sweetgreen - Healthy Salads, Bowls and Plates

OUTSTANDING HEALTHY CUISINE We just enjoyed our first order from Sweet Greens! Everything was so flavorful, fresh, delicious, healthy, & reasonably priced! Absolutely fabulous food! The proportions were very generous too. We will definitely be returning on a regular basis!

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.

Ugh I am so grossed out to find a hair in my salad. I pulled it out from underneath the lettuce. I was hungry too. I won’t be back ☹️

Quite expensive for the taste and quality. I would not pay that price again, paying almost 40 dollars for only two people was shocking. Overall not bad but the one minuscule slice of bread we received was stale and lacked flavor which made it unpleasant to eat. Portions were quite large. Staff was okay, not super friendly but not rude by any means. Not a huge range of seating. I also would like to say that they give you options of how much dressing but it would be helpful to have a picture or measurement so you know what you’re getting. We got heavy dressing thinking it would just be a good helping but the bowl was drowning in dressing and it was difficult to enjoy seeing that any other flavor was being completely overpowered. I would not recommend this place to kids or families with young children or picky eaters. It’s very fancy and only appeals to a certain demographics taste buds.

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.

Sweetgreen is my Go-To for when I'm In the office and want to fuel my body with "better for me food" that also tastes good. I love that the Oakbrook location is conveniently located. It's also always clean when I come & the staff is super friendly. I wish I would have gotten the young lady's name who made my bowls today because she was amazing. I'm a creature of habit and the Harvest Bowl is what I'm getting 90% of the time. Today's bowl was super fresh (as always) and very tasty! I like to swap out the roasted chicken for the blackened chicken. That's another thing I love about SweetGreen is how seamless it is to customize your meal! The ONLY reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because ya girl HATES an onion. And my sweet potatoes today are giving a pinch of onion flavor. I'm assuming someone prepped the onion then prepped the sweet potatoes. Nevertheless, the bowl is still great and I'll def be back.

Sweetgreen's food is actually quite good! I was surprised. My wife got the mushroom/shroom salad and it was one of the best salads she has got in a restaurant! I got the steak mezze, and the flavoring was good, but i think the steak was old? I did order an hour after opening ors o, but the steak was a bit tough and chewy, just seemed old. Otherwise, I thought the flavors were quite good. the rosemary foccacia was delicious, and i recommend getting that with your meal. The price is a little higher than I'd like, but at the same time, they do seem to have better quality ingredients and also make everything they provide compostable, which I'm sure has some added cost as well, so that may justify the slightly elevated price. In terms of service, they should clean the tables more often throughout the day to keep the area inviting.

It was my first time at sweetgreen and I was very excited to try it out. Disclaimer - yes, I do know it is quite pricey for a salad, but I love salads and bowls so I walked into the establishment quite aware of this. As it is autumn, I did feel inclined to order the Autumn Harvest Bowl; a base of shredded kale, wild rice, roasted sweet potatoes, roasted almonds, blackened chicken, along with glazed brussels sprouts, goat cheese, and a balsamic viniagrette. I came in around 7pm and the staff was very nice. It was a slower hour, so they had time to make small talk as they made my bowl. I would say the ambiance is not anything special. sweetgreen is definitely a place where you order ahead and pick up or order takeout. There were perhaps two people eating at one of the few tables. The rest of the people that I did see either had ordered their meals ahead of time or were in line like myself. Honestly, the bowl came up to around $22-25, but in my opinion it was so delicious! The different flavors and textures blended very well together. I especially enjoyed the combination of the glazed brussel sprouts, roasted almonds, and the blackened chicken. I also do love a base of kale. I would say that sweetgreen is definitely worth trying at least once, and if you enjoy it - a healthier treat once in awhile!

Came here for a quick dinner. They have many items that are GF. They change gloves for every order and then I mentioned I was celiac/GF the crew member took our bowls to the back to add the toppings. I got the Harvest Bowl with tofu instead of chicken and added crispy rice. The food was decent. They do not have any fountain drinks but do have a water dispenser.

07/02/25 - First time @ a Sweetgreen. There are multiple locations around the city and in the suburbs. My wife had a doctor appointment in Oakbrook so we went to the mall & grabbed lunch @ Sweetgreen. I love this place kind of like chipotle but healthier. They have a large selection of salads w/a variety of toppings including choices of proteins. They have salmon, steak, chicken or tofu. My wife ordered the chicken avocado ranch salad & I ordered the KBBQ Steak Bowl w/purple rice. It was delicious. Both of these salads are huge & can be shared had we known how large they were we might have. Yet since we didn't we both have enough for another meal. This Sweetgreen is clean w/a great crew handling a large volume of people. Now that I know what a Sweetgreen is I will definitely be back again

My first time trying sweetgreen was a yelp event and ever since I been hooked. Many locations in different states too. Sweetgreen is made from scratch with love. Create your own bowl or pick the signature ones. I read a lot of reviews about the service here being bad but I didn't experience that during my visit. Ambience is cute, has indoor and outdoor seating even though it's located inside a mall the only problem you can possibly have here is parking lol . Good luck on the weekend.

Hot take but Sweetgreen has went downhill significantly since expanding their menu options. I am not sure if it's an overall Sweetgreen issue or just this location. The quality is simply lacking and this particular location is always out of something. This visit it was limes (worker tried to give me lemons instead without mentioning it) and last trip they were out of chicken. As a girl who used to get sweetgreen daily, I am hitting the point where just don't think I want it anymore.

Hello, just wanted to start with that I enjoy eating at sweet green restaurant and never had bad experience before today. I usually eat in but today was my first to go order. When I got back home I was exited to eat my favorite bowl n when I open it I was not sure if I should laugh or cry. Usually portions are so generous I can split this in two meals. Today I got 6 square peaces of chicken, order a side of sweet potatoes.. one bowl had one slices n second had two half peaces, lil bit of rice that I had to search for. That was $18! Absolutely unacceptable, i would bring it back but unfortunately I live in Chicago and I was not going to drive back for another 40 min. Me and my daughter were absolutely disappointed. Both orders were done poorly. It reflected on the employee that made it how much they did not care about their job. They forgot bread and extra dressing on both orders as well. Hope to hear back from you and correct this issue in the future. Thank you. Extra charge almost a dollar for sweet potato . What a joke 6 squares of chicken Forgot bread n extra dressing. Tried to contact them don't even count on them making it rite. U going to waste your time.

I love Sweetgreen. I frequented this particular establishment located within the Oakbrook Mall several times a couple years ago. I recently have relocated closer to this location again noticed there's a slight difference. Whenever I go the salads are deliciously tasty. I enjoy making my own bowl and choosing what I want, however, the premade salads are yummy too. The ingredients are fresh and the dressings are some of the best I've had. Occasionally, if I order ahead my order has been incorrect (missing a dressing) or the ingredients are less than usual. I like coming between 11-11:30 when I find it's quieter to order my bowls. The staff is always so kind and nice. They want to ensure you have a great experience. The staff is also very conscious of cleanliness and handwashing, which is so reassuring. All in all, I still enjoy coming to this location and will continue to stop in frequently!

Our office placed a large lunch order. Seeetgreen took our money, then stiffed us. No food. And they wouldn't even answer their phone! Patronize this place at your peril.

First time at this location and my last. Found a bug at the bottom of my salad! Very concerning it's that easy for bugs to be sneaking into the food....

Food is good but the servers seem annoyed to work and they are not fully stocked with salad ingredients.

I visit this Sweetgreen quite often and really appreciate the convenience of ordering ahead for pickup... it makes grabbing a healthy meal quick and easy. This location can get pretty busy though so sometimes orders run a bit behind, which is frustrating. they often forget to include extra sauces I order, but overall, the food is fresh, delicious, and healthy!

Super slow service. Ordered the new ripple fries and was told it's a 30min wait. Tried paying cash they said their manager said they couldn't accept cash today. Portions were so uneven between the 3 salads ordered. Way too expensive of a salad to have them skimp. Dining room filthy, had to ask if someone could come wipe down a table. I order all the time at the west loop location when I'm at work and it's always consistently good service and good portions. Oakbrook doesn't have it together.

I've had the buffalo chicken salad at Sweetgreen a few times now, and it never disappoints! The chicken has just the right kick, and the mix of greens, veggies, and dressing is always super fresh and delicious. It's become one of my favorite go-to meals when I want something quick, healthy, and satisfying. Place is a bit tight for seating but cozy overall. Service was great, welcomed in right away as well as being helped when needing to substitute something.

I love sweet-greens and order salads from here via in person and through the app. Although my salads have never been disappointing the customer service at this location is horrible. Both times I been here there's always people in the back working at a snails pace. A lady told me just one moment someone will be with you, mind it took almost 5-10 minutes and a line behind me started. Everything was so slow and I had to ask multiple times for something to add because they just always are so distracted just talking rather than anything even relevant. So disappointing

Came to oakbrook location sweetgreen and ofc sweetgreen is delicious always. I do prefer the Naperville location because it's a lot quicker and they don't over do your dressing lol. The service at oakbrook is like chipotle so the service takes awhile. Best to order ahead to pick up your order instead of coming and waiting in line.

After a long drive, stopped in for something healthy to eat. After ordering I went to cashier and handed her $100 bill. As that's all I had on me. She proceeded to take out the pen and draw lines down it. Then has to go get the manager who did the same thing adding a flashlight to the bill. After this time a line is forming and I'm getting embarrassed to be the source of the problem. After all this she hands me my money back and says I have to pay a different way. Since when is US Currency not accepted. This place can shove their overpriced salad. Will not see me again.

Honestly this place is a total disaster. I do like sweet greens but this joint is a mess. Everyone working is kinda an a-hole, they're out of everything, and just looks like a bomb went off in there. Stupid

Overpriced salad!!!!! I ordered my own make salad, and here I'm thinking I'm going to save money on my lunch. I only asked for an extra item, steak. If I knew they were going to charge me close to $7 for just six small pieces of steak I would had ordered something else. I end up paying $22 for a simple salad with a bit of steak. Buyers beware. They were charging me extra for every little thing including the salad dressing and they didn't include the bread.

This was my first time at a Sweetgreen restaurant. My salad was decent but I did feel the price was high. The ingredients were fresh. I appreciated receiving a half of avocado on my salad. My daughter had the salad with hummus and it was served frozen on the side. The service was okay but not exceptional. The coolest thing was the hand washing station outside of the bathroom which was nice for those who just needed to wash their hands.

Horrid service. I ordered the ripple fries and told me they weren't ready yet, that I'd have to wait for 30 minutes. That's fine, understandable. One of the employees told me that she would have the fries ready for me at the cash register. I waited and waited, I went up there to check if they were ready--nothing there. I asked one of the employees if I could have my fries I asked for 30 MINUTES AGO, she said someone else ordered the rest of them. I clearly waited for 30 fucking minutes just for them to sell the fries to someone else, they completely forgot about the fact that I ordered them before. Please hire more experienced and intelligent employees.

I tried Sweet green for the first time and I enjoyed it. I had the elote and it was delicious. It didn't exactly taste like an Elote by any means but it was still delicious and I do recommend it. The sweet potatoes side were also amazing and please don't take that lightly because I don't even like sweet potatoes but they were nice done and were flavorful. The Focaccia bread however was a miss for me. I also would have liked a better selection of drinks available. I didn't eat at the restaurant so I can't comment on that but the speed of my order and it's preparedness was pretty good. So I do recommend this place if you see looking for a yummy salad or a sweet green :)

I really wanted to order something from this place. The menu looked so good. Many gluten-free options-- except that they aren't celiac safe. The employee I asked didn't even know what that meant. I further inquired: do you have a dedicated gluten-free prep space? She actually giggled. This is why we need NG and CS instead of GF Stop trying to ride to extra profits. Take GF off your menu or dedicate a prep space.

Don't get me wrong, I love Sweetgreen and the food is delicious. but I HATE this location! And it's really sad and pisses me off because this is the location closest to my house. My husband I spend hundreds of dollars there, but we will not spend not one more red cent at this location. We was coming here numerous times and the service has been consistently bad. It shouldn't take 30+ minutes to get 1 salad. They would only have 1 person in the front fixing the salads and on the register. Everyone else is walking around in the back doing other things when they should be in the front helping getting the line down. The line is long and they don't move with any urgency. They have a don't give a f attitude. Every time I get my salad made, I have to practically beg to get more toppings. The salad maker keeps telling me about the up-charge for extra toppings. I don't care about the up-charge, I'll pay for it. Just give me what I ask for! The last time I was there, 2 of the workers walked in the back and said that someone will be right with us. Why could you not help me. Nobody came to help us. Someone else came to the front to make a mobile order and ignored us. We walked out and are not coming back. We ended up going to the Oak Park location where we were serviced right away, and they wasn't stingy with the portions. I hope this Oak Brook location get shut down!

I have tried to give this place a chance and stupidly come back several times to be continually disappointed by long lines, painful customer service, and tiny protein portions. On my last visit I tried pick up to avoid the line (which moves at a snails pace) and was told that they were out of bread and that I would have to pay $2 for a piece of focaccia. Pretty disappointing since I just paid $30 for two mediocre salads that skimped on the protein big time. If you want to dine here prepare to be underwhelmed and possibly grumpy :)

The service was absolutely garbage. Not going to name names, but a female worker was clearly very racist and treated us with disdain. When asked for bread with my bowl, she sneered and threw it into my bowl with disgust. I simply left my food there and did not pay. If this is the treatment that is given, I will not be returning to this establishment.

This location is THE WORST. I don't even know where to start. This is the 3rd time I've had some major issues, 3 strikes you are out Sweetgreen. First off, every single time I've placed an online order it's completely wrong. Tonight I had driven 20 minutes each way to pick up 3 salads for my family. My daughter has celiac and I specifically indicated NO BREAD for her order and what did they do? Put bread right on top of her salad. My "create your own " salad where I paid for a double portion of portobello mushroom mix and it was NOT on the salad I picked up. Even more frustrating is that I counted a total of 4 pickled onion pieces, 10 garbanzo beans 5 ccarrots slices on a bed of only romaine (mixed greens was left out) and I paid close to $16 for just lettuce leaves. I ordered another salad for my husband and indicated no pickled onion and gosh darn it, there were pickled onions. I'm so incredibly disappointed and upset that I will never return again... it's not worth it. You can't ever reach a person to talk to and honestly, I would say most of the employees that work there are unprofessional, rude and act like they don't want to be there. I work at this mall and constantly deal with customers and never seen anything like this. Also, one time when I went in after my shift one employee that was helping me was called out by another employee for not wearing gloves while putting his dirty hands into the lettuce leaves he was serving me. I was shocked and grossed out. I asked to speak to a manager but the person at the register said there wasn't one available. I sent in a review to customer service and never received a response. I'm almost thinking I'll report this location to the BBB and Illinois health department. This place is the worst and never in my life encountered anything like this. Don't order here.

I am so despondent. I usually love Sweetgreen. I got all the way to the bottom of my bowl today, and there was a dead ant. Like why?!! Now, I'm so grossed out. I don't want to go back. Depressed. Keep it clean. Get rid of the ants!

Ordered for the first time from this establishment. Spent over $70 on my bill today. They forgot two items. Because I used Uber eats, they will not rectify the problem. I was not asking for a refund. I was asking for the food that I paid for, this is my first and last time that I will ever order from Sweetgreen again. the digital customer service is not worth it at all! Poorly handled!

Me and my friend go once a week to the Sweet Green in Oak Brook we love the salads. We live about 30 minutes away. Unfortunately their rudeness has left us no other option but to stop going. The last 3 times have been awful.

Went with hubby to try this place as we were perusing the mall area and wanted to grab something for lunch. Not impressed. Hadn't eaten here before. The staff wasn't friendly - cashiers, and the other staff member who was there not very helpful or friendly nor did anyone bother to explain how anything worked. Priced higher than I would have expected for the amount of food and quality of the food. I picked the chicken avocado bowel with blackened chicken - came with rice and lettuce which was kind odd combination, as well as avocado, chips, dressing, etc. Not a ton of toppings to pick from. I chose to not get the onions. They were pretty skimpy on the meat as others have pointed out. For the price, didn't think the amount of food gotten was that great. husband got a custom bowl with blackened chicken - didn't seem super exciting. Otherwise the restaurant was clean, and had good seating. We got some water, drinks were a little pricey. Probably won't be back. I think the restaurant can work on the friendliness (or lack thereof) of the staff, as well as the food offerings.

Just FYI: The manager did reach out and offered credit in their app... I understand that could be an effective tool, in some situations, to get someone to return. The better move would have been to refund the meal that was the wrong temperature and accompanied by a giant, dead moth.

It felt like I was back in Chicago going here! The location is immaculate and easy to find. I wish there were a few more ingredients to choose from, but the ones they have are high quality. I like that there are different types of lettuce to choose from, including arugula (I stuck with romaine because I love arugula, but it can be unwieldy when eating in front of others!). I took off a star because it's basically worthless to get chicken - they barely fill out a tiny scoop, so no need. The marinated portobello mushrooms are surprisingly flavor-packed! Special mention goes to the spicy cashew dressing. I don't even love cashews, really, but it's so delicious!

Best salads my boyfriend and I have every had at a restaurant. I had the harvest bowl with medium dressing and my be had the guava greens with medium dressing as well. Absolutely fantastic! I want to also write something here in the hopes that management reads it. When we went, the line was nearly out the door the entire time we were ordering and eating. Roughly 7 workers were absolutely busting ass keeping up with things. When we went to pay, I was going to pay cash and tip but there was no tip jar and if there was it didn't matter as there was a sign that said I needed to have exact change to pay cash which I didn't have. So, we paid credit card and there was inexplicably no place to add a tip which is now standard at most restaurants you go to given COVID and the push to pay via credit card. Management really needs to get with the times especially with the worker shortage. Complete b.s. that you're making it nearly impossible to tip. This is especially the case given how labor intensive it is to make these salads. I do feel for the workers and understand it can be beyond management and maybe up to corporate to make decisions like this but seeing how many orders they had to do in person plus the ones online was simply overwhelming. Great food which is why I unfortunately didn't take a pic of the salads since I was so hungry and divided right in. But trust me it's worth the wait!

I have no words to say at this moment. This location keeps getting my order wrong, at this point i have a feeling they do it on purpose. A couple days ago i ordered online and got it delivered to me. After a long day at work expecting to eat my food in peace i saw that they forgot many ingredients. Today i got it ordered online and got it delivered and to my luck once again missing ingredients. I haven't eaten all day due to being at a family's funeral and this happens. This is so upsetting. Not to mention the location is very slow as well. Do better Oakbrook.

Good Staff i had mine is the Garden Cobb & a slice of bread i have a Brunch Meal.. for my drinks is the Jasmine Green Tea. Total about $17.00 you have the healthiest snack ever it suit the whole day. They are busy on Lunch there is a line if you come early you can pick it your choice veges salad dressings and toppings. Good idea for this kind of the century. Good Eats make your Life easier..

If you're looking for a healthier version of chipotle, you should try this place. They have bowls and plates, similar to Chipotle but with some greener options. You can expect to see spinach, kale, sweet potatoes, and other veggies with wild rice and even couscous as grain options. The plates are well though out and flavorful and some come with dressing for extra flavor. They have both hot and cold bowl options. I've been looking for a place like this for awhile, where I can have healthier options when I'm not looking for just a plain salad. This location was a bit busy at lunchtime and the service was okay, so plan accordingly. I also like the fact that they have a separate area and separate door for online orders to cut down on traffic.

Went in for a salad around 7:30 the other night, and there was literally only one lady in front of me being helped amongst about 5-6 workers. I stood there for so long (at LEAST 5 min- I really wanted a salad) with no acknowledgment, no hello, no be right with you or anything. The girls that worked this place looked at me like they didn't even want me to be there! So i left and didn't order anything. I actually love Sweet Green, but that service was highly disappointing. Maybe don't go after 3pm when a bunch of high school looking girls are working because they will just let you stand there

Great, healthy food. Great service. Clean restaurant. Price is high, but worth it and you can always eat half and save some for later.

The best salads and everything is super fresh! Highly recommend! Healthy and you can choose substitute for meat

Painfully slow. Hardly ever anywhere clean to sit at lunch. Salads are good but is it worth it?

Ordered via Uber eats: If I could leave zero stars I would. My order was incorrect, but that wasn't the worse part...there was a pretty large bug in the salad and it most definitely looked like it had been cooked in with the chicken. I guess it's good when you look at each bite you take but this is just unacceptable.

I was looking for a lunch spot that had vegan options, this place had them so I decided to check it out. Im glad I did because now I don't have to go back. It's got an upscale fast food vibe with prices to match but for me the food wasn't worth the money. If you're a vegan and hungry, get french fries. You'll be more satisfied and you'll avoid the "shit I just spent 40 dollars on a deconstructed sandwich" feeling.

I had the chicken teriyaki, was not what I expected. My selection was mediocre. It was a lot of greenery (hence the name), It required more chicken. However I'm trying to eat more healthily so it did the job. Service was fast, you chose your options as you go or you pick from a pre planned salad. I was solo today, the ambiance allowed for concentration. They had good music playing in the background. If you're working from here the music would be a bit loud.

I would really love to give them a better rating... The food is good but it is wildly over priced. I wouldn't bother getting in line if you don't have much time for a lunch break because the staff has no sense of urgency and I've waited in line for 10-15mins before. If you must order, I recommend ordering online before hand. I like the food but the wait time and price is not worth it in my opinion. I, sadly, do not plan to return to this location.

$20 salad for pick up only 1 dressing, super skimpy on ingredients for a $20 I expect more ingredients!

I was surprised at just how good my salad was. Typically salads can be bland. Not at SweetGreens I had the vegan shroomami salad. Everything is made to order ( think chipotle's). The vegetables are fresh and chopped on premise. No frozen stuff. I'm definitely investing in this company as soon as the IPO is released on the Nasdaq stock exchange.

Terrible, Slow Service The food is awful for the price, I expected so much more, it had more Leafy Greens than anything. A dollop of everything else... I have waited 10 minutes before for a salad and it comes out dry, and no flavor. Absolutely NOT!
