This was the worst Whole Foods prepared food section I've ever seen - this goes for selection and cleanliness.
To be fair, I did not come here to grocery shop, but to grab a quick and non-fast food dinner on a marathon ten-hour drive from New York to Columbus. So I kept the extra star on in case their grocery section is better taken care of.
The hot bar and salad bars were each small, but beyond that most of the dishes on the hot bar itself were empty. The salad bar was not much better, and each had food slopped all over and between containers.
I tried to cobble together a salad out of one of their quinoa dishes over spinach (having to sort through the spinach because there were some gnarly pieces), and set it down on the counter by the condiments to add some extra flavor. Unfortunately, nobody had wiped down the counter, so I set it in an oily goopy mess that seeped through the cardboard and into my spinach.
Needless to say, I did not eat the salad and will not be returning.
Edit: I was there on a Sunday night at 7:30PM, so I was doubly shocked there was no such little attention being paid at peak dinnertime.
