I think if you've become accustomed to GIGANTIC portions at restaurants, then it's not the place for you. Otherwise, simple and plenty of good, fresh food.

I eaten there twice and found it to be outstanding. The Chipolte Chicken was all white meat and the greens were the best. I ordered the staek sandwich the 2nd time and it was fabulous. Will be back guys. My small complaint is that the salad didn't fill me up. However, I will tell you I weigh 260 lbs. Maybe I should order two salads next time. I love the place.

I ordered the flatiron steak, yukon mashed potato, and simple tender green salad with sherry vinaigrette. I think the $10 meal was a steal giving the quality of the meat, potato, freshness and beauty of the greens. Will definitely come back soon. Tender Greens has my best wishes.

The line was long but substantially quicker. They are obviously getting into their rhythm. There are usually hot chicks to look at, so that makes the line fly by, also. Had the same flat iron sandwich, and it was tender and the bread was soft. Not a fan of the pickled peppers, so I took them off. Problem solved. The lemonade is susbstanially tart-er this time, so they have definitely adjustes the lemonade from ultra-sweet to zingy refreshing. Went there again on Friday.

The food is so tasty, fresh and yes very affordable. Where can you get a plate with steak, salad greens, and a pile of mash for 10bucks? Thanks above for the comments-I couldn't agree more!! Obviously brand new place, still working things out. Friendly staff, awsome patio, great eats!! Thanks Tender Greens. Honestly people give them a break!!

I found their service to be excellent as well, and I've discussed the wait issues with the manager there. I know they didn't expect to be swamped in the opening weeks, and they're working on it. I can only pity them given the high maintenance customers they are attracting (see the complaint above--talk about obsessive-compulsive disorder, my god. And I saw this very same complaint on City Search--does this woman have a vendetta against this place or what? Hey, they gave you your money back AND they wear GLOVES, AND one of the owners apologized in writing on City Search--give them a break, OK?). I think this place was long overdue. As for the comments about price--it's cheaper than their competitors and the quality is there. I’ve eaten at this place several times, and I have to say I love the food.

Not only were you correct in pointing out unsanitary conditions, but to take that posture with a customer will only ensure bad word of mouth...just like what you wrote here.

After witnessing an employee wiping down his bloody cutting surface with a dirty rag, wiping his hands off on his stained apron and then using those same unwashed hands to pick up my steak, I complained to the manager, but was sharply rebuffed. The manager interrupted me with defensiveness, condescension, and no apology. A pity, because I'd heard good things about their food.

BUT DON'T ORDER THE BERRY LEMONADE UNLESS YOU WANT TO DRINK FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP AND PAY 4$ FOR IT. MY MISTAKE JUST ASSUMED THIS TYPE OF FRESH FOOD PLACE WOULD SERVE FRESH FRUIT DRINKS NOT ARTIFICIALLY FLAVORED FRUCTOSE. long wait. excellent food.
