Decent, but not spectacular. I have to say that I am more a fan of Chop't (the other major salad chain in the DC area) than I am of Sweetgreen. I just don't think that Sweetgreen uses a lot of creative ingredients or varies up their menu too much. Whenever I've visited any Sweetgreen location, I usually end up ordering the Kale Caesar because none of the other options seem appealing to me. I've had their Guacamole Greens and Rad Thai salads in the past as well and have not been impressed.
This time, I ordered the Kale Caesar once again. It came with: shredded kale + chopped romaine, tomatoes, shaved parmesan, parmesan crisp, roasted chicken, fresh lime squeeze, caesar dressing. It was decent (and better than my last experience with the salad, which was too warm and gross), but nothing spectacular. I had asked for them to go light on the dressing and it was still drenched. I could only finish half of it before feeling gross. My boyfriend ordered the Portobello, Squash, and Wild Rice bowl (organic wild rice + shredded kale, warm portobello mushrooms, butternut squash, caramelized onions, beets, basil, miso sesame ginger dressing) and liked it decently, but could also only finish half. My friend ordered the Guacamole Greens (organic mesclun, tomatoes, red onion, tortilla chips, avocado, roasted chicken, fresh lime squeeze, lime cilantro jalapeño vinaigrette) and seemed to like it a decent amount.
Maybe it's because I'm ordering the wrong things when I visit, but I just have not been impressed by any of my 5+ visits to various Sweetgreen locations. Given the choice, I would stick with Chop't.
