what I wanted to order, a super nice women named Shannon helped me and couldn't have been more pleasant to talk too. Food was great. Service was excellent. I'll be back :)

Do you want to wait an inordinate amount of time for employees to acknowledge you and at least 10 minutes to make your salad? Then this is the expensive salad place for you!!!

We had take out once and food was good, but on two other occasions they were closed on Saturday (not holidays). Didn't this location just open a few weeks ago?!?? It's nice to have a healthy option in the neighborhood, but doesn't really matter if they're closed.

I had a taste for something that was healthy but didn't feel like cooking. I looked at Sweet Green and loved the variety of options plus a way to customize. There are greens, veges, nuts, sweet potatoes, wild rice etc. kale, arugula etc. This is the 2nd time ordering and the order is ready on time, staff seems friendly and it was really tasty and super healthy. I've had the Green Goddess Salad and Crispy rice bowl. The dressings are especially good as well. This will be a regular stop for me. Love it.

I ordered delivery from Sweetgreen. The pesto chicken salad was delicious. I added carrots, cucumber and fresh lemon. I also loved the Cobb salad.

Got it together and things are now very on point Order is correct every time and I super appreciate that when dropping coin on stuff like salads.

The food is fresh and delicious.but a bit pricey, and both times that I've ordered here they got my order wrong and the size of some of the toppings were ridiculously small. Staff is slow and the setup of the restaurant is confusing + inefficient, and the step inside the front door is quite dangerous. I'm hopeful that these are growing pains that will be resolved. The restaurant was still quite new when I went there.
