| - We stopped into Fresh Planet on a whim since we were shopping over at Avon Commons and wanted a quick "light" dinner before going to see a movie. We were going to opt for Panera but we've passed Fresh Planet a few times (it's in the plaza with Chipotle and Marc's) and decided to try something new. We walk by the Liquid Planet in Crocker sometimes and this is a sister store of the brand apparently. We walked through the door and the place had a bright but dated feel and reminded me almost of a forgotten ice cream parlor. It had some older looking booths and tables throughout and there was a small gathering of patrons on the inside.
The menu is pretty simple, salads, wraps, smoothies which are all supposedly fresh and made to order. The menu is displayed brightly and loudly when you walk in and there are tons of options; the menu was actually a bit intimidating with so many choices. We were greeted kind of sheepishly by what seemed like a newer employee who wasn't very friendly. She took our order of 1 hangover smoothie (to split), the Clevelander chicken pita and the "special of the day" buffalo chicken pita. Both pitas come with sides and we both opted for chips and salsa (the other options of sides didn't seem all that appetizing).
We waited about 5 minutes for our food to be prepared by one girl who was working extremely hard (probably the manager) and another who looked as if she would rather be anywhere else. Our food was brought to the service station where they hand it to you and I grabbed a cup of the complimentary water. We decided to go halves on the pitas and I dug into the buffalo style one first. This was like any other buffalo chicken wrap I have had. Decent chicken, decent sauce and decent ingredients. Literally decent but not one step above decent. My "Clevelander" sub pretty much tasted exactly the same but it had bacon and & peppercorn sauce which made it slightly the better of the 2. The chips were Tositios Rounds and the salsa pretty much tasted like it was from a jar. I really wasn't a fan of the Hangover smoothie (strawberries, mango, banana, OJ, and a bunch of other things I can't really remember); to put it honestly it wasn't worth the money I spent on it.
Fresh Planet wasn't the worst dinner I have ever had but I would expect a place with the title of "Fresh" to have a little fresher menu. Nothing seemed all that fresh, the complimentary water was lukewarm, the employees weren't very friendly at all and the place seemed kind of dirty. I wish the side items they offered were more homemade and that the smoothies tasted a little better. 21 dollars for 2 pitas and a one smoothie seemed a bit high considering the items we received were not all that "fresh". I will most likely not return.
