sweetgreen - Healthy Salads, Bowls and Plates — Restaurant in Washington

What a little gem! It can be hard to find GOOD salads that are also actually healthy. If you want superfoods, or light, HOUSEmade dressing, this is your jam. I also love how they list their suppliers on a chalkboard.

The drinks are really tasty as well, and the staff are always really great. I mean great. Finding employees that give a crap in DC is not easy. I walk around getting mumbled at by people who act like I've just asked them to climb everest when i ask them about a menu item or where something is. Take Whole Foods across the street...horrible staff. Now I must say, i LOVE Whole Foods, I go there 3x per week for groceries and salads from their salad bar. I'm not going to anymore now that I've been to this place. I'd rather be served a nice salad or meal at SweetGreen without the attitude of the Whole Foods staff. SweetGreen makes you feel like you're stopping in to visit friends. I like that.

The ONLY thing i will say, is that their bacon can be quite hard, to the point where i can't even chew it because it hurts my teeth...might want to be careful with that.

Ps. I just read other reviews after i posted mine - not sure what staff were rude to them, but mine are awesome and i usually go in evenings or towards...

I have been going to Sweetgreen for many years. I was so in love with their salads that I was asked to be part of a program for their marketing team to try out a salad each month (they’d pay me) and I’d review it). So it is safe to say that I have a lot of love for this restaurant. This was my first time at this particular Sweetgreen, however. I went around noon on a weekday and it wasn’t too busy. The person who made my salad wasn’t particularly friendly (didn’t smile much). I asked for a guacamole greens no onion. They are supposed to ask if I wanted to substitute anything for onion, he didn’t. He barely put any mesclun in the bowl. Now, this is my issue with the new bowls: they barely fill them up. I get a significant less amount of salad with them. That’s pretty bogus since I’m paying close to $10 a salad. I asked for more lettuce politely and he rolled his eyes and mumbled under his breath. I asked for medium dressing, he gave me light. I then asked for dressing on the side, since I felt like I was bothering him asking for more. Overall, not a great experience. Felt like they were just trying to push you out and not much attention given to...

I came in here this afternoon because my body was craving for some real healthy food. I had been to a previous location, but zi still wasn't sure about what to order. After checking the menu, I decided to go for the Buffalo Chicken Salad. This thing included blackened chicken, romaine lettuce, tomatoes, and a bunch of other ingredients that are too numerous to mention here. They prepared the salad in under one minute, and I quickly realized that there was nowhere to sit. I mean literally nowhere to sit. Some of the other restaurants close by at least had a couple of tables set-up outside. Not this place. They had a single table with a single chair situated near the front entrance. It wasn't a huge deal, and I decided to just bring the food to my apartment and eat it there. I'm used to eating at home anyway. The salad had a medoly of different flavors, and my body was loving me for making the...
