Asian chicken salad to go
Lisa C.

I love Greens & Grains when I don't feel like cooking and want to eat healthy. They have several salads that I love to eat in rotation. Their steak and blue cheese salad is to die for! It comes with Tri-tip, green beans, potatoes, tomatoes, red onion and radishes and creamy blue cheese dressing. So darn good! Don't be afraid to ask for extra dressing on the side to go. They will definitely accommodate. Their Asian chicken salad is also very yummy as well as their chicken and Cesar kale salads. Their soups are very good as well. They usually have two different options every day, one more on the healthier side and the other more hardy and full of flavor. They also offer prepackaged sandwiches and the chicken salad and tuna salad are solid choices. But lately, I must say their soup game has been off. As of late the soups are a little less healthy. I tried the lasagna soup and it was full of cream and pasta and not in a good way. This great to-go eatery is located inside Alameda Natural Grocery. They don't have a dedicated seating area but there are a few small tables inside near the grocery side of the Market Hall. They can be a bit pricey mostly because use all organic food ingredients. Alameda Natural Grocery has a parking lot with plenty of stalls along with street parking. Open until 8PM everyday except Sunday when they close early at 7pm.

Chicken enchiladas $12

Still consistently great after all these years. Haven't been by as much since cooking much more at home. But I was traveling locally for work - checked the options nearby the Airbnb and then decided I should just get something healthy, simple and pop in the fridge. G&G popped in mind. And now they offer online ordering! How convenient! Just tell them your name. Yes that easy! There was a slight mishap but the owner was around and more than made up for it without my prompting. So impressive. Organic, real food and so filling! The full salad was HUGE and the green goddess dressing just as delectable as I remembered. Every bite of salad had a grain, seed, veggie varietal and a bit of feta in each bite. Their ratios are JUST enough that you get that zip of flavor and texture. I can never replicate their secret formula at home. Rotisserie continues to be one of the best - juicy and seasoned but not salty. What a gem we have on the island - prob one of a handful of food establishments here that don't give me the dreaded phlegm after I eat. If you want to experience a high quality deli - come here, there's a reason why they have flourished for so long and continue to.

Kale Caesar salad with anchovies, macaroni and cheese, the last chicken sandwich of the day
Kendra F.

This is going to be the Saturday I catch up on reviews, and after trying Greens & Grains today it only makes sense to write what I've tried most recently. It was a day full of errands for me today and near the end of them I ended up in Alameda. It l's been one of those days where I stayed hydrated but hunger hit me like a brick in the stomach around 3pm. I wanted a salad and yelped some salad places nearby. Greens & Grains popped up with plenty of reviews about the kale Caesar salad soo I figured why not. It's about a 7 minute drive from Alameda Landing and it's located inside Alameda Marketplace. I lucked up with parking on the street right by the entrance. I ordered the kale Caesar salad, chicken salad sandwich, and macaroni and cheese. The Mac and cheese was a 1 on a scale of 1-5. Those onions ruined it for me. I'm not used to that. The kale Caesar salad was a 4 for me. I opted to add the anchovies but I'll pass next time. They're just too fishy for me, and I call myself a seafood lover. I also should have asked for them to keep the croutons out of it. The thing is, I hate croutons, but these were manageable because they softened. Croutons add too much crunch to salads in my opinion, buuut overall it was just too many in there for me. So that's my bad. I got the last chicken salad sandwich and it was pretty good. I can tell it's popular based on it being the last one, and i like the leafy greens inside of it. Overall I'd give Greens & Grains a 3.5, but I am interested in trying their vegan curry. Also, the service was pleasant.

G&G half salad
Veronica L.

Healthy salad place - great for lunch. You can build your own custom salad or choose from their menu. I got the G&G House salad which has beets and pickled onions. They also have ready made pasta and chicken salad and rotisserie chicken. Wish the line moved faster but the salads are made to order so that means it takes longer. Enjoyed the fresh ingredients and $11.50 was a good price for the half salad which was more than enough for lunch.

Food was fine until I found rocks in it.. :( I ordered a G&G House salad, which was great. But a few bites in, my teeth started crunching against something. I figured maybe it's salt or extra hard lentils? So I spat out that mouthful and kept eating. Then halfway through, I ran into these two bits of rocks, and I was kind of mildly horrified. They're definitely grains of rock or sand, and they almost chipped my back teeth. I ended up throwing the rest away. I know that sometimes grit gets into ingredients but this is too much.

Extra protein that I did not order!
S C.

Extra protein? Did they wash and rinse their veggies? I love their salads but I am not sure if I like anything crawling out of my food. :(

The bread was super fresh--soft on the inside with just the right amount of crunch on the outside. You can tell they don't cut corners with quality. The meats were just as impressive--fresh, flavorful, and stacked perfectly. Every bite had a great balance of meats, cheese, and toppings. Nothing was overpowering, and everything tasted clean and well-made. What really stood out to me was how fresh everything tasted. It didn't feel like a rushed sandwich--it felt like it was made with care. If you're looking for a solid Italian sub with fresh bread and high-quality meat, Brothers Deli is definitely the spot. I'll for sure be coming back.

I really shouldn't single them out because I've noticed that a lot of the east bay delis have the same type of bread, but I will say that it just wasn't my taste. The rolls (I got the Dutch Crunch, sourdough roll, and the soft roll) were not that great and --like I said-- maybe it's the same vendors everyone uses in the east bay. For the cost, I'm not too enthused to try the other options. Every time I passed by their spot, it's busy, so I figured I'd try it. It's just not for me, but people seem to like it. ‍

The first time I went with my toddler and I was in a wheelchair after ankle surgery. We ordered food, the cashier said I would get a text, and we picked a table. 49 minutes later I wheeled up and asked if our grilled cheese, popcorn chicken, and tater tots would be ready soon. The cashier was on his phone and said "did you even check your messages? That order's been ready for a while now." I look inside and it's been shoved to the side. A nice lady handed me the tray and the grilled cheese is cold. I told the cashier and he just shrugged. Then I'm in the wheelchair with the tray on my lap, but I can't wheel and carry a tray. I asked the cashier for help. Since I'm interrupting him from his cell phone again, he makes a big deal of sighing then asking the lady inside to help me. The chicken was mostly breading. Fries didn't seem salted. I gave the cold grilled cheese to my dogs when I got home. Every time we have gone since then, there are a ton of kids running around. But there isn't a kids menu. I don't want to buy a 5-year-old crummy chicken or an overpriced burger. Now we leave and grab sushi then come back. The vast majority of my friends are disappointed in Southie as well. Park Station, please get a better food partner!

The staff was cordial and friendly, and the chicken-themed decor, charming. Now it IS a chicken joint, the go-to chicken spot for my full carnivore friend. He loves them for their chicken, their inexpensive menu and their large portions. I'm mostly pescatarian, though I do sometimes cheat with bacon. (I always feel SO guilty afterwards too!) I ordered the honey mustard salad with bacon and no chicken. My friend ordered the chicken Mac n cheese and tater tots. The bill came up to $30, and the portions were good on on the salad, GREAT on the tater tots and decent on the chicken mac. I can't speak personally on the chicken but my friend says it's amazing. I tasted some of his Mac n cheese with no chicken, and it was really good and flavorful, nice and cheesy. I tasted his tater tots. They were plentiful, well-seasoned and fried to golden perfection, with a nice crunch. I ate all of my salad.

About 10 minutes later the server brought what looked like our food to the only other table at the restaurant. The pair sitting there brought it back to the server as it wasn't what they ordered. Our server apologetically just handed us the food that another pair had inspected and returned (they said they didn't touch it). No napkins, fries, or ketchup for the fries. I went to the counter and asked for napkins and fries and politely asked about our fries. They apologized and said it would come right out. My sandwich bread turned out to be fairly burned, and it tasted burned. Towards the end of finishing our sandwiches (about 20 minutes after I ordered and 10 minutes after I asked about the fries), I asked if my fries could be to-go. The friendly server was again apologetic and said they would check on it. A minute later they came out with a box of fries and apologized they they had been forgotten about in the kitchen. They were no longer hot. I was disappointed with my most recent trip.

They strike the ideal balance between protein and fresh vegetables. Whether you're grabbing a quick sandwich or trying their other offerings like the Combo Rice Plate, Lemongrass Beef, and Grilled Chicken Vermicelli (a bit drier side on the chicken). Stop by, say hello to Mimi, and enjoy some truly great Vietnamese food! Highly recommended.
