Pineapple hibiscus lemonade
John B.

Salad restaurants fill a fairly narrow niche in my book; after all, you can just buy some ingredients and put them together yourself. Nonetheless, when I did need a quick lunch in the area of Old Metairie and didn't have the luxury of having a lot of fresh ingredients on hand, this place filled that niche pretty well. I did not have time to customize a salad, which I would like to have done. Nonetheless, their standard Southwest salad did well for me, with some black beans and avocado getting me to where I wanted to go nutritionally. The lemonade I ordered was tasty enough, and it was a time-efficient stop. More expensive than a trip to the farmer's market? Probably, but convenient and healthy and worth a stop when that's what you need.

BBQ Chicken

High prices but good product, so you get what you pay for. Miss the Elmwood location but Metairie Road is the exact same -- and maybe even less busy -- so it's a good option. Wish there were more options but orders are easy to customize. Staff is helpful enough. Music is often...odd but nothing to be mad about.

What I ordered as advertised, chopped salad

Ordered food to the hospital today on my lunch break and could not believe what they sent me for the price I paid. Would never order here again! Pics of what I ordered vs what I got

The pink items circled in yellow are NOT tuna. As you can see there's only a few bites of tuna and even lesser of mango.

Yes Yuz salad had like 3-4 bites of tuna for almost $13! Not to mention only about 2 pieces of mango and the rest of the was greens and red onions. Completely overpriced and basic. However, the Thai Chicken wrap was delicious! It was fully loaded for $9. Seriously, there was more protein in half of the wrap than the entire salad! Stick with the wraps. Not sure if we picked the wrong salad, but I'll never order another tuna or seafood salad here. For the price I'll go elsewhere and get at least 3x+ the quantity and higher quality of seafood.

I wanted to give this place one last go. Unfortunately, it was a waste of money. The beet street salad, typically made with field greens was "served"w ith romaine. I quote that, because the bowl was barely half full. I went to check out and after having my credit card run the employee had already hit the 18% gratuity button. Shady, lady. Unfortunate for you, I usually tip 20-25% having been in the service industry most of my college life. The place seemed dirty, dreary... I won't be returning.

Fruit bowls!
Candis H.

I can't thank city greens enough! I work at a hospital in an intensive care unit and dealing with the COVID-19 patients. My parents wanted to order food for the unit, I reached out and contacted City Greens. They were so accommodating, kind and professional. We ordered 4 different wraps and fruit bowls for everyone. The wraps were absolutely delicious!!!!! I had a southwest wrap and a turkey avocado one. The food was fresh, presented nicely, tasted amazing! I can't wait to go and eat here in person once everything goes back to normal. Until then, I would 10/10 recommend them. Thank you again City Greens!

Trendy salad bar in Old Metairie. The set up reminded me of the salad bars I've been to when I lived in NYC. I got mixed greens with mozzarella, avocado, tomatoes, grilled chicken and balsamic vinaigrette. Overall, I enjoyed my salad. It was fresh and tasty. With that said, there could've been a bit more dressing, and the chicken was a bit chewy/dry. It wasn't the best I've ever had, but definitely very good! As far as cost, I paid almost $15 for my salad and a bottle of water, and as much as I enjoyed my salad it definitely was not big enough to justify the cost. I'd go back again since there aren't too many salad bars in the area, and like I said I really did enjoy my salad, it's just not a place I'd necessarily frequent given the cost.

Comes with salad, chicken, and hummus with your choice of white or wheat pita. It's always really good. Tried the four cheese pizza for the first time because I was starving. It was really good. Only thing that would make it better is if it had something to dip it in. Usually get it to go and it's been a while since I've sat down and ate. I feel like the sit down portions are much larger which is nice. They just did a huge renovation and it looks great. Our server was great, the food came out really fast, and we enjoyed it.

Charlie's Moon Sandwich is gravy roast beef, grilled ham, provolone, Swiss, coleslaw and Russian Dressing on a muffuletta loaf. A quarter of this sandwich is plenty for 1 person and very satisfying with all of the tasty ingredients. Hubby had his fav-a hot sausage poboy and his sister got a plain fried grouper sandwich (yeah, plain. I don't know what to say about that, lol). We also had frips-flatter than a French fry, thicker than a chip. Everything was super tasty and I love the Nola retro vibe of the dining room. The owner was great.

Every pizza here is true St. Louis-style: thin, cracker-like crust, topped with a unique Provel cheese blend, and cut into squares. We ordered the Francesca Pizza and swapped the seasonal berries for fresh garlic--an incredible choice. We also tried the fried green tomatoes, one of the daily specials, and I can honestly say they were the best I've ever had. The pizza was outstanding as well. Francesca has a neighborhood vibe--think local sports bar with a family-friendly feel. The service was warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. I'm already looking forward to going back and trying more of the menu and daily specials. Highly recommend!

I'd never even heard of the place, and after experiencing it, I honestly don't know how that's possible. We walked in to a packed house and got lucky, snagging two seats at the bar. We started with cocktails: the Hole Molé (Milagro Reposado, Ancho Reyes Verde, red pepper, lime, cocoa bitters) and the Charlotte (jalapeño infused vodka, Combier d'Orange, lemon, lime, strawberry). I loved my Hole Molé, but the Charlotte had a nice kick to it, like a spicy, refreshing fruit punch. Yum. We split a bowl of turtle soup. It was good, but not great; solid, though missing something we couldn't quite put our finger on. The sandwiches, on the other hand, were pure perfection. I had the duck pastrami with added Gruyere and Russian dressing on the side, and she had the meatloaf sandwich. More yum. Rosedales is a genuinely cool neighborhood spot with fantastic customer service. Staff and fellow diners alike were incredibly friendly. If I lived closer, I'd be a regular without question.
