I've lived in south side over a year, but my first visit to the Southside HB wasnt until recently. The reason is that when the entire business was brand new in oakland, we ate there like 4 times a month.. after church, after work.. whatever.. Not to mention lunch at the downtown location .
My friend stopped in to see me and heard great things about HB. I wanted to show her the cultural shops in southside so we decided to stick there for lunch
Anyone who is new to HB.. its a giant salad bar. They have a menu with salads already thought up by HB (Salads by Us). They also have tons of toppings and you can make up your own salad (Salads by You) HB also has a menu full of sandwiches & burgers (EnP Super Burger is delish). Their fries are fresh cut and they have a freaking ranch dispenser with EnP ranch. They also sell Boylan soda and omg the ginger ale is amazing.
My friend and I both ordered the Apple Almond Crunch.. romaine, grilled chicken, granny smith apples, blue cheese, almonds served with an apple cider vinaigrette. The salad was delicious. I subbed mixed greens for the romaine and mozzarella for blue cheese since im not a fan of that. The dressing was delicious and the salad was light yet so sooo filling.
We also ordered fries and EnP ranch to share. Yaas
