4.2.24 The concept is very similar to Cava. I normally don't eat at Cava because healthy food doesn't typically excite me, however, since I have been eating poorly lately I decided to give this a try. I came with a colleague for lunch. I decided to get a custom warm bowl ($9.95) which included: herb roasted chicken ($4.65), roasted tofu ($2.65), cucumber, carrot, arugula, and spinach (choice of four toppings). I also got a can of Cola ($3.65). I loved my bowl, the chicken was nicely seasoned and I haven't had tofu in a while so I really enjoyed it. I thought the bowl and soda were both pricy, however, had I stuck to a bowl off the menu, I would have saved a bit. Unlike Cava and other similar operations, I like that they have a large selection of sauces to choose from. I enjoyed the Chipotle and Ranch sauces. The restaurant has limited seating, but most patrons got their food to go. There is street parking, a garage, and a lot behind the restaurant. They have two types of loyalty programs, one is free and the other one is an annual membership that offers additional perks. I really enjoyed my bowl and would return albeit not frequently given that it's a bit pricy. Glad I decided to give it a try. read more

Did it taste good? Yes. But I did a "build your own," so it should taste good because I picked exactly what I wanted. Was it worth more than $16? Well...I'd like to let the picture speak for itself, but I also want to call attention to it in case whoever is reading this review has bad cell coverage and isn't able to see the photo. 1.2 ounces of chicken in the entire thing. If I were single, the lack of meat in this salad would have me calling an ex who I also knew wouldn't be able to deliver the meat, but at least he wouldn't charge for it. read more

First that I've been to Sweetgreen and it was delicious! If you're a skeptic like me and think it's expensive for a just a salad? I was humbled so quick! I got the chicken pesto parm and I LOVED IT! (I even had left overs for a quick snack). For me, the herbed quinoa made the dish! I got medium amount of sauce on my plate and a side of bread. I've always been a fan of chicken and parm but never the combination with pesto in it. It's really light and I definitely got all my intake of vegetables for the day. I found the ripple fries with garlic aioli sauce to be okay and probably won't get it again. Loved the seating area and big windows! read more

Completely disappointed in Sweetgreen. I have only had this place one time years ago and it was fine. But yesterday, my coworker was picking up lunch and I decided- hey, let's give Sweetgreen a try. Upon receiving my bowl I paid $16 dollars for (miso glazed salmon) I got a corner worth of food and it looks like it was scrapes lying around that was just thrown in the bowl. I am again highly disappointed because I felt like this was a treat to myself and the feeling I had opening the bowl has convinced me that maybe I won't be back here. I also found out they were founded in DC and I live in the DMV and understand chain restaurants can vary in quality but this was done in your back yard. Makes me feel questions other locations. read more

Dear sweetgreen, Soft openings are always a hot mess and I always expect a long line, grumpy customers, inadequate preparation, and did I mention I try to stay far away from soft openings? But you my dear, You made a soft opening look effortless. You sent friendly reminders in the days leading up to the day with clear instructions. You had plenty of staff on hand, warm friendly faces to greet, serve, and check customers out. You made the food as quickly and correctly (that's not a word, I know) as possible. The icing on the cake? Well, that was that my food was made correctly and everything was tasty. Sure, my friends mentioned that they had some hiccups in getting their bowl done correctly, but I would say, this was a big success. Thank you read more

This was my 2nd time going to sweetgreen - - Pros: as someone who is always looking to up their protein intake, there's so many options here. The quinoa, chicken, sweet potato are great options. I also love how you get a whole half of an avocado! The ingredients taste fresh and I feel good after (there's no bloat or sleepiness like after a chipotle bowl) The space is also clean and the windows let a lot of light in. Cons: I feel like they're light handed with ingredients. My first bowl ever was small and maybe only half filled. The bowl pictured, I asked for extra of a few things. For the price ($21 for the bowl below) I feel like more greens/rice could be given. Services is average, not rude but also not amiable. read more

Visited during opening week and was impressed by the cleanliness and friendly greetings. Their menu has salads, plates (protein plus carb plus greens), sides, kids meals and warm bowls . Regarding the warm bowls and salads one can concoct his/her own or order a signature menu item. I chose the shroomami warm bowl. It had everything I liked (tofu, beets, cucumbers, warm wild rice, kale and marinated portobello mushroom pieces) . It was tossed in a miso sesame ginger dressing and came with a piece of whole wheat bread. The bowl was nourishing and generously portioned. Loved how the dressing didn't drown or overpower the bowl ingredients. The star was the mushrooms. They were juicy and marinated in a soy and sesame based sauce. The menu has many gluten free and vegan options. read more

Sweetgreen is delicious and nutritious. This one is no different. I love the location and the space, it's very open and welcoming, plenty of room for pondering your order and for dining indoors or outdoors. There is a clear list of ingredients and sources, the menu is easy to follow, the pick up area is easy to use, and the staff are friendly and efficient. There is only good commentary for this sweetgreen! Also, there is plentiful parking in either the nearby parking garage or in the parking lot shared with Harris Teeter. So, really easy to get your food here! read more

Have severe food poisoning roughly 5 hours post consumption of a kale chicken Caesar. I scanned my app for points, and paid for the order, but haven't gotten a record of either so I'm not sure how I'll report it. Maybe if my credit card states that charge tomorrow but they never sent me receipt so this will be hard to officially submit. Chicken was dry and had inedible pieces that needed to be spit out read more

Happy to see a Sweetgreen in up county. This location hasn't been opened long. Parking- plenty of garage parking or if you are lucky, there are some street parking. Service- I ordered online so minimal contact with the staff. I did asked a cashier where to pick-up online order, and she said, "go to the end and to the left ". So I asked, you mean get in line? She just kept saying go to the end and to the left. We finally figured out that you had to go down the hallway and turned left. My only suggestion would be to mark "pick-up" area better from the main restaurant. There were no sign whatsoever from the main entrance to go down the hall. Food- I ordered the Farmhouse Caesar. It was very fresh and very good. I do wish for just a little more of each ingredients. Never had raw beets before but it definitely a crunch element to the salad. Definitely will be back. Maybe the pick-up area will be better labeled next time but I already know where it is. read more

First time trying Sweetgreen over the weekend and I would absolutely go back. I ordered the hummus crunch salad and added roasted sesame tofu. It was so fresh, flavorful, and delicious. Their pesto vinaigrette is a perfect dressing, too. My herbal tea was tasty - I would order the exact same dish and drink all over again! The staff members who helped us were very friendly and happy to answer any questions as well as give suggestions on what to choose (so many options!). I especially love all the environmentally friendly efforts that this business promotes. The inside dining area was roomy and very clean with designated waste receptacles for compost, recycling, and landfill. There is also a cozy outside space with several dining tables. read more

Its a salad place. Hard to f up a salad. Its also healthy, which is good. Its actually pretty expensive. But, they have a lot of salad options I had not considered. Stay away from the crunchy rice. That sound of the crunch reverberates from the teeth along my temple. I did not enjoy the crunchy rice. So, it's an expensive healthy option. I'll give it another try. Sans rice. read more

Came for dine in lunch. I can't drink beverages with sugar or carbonation so I asked if they had any bottled still water, answer was no. Then realized their self serve water was "out of order". I requested a cup of water from the kitchen so I could have water with my meal. They said no. I recommended they purchase some bottled water for guests that would like some...they all just stared and mumbled excuses. The entire time I felt completely dismissed. As a paying guest, I expect the basics of having drinking water. What a complete lack of ownership, initiative, problem solving, empathy...... Management should be humiliated at the service they provided today. read more

So happy when they opened this location in Gaithersburg I work in DC and very very familiar with the brand. They have the best salads, hearty ingredients and makes you feel good without giving up flavor. The staff for this location is great, always friendly and smiling. read more

I have gone here twice now, during the soft opening and once more after. The soft opening was great, extremely nice customer service. They provided free food during their soft opening, so I was expecting a hectic crowd. The crowd was there, but was not hectic. The person controlling the line kept it going at a nice flow. Only issues were customers not knowing what they wanted! Ever since the soft opening, I have returned once. Utilizing the app for pick up, everything was easy and convenient. Food was ready a few minutes before my designated pick up time, I received a notification that it was ready, and the food was ready when I arrived! read more

Love love the convenient location close to my work. I got my regular order: the harvest bowl and I add the spicy cashew dressing for an extra kick. Now that I know it's so close to me I might branch out and try new things. I ordered for pick up and it was ready when I arrived even though it was about 10 minutes before my scheduled pick up time. Again, just a really convenient location so glad that it opened up. read more

This place is inconsistent. Sometimes the food is fresh and other times it has an old flavor to it.

Good service at the Downtown Crown location and love the locally sourced ingredients.

I wish I could give this place a -100 stars. I received food poisoning from this establishment and it lasted for 3 days. Had a fever for 102. 4 hours after eating the bbq ranch chicken rice with avocado and onions bowl my stomach started to feel off. I head home fall asleep. Immediately wake up at less than an hour later and start vomiting my brains out and pooping at the same time non stop every other 10 mins. Please do not eat here. If you value your pipes, your family's noses and your own health don't eat here. The only healthy thing that came from this is that I've lost 10 pounds due to the food poisoning. Thanks sweet green, my poop and vomit from your food poisoning was really green. I also want to add that I had to go to urgent care to make sure it wasn't the norovirus. The doctor said that it was definitely the worst case of food poisoning she'd ever seen in the urgent care. I blow up the urgent care bathroom and they had to give me zofran. Do not go to sweet green. I'm sure the people working are just trying to do their job but their last priority is your safety when preparing your food. DO NOT EAT HERE. And if any one from sweet green is reading this this occurred on 1/17/2025. I'm not coming back! I appreciate you sending me my money back for the meal but I will also need my hospital bill paid and the pay from the work I missed due to the food poisoning from your food. read more

While I like Sweetgreen overall, I think this location really over-dresses their salads (even when you tell them to just put a light amount), which can lead to wilting greens when you're ordering food to-go. I've also had some situations where my food has not tasted the freshest, such as the greens, cheeses, or the meats. Overall though, this is one of the healthier spots you can go in the immediate area if you're looking for a quick lunch. The restaurant space is clean, and the staff are overall very friendly. I don't think I'll stop coming here, but most the time the food I've gotten here has been just okay. read more

Even with a few problems I still give 5 stars because of the fact that I ate every single bite. The steelhead was perfectly cooked and not dry. I didn't expect it to be so well prepared. The portion is about 4-5 oz The hot sauce for the fish was good and the salad dressing was fantastic. While the tiny container was enough sauce for the fish, it was far from enough for the giant salad underneath. I ordered the hot bowl with spring mix and quinoa base. What I got was a giant salad with an ice cream scoop of quinoa off to the side. I also ordered extra topping of sweet potato which were about a 1/4 cup which is great for the low add on fee. But then I added red onion for the same price and got a mere spoonful of cubed onion chunks which all fell to the bottom of the bowl and were impossible to eat with the plastic fork. It's 2023 can we just agree that red onions should be shaved thin for a salad? Everything was put in its own little spot on top of the bed of lettuce so I had to remove the fish and sauce container and small scoop of quinoa so I could shake up the salad ingredients and dressing. I wish they would sprinkle the ingredients over the salad so I could just pour the dressing and eat it. The only big downfall is the avocado which was a generous 1/2 avocado but was completely inedible. I don't know if it was frozen or way too ripe or what but it was hard as a rock. It had a bunch of knife slits in it as if they tried to ripen it faster but whatever they did. It didn't work. This was the only thing that got thrown out. Literally every other drop was great. The bread was also surprisingly fresh as if it was baked there. read more

The wild rice they served was super dry- it looked like it was scraped off the bottom of the pot. The steak was salty and dry as hell. I wasn't expecting a Chipotle type of bowl (content-wise) but be reasonable with the portions you serve. I paid full price for a meal NOT an appetizer. Very poor preparation and disappointing!!! read more

This was my first order with SweetGreen and, needless to say, it was a most unsatisfactory experience. The order was provided with all correct information but never delivered after waiting over 1.5 hours, almost twice their estimated delivery time. You can't speak with a human being to inquire about the status of your order -- they direct you to a chat service that tells you they will get back to you in 24 hours via e-mail. I realize mistakes occur, but this location has no way of correcting the mistakes. I will never use them again. read more
