Verde

ordered ahead so i could pick up quickly… the order wasn’t ready or even started yet when i arrived 10 min after the scheduled pick up time. staff ignored me for five minutes until i flagged them down and they were out of multiple ingredients and forgot to give me my bread. the food is good but they wasted over half of my lunch break just to get my food :/

I had not eaten at Verde in a while and my husband picked up 2 wraps to take home. One was big enough for both my husband and I so we put the other one in the refrigerator for later. The ingredients were probably good but there was so much dressing, we could hardly taste them or even eat the wrap. It was drenched and dripping with dressing. I can’t imagine why the person making it out so much dressing on it as to make it almost inedible. We did manage to eat the first wrap but could not imagine having to deal with all of that dressing again and threw the other one away. Maybe they should ask if you want heavy or light dressing or offer to put it on the side. Or if we eat there again we will pay closer attention to the person making it and ask for light dressing.

I really do love Verde, but some of the changes recently are making me go there less and less. I loved the champagne vinaigrette and it's not available anymore, and today's bowl was chopped (supposed to be composed) and was really peppery. Really bummed when an order comes out wrong (has happened a few times lately) because when you're grabbing takeout on your lunch break you don't have time (or want to go back and fix it.). I don't mind the new containers--i thought there was too much food in the old ones to begin with.

Great place if you are on Dr. Esselstyn's reversing heart disease diet of lifestyle (dresselstyn.com). Create your own salad with lots of choices of greens, grains, fruits and veggies! You can make one of the healthiest salads and it's enough for two people. We visit this location most of the times we visit Mount Pleasant or Charleston area.

Super staff. Salad tasty, but the shake method does an in inferior toss compared to turning with salad utensils

Have been coming here for 6 years and have never had a problem. It’s always been a little pricey but a great salad with plenty of food. Now they have changed the container that the salad is served in and they are much much smaller. I’m talking now you get about HALF the amount of food for the same ‘pricey’ price! That’s not an exaggeration, you get HALF the salad as previously available. It’s absolutely ridiculous and I will definitely not be buying anything from this place anytime soon. Sad they have gone the price gouging route:(

Possibly the best salad I've ever eaten. Great spot after a beach day when you don't want something heavy but still want to feel full. The salads are BIG, toppings are perfectly proportioned, and they mix everything together which feels like an added bonus. I ordered a seasonal salad - This is how we (spring) roll - and my friend did a create-your-own style. We both wish we had this restaurant closer to our homes (I will be bringing all my guests here when I take them out toward the beach or into Charleston). Also, their strawberry limeade is fresh and tastes like you're drinking a strawberry. So delicious. Clean place. Not crowded. Lots of parking. Tables are really close together, but it's just a small space and there weren't a lot of people, so it wasn't a problem for us. Also, their dressings are all gluten-free, so if you have that dietary restriction, you're safe. :)

I usually love Verde and have had great experiences there before this one incident tonight. I had a really bad experience with one of the employees. She was super rude and short with me. Her horrible attitude and the salad itself made me pretty upset. She barely chopped my salad and the salad was not good. I said I wanted a water cup and I unknowingly grabbed the wrong cup. Thankfully I realized because she was going to charge me 3 dollars for what I thought was a free water cup. The other employee that was helping other guests was great and super fast!

The Chickpea Salad was amazing. Love the twist on the normal Mediterranean style I'm accustomed to. The crumbled falafel gave a nice texture throughout each bite. Dressing was like a thin garlic sauce but not overpowering. Portion was large enough to split and be satisfied.

Once again Verde came through. Being close by I decided to have their salad for lunch. I chose the seasonal Peach super salad. Chopped veggies, nuts and grains consisting of quinoa and sesame seeds with a large variety of good for you things. A Lemon vinaigrette dressed the salad. Excellently prepared by their great staff. They make a very nutritious salad in a very clean area. Inside seating is available. The places are large enough so you won't be crowded. Plenty of parking and easy to get in. This is my go to for GREAT SALADS. You can order on line and pick up from one of the two locations in Mt. Pleasant with very easy access. I encourage you to try it!

Good salads! Great drinks! I will definitely come back. I had the chickpea salad and the strawberry limeaid drink. Please come here!

I absolutely love this option for healthy meals in the heart of Mount Pleasant. However, I've been multiple times and always order online without complete satisfaction. I have had ingredients like avocado you pay extra for left off and the "shake" or the way it is tossed together isn't so great. The dressing is pretty small for a large salad as well. If you are new and do a to go they do not include silverware and you may have to run back in to be told it is across from them on the wall. As in get your own. This location has great and fresh ingredients, but something is lacking especially in employee attitude.

I don't really have much of an opinion because I have been to many "Make your own salad" places. I really liked my salad bowl. However, I didn't think there was enough. Usually, I get full from one whole bowl, but the amount was little so I ate half of my friend's bowl. The one thing I like to note is that it is right across from Gold's gym, so it is a good fresh meal to have after a hard workout. Overall 7.8 out of 10.

Super quick. Really good. Good quality. Friendly service. We stopped in after the gym. Farmhouse with shrimp. Delicious and. Hearty serving too. Fresh local ingredients.

Always quick and always yummy! I love the versatility of vegetarian and vegan options that are available. Yes it is a salad place but not all salad places are created equal. Verde is intentional with flavorful protein options and endless possibilities for creating a delicious and filling salad! Has become an easy place to return to for when I need to grab a fast, healthy, and delicious lunch!

Amazing salads. My lunch mate and I tried two salads and shared both with each other. We both agreed that it was good quality and tasty. It was our first time visit and the staff was helpful in making selections.

Verde never disappoints for a fast, healthy, flavorful meal. It's my go to spot for lunch on the days I don't pack lunch. For $10-15, you can choose from a large selection of curated salads, or build you own. Salad not your thing? No worries, they can make it into a wrap for you! They are also highly accommodating if you ask for substitutions or additions to a salad recipe. Lastly, I have to say that the staff is always incredibly kind and hustling. This is true for all of Verde's locations. I've never had a bad experience and will continue to come here for a healthy lunch-time treat.

Ordering takeout online was easy enough; and convenience was definitely the goal on the evening I stopped by. My salad was just about finished when I arrived, and I watched the final steps of a painstakingly fresh assembly process. I customized with some premium ingredients, which gets expensive here really quickly. However, I have nothing negative to say about the result, which was robust and varied in flavor. I had bits of black bean burger, grapes, pecans, all over a variety of freshly chopped greens and quinoa. For a fast casual salad bowl place, the quality and selection of ingredients remains quite excellent. I could easily put together a completely different order that would still be great were I to visit again.

We love Verde. Their mission, their community involvement and the food. It's always fresh and I feel healthy eating there.

Fresh healthy and affordable. Kind of loud due to all hard surfaces and salad chopping.

A great find, all they do are salads which can be ordered in a bowl or in a wrap. The staff members were very welcoming, attentive, friendly, and helpful explaining the different salads and also offering us several options for customizing the pre-designed salads or if we didn't see a salad we liked, we could "design-our-own" salad. My wife ordered the Seasonal "Strawberry Fields w/roasted chicken" in a bowl and I ordered the "Mesa Verde" in a wrap. Both of our selections were made to order, filled with fresh ingredients, delicious, and to boot, the portion sizes were large. There were plenty of inside and outside seating available but because we were only a few minutes away from our hotel we elected to bring our food back to our hotel room to enjoy. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals and service so we would return the next time we have a craving for a salad bowl/salad wrap!

I must say that Verde has some deliciously paired flavors and pre-selected options on their Signature Creations menu. If you find yourself there and indecisive then you can pretty safely choose Cobb on King (Turkey, Avo, Bacon, Egg, etc) or Mesa Verde (Chicken, Avo, Black Beans, Corn, Tortilla, etc) for consistently tasty combos that have been my two favorites. I recommend the wraps vs. bowls but I think you do get more leafy greens with the salad bowl if that's your preference. I do really love the concept and their menu offerings, but I just haven't been overwhelmingly impressed by the overall quality or price. Granted the serving sizes are large and plentiful for the price you do pay, the food itself is really at its best taste and texture when eaten right then and there vs packed to go which would realistically be the ideal option. I appreciate that they can cater more to the takeaways by not chopping your salad or putting the dressing on the side, but I've found that when I get it home and then cut/dress it myself it ends up being a salad I could have just made from grocery for less money. If I let them prepare it where I just open container and dig in then it has a tendency to have become soft, soggy greens with mushy toppings. Still okay to eat but just not the best by any stretch. Verde is a great place to stop in and eat a quick and healthy lunch. Their ingredients are real and simple and stored right there in front of you so there is no question about exactly what you are being served.

This location is by far the best of the three in the area. It's so clean in there and the ingredients ALWAYS look fresh and organized. I've never had a problem here and it's so consistent and fast for an easy and healthy lunch!

I went here today for lunch and it was fun :). I eat salads for lunch a few times a week- it's really one of my staple lunches since I don't eat meat (except the occasional seafood)- so I guess I'm somewhat of a salad snob. Basically, Verde is a build-your-own-salad bar where someone else makes your salad. I like salad bars, but salads always seem to taste better when someone else makes them. If you don't want to build your own salad, you can have one of their menu creations- which is what I decided to do. I had a salad called the Farmer's Market. It's arugula, mesclun, spinach, sprouts, cucumbers, avocado, broccoli, hearts of palm, and sunflower seeds. I substituted the dressing to get fat-free raspberry vinaigrette. The avocado gave it a nice creamy texture without having a creamy dressing, and it was freshly scooped out in the restaurant in front of me- I liked that. I also got my salad chopped, and it was chopped with something that looked like a double pizza cutter. Two different parties in line asked where they could find that salad chopper- it is pretty cool. The salads also come with bread or you can get them as a wrap. The crew at Verde seemed to really enjoy what they were doing; they had a lot of energy and did a great job with the toppings-to-greens ratio that some restaurant salads get wrong. I did add a bit more dressing when I got home. The salad prices are about standard for lunch, ranging from $8-10, although if you build your own salad and add a LOT of toppings, I could see where it could get pricey.

Hubby and I have been here 3-4 times. Not sure what it is, ingredients are fresh but nothing tastes too good. I have had better salads in DC, but not sure what makes a good salad. I have tried the hummus salad which is good but not too filling, and the Mesa verde(too much lime which makes salad soggy ,so I ask for none )is ok. I am not sure if they need to improve on the dressings to make salad more delicious? My last visit, the employee used gloves to make my salad, then used same gloves to ring me up using the iPad and went on to make next customers salad, which I thought was gross.

My husband and I were very excited to discover a place to find a great healthy salad here in Mt Pleasant. Unfortunately over the last few months we've had one too many experiences where they've botched our order (leaving out several ingredients, not including extra dressing that we paid for, and/or not including bread that we had ordered). It's confusing how these really simple aspects of the order could get messed up- it seems like just carelessness. The salads themselves, when made right, are great. They are generous with their ingredients, and the dressings are delicious. I hope they can step up their game before they lose customers like us who are tired of repeatedly being disappointed.

Stopped in for lunch today. I ordered the black bean burger salad with pickles, onions, coconut bacon. It was pretty good except the black bean burger was so dry. The salad dressing definitely helped with that. The slice of bread that came with it was also very dry. No help for that, I just skipped eating it. The main problem with this Verde location was the cleanliness. The prep area where the ingredients were was really a mess and the overall cleanliness of the restaurant was lacking a bit. Definitely a turnoff for this location. A plus was we had a question about ingredients and one of the employees went out of her way to look them up. The overall Verde concept is a good one-just would love to see a cleaner eating establishment.

Not a restaurant but a fast food vegetarian chain, no bad for a quick grab and go for a fresh salad. Good variety of salads and make your own style, stylish and easy parking. Sitting outside and inside with AC.

One of the workers came out and said I apologize about the coupon and handed me two cards to come back and get either a salad or wrap !!! That was wicked sweet! Thanks dude :)

Verde on Coleman has the best customer service around. They just started a free ordering service for teachers and school staff to Charleston County Schools (keeping us healthy!) and I tried to get an order in before the time limit for ordering, but had a technical issue. I emailed Verde and Jennifer helped me immediately and was able to get me my incredibly delicious salad delivered with no problem with the rest of the orders to the school. I am excited to continue having my healthy meals from them during the week. Thanks again y'all!

The customer service at this place is great first off. Ruby Tuesday salad bar has nothing on this place lol. Cost wise I paid 9.00 for my salad but everything looked fresh and it was made to order so not too bad of a deal. I did build your own where you choose your greens and 4 toppings. Overall not too bad

Verde really does a nice job. The food is always fresh. The staff is super friendly and does a pretty nice job of managing the surge. They are making everything on the spot and they have the system down to a science. Even on a busy day, you can make it through the line in 5-7 minutes. It's nice that they say hello when you walk through the door and everybody, at each station, is really friendly. The app that allows you to order in advance and schedule a time is a nice touch as well. My only suggestion would be to offer something besides bread as a side. A lot of people that are eating salads aren't eating bread. Nice work, Verde. Maybe the team from Mozzo next door could come in and let you train them! :)

My sister has been raving about Verde for years, but she never brought me! Driving around for lunch yesterday, we saw Verde and pulled right in. I got the chickpea salad with just a drizzle of dressing and absolutely devoured it. The location was clean, the staff was friendly, and you got a lot of salad for the price. Looking forward to my next visit.

Great selection of delicious healthy salad varieties. Its rare to find a place that can make something so healthy taste so good

This is the closest Verde to me, but I usually avoid Coleman Blvd. because it's been a nightmare for over a year. Most of the road construction problems are now finished in this area, so this location is back on my list. After a recent visit, I discovered that Verde now offers poke bowls!! It's the only poke option on Coleman and a very pleasant surprise. I love the entire concept for Verde. Wraps, salads and poke bowls, just choose from all the ingredients freshly displayed in front of you or order from the list of signature choices. Everything is prepared while you watch. They also sell those fantastic salad choppers!! Love those gadgets!! It's not my choice of parking lots... a little tight.

Decided to try this good rated salad place on a Sunday afternoon. No one was in here except for two employees. One of them was super friendly and helpful. The other looked like she didn't want to be there. I decided to get two salads because I couldn't choose between two and the drive is far so who knows when I would be back. I got the chickpea as one and the warmed Farro as the other. The chickpea salad with tahini lemon dressing was really lemony! I had them mix in the dressing and chop it up. It didn't have much toppings in it as it was mostly lettuce and cheese. It was decent enough or as my my husband put it "a salad you could make at home." Moving on to the warm farro. I really liked my first two bites. The dressing wasn't too vinegary and perfect for the salad. It wasn't until my husband took a bite did we notice how under cooked the farro was. I tried to make my way through the salad but ever couple bites i was crunching on either raw farro or really really burnt farro. So disappointing!! And let me tell you it hurts biting into that stuff. If all the farro was cooked it would have been a great salad. Maybe we will come back and try it again but definitely staying away from the farro.

Good solid option for a healthy quick lunch or dinner. My wife eats here at least once a week.

The salads here are so flavorful and the variety is awesome! They're a craving you can feel good about (yes I know that sounded like a cheesy advertisement but it's true.) I've only been to this location but I love how open it is, plenty of seating and it's a comfortable space to have lunch in. This is one of my favorite lunch spots. The staff are always nice. On my last visit Terrell was super friendly!

Since moving to the Charleston area about five months ago, I've had a couple of salads from Verde and can definitely say I'm a fan! While you can choose ingredients and build your own, their signature salads are a great way to go. Not only does it take away the trouble of deciding what to add, but their combinations of ingredients are fantastic. Lots of flavor, fresh and filling. You get a really hefty portion (and the option to include a chunk of bread) and it truly does fill you up. For the price, it may seem a little expensive at first, but it would honestly cost a lot more to buy each ingredient and make it yourself. So, just go for it! And, if you're more in the mood for a meal you can hold onto, you can have your salad wrapped up into a tortilla. Today was Verde's fifth birthday celebration and they had a packed house. All locations across the Charleston area offered their signature meals for $3.65 -- what a deal. And apparently everyone in town thought so, because the lines were LONG. But Verde was prepared for the turnout and had a full force working behind the counter and keeping things clean and tidy in the dining area. And the line moved as quick as possible. Very impressive. Even if you can't score a great discount on a salad, its still very worth a visit. Definitely check them out!

Verde is my favorite lunch spot in the Charleston area. All of the locations are usually slammed at lunch hour though (consider yourself warned). This place is quick + healthy spot for salads with their dressings even being guilt free! (most of them are vegan). I typically build my own salad because you can get super specific with the salad base (i.e. choose 2 greens to mix). Last time I was in, I built my own with half spinach & kale, double mushrooms (these are seriously addicting...not sure what they do to them), spicy broccoli (this is seasonal), cherry tomatoes, roasted turkey. and the creamy poblano dressing. In my opinion, the roasted turkey is 100X's more moist/flavorful when compared to the roasted chicken. I've also tried the Mesa Verde salad off of the menu, which is a great salad if you're feeling something southwestern.

Never in the history of Woody, have I ever been satiated by a salad...until now. These voluminous greens are prepared fresh and are deliciously crisp. I recommend the Mesa Verde and sub in roasted shrimp. The clientele are lean & pretty...The staff too...also, they are so nice, it's kinda strange. Still full and pretty sure I won't have to worry about finding a cookie in the next hour or so.

This restaurant demonstrates that when there is an unfilled need in the market, a good business plan well - executed will be a success. The unfilled need is a place that efficiently serves a healthy lunch at a reasonable cost. Verde has executed the plan and, voila, they are a restaurant success story. The food is fresh and good for you (where else in Mt. Pleasant can you get kale for lunch?). The staff is friendly and they really seem passionate about their business and making sure you are satisfied with their product. I'd give it 5 stars except I really don't like crushed ice served in restaurants. I prefer cubed ice - weird, I know.

The salads are good the only only downside is that if you don't tip them at least 20% you'll get a half portion I ordered multiple times and had this happen to me every single time ... unfortunately for the brand since the quality is good

What a great little spot! My boyfriend and I were out shopping and looking for a place to grab a bite to eat, but not weigh us down. Verde was the perfect choice! The interior is soooo cute! Green is my favorite color and boy is there a lot of it here (hence, verde I guess). Very bright, fresh, and modern. We both ordered the Curried Beet salad with the Curried Vinaigrette dressing. He got in in a bowl, I ordered a wrap. Everything about this was kick ass, except that it was really salty, Maybe I just should have asked for light dressing (since I usually only use 1/4 of what most people prefer on their salad). Will definitely stop in here again next year on vacation!

This spot is the most delicious, guilt free, fast and friendly spot. Conveniently located on my direct route home from work I've already filled up two frequent cards and they have only been open a few months. I've tried just about everything on the menu at this point! The best part about this place is that you can trust them and get something that they've created (I've never had one I didn't like) or pull a DIY and create whatever salad your heart desires with the plethora of fresh ingredients and homemade dressings. They'll even put your whole creation in a wrap if you want, but I always go for the chopped salad. You can also try a delicious all natural soda, tea or drink of the month (which was recently this amazing strawberry limeade) Don't forget a homemade chocolate chip sea salt coffee since you feel so good for eating salad ;)

What a great find! We have been looking for a good restaurant which has a nice variety of salads, and this is it. The interior is set up like a sandwich shop, order on one end, pay on other, then tables inside & out to enjoy. The menu board is above, and there are like 9 Verde Signature Creation salads to choose from. Or you can make your own from a huge selection of greens, veggies, protein, and dressings. The Signature Creations have really nice selections, we decided on the Southern Harvest and Soy Bien, loved both. You then can get your salad tossed, chopped or wrapped. The servings are large and will fill you up. The staff was friendly and worked efficiently to get the orders done. We loved Verde, and will be back to try more.

Im not a crunchy granola type but this place has awesome salads. They will slso wrap your salad for a kick ass lunch. Very healthy options in a clean enviroment. Keep up the good work.

As a first timer. I was not greeted when I came in... I wasn't sure what to order and the menu isn't quite clear. $14 for wrap and a bottled water and I wasn't even given napkins for a Togo order. I had asked for my wrap to be cut and it was not. Things got messy. Now, the good part, the wrap is good and the place is clean. That to me is the up most important. BUT in all honesty if you want my money ... you need to be inviting and friendly. Bonus for some, They do have a pick up spot for online orders.

Have never been disappointed! Doing a Whole30 cleanse this month and verde is one of the only places to eat out. Super pumped to have a break from cooking!! Great service, great atmosphere. Our server was hilarious and informative!! You can tell she enjoys working here. Will definitely be back!

My wife and I are regulars at all of the Verde locations and for good reason. Their salads aren't just good they're great. The owner always greets with a smile and a good pun when she's there. This is our preferred location to go to even when we're downtown. Parking is so much easier so even if we're on King St. we'll take the time to drive across the bridge. Lettuce give thanks for places like this! I still have my fingers and toes crossed that they'll open up a Summerville or North Charleston location..

Great fresh salad. I was so psyched to find this place while visiting Mt Pleasant. We have a tons of these types of places in NYC and I was hoping I would find one while on vacation. You need a place like this to take a break from all of the sinful food you can find here. The greens were fresh. They didn't charge extra to mix kale with arugula with romaine like most places do. The manager was super friendly and gracious. I will definitely try and make it here again.

If your in the mood for a healthy option for breakfast lunch or dinner look no further. They have a variety of creations to please any palate while offering the option to create your own. Whether you want it as a salad or wrap everything I have tried has been great. Also offer punch card for frequent attendees like myself.

How is this the first time I'm ever eating here??!!! I forgot to pack my lunch and needed a quick vegetarian friendly place I could dine at. I searched for vegetarian options and this gem popped up. I always check out the menu beforehand to get an idea of what I can (or can't eat) and I was amazed by the numerous options I could order from. Every option could be a salad or a wrap. I decided to take my chance on selecting the buffalo cauliflower (requested for no chicken) and asked for it to be a wrap. This wasn't a small wrap either. I could hardly eat the whole thing. I'll definitely be coming back again. I love that this place serves fresh food and prepared right in front of you.

Love it, fresh, wholesome, not the usual, friendly, great value, homemade drinks, bright interior. If you like Chopd in DC, you'll love this Lowcountry substitute. A favorite.

I have been craving a great salad place in Charleston, SC. Verde is it! This place takes a very unique approach to a healthy lunch with tossed salads, chopped salads, and wraps. The ingredients are fresh and delicious, rather than that bagged salad mix that you find in the grocery stores. If you want kale, you can get kale. If you want dark greens, you can get dark greens. The salad dressing options are so appealing, but I was so excited to try the sweet tea vinegarette. I was SO happy that when I wanted avocado, I got a fresh avocado cut in front of me. I was so blown away when I had options of what to do with my salad. I chose to get it chopped, which was a cool experience to watch. The soda selections included a lot of Boylan Soda, which is always delicious. The portions were filling and I look forward to going back for more!

Fills me up! I love eating from this place because of the wide variety on the menu and the great customer service! My only critique would be to expand vegan dressing options and to make them more flavorful, but other than that it's fantastic!

Just had some of the BEST customer service I have ever experienced, here. I ordered my salad online and went to the wrong location (I'm terrible with directions.) The manager working called the other store to cancel my order there, as the sweet lady started my salad, after confirming my order. I felt so bad but they assured me I was fine. They were so friendly and my salad is AMAZING. The whole experience has made my Tuesday :)

Simply put, I love Verde. If you've never been before, it's the Chipotle of salads. You really can't go wrong. It's a bit pricey but the ingredients are top-notch and fresh. You can go in here with the best intentions but I must warn you, you might walk out having consumed 1,000+ calories. Bacon, avocado, hard-boiled egg, you can have it all...don't say I didn't warn ya. If you're on Coleman, hit it up!
