    Classic Dig
    Mary G.

    We wanted a new place with reasonable prices, and simple, fresh ingredients that weren't "fussed with" and were not vegan/vegetarian. Not easy, but we found Dig Inn. Wise choice! We got the Classic Dig - Charred chicken, roasted sweet potatoes, charred broccoli with lemon, brown rice, with garlic aioli on the side. My dining companion paid the ultimate compliment: "the chicken keeps getting better the more I eat it." My personal fave is the sweet potato. I'd like a bit less charring on the very fresh broccoli, but everything was yummy, even the brown rice. And very generous portions of everything, it's lunch for me tomorrow. A variety of sauce options, including ubiquitous garlic aioli, weren't needed since the food is delicious on its own, but I say go for it. And the menu gives calorie counts which would otherwise be a real pain to calculate. Well balanced flavors, not oversalted. Delivery was to the minute. Packaging is careful. As for ambience, we ate at home, but first I had a very friendly email exchange with a couple of questions - her thoughtfulness really encouraged us to order...and we'll be ordering again.

    ORIGIN: DIG, originally founded by Adam Eskin as Dig Inn Seasonal Market, first emerged in New York City in 2011. Since then an expanding network has dotted the eastern United States, extending as far as south as Virginia. LOCATION: This location is on New York's East 52nd Street and is only open on weekdays. CONCEPT: DIG serves creatively seasoned, nourishing American home style food in a fast food, plant forward format. AMBIANCE: This location lacks a design aesthetic compared to other DIG locations. Outside of the pale pistachio tabletops, the counter of many nearly empty Staub pots, poorly lit kitchen, and plain walls brought to mind the starkness of a hospital cafeteria. FOOD: As always since I was first introduced to DIG last year during a Connecticut Yelp experience, DIG is a destination I look out for when traveling and looking for a quick, nourishing, and flavorful dinner. I was staying in midtown for a couple of days to accompany a friend as her husband underwent a complex heart surgery. Picking up dinner and bringing back to hotel room kitchen was ideal for our situation. That said, this location appears to get little business in the evening, likely primarily serving the decreased population of people who "work from office". As a result, it was clear in both appearance and taste that the chicken had been kept warm for some time, as it was not as moist as chicken dishes I have experienced at other locations. The custom bottled ginger mint lemonade appeared to have been sitting around too long as it was beginning to ferment. I did get to try the chocolate chip cookie as a gift from the person who worked the register on one of the nights. This appeared to be in effort to make up for the wait as the kitchen prepared mashed potatoes for the new crispy Chicken & Ranch plate I looked to try. The cookie was attractive and chewy, with flavor amplified with a sprinkle of salt flakes on the top. SERVICE: The service I experienced at this location was neither informative nor enthusiastic. The person taking my order was unable to tell me about the new chicken plates that were being promoted... just stared at me as if asking about the dishes was unusual. It seems this location may experience less interaction with customers due to popularity of pick up orders. TIPS: Restaurants that had primarily served office workers in many cities have been negatively impacted by the pandemic and subsequent normalization of "work from home". Looking at pre-pandemic photos of this DIG location suggests lines and filled dining tables. As this location does not appear to have fast turn around of dish components in the evening, I suggest choosing from the salad menu, such as the Avo Grain Bowl, at this location and choosing the online order/pick up arrangement. As I will be reviewing two other DIG locations this week, the variation of customer experience will be apparent. This is likely informed by available space and demographics of customers served, but may also reflect uneven or non-standardized operations. Anticipate this variation when choosing a DIG location. Despite these variations, you can expect a fast and generous dinner for a reasonable price (around $13 per person, without beverage). DIG offers catering. I plan on ordering a lunch from DIG during an educational/networking event I am planning at MIT this summer.

    I saw this place and was pretty excited to try it for lunch, but unfortunately it was a bit of a disappointment. The ordering process was rather confusing, as they didn't have labels for what each of the ingredients were, and the servers themselves seemed confused and unable to answer questions. As for the food, I did really enjoy the flavors in the bowl and the sauces, and the salmon was tender and delicious. However, they limit you two sides, a base, and a protein, and the price to add another side is pretty hefty (I think iirc $3 per extra addition). You get more value at places like CAVA where you pay the same amount, but can get unlimited toppings and really load up your bowl.

    I hate to have to give dig a review like this but this location has been a huge let down. Their portion sizes being the reason for all frustrations. Sentiments are the only thing keeping people from realizing how awful Dig is becoming, at least in Midtown. I remember my first dig inn experience, I bet most people do because Dig was once a great deal and always had the best, fresh, healthier food options; much better than other quick style spots for sure. That charred chicken bowl with all the sides and sauces, the nice staff slipping in a free cookie... man, it was unbelievable! Those days are done- I havent been to many other locations in a while and Midtown being my home, I've ordered from this location 3-5 times, friends have too... I'm sad to report that $6 gets you half a small chicken breast, or two broccoli stems... while $16 gets you a bowl of rice with an equal amount of chicken and a sparse looking portion of whichever side you choose; they skimp on the sauce and overcharge for every single thing on the menu. The mac and cheese is dry af which is a shame because it would be great with some cheese sauce... he'll, give me Wendy's Gruyère sauce on top. The charred chicken typically comes with at least one inedible piece I give to the dog. The meatballs (best option on the menu) are small and come three to an order but always have at least one hard bit somewhere in the mix; (the sauce is fantastic but it's hot or miss how much you get of that) The bbq chicken can only be ordered as a side I believe and it's the yummy charred thigh with a tasty bbq sauce ... I enjoyed it The sweet potatoes and CA trots are both great and simple. The "best ever potato salad" - didn't eat it, instead I put it in the food processor with roasted garlic and stirred it in to a pot of instant mashed potatoes... so no, it's not so great as is. The burrata and tomatoes are good, I'm not sure it's worth the price and the same goes for the tasty feta watermelon The steak salad... needs more steak You get the pattern, I'm sure. I've tried almost everything they have to offer, even they're tasty ginger lemonade, and it's clear to me what the deal is (or lack there of) The portions don't fit the price tag, the quality, at least here, isn't what it used to be... and while it all seems to be the same food, it's not the same experience I once coveted in this city. I think they need more options when ordering too, like, if you have a steak salad, where on earth is the option to order the steak, or the cucumbers, or habanero mango dressing separately? Why can't I make a steak and tomato burrata dish for $75 I know prices went up for suppliers, i grocery shop, I get it, but this is actual robbery. You'll see. I have my secret jacks here though for sure....

    You can see for Yourself and tell me if this bowl is worth $15 they charged
    Meghna S.

    Not sure what the positive reviews are for. I paid $15 for this bowl. I had requested half farrow and half greens as the base. The bowl literally had five green leaves and two spoons of farrow, roasted veggies as requested and a small piece of dried salmon. It was made by someone who perhaps has been doing a crash course on saving cents. Have never seen a more ridiculous bowl from Dig and I have been a regular customer.

    Build your own bowl ($15)
    Kammi L.

    Obsessed with DIG. Great place to pick up lunch. The team at the location is attentive and always checks to make sure I get my order as soon as possible. Would recommend to order on the app or online for pick up because the lines gets pretty long during long hours. Would skip the flourless brownie, a little too salty. My order: Farm greens with mint, roasted sweet potatoes, cauliflower with garlic and parmesan, hot honey chicken, garlic aioli, cashew caesar dressing

    I went the Prince St. Location in NYC. I had the roasted sweet potatoes, Broccoli and Greek salad. Everything was tasty and fresh! Loved it.

    Disappointing side order and brownie
    Jiayi L.

    Sadly Dig is going down on my list. I have tried it a few times and it wasn't bad but just today I went to get a side and brownie and was very disappointed in the quantity. Overall their food tastes good but I would say the amount given is not worth the price. I got a side of broccoli which looks great in the photos on the menu and filled up but in reality was less than half of the bowl. Def not worth $5. I also got the brownie and for something that is almost $3 was expecting it to be thicker and at least a good size square. Their coupons overall are good and help but still almost not worth it.
