Nice selection of tasty choices to add to a bed of rice, or a bed of half rice and half greens. In addition, you can add grilled protein: three types of chicken, steak, shrimp, or tofu. Low sugar sodas, and caffeine laced cold drinks were available. Lots of glass windows and sunshine; otherwise, spartan but pleasant dining appointments. Service was very quick!! read more

Really clean location. Parking at Avalon can be rough during rush hours and weekends. Similar concept like chipotle. Bowl portions serve a meal. The rice wasnt the best i had. Overall the food tasted pretty good. A bit pricey for fast food chain. Service was good at this location. If you are shopping in Avalon, Gusto could be a great place for a quick lunch. read more

gusto! Avalon - Mango avacado bowl - New American Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

Gusto has become one of my quick go to spots for a quick healthy salad bowl option. A variety of selections to choose from vegan to multiple protein choices. You may customize your bowl too from mixed greens and ride rice or half and half along with great savory dressings. My favorite is feta cucumber with tahini dressing. Their side is a bag of regular or bbq sweet potato chips. There is something for everyone. The dining area is spacious and to go orders work too. A nice staff and this location has 100 food grade rating. I have used them for catering and individual orders on numerous occasions. Give it a try and see for yourself that healthy isn't boring. read more

New favorite lunch spot! I know this chain has been around for some time now, but I recently discovered how amazing it is and I've been obsessed ever since I took my first bite. It's a fast-casual vibe offering delicious protein bowls, wraps, and salads. My favorites are the Chipotle Mango Avocado and the Ginger Lime Peanut bowls. I usually stick with grilled chicken and brown rice, but sometimes I'll get the shrimp and a half lettuce - half rice base. Honestly, all of their flavors are incredible! Now, don't even get me started on their sweet potato chips and queso on the side. The chips come complimentary with any bowl, wrap or salad, and now they even offer their new BBQ flavor. The original is still my favorite, but the BBQ is great too. The original seasoning is just out of this world, and if you like BBQ flavor I highly recommend trying them. I didn't even know I liked sweet potato chips until I tried them. They are crunchy, and the perfect mix of sweet and salty. Their queso is the perfect pair for the chips, and it's truly some of the best queso I've ever had (which I really didn't expect). I love having the ability to quickly grab something healthy, filling, and fresh! read more

The ginger lime peanut bowl was exactly what I was looking for ... something HEALTHY and DELICIOUS! It came with cucumbers and red peppers along with carrot and sprout pieces. The brown rice and sauce coming on the side kept me on track as far as staying healthy. The sauce IS very good though and has a subtle zing. The chicken seemed to be a mix of both dark and white chicken and I wish there was an alternative to the sweet potato chips. Chips and still fried... you're not fooling me I was served right away by friendly staff and they had upbeat "shopping" music playing, keeping in line with the Avalon atmosphere. The place was exceptionally clean with staff cleaning the floors and tables constantly. I only gave 4 out of 5 stars because the price is a little high. $15 after a $1 tip is kinda steep since I don't eat chips so will be giving those away and most of the meal is rice. Also - I find this all over, so not Gusto's fault, but the checkout almost forces you to tip 15% or more since the staff is smiling in your face while they show you the screen to sign and 15% is the lowest amount (unless you tip nothing or edit a custom amount). I really wish they would get rid of those things, but I certainly get it. Overall - GREAT PLACE FOR QUICK LUNCH. read more

Gusto continues to be a solid option for a healthy quick meal. I love that you can customize everything and all the ingredients are fresh. I was probably in and out within 10 minutes with my to-go order (this included my time to decide what I wanted). Parking: Big shared Avalon lot.

QUALITY We're raving fans of the freshness and flavor in all the dishes here. I recommend trying the unami tofu. After living in Chamblee and West Midtown, often going to those nearby branches, we're happy to see there's one at the Avalon by our new house. We will definitely be going here A LOT. IV.

I love that Avalon has options like Gusto! for shoppers who want something relatively quick -- and healthy at the same time. I'm a huge fan of the bowls craze - today I tried their "Ginger Lime Peanut" based on the staff recommendation. She said most popular is the "Chipotle Mango Avocado" but her personal favorite is the Thai bowl. She didn't steer me wrong - very fresh, delicious & tasty! GINGER LIME PEANUT - $10.95 I did 1/2 and 1/2 (brown rice + mixed greens) for my base, and picked grilled chicken for my protein. The bowl also includes red bell pepper, cabbage, cucumber, carrots, scallions & roasted peanuts tossed in a lime vinaigrette. It also comes with ginger peanut dressing on the side which made the salad even more extra tasty! All the veggies were super fresh. The bowls also include a bag of sweet potato chips which were a great complement too! Overall super impressed. Staff were super nice too. I'd read mixed reviews for some of the other Gusto locations but this one has rave reviews - I will definitely come back for my next Avalon shopping trip! read more

Stopped for lunch after a Doctors appointment. Parking was very hard to find which is nothing new at Avalon. The restaurant was nice and clean, they were busy for lunch but they had plenty of open tables. I opted to get my food to go, U ordered the grilled spicy chicken 1/2 brown rice and salad Mediterranean bowl. It was as delicious as the first time I tried it. The bowl looks small but I had a hard time finishing the entire thing. All the ingredients were fresh, the chicken had a nice spicy flavor and the avocados were creamy. I was glad to have given this restaurant a try for a second time. read more

gusto! Avalon - 1/2 grilled chicken Tzatziki with avocado - New American Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

Looking at the other reviews, people really love Gusto! in the Avalon. I bought a Taziki Chicken Bowl for a family member. She said that it tasted average at best. She said that the Boar's Head salads she purchases at Publix taste better than the Gusto! bowl or salad. I grabbed a can of Recess blackberry chai hemp infused sparkling water, because I thought it looked unique and my family member might enjoy trying it. I wasn't paying close attention, but when it rang up, the cost was $6 for one can. Later I went online to do some research and apparently a six pack of this beverage can cost around $50. The beverage is supposed to help you relax. So, while the place appears all cool and trendy with its corner location in the Avalon, the taste of the food didn't wow my family. Therefore, we probably won't be back anytime soon. read more

I enjoyed my visit to gusto! located in Avalon. It has a very interesting concept. You can choose from a preset list of mixed sauces. I liked how they have pictures of each one which helped in my decision-making. Then you choose your protein. And lastly, you pick your base between rice, mixed greens, 1/2 and 1/2, or flatbread wrap. We chose the Chipotle Mango Avocado and Chile Sesame BBQ with grilled chicken and a 1/2 and 1/2 base. They mark down your order then prepare it fresh. The one thing I wish was that they had a glass counter so you can watch as they prepare your meal. Both meals tasted really great. The flavors all went together so well. And I'm glad they offered a 1/2 and 1/2 option. I think each offers a different experience for the meal. Parking can be a little limited at peak hours. But you can always park a little further away and make the walk. Or if you're already shopping at Avalon, even better. Be sure to give them a try! read more

Upon heading home from the pottery barn and all that jazz about home furnishing. We stopped off to get something healthier to eat. This place hit it right on the head. The many is laid out like a poke bar, your base, your proteins, and your fluff. Really really tasty morsels and the greatest hit was that with every meal you get a small paper bag of WARM freshly made sweet potato chips.... read more

This place is FANTASTIC! I had picked up my Yelpie Bag of goodies at the EVEN Hotel, and there was a coupon for a free entree. We came into Avalon, across the street, around 6 pm on a weekday, and the place had maybe 1-2 parties inside. As you come in, there are two entrances. The entrance near the parking garage side is to the check-out area, and the entrance from the middle of the Avalon shops feeds you into the order counter/menu. Everyone in the store greeted us immediately. One of the managers, I believe, asked us if we had ever been in; we had not. So he explained how to order, and we did. When we came in, there was a BUY ONE GET ONE FREE ENTREE deal going on - I didn't have to use my coupon. Saved it for another day at Avalon! CHIPOTLE MANGO AVOCADO: (X2). 1 without avocado and 1 without pico, both served on rice with a side of plantain chips in a paper bag. You had your choice of their sauces, which were AMAZING! I chose the house non-spicy sauce and my husband their spicy sauce. Drinks are extra $2.50 apiece. They have a freestyle machine, and you can refill as many times as you would like. Their cutlery is a fun yellow - reusable and disposable. Their portion sides are big, so expect to bring it home with you if you dine in. read more

We've been to this restaurant a number of times and really enjoyed it! It's very modern and clean inside. You order at the front counter, pay at the register and your food is delivered to the table of your choice. All meals include delicious sweet potato chips. I've ordered the same thing a number of times because I really like it. The Chipotle Mango Avocado Flatbread with grilled chicken is so flavorful! It includes grilled chicken, avocado, black beans, mango, lettuce, and rice. Employees are extremely helpful in providing suggestions. You can order a flatbread or a bowl. My only complaint is sometimes the flatbreads are more full and other times it doesn't have as many ingredients inside the flatbread and I'm still a bit hungry. If they're more consistent, this place would be perfect! Eating here is quick and easy. Parking is free in the garage or in the outside parking lot of the Avalon. read more

Gusto at The Avalon needs a deep clean immediately. I would not recommend anyone to eat there until the Health Department inspects the restaurant. The tables, the chairs, the walls, the restroom, the counters, the kitchen and the drink station need to be thoroughly disinfected and cleaned immediately. It is clear as day that they are only concerned about making money and not the customers experience and health. Also, the staff looks sweaty and unkept. They don't bother to speak or greet the customers as they enter the restaurant. It's a complete hot mess and they will never get a dime of my money. And to be at The Avalon is a complete disgrace to the shopping center and customers expecting to have a healthy meal and a wonderful experience. You are likely to come out of there with food poisoning and germs. read more

I ordered the Tzatziki Chicken Bowl after a workout and I enjoyed the taste and colorful presentation of the bowl and the price was affordable. The bowl was filled with mixed greens, chicken and pickled vegetables and tasted flavorful. The restaurant is a minimalistic and clean design with a quiet ambiance. Everything was seemingly great. However, things went downhill right after I finished my meal, I almost immediately felt sick and realized the salad was not properly washed prior to serving! Not a good experience in the end and not likely to return. read more

I stopped here for lunch and tried the newest option, Chile Sesame BBQ, on brown rice. This is a spicy Korean dish with carrots, kimchi, radish, cucumber, and jalapeño, garnished with cilantro, and with a sesame soy dressing. It's dairy-free, vegan, and vegetarian. The soy dressing is the spicy bbq part. It's slightly thicker than bbq sauce and the soy flavor is a little strong. I actually didn't use the sauce because the chicken and veggies provided enough flavor for me. They offer catering, online order pickup, and delivery with UberEats, Postmates, Doordash, and Grubhub. If you live in metro Atlanta there's probably a store that delivers to your area. There's a pick up area separate from where in-store orders are placed. There's a male bathroom and a female bathroom; both singles with a changing table. Social distancing is encouraged, masks are required, and pets are not allowed. read more

Honestly pretty quality food, reminds me of a sweetgreens style restaurant.

I was introduced to Gusto! through our local Yelpies Event. Gretel, our Atlanta OTP Yelp Community Manager included a free entrée voucher good for any bowl up to $10.95 in price. I happened to be in the area and decided to give them a try. GUSTO! is similar to Poké in that you start with a base of either rice, mixed greens or a combination of the two. You can also choose a wrap. NEXT you choose your Gusto (flavor). The predetermined bowls include: + chipotle mango avocado (highly recommend) + ginger lime peanut + chile sesame bbq + tahini cucumber feta + sweet soy sriracha (highly recommend) + tzatziki lemon artichoke NEXT you choose a protein - grilled chicken, spicy grilled chicken, grilled shrimp, umami tofu, or avocado slices. [first visit] I used my free voucher to try the sweet soy sriracha bowl, which was delicious and far more filling than I expected. Included with every order are sweet potato chips and they are really tasty! [second visit] I came back for a second paying visit where I picked-up another bowl for myself and one for my wife. This time I tried the chile sesame BBQ and my wife ordered the chipotle mango avocado. I liked the BBQ bowl, but not as much as the sriracha bowl. However, I absolutely loved the chipotle mango avocado bowl my wife ordered. It was a refreshingly light flavor that suited my taste buds on that particular day. Will absolutely order this for myself next visit. My wife also enjoyed the sweet potato chips. *** The interior is welcoming and very well-lit with high ceilings. Service was very quick and friendly. My bowl was practically ready by the time I reached the cashier at the other end of the counter. Restroom were exceptionally clean and actually smelled really nice and pandemic protocols seemed to be well in place. I'm always so pleased to find a place my wife and I can equally enjoy since our diets tend to be polar opposite. She is not really a meat eater and has dietary concerns such as gluten sensitivity while I am carnivorous by nature, but I'm learning as I age to appreciate my veggies! Gusto has definitely earned many more future visits! Grateful to Gretel for the introduction. TIP: Cash was not being accepted on my visits 2020 / 111 read more

I need more Gusto! in my life! I had it a while back at one of the Yelp events and loved it. Since there are not conveniently close to me, I honestly have forgotten about it. Getting a coupon from the Yelp swag got me wanting to try Gusto! and knowing it's just a few blocks away. Alpharetta is growing so much! I've been to the Avalon area once only a long time ago when I had to pick up my bib number for a 5k. I thought the area was cute. Since then, it's grown a lot. Gusto! has same concept as poke places except there isn't raw meats! Yay! I am not a fan of raw meats that's why I don't like sushi. Plus now, I am meatless. They have tofu but I hate always having to sub tofu for meat. I was glad that I could sub avocado instead. I haven't had that happen since 3 years ago when I was in DC and sub avocado for meat for a taco. I rather have avocado than tofu or seitan or any fake meats! I got the chili sesame bbq because I didn't want any dairy products. I opted for the wrap. Of course, I got avocado! Even without the coupon, the wrap + fresh sweet potato chips were still a good price range. Food came out quick and paid with credit card. When I got to my car, I took a bite, it was sooo delicious! OMG, I need to eat more. Next thing you know, I ate it all. It would've been messy driving back home lol. I think I need to eat more at Gusto! The flavors are so delicious and I want to try more! The staff was good and knowledgeable. There's not a location in Gwinnett but I will make a trip to Chamblee location. 111/2020 read more

I received a card for a free entree a while ago and have been anticipating trying gusto for quite some time. I was fortunate enough to find an empty 10 minute parking spot (there are only a few) right in front of the restaurant. There are social distancing stickers on the floor and signs saying payment is only cashless for now. The one thing I was displeased about was needing to touch the terminals to input rewards and credit cards, but was not provided with hand sanitizer. Fortunately I always carry some in my bag so it wasn't that big of a deal; it just would have been nice. I decided on a wrap with umami tofu and selected the special Buffalo Buttermilk Blue (would have been $10.75). The wrap was pretty skinny so I was able to wolf it down no problem. I was expecting it to be larger. The tofu was tasty and had a great texture. The style of the wrap was nice. They asked if I was okay with rice in it. I agreed and it wasn't a lot really, but was an interesting addition for a wrap. I am not sure if this is true with all proteins or only the tofu. I did appreciate them asking, however. The flavor was not too spicy, and not overly creamy. The wrap came with fresh sweet potato chips which were yummy. I really have had my eye on the Ginger Lime Peanut, but opted for the special because well it won't be around forever. I am really looking forward to trying the other styles. This is a great stop for a light lunch. read more
