This time was different. I went to the meat counter and was second in line to order some filet mignon for $40 per pound.

I was at the store on August 18th at 4:30 PM. Next time, I will go to Wegmans.

I occasionally crave an açai bowl and stumbled upon this location a few months ago. Since it's not…read morean açai-only place, they don't have many options for açai but if you're looking to grab a smoothie with a sandwich, this place has what you're looking for. I always get the regular açai bowl and ask for extra bananas instead of strawberries, since I'm mildly allergic. Prices are reasonable for the portion size and service is fast. If you're sitting at a table while waiting, they sometimes even bring it out to you. Good amount of seating inside, good amount of parking outside since it's in a plaza, and staff are friendly. As long as I live near the area, I'll keep coming back for açai bowls and maybe even venture to try some of their other options.

Shake Shack in Dedham's Legacy Place is a reliable stop that benefits from its location as much as…read moreits menu. We walked into a space that sits at street level with a seating area handling the volume of a busy lunch or dinner crowd reasonably well, and the lively atmosphere made it a comfortable place to settle into rather than just a grab and go counter. The ShackBurger is the obvious anchor and holds up to the brand's reputation, juicy and well assembled with the cheese and sauce distribution landing evenly across the patty in a way that keeps each bite consistent. The Shack Stack is worth upgrading to if you want something more substantial, and the shroom burger is a strong option for anyone who wants something different from the standard beef lineup. The cheese fries are among the most ordered sides and are the right call over the standard fries if you want something that holds up better through the meal. Consistency is the main variable worth noting. Temperature and timing can be hit or miss depending on how busy the location is running, with burgers occasionally coming out on the cooler side when the kitchen is stacking orders. Getting there during a slightly off peak window tends to produce a better result, and online ordering pickup can be uneven in terms of staff attentiveness at this location. The overall experience remains solid for a fast casual burger stop in a busy outdoor mall setting, but calibrating expectations on timing makes the visit smoother.

Terrible. This already overpriced burger ($10.48) was thrown together without any care whatsoever…read more Bun was crunched and practically folded in half, toppings were thrown on and falling off. In addition, I ordered no pickles and it was covered in pickles. Setting aside the fact that Shake Shack is already way overpriced for mediocre fast food, this is ridiculous. I might as well have gone to Burger King for the same quality but at least pay half the price. The quality has gone way down, likely because they keep trying to add all sorts of items to their menu that make it more work for the employees. You want a good fast food burger, go to Five Guys (much better french fries). I would give it zero stars but gave it 1 star is because when I complained they refunded my money. But that does not change the fact that my meal was unappetizing and not what I ordered.

Today I really wanted to try their newest collab, the Sweetgreen x Fishwife Tuna Niçoise Salad, and it was fantastic! Tinned fish has become trendy and Fishwife does a lovely job balancing aesthetics with great taste. This salad was the perfect balance of freshness & heartiness. The only downside was it was expensive (about $19 after tax) so it better be a damn good salad (which it was). Service-wise it's better to order pickup via the app for convenience. Oftentimes if we ask the staff for anything they seem to get annoyed.

Sweetgreen is a fast-casual spot focused on salads, warm bowls, and wraps made with fresh…read moreingredients. We walked into a bright, modern space with a clean, minimalist design that matches the brand's focus on fresh, healthy food. The layout is efficient, with the assembly line running along the counter and the dining area set up with a mix of communal tables and smaller seating. The atmosphere is casual and energetic, the kind of place that works well for a quick lunch or a grab-and-go meal, with a steady flow of customers moving through the line throughout the day. The biggest appeal is the ingredient quality and variety. Their bowls combine greens, grains, proteins, vegetables, and dressings in a way that keeps the meals from feeling repetitive. We ordered the Kale Caesar, which is one of the more popular options, and found the flavors well balanced and satisfying without feeling overly heavy. The kale held up well against the dressing, and the parmesan and croutons added enough texture to keep the bowl interesting. The seasonal bowls also offer variety, and the ability to customize ingredients means you can swap or remove certain toppings depending on your preference. The menu feels well curated, with enough options to keep repeat visits interesting. The portions are generally satisfying, especially when you add protein or extras like avocado. We noticed that the base bowls are generous on their own, but the add-ons add extra richness and make the meal feel more substantial. The pricing is a little higher compared to other fast-casual chains, but the meals usually feel more balanced and made with fresher ingredients, which justifies the cost for a healthier meal option. The produce is consistently fresh, and the preparation feels intentional rather than rushed. The ordering process is simple with both in-store and app options, though wait times can vary during busy hours. We ordered at the counter and found the line moved at a steady pace, with the staff working efficiently to keep the flow moving. The restaurant itself is usually clean and works well for a quick lunch or takeout, with the seating area staying tidy even during peak times. The staff are friendly and helpful, answering questions about the menu and offering suggestions without pressure. Sweetgreen is a reliable choice for a convenient healthy meal. It is more expensive than a typical fast-food option, but the customizable bowls, fresh ingredients, and lighter menu make it a good alternative when you want something different from the usual fast-casual offerings. The balance of flavors and the quality of the ingredients keep it as a go-to option for a meal that feels both nourishing and satisfying.

We got two sandwiches (tomato mozzarella, spicy fiesta chicken), soup (broccoli cheddar), a full baguette, and a Greek salad. We also ordered the chicken avo sandwich on the side.

There…read morewas a large Indian population in the restaurant, which was a good sign in my opinion, as it typically reveals that it's authentic and attracts people familiar with the Indian cuisine, which is just what we were after. Once we were seated, we were able to look through their expansive menu. They have a lot of great Indian dishes, many of which I was familiar with, and others I was not familiar with, which was actually kind of nice. I decided on the Andhra chicken, which was a new dish I've never tried. The chicken comes with a spicy curry sauce that isn't too hot, but that has enough heat to keep the dish interesting. Of course, with many Indian dishes, it also came with a large side of rice, and was more than enough to fill me up for a single meal. Overall, the meal was a great, as was most of the experience. The only downside was that our waiter never really actually spoke to us. While he would stop by frequently to refill water and remove plates/silverware, he never said anything. I wasn't entirely sure if it was just his personality or if there was perhaps a language barrier that may have existed, but either way, the experience was all around pleasant with the exception of that.
