    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.

    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.
