Great concept and very nicely setup but the food is too overpriced. I've been to other organic spots with much more reasonable prices for the same amount of food served at Grown. Although the staff is extremely nice and welcoming, the food wasn't exceptional for the price paid. read more

Grown serves good customer service above everything else. The food is good as well, warning*- overpriced. I hope Sharon Walker Williams and Ray Allen appreciate their staff, who make us keep coming back, like Glen and Emily. It's refreshing to be treated well in a Miami climate of apathy. I also hope that some of the proceeds go to either a non profit organization, or in some manner to underprivileged children and/or at risk vulnerable populations because that would add another 2 stars read more

Decided to go the healthy route for my Saturday dinner and ended up at Grown. I will say that this restaurant is stunning. You don't feel like your in Miami but in some cozy home from HGTV. The young lady at the register was really nice and helped us decide on what to order and what is popular on there menu. The concept is you decide whether a salad, sandwich or wrap (wheat) and choice from 6 different pairings or you can cultivate your own. You can add your protein as well for an additional cost. I enjoyed my salad that I cultivated with 5 different toppings. I added chicken breast, but paid a whooping $18?!?! Ummmm I love healthy food and I'm here for organic, but the price was to much. I usually order soup and salad with my meals, that would have taken me an additional $4 for there minestrone. That's $22 for me alone without a drink. My love ordered the rotisserie chicken wrap that ended up being the same price. Luckily for us they have infused water that is complimentary cause who has time for the prices up in here. I would recommend this place if your a real big health nut and have money to splurge for a salad or wrap. The parking was easy and no wait for the food. read more

Great Great great place! Besides being expensive it was more then what I would have expected. Watching the staff which were all pleasant and helpful, make everything fresh on the spot was a big plus. Ordered a lot of things and didn't leave feeling full or bloated. The salad was awesome. The kids menu is amazing! And the salmon burger was impressive. Eating healthy is not cheap but this place was worth every penny! I would and will recommend to everyone! The ambiance of the place is awesome as well. Like a trendy farm. A+ in my book. We will be back 100% read more

As a GROWN-up, I have GROWN very fond of the freshly-GROWN organic food at GROWN! As a matter of fact, if my bank account balance would have GROWN more, I would've been coming here to eat ALL THE TIME! Alas, I am not rich. Therefore, I have GROWN to accept the fact that I must limit myself to an "occasional" splurge here. YES, it is a bit pricey ... but oh-so-worth-it! Excellent cappuccino. Best soup ever. Like, when they say it's some sort of chicken soup (say, chicken tortilla), it REALLY has chicken in it, LOTS of big meaty chunks of chicken!! And when it's supposed to be tomato soup, there's REALLY lots of hearty tomatoes in there! I just love when food establishments are generous with their ingredients. That's how it SHOULD be, EVERYWHERE! Amirite?! The VALUE of what you get here at GROWN justifies the price. Prices range from $4.00 (soup) to $19.00 (salad, wrap, or entrée.) Today I had the Grilled Salmon entrée ($18) with two sides: Sautéed Broccoli and Mediterranean Quinoa Salad. I also got to choose a sauce; there are five to choose from. As per the cashier's recommendation, I chose the Herb Yogurt sauce. Wow, that sauce was so yummy that I ate it by itself! EVERYTHING was so flavorful and fresh! I drank water ... Free flavored water ... They have two clear beverage dispensers at their front entrance, one has water infused with fresh lemons & strawberries, the other with sliced apples & cucumbers. Then ... I sort of ruined my clean, healthy vibe by ordering a chocolate cupcake ($2.68 inc. tax) ... but, hey, it's organic, right?! Haha. Truth is, I have no willpower when it comes to chocolate. ORGANIC FAST-FOOD ... This may sound like an oxymoron ... yet it is the mission (and REALITY) of this farm-to-fork food establishment. Opened in Spring 2016 by Miami resident Shannon Allen and her husband Ray Allen (Yes, the former NBA player Ray Allen), Grown was born out of frustration. The Allens, who have five children, were in search of healthy fast-food for their young son who has Type 1 diabetes. Frustrated that they could not find any local options, they set out to do it themselves and open their own restaurant ... and that's how the idea for GROWN was grown! Service is always friendly and efficient. You are immediately greeted upon entering. The front counter is where you place your order, pay, and receive your food - within four minutes - just like any other fast food locale. They even have a DRIVE-THRU - just like any other fast-food joint. Grown remains the first and only USDA-certified organic fast-food restaurant with a drive-thru on the East Coast. Pretty cool! The Allens opened a few more locations within the past two years, with perhaps the most notable being in the summer of 2017 when they opened a location inside a Walmart Supercenter in Orlando. Their goal is to open many more, and franchises, too, in order to reach as much of our population as possible. They want to make REAL food accessible to the masses. Decor is fresh, clean, cozy and inviting! Outdoor seating is available (YAY!) and it's covered, so you can dine al fresco even when it's raining! You will see a white spiral staircase leading to their roof. Rooftop garden grows fresh herbs ... How cool is THAT?! read more

Never again! I tried this place twice, once inside and once through the drive thru. Definitely overpriced.The platters are more than $15 and not worth it. I understand that the food is fresh and organic, and I have no problem spending the money if I feel it is of good quality. Unfortunately, the food was bland and not what I expected. While in the drive thru, I waited more than 10 minutes to just be acknowledged. I was worried that the speaker wasn't working so I said "hello", but no answer. I waited anyways until someone spoke through the speaker. On way out I realized that I paid $10 for a warm, watered down smoothie. I love finding new health conscious restaurants, but I was not satisfied with my visits at Grown. read more

This is the second review I write for Grown because I just can't get enough of their wild caught salmon and I believe it's as good or better than any you'll get at a fine restaurant. The organic vegetables are always tasty and fresh and I'm delighted to be "a regular" for weekly pick ups. Sometimes several times a week. Yum! read more

Food was so amazing and really fresh! Had Cobb salad w/grilled salmon and ate everything on the plate (which I rarely do)! Service was great from MJ and beyond. They checked on us multiple times to see if we needed anything else. With seating options indoors and out, the entire ambiance was refreshing. read more

So... I have a new breakfast spot This was my first time visiting Grown in the a.m. I ordered the Chocolate Chip Pancakes, Home Fries, the Zen omelet and a fresh squeezed OJ. Everything was exceptional. And I mean everything; the service, the food and the company. We had an enlightening conversation with the owner, Shannon Allen. Her passion for what she does is beyond evident. All in all, Grown is good, healthy food, at fair, reasonable prices. Remember... everything is 100% organic. As a wise person once told me "If someone is selling an organic juice for less than $10, it's definitely not organic. " read more

Visiting my mom from New Jersey, decided to go there to get a fresh pressed juice. I ordered the juice and was handed a pre made one, not freshly pressed for $10 plus tax, it tasted old and stale I can tell I own a juice bar back home for the last 24 years. Worst of all now I have a bad stomach Thanks a lot. Stay away from this place read more

Great scenery and welcoming staff. They didn't have a half and half tea but staff went above and beyond to make one for me. Also they me and my guests a free sample of their smoothie which was really good. 3/5 because the food while was good, wasn't enough for the price I paid. But other than that, good place to try out if you're in the neighborhood. read more

grown - Berry Good! - Organic Stores Near Me - Miami, Florida

Interesting place. Now let me start by saying I am not part of this place's target audience. What got me through their doors was my wife and I gong through a 21-day fast in which we had cut out all meats, most breads, sugars, and we chose to load up on legumes, lentils, vegetables and fish. I lost 12 pounds! Love it! But I digress! We came here and I had the chickpea sandwich, which they told me I won't believe it's not tuna instead! I tried it and it very much tasted like a tuna sandwich, but was all chickpea. I enjoyed it very much. I had it with a side on minstrel soup, which was very flavorful. Sometimes you can tell these soups have been watered down because they don't want to cook more or what to extend the little they have left so they spend less on ingredients and earn more ROI, or it will taste frozen, not this place. That soup was good to the last spoonful. The hostess was even kind enough to let me try a few sips before I placed my order in. Overall, they are driving conversion here from us die hard carnivores with an exciting menu, an openness to the ingredients they use, and good ol fashioned strong customer service. My wife and I will come back to this place. read more

Went to the new Miami Beach location, ended up paying $30 for a mediocre chicken wrap and some Kombucha they bought at Costco. They also got the order wrong and forgot the chicken and the wrap part of the actual wrap, and basically just gave me a salad on a plate instead of an actual wrap, so she "fixed" it by shoving the salad into a wrap and folding it like a giant taco. The salad did not fit in the small wrap and it was spilling and falling out everywhere. It was impossible to eat with my hands, as one does with a wrap, so I had to use a fork to eat the $30 wrap. I had high hopes for this place but I'm almost certain it will shut down in a matter of months because its that bad. Also, they have maybe 3 menu items on the entire menu, all of which are insanely mediocre and overpriced. Spend your money elsewhere, they are clearly trying to take advantage of what they think are rich people in the area. Oh - and also, they sell single oranges for $7. Give me a break! BYE GROWN! read more

grown - Pricey for wraps and sandwiches. Did not expect yellow spinach in my wrap. Must Try brisket sandwich so juicy and tender. - Organic Stores Near Me - Miami, Florida

We love Grown! The food is great and the service is impeccable! Sometimes we see Ray Allen behind the counter with his mother cooking! All of the dishes we've tried have been great. They all come out very quickly too! Parking is an issue sometimes. Also, beware; it can be a little pricey. I was getting my daughter a vegan wrap. I asked the cashier how many items I could add to it and she said as many as I'd like. I didn't know that each one was several dollars! Yikes! It was an $18 wrap! So be careful what you order! read more

Came back for a second time and this time ordered a full lunch. The chicken wrap was filling and the tomato soup was flavorful. Even though I enjoy the healthy food and the convenience of it being so close to work it is more like $$$ for lunch prices. Even though it is an organic fresh food store one would not typically be able to afford $18 dollar 'fast food' lunches on a daily basis. I think the price point needs to be adjusted for this to be successful long term. I would come back because the food is good, but probably not very frequently. read more

We recently ate at this restaurant in Miami. It was a great experience. My wife had the salmon and brussels sprouts and The quinoa salad. This was excellent. I had the grilled chicken sandwich prepared Cuban style and it was tasty as well. I would recommend not unwrapping the sandwich as it is massive and difficult to keep together. The food came out quickly and the associates were quite friendly and engaging. The prices you can expect obviously to be higher than fast food; however, it is an excellent value for what you get. When you get there you'll place and pay for your order and then your name is called once the order is up. The service style is similar to Zoe's in Orlando, but it is a much better experience and better product. The full entrées and two sides run about 18 bucks and the sandwiches and wraps run about $11 + $6 bucks for the protein. So they are equivalent in price. The theme of the restaurant is food that is organic and brought in locally from Florida providers. They do an excellent job in accommodating gluten-free guests. Definitely an A+ experience. Update 9/26/17 - Ate here again and had the same awesome experience. Restaurant is clean and modern and the associates were friendly. My wife and I each had the salmon and she had the quinoa side. I had the Mexican corn with Parmesan cheese side as well as the green beans caramelized. The beans were not truly very caramelized; however, they were still nice. The Mexican corn was very tasty. The salmon was cooked to perfection and tasty. Don't forget to get the trim chimchury sauce for your protein. Also do you remember that the asparagus and brussels sprouts are now out of season and not available from the menu. When they are in season, I would definitely recommend them as they are the standouts. 1/23/18 - had a very good experience at this location again. We had the Mediterranean Quinoa salad and the Havana salad with Salmon, and my wife had the Grilled salmon with black beans and chimichurri sauce. We ate in the evening and was a very relaxing atmosphere and the associates were all very nice in accommodating the gluten-free allergy. read more

Very disappointed with Grown... I really wanted to like the place. Love the concept, but didn't like the food... I got the avocado toast and it wasn't real avocado it was that avocado paste from a tube, I'm an avocado lover and can tell the difference right the way... really don't like it and then I tried the lettuce mushroom wrap tacos, and really didn't like the spices, my husband got the chicken and it was overcooked and dry... the only thing I like was my green juice! read more

I've been going to grown since it opened . That is the only reason for two stars. Sure it's organic, but a lot of places in the area are now. After nothing the decline I stayed away for a bit, only to return today to be disappointed AGAIN. After waiting in their "drive through" for 15+ minutes on my lunch hour my usual order of shrimp, with green beans and quinoa came up to a total of $19. Which I expected but for that price , I expected more than 5 measly shrimp, over cooked green beans and a new quinoa (their old one was red). I recommend checking out the other organic spots in the Kendall area before grown. It's a small fortune for nothing impressive. read more

I had lunch there with a friend a couple of weeks ago. Loved it! Had a salad topped with a very generous portion of salmon. All of the ingredients are fresh, organic and delicious. They also have flavored water (2 flavor options) with unlimited refills. What's more he staff is young, energetic and friendly. While it is a bit on the pricey side, you do get what you pay for. Organic greens are more expensive and I'm happy to pay a little extra for quality food that is lovingly put together. So the bottom line is, as "Arnold" would say...I'LL BE BACK!! P.S. To manager and owners: if you'd like to know how you can easily grow your own organic produce in a small footprint, please message me and I'll be happy to share! read more

I love everything about this place. Being greeted with fragrant plants on my way in, smiles and hellos at the counter and help understanding how to order my Ohm-Let. (I'm digging that name btw, we should all take time out to breath and relax daily.) Music is great as is the art and decor. All employees were friendly. I got the Two Egg Ohm-Let and Avocado Toast. My sister the Acai Bowl. We got two cafe cubanos w/ it. I thought the price for all of this was great! $34. They let me dress up the bed of lettuce my food was served on so I kinda got an extra plate out of it. Everything was delicious!! I look forward to this restaurant expanding to NYC and other cities around the states. I would be a regular if I lived here. If you're in Miami, make your way over and enjoy REAL food!! read more

Love the whole idea of organic restaurant, plus a drive through! Came in for dinner after meeting the owner and getting behind the story of how Grown started. Staff was very attentive. They immediately could tell it was our first time and didn't spare energy and effort to explain the menu and got us more aquatinted with the restaurant. Even though place wasn't busy, I noticed the manager and staff members making their rounds, keeping busy. It looked like they enjoyed working there, which made us guests feel cared for and at ease. Food was delicious, you can taste quality and care in its preparation. Beautifully decorated and clean restaurant. Sat on the patio, which was inviting with very comfortable seating. Absolutely love this place! We need one in every neighborhood!! read more

It takes a lot for me to not like a place; this was such a place. First, it is expensive for what you get. Second, with the name, I thought maybe it would offer a lot of vegetarian options - it did not - in fact, the only meat substitute was mushroom. If you're a vegetarian and want to go here, I would advise against it - it's not a place for a vegetarian, despite the fact that they say they can make anything vegan or vegetarian. Without meat substitutes like tempeh, tofu, or the like, I don't know where you would get a protein source. We ordered a capri sandwich, and based on the price and description, I expected it to be buffalo mozzarella, not deli-sliced. It was sliced mozzarella and the cheese was VERY skimpy. Instead of fresh basil and balsamic vinegar, it had a pesto on it that I didn't like. It also had a tomato slice and some kale on it. The flavors were such that I did not eat it - just didn't care for it. The bread would have been good, had it been room temp - but, it was cold. The sandwich sat on a plate with nothing else on it, no chips, no side, nothing - and was $11. That was about a $5 sandwich. We were sharing the sandwich, and since I wanted something else to eat, we ordered 2 sides: corn and sweet potato. The sweet potato was ok, nothing to it - just a mashed sweet potato. The corn is what I would term "disgusting". It was corn, indeed, but had some kind of white cheese - or something - mixed in. We took one bite and didn't eat it. Each side was $5 (it was a nice sized portion). Do you know how many cans of corn I can buy for $5??? A lot! Now, on to the GOOD. Yes, there is good. The people were nice. Everything is local and organic (I LOVE THAT). There's plenty of free parking The place was super-clean and such a cool vibe!! It was indoor / outdoor seating (you order at the counter then pick up your food). I loved the decor and I was looking at other people's food and it looked good. For dessert, I had the MOST AMAZING sunflower / cranberry cookie. OMG, it was so good that I bought 2 of them (because I didn't eat my meal and was hungry!). Whoever their baker is, the cookie was delicious! One more downside. This place is organic and local-grown, which is great. So, you would expect that they would be more "green". While they did have recycle bins, they use takeout containers that are plastic, and they use plastic utensils. Ok, maybe, for the utensils, I get it - but with the take-out containers, at least buy those degradable cardboard ones. Make the place all-or-nothing if you want to be green. The place does not advertise that it is vegetarian, so I don't know what I was expecting. But, it could be veg-friendly with minimal effort, and maybe be more attractive to people like me. I enjoyed the vibe of the place and the location is great. It just really missed the mark with the flavoring of the foods that we ordered. Sorry. read more

Grown is a good option for me, if I need quick drive thru lunch and I'm willing to pay their prices. Its been pretty good in the past, especially the desserts. It's either this or fast food, and I'd rather pay up than eat fast food. This time, however, I feel like I got robbed. Came through the drive thru with my toddler and infant in the back seat. Their menu is broken, so I look it up online while I wait. The girl working drive thru had me wait, then when she was ready couldn't hear, so had me order at the window. I ordered a brisket wrap. No brisket. Ok, chicken wrap? Ok yes. $18. Ouchhh! Ok whatever. I pay, then she tells me to park and wait. Infant starts crying her face off. I wait, again, more than five minutes. Get my wrap. Eat it. It truly sucks and am ashamed I gave Grown $18 dollars for all this. I just think if I'm going to come here, they should come through with their "fast, healthy, tasty" persona. read more

The atmosphere is clean and sophisticated. The ambience is Miami chic. The service is impeccable. The food is simply delicious and memorable.

Run don't walk to Grown! read more

Wonderful concept, on paper it's great, a refreshing alternative to "fast food"; execution wise not so much. I've only been here once, but by the looks of the reviews, this place is very inconsistent and has gone down in quality substantially. Shannon seems to copy and paste her responses to unsatisfied customers without actually addressing the problems as they seem to remain the same... I truly appreciate and commend her on the concept and the mission she is attempting to fulfill, but owning a restaurant requires a lot more than providing funds to open... The restaurant is not a success because albeit she prides herself in acquiring the very expensive title/label of being the only USDA "100% certified organic restaurant on the East Coast" they don't even practice what they preach... Offering so many different dietary restrictions, some which overlap, they're bound to feature some non-organic ingredients which she herself admitted to me regarding their Gluten Free pancake mix, and I'm certain there are plenty more instances she just didn't mention. I implore you to sift through the reviews and find the one from a gentlemen (Scott L.) who saw with his own eyes conventionally grown apples with a sticker starting with number 4 & (visible from the pickup service counter) 8 Non-organic baguettes of french bread from Trader Joes. On a scale like that, attempting to offer so much it's difficult to be completely pristine... I also really agreed with Kim R. who mentioned their mixed message & identity crisis "While Grown features a green, living wall and t-shirts with vegetarian messages, the menu offers an overwhelming amount of animals & animal products." which ironically they're always out of as several people mention on here... As a Vegan they also misclassify protein: "There is more protein in some of the legumes, greens, and grains that Grown serves than in mushrooms, but they label the mushrooms as their non-animal "protein" source, demonstrating their preoccupation with taste/texture over any interest they might have in true nutrition." I do believe the decor is beautiful, very playful, colorful, clean, fresh, vibrant meets shabby chic. Love the greenery and orchids and the outside facade is beautiful with the flowers and repurposed barn doors. The layout however is quite uncomfortable. I was there while it was empty and it still seem awkward, without any flow so I can only imagine how it gets when there are more customers, lines, and crowding. I also enjoyed their hydration station, the least you can do is offer free infused H20 with their prices. I came in with my mom for dinner & paid $50 for a salad & entree with sides & drinks... (which are not 100% organic btw Shannon but that's besides the point) It would've been around $70-$80 had we gotten two smoothies or two juices. There were about 3 employees behind the register/cashier counter one taking the order and others standing idly around and 4-5 in the kitchen area, I imagine all on the clock, while the restaurant was empty for dinner. While their employees might be friendly they aren't very knowledgeable with dietary restrictions and food allergies as I mentioned several times I was Vegan she asked if I wanted yogurt dressing, I looked at her like...? Also my mom wanted several things listed on their menu that they were out of. By the reviews it seems like they're ALWAYS out of SOMETHING, never fully stocked which would mean their Kitchen Manager does not know how to do food orders and plan ahead."Because of the way the menu is constructed, if there are no mushrooms, vegans/vegs are left high and dry." The food was edible, but not worth the price. They place too much value on their name & label of 100% organic without actually coming through and executing with the same quality. Why is a wrap $11 and $6-$8 for added protein? And to add insult to injury, not even really flavorful. You are NOT COMPARABLE TO FAST-FOOD when A. you're not fast. You have to wait a while for your food and B. the prices are egregious. Prices alone (even if the food came out fast) are exorbitant and laughable to be considered fast food. Then you compromise your selling point by cutting corners and having non organic items under your roof? You're honestly better off at Chipotle with their hormone/antibiotic free meats & Non-GMO ingredients at a much more reasonable price point. Why is a tiny side cup of bland rice $4? As a Vegan legumes beans and grains are about the cheapest things you can buy... you can get an entire veggie bowl FILLED to the brim with rice beans onions peppers tomatoes corn etc. AND WITH GUAC FOR FREE all for $6.50 at Chipotle. I think they need to rethink their menu offerings and price points maybe after learning from other successful organic health restaurants in states like CA and NY and competitive market prices based on geographical location. While I loved the idea I was very disappointed. Grown is just not economical as a fast food alternative. read more

Came under recommendation from a family member... and let me say the food was terrific! It was tasty in my book, had the Mediterranean Salad with Chicken added.. the only reason why I give the 3 stars is because the price is unreasonably high in my perspective. My dad and I ordered together, and he got a tiny sliver of Salmon, with a bowl of black beans (seemed like soup? not sure) and sauteed potatoes, and an Iced Coffee that I ordered with Almond Milk.. we paid $41...! That is not gonna be a place I frequent for sure, albeit, the food is tasty.. but wow... You can't even "tell" if the food is REALLY organic anyways.. lol read more

WHAT. HAPPENED? It seriously pains me to update my review to a 2 stars, but my last 4 visits have been 2 star visits. It sucks. I genuinely loved this place, and the concept is refreshing for a city where there is a McDonalds or BK at every corner. Just a few days ago, I went through the drive through and ordered the Capri sandwich with chicken. What I got was a hard baguette (it wasn't even chewable), maybe 1 ounce of chicken, and a stick of string cheese as the mozzarella.... yes, there was a stick of string cheese (like the kind my mom used to put in my lunchbox in elementary school) in my $17 sandwich. I had to laugh. Then I got upset, because I was starving and couldn't even chew through the super hard bread. I also ordered the kids Panko chicken tenders and they were so gross I opted not to feed them to my 3 year old. I would eat here several times a week if they cleaned up their act. I am very disappointed in where this place has gone in terms of quality lately. The only thing that has been consistently good is their customer service. read more

Not only the food is amazing, but the people on staff are exceptional; they literally make you feel at home. Thank you Chris, Shirley, Gianna, Gloria and staff for making us part of Grown!! So, if you are in South Miami, you need to visit this great place! You won't regret it! Carlos and Fam! read more

As someone that has been to the Grown location down south I expected the same level of customer service and food quality at the Hard Rock stadium location. It wasn't even half time and they were out of the chips as a side. My boyfriend ordered a salmon burger that he stated wasn't hot. They were handing us the sandwich without a side. When we asked they said they were out of chips. So we asked for a substitution and they gave us an OK salad. My chicken tenders were cold as well. And the customer service was nothing to rave about. We have season tickets and were looking forward to having Grown at all of the home games but it seems like we are going to have to go somewhere else. Pretty disappointed after looking forward to it for a while. read more

My experience was... meh. The drive thru girl couldn't hear me because of background noises, and the menu was not complete. I couldn't make my own salad at the drive thru - which makes no sense since they should be making my order the moment I make it, not have it pre-made. It's VERY pricey, $19 for a fairly average salad, yes it was supposedly all organic - including chicken - but it did not taste $19 worth. The chicken was bland (and I usually don't eat salt so bland is bad!) and it had a lot of lettuce and very little toppings. Did not seem measured at all. Too little dressing give to go as well. I had high expectations for an all-organic restaurant near me, and this one-time experience unfortunately did not meet them. An extra star for the look of the place (it is beautiful on the outside! I can't even imagine inside) read more

Worst experience ever. I walked in wanting a breakfast sandwich- they fulfilled the GF part, but they woman with short dark hair refused to change the bacon for another meat- mind you I do not eat pork or red meats. I kindly asked to change the meat to chicken, but she didn't want to change it. I also ordered GF chocolate chip pancakes... "we do not have chocolate chips" LOL what place advertises something they do not have? Horrible customer service. Mediocre food. Clearly this place is beyond hyped. Definitely will not be back. read more

Update!!!! After Shannon responding to my review and after reading numerous bad reviews that have been given to Grown I have learned that Shannon copies and pastes pretty much the same sentences on everyone's reviews! I'm glad that this is the only 100% organic restaurant on the east coast... good for you! What still hasn't changed and what the people are complaining about is PRICE and TASTE! If I were being served dog poop, I don't care if the dog it came from ate only natural foods as it lived in an all natural habitat or if it came from a dog who ate Pedigree... it's still POOP! Plus if I'm going to eat the aforementioned POOP I would rather pay way less that what I am paying at Grown... thus, Grown serves expensive poop. Shannon also consistently writes comparing the restaurant to a fast food restaurant... Grown is not fast food so stop trying to make it seem like it is and comparing yourself to a McDonalds or Birger King etc. Update: Still 1 star! Cut your pricing! Add some flavor! read more

This place is delicious! I had one of the cookies and it was absolutely delicious. Definitely coming back

This place is garbage. My friends and I decided to check it out just to try something new for a late lunch. The prices were CRAZY expensive, but we figured the food must be exceptionally tasty and all the talk about organic and home-grown food seemed enticing. First of all, they have an "All Day" menu, from which you can choose a limited selection of proteins, grains, veggies, sauces, etc. I decided to go with brisket as my protein. "Sorry, no brisket." Fine, I'll go with the chicken. I'll have the corn as my veggies. "Sorry, no corn." Fine. Beans then. When I ordered the roasted potatoes, I was surprised they actually existed. So that was 1 for 3 so far. And I want barbeque sauce as my sauce, please. "No barbeque." (Mind you, it's not like I'm asking for made-up items -- these were all items listed right on their menu.) What I ended up receiving was a sad little serving of the driest, blandest, most lukewarm chicken shreds I've ever had to the misfortune of putting into my mouth. The beans were undercooked and tough, and also had zero flavor -- I swear to god if you heat up a can of Goya black beans without adding ANYTHING, they'd have more flavor than these things. The roasted potatoes were also tough and unappetizing, and the sauce I settled for (some green avocado-lime thing, which was all that was available) did not complement the chicken, although it did help to make it less dry, but that's not exactly a compliment. All this for 20 dollars? Seriously, I could've had a tastier, larger, more satisfying meal at McDonald's for just a few bucks -- not to mention they would've actually HAD the stuff they list on their menu. Never returning to this place again. read more

I heard a lot of hype coming into this place, and while the food is fine, it's nothing all that outstanding. I came for breakfast, and it seems like a great deal that you can get home fries, bacon, and fruit for $5, until you see that it's less food than you would've gotten for the same price at IHOP. For all the gluten-free, local-source, vegan-friendly, blah, blah, blah, you see, the food was pretty bland and basic. I'm not saying the food isn't good. I'm just saying that their cage-free, macrobiotic, whatever, whatever eggs taste the same as what I have in my fridge from Publix. Now, I'm not going to lie, their juices and smoothies are really good, but they set you back about $10. If paying $10 for a great smoothie is something that wouldn't bother you, then grown is right up your alley. read more
