    Earth Bowl
    Divya V.

    My employer recently catered from Just Salad for lunch for a work event and it was sucha good decision. This is the first time I'm trying Just Salad but it definitely won't be my last. They have a huge variety of cold and hot bowls, everything curated with a good blend of protein and greens. I picked up Earth Bowl which included Kale, beetroot, sweet potatoes, almonds, quinoa and vegan feta cheese.. it was all yum! Definitely going back to this place when I'm again in the Loop area and I recommend this place to all Salad lovers!

    Tshirt I was wearing.

    So they offer a $5 wrap after 3 pm today for Halloween. I have a Halloween Tshirt on and it seems the person checking me out doesn't think it qualifies. Not sure why they offer a deal if you have to be in cosplay to get the deal. Poor choice in customer service.

    Warm harvest bowl. It was okay. Too many tomatoes and not enough kale.  7/10

    Sweetgreens is better. I ordered their Forager's warm bowl and it just didn't taste as balance as it should. There were way too many tomatoes and tofu pieces and not enough kale or goat cheese. And this is coming from someone who loves tofu. It was filling, but I didn't enjoy it. Sweetgreens is expensive, but I feel like they really put their heart and soul into it and all of the ingredients always balance. I do like the idea of the reusable bowls but I don't think I would return to this particular salad place.

    Just Salad, a great and wonderful spot, usually. I'm impressed with the concept of a healthy eating establishment. I have been to Just Salad about 5 or 6 times and I'm in and out and the staff is fast, friendly and I'm out the door in as fast as I came in. I'm not too sure and or maybe it was an off day for them.. but I'm a bit disappointed.. NO!... I was disappointed. I was to especially enough to write a review within 10 minutes after buying this "wrap". I wouldn't say this review isn't too bad... but it's not too good either. I ordered from Yelp and I understood the wait.. not as bad as if I would have ordered and waited in person.. because I ordered towards the end of the lunch rush and more towards the lunch lull.. I came in and there were 3 women already complaining about waiting and how things/items were missing from their orders.. I paid them no mind and had faith that was not the case with my order. Now.. the reason why I wrote a 3-star review versus usually a 4 or 5-star review. I picked up my order quickly and rushed back to the office anticipating.. waiting... salivating.. to tear in and devour this wrap. I took one bite and something.. was off.. first thing I noticed the Spicy Chicken wrap was missing a few things.. the Poblano sauce that adds that Zest.. that KICK! I'm looking for and the cheese was non-existent. In addition, the wrap wasn't wrap at all,it was falling apart in my hands and finally the coup-DE-grace.. I found someone's hair in the paper around the wrap.. NOW.. in sheer horror I could only think.. maybe that's the only one.. or maybe not. If you were me, would you take a chance? Probably not. Right? Sadly.. I had to throw it away and go back out and get the complete opposite of what I wanted today.. McDonald's.. Just Salad.. maybe I can forgive you..and maybe I can forget but it will be a while before I go to you again.

    Pretty quick service and nice food. For byo salad/bowl there are limited topping options, especially if you're wanting warm food.

    Chipotle Cowboy Salad
    John Z.

    Ordered the Chipotle Cowboy Salad. Awesome salad for many reasons. Fills you up for sure with the amount of greens you have to eat. The chipotle Vinaigrette was super tasty and my new favorite dressing. Very quick service as it showed it would take 30 mins to get to my office but took 20 mins instead. Only thing I feel gypped on was the amount of grilled chicken. There was barley any. I was screaming where's the rest! Was sad about that but I'm still giving it 4 stars because of the great taste and size of this salad! Definitely will order from here again

    Found a hair that was not mine in the salad :(

Dresscode: Smart Casual / Casual Noise Level: Medium (it gets buzzy after 5:30pm) Thursday night Happy Hour was lively, so it took about 10-15 minutes for someone to come around, but service was attentive once we got going. The food is where Ēma really shines. From the Happy Hour menu, the Charred Eggplant Hummus and Crispy Potatoes were generously portioned and great for sharing. On the main menu, the Indian-Mediterranean fusion Bhel Hummus was a party for my taste buds, while the Hot Honey Halloumi and Chicken Kefta rounded out the table nicely. The halloumi is more of a side than a main, but that sweet-and-salty hot honey combo was chef's kiss. For our finisher, the Chocolate Torte knocked us out. Decadent, delicious and chocolate with lots of depth. Overall, Ēma is an excellent spot to order a bunch of dishes for the table and get an elevated meal without feeling stuffy, and delicious without taking itself too seriously. DO's: - Make a reservation ahead, especially for happy hour 4-6pm - Treat apps like small plates, order 2-3 to sample - Entertain their wine list, they have a lot! - Bring vegetarians here, there are plenty of options DON'Ts: - Dismiss the desert menu. It's fantastic and shareable! - Forget to ask for extra pita with the hummus! - Miss out on the LettuceEats loyalty points (check-in with your server before paying your check)

    Travel is hell when you have celiac. I am sensitive to the parts per million level and one bad bite…read moreof food can keep me up all night, or send me to bed or the hotel bathroom for days. I will spare the details. I am not a gluten free trendy who has a pastry for desert; this is an issue that's followed me my whole life. Usually when trveling, I end up eating carrots, rotisserie chicken and coldcuts when my supply of hard boiled eggs runs out. Every now and then I hit the jackpot. I arrived in Chicago on a Thrusday afternoon in September and first thing, set out around the neighborhood to find a restaurant where I might be able to eat. All the usual kinds of places (naerly all of them corporate) were out of the discussion when I spotted Doc Bs at 55 E. Grand Ave. The exterior was low-key but for some reason I was drawn to it. I went in to check the place out. Usually this part of the discussion goes like a legal deposition. "What do you know, and how do you know it?" I asked for a menu; I was handed one and began to read carefully. Among other things, they offered a kind of rice bowl dish, a bit like hot poke (the Wok Out Bowl). It came with a diversity of sauces -- Curry, Sesame Teriyaki , Sweet & Spicy Thai, etc. I said, "Which of these sauces has no gluten?" "All of them," said someone named Cassandra, responding in a confident voice. She was the general manager. "Our company takes food sensitivity very seriously. We also have gluten free deep fryers." I pushed a little harder: Cassanda said she could account for every ingredient in every dish on the menu. Right away I was having a 1 in 1000 expeience. Even in the top tier of places aware of the gluten issue (which is no longer vogue), I am often saved by a server who has a clue what goes into the food. Cross-contamination is an issue; as is ignorance about product. Gluten-safe dining is usually based on a stripped down menu; and some places commit outright fraud by neglecting to mention known issues in the kitchen but still saying GF on the menu. My theory of keeping gluten out of restaurant food is **start with none, and add it only where you need it**, which is nearly in nothing. She said that's exactly what we do. My second theory of gluten free is **parity of experience**. That means that everyone at the table has an equivalent experience. The whole table does not enjoy sumptuous deserts while the GF person gets canned pears. At Doc B's I could eat anything on the menu, including French fries and chips and salsa (small, taken-for-granted pleasures by most diners). My third theory of gluten free dining is **no gluen free upcharge.** It's tacky, and adds insult to injury (especially when a GF bun or bread is subpar, as was NOT the case at Doc B's). Doc B's got 100% on all counts. That and the food was consistently excellent. I ate there seven times over five days trying many things (but having a lot of Wok Out bowls). I sent several people and brought four different friends, one of whom had such such extreme dietary restrictions he could usually order an apple. They accommodated him perfectly, with a positive attitude. And there you have it. This gets the highest possible rating from the Gluten Avenver -- seven stars. -- Eric F Coppolino

Luckily the window high top bar-seats were available. Not great for catching up in conversation over a meal, but it was better than the a fast food place nearby. The food was great! We had the guacamole as an appetizer - if you don't like cilantro - you will want to avoid it. It was an interesting appetizer, as it came with sweet potato chips. Both were good...not sure it pairs well. (I saved the guacamole for my burger) I had the wedge burger, primarily for the egg. It was great! The burger was perfectly cooked as was the sunny side up egg. I ordered it with a side of fries. Perfectly cooked fries. They give huge portions. I was able to share with my friends. I ordered a cranberry and tonic for a beverage. It was great, however, they served it in a "bar" glass, so it was not a lot of liquid. I had to order two. I prefer pint glasses for non-alcohol beverages. Tasted great, just needed more. Prices are reasonable for a city restaurant. Without tip for 4 adults, 4 entrees and 1 appetizer and soda-water beverages. It came to about $130. Parking...If you can walk or take a ride share. It's the city and parking options aren't great.

We were seated near the open windows in a pleasant and airy space. While I don't normally order salads, the sugar snap chicken salad caught my eye. It had a terrific balance of flavors: a base of arugula nicely dressed with a lemon vinaigrette and tossed with sliced snap peas and fennel, well-seasoned grilled chicken, farro, and pistachios. The ingredients were all very fresh and complemented each other well. Colleagues ordered the chicken sandwich and were very happy with it. Portions all around were generous. This is a place for a pretty hearty lunch rather than light bites. Service was friendly, though a little slow, and one of my colleagues had to remind them of her drink order. Prices were on the high side but not unusual for the neighborhood, and the high quality and size of my salad made me feel like the price point wasn't completely outrageous.

They played good music and wasn't too loud. You could easily carry on a conversation or , like me, continue listening to a podcast. By the time I finished, the place was completely full and a bit noisy, but not bad. I started out with a 10oz Birds of Prey Pilsner. It was very nice. Light and crisp and very easy to drink. I followed that up with Melodious Maibock and ordered the CBG burger with fries. I didn't have lunch so I dove right in and forgot to snap a photo. It was a very good smash burger. It was cooked well and I really liked the combination of pickled onion and caramelized onion. I didn't see it until later but you can add bacon. As much as I loved this burger, bacon would totally take it up a notch! I started chatting with the bartender about their different beers and decided to have the Super Melodious Jalapeño Maibock with the burger. It's soooo different, but in a good way. It paired so well with the burger. You get green bell pepper on the nose and a hint of it on the palate. When you swallow you get a little heat at the back of the throat. It was so good! Great bar.
