After being told this new little restaurant spot opened in mid-February, I was surprised to find no…read morereviews. Located in an established strip mall by a high-traffic intersection at Kingston Pike and S. Peter's, Greens and Grains is easy to get in and out of with plenty of parking. The interior is spotlessly clean (including the restrooms!) and comprised of two connected dining areas and kitchens. One has a trendy, airy feel with cool green and white tones, while the other is darker with metal and wood elements, a game area, and a large open grill/prep area. The reason for the two different vibes was not immediately clear to me. Actually, it never became more clear during the hour or so I spent there, but I can appreciate a good mystery. This is NOT a fast food joint. In fact, it is slow. Agonizingly slow if you're in a hurry. This is a place to come when you are with a group of people you find highly entertaining (or when you heft along a great book) and don't mind waiting. After ordering two sandwiches and sides, my friend and I waited almost 20 minutes for our food to appear at our table. The macaroni salad was pleasantly flavorful, without the overcooked noodles and runny sauce so often found with this deli counter staple. The turkey and Brie was also good and grilled to buttery-crisp perfection. The sandwich, side, and a drink cost just under $20, so it's neither bargain-priced nor exotic, but fresh ingredients are not cheap. Only one employee was working in each of the two halves of the restaurant, so I imagine if they want to speed up their service, they are going to need to schedule more people. The two employees were both delightfully friendly, though, and they aren't just paying lip service to customer service, a goal plainly outlined on all the napkin dispensers and evidenced by their actions. Despite the slow service, I'm giving them a 5 for their dedication to quality ingredients and excellent customer service. I hope they make it for the long haul, and I'll definitely be back soon.

Plus, the purchase price of their chips goes to charity - it was fun picking our charity of choice. Service was excellent! The staff was enthusiastic and I must add "adorable". I'm returning next week.

Just right. The Tangerine Aleppo drink was refreshing with a tiny peppery kick. It was busy for dinner on Friday and it seems people were waiting a bit for their to-go orders but they did a good job of keeping the line inside moving. We were making 3 different bowls and there was a misunderstanding on the main. They added steak to the wrong bowl and remade it for me which is very much appreciated. A good number of tables inside that could work for small or bigger groups. There was also a small patio with outside seating,

I got a basic bowl and it was literally two full meals for me, and I had just finished playing tennis for 2 hours and was hungry! It's a great way to get quick and tasty Mediterranean food. It's a good concept, and I was pleased they had suggested or curated dishes--- sometimes it is hard to know how to COMBINE all the different meats/sauces/veggies, etc. So that was nice. For a casual fast-place, its very tasty...but give me a senior meal!

We had a reservation and were seated quickly at a cute table for two. Unbeknownst to us, it was taco Tuesday, suggesting $3 tacos of various proteins. We ordered three as an appetizer and were amazed by how tasty they were. Don't skip the tofu- that was our surprise favorite. My wife ordered the pork belly and I, the enlightened bowl. The pork belly was incredible- the best we've ever had. Tender, soft, rich, and a generous portion. Plenty of leftovers there. My enlightened bowl felt extremely healthy and fresh. I felt like a horse in a pasture. I stole many bites of pork. I might suggest adding a protein besides the salmon crumbles (it comes with those, but think tuna packet texture). Overall, we had a fantastic experience at Farmacy and look forward to our next visit.

The menu has a nice variety, and everything we had was enjoyable, though there were a few items that didn't completely stand out as exceptional. The service was friendly and efficient. The staff was welcoming and helpful, and the overall experience was smooth from start to finish. The ambiance was comfortable and casual, making it a good spot for a quick meal or a relaxed lunch/dinner. The atmosphere was clean and inviting, though it has more of a fast-casual feel than a traditional sit-down restaurant. Overall, Newk's is a reliable choice with good food, good service, and a comfortable atmosphere. We enjoyed our visit and would definitely consider coming back.

I got this pick-2 for under $14 and it was super tasty. The bread was what stood out to me- seemed really fresh.

My only complaint is there was a little bit of a wait and I was in a rush, but for how good the food tasted, it was so worth it! I also love that there is plenty of outdoor seating, which on this sunny day made my meal even better. I'm fully satisfied!

Not spectacular, as matter of fact my mother said she would be ok if we never went there again because her chicken sandwich was dry and no flavor. I had the Mountain Morning Bowl and it was ok. Eggs were cooked good but the grits were too thick to eat. I had ask for it to be served in a regular bowl because when I had ordered it before it was in a steal or cast iron pan that was not seasoned properly and it made the food taste rusty. My wife got the smash burger and it was good. The service has always been great. The restaurant was very clean and organized. I just wish the food was better.

We were greeted promptly and taken to our table. Within maybe a couple minutes our waiter Katie came by to check on us and get our beverage order. After looking over the extensive menu and enjoying the music tracks playing in the background we were finally ready to place our order. My wife ordered the won-ton tuna appetizer as her meal and I surprised myself by ordering the meatloaf special with green beans and onion rings. I know the meatloaf come with some onion straws. But I had a taste for actual onion rings and appetizer order plus the meatloaf dinner was going to be way too much. Meals arrive fairly quickly and I realize that there is a lot of meatloaf with a nice size bowl of green beans and my onion rings. Meatloaf was very tasty and still very warm. Green beans were perfectly seasoned and also very warm. Glad I didn't order the cheddar mashed potatoes as no way is all of this getting eaten tonight. However, the onion rings were HUGE and very good. You know how sometimes you order onion rings and either the onion pulls completely out or the batter falls apart? Well not these. They were very good and I am glad I substituted for them. My wife's tuna looked great and the won-tons were very crispy. The tuna was a little too peppery for her taste, but she was able to take a bunch of the pepper off. Overall, this is a great restaurant with moderate pricing that lets you leave full and not broke! Cant say enough though about Katie and next time we are back in town, I hope she is still there!

I wasn't sure whether to order the small or large since the sizes weren't clearly described, so I went with the small. It was more like a burger size, and I definitely wish I had gone with the large.

For the ambiance, my friend went in to pick up so I didn't go inside since it was just pick up. Overall, it's a great spot with a convenient location, and I'd try it again.

They literally have every fast food and chain dining experience on one block, but I didn't know that at the time but I'm tired of road trip Food so wanted to sit down for a good meal! Pulling into the parking lot and I was overwhelmed because it was huge and very crowded! We go to the desk and they tell us 25 minutes. This place was huge and very accommodating, they were getting people to their tables fast! We noticed two empty seats at the bar, so we opted to take them and had the pleasure of being served by Robert. He was attentive, made sure our waters were always full. He gave recommendations on his favorite dishes and was all around a great bartender! The guy working the other end of the bar was equally as professional. The ambience is a dark cool vibe, little trendy but people were dressed pretty casually! Answer the most important thing...The food! For an app, we got the beer, cheese fondue that came with apples, bread and pretzels. The beer cheese had a little bit of ooomph to it, which was refreshing because usually I'm not a big mustard person. The pretzel bites were incredible crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The apples were fresh all around the appetizer for 3 to 4 people so we took extra home. I ordered the 10 ounce sirloin cooked, medium with the web sweet potatoes and a side Caesar salad for a three dollar charge which ended up being a full-size salad! It was super fresh and gigantic for a side salad. The steak was cooked perfectly, in the middle with an insane sear. Their house, butter that they put on it truly elevated the flavor profile. I tried the sweet potatoes mashed and they were enjoyable, but I do not enjoy a sweet side with my food so I knew I was going to donate them to my husband and he said they were incredible, the flavor was definitely there just not my cup of tea, but I knew that from the beginning . He got the Caesar salad with grilled chicken! It had so much flavor and tastes incredible but yet melted in your mouth it was the most tender chicken I've ever had in my life, and the flavor was all there! Not even the slightest bit of any kind of dryness. One of the best bites of chicken I've ever had.! He ordered the bison meatloaf to go, and that comes with caramelized mashed potatoes and fried onion straws.... It smells incredible and I will update when we try it . * UPDATE: best meatloaf ever!!! Based on the quality/ experience on a very busy night- everything was phenomenal and I will return. Service 10/5 Food 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Value 5/5
