I have to appreciate that there is someplace to get a good bowl with some healthiER options than the fast food around the block. The drive through is super convenient too. It's not necessarily "fast" food, as they make your bowls when you order, but not a terrible wait. The lady at the window was super friendly, and tried to help us make sense of how to order. The menu seems simple, and there aren't a whole lot of variations like you'd probably expect at a walk-in salad bar. From the drive through, the counters looked clean and the diner looked in order. The area around is nice, and the decor is bright and cheery. Now our bowls were actually delicious! The spicy chicken is not a mild spice, so be prepared. The flavor was great, though, so if you like heat AND flavor, I'd say try it. Not too salty for me, and I tend to stay away from too much sauce or added salt. We ordered some of the lemon cookies, one of which was supposed to be a seasonal blueberry-lemon. The cookies are enormous, but they lacked any real flavor. We liked the choices of drinks, including an energy tea. Overall, a good place. read more

Gusto is amazing! Best menu at any bowl place (up there with Cava of course). I have tried various options but my favorite is the Chipotle Mango Avocado with half rice and half salad base. Everything here is so fresh and delicious. Super refreshing ingredients and sauces. I cannot recommend enough. read more

Chef's kiss! BIG shoutout to the workers from the gentleman at the drive-thru window and whoever made my wrap! Y'all did your thing! This was actually my first time ever getting a wrap from Gusto because I'm usually running to Chipotle. But HUNNY... this wrap was wrapped SO nicely and clean! Nothing was spilling out, falling apart, or making a mess. I was only able to eat half because it was so filling! I would've posted a picture, but... yeah, I had already bitten through it. So, what did I order? Spicy  chicken Wrap Chipotle Mango Avocado Extra side of Chipotle Cream Sauce And let me tell you... TRY IT and thank me later! It does have a kick. So pour extra sauce before each bite.. Also, the gentleman working the drive-thru was so polite and pleasant. Great customer service makes the food taste even better! read more

As is often the case, we had lunch here after church last Sunday. My wife had Spicy Grilled Chicken over half rice and half greens with Chipotle Mango Avocado dressing. I had the same Spicy Grilled Chicken over brown rice with Lemon Pepper Ranch dressing. We both had a glass of sweet iced tea since the fountain drink machine was not working. The meal was tasty enough, not very spicy, and filling. The place was clean and our food was ready promptly. read more

I was able to try gusto! through work and it was very good! They had prebuilt bowls and I chose the tahini cucumber feta. I ended up not using all of the provided sauce but it was very tasty and it made me feel good (more healthy than other food options). We also got sweet potato chips and a cookie. I got to try the chocolate chip cookie and the salted caramel (?) cookie- both were crispy on the edges and chewy in the middle, very delicious. We also got a gallon of the limeade, which I can say I was not a fan of. It was so sour and the taste was very off-putting, however that was the only item I didn't like. read more

I went yo Gusto with a friend and was pleasantly surprised. The meal was healthy and delicious. I got the Chipotle Mango Avocado Bowl (half brown rice & half lettuce) with Shrimp, which was amazing. It came with BBQ Sweet Potato Chips and I got a lemonade to drink. This meal was awesome! Free parking is available. Definitely check them out! read more

Cute little place that at first glance gave me cafe vibes. You order at the counter, pay at another and by the time you head to get your drink, your food is ready. Service is efficient and friendly. I ordered the Polynesian chili mango bowl with tofu as my protein and 1/2 and 1/2 as the base. This was a terrific bowl. I was worried since all the choices looked good but I picked the right one for me. The rice was warm and the lettuce was crisp. The veggies were seasoned and I discovered I really didn't need the tofu (which there was plenty). Only thing I would have liked is the lettuce on top of the rice instead of beside it. I really would have been just as happy if I had only gotten the brown rice as my base. But it was still good. read more

Gusto - East Cobb - Polynesian Chili Mango with tofu - Salad Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

The procedure of ordering was ridiculous with an overly-cute policy of asking for your name and then calling you "Miss Linda" all the way down the line. I asked for menu prices and she wouldn't give them, just hurried me along to another station where she rang up the order, which was hastily and sloppily arranged. Then my cash was refused; they only take debit/credit cards. She acted amped up as if she were "on something" when preparing my meal and smirked when I got my order. I'm never going there again. This is supposedly a healthy restaurant, but the sodium level is sky high, much too high to be considered a healthy option. read more

I would stay away from this location, we usually go to the one in Chamblee but moved to Sandy Springs, we like the queso salad, the queso cheese is watered down and gross it takes away the appeal, I've never had watery cheese until I came to this location. Also the service is a bit slower than Chamblee and the personnel isn't that upbeat but the real issue is watered down cheese sauce. read more

Picked up the lunch from Gusto and such amazing food ! The chicken is simply outstanding - with a Smokey flavor of burnt-looking texture but with soft and chewy - yummy favor. There was some leftover and I warming it next day was equally delicious! Very quick and easy ! Healthy and delectable t Sweet potato chips were a great addition. read more

We came here to grab dinner on a Sunday night. The place was very clean with a lot of seating. Food came out fast. The bowl doesn't look that big, but I was surprised how filling it was. It was spicy enough and full of flavor. Oh and I love that all bowls come with a side of sweet potato chips. read more

Been here a couple of times to eat healthy. I have not been inside but only used the drive through which is convenient. There is seating inside for patrons. Bowls take about 3 to 4 minutes to prepare so you aren't waiting long. When you order a bowl there are several options: choose your starch / grain / while / brown rice and then build from there or choose from one of their premade options. I have enjoyed the Tahini Bowl with optional brown rice, cucumbers and feta with shrimp and on another day tried it with Tofu. Both were good and hit the spot. I usually hold the feta and add avocado. Each bowl comes with a complimentary bag of sweet potato chips. It's nice to have a healthy dietary option. My bowls have been on average $16 so not cheap but you can't put a price on health. read more

I haven't been to Jicho since well before the pandemic. It Hass to been at least four years. I decided to give it a try because I want something on the healthier side. After leaving CVS, I hopped over. I was greeted by an older gentleman who was kind and full of suggestions. I tried his suggestion. It was some sort of a harvest seasonal meal they had been advertising. I gave it a try. i'm not a fan of ranch, but the dressing was tasty. I sat in the restaurant which is something I'd like to get back to doing but it's hard these days because service is not great. However, here I was pleasantly pleased. I was even checked on while sitting enjoying my meal. The restaurant was clean and the water was cold. read more

i ordered the meal thru doordash. I've never eaten here before. i was so happy! the portion was large and everything was so fresh! i got the verde queso bowl with a mix on the rice and mixed greens. the avocado was a whole half and fresh. the toppings were so plentiful, i actually got 3 meals out of this bowl. and the flavors were perfect together. i also ordered a pecan chicken salad. the portion i got was large and was worth more than 1 meal for sure. the food is wonderful, the prices are fair for the amount you get and i will be ordering again very soon!! read more

Noticed this place opened on our drive somewhere and came back in the way back. We ordered 3 items and had our two kids share the third item instead of ordering the kids meal. We had the chipotle mango avocado (chicken) and two of the Chile sesame bbq (chicken and spicy chicken) and did all bowls 1/2 salad 1/2 rice. Overall we thought our meals were tasty but the price point was a bit high. This place reminded us of chipotle and we like the flexibility of being able to choose our own ingredients at chipotle. However, I do like that the 6 choices offered at gusto all have unique flavors and our food did come out really fast. Some things that could have been improved: 1) it's confusing where you order and where you pay and pick up your food. I feel like the Avalon gusto has a better set up and I was a lot less confused. I also wish you could order and pay first, and then pick up your food at another section. 2) we ordered one of our dishes with spicy chicken but the person handing us our order could not tell us which one had spicy chicken. We later found labels on the bottom paper which told us. 3) love the seating area outdoors but really wish there was a way to exit without having to go through the restaurant again. Also, parking gets really tight because the seating area jets out into the parking. 4) I wish they had a "new" or "featured" bowl each week or month. It would really change it up and encourage me to visit more. Overall we had a great meal and I love the fact that there's a drive through option and outdoor seating. I would visit again and utilize the drive through instead of eating in. I love the fact that healthier options are coming to east Cobb! I increased my review from 3 to 4 stars because that's not enough healthy restaurants with drive through options in the area and this is a welcome addition. read more

So far as I could tell, this is either primarily or solely a drive through establishment, which was fortunately what we were looking for on this day. The meals consist of combinations of rice bowls with protein and vegetables/fruit with a savory sauce with a bit of spicy. The combinations are pre-determined, but you do get to choose whether your base is rice, greens, or a combination of the two, and the meals are accompanied with a bag of sweet potato chips, which is a nice bonus, but honestly seems like a non sequitur, and does not go with the rest of the meal. You get the sense that maybe they are trying to get a toehold in the sweet potato chip market and are offering free samples. The food was tasty and fresh, nicely packed in a paper bowl with a snapped on plastic lid. The portion size was good for a fairly modest appetite. If you are accustomed to making your own poke bowl at certain restaurants, you might feel like you're not getting quite as much food for a similar cost. One thing that I did find curious is that there is an online app by which you can make your order. I had initially started two orders this way, then decided to abandon it and order from the drive through since it was our first time. Online, the order was going to be $10 for the basic bowl, plus $3 for the protein. So each bowl would have been $13. But ordering at the drive through, the total order was something around $24 for both bowls, so I'm not sure whether ordering online through the app adds a convenience fee or whether there was a difference between the two orders that I did not initially detect. The mango chili bowl was delicious with grilled chicken. The jerk chicken was just okay, but neither my friend nor I liked either of the sauces that came with it, and we would not order this one again. It was quite spicy without adding much other appealing flavor, although the bowl otherwise looked great and was fine without the additional sauce. Overall I would probably choose a poke bowl restaurant where I could select my own toppings if both were available, but if this is the only one, I'll definitely take it and be happy! read more

I have eaten at Gusto twice. During the first visit, I had a salad that had an Alabama-style white BBQ sauce. It was amazing! I went back and was hoping to indulge in the same but learned it was a seasonal special (hint hint ... this one should come back!). The next I tried a lemon artichoke salad and subbed tahini dressing for the tzatziki. It was also phenomenal. I also applaud the staff for their flexibility. They were happy to navigate around my pickiness and subbed out things for others that were perfect. Thanks folks!! My only wish - I would love to see a sub for the sweet potato chips. They aren't for me and there isn't an alternative. read more

I wasn't blown away by it, but I think this is a pretty good, reliable spot. This is more of a lunch location to me though. They offer 8 different bowls toppings, 4 different meats, and 3 different bowl bases, which is why they can make orders quickly. I ate in and got a Buffalo Buttermilk Blue bowl with spicy chicken. While the spicy chicken might have been muted in the buffalo sauce, I thought overall this bowl was a little small, but pretty good. Definitely fresh. These meals come with sweet potato chips, and unfortunately my bag was definitely from the bottom of the container, as it was largely chip dust and had few whole chips in it. If you told me they took a mallet to the bag, I'd believe it. With that minor issue out of the way, they offer 6 different hot sauces, a variety of other condiments, and a wide array of flavor profiles for you. Everything's fresh, clean, reasonably healthy, and nothing inoffensive about it, although I'd stop short of calling it a home run or hidden gem. read more

The ordering process was quick and simple going through the drive thru. The staff was friendly and had a great attitude. The only reason for the low score was due to having wilted veggies. I was really disappointed when I got home to see that my salad was not edible. The flavor was great but the look was not appealing. I will say Daniel one of the managers was willing to reimburse my purchase and comp a new salad. That was the positive. Too bad I didn't get to try it. Will go back and hope it's a better food experience. read more

We need more Gustos!!! Better than Sweetgreen, CAVA and chipotle! Love love love this place.

Ordered the Harissa Lemon Tabbouleh with grilled chicken and brown rice. Very tasty and sauces were excellent. Also had Tahini Cucumber Feta with half greens and couscous with spicy grilled chicken. The chicken was appropriately seasoned. Sauces were excellent. The temperature was warm, leaning to room temperature. Would have liked the food hotter. Good customer service and fast (could be why the food is only slightly warm). Will be back. read more

East Cobb location is rarely crowded so 0 wait time and there is sufficient variety to visit several times a week for a great salad.

I honestly didn't expect to get such good service! I was told to try this place by a friend. She hasn't had Cava and i hadn't had Gusto. I can see the similarities but these places are different!! I will say the service was 100% better than most places in the area. I had never been and i came kinda close to closing! The staff was soooo nice and patient. They were cleaning when i walked in, but i was greeted when they noticed me. I didn't really know what i wanted but They walked me through the menu and even gave me a tasting of the two sauces i was torn between. I didn't feel rushed, they honestly seemed like they wanted me to like my food!! I got the rice and green mix and the ginger peanut sauce with chicken!! Whew that sauce was amazing! I was done... yes i ate the entire bowl and just wanted to just get one more bite! They have a reward system which is always nice!! I'll be back!! read more

Gusto East Cobb had the grand opening today. A soft opening was held 8/21/21 where you could get free food through the drive through line. Today, I purchased the Buffalo Buttermilk Greens Bowl. The Buffalo Buttermilk Bowl has a Blue Cheese Pickled Vegetable Topping with a really good Buffalo sauce. I liked the pickled celery and tomatoes but I do not eat dairy so I just had the Blue Cheese Topping put on the side. I also had some of the Mango Limeade and the Limeade. The Mango Limeade and the Limeade had an interesting flavor to me. The lime flavor was strong in both but did not have the citrus flavor I would expect from a limeade. I also enjoyed the Buffalo Sauce topping. My favorite add on option is the Baby Bella mushrooms. They have great flavor and texture. I think those should be offered as a vegan protein option like the tofu instead of only being offered as an add on. The staff is so nice personable at Gusto. There is a covered outdoor seating area at this location with a long bench and tables. There are also a lot of parking spaces in the parking lot. read more

Good food. I love the Mediterranean flair. The service is also friendly and efficient.

I cannot speak the praises of this restaurant enough. Gusto offers different options of "curated" bowls, each with different flavors. This isn't Chipotle or Moe's. You don't pick each individual item to make something custom. Also, this is a healthy place. You're getting brown rice and sweet potato chips, not white rice and fried tortilla chips covered in queso. It's also not a place to eat yourself sick and have half a bowl worth of leftovers. It's a good serving amount, no doubt, but I don't leave unbuttoning my pants. Instead, I feel "good" and not sick. Gusto is superb, and ever since my first visit at the Ponce location, I counted down the days until it opened closer to me in East Cobb. This is a quick, affordable, healthy option to get really good bowls that won't leave you feeling sluggish. I wish they'd open up on Barrett Parkway, because it'd boom (and I'd eat there weekly!) read more

What a wonderful refreshing place for a flavorful and satisfyingly meal. This was our first visit after being referred to go there by a friend. The store is so bright and welcoming. Where so many places are shorthanded today there was a full staff and working hard. They all were wearing masks and I never saw anyone lower them. Chef Shawn you have a great thing going here. Misty thank you, for helping us understand the choices. The sweet potato chips were a great surprise addition to our lunch. They have a double lane drive in to help for a quick pickup.

Menu is pretty limited but there is one item that I like. A little on expensive side for portion size but food is all fresh so probably still a good value. Biggest complaint is they didn't give me a fork when doing thru drive thru. You can't eat their food without a fork so it was a real issue and I didn't realize it until I was 20 min away. This was second time it happened so check your order carefully before you leave. Also when you pay you'll be asked to tip 20% for drive through service. Seems odd but maybe this is new standard. I'll go back but there is some room for improvement. read more
