| - I've been to both Grasshopper locations (this one I visited second), and unfortunately the food not only didn't impress me, I found some of it inedible.
I went with a group of six, four adults and two kids, and I was the only vegan among them. Given that we chose to come to Grasshopper due to my eating vegan, I ended up feeling pretty bad/guilty by the end of the meal since no one seemed to be enjoying their food (including me).
The alternate location has a Japanese curry vegetable bowl that a friend got me when I went the last time, and so when I got to the College Street location and saw that they had a curry bowl with "chick-un" I got pretty excited. I was hoping I could swap out the fake meat for the veggies from the miso bowl, but when I asked the waitress she told me that wasn't possible (even if I paid extra). Given that they already have the veggies for the miso bowl, I'm not sure why that was an impossibility.
I wasn't interested in breaded and fried "chicken," so I opted for the haru salad with added tofu. When I got my meal I realized that the tofu was also breaded and fried. That was my mistake in reading the menu, but I wish they had options that were not fried. I ended up picking off all of the breading because not only did it make the meal far less healthy, it also didn't taste good.
My dining companions had:
-"Chick-un Banh Mi"
-Tempeh Sloppy Joe burger
-Spicy Black Bean burger
-"Pulled Pork" Banh Mi
My friend's daughter who ordered the Sloppy Joe wasn't happy with the texture or flavor, so that meal went pretty much uneaten. Her mom ended up picking apart her meal so that her daughter had something to eat. (Our waitress didn't stop by to ask how we were liking the food, and so nobody noticed that there was a relatively untouched meal).
Given what felt like vegan fast food that lacked in quality, taste, and originality, I thought the prices were too high.
