Stopped for lunch and the service was good. They were busy for a Friday afternoon so the wait for food was about 15 minutes. The place is clean and the employees were friendly. Had the lunch half chicken inside out and potato salad, my partner had the Prosciutto & Chicken and farm club with tomato soup. All was good but the winner is the prosciutto/chicken for all of us. We will be back to try other sandwiches. read more

If there were half stars I'd rate it 3.5. This is my first to any location they have. Nice corner spot in a very busy parking lot with Whole Foods next door. Ample seating outside and inside. However, they lined some of their indoor seating with fake grass that I had no desire to sit on. The restaurant already had a few people seated and a couple of people waiting on their orders. I went with a friend and we both ordered salads. With the amount of staff there I'm unsure why it took so long for us to get our salads. I would come back to try their other salads if I'm too lazy to make my own but I hope they offer a half sandwich salad combo or maybe I didn't see that option? Salads were huge and definitely hit the spot. read more

Kenneth took our order and provided exceptional customer service, he deserves 5 stars. I was impressed by his professional and knowledge of the menu. The restaurant inside was incredibly clean and cute, cute, cute. The salad was very good, had a variety of fresh ingredients and was flavorful but I knocked this place down 1 star because it took FOREVER to get my food. Maybe they had a large online order, but I ordered a SALAD for heaven's sake. Other than the lack of speedy food preparation, I will definitely be back soon. I'll just make sure to not be in a hurry. read more

Mendocino Farms - Ranch Chicken Salad - Salad Near Me - Dublin, California

We came on a Sunday afternoon after 1pm and was able to order our food pretty quickly. It took a bit longer than expected to receive the food ~25 min(?) after ordering, seemed like they had a lot of online orders they were filling simultaneously as well. The food tasted amazing and all the ingredients were fresh as expected. The tables were clean and overall the employees there were super friendly as well. Will be back! read more

We were so happy that Mendocino Farms open one near my house! We usually go to the one at San Ramon city center and that place was packed usually. This place was clean and bright and the person taking our order was friendly. Unfortunately my soup turned out lukewarm so I went back to them to have it heat up, which they did. Will be back again. read more

Mendocino Farms - Lukewarm soup - Salad Near Me - Dublin, California

New new in Persimmon Place! Located right next to Ethan Allen/Sephora/Whole Foods, it takes up a sizable corner of the plaza with its massive outdoor seating complete with a cornhole game. I parked in the lot behind Mendocino which was less crowded (entering from Dublin Blvd). Their IG marketing paid off because that's how I found out about signing up for their grand opening deal before they even opened: a free entree with any purchase! As always, I got the Avocado & Quinoa Superfood Ensalada ($14.15) which still scratches the salad itch. I usually opt for the dressing tossed in, and it always feels like more food when you dine in vs squished in a takeout container lol. I also ordered the tried and true Southern Potato Salad (small size $3.75) and a pint of Firestone Mind Hazy IPA ($8) because it was one of those days. We ate outside since it was crowded indoors on a Friday evening, and we were able to scan a code on our table to input our receipt number so the servers can find us with our orders. I will be back on a warmer day to enjoy the sunshine outside and try a sandwich/soup combo! read more

This newest Mendocino Farms opened up in the shopping plaza called Persimmon Place. The location is where Patxi's Pizza used to be. It boasts a larger patio area and interior seating as well. The parking area is quite large so it shouldn't be a problem. The interior design is consistent to all their other restaurants using the same tables & chairs. Two separate men and women's restrooms. My wife ordered the... Lemon Chicken & Farro Soup: a hearty chicken soup with whole-grain farro, carrot, celery, onion, baby spinach, lemon (4/5). Flavorful and hearty indeed. Baja Green Goddess Salad: Impossible chorizo OR chicken adobado, roasted corn, black beans, jicama, avocado, grape tomatoes, red onions, Monterey jack, taco crunch, romaine, arugula, cabbage, cilantro, Baja goddess dressing (4/5). My wife loves this salad. I ordered the... Southern Potato Salad: creamy potato salad with whole grain mustard, B&B pickles, scallions, dill (4/5). The dill and mustard really made the flavor. Chimichurri Steak & Bacon Sandwich: seared steak & applewood smoked bacon, marinated red peppers, caramelized onion jam, chimichurri, shredded romaine, herb aioli, on toasted sesame roll (4/5). A nice tasting sandwich. Support your local business. read more

Mendocino Farms: very flavorful foods for quick service. Things that feel a little elevated compared to a Chipotle, but equally fresh and definitely vibing with the healthier side of things. Ok, this was the mindset as I headed into the Dublin location. It was really sort of underwhelming in terms of space, decor, and layout compared to the City Center Bishop Ranch location. Also, it just felt pricey. The basic sandwiches are $14ish and some of the steak ones being $17+. At this point, I may just want to go to a sit-down restaurant when I'm out $!7 before drink, desert, appetizers, tax or tip. My sister is much more budget-conscientious and said she'd rather go to the Ike's in Hacienda Crossings than go to Persimmon Place. You know parking is awful on this side of the lot and right off of Hacienda Blvd. It's hard to find and hard to get in and out of these spaces. (This is a really poorly designed parking lot, IMO, for foot traffic, turning radiuses, and size of space. That's not Mendo's fault, but may be a consideration factoring into your experience.) It's still good. It's still Mendo. I just would prefer the BR location or maybe another slightly cheaper sandwich in the area. read more

First of all... the staff at Mendocino Farms! So friendly! The decor is super cute and well thought out. I ordered the Chicken Parm which is apparently a top seller. So good! Tip: If you can park a bit far away, that's for the best. That parking lot gets crazy! read more

When it opened, Mendocino Farms was a revolution in the fast-casual scene (especially for sandwiches). It brought chef-focused sandwiches (higher quality ingredients, sourcing from farms, creative sauce use) to compete with Subway/Togos/etc. But time has meant the mantle of higher-end sandwiches has passed to other smaller spots, and Mendo is now a slightly-more-expensive spot with prices that don't quite justify what they're serving. This location in particular moves quite slow. Others have noted that there's a lot of staff but waits are quite long. It's a great spot (if you want a better version of Subway), but it's pricy and not quite as fast. read more

First of all, a shout out to Kenny & Meghan for excellent service! I've been watching the construction at this location (formerly Patxi's Pizza) for months. Been a customer at the San Ramon City Center for years and so thrilled that this spot finally opened. The remodel is fresh and new. The patio is fun and welcoming. The food is mainly sandwiches and salads. They offer beer and wine. Definitely check out their seasonal specials. On this visit, I tried the Seasonal GOAT with Pink Lady Apples (salad). This delightful treat is made with mixed greens, thinly sliced Pink Lady apples, chicken, goat cheese, and other good stuff. Yummy! Although they are rather quick, this is not fast food. Each order is carefully prepared after you order, so feel free to customize your salad or sandwich. They will make it the way you want it. The last thing is the pricing. All the mains are in the $12-16 range. Not bad for a lunch, considering that you are getting real food - nothing ultraprocessed here! Kids meals are $6.90-8.25. read more

Stopped in for dinner on their second day open and this place already feels like a hit. I had the chicken caprese sando, my husband ordered the chicken parm sandwich, and we shared the lemon farro chicken soup. The soup was absolutely INSANE. Creamy, savory, perfectly lemony, and dangerously addictive. Once you take a bite, you cannot stop. Honestly the star of the meal. Both sandwiches were solid and satisfying. The chicken was juicy, the flavors were well balanced, and nothing felt heavy or overdone. The staff were also super friendly and social, probably opening week energy but I really hope the vibe sticks. Bold prediction - the restaurant across the street is going to have a hard time competing. Already looking forward to coming back, especially for that soup! read more

I like the San Ramon location so I was glad to see this new addition to Dublin. I've only ordered for takeout so far. There's a parking lot so parking was easy. To go orders are on some shelves for quick pick ups as well. I really enjoyed the seasonal GOAT with sweet citrus salad. There was a little kick of heat. Looking forward to coming back. read more

The service here was exceptional, everyone was so kind. It was my first time here & I really enjoyed it. The outside dining was very open but cozy & everything was very clean.

Love the food but the wait for 2 salads 35-40 minutes is crazy . They are super slow !!! Even when ordering to go ahead of time - food still takes forever- something needs to change read more

This was our third visit to this location, and overall, I have a lot of positive things to say. Despite how busy they were, the staff remained professional, hardworking, and attentive throughout our visit. At one point, I witnessed a customer become very upset and raise his voice at the employees. The staff still handled the situation as calmly and respectfully as possible. It was honestly upsetting to see how little understanding some people had toward the staff, especially when the employees were visibly working as hard as they could to keep up with all the orders they had. From what I observed, the delay seems to come primarily from the volume of online orders. My husband and I ordered at the counter around noon during a very busy lunch rush, and we still received our food fresh within about 15-20 minutes. Considering how packed the restaurant was, I felt the wait was reasonable -- especially because the Thai Mango Salad is always worth it. What stood out most to me was the customer service. The staff and management were both friendly and understanding regarding wait times, and they genuinely seemed to care about the customer experience. I also appreciated that they offered complimentary drinks or chips to guests who experienced longer waits. They've only been open for less than a year, so I imagine they are still adjusting to the demand. Once they fully settle into their rhythm, I think this location will continue to improve and do very well. Can't wait to come back!! read more

Came here two weeks in a row. Not because of anything other than the family wanted to go back. Outstanding salads period. Have had the Cobb, Avocado Quinoa and Mango Thai. Not sure I can pick a favorite but all are stand alone meal worthy. Portions are good and satisfying. I am more of a meat and potatoes guy so that provides some context of how good these salads are. Menu is a tad limited but that likely contributes to the EXCELLENT quality of what they do provide. Clientele is a bit more hoity toity than I'm used to, but if I can ignore people in a dive/hole-in-the-wall, I can ignore them too. read more

Happy that we finally have a Mendocino Farms in town! I was excited when it was announced. Had to come in on the first week to show some love! Also, wanted my mendo fix lol. We were greeted right away and asked if it was our first time (not mine but my companion's first time) so she proceeded to tell us what were the star orders. There were lots of employees, I'm assuming this is because of training. We put in our order and were told if we scan the QR code at our table they would bring over our food. Awesome! We both ordered the Chicken Parm Dip which included chicken, Mendo's krispies, melted mozzarella & parmesan, pomodoro sauce, basil, Calabrian chile aioli, on toasted sesame roll served with extra pomodoro for dipping. I gotta tell ya that basil was very bright tasting and the Calabrian chile aioli gave it that kick. Loved it especially the pomodoro dip that came with it. Perfect for dunking. My fave sandwich is the Not So Fried Chicken sandwich but I'll have to get that another time. For sure I'll be back and you should too! read more

Heard of but never been to a Mendocino farms. They just opened in the area. They resemble a more humble version of a "tender greens". Got a sandwich, ordered the Peruvian steak. Recommended to me if you like spicy (it wasn't). Contents via the menu = seared steak tossed in a spicy aji amarillo sauce, melted Oaxacan cheese, tomatoes, red onions, shredded romaine, herb aioli, on toasted potato roll. Solid sandwich, get some flavor from the spices/sauce. Fresh produce and a creamy aioli on a soft potato roll. They noted that I will be texted when the food was ready. Place wasn't busy. I waited 17 minutes and no text. Went to the front and my food was there. I asked how long has this been here and the associate just noted "o I'm sorry you didn't get a text?" I left then received a text message stating my order was ready. Meaning to me someone forgot to clear the order to send the text. Went back inside to address the text message. The manager acknowledged the issue , offered guest recovery stuff like providing a free cookie/drink. Foods good, guest recovery is fine but they appear they need to finish training with staff or fix a software issue with messaging when your food is ready. read more

Really disappointing experience. It's clear the newer staff need a lot more training. There were so many employees behind the counter, yet I waited over 20 minutes for a single sandwich -and it wasn't even busy. I eventually had to go up and ask about my order because no one seemed to be keeping track. Meanwhile, several employees were distracted, standing around and playing with personal fans because they said it was too hot. It honestly made no sense -with that many people working, things should have been moving quickly. Instead, it felt disorganized and chaotic. I nearly finished my entire glass of rosé and a full bag of chips just waiting. For comparison, the Bollinger Canyon Mendocino Farms handles high volume effortlessly -they're fast, efficient, and clearly well-trained. This location needs to get it together. Right now, it feels like no one knows what they're doing. Hoping management steps in and improves training and overall organization read more

Tried the new location in Dublin today...it was very busy but the service was attentive (not sure if today was Day 1 for this location) and the Peruvian steak sandwich and tomato basil soup were both very tasty and hit the spot. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating available. read more

Great customer service, came the day after they opened! Lines were busy but the cashiers are very helpful and the line went down pretty fast! It takes no time for the line to fill back up. The steak on my salad was so good and well seasoned! I opted to have all romaine, took out out cabbage, kale, spinach. Lydia was my waitress and she made the experience so awesome. It felt like fine dining! Outside area is really nice, beverage area has a lot of flavor lemonades, I chose the pomegranate. Majesty & Alex was also very helpful as well, it really felt like fine dining the amount of times they came to check on us. This was an awesome experience for it to be the second day of their opening. Tip: unless you want a half sandwich and side it's better getting the full sandwich due to it being a $3 price difference. I would also say look online at the menu , since there's better photos compared to the menu inside. THEY ALSO DO NOT LIST PRICES ON THE PAPER MENU OR THE MENU ON THE WALL. Looking online will help if it's your first time read more

Two sandwiches ordered at 1:45. At 2:15, still no sandwiches. The kind staff did ask me twice proactively what my name was so they could check, but they never came back to update me.

We went to this new location today, the first time eating at Mendocino Farms and it was delicious. We split a salad and a sandwich, and it was plenty of food. We were greeted by the manager and two others. The entire staff was friendly, welcoming, smiling all the time. We ate outside in the patio section; it was sunny with plenty of umbrellas for the tables. They all defiantly made our experience excellent, and we will for sure go back. Thank you everyone, and special recognition to the manager Kenneth. read more

Food is great. Wait time is long. So I would give yourself ample time or order ahead.

Came back today for another online order and had to wait 25 minutes past my promised time for my order. It's not even 11am and no one is in the restaurant. read more

The reason for the 2 stars is that #1) the employees were working so hard and this was NOT their fault and #2) the meal was delicious. So my low score is just based on the fact that I made an order for pickup at 1:15 and it wasn't ready for me until over 30 min after pick up time. Wild. I went to this location when they first opened and ate in with my bf and it was a long wait for food too. But the food is good and they're pretty new still at this location. So I'll try again! read more

Love having a great place in Dublin to stop for a quick sando or salad. I hit this spot up a couple of weeks ago and I have to say the sandwich was good, amazing lemonade fountain, good salads, sides. My only issue is the price point. Absolutely repulsive what they charge for the small sandwich ($15) they serve. It wouldn't be so bad if they included a side or drink or something. Don't get me started on the small soup ($10). Small potato salad ($6) ... outrageous. So disappointing because I'd probably hit them up much more frequently if I didn't have to spend $30 for a lunch. I just don't get the economics of these places having to charge so much for a sandwich! For that reason, it's not a return spot for me unfortunately. read more

Ordered a salad to pick up. Walked from work to pick it up but couldn't eat yet because I had a meeting. When I went to eat it, there was no dressing so I had to walk back. The woman working there didnt apologize for the mistake or for sucking precious time out of my day having to walk back again just to get it. Please train your employees to respond to what customers are communicating as their experience and acknowledge it. The salad it almost $20.00 so the least the employees can do is be kind and responsive. Going forward I will not order from this place again because they clearly could care less about customer experience. read more

I'm sorry to say I can't recommend this place. I placed an online order so it would be ready at pickup. My pickup time was 12:10. I waited patiently about 15 minutes, then asked another employee, but still got no update. In total, I ended up waiting more than 30 extra minutes for my food. It felt like no one really knew what they were doing, and honestly, it didn't seem like anyone was making an effort to help. Overall, a frustrating and disappointing experience. I ordered ahead so I wouldn't have to wait, and yet I waited far longer. By the time I ate, it was cold and soggy. read more

The not so fried chicken sandwich was excellent. Really appreciated the crunchies and the fresh chicken. The herb aioli was fantastic and pulled it all together. The rainbow salad my mom liked but I wasn't a fan of it being a little sour. It was a good small portion to have as the side. The turkey farm sandwich was delicious and my mom liked the sweetness of it. I appreciated the freshness and taste of the sandwich as well. The service was quick and easy. Staff was accommodating to needs such as getting a to go wrap paper as well as a fork etc. Appreciate that staff truly cares about the food as well as the customers! The ambiance was modern, clean and beautiful looking with a navy exterior. One could also sit outside under the umbrellas but it was summer hot today. The environment and feel of Mendocino farms was welcoming and comfortable. We would come back again! We say this place is delicious! read more

Stopped by for dinner one night and everything was good. Ordered a chicken prosciutto sandwich online to-go during lunch time....that's when it all fell apart. Said it would be in 20 minutes. Waited until it had been 30 minutes before I asked about it. Staff was obviously busy and very friendly, but definitely disorganized. I was told "we're working on it." Waited 10 more minutes (now 40 minutes after my online order was placed). As I walked up to the counter to ask again, staff looked around and located my sandwich, ready to go, in the staging area behind the counter... apparently lost in a sea of other sandwiches. When I finally sat down and unwrapped it, it was cold. Not just the parts that were supposed to be cold, but the whole thing was cold. It was probably sitting there the whole time! Those kids are working really hard, really fast and doing their best. They could use a better system or better communication to avoid mishaps like this. read more

What great service. The team at this location is so professional, kind, and helpful. The young, approximately 5'7" young lady with glasses and blonde hair was exceptionally helpful in getting my order updated and in a timely manner. I received my order and was on my way in no time. Food was good and we'll definitely be back. read more

Awesome food, you pay more than most places but you will not be disappointed. Flavors are exceptional.
