The allure of Tender Greens has certainly faded for me, more so with every reluctant interaction in the past year (be it in store or to-go/delivery) which inevitably ends in utter disappointment. During this quarantine, Tender Greens always pops up on UberEats and of course is tempting. My go-to has always been their plates...who doesn't love a hot item and 2 sides of your choice? I decided to bite the bullet and order in.
Just take one peek at this latest photo and let me know if it looks enticing to you. 4 slices of lukewarm chicken. A ton of butter lettuce (if you squint you might see the chives that supposedly come with this "salad"). Some of this can be understandable given they're only takeout and delivery right now, but this was such a sad sight I just had to share. They really need to work on their presentation skills, at the very least.
Again, whereas in the past, I've really been impressed with the quality and presentation of food, there's now more of a chain feel, and not in a good way. Look no further than Sweetgreen, Tocaya Organica...hell, even California Chicken Cafe, for salads and hot entrees more robust and enticing than here, and at the same price.
