I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!…read more For this week's vegetarian/vegan/gluten-free theme, I picked Chopt Creative Salad Co., and I honestly love it. I'm not fully vegetarian or vegan, but I really appreciate having options that feel fresh and not heavy. Every time I go, everything just tastes clean. Nothing feels overly processed or greasy, and I don't leave with that "why did I eat that" feeling. What stands out to me is how easy it is to build something without meat and still feel satisfied. They have plenty of plant-based proteins, grains, and toppings that actually have flavor. It doesn't feel like you're just eating lettuce. I also like that you can customize everything exactly how you want it. I usually order the Farm Bowl (I think that's what it's called) with almonds, apples, sweet potatoes, goat cheese, and chicken. I always get the dressing on the side and swap the goat cheese for tomatoes. The mix of sweet potatoes and apples with the crunch from the almonds is so good. And honestly? It would be just as good without the chicken, which I love because it shows you don't need meat for it to feel filling. The vibe is simple and modern, and it's a good spot for a quick lunch. Service is always splendid! Overall, it's one of my favorite healthier options because I feel energized after eating there instead of sluggish. I'd definitely recommend it if you're looking for something fresh and lighter.

Something I absolutely love? Korean BBQ…read more Something that's good for me that I also really like? Salad. Put them together = Korean BBQ Salad! Sounds weird, but is absolutely delightful! The Korean BBQ Salad here is loaded up with your fave protein (I picked Korean BBQ chicken), fresh greens, wild rice, bean sprouts, mushrooms, carrots, egg...so many good things! If you're looking for a healthy lunch spot that satisfies you with energy for the rest of the day, definitely try this place and the Korean BBQ Salad! They also have kombucha on tap here that is refreshing and gives you that healthy, alcohol-free buzz that gives you a little boost of energy for the rest of your day.

Let me first say that I usually LOVE Tazikis! My go to food is the veggie gyro with pasta salad and…read morerice. I decided to try a salad and mix it up. I got the Mediterranean salad and added lamb. The lamb was in three small pieces and very tough/chewy. I have had lamb at plenty other places and this is not the texture of lamb. The dressing for the salad was very small and was barely enough to cover the salad. The lettuce and veggies on the salad itself were fresh and tasty. I think more feta needed to be put on a salad of that size, but that's just my personal opinion. It came with only one pita chip. I could have swore when I was reading the description of the menu it said you got three pita chips? Either way, was a little disappointed. I did eat the salad, but none of the lamb after the first bite because it was hard to chew. My boyfriend got a lamb gyro and his lamb was shredded and said it was very good! May be they use different types on salads vs gyros? Next time I'll stick to my usual. Also think there should be more than Splenda sweetener options at the beverage station. Sweet n low or stevia would be nice. Restaurant and bathrooms were clean and employees were friendly!

The servers were really nice and friendly. The butternut squash soup was really nice thick and creamy. I felt like the portions were just right and I did not feel like anything was too greasy. It is a great place to eat with your friend or significant other. I thought it was a very cool vibe and matched the name of the restaurant! Because this is located downtown, there is street parking, or there is a parking garage down the road where you can park.

Parking was a bit difficult on this day, but that's to be expected with the holiday shopping traffic. I love Brick & Tin. It's upscale Panera in the best way. Their brisket sandwich and soups are absolutely incredible. I always recommend this place if you're looking for a nice, fast-casual lunch. I got the farro half salad and added chicken. This was the perfect lunch. Great flavor, squash, some greens, farro to keep you full (I believe this is an ancient grain), I feel like I checked every box on being healthy for the day. The dressing is delicious and not overdone. They've got bar seating, two tables for larger groups, and then booth seating along the walls. It's a farm-to-table vibe in here, and the food certainly matches. I've never been disappointed by anything from here. I need to try out their downtown location next!

The pink drink I enjoyed, but the breakfast burrito I will not be getting again. It lacked flavor to me. My friend Linh ordered grits that looked good.

Soup changes daily and this day was chickpea and chorizo. Nothing life changing about it but it wasn't bad. We walked into a small, dark, crowded dive bar and ordered amongst several other people after waiting in line shoulder to shoulder with other customers. I say this not to complain (because with a crowd like this on a random weekday, they're obviously doing something right) but to take your kids in car seats (‍) with caution. Crowds in small spaces stress me out and it would have been even worse if we'd had the boys with us. I'd also highly suggest going on a day when you can sit outside. There's very minimal seating inside. They do have a lovely, spacious patio that also feels like a garden with plenty of trees for shade. However, they make it clear they don't want dogs there. Parking was horrific. A narrow street with cars on each side. We barely fit through it. If there wouldn't have been an open spot on it, I'm not sure what the next option is because I didn't see anywhere else and this street only held so many. I would dine here again because the sandwiches were fresh and delicious and they obviously know what they're doing! I was pleasantly surprised that they had prosecco as well. Just heed my few warnings and you'll enjoy as well!
