Naked Lunch — Restaurant in Lower Merion Township

I've been a loyal patron of Naked Lunch for what feels like an eternity, a whole three years to be exact, faithfully indulging in the same salad not once, but twice a week. The confetti bowl, that's my jam, but there's a twist - I always swap out the beans for Taco mix. You see, I've got this unspoken code of salad ethics; no one wants to be around when the evidence of beans decides to stage a dramatic exit. I'm considerate like that, folks!

But here's where the lettuce takes a turn for the weird. This one fine day, as I'm contemplating my trusty confetti bowl, the Department Manager Lisa, a perky ray of sunshine if there ever was one, decides she's had enough of my substitutions shenanigans. She puts her foot down and says, No more freebies, buddy! You're gonna have to fork over some extra cash if you don't want to orchestrate a bean symphony in the office.

Naturally, I'm baffled. I mean, who in their right mind charges extra to spare their customers and colleagues from the musical stylings of beans on the move? It's like a culinary tax on civility! So, I gather my salad dignity, and with a salad fork in one hand and my $22/week salad habit in the other, I declare that I'm taking my lunch crusade across the street.

I mean, let's be honest, folks, there are plenty of lunch spots out there where they don't try to strip your wallet naked just because you want...

New owner??

Let me begin by saying, I have been coming to this location for years, and the food along with customer service has always been consistently great that entire time (I've even left a 5 star review from my other gmail account). Today, however, was a completely different story.

I ordered a Moler Bowl and a Pink Lady, BOTH were unpalatable. The dressing, the drink, and the attitudes of the workers were all sour, to say the least.

1. There were at least 4 staff members present. It took more than 5 minutes for me to even get acknowledged (with no line!) and even more time to get my items.
2. The energy was low and the student who took my order was very short and unpleasant.
3. It was obvious this was newer staff because they were slightly unfamiliar with the menu and clearly not privy to the service culture the owner (at least the one I'm used to) has generated.
4. The same inconsideration and short demeanor was given to a nice customer that came after me.

Now, I get people become desensitized while doing service work and that people are entitled to have a rough day, but my hope with leaving this review is that it will encourage more reflection and better service training...especially when spending $ for lunch that I had to throw away.

I will be back, and I am hoping to have a different...

I forgot to take photos of the food. Our family had been mostly vegan for over a year now and feel great. It was difficult to find vegetarian/vegan places to eat that’s reasonably cost and filling that taste good , not just some boring green salad bowl. I found this place within the “mother’s organic” market and I have to say I am surprised by the delicious, clean flavors and the large portion. My husband who was a big meat eater turned plant based was super happy with the amount of food we got. I tried other places like hip city. They are great too but not as filling( in my opinion) for the price. The cost of each bowl is about $10 / $11 when I got there. I got the sushi bowl which has rice and salad with bits of seaweed and ginger dressing. My husband had the bean burger which was delicious with salad and a light dressing. Overall, first visit was very good. We shopped at the market too and it’s like a smaller version of whole food but...
