And the angels rejoiced! Finally Charlotte has a really great salad place!!! (Sorry, the holidays must be getting to me.) I can't say how impressed I am with this place and the management. Yes it takes 2x the people to make my salad than really needed. But the selection, quality and flavors makes the process totally worth it. They have a wide variety of flavor profiles and I love that they detail all calorie counts regardless if you have an add-on chicken, walnuts or Caesar dressing. I love the Mexicali Vegan Salad (360 cal) with add-on chicken breast and Sweet and Smoky Chipotle!
But what particularly impressed me is their attention to detail. I had asked my salad maker if the falafel had coriander or cilantro in it and she asked the manager. The manager came over and figured out immediately that I was allergic and started warning me about a bunch of different ingredients (avoid tabbouleh and southwestern quinoa) and even had my "chopper" (which reminds me of fluffer - heh heh) remove his whole chopping station equipment and bring in new because the middle-eastern chicken is marinated in coriander and he was worried about the juices. That is an unnecessarily detailed boring story but I was blown away by the precautions they took for little ol' me- it was totally unprecedented. So anyone else with allergies should definitely feel safe there. Bravo for your attention to the customer!
I will be a frequent customer and I hope they open up other locations or buy out Crisp!
