Wasn't giving the cleanest vibes but tried it anyway. You could tell the team was a little disgruntled. No one welcomed us in but acknowledged that they would be with us shortly. Now you know these salads are expensive enough to cover customer service. Not sure what's going on with the team but it definitely impacted the vibe and appearance! read more

So I left without my food. I normally like sweetgreen. They make a reasonably nice salad, and the one near my job is clean and nice. The Arlington one: Well, tonight, I ordered, they made my meals, but then couldn't get the registers to work. They didn't seem to be trying too hard. All the while, my salads were getting soggier. Finally I said I didn't have time for this (I didn't) and took the salads back out of my bag and left. What a waste. They could have just sent me home with the food (I spend enough there), since they were only going to throw it away. read more

I've visited Sweetgreen a few times in the past, but I was never particularly impressed with the way their food was prepared. When I recently saw the wraps being advertised outside the restaurant in Pentagon City, VA, I decided to give them another chance. Unfortunately, it was a major disappointment. I ordered the Chicken Jalapeño Ranch wrap, and it seemed to be packed with rice rather than fresh vegetables. The wrap was overwhelmingly carb-heavy, with very little of the fresh produce I expected. In fact, there was no cabbage at all, despite it being listed as an ingredient. For a restaurant called Sweetgreen, I expected a much better balance of greens and vegetables. Instead, the wrap felt more like a rice wrap than a fresh, healthy meal. read more

sweetgreen - Healthy Salads, Wraps, and Bowls - Bug in my salad. - Salad Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Sweetgreen is a quick salad place. You can order from the preset salad menu and customize however you would like. Or, you can completely have one made with everything you want. They even ask if you want your dressing to be light, regular, or heavy. The staff was very energetic and provided quick service. All of the ingredients were out in display so you can actually see your salad options. The place was simple and clean. We ended up trying the BBQ Chicken Salad with a slice of bread. The salad is packed in a bowl with a lid. That bowl was surprisingly heavy. It was completely stuffed! There was just enough dressing to cover everything without being too much. And, the salad was pretty good. The price was very much on the expensive side, so that would probably deter us from going there over and over. But, a good place to have every now and then. read more

This is my go to sweetgreen when I'm working on Arlington. Our workplace has an outpost so all our orders are opened until 10:30 AM and deliveries are prompt at noon for lunch. It makes ordering for convenient and quick for me when I don't have time the night before to prep a meal for work. Food is overall refreshing and a good portion. I would recommend to always double up on protein as one order is not enough. The summer bowls look interesting but my go to is the BBQ chicken salad or guacamole greens. What's nice is that you can still modify your bowl even after selecting their pre-set bowl choices. Their beverages are just ok, nothing worth purchasing honestly. In terms of ambiance I haven't technically walked into this store location but I can say I'm quite happy in terms of delivery. read more

Came in near closing time around 9:30pm. The lady up at the front seemed like she hated her job and I had to be the first to say hello. If I have to be the first to say hello, it's now a red flag in my book. 0 stars for customer service. The entire time I felt like I didn't belong -- not sure if it was her resting face or if she was actually mad if I was there. Everything I asked for seemed so little. Not that it's necessary to give extra away during closing time, but if all that food is going to be thrown away (I worked in food service before so I know), why still be stingy? The music was so loud so I couldn't even hear the answers to the questions I asked (e.g how many veggies can I get? Are the nuts included?) When I tried to pay, it wouldn't allow me to pay unless I hit a button. I thought the POS was touch screen but it was not. The screen said $14.96 so I thought pressing the green button would allow me to pay (in the past clicking the red X cancels the entire transaction). Clicking the green button added an extra 18% tip which was unwarranted and it happened all too fast after trying several times to pay. I never want to tip for bad customer service. I went back, asked for the receipt, and asked for the manager. Again it's near closing time and he said he can't refund my tip. But he also didn't ask if there was anything he could've done to have made the experience WORTH my tip. I'm never coming back here, and unless you want to be charged unwarranted tips for bad customer service, I recommend not coming here either. Note: I got home and started eating and got purple rice. I thought I was chewing on plastic or cardboard, but the rice was just either undercooked or overcooked because it was not soft. read more

Last night, I purchased a water bottle at the cashier. After paying, I quickly placed it in the provided bag and left. This morning, I took it out of the bag and, after drinking some of it, I realized there was a label on the bottle with someone else's name. The label appeared to be part of another order or perhaps from a returned item. It also specified to drink the water by 5:30 PM. I'm shocked and deeply concerned for my health--was this a used or tampered water bottle? The thought that it might have been a return or that I had to drink it by 5:30 PM when it was past that, raises serious worries about potential health risks. This situation is unacceptable, and the establishment must ensure better quality control to prevent issues like this. I can provide photos of it and I will be looking to speak to someone regarding this issue. read more

This location should be investigated by health department and county They sell sales with bag vegetables, hiding, for example the rotten avocados on the salad be positioning rotten side down , in the salad . I heard from others that they experienced this as well . Make sure to inspect the salad and other food before you accept your order these salads are not are inexpensive , snd based on my experience , not worth it. There are other locations to try. read more

I love this chain and their salads! My personal favorite is the kale caesar. I really love their caesar dressing and the parmesan chips they throw into the salad. For me, what matters the most in a salad is the dressing and the sweetgreen caesar dressing is top notched. A light amount of dressing is good enough for me! My only small complaint is that the portion size given to me was that it was a lot smaller compared to the other locations I've gone to. They were definitely busy and working hard to serve other people. Excited to come here often to eat a healthier meal out! read more

Ate here two days in a row! So good, and healthy, and really nice portions. The labeling is confusing, but they can cater to both gluten free and lactose free options. Recommend the guac greens salad. read more

I have been eating these beautiful, fresh and healthy salads since they opened in Ballston, Arlington Va and waited patiently while they closed and slowly reopened. The salads are still fresh and tasty but are literally now 50% smaller- consistently time after time during this last year . I know this has happened with corn flakes but I am terribly disappointed with Sweethreen- much smaller portions are now the norm. read more

Love this place. The staff here are friendly and do their best to make your bowl full. Despite my requests for extra this or to substitute that, they are always accommodating. Also, the place is clean and well-branded; simply being here makes you feel good about eating well. Of course, we cannot talk about Sweetgreenw without talking about price. I know -- it's crazy expensive. But as my partner reminds me, this is just a salad; it is a meal. Trust me, you will be fulfilled. Cons: No street parking, and you no longer get a coupon/reward/points for every X salads you buy. read more

Sweetgreen is doing contactless delivery during the coronavirus outbreak. Their salads are a bit pricey but very delicious and the portions are very generous. I love their variety of bases--I'm partial to kale and warm grains. Their ingredients are always fresh and the preset salads are loaded with tons of toppings and rotate seasonally. I'm a huge fan of the kale Caesar and anything with avocado on it, since their avocados seem to always be just ripe. Consider getting Sweetgreen and tip your delivery person generously! read more

You can't go wrong with sweetgreen. What I especially love is that they list all their local farms and locations of where their food is from. Harvest bowl is probably one of my go to salads. I was sad they got rid of their tzatziki cucumber dressing, or at least in the Arlington Ballston location. read more

Sweetgreen hits the healthy fast casual genre just nicely - the menu can get confusing and the lines can get long but they have decent portions for the pricing. Food: 5/5 Cost: 4/5 Customer Service: 5/5 Parking: 3/5 Ballston street parking can be tricky. Try the ballston mall at $1 an hour if you want to save, or park after hours. Space: 4/5 some indoor and outdoor seating, but more of a takeout area Good: Ratatouille Bowl: No complaints, very filling and ate only half. Had enough protein from the chicken and a good combinations of the "frenchy" flavors to make it satisfying Notes: 1) If ordering for lunch, order ahead of time to pick up as the lines get pretty crazy 2) They have some interesting drink options and I appreciate they put the calories for those tracking read more

Just came by here for dinner tonight and it was bad. Like sweetgreen don't let me down but you did. :/ I got my usual, which was the Guac Greens but I noticed that the portion size I received this time was SO small. I compared it to the customer's next to me and her bowl had way more ingredients(?) But this was not the worst part. When I bit into the avocado (which btw was not chopped up into the salad, it was the entire avocado half just thrown in there), it was ROCK SOLID. I had never actually eaten an avocado that was not ripened but I guess this is the experience I would have if I did?? I thought sweetgreen's quality control would have been better and for $11 I was sorely disappointed. I actually had to spit the avocado out because I couldn't eat it. (It was too hard to chew.) I am honestly quite shocked and this was the very first negative experience I've had at a sweetgreen establishment. I hope they can keep an eye out on their quality control here and improve for the better. I was hoping to have a good meal after a tiring day of work tonight but unfortunately was let down and don't think I'll be coming back to this location anytime soon which is unfortunate. read more

I have a love hate relationship with this location. I come here about 3 times a week for lunch because its healthy, i love the salads, and it's right around the corner from work. Suffice it to say, I have never been a more committed Sweetgreener, so perhaps I'm just more acutely aware of issues that may be common to other locations as well. When they're open, they're pretty great and often packed so I either try to get in there at 11:30 or after 1 pm to avoid the massive line. Unfortunately, it's been closed at least 3 times in the last 2 months for a) no apparent reason (just a "sorry for the inconvenience" sign on the door) or b) broken equipment. Or they have been out of protein. This is just goddamn unacceptable when you are located in a super office space packed area. ugh. Other than that, it's on par w any other weetgreen. -------------- Update 6/3: always appreciate a follow up from management. read more

This little wonder has been so close to my house and I had no idea. I recently came here with my friends for lunch and again at 9 pm. Both times I loved it. I think I enjoyed the shroom salad over the spring chicken. Although it's hard to say because they make really great salads. The spring chicken was nice and also great that the staff asks you how much sauce you want. It was light and refreshing. I feel healthier already! Both times I have come, there has been plenty of seating. It also has outdoor seating but also has a nice shady close-by if there are no seats and it's not raining. It's on my way back from the gym, so the fact that they have an app is so great but also super dangerous. #wheredidallmymoneygo On the app, if you spent $99, then you will receive a $9 credit. If you're a regular or healthy eating out. Definitely use this! The staff have also been so kind and super quick each and every time I have come. I'll definitely be coming back soon. read more

This Sweetgreen location is horrible. Ordered online and got cancelled without any explanation. Tried to call store, never able to talk with anyone. Updated 7-27-23: The owner Oscar, responded and provided some credits in the account. Good that he cares and takes care of the customers. Increase to 3 stars now and will further adjusting it after more experience with the store services. read more

One job....literally one job. All I ordered was a salad. Not only was it late and had one sliver of a red onion bit, they didn't put dressing in the bag! That's literally the most essential part of the salad. I texted immediately via the customer support text line and crickets. I tried to submit a review and, mysteriously, the site wouldn't allow me to submit it. Thank you, Sweetgreens, for the dry disappointing salad and no resolution nor recourse. read more

CHICKEN PESTO PARM - Wow, this bowl was delicious and filling. I've created my own salads before at sweetgreen and never feel full, but this bowl definitely had me full. I swapped out the roasted chicken for blackened chicken and quinoa for wild rice. The flavors perfectly blend together. Even though the one sauce is hot sauce, the bowl is not too spicy at all. It just helps boost the flavor of the pesto and toppings. It was a decent amount of breadcrumbs, so every bite did have breadcrumbs in it providing a nice crunch, but I will never complain about bread, so that was my favorite part! read more

I just want to shout out the Ballston location. I come to this location often as I work in the area. I left my purse there with all of my important document in June. The management team had been trying to reach me but had many failed attempt. They decided to try one more time and I was able to get my purse after 2 months. Thanks for keeping my belongings Ballston. read more

Awesome lunch/dinner spot if you wanna mix-in some clean eating to your weekly routine...........or if your direly feeling the need to quiet that naughty inner-symptomatic "id/ego" voice suggesting that you to drive to KFC for lunch instead! Sweetgreen is an amazing place, with their own unique spin on clean and healthy eating. This is your destination for delicious food that is both healthy for you and aligned with getting your inner-gut (oops...I meant glow) right! LOL. And, if you are a salad geek -- someone who likes their salads tossed and prepared many ways....... this is certainly your place! They have a very vast array of salads, seasonal greens and veggies to choose from. You can customize any of their "signature" salads or you can simply create your own. From the salads, greens, and veggies...everything is so FRESH, CRISP and TASTY! There are a plethora of toppings from all kinds of sod vegetables, cheeses, proteins like tuna/chicken and more......as well as all types of nuts, natural fruit and berries to keep your salad world, vegetarian/vegan monotony and healthy eating journey exciting. If you are like me....still trying to hang on barely to your New Year's resolutions (goals and decisions) to eat better, detox, maybe shed a few pounds and/or need food choices that meet the nutrient needs of diets of any kind.....from Paleo to Atkins, South Beach, the Dolce Diet and beyond....this place got you covered! I usually K.I.S.S....."Keep It Simple Shorty!".....when it comes to this place. My "go-to" salad is the: ** Kale Caesar -- shredded kale + chopped romaine, tomatoes, shaved parmesan, parmesan crisp, roasted chicken, fresh lime squeeze, and killer Caesar dressing!....All in a bowl that is barley 400+ calories and definitely filling --close to 2 servings. This salad does it for me every time! Occasionally, I customize the salad my own way (i.e. adding beets, cucumbers, or change up the dressing)....to keep it interesting. I have also tried a couple of their other salads such as the: ** Avocabbo --shredded kale + chopped romaine, tomatoes, raw corn, avocado, bacon, egg, roasted chicken, blue cheese dressing ** Rad Thai --organic arugula + organic mesclun, sprouts, carrots, shredded cabbage, spicy sunflower seeds, cucumbers, basil, citrus shrimp, spicy cashew dressing They are all good in my book! I am still working on experimenting with other salads and grains....as to I am like a picky, stubborn kid when it comes to eating all my vegetables! Overall 4 stars!.....A great concept and spin on eating salads. The food is local/farm sourced, high-quality and the customer service is very friendly! You can tell that high standards and quality drives this place first and foremost when it comes to the produce and preparing their goods. As for their Prices ($$).....Ummmm!!??.... I am still adjusting to it. It is still something I kind of snarl at (with the stink-face).....when it comes to paying $8-$12 bucks during lunch for a salad and we haven't even added a drink or side yet?! LOL. But, Hey! You can't put a price on your health and eating good. You get what you pay for at Sweetgreen...literally!! And, that is quality food and a good "euphoric" feeling that you are doing something right for yourself. #LiveStrong! read more

I've been in this hood for a handful of years. Seen all kinds of shops come and go before and after COVID. Staff at this location works hard and it shows. Food is well prepared, I don't have any food allergies or major dietary restrictions so I cannot speak to that health concern some may present. Only on one occasion my order was missing a main ingredient, it was handled quickly and courteously. The service has been always positive. Staff seems to maintain the indoor and outside seating in great condition, I just never get to enjoy it. read more

I come to this Sweetgreen a lot, mostly when I go to trivia in Ballston and want something healthy and quick for dinner. As with all the other Sweetgreen's, for menu is the same: they have 5 or 6 warm bowls, 5-6 salads and 3 seasonal ones. I've had almost all of the things on the menu and they are all fantastic. It's rare to find salads that not only taste good, but are filling and healthy for you. During the evening, this place is pretty empty so it's quick to order and have your salad made and tossed with dressing. There's seating both inside and outside, and all the ingredients are fresh. I've tried almost all the different salads and warm bowls here, and the Spicy Thai Salad is definitely one of my favorites. They also have three seasonal salads that change every few months. Overall, this is a great Sweetgreen and the staff is friendly and they know what they are doing. This is one of my staple places to eat when I'm in Ballston, and I love that the salads are delicious, the menu/variety changes with every season, and I don't have to feel guilty about eating out when I'm eating Sweetgreen. Reasonable prices for the amount of food and for the quality of food. read more

I have been walking to get my dinner salad here in Ballston. I order and pay ahead so that strategy forces me to walk. And am pleased we gave so many choices. I have made several runs to sweetgreen. Overall my dinners have been super fresh. I do love, really love, the spicy broccoli. I usually add 3 or 4 helpings. For the massive amount of veggies, the price is fine by me, my salads cost around 16 dollars with the extras I add in. After a streak of great salads I got one that had some not so fresh vegetables. I left feedback on the website. Hearing nothing, I emailed customer service and they answered me and refunded my salad. So I edited this review because corporate took my complaint seriously. That means a lot to me. So on the basis of the quality of the salads I buy and that the one time that I was not happy, corporate answered my complaint and giving SG 5 stars and going back tonight for my dinner salad. read more

If you are in the mood for a salad, this is the place. The kale Caesar with some minor customizations (add cucumber and other crunchy veggies), with light dressing, was very tasty. We ate outside on a cool evening and enjoyed the potentially healthy experience. Don't be afraid to ask for what you want, more of this, less of that. After all, it's a $10+ salad so get it how you like. I think if the weather is hot, there likely aren't enough places to sit inside. So be prepared to get yours to go... read more

Meh- I ordered take out here and got their buffalo chicken salad. I was not impressed as the chicken quality was so full of gristle and not good quality at all.

Ehhhh...iiiiissa salad. A really overpriced salad...and not mind-blowing to begin with. My SO was really craving this place so we stopped by and I got a salad that had tofu, mushrooms, all that good stuff and it was just mediocre, like something I could make at home. I feel like it's petty to even leave a review since it was just a salad and not even a bad one, but just a salad. But I've been to places where the salad is incredible and idk how they do it, but this place just wasn't it. read more

It was a nice day outside so we decided to walk around arlington and eat outside. This was my first time at sweetgreens. Im not the type to crave a salad or even have a salad as a meal but wanted to give this place a try because Ive seen it around. Its a similar concept to chipotle but a salad base version. They have plenty of options for you or you can make your own. We ordered a kale caesar off the menu and i built my own (spinach, raw beets, tomatoes, carrots, apples, egg, with pesto vinaigrette). Theres so many different options available that you could create anything you want and never get tired of eating a salad. Both salads were delicious and I like how you can choose light, medium, or heavy for the dressing. They have a sign in the front to let you know where they get their produce from and they also do not have a soda machine which is logical since soda isnt exactly healthy. They do offer a variety of tea that states how much sugar is in each incase you're curious. read more
