| - If you've been hoping for a healthy option to be added to the 7th & McDowell restaurant corner, this is it. Mad Greens has an extensive salad menu with lots of interesting ingredients and dressings. Some of my favorites are the Doc Holiday salad with chicken & miso sesame dressing, the Don Quixote, which has shrimp & a creamy ginger dressing, and the Soleri, which has unsweetened chocolate, figs, and a spicy prickly pear dressing--it sounds weird but trust me, it's worth a try. You can also just do a custom salad & pick your own ingredients (or make some modifications to the standard menu options). I like being able to do a mix of greens (like 1/2 kale, 1/2 spinach) as well.
I haven't tried any of their sandwiches or wraps, but I've previously gotten the hummus trio and the Mint Cooler fresh juice and both were delicious.
I should mention that since I work out in the east valley, I've never been here during the (surely insane) central Phoenix weekday lunch rush. I've mostly gotten salads to-go in the evening on my way home from work, and I've never been in line for long.
I do think this place got off to a bit of a rocky start in the first few months is was open, but like other Yelpers have mentioned, management seems to be willing to correct any poor experience. My personal example is that about two months ago I was overcharged for my order and after I realized it, I was a bit annoyed and I submitted feedback on the website. I didn't expect to hear back at all, but the GM emailed me a few days later to say he appreciated the feedback and offered me a free salad on my next visit. Since then I've been here 4 or 5 times and it's been solid -- I'll definitely keep coming back.
