| - Quick summary: Food is good but overpriced and loses its attractiveness since it's served in a to-go box. The pressed juice was a complete disappointment! Good service at the register.
Update 4/14/17: Ordered French quarter again and it was good but after I was done saw a review here on Yep about undercooked shrimp now I am a bit worried but I think mine was cooked enough.
Kudos to manager and her response to my Yelp review. I substituted the red onion with yam and French Quarter was still good.
Did not order any drink this time because price too high for what you get.

Detailed review about the meal:
I liked the "French Quarter" meal I ordered which comes with shrimp, brown rice and greens. However, there was way too much red onion which overpowered the meal. About half way through, I picked out all the red onion (there was a lot!) and ate the rest of the meal.
If I go back I will probably order the French Quarter again and ask for no red onion (even though I do like onion) or substitute it for something else.
The amount of the meal was good but if you are really hungry or like big meals, this is not enough food. I wasn't that hungry and thought about ordering something else but decided not to because of the prices.
Detailed review about Pressed Juice:
I will NEVER order a pressed juice at Grabba Green again. I ordered the "Green" juice and it tasted like 10% juice and 90% water, seriously, I think they added water to make it hit the 16 ounces, which appear small for the $8 price tag. I also asked for ginger as an add-on and it tasted like it had NO ginger (they charged me $.75 more). I asked the woman who made it if she added ginger, she said yes, but if she did it, it was not enough. I doubt any ginger was added because most people can taste the tiniest sliver of ginger immediately.
Detailed review about the Service:
On the bright side, the girl who was at the register was very helpful, after asking a ton of questions I asked her if she was the manager and I found out she had only been there three days and knew a lot about the menu and she sounded excited about all the options. If it weren't for her, I would have given this review two stars.
Prices:
My total was over $20 after tax which explains why I labeled this place as "pricey". In other words, if my wife and two kids were with me (family of 4) we could have spent $80 just on lunch if we each got a juice (which tasted like water). If you are taking your family and you are on a budget I would say you would want to try somewhere else. This is good if it's just you (or maybe one other person) and budget is not a priority.
Final comments:
Try one of the meals and decide for yourself if it is worth paying $10.50 again in the future.
Do not order one of the pressed juices, (unfortunately I paid $8.75) instead, go to ChopShop, Raw Juice bar, or Whole Foods for the large juice.
