Even better now with bigger portions! A restaurant INCREASING their portions is basically unheard of so I think everyone should go here. One of the best fast casual restaurants! Before, they had shallow bowls and smaller portions but they upgraded to a deeper/bigger bowl and bigger portion sizes. The only difference is it doesn't come with the free sweet potato chips anymore, but you can still get the chips for extra. But hey, I would definitely take bigger portions over a side chips any day. It's super easy to order here. Just pick your flavor profile, the base (greens, brown rice, or half and half), and protein. My favorite flavor is still the Chipotle Mango Avocado. I love the creamy chipotle sauce. And they give more of the avocado mixture now. It has black beans, red onion, corn, cheese in it. For proteins, I love the shrimp and tofu. The tofu is a great vegetarian option. This is my favorite location too. It's spacious (also has an outdoor dining area) and very clean. Food is great and feels very healthy compared to some other fast casual options. read more

Gusto - Chipotle Mango Avocado - New American Near Me - Buford, Georgia

The menu has been updated in portion sizes. They no longer have the smaller bowls. The bowls are bigger and get the amount worth what you pay. We ordered the Chipotle Mango Avocado Half lettuce and half rice with Grilled Shrimp and Sweet Soy Sriracha half lettuce and half rice with Grilled Shrimp. I think it was the manager who helped us out with the menu changes. We visited before but were not pleased with the small portion sizes. We told him we were happy about the change in the size. I received the Black Friday coupon BOGO bowl or wrap. It really helps signing up for the rewards program or having the app. The dining space was clean and inviting. It was not crowded but there was a family eating dinner at the circle table and two other parties eating. We were definitely pleased this time around and will return. read more

New Gusto location! Great service and fresh bowls! Love the variety of options on the menu as well as the sauces they offer. Glad they opened a location in this part of town. The interior dining space is always warm and inviting. Always a fan of the high ceilings and the artwork. This location doesn't have a drive thru. I wish they did! I would probably come a lot more often when I have my dog with me. Gusto also has the best sweet potato chips. I love both options- BBQ and regular. They need to sell those in a big bag. If they were cheaper, I would buy a ton of extra to take home. Yes, it's that good. Definitely a spot to check out if you enjoy fresh & tasty clean eats! read more

Catering review: This was an amazing catering option for my party of 25-30 guests! Guy, the manager, was super helpful and Beth who delivered and set-up was on point and wonderful. The catering process was seamless and my guests loved the ability to choose their own bowl (I chose the flavor profiles of Mediterranean and Thai -ginger, peanut, lime out of the many options -you select 2) and added a half tray of tofu for friends who are vegetarian. People could choose what they wanted. The bases were fresh greens or brown rice. I chose all chicken with an add on for tofu and each flavor profile had a wonderful sauce and a salad that you could mix into your bowl. They are geared up for catering and definitely professional. The food was super fresh with juicy chicken, great tasting sauces and mix ins. Highly recommended! read more

Been several times now & never disappoints! Costs have definitely gone up- to feed 4 was almost $70 for a pickup & "fast food". But here's what we got- see pics! Heavy bowls, no doubt! No complaints from anyone tonight! And, when I picked up I THINK the manager or owner came to the window & asked my name. Not KAITLAN, my last name is CATE. LOL, he made me laugh & told me, "God bless you." What a kind & wonderful thing to say!!!!! I am full & fulfilled!!! And that Lemon Ranch totally HIT!!!! read more

Healthy. The place is clean and the workers were helpful since it was my first visit. I had questions. I wish they had more ingredients to add but overall it tasted good and the service was great. read more

You choose either rice, spring mix or 1/2 and 1/2, a mixture of the two. You can also choose to get your bowl in a wrap. Then you choose a themed bowl. They vary in choice or Thai, Asian, Mexican, Mediterranean and a little Italian-ish I guess. I chose the Thai peanut bowl with half and half. It's served with your choice of sweet potato chips in your choice of original or bbq. I got the ne of each as I ordered two meals and I've yet to try them. The packing however is nice. Anywho, the bowl was refreshing and I poured the ginger peanut sauce all over it. My husband chose the pesto balsamic bowl with panko chicken and it was so fresh and super yummmy, better than mine! read more

I had a Tahini Cucumber Feta bowl with 1/2 & 1/2 and spicy chicken. The flavors went perfect together, I really enjoyed it and for sure will be getting it again! I recommend scooping the potato chip in the bowl It was $15 for a drink, chips, and a bowl which I would say is pretty average for a lunch. Ordering was simple and the menu was super easy to read nothing too complicated or overwhelming The interior is clean and very open! There's a lot of windows allowing a lot of light to come in contributing to the openness! The patio area is also very pretty, there is plenty of shade and a fan out there as well! read more

Having to pay attention to sodium and nutritional numbers, Gusto was a great find and has become our go-to for Saturday lunch. The menu for their fresh bowls is diverse and there are several great options, my favorites including the lemon pepper ranch and ginger lime peanut. I suggest those only because I haven't made it all the way through the menu yet. Service is quick and friendly and you can drive through or eat inside or outside on the enclosed patio. read more

Quick serivce and hardly ever a line. A humble place but extremely clean. Simple ordering system. The gusto is the only real variety to make to your order, or at least I haven't attempted to make any substitutions. read more

Only my 2nd time visiting a gusto location. I enjoy the chicken avocado bowl. The sauce has a nice flavor. I haven't tried any other bowl, but I definitely plan to. I have the app and was rewarded a lemonade, which is very tangy but refreshing. The building that has floor to ceiling windows in the drive-thru is so airy and nice to look at. I went through the drive-thru and can see it's nice and new/clean inside. Now, every time I go to sprouts market across the parking lot, I'm gonna have a gusto craving to order a delicious bowl to take home. I'm glad to have them in the area. A new favorite for sure. read more

Best food , great staff 10/10 fresh always no comparison to other stores around way better quality

Finally gusto in Buford has arrived! My wife and I have been going to gusto since the first location opened! They even catered the food at our wedding and everyone loved it of course! The food and service is always outstanding if you haven't tried it you need to get here asap! If you're a fan of that other Mexican place that makes bowls and burritos after you try gusto trust me you won't go there ever again! read more

Delicious, healthy meal option when it comes to fast food. Good value for the price of a bowl.

This place is a healthy Mediterranean chipotle. My girls and I ate here this past weekend and it was delicious.

I had the opportunity to experience Gustos Food at Bodyplex Gym. Here's the thing. If you can package your food and deliver it to a location set it up and still have it taste fresh and delicious. You are truly a great establishment. The food I ate was healthy, tasty and delicious. I had a jerk chicken with rice and cilantro. The food tasted soooo good I was shocked. Because usually when food is delivered it's not as fresh as it is in the restaurant. But this for was outstanding. I encourage everyone to try it. I'm planning to go there too. So let's meet there and tell them Ken from the Gym sent you. read more

Love this place! Tahini Cucumber Feta with a side of mango relish is my favorite. The service is always great to match my amazing food. The grilled chicken is always tender with lots of flavor mixed with salad greens and rice is the perfect blend. Try it for yourself! Also, try a chocolate chip cookie to end your meal. read more

This place was surprisingly good! Portion size was very solid and the tzatziki lemon artichoke bowl had great flavor. I also got a cheese foldie with grilled chicken which was kinda like a quesadilla but with pita bread and it was also really good. Definitely recommend this place! read more

We went in for dinner last night. There is a very healthy vibe to this place. Bright lighting, Orange tones. Wood Accents. Chair and Bench Seating. We were assisted to order. I went with the most ordered item. Avocado something. Added mushrooms. They were great. If you like salads this is the place for you. read more

Absolutely love Gusto!!! The Tzatiki Lemon Artichoke bowl with rice and salad is sooo good. I usually add mushrooms as well. The sweet potato chips are good too. The food is so good and service is quick. Can't forget about the Lemon Sugar cookie! Cozy and quaint inside. Recommend this place every time! read more

This was my first time at a Gusto! Wasn't quite sure what to expect, but ordered the half lettuce and half rice bowl with tzatziki lemon artichoke and added grilled chicken. It was absolutely delicious! The lemon vinaigrette dressing paired perfectly with the cucumbers, sweet pickled onions, artichokes, and white beans. (I'm not a fan of olives, so I just pushed those to the side.) Their bowl came with a side of sweet potato chips - also amazing!! The service was quick, which is why so many people were getting to-go orders. The restaurant had lots of available seats, upbeat music, and covered, outdoor places to eat. Will definitely be going back! read more

The food is always fresh and flavorful! Keep trying the menu until you find your jam. I'm addicted to their spicy chicken. If you like flavor with a kick it's a must try. I usually get the queso verde queso over mixed greens. My husband got the same but as a flatbread and he is in love! Besides their food I love that Gusto is consistent... every time it is just as good as the first. Fresh, quality ingredients are appreciated. Never had a tummy ache after dining with them. read more

Enjoyed a fast lunch here today. 4 of us tried 4 different flavor profiles and everyone enjoyed it. Service was great very friendly and helpful. read more

As a first time patron of Gusto , I must say I'm beyond impressed with the quality of ingredients & welcoming demeanor of the staff. Helena is the sweetest person to work in any Drive Thru I've visited. The inside smells amazing & the building is newly renovated. I ordered a Lemon Pepper Ranch with Brown Rice & Grilled Chicken. Rice cooked to perfection, chicken flavored harmoniously & the best part of this style of restaurant has to be the double sauces for the meal entrees. It's all organic & healthy too! Large Portions with extremely rich flavor all for 12 bucks. I'll definitely be back read more

Great food large portions! The lemon artichoke was my favorite with it was still on the menu but love the options

I love this restaurant & I'm really happy it exists. There aren't many restaurants like Gusto!

I wish I got that guys name. He seemed like the manager, but I'm not sure it was our first time going to gusto. He made our experience easy and comfortable. The avocado was so fresh. Specifically this location we had a tremendous 1st experience. We got a sample of the chipotle, mango bowl. It was fabulous. So much Flavor! If you are ever curious to try one of the bowls, don't hesitate to ask for a little sample of the medley. Guy helped us out too. He had a nice smile. Will definitely be back and will recommend to friends and family. Very yummy!!! read more

Great first visit to Gusto. Located on the far end of the Exchange at Buford in front of Sprouts, it's a stand alone building. Fresh bowls are served which start with a base of protein consisting of rice or greens or a mixture of both. The protein is limited to grilled chicken, spicy grilled chicken and todu. No steak as you would come to expect. The layers on top are predetermined mix of a fresh salad with a sauce. I got the Korean BBQ bowl with spicy chicken as well as a Spicy Mango Chile bowl with regular grilled chicken and added avocado. Both bowls were delicious, although I think I liked the Mango Chile bowl a little bit more. Both bowls are around $12. The place is new and immaculate, go check it out. Counter service so you can be in and out quick! read more

Delicious! Found by chance when in the area and looking for lunch. We've been back many times. Great flavor options for everyone in my family who likes different tastes. So convenient to order on the app and pick up at drive through. Highly recommend read more

Kinda meh?? The sweet potato chips and queso were good, the strawberry limeade was good and tasted like I expected. The main dish though was just kinda... eh? I got the queso verde bowl and all it was, was whatever base you choose (I chose lettuce and rice) and then corn and queso. For the price- adding basically one ingredient and a dressing is kinda wack. It usually comes with chicken too, but I don't eat meat so I took that off. This would've been better if they added like... tomato.. or pico... or SOMETHING. Probably won't eat here again read more

The food was on point and flavorful. The cashier was patient and helpful since this was only my second time visiting the establishment. There was plenty of seating at clean tables. I had the lemon pepper chicken and my wife had the tahini cucumber with feta. We will definitely be returning to dine in again. read more

Gusto is a great option if you're looking to eat quick and healthy. I ordered my food to go and it was ready for me when I arrived. I ordered the chicken queso bowl with half greens and half rice. It was very filling but at the same time I didn't feel guilty eating it. The limeade is a must try when you go there. It tasted like it was made with fresh squeezed limes. They also had a mango limeade but I didn't try that this time. Everything in the restaurant looked very clean. There seemed to always be one worker watching and cleaning after someone left. read more

Just an overpriced Chipotle really. Nice fresh food though. Service was pleasant and didn't take too long. The store was clean and decorated nicely. read more

My food is always delicious and fresh. My favorite bowl is the tahini cucumber feta, so good!

If you want a salad bowl, you need to go here. Especially if you don't want to enter the store. Either way, you'll meet Jason. The kindest guy ever. So enthusiastic, full of energy and polite. Made sure everything was perfect. Have been here 3 times in the past week. Keep wanting to go back for more ! Shout out JASON ! read more

They don't accept cash and the food is just okay. I only used the drive through so I have no review of the interior. Management reached out, just now, citing "employee protection" as their reason to stifle cash as a payment method. They didn't touch on the "just okay" food issue. . . My rating stands -- two stars -- and I'll continue to take my business elsewhere. read more

Soooo goooood. My first time here and I'm super impressed. I was about to settle for Chipotle but I really didn't want to. I'm so glad I decided to try Gusto. I don't think I'll need chipotle anymore read more

First time here! All the salads are premade! You choose your base, either rice or mixed greens, or half and half. I opted for their new queso verde queso with mixed greens! Delicious! Listen!! It didn't make it home. I took a "quick" bite in the car to taste it before heading home, needless to say 7 min later I was done with the whole salad. Next time I'm dining in! There's plenty of space and it even looked like they have outdoor seating for warmer weather. The restaurant was clean and all the staff was friendly and eager to tell me about Gusto and all the options they offer! Will be back! read more

The service was very friendly! It was my first time and they explained the menu to me thoroughly! The ambiance was modern and fun! I got the chipotle mango avocado bowl with tofu and I don't typically care for tofu but theirs was pretty good! I also got the mango limeade which was delicious and unique as well! read more

Gusto - Chipotle Mango Avocado - New American Near Me - Buford, Georgia

I can't actually rate this place since I've never been. I really would like to try it, but their health rating has me really concerned. It looks like they haven't been checked in nine months. Maybe things have changed for the better, but I can't justify going. It's not even a solid B rating. Bad enough that one violation is poor management knowledge. No way the employees can be expected to do the right thing if the manager is unsure. The other violations being temperature control is not good also. That can be very sickening to people. read more
