We wanted something that wasn’t as heavy for lunch. So glad we found this place! Since we’re not from the area, it was kind of hidden but seemed to be very popular as the line was out the door and down the corridor when we finished. They were super fast and had a great variety to choose from. You can order one of the salads or create your own. I ended up ordering the apple and pear salad and it was delicious. I would caution pairing with olipop- not knowing the fiber content… the soda also didn’t taste great. It had a lingering aftertaste from the stevia/ cinnamon I suppose.
My go to place for lunch, I'm here multiple times a week on average! My go to salad option is the Moroccan - perfect combination of flavors and grain for my taste. I prefer the large size although it can get a bit pricey. Service is quick and I'm impressed at how the folks behind the counter have memorized exactly what ingredients to put for each bowl. Will definitely be back soon!
The best lunch spots in the skyway are typically indicated by long lines and Green + The Grain was no exception. While the long was long, the efficiency and sheer amount of staff had you cruising through line! The salad was delicious and was a generous size for being “small” (I had the Thai Beef Tenderloin).
The Chinese Chicken salad is delicious. I love all the ingredients and the dressing is great. Also love that it's chopped. Not much I dislike more than having to cut up a salad. The line is always really long but moves pretty darn fast.
One thing I noticed, and I don't claim that this is policy but the guy in front of me ordered the same salad but he got the small, I got the large. The person making my salad put the exact same portions of "toppings" on my large as the person making his small, but a lot more lettuce. Not excited about paying extra just for lettuce so next time I guess I'll get the small. However, still a 5 star salad.
The most unfortunate 'thing' about green + the grain, for me, is that I'm stuck on the same few menu options. Stuck because I enjoy them so much, I don't dare risk that pleasure by trying something new. Plus the staff is top notch; knocking out order after order correctly and smiling behind their masks.
Just when you thought this place couldn’t get any better, in comes Tiffany with the BEST customer service I’ve ever experienced in my entire life! Our car broke down on the way to pick up our salads from the mobile eatery. I sent a quick message, letting her know what happened, and she brought the food truck to us, delivering our salads and giving us a jump! Seriously, this business is made if they kindest people you can imagine. Please, keep supporting them!!
Portions are generous, ingredients are fresh. I like that you can customize your salad however you want. Today was my first visit. I got a large salad and couldn't finish it so I'll get the smaller one next time. I also wasn't a fan of the buttermilk ranch dressing. It was a little bland for my taste but I'll definitely return and try a different salad.
I've been ordering through the weekly mobile delivery option for a few months now. Every salad I've received has been fresh and delicious! The service is also excellent: very friendly and helpful even when communicating through Facebook messenger or email instead of in-person. If you love a good salad, I highly recommend Green + The Grain, you will not be disappointed!
Excellent salads, quick service, and convenient skyway location. I highly recommend stopping by here for lunch sometime. I've had nearly every salad on the menu and been pleased every time. They have a large and small salad and trust me the small salad is more than enough for your lunch. I've grabbed a large a couple times and it's lasted two days. They also have rotating soups available and homemade potato chips seasoned in various flavorings. Everything is reasonably priced and the service is so quick you'll have plenty of time left on your lunch break to do whatever else you need to tackle.
Working in construction, many times I get the 'stink eye' from workers in restaurants downtown. Construction workers like to eat healthy, too! LOVE the salads here, and top notch people serving them up. Just wish there were more locations.
