I've been wanting to try Mendocino Farms since I heard they were opening in Davis, and I finally made it over to the new location on Russell Boulevard. I'm glad I did because everything was delicious. I ordered the pork belly banh mi and a cup of the Greek lemon chicken and farro soup. The banh mi was definitely the highlight. The pork belly was moist, tender, chewy, and really flavorful, and the crunchy vegetables added a great contrast. The ciabatta was perfectly soft with just a little bit of grilling and worked really well with everything in the sandwich. It was also a pretty substantial portion. I could only finish half and took the other half home for my son to try. The Greek lemon chicken and farro soup was also really good. I would have loved a little more lemon zing to it, but that's really my only critique of the food. Tenisha helped me during my visit and was super friendly and welcoming, which made a great first impression for a new location. My lunch came in just under $30, so it's definitely on the pricier side for a sandwich-and-soup lunch. That said, everything tasted fresh and high quality, with plenty of protein and vegetables, and the pricing seems pretty comparable to the other options in this newly updated shopping area. Overall, this was a great first visit. The food was fresh, delicious, and felt like a healthier lunch option without sacrificing flavor. I've been waiting for Mendocino Farms to open and went a little out of my way to finally try it, and it was absolutely worth the trip. I'll definitely be back. read more

Mendocino Farms never misses! My sweet co worker took me out to dinner here after work one night and I was blown away! Yes I know it's a sandwich, salad and soup spot but their food is tasty! And the customer service is on another level! Very nice and clean establishment! We went here after the holidays, because this parking lot was A HOT MESS during the holiday season! You couldn't find parking ANYWHERE! Customer service here was so nice! Very nice workers here! We ordered the chicken parm sandwich and turkey avocado! Along with lemon chicken farrow and tomato basil soup! It took about 20 minutes before we received our food but it was so worth it! Sandwiches were toasted perfectly and the ingredients were so fresh! Tomato basil soup was creamy and chicken farrow just comforted my soul. The sandwiches for me were big and filling! I had the turkey avo and I took half home. My co workers throughly enjoyed their chicken parm sandwich! Highly recommend coming here especially since summer is here! Refreshing lunch or dinner! read more

We met old neighbors for lunch at Mendocino Farms. None of us had been there before. Their menu is an electronic screen and a couple of items said "Sold Out" including both soups covering their names, but the cashier said they had the soup and the menu hasn't been updated. Really? You order at the counter and they bring your food to your table. I ordered a half "Not So Fried" Chicken sandwich and a side of their Spicy Curried Couscous. My husband ordered The Farm Club. His sandwich came on seeded honey whole wheat bread that did not hold up to the ingredients. He had pieces of bread and filling all over his platter. It was a bit of a mess. My sandwich came with a side of "golden BBQ sauce" and "mustard remoulade." I tasted them and they were both quite tasty, but did not add either to my sandwich as it was already really moist. The couscous had a nice kick to it. Our friends seemed satisfied with their choices, a salad for her and a wrap for him. It was very noisy inside so made it a bit difficult to carry on a conversation. And let's talk about the parking, it's absolutely atrocious. We arrived at 11:30 a.m. on a Tuesday after the UC Davis quarter had ended. Luckily we were in our EV and were able to get one of the low emission vehicle spaces, though many of those spaces were taken by gas guzzlers. By noon cars were circling and circling looking for spaces. After lunch we walked over to Trader Joe's and the parking situation was even worse. When the several remaining food places open for business soon, it's only going to be worse. Because of the parking situation, we probably will not return to Mendocino Farms and The Collection, though I've already made plans to go there (a different restaurant) for lunch this Thursday with a friend. Just not worth our time. read more

When you're trying to eat right a little bit healthier this is a great option! We placed an order online, it wasn't quite ready when I got there.. but not because anyone was slacking... everyone was hustling inside. This place was super busy and super clean. The manager was working her tail off behind the counter right along side everyone else... and everyone was pleasant. This was a great experience for my first time at the Davis location. The salad I had was good... not sure I'm a fan of the crunchy quinoa but I still enjoyed it. I was told the mango Thai salad is delicious so I will try that next time. Great experience! read more

Happy to see Mendocino farms here! Came in on a Wednesday morning before the lunch rush. Greeted upon entry, our server, Kim, was awesome. Space is clean and open. Service was quick and food was delicious, as per usual for this chain. 'Not so fried chicken' sandwich is still my go to. Fresh ingredients, decent portion. Side-note: I do want to start some sort of petition to bring back that vegan Reuben sandwich though, that was sooo good. If in the area, stop by and enjoy. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. Parking does it a bit wild during the lunch rush, be warned. read more

Mendocino Farms has often times been a go to for us when traveling around the many areas we tend to. Lunch options are great, and the food has always been fresh and well prepared. This specific location has a very challenging parking lot. Interior seating as well as outdoor seating with umbrellas. Service was friendly and helpful. On this occasion we enjoyed the Golden State Cobb salad and the Prosciutto chicken sandwich. Both were great. read more

Ended up going with the not so fired chicken sandwich and steak chimichurri sandwich. Kids Ofcourse chicken tenders. Sandwiches were delicious , we both tried each others but stuck with what we liked best. Portion size is good too. Kids meal was disappointing as didn't come with fries or chips. Will definitely check out again. read more

Upon entrance, I was promptly greeted by a cashier at the register. As as a first-time goer, I received plenty of suggestions that would satisfy my spicy cravings. Employees were beyond kind and patient with my navigating of the menu. The dining area was fairly clean, both inside and out, and the overall decor of the place was fairly tidy! The only knock would be one the self-serve station, where the drink aerators and utensils/straws/napkins were nearly empty. The Peruvian Steak was extremely juicy, warm, and was perfectly complimented by the spicy aji amarillo sauce. The sandwich itself wasn't too oily, cheese was freshly melted, and the potato roll tasted quite fresh. When dining at Mendocino's, you definitely get the quality that you pay for, at $15.95 (pre-tax) for the steak sandwich. Although at this price point, the sandwich was on the smaller end. Despite this, the customer service and food quality will be bringing me back soon! read more

Mendocino Farms - Peruvian Steak Sandwich - Salad Near Me - Davis, California

It's nice, just kind of expensive especially if you're not going to a chain instead of a local business. We got salads for BOGO during their opening and they were tasty, but I don't like salads like that to pay $18. It was filling and balanced, but for $18 I'd want something I couldn't make myself. Service and seating was poor, but they had just opened and were super busy so I don't hold it against them. Probably a decent dining experience by now. Still wouldn't come back for that food! read more

I loved the Peruvian Steak Sandwich-- it was so juicy and I always love a little bit of a kick! (im salivating thinking about this sandwich) I wanted to try this place back in SoCal and having it so close to campus is lovely and convenient after grocery shopping. The workers were nice and lovely to talk to. There is an outdoor seating area with a foosball table and a great place to catch up with some friends. Will love to come back again! read more

I loved going to Mendocino Farms after school back home in SoCal, so I was really excited to see that a new location was being added to Davis! I just had a horrible move to an apartment complex across the street and dread being here, but Mendocino Farms being so close is a silver lining. The chimichurri steak sandwich was great! They did forget the extra sauce I asked for, but other than that there were no issues. I also enjoyed the lemon chicken farro soup and missed having decent green juice so close to me. There are a lot of workers, and all are very nice! I'll definitely be back read more

So happy to see this place in Davis. I loved their sandwiches whenever they catered a meeting at my former job. Today was my first time experiencing them on location. The place is very open, spacious and casual. Ordering at the counter is quick and efficient, but very friendly. You then scan a QR code at your table and input your table number, and your food arrives quickly, and with a smile. The waitstaff was very friendly, asking my name, how I enjoyed it and giving future recommendations. My sandwich -- the Chicken and Prosciutto-- was fantastic. Besides the ingredients mentioned in the name, it also has fresh mozzarella, pesto, balsamic vinegar, tomatoes and the delightful crunch of toasted almonds (no mayo! Yay!). read more

Saturday at 2:00. 30min + wait plus 15 min line to order. Food was good. Would go back

Soft Opening! The service was above and beyond, extremely attentive, warm, and welcoming. They have a fantastic training program that provides consistent experience at all the locations I've been to. Hot Honey Peach and Prosciutto sandwich, the chili aioli and hot citrus honey was delicious and the portion size of prosciutto was generous. The peach was sized thick, but surprisingly works well. Turkey Avo Salsa Verde sandwich comes toasted to perfection, love the hot turkey with the Gouda and cotija, the salsa verde that came on the side was delicious. The Farm Club is a classic sandwich, clean and fresh. The Basil Pesto Shells side salad is phenomenal, bright and flavorful pesto. The Kale and Apple Rainbow Salad is sweet and sour and crunchy, a nostalgic taste of green apple slices in elementary school but more refined. Homemade drinks wise, the pomegranate mint lemonade and the get your greens agua fresca, and the passion fruit black tea were my favorites. read more

I was surprised to see a Mendocino Farms when visiting my mother in law for the holidays (Thanksgiving). (It's been a while since I was pregnant and then had my son). This location wasn't as big as other locations however had the signature modern clean look and was nicely lit. By default I always liked Mendocino Farms - even more after using the create your own sandwich. For my son, we ordered him the chicken tenders with apple slices and bottle of water. We ordered the create your own, as we like to add pickled radishes and green onions to what we eat. The staff were friendly and very hospitable. They came by to check if they could help take the dishes. And we also got a coloring page with crayons. We would come again. read more

I enjoy the food here. The barbecue pork sandwich on a cornmeal bun was very good. I've also tried two salads which were great, I like that they vary the menu for the season, read more

The Davis location recently catered lunch for our Woodland offices and both the food and the service was 10/10. The delivery driver (Marcus...from Deliver That) arrived prior to the delivery time and I was still in meetings. Marcus called, I shared that I was across campus in meetings and that I'd find someone to meet him to retrieve the order. I reached out to Admin but Marcus was already two steps ahead, having spoken to someone in Admin who took him to the specific conference room (shout out to Marcus!). On to the eats: I enjoyed the Farm Club and oh my goodness, amazing choice! Roasted turkey, smashed avocado, applewood smoked bacon, tomatoes, pickled red onion, greens and a lovely herb aioli. The portions are big. It took me awhile to finish one half and every bite was worth it. The molasses cookie was soft and delicious. Thank you Mendocino Farms, looking forward to you feeding our team again! read more

First time visiting this location in Davis. I got together with a friend and we had a blast. The sandwich was tasty, soup was delicious and salad refreshing. We came during lunch and did not realize how busy it was. It was loud and there was a line. Parking was also a little hard. Ended up finding a parking spot but not super close to the entrance. The tables were mostly packed as well but we managed to get a table. I think I'll either come right before lunch rush or after next time. I would definitely be back for dining in or even take out though. There are more items I'd like to try. Tables were clean and the service was great. We were offered to go containers and offered for someone to take away our trays. Great job everyone. read more

Mendocino Farms - Such a clean atmosphere - Salad Near Me - Davis, California

Came here with a friend shortly after they opened and had a sandwich. It was good -- well put together, nothing to complain about -- but not the kind of meal that had me thinking about it the next day or planning a return trip. That said, I've only scratched the surface of the menu. I'd come back and work through more of it before writing this place off. Outside seating is available and dog-friendly, which is a plus. We visited on a warm day but the umbrellas kept it comfortable. If you're bringing your dog, you're set. Worth a visit. I plan to come back and give the menu a more honest look before settling on a final verdict. Parking is difficult. read more

My friend and I love to come to Mendocino for lunch! Not-so-fried chicken sandwich was a bit underwhelming considering it's probably their most popular sandwich, but definitely get the peruvian steak sandwich! Super juicy and flavorful. Basil pesto shells are just ok. Their drink selection is limited to their in-house drinks like teas and lemonades, such as a guava lemonade. The service is outstanding! Super helpful and incredibly kind and attentive. When I asked for extra sauce for a sandwich, they even remembered which sandwich I got off the top of their head! Pretty decent amount of seating with indoor and outdoor seating options, but it can get very crowded. I look forward to coming back and trying other dishes! read more

So happy they opened a Mendocino farms in Davis! I would typically try to go to the one in Vacaville every so often because I love their pesto prosciutto sandwhich. Recently since this location has opened up, I've tried their time mango salad, which... so so so good. when I walk in all the staff is welcoming and working hard. I hope in the future that Mendocino farms will come up with a rewards program because I've been eating their Salads so often since they opened lol I've had two separate instances where they missed an ingredient, but they've always fixed it when I brought it up to their attention. I love Mendocino Farms and the app where you can order for pick up. read more
