Is it terrific marketing or terrible planning to put MAD Greens in the same building as CAVA? I…read morefeel like the kind of people who are interested in a healthy bowl of nourishing food would be split not quite down the middle between both of these restaurants. Are they hoping the better-known Mediterranean bowl place will be so full they can catch their overflow? People in a rush might skip the line and try this less-known healthy bowl food restaurant instead? But I digress... I had tried CAVA four times or so and every time I saw MAD Greens and thought, Someday I'm going to try that place. Well, last Sunday was the day. I got to eat what I wanted because I was eating solo. I'm going all in on this trial run, I thought to myself, so I bought one salad for that day and ordered another to be my lunch the following day. I walked in and was the only customer in the restaurant. I was greeted warmly by the young man behind the counter, who called me queen and had no complaint about my asking for no tomatoes and the dressings on the side. I tried the Greek one and the sesame sriracha one. The place was clean enough and the employees seemed to be enjoying themselves, chatting and goofing off a reasonable amount. The bowls were great. I chose the Greek one first when I realized it had pita chips inside. It came with two dressings, the creamier of which was a.m.a.z.i.n.g. Confession--I am a recovering picky eater and I hate cucumbers, but I love sneaking them into my body underneath delicious dressings and salty kalamatas. The second day I ate the sesame sriracha situation. It had tofu, which tbh I have never successfully eaten, and it was really good. It reminded me of the paneer in Indian food. That salad had edamame too, so I was definitely satiated and I'm guessing I got plenty of protein. Overall, I will definitely go back. CAVA has had some consistency problems for me, as well as some of my favorite offerings being limited-time or seasonal (isn't it the worst when restaurants lure you in with seasonal offerings you can't count on?!), so I'm glad to have had such a positive experience here and I'm hoping they will be consistently good.

I'm gonna be honest... I'm not much of a salad person cause I love to leave it to the rabbits and I…read morecall salads "Rabbit food" lol. However, I must say that MAD Greens makes some MAD GOOD salads. My go to is the spicy bacon bowl with boil eggs. I feel better about my life when I order this because I'm getting my greens in, getting my protein with the chicken, and I'm actually enjoying my rabbit food (aka salad). This is a must have for me. Coming from a non salad person ( I know... it's okay to judge me) I really enjoy their salads and their spicy bacon bowl makes me happy. Another food item that I love is their Mac and cheese. It's so tasty. I love it here and love their salads because the greens taste fresh. #madgoodness

The staff always have a smile on their face, and are glad to see you. They really make the location shine with their good energy. I wish we had more options like Mendocino in our neighborhood.

They're huge! My wife and I should have just ordered one and split it. They are very generous with the toppings that came with Cheddar, bacon, butter, sour cream, green onions on them. The only complaints we had were, that both of our baked potatoes skins were overcooked and very tough, and the skin on the baked potatoes weren't seasoned. The inside of the baked potatoes were very good. The combo included one trip to the salad bar and unlimited soft drinks and tea. Everything on the salad bar was fresh and delicious. All of the vegetables that you could make your salad were very fresh, crispy and delicious. The potato salad was really good too. The chocolate mousse was to die for. It was so creamy and rich. To top all of this off, they have free unlimited ice cream cones....vanilla, chocolate and chocolate/vanilla mix. Nice way to finish off a good meal. The service was lacking. When we were ordering, the person made us feel like we were being rushed to place our orders. It felt like we were being an inconvenience to them...we would have left, but we'd never been to a Jason's Deli before and we wanted to give them a try...so we stayed. The restaurant was clean. It had lots of seating area. We came, we saw, we tried and we doubt we'll be back!
