Bought some Windex, and I said, damn, what a SWEETCLEAN

19 YO just hit on her, she said what a SWEET-TEEN
I had a Jelly Belly, I said damn what a SWEETBEAN
Barbi got into Dartmouth, she said what a SWEETDEAN
Then I took my pants off and she said what a SWEETPEEN
Then we came to get a salad right here at SWEETGREEN
WHAT
There's nothing Sweet about Sweetgreen, and all of the salad afficionados that I know, are in a-Green-ment.
Much better service than the one on Westheimer, almost every time I've been here. They have some great staff members and are more in line with what I'm sure corporate would want from their servers and their treatment of salad-procuring guests.
I had Sweetgreen on many occasions when I was on the east coast (Boston, NY, DC and so on), and was never really impressed, although the one in Cambridge by Harvard is my preferred location, by far, and always packed.
Sometimes the salad was awful. Sometimes it was pretty good but it might have just been because I was starving. Overall I've never been the biggest fan but I gave it a good solid chance, and now that it's finally come to Houston, I've tried both locations (Montrose and Rice Village) on a number of occasions, and this one pees on the other one, from a great height, and it splashes a lot too.
The salad itself tastes pretty good. They seem to have decent ingredients and although it definitely has a hipster flavour, I kind of like it. I don't love it but I kind of like it and it mixes things up from my usual Salata, which gives portions twice the size or greater, with unlimited options, for the same price.
The problem is that it's basically the same price as Salata and yet can be literally one quarter of the size, one third at best, if Salata is stingy.
But anything's better than the nasty attitudes of the employees over at Westheimer, causing this one to get 2 full stars higher in the rating department, due to actually being friendly, and Houston not having that many non-Salata options for salad that are actually good.
But, if it's within say 45 min of closing, expect them to be out of some things sometimes.
4 stars for the salads, should lose a star for portion sizes, but such a refreshing change to the nasty treatment at the other location, that I'll stick with 4.
So it's not the best salad I've seen
And some of the servers are quite mean
But if you want some kale
Then come here, without fail
And you'll get healthy sh** at Sweetgreen
