Sweetgreen

[Celiac - gluten free review] I absolutely LOVE this place. It’s super popular with the business crowd for lunch but it’s definitely worth it. The salads are excellent, filling, and flavorful. Whenever I go, I make sure to tell my server that I have a gluten allergy, they wash their hands and change their gloves. Sweetgreen’s nutritional menu details which salads have gluten but it’s only a few that have bread or breadcrumbs. My favorite salads are the Harvest, Crispy Rice, and Shroomami.

We have been here several times late in the evening and have always had a great experience. Everything is real fresh and you can always swap ingredients in their premade orders. For example, I like to get the Green Goddess but with sweet potatoes instead of tomatoes and crispy rice instead of tortilla chips. The finish with a lime squeeze is excellent. You can always get the dressing on the side if you prefer. They also have warm options. The fish taco bowl is awesome…especially the hot sauce. The staff is super friendly as well. We would highly recommend this place.

Stopped by for a healthy lunch when visiting Chicago. It was lunch time, so was pretty busy with about 10 people in line, but the line moved quickly. It's the typical healthy eating place offering customizable greens and grain bowls or a salad. There's also predesigned bowls and salads that can be a base starter, but you can still customize it down the line. I started off with the Harvest Bowl as it came with chicken, sweet potatoes, apples, goat cheese, almonds, rice, kale, then added some quinoa and artichokes. All the ingredients looked fresh and the serving area was very clean. Service was prompt and friendly. There's a few tables inside, and some tables immediately outside on Michigan Ave. The tables are close to the restaurant and away from the pedestrians walking down the sidewalk. Nice healthy options if you're looking for a light meal. Good food and service.
