sweetgreen - Healthy Salads, Bowls and Plates

This was my first Sweetgreen experience and it was great! If you’ve never been, it’s pretty much just build your own salads or plates. I wanted to try something unique so I went with the Korean BBQ Plate and was not disappointed at all. It’s a pretty big serving and it’s really good. The person preparing my food was extremely nice and a really cool person. They offered to mix the plate for me and it was perfect because everything was mixed in well together and that helped distribute the flavor. Definitely a really solid option for a bit of a healthier fast casual experience!

So, after having a very long day and feeling a little down, I walked into the Sweet Green in Oakbrook, Illinois, and when I say my spirits were lifted by the young lady name, Mia she had such a great smile, spirit and inviting demeanor. Her manager Jazmin was busy working on multiple bowls for customers and when I say with perfection and precision she was very focused on making sure the bowls were made properly and visually appealing. To me that’s the way a manger is supposed to kick in an represent her store. Continuing, on Mia, ask me was this my first time, I answered and she began to give me a taste test of things and she taught me things about Sweet Green and the business. When I say, I feel completely different from the way, I felt when I walked in here. I appreciate Mia for her wonderful customer service, kind spirit, and knowledge of the company. Also, the Young lady Caroline, who was cleaning the restaurant was very particular about how clean the store is and literally moving chairs, tables, and anything else to insure the restaurant was immaculate and clean. I will be visiting again because they represent of teamwork and making sure the company is represented well this particular location is A1, in my book. I appreciate you all

The food here tastes great, which is why our office orders from the Oakbrook location quite often. However, we’ve noticed a recurring issue recently—it feels like one order is being split into two plates. The portions have been getting smaller and smaller, which is disappointing given how much we’ve enjoyed the food in the past. We hope this gets addressed because we love the flavors but need the portions to match the value we’re paying for.

Please cut your salad and make sure it’s fresh ( should not have black ends)

9.13 updated review. Normally I only write if it's a positive experience & if it was truly awful with bad customer service to give the establishment an opportunity to rectify it. I ordered the Guacamole Greens salad to go. So I get home I have what looks like the bottom of the bag crumbs of the tortilla chips, the salad greens were huge hardly cut up , half an avocado dumped in there ? The cilantro dressing was tasteless, hardly any chicken. Did I mention that the place looked unkempt? There word part was that I called customer service , they texted me that someone would text me back to answer my call and NEVER followed up- twice a to just get them to rectify this mess of a salad & lack of quality for the price. I will not be going again- too many options out there to have to put up with terrible quality and service. Even if they were short staffed which it seemed like, they could have taken their time to fix the salad properly. It's too bad because my review below 7 months ago tells a different experience. Victor was super helpful - recommended the Harvest Bowl Salad and it was fresh, unique and satisfying. I love the airy modern decor & the beach lounge music was relaxing & for a cloudy Midwest day- it felt good. Can't wait to try their other salads and bowls!

UPDATED: this place gave me food poisoning and the service is terrible! Avoid at all costs! This place is delicious for a simple and healthy lunch. The ingredients are always fresh and the dressing here is amazing. I would buy the jalapeño vinaigrette by the bottle. The chicken is also delicious. I will say the portions are small for the price and there is always one person working there regardless of how busy it is. Sometimes the lines can be over 30 minutes long which is an inconvenience when you’re on the go. But other than that, this place is delicious and hearty. I especially recommend the sweet potato bowl!

Food Was awful, Service was terrible. Rude employees. we were served by a young girl whose name starts with “GA” and she was just so rude. The food was disgusting and sloppy. I cannot express how bad of an experience it was eating here. Slimy gross food. The employees gave little to no portion on the food either and the meal was 22$!!!!! Do not i repeat do not eat here at sweet green in oakbrook. I hope the staff can get their stuff together, i am not sure if she was having a bad day or if she treats every customer like this.

Chicken was all fat, tons of greens but not a tasty balace of the bowl contents. Great concept but next time we're in the area, we'll most likely skip it. We expected a little more, especially for the price:(
