They have a variety of sides to choose from, meat , fish and tofu options and natural juices and sodas. I usually order the salmon, sweet potato, farro, or the mac and cheese, Brussels sprouts, broccoli or carrots. Everything is always fresh. I enjoy coming here for lunch.

Once we took the elevator down from the parking garage, we were very easily able to find the restaurant. There was plenty of indoor and outdoor seating available, and when we walked in the staff greeted us immediately and gave a quick run down of the menu items to the first timers in the group. The food was all freshly prepared and all of the options on the menu were readily available. We each placed our order and decided to eat inside because it was a pretty hot day. The restaurant was also very clean from what I could see, and of course the food was fresh and tasted delicious, however the steak was overcooked. Usually it is served medium, but this time around it looks like it was well done. Overall, I give this location 4 stars and would definitely stop by again if I was in the area.

Fast forward many years of trying different places, traveling abroad and expanding my palate.... Boys how things have changed. A few months ago I got a salad but was extremely let down.

Not only is it way overpriced, the portions are too small and the flavors just don't do it for me anymore.

Fresh, Massive Bowls Right Across from FIU…read more If you are looking for a solid spot near Florida International University that moves beyond the standard fast-casual chain, The Green Chicken is a great find. It's located right across the road from campus, making it an easy win for students or anyone in Sweetwater looking for a reliable, healthy-ish meal. The interior is pretty standard--a nondescript, counter-service setup designed for efficiency. However, the outdoor seating area is where this place really shines. It is well-shaded and shielded from the Florida sun, creating an inviting space whether you're meeting up with friends or need a spot to pop open the laptop and get some work done. The menu is surprisingly expansive, but the best way to describe the experience, at least for what I ordered, is an elevated Chipotle bowl. I went with the Jerk Chicken bowl over black beans (no rice). The Chicken had a nice, clean flavor. It wasn't seasoned to the extreme, so if you're looking for a massive spice kick, you might want to ask for extra sauce, but the quality of the meat was clear. The black beans were cooked perfectly, and all the veggie add-ins were crisp and fresh. The staff here is incredibly friendly and they clearly pride themselves on the "heavy hand"--the portions are huge. You definitely won't leave hungry. It's a great local alternative when you want something fresh, fast, and substantial.

If you're around Brickell, and specially if you work around the area, and craving something fresh,…read morebalanced, Happeas is a superb spot. We tried the Chicken Shawarma Pita Pocket, and it clearly is better than any other sandwich option. The soft pita wraps around warm, creamy hummus (honestly one of the best in the city), pickled red cabbage, Mediterranean pickles, and that well-seasoned chicken shawarma. The mix of lemon tahini, mango aioli, a touch of spicy relish, caramelized plantains, and roasted red pepper sauce gives it a really layered flavor without feeling heavy. Everything works together, and nothing competes. We also had the Cilantro Falafel Bowl, which comes with a base of hummus and lemon cabbage salad. The falafel with lemon tahini is crispy on the outside and soft inside, and the bowl is packed with roasted cabbage, cherry tomatoes, English cucumbers, chickpeas, pickles, pickled red cabbage, and pita wedges. It's simple, very fresh, and filling in a clean way. One thing that stands out at Happeas is the personalized attention, you actually feel taken care of, and there's a good chance you'll meet the owner while you're there. The vibe is relaxed, not rushed, and they've thought about small details, like having a self-serve water machine with still and sparkling options, which is a nice touch. Overall, Happeas delivers honest, well-made food with flavors that feel intentional but not overdone. Great spot for a quick lunch that doesn't taste like a compromise.

I ordered the chipotle chicken bowl and added avocado, I was offered a sample of their frozen yogurt and açaí. The frozen yogurt is a sweet treat and I also ordered a frozen yogurt bowl with blueberries instead of bananas. Everything was delicious and made to order. I'd definitely return when in the area or if I happen to see another store in a different area. Definitely give them a try, service was friendly and quick and the restaurant was clean. You can also dine in if you'd like. The chipotle bowl I forgot take a picture of but the website picture is exactly what the bowl looked like.

Upon checking in next door at the Hampton Inn we were provided a 5 dollar off coupon towards any purchase. I ordered one of the Signature Wraps - Chipotle Chicken and honey 10 out of 10!!! One of the freshest wraps I've ever tasted in my life. No exaggeration. And get that green sauce! WOW! In addition to the wrap I ordered a side of sweet potato waffle fries and a shot of espresso, because I of course I did. Everything was delicious, fresh, and cooked to order. The wrap was huge and we split it. Protein PACKED! The service was great and the staff were helpful because I had several questions. Now, I will say that aside from the food being top tier - the other stand out quality for me was the cleanliness of the eatery! You could smell the products being put to use. I'm here for it. Sproutz offers a variety of food items, drinks, and sides/snacks. You're sure to find something to eat regardless of your eating habits. Go check them out and order everything! Actually just get the wrap and send me a compliment after!

You can immediately tell how fresh and healthier everything is. I tried the barbecue chicken and it was amazing. Super flavorful and paired really well with the sides I chose. Service was quick and really friendly. Since it was my first time and they weren't busy, they let me sample different items and even encouraged me to try more so I could figure out what I liked. That extra attention made the experience feel welcoming and not rushed at all. They have indoor dining, but I especially love the outdoor seating since it's right in the heart of town. The ambiance outside is lively and perfect for people watching while you eat. Overall, such a great healthy fast casual option. Definitely glad I chose this over my usual Chipotle run. I'll be back.
