So called "grain bowl"
Creig A.

It's nice to have options for fresh vegetables in downtown but somehow Green+Grain never hits the mark for me. All the ingredients seem like they're run through a food processor that cuts everything the same small cube size. The so called grain bowl is stuffed with salad, so I have no idea why they call it a grain bowl. Where is Crisp & Green when you need them ?

Chinese Chicken - Small

These are the best salads in the TC in my opinion! They're fresh and quality ingredients, plus an extensive menu that also includes a BYO option. You're also able to make any salad into a wrap. This is our go-to in-office lunch. We were able to get delivery in North Loop in about an hour for 10 salads! I am never disappointed by my meal here. It can be a little pricey, but I feel the quality of the ingredients are worth it.

Green & The Grain Catering

Had Green and The Grain for the first time as it was catered for my friend's baby shower and became a fan at first sight and first bite! I was impressed by the assortment laid out for us to choose from. I had The Farmer salad and completely cleaned my bowl! Their salads are so fresh and delicious! I enjoyed every bite and so did the rest of the shower party. It was fun to hear what everyone else selected. Sounded like every salad was scrumptious and that you can't really go wrong with any of them! Such a great idea to get this catered for showers or parties since it's so easy and simple to set up yet offers a variety of options for each person to grab and go. Also was a great crowd pleaser! It also introduced me to this great place and now I want to try more and will totally keep them in mind for catering events! If you have a party or small gathering you'd want catering for, I highly recommend ordering here. Hassle free and oh so fresh and yummy! There's something for everyone.

Santorini - Small

I don't often eat salad at restaurants, but this is one of the exceptions. What makes this spot different from the others is how everything is cut & the variety. You're not given huge slices of lettuce and light toppings, everything is proportionate. The dressings are also incredible, light and flavorful. My favorite salads are the Santorini & the Cowboy. As far as accessibility, I'd say it's fine as a majority of the locations are in the skyways, but you can order delivery or visit the traveling food truck. Overall, G&G is amazing and definitely worth a try!

Cowboy - Small
Maddy R.

This is the BEST salad you can get in the Midwest. I've been obsessed with Green + The Grain since I started working in Minneapolis in 2019. Not only are their salads good (I would highly recommend the Cowboy), but their staff is so friendly and energetic. I can say with confidence that I've never had a bad experience or a bad salad in my multiple times going there. I would highly HIGHLY recommend!!

Long lines at lunch are worth it. Great variety of salad options to choose from. Solid & healthy choice!

Buffalo shrimp

Get here by 11:30am to beat the lunch rush! or if you can wait for after 12:45... I usually take my lunch and go because although the place has seating it could not realistically accommodate the amount of people it attracts during the lunch hour. I think their communal style table is cute but I hardly ever see people sit there. It is so well manicured looking that it reminds you more of a set than a place you would want to sit down and indulge in your salad or wrap. I adore the assembly line style where your salad maker carries you through the whole process util you get to the cashier. I have not have any wraps here but highly recommend the Buffalo Shrimp salad which is yummy! But the Classic Chicken Caesar (with olives) is my absolute favorite from here!

The salads are very tasty, but they can approach $20 with tax and tip which makes it unaffordable for most.

*AMAZING pizza, great vibes*…read more I have not stopped raving about this pizza since the first time I tried it in 2023! It has such a unique and amazing flavor, with a crispy crust. The empanadas are also delicious. Service is always quick and friendly. The atmosphere in the downtown Minneapolis location is also great.

I was immediately uncomfortable when I arrived because the first thing I encountered was a woman…read morethey hired, greeting us outside in an extremely revealing outfit, with sequin pasties and a thong-style costume. She then made her rounds around the restaurant, the two hours I was there. I found the presentation completely inappropriate for a restaurant. It felt more like something you would see at a strip club or Vegas nightlife venue than at a restaurant, and it was especially jarring at a 5 PM event. Honestly, I would have found it inappropriate regardless of the time. I'm Latina and all for a good, sexy time. But there is a time and place for everything. Beyond that, the restaurant was extremely crowded and hot, and they were already running out of food. Given the number of people there, the food situation was poorly handled. I also had an issue with my drink charge. It was listed as $9, but I was charged over $11, while my friend was charged only $10 for hers. That inconsistency was frustrating. Unfortunately, between the uncomfortable atmosphere, extreme crowding, heat, lack of food, and billing discrepancy, this was a very disappointing experience. I've since seen other reviews mentioning long waits, and after experiencing the chaos myself, I can understand why.

Stopped here to do birthday desserts!! Here are the key things to note!…read more Free parking Great patio!! It was covered and the flowers around this place are gorgeous!! You are looking out to a street but the flowers REALLY make up for that! There is inside seating as well, table and chairs. You walk up and order. The desserts and separate from the main course items. I appreciated that! Made the lines go faster. The service on the other hand was lacking. I stood there waiting while 2 people had a convo and I felt ignored. I dropped a star for that reason. The key lime pie and dirt cup were very tasty!! This place is known for its "pattiecake" but I just felt it was a regular chocolate cake with frosting. They have plenty of desserts though! Overall this place gives "up scale Panera vibes" and I liked it! I would go back!

After several visits over the last few years, here are my thoughts…read more -Lots of seating! If you're looking for a table indoors and the main area is packed, head to the back (towards bathrooms) where you'll find two rooms with additional seating which are usually quieter. - I tend to go for sandwiches, which include house made chips. Honestly, when I first went, I wasn't a fan of the chips, but it didn't take long for me to like them. Once while dining in, I found that most of them were just tiny bits. Well when the waiter came to ask how things were, I told/showed him... just as an FYI, not expecting anything. Well, he kindly brought me a bag to replace them. -The staff is mostly kind, with two male waiters/runners being especially nice and helpful. While myself or others are waiting they'll give friendly smiles, see if you need anything in the meantime. I like them! - Although I go mainly for the sandwiches, (my favorite being the Southwest Chicken Panini available in the Fall), I also like the mac and cheese and fries. I used to love the coconut cake, but something about the last one I bought tasted different. The filling and the cake texture... weren't as tasty as I remember. During my last visit I tried, the Reuben. Not for me, but they have lots of other things to try.

The service here is ridiculously fast for the lunch crowd, so quick you will think they started…read morecooking when you walked in. The cornbread is an amazing dish and their smash burgers are also very tasty. On top of it all the server slipped and spilled some food which was not an issue but the manager rushed over to ask if she could help. Not necessary but it was great to see.

While staying at the Royal Sonesta hotel for a conference, I dined at the Wood + Paddle Eatery two…read moretimes during my stay. Wood + Paddle is located inside of the Royal, it's their hotel restaurant. On my first night in Minneapolis, I'd arrived to the hotel for check-in around dinner time. Not sure where to go and tired from the flight, I headed down to the lobby and walked over. When I asked if I could get a table for 1, she asked me if I would be comfortable with eating at the bar. It was a Sunday night, so I think she wanted to reserve tables for parties of two or more. I was fine with it, but I noticed there were quite a few empty tables. A few days later, I had lunch with a colleague here. We got seated at a table, and the service was really good. Our waiter was attentive and made sure we kept our lunch within our time requirements so we could get back to the conference without issue. The food was really good. I tried to order or sample local or MN specialties during my trip. Below are the menu items that I tried: - Bison Burger with Fries - State Fair Cheese Curds (w/ house made, smoked ketchup) - Pork Chop (w/ a Norwegian inspired sauce) - Habanero Wings
