| - One thing a friend/co-worker and I have talked about for the last 6 years is the lack of really good salad options at the university end of State Street. During the day I often don't have time/inclination to sit down at a restaurant and don't want to eat a really basic salads they offer (or the combination of ingredients they have is not appealing to me). The local by-the-pound salad bar at the grocery store is fine, but boring and not something I really want to spend money on.
Forage however, is something I'm willing to spend money on! Let's be real, how often are you going to go to the trouble of preparing as many interesting toppings for your salad? Occasionally? Maybe? I love salad but hate boring ones and this is far from it.
I've come several times since it opened and have enjoyed the staff, who are very friendly, the selection (it's incredibly hard to narrow down which toppings I want any given day) and have been so impressed with the four salads I've had. I love Chipotle as much as the next gal, but I think this is far better - wider range of choices and healthier.
Side note: The review from A.H. below is more than a little off-base. Yes, if you build your own and get goat cheese and chicken (like I did the first time) it'll be about $12-13. But it's a massive bowl and it will fill you up just fine. The most recent salad I got (build your own, with hard boiled egg) was less. It's huge, delicious and filling.
I try to not dine out too often, but this will definitely be part of my regular rotation of the small handful of favorites in this area. It's quick, offers a great range of options, and is good for you. Keep up the good work guys!
