    Ahh..Greek out bowl
    Amanda A.

    My husband and I tried it for the first time today at lunch. The staff were very nice and accommodating. Ordering was easy, the restaurant was clean but a little loud, metal chairs scraping the floor, but that's is definitely not a restaurant issue just a personal issue. The veggies in the bowls were very fresh and delicious. We will definitely be back.

    Since getting back on the health train, I've been wanting to try this place. Finally stopped by for lunch the other day & wish I went earlier! Walking in to an open atmosphere & seeing all the ingredients was neat. Everything was so fresh, workers were welcoming & answered all my questions. I love that they post the nutritional value & have options for everyone. I'll definitely be going more often!

    Golden Hour Curry
    Risha S.

    The concept is exactly the same to a sweet green, a salad chain from the East Coast. I love that they brought this back to West Des Moines! Service is quick and convenient and functions similar to a chipotle order line. Overall the atmosphere is fresh and vibrant and the staff is really enthusiastic. The place has great healthy options packed with protein. I got the Golden Hour Curry bowl, which is my new favorite! It has chicken, black rice, spinach, and various roasted veggies. I swapped the golden raisins for jalapeños to add some heat. Highly recommend and if you love it, join their rewards program through their app.

    LTO HONEY SPICE & EVERYTHING NICE salad
    Sumita B.

    I was looking for a place for a healthier fast food option and came across this place. As we walked in, we were greeted. This was our first time here, so we were trying to figure the menu out. We told the person at front that we have never been before and asked for recommendations. The person recommended the popular items but never mentioned you could create your own. There are several standard salads and bowls to choose from. Otherwise, you can make your own creation as well. Standard base, add-ins, and protein are included in a certain price. Overall, there are lots of healthy options to choose from. I would definitely come back again to try something different. There are plenty of seating area and water/ice station. Two salads and a smoothie came out to about $36 for lunch.

    Wild Child
    Andrew P.

    Consistently high quality fast casual salad chain. This location had hustle and bustle during the lunch rush, but the staff had it all under control :) The salads always taste fresh and tasty. Seating did get a bit tight inside, so would recommend taking to go unless you're coming on off hours. I ordered the Wild Child, a seasonal warm grain bowl. The spicy arugula was balanced by the dressing. The chicken was cooked right and seamlessly blended in as the protein option. The wild rice was nutty and relatively soft for what it is. Would order again.

    a salad in a white bowl

    We stopped here for lunch. It's a short drive off Hwy 80 so a nice stop when you are traveling. It was quite busy and the line to order never really went down. I chose a build your own salad and basically built a Greek salad. Wish they would have that option on the menu. By the time I added some Kalamata olives and feta cheese the salad was $16. I like the salads and the ingredients are fresh but I find this place to be very expensive for what you get. I think build-your-own should be able to choose from any ingredients for your 4 options, not have to pay an up charge of $1.25 for a tiny scoop of Kalamata olives. And cheese should just be a standard ingredient not another up charge. Would have liked to see staff wiping off tables as well.

    Chicken Bacon Ranch salad
    Lee D.

    We finally had a chance to try this place out and are so glad we did! It can be a bit overwhelming at first - should we try one of their signature salads or grain bowls or a build your own? In the end, I decided on the Fiesta Bowl with some customization: instead of chicken, I added roasted cauliflower (I'm a vegetarian) and I added pickled onions and left off the queso fresco. It was very filling and had a bit of a bite due to the jalapeños and the jalapeño lime vinaigrette. Very yummy! Hubby had the chicken bacon ranch salad and instead of pickled onions, he added craisins. He enjoyed it very much. I love how the bowls/salads can be customized. Staff was very friendly and attentive and the atmosphere was light and bright - just don't scrape your chair on the floor as it makes a screeching noise! We'll definitely be back especially after pool time in the summer!

    Teriyaki bowl
    Kelli R.

    Fresh and delicious! Think Subway but better ingredients and all salads. The variety makes it hard to make your first choice. We were planning our next visit while we were eating our first salads. Yum! Awesome selection of smoothies and aqua fresco. The pineapple ginger was fantastic. We tried the teriyaki and the Greek options. Both very good. Welcome to town!!

    Stephanie P.

    This place is wonderful! The food is fresh and the staff are so helpful and friendly. It is bright and cheerful and you would never know it was a converted convenience store.we had a Greek grain bowl and a Thai salad both were huge with flavor and size. I really can't wait to return to get an açaí bowl and try some of the other offerings. So happy they came to market. We were missing this.

    Fiesta Bowl with quinoa
    Brady W.

    The Fiesta Bowl and Big island was recommended by the staff, All I have to say is I'm full and it was delicious. Experience was 10/10 I will be back! So much better than fast food

    The bold and buffalo
    Gary S.

    First time trying this place, and the flavor of the salads is wonderful. I had the bold and the buffalo my date had the fiesta bowl. Both salads are amazing, the staff are extremely efficient and friendly. The restaurant is very clean although I will add that the design makes it very loud inside.

    AHH... GREEK OUT
    Sabas H.

    Great recommendations from staff regarding my first time visit. I got the AHH...GREEK OUT and the pomegranate lemon drink.

We were just here a few weeks ago and I am so bummed to see they permanently closed!! We came during lunch and took advantage of their weekday lunch combo (Tues-Fri, 11am-2pm), which includes soup and a half grilled cheese. You can choose from the OG, Kick in the Cheese, or Fancy grilled cheese, plus either tomato basil bisque or the soup of the day. Honestly? A dream setup. I ordered the tomato basil bisque with a half OG grilled cheese, and wow... just wow. The soup was rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, and the grilled cheese delivered that classic, beautiful cheese pull moment you hope for (and rarely actually get). The cheese had the perfect amount of sharpness and subtle bitterness, balancing everything out so well without being overwhelming.. I seriously could go for one right now! Every bite was comforting and delicious, and I immediately wished I had ordered a full OG sandwich because it was that good. The combo was mouth‑watering, satisfying, and wildly exceeded expectations for a quick lunch stop.

We were greeted and asked if we were dining in (it appears they do a brisk takeout business) and were told to sit where we wanted. It was surprisingly crowded for a Sunday afternoon at 4 pm. The menu is extensive and hubby and I both like Mediterranean food. I chose the Falafel plate, served with five falafel balls, hummus, a pita, and Greek salad. The portion was generous (ended up taking two falafel home). Served with tahini and their house green sauce (olive oil, cilantro, and jalapeño) It wasn't spicy but it was so delicious - I could get addicted to this thinking of all the other ways so could enjoy it!! The Greek salad was served with house dressing - garlic and yogurt, also very good. The falafel was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, and flavorful. The hummus was not at all grainy - smooth but just a tad bland. Hubby had the lamb skewers and liked them very much. Served with rice, salad, and hummus. He also took one of the skewers home. We both had the mango Fresca juice. A bit too sweet for me but I generally drink unsweetened beverages. Hubby liked it a lot. Service was friendly and we were checked on twice to ask how we liked our food.
