    Food: 5 Customer Service: 5 Location/ Parking: 5 Cleanliness: 5 Reservations: NA Military discount: Yes This restaurant is situated on Forest drive within Columbia, SC and just outside of the Fort Jackson military community. This food option is eco-friendly counter-serve chain for building your own salads, wraps, in a casual and modern space. It's located inside the Trenholm shopping plaza, so there isn't no issues with parking. We decided to order two of their Carolina Cobb bowls, which is very plentiful and affordable. Everything we ordered was very delicious and I'm sure that we will be back in near future. I would highly recommend it to friends and family members who want a healthy dining options.

    Make your own salad with sweet potatoes, chickpeas, olives, cucumbers, and honey mustard dressing

    The salad was fantastic. Portions were generous, I made it hearty and had left overs. Made my own with broccoli, sweet potatoes, chickpeas, olives, and cucumbers with their honey mustard. Dressing was delicious and so were the cooked veggies

    I'd always seen this restaurant in the plaza, but never actually tried it. I needed a quick bite, so I stopped in today. This restaurant is great for anyone that is looking for a healthy meal, implementing better lifestyle changes, or simply wanting a lighter and tasty option. When I arrived, Nigel was super attentive and answered all questions that I had. I had never tried Jackfruit, and he let me sample some to help me make a decision. To my surprise, it was very tasty (but spicy - so I opted against it)! I ended up choosing the The Bowled Buddha + chicken and a chocolate chip cookie. I definitely made the right choice. The bowl was like eating the rainbow, every color was represented from veggie to grain! The turmeric dressing that comes with it was sweet but had subtle heat. The star of the show to me were the pickled red onions. Crunchy, tangy, sweet - ah, chef's kiss! The Bowled Buddha was also a HUGE serving, it could definitely feed two people, maybe even three. In addition to the wide array of veggies, the bowl also came with a slice of bread. Also, the cookie. Can't forget the cookie. Super soft, super delicious, super would get it again, haha! This restaurant is great for vegans, non-vegans and people who just like good food in general. Customer service is stellar, food is delish and healthy = I will definitely be frequenting this restaurant!

    I'm a bit under the weather still with a seasonal cold so needing to boost my vitamins intake with healthier food while having no energy to cook up anything. So, I decided to try Verde as my monthly food splurge via delivery. Ordered two black bean burger bowls for the price of one through a promotion and was not disappointed. The restaurant called me to confirm the ingredients they were taking out of the dish based on my food allergies I listed in the mobile order, just the coconut bacon since it's cooked on the same grill as fish. The black bean burger bowl has grape tomatoes, homemade black bean burgers, green goddess style dressing, and homemade cornbread croutons. A true bowl of healthy deliciousness made with care. If you live in the Columbia area and you want to treat yourself to something yummy and healthy when you're suffering from Soringtime's pollen showers, I highly recommend getting Verde.

    Great place for a fresh higher end wrap place for lunch or dinner. So many combinations to choose from on build your own wraps. Wish I would have known about the stamp card sooner as I eat here at least once a week ! Cool new spot.

    This is how we (spring) roll

Rachel was quick, witty and so sweet and had a way with the kiddos my daughter loved her. We started off with the cast iron goat cheese as the appetizer- solid and even the kids loved it. For our main course my daughter went with the grilled cheese from the kids menu that came with fries and a coke, my son just got a burger with everything but tomato from the regular menu and devoured the entire plate, I was torn between the Mediterranean bowl or the Baja bowl however Rachel recommended the honey harissa bowl with a crab cake and let me tell you it was amazing! Literally tasted so fresh and delicious, my husband was going to go with the steak however they unfortunately were out so he went with his second choice which was the creole shrimp and grits which he cleared the plate but that too was sooo delicious. All in all this place was a solid 5 stars all the way around from, service to atmosphere and flavor and just the freshness of the ingredients they use here. We live just 10 minutes away so I'll definitely be back.

Our waiter recommended drinks for us to start off. I had looked at the menu already so I knew I wanted to try the tuna tostada for an appetizer and my girl got the brick oven broccoli. The tuna was so fresh and melted in your mouth and it was perfect with the chili lemon mayo and capers, giving it a nice pop and spice. The tostada was cooked perfectly and had the nice crunch. The broccoli was cooked well , not hard but not soft and had some spice to it. I ordered the hanger steak with sweet potatoes instead of fries and omg it was so good. I got my steak cooked medium well, and it was perfectly cooked and seasoned. I loved the Parmesan on top of the sweet potatoes. It was the perfect pair. The drink I got was a white sangria which was sweet but not too sweet. You could def taste the wine and all the fruit flavors. My girl go the oven brick salmon and that didn't miss either. This experience was a 10/10 for me.

There was also a nice roasted red pepper and black olive salad that came with it. My only criticism is that I felt like the portion of octopus was small for $21. Then I decided to try the Boeuf bourguignon. This was definitely comfort food. A very tasty beef stew, but a bit different recipe than I'm used to for this dish. Theirs has potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, and onions. But the broth tastes like they might also use a touch of tomato paste. I could be wrong. Nonetheless, it was tasty and the thick broth was yummy on the piece of crusty bread it was served with. I'm tempted to come back and order the entree size of the octopus for $32 and see what the portion size is. Service was excellent. Very attentive.

The food is simply incredible. My husband had the Caesar Salad and the Boeuf Bourguignon. I had the Burrata Caprese Salad and the Rousseau Pizza.

For dessert, we took the advice of our server and ordered the Ube Basque Cheesecake. Wow! (Pictured is the portion we brought home.) I'm a good cook, so when eating out, I expect to have a meal that surpasses my skills. And this most certainly did. The presentation was excellent. I don't give the ambiance a 10, but that's so secondary to the meal I just enjoyed. Thank you to Chef Emma and team!
