    Corner Cobb
    J M.

    The salads were great and the prices were very reasonable. The portions are large and worth the price. I had the Corner Cobb salad and it was very good and the dressing was tasty.

    Love the fresh quality food first concept. This spot has some different flavors than what I've seen from restaurants with similar farm to table concepts. I opted to build my own bowl which was probably a mistake since I didn't know what I was doing. I ended up with a chicken bowl with five different sides that wasn't my favorite. If I went again, I would def try one of their special bowls, probably a better first impression.

    quick dinner. really liked this place. shame there aren't any in california. ordered the el jefe w chicken (they didn't have avocado so subbed w onions) and my bowl sort of became a frankenstein creation lol but it was great! huge huge portion of food like i didn't even come close to finishing. food seems fresh and tasty and i had a tea on the side (they have agave sweetener to make your drinks sweeter which i LOOOOVED) overall cool little place . really liked the food and the vibe 3.8/5

    I did the build your own bowl where you pick your base, 5 toppings, a protein option and a dressing. The chicken protein made my bowl $13.71 after tax. The bowl was big enough for 2 meals so I ate half and stored the rest in the fridge for lunch tomorrow. I made sure to get the dressing on the side. The ingredients were super fresh and very tasty. The sweet potatoes were my favorite part of the bowl. The chicken was fresh off the grill. Staying nearby at the Graduate hotel and I loved having a healthy and filling option just a short walk away.

    This is the best Roots location! When I moved to the area, I was happy to go to Roots as it was a go-to for me. But this location is the best! The staff are kind and actually give you amazing portions. Everything tastes great. The brown rice was always cold at the Roots I used to frequent - here it is warm! There's a fair amount of seating and it's cute inside. I'm so happy to have a healthy option for meals.

    The topping?

    I ordered spinach and kale and I got all spinach. It was a byo and I ordered cukes, garbanzo, red onions and double feta. There was hardly any of these things on the salad. For over $16 plus the fees I got a HALF of a bowl of spinach, NO KALE and a minced up bit of the other items ordered with dressing. I'm so unhappy with this food. With delivery I spent $27!!

    I have triumphed over my fear of Roots' raw chicken. Or maybe, then, Roots has triumphed over me as I continue to eagerly purchase. I love their chipotle tabasco intensely. I have three other Yelp drafts mentioning the sour savory foods kick I've been on recently, I believe my love for their chipotle tabasco is part of it. My order has tended to be the Talladega with pickled onions instead of red, a different cheese (usually feta) instead of cheddar, and something more substantial like sweet potatoes or broccoli to replace the pimento peppers. To be fair to the cheddar, I've never tried it. However, I associate it with pre-shredded, starch-coated cheddar. Same with the pimento peppers- before this review I thought they were just red peppers. I may try the original soon, with pickled onions instead of red. The hot honey chicken has never done me wrong.

    I love the variety of salads they offer. Everything is fresh and well-seasoned, and the flavors always work so well together. It is a great spot for a light but filling lunch.

    I LOVE THIS PLACE! I honestly have dreams about their salads. I wouldn't even consider myself a salad girl but this spot is my go-to on Franklin. They pack their salads full and all the ingredients are tasty on their own. I make my own salad with all of their roasted ingredients it's one of my favorite meals (yes, I know that's crazy to say about a salad but it's true.) The service is always consistent and they have a great outdoor seating area.

    Really good, hefty salad bowl! I got chicken, sweet potato, pickled onions, an egg, and tomatoes with kale and Arcadian mix. You get a protein, 5 add ons, and 2 bases I believe. You definitely do not skimp out on the chicken/protein which is nice! But I wish they had more options for meat, excluding tofu. The lemon tahini dressing is also super good! Will be getting this again!

    A pretty basic bowl place with healthy options. Choose between a rice or salad base and go from there. I feel like this is a solid place for fast and casual food, but would say that it is a little pricey considering the composition of the bowls. While the bowls are large and I definitely had enough for dinner leftovers, it was a pretty hefty portion of rice rather than the chicken or other toppings. But all that being said, I still enjoyed the bowl and the atmosphere in the restaurant was nice (could definitely set down and get work done here). Give this place a try!

    I picked up a bowl to go that lasted for two meals. So tasty and healthy. The server was very helpful and friendly.

    Staff is great- very helpful. All cooked food is made with canola oil and all dressings are made with canola oil so the opposite of healthy.

    It was honestly so refreshing to find this healthy fast casual option on a day I needed a cleaner…read moremeal. Overall I was impressed with the variety and quality of fresh ingredients! They were in the process of training a new hire at the time, so the line took some time to move through, but I still got my food pretty quickly. I ordered the harvest crunch vegetable which had all of my favorites - the mushrooms were so flavorful and my favorite part. The only two critiques I had was that 1) I asked for half/half rice and romaine and my bowl had way too much romaine, it really overpowered all of the other ingredients that came in the bowl and 2) the tofu was not my favorite - it wasn't crispy or as flavorful as I would like it, so that's something for the plant-based community to keep in mind. That said, I imagine all of the other animal-based proteins taste better! If their tofu was improved, I would absolutely return to try some of their other unique bowl combos.

    Grabbed lunch from here recently and really enjoyed it! We ordered takeout using the website and…read morethe food was prepared on time. Everything tasted very fresh! I got a wheat wrap with some steak, spinach, and mushrooms, while my wife got a mixed grain bowl with chicken and bacon. We were both very happy with our meals, and while the food wasn't cheap (about $15 a person), I didn't feel ripped off either. The website mentioned that the ingredients were high quality and that the dressings were made in house, and it definitely tasted like it! Overall, I'd definitely come back here to get a healthy meal.
