| - Thankful to have a healthier lunch option in Uptown, as it is an area surprisingly lacking in healthy, affordable quick places to eat that are tasty, but compared to other salad/health places I've had (e.g. Sweetgreen or Lemonade) in other cities, I would put Grabbagreen on the same level as Freshii or Energy Cafe. The website looks great and the ingredients are promising, but there are a few hiccups.
I ordered the South Beach that comes with avocado, beet, blueberry, hemp, kale, parsley, pistachio, spinach, feta and a mediterranean pomegranate sauce. Sounds great, but when I got back to my office, I opened up a salad with a brown avocado, maybe 6 blueberries total, and no hemp or feta. All in all it was a fine salad, but part of the appeal of this place is the diversity in ingredients, and if not all ingredients are included, it somewhat defeats the purpose.
Also - beware the pricing on the proteins - its $3 to add any protein, including blackbeans or edamame...since when do black beans and edamame cost the same as steak or salmon?
I was hoping for a better showing from Grabbagreen. It is a quick fix for a healthier lunch. However the food I received (or lack there of) for the price I paid definitely left something to be desired. Not sure if I'll be back.
