Smoothie King — Restaurant in Riverdale

I generally don’t go for a healthy food choice but in my constant trek to lose weight after my gym visit I was looking for something to replace a meal. Pulled up google maps and smoothie king came up. First I don’t like smoothies cause I always thought of it as like a milk shake, key work being milk which I’m not a fan of as well. Still I decided to try the place out. I walk in and I’m greeted immediately. That’s always a good sign. I look at the menu and I’m overwhelmed. I don’t know where to start. They have so many options based of what your looking to do, protein, cleansing, meal replacement, energy. Some of the concoctions seem like they would taste pretty bad. Kale?? Really? So I ask the girl at the counter what could she recommend for me based of what I had the taste for. I think she recommended the Power Punch for me. It was absolutely delicious! She told me about the enhancers to which I needed the lean one to lose weight. It was definitely not what I expected from a “smoothie”. Since my gym is right in the parking lot I was able to download the app that she put me on to and I can order on the way out and just pick it up. Also on they do like and upsize option for free on certain days so I can get a larger size and save a little money as well. This place has quickly been my meal replacement goto after a workout or if I wanted something lite for dinner and didn’t want to eat heavy or cook for that matter. Staff is in younger side but very professional and efficient and that says a lot considering how these younger kids are today. Shayla has helped me trying a few different things on the menu. Tell her what you looking for and she will...

I came in around 8:40p on 3/28. The young woman with orange hair wearing a black jonesboro high school hoodie had so much attitude. “All i know is everyone better be out in 6 minutes” was one of many rude comments. She mentioned another store stops serving 30 minutes before closing and that they should do the same. Her attitude was unprofessional and off-putting. She was also mad because i didn’t realize it was a friday special and wanted to upsize. I would think as an employee, if someone orders a small it would be natural to remind them of the free upsize on fridays. She constantly went to the back murmuring comments on the phone about my situation. However, the employee with the short red hair and tattoos (couldn’t catch names) has GREAT work ethic and a positive attitude. She should be promoted to manager, hands down, if she is not already. She is a great asset to the team and had great service start to finish. Handled situation with care and I appreciated it. Will not be returning as long as ms attitude is...

Update: I didn’t get my refund or discount for the 1 incorrect smoothie but the next couple of times I went it’s been correct. I have changed my score to 1 star to 3 stars.

My smoothie which was the blueberry power meal, didn’t have any almonds, protein, or the multivitamin. Just the fruit and juice. I know this because I order this smoothie all the time and the smoothie is creamy due to the protein and multivitamin, the color is lighter and you can taste and see the almonds specks. But whoever made it this morning (Sunday, March 23, 2025) didn’t put any of the missing ingredients in here. It honestly tasted like a slushy. I probably will not be ordering from this location again if next time isn’t correct because these smoothies aren’t cheap to NOT be putting it in there and if I am expecting a power meal I shouldn’t have to worry about getting something else to eat. Management, retrain your employees if they don’t...
