Fresh, Massive Bowls Right Across from FIU If you are looking for a solid spot near Florida International University that moves beyond the standard fast-casual chain, The Green Chicken is a great find. It's located right across the road from campus, making it an easy win for students or anyone in Sweetwater looking for a reliable, healthy-ish meal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is pretty standard--a nondescript, counter-service setup designed for efficiency.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]However, the outdoor seating area is where this place really shines. It is well-shaded and shielded from the Florida sun, creating an inviting space whether you're meeting up with friends or need a spot to pop open the laptop and get some work done.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu is surprisingly expansive, but the best way to describe the experience, at least for what I ordered, is an elevated Chipotle bowl. I went with the Jerk Chicken bowl over black beans (no rice). The Chicken had a nice, clean flavor. It wasn't seasoned to the extreme, so if you're looking for a massive spice kick, you might want to ask for extra sauce, but the quality of the meat was clear. The black beans were cooked perfectly, and all the veggie add-ins were crisp and fresh. The staff here is incredibly friendly and they clearly pride themselves on the "heavy hand"--the portions are huge. You definitely won't leave hungry. It's a great local alternative when you want something fresh, fast, and substantial. read more

Great food! Sometime the line can be a bit long and pick up orders can take a bit but overall I've enjoyed every meal I've had here

Me and my boys were in Miami for a bachelor party. I'll tell you what, we were banged up from the night before and needed to find a food spot. Stumbled across this place because the reviews seemed good. I can't fathom what this place did to us. It gave us life again. I'll go as far to say the jerk chicken wrap fixed my bowel movements it was so good. That wrap was generously thicc and flavorful. The workers were heavenly. I saw this place was rated 4.8/5. It couldn't be more accurate. 4.8/5 is the review read more

Food, customer service, everything was AMAZING!! Delicious healthy food. Try the Jerk chicken bowl

If you want something quick and healthy and has many options, this is the place for you. Very affordable too! I come here every week or 2. It is right by me and they have many options to choose from, including dishes of the day which can vary from pasta to steak sandwich. I used to only get bowls but then I began to try other things and I loved each thing I've gotten. I definitely recommend the quesadilla, building your own bowl (which includes a base, a protein, 4 toppings, and sauce of choice). I recently tried the breaded chicken club sandwich, too. It is delicious but very big and heavy! My only comment on this place is their desserts and their snacks at the counter. They are almost always expired, I'm not sure why. And silly me, I would keep forgetting to check the expiration date. For food, definitely recommend. Maybe not the desserts. read more

The food is outstanding and a great value. Highly recommend the jerk chicken bowl although there are more protein options than I would have expected. You can customize from a lot of fresh options, including adding a fried egg on top of your bowl.

The best food and service. My husband and I have been coming here since it was just the two of us. Now we're a family of 5! Over six years and we've never had a bad meal or experience. The staff remembers us and knows exactly what we we're eating. I wish this place existed when I went to FIU but that was a long time ago! [[HIGHLIGHT]]You usually see a lot of college students from the dorms around but everyone is treated like family.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Go here. Now! read more

The Green Chicken - Butter Chicken with brown rice. Great amount of spice, full of flavor! - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Miami, Florida

My new lunch spot. I've visited a handful of times since first trying The Green Chicken, and wow. Think like Chipotle, but so much better -- and that much more fresh. The staff is incredibly kind, they'll help you out with any question you may have about the menu or otherwise. Their protein options are not at all limited, from jerk chicken to picanha steak you'll find something that's right for you. The location is a bit small, it's only to-go orders really. The parking structure has about 3-4 spaces that belong to the actual restaurant and peak time is almost always around noon-1 PM for lunch. With FIU being a few steps away, it's most students' go-to. If you're feeling a nice, filling bowl or wrap, this is your spot. read more

This place has the best Rib Eye tacos in miami.. it is a fair price for quality, there is only street parking available. There is a set menu and everyday specials, as well as the option to make your own bowl in the moment . [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is normal, nothing too fancy[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], and service is excellent. read more

I'm glad I decided to give the green chicken a second chance. Last time I came I had put an order online about 45 minutes in advance but it was not prepared in time. The food was yummy so I decided I would try again later. The food is well portioned and leaves me with leftovers for later. So far I've tried their quesadillas and wraps and for the value you really can't beat it. You have your choice of 5 toppings + protein for under $11 which is great! If you're looking for a filling wholesome meal I definitely recommend checking this place out. However, the parking situation is atrocious so be mindful of that. read more

Awful.. I can eat better cheaper food in other places.. But the people there are very nice .. I'm sorry but the food is a no for me

Okay, I'm OBSESSED with this place! Super convenient location--right across from fiu. We parked in PG4 and crossed the street since there isn't much parking in the area. The staff was SO nice and service was super fast. The food was SCRUMPTIOUS and tasted super fresh. The bowls were a very generous portion--lasted me two meals. Since it was taco Tuesday we decided to try the birria tacos and they were the best we've ever had. Will definitely be a regular here. Obsessed! read more

My friend, who lives right above this place, recommended it to me. It's clearly designed for FIU students, with a casual, come-and-go vibe. While it may not have anything particularly unique, the staff were incredibly nice and friendly. I tried the Chimichurri steak tacos, which, at $15 for three tacos, initially seemed pricey, but they were generously filled with delicious meat and larger than your average taco. The crispy tortilla and the flavorful skirt steak with chimichurri were a delightful combination. Will definitely be back to try some more. read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch and decided to try the jerk chicken burrito, recommended by the friendly "burr-ista." The technique they used to stuff all the toppings into one burrito was impressive. I shared it with my best friend, and it was more than enough for both of us. The woman helping me made sure we knew she was well equipped, "I had a baby, I know how to tuck in a burrito." Welcoming smiles, great service and great food! We will be back! read more

It was amazing the food here is great they literally serve almost everything you can think of!! What's better than the food is the service they are amazing and so compassionate. I eat here all the time and continue to a must TRY!!! read more

I wrote a review a couple of days ago while very angry after a horrible experience. I got back a vile response from the owner, so I'll start again. I had a hard day, ordered what I thought would be a delicious lunch, as I've ordered from them several times before. Just wanting to relax and enjoy. This time, it was awful. I was looking forward to what they call Green in their name, plus some chicken. That's what I liked about this place in the past. The freshness of the greens plus a protein. I have no idea what happened on their end, but the toppings I ordered were mainly just not there, and instead toppings that I didn't order. Very little greens except for the wrong ones. No black beans that I ordered, no cilantro that I ordered. Etc. And the absolute worst part, is that they filled the plate with tons and tons and tons of chicken. Just looking at it made me gag. It was dry and so unappetizing. Some pieces of chicken had bone fragments. I ate some, and have had an upset stomach since. I immediately contacted the Restaurant and spoke to the owner and expressed my displeasure very politely. She offered a refund and I declined. It wasn't about the $$ but the horrible experience. I wrote my review. I was absolutely not happy. But I was done. But then my phone kept ringing. I ignored it. I had a rough day and wanted to be left alone. The owner forced her employee who obviously wasn't trained in how to prepare a meal properly, to call me. Repeatedly. And then to text me!! Instead of just letting it go. Offering me money again, as if that takes care of a horrible experience. How dare the owner give out my name and phone number to an employee? Unreal. So I sent back several text messages expressing how I really felt about the disgusting food they sent me. How dare this employee invade my private space with repeated calls and then a text about her mistake. Just ridiculous. I felt harassed for just expressing how disgusting their food was. So I got upset and responded. The world has become very complicated when you can't even order food and give an honest opinion without having boundaries broken. The owner is 100% responsible for not training her staff, yet she forces them to repeatedly contact the customer. Extremely disappointed. read more

Came here for some good food for lunch and was shocked to see it empty on a Saturday. Usually this business is booming mon-fri and for good reason too. I ordered the big mouth bowl with chicken teriyaki and cilantro sauce. Also got myself a mango pineapple smoothie which was AMAZING! Staff is always nice and courteous as well as fast and efficient with the serving of ingredients. My meal and drink came out to 17 dollars and the price is totally worth the amount of food you get.the only thing I'd critique is the lack of parking for this business since its located on the first floor of a university dorm which has limited parking and kind of always blocking off the way when parking to dine in. Overall 9/10 read more

If I could give this place 6 stars I would. Super clean and friendly staff. Lissy was amazing at explaining and recommending different items on the menu. I love breakfast and they have an all breakfast day menu so I ordered waffles with bacon and sunny side up eggs. Best I've had. The waffles didn't even need the syrup of how good it was. My mom got the chicken bowl & it was also awesome. Will be back soon! read more

The Green Chicken - Waffles, bacon and eggs. The waffles are under. - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Miami, Florida

This place is located on the first floor, facing 8 st , in the 109 Tower. If you drive by 8st you always see the sign but very difficult to see the entrance haha. Parking is located inside the apartment parking garage. There are LITERALLY four spots!! All the parking is assigned to residents, future residents, extreme hair salons and the green chicken. Literally FOUR SPOTS. Once inside, this place is very tiny. They have bar stool seats, about 10 and four desk . Everything is extremely well kept and the service is AMAZING. You could create your own bowls, wraps and salads. They have two sizes of bowls, the regular size I promise is big enough to fill you up. Next time I go I am trying their jerked chicken or maybe a wrap, but definitely coming back. read more

Came back to this little gem. Never disappoints!! Had their streak bowl and it was amazing! Staff is great! Good is awesome. Parking is a challenge.

I really enjoyed this place and would definitely go back.  I had a lunch planned with a co-worker and we wanted to check out a new place.  The Green Chicken's location was somewhere in between us and it had great reviews so we decided to check it out. It's located on the ground floor of a residential building just across from FIU (SW 8th Street & 109th Ave.), just off the main road but parking is not great. I ended up finding paid parking about a block away in front of a nearby strip mall. Not too far at all. The place was bright, clean and employees were very nice, greeted you before you approached to order with a smile (which is nice these days). The food selection was impressive. Their big items were Wraps, Salads, Quesadillas, Tacos, Wings and Smoothies, with some Jamaican influenced items on the menu (jerk meats, wings, Jamaican beef patties, etc...). They also had some daily specials that looked appetizing. We went on a Wednesday which was 'Pasta Day'. And you could have the pasta carbonara or with any of their meats as proteins which included Bacon ('carbonara'), Chicken (grilled or Jerk) and steak - including Picanha (!) and Churrasco (skirt) - which they say they have every day and available in any of the formats - wraps, bowls, pasta, etc... The menu shows some seafood items as well but I didn't explore.  The food prep area was setup in kind of a 'Chipotle-style' fashion where you pick the format and ingredients and add your protein. Everything looked very clean, fresh and ingredients were abundant! I had a Jerk Chicken Wrap (custom built with the ingredients I wanted) which was VERY TASTY! My coworker had a bowl with steak and rice. We both shared a Jamaican Beef Patty which was really good! And we each had smoothies - which they call out are made with fresh fruit (vs. frozen stuff I guess) which is nice. I had a Pineapple Ginger and he had a Mango Pineapple smoothie. Both really good. Portions are generous and I tend to believe you are able to take home some leftovers but I ended up gobbling up my whole huge wrap and as a result was still full around dinner time. So in summary - food and service were very good! If there was a 4.5 star rating, I would give them that. It's a Very Good place, and I would recommend your eating there. So why not 5 stars? For 5 stars, you kinda' have to 'blow my mind' somehow. That's just my take on 5 stars. Also - It wasn't cheap.  A little more than expected by a place by the university frequented by students. For 2 food items (bowl & wrap), 2 smoothies and 1 beef patty the bill was $51.81 (includes 15% tip). That was a little more than I expected. Also - there's no inside seating. Although there are a few small tables outside in the shade but it can see it getting a little hot if there's no breeze. There was a light breeze while we were there but we spent a lot of our time swatting away at flies that wanted in on our food.  Not sure much can be done about that but maybe an outside bug zapper?  Explains why a lot of their food was being picked up 'to-go'.  Great place though and great food. I would highly recommend and expect to return to "The Green Chicken"!  :-) read more

Great wraps and smoothies. Only downside is long wait in line at lunch ( about 30-40 minutes from getting in line to getting out with food). There is also no indoor seating but some outdoor tables are available. I would not recommend this place if you are in a hurry, but do eat here because the food is fresh and delish! Try the jerk chicken wraps and wings they were really great! read more

Such a great place, Never disappoints! Food is great but my go-to order is the peanut punch with extra peanut butter! I don't even live close anymore and I still visit when I'm in the mood for a smoothie. The owners are very nice and the service has always been great. Recommended 100% read more
