Love this place. We became such great Sunday regulars that they knew us by name. A great family and so thankful to have an organic place to eat in El Cajon! read more

The Thai Salad is to die for!! It has a minty, sweet and sour taste- it's amazing! I've also had the grilled veggie sandwich which was also delicious. The chips are amazing and the bread is so so good!! There is quite of a waiting time to order (bc it's busy most of the time) but you get your food fast. 10/10, go now! read more

Always delicious and never disappoints! The steak and salmon are some of my favs and the Brussels sprouts are also delicious. They have family meals and kids meals so it's a win for everyone. We love this place! The service is amazing and everyone is always so friendly! read more

Food was very tasty and cleanliness was on point only reason im giving 4stars is because of the employees i interacted with, not the best customer service...but the salad!!! Avo-cabbo is what i got no croutons with cheddar cheese!! read more

I took my Grandma here for lunch because it's in her neighborhood and it had fantastic reviews. I loved my meal and it looked like everyone else did too. There were super long lines. If you are familiar with the restaurant Tender Greens, it's the same type of restaurant. You wait in line along their prep/cook stations where you can see a lot of their offerings being made and then go find a seat. If it was closer, I would definitely frequent Crafted Greens! read more

Good food. Awesome service. Beyond awesome. The kind of food you feel good after eating. My favorites are the tomato soup, brussel sprouts, and the steak sandwich. Very reasonably priced. read more

Just picked up an order from here. The frequent this place at least once a month. The steak is always delicious as usual, and mashed potatoes as well. This time the Mac and cheese was a little bit strange. It was extremely dry on top and watery towards the bottom of the bowl. Maybe just a fluke but extremely disappointed cause it's not what I'm used to from this place read more

I ordered a grilled veggie sandwich for lunch and it was AMAZING! I ordered a kale Cesar salad with ahi tuna for later and it was also amazing. I ordered a kale Cesar with chicken for my husband for his lunch the next day. My husband is very picking and he LOVED it. The service is amazing and for making everything fresh, the food came out in a timely manner. Great service and great food!!! read more

Best healthy food in El Cajon. Love their salads - Mediterranean is my favorite! The staff is friendly. The food is always freshly prepared to order. read more

My new favorite place!!! Staff are friendly and helpful. Delicious food!!! The steak was amazing and love the Brussels sprouts! I will definitely be returning with friends. read more

Amazing, health food in El Cajon?! Who would have thought? The owner is super nice and welcoming and the employees are friendly and helpful! The food is always fresh and they are always willing to sub out food and customize your order! This is one of our new favorite restaurants in East County! read more

I was beyond happy when I saw this restaurant was coming to my neighborhood! Thank you crafted greens for giving EC some serious foodie love! The owner himself is always in the kitchen greeting everyone with a hello, nice to see you, he's so welcoming and has made so many of us regulars coming back for more! His staff is so friendly and hospitable! The food is so fresh and delicious, the menu has many GF options! read more

Absolutely wonderful gourmet-grade food in a casual atmosphere. The strong suit is the veggies. However, I am completely addicted to the Chimichurri sandwich. read more

We have been ordering from here AT LEAST once a week lately. Everything is so delicious and fresh! Favorites are the chicken club and the steak with sweet potatoes & Brussels sprouts. Salmon is tasty too. Salads are great. The gluten free bread is delicious. Love the stubborn sodas. Blueberry lemonade was my fav in summer. Chips are the best. One day we hope to go in person (we have been dining a lot through UberEats this year) but we are happy to continue to give lots of business through the next stay at home order. Great options for when you're gluten free and/or vegan. Do wish they had a few more sweets marked that way but it's probably a good thing they don't haha. Wish we could sub chips with veggies for an added cost on sandwiches for those days we are trying to be even healthier... till then I'll have to enjoy this chips. Honestly, everything has been sooo tasty. Highly recommend! read more

The salads are amazing here. Great protein options as well. I always get the seared ahi. The portions are huge, so can easily be two meals.

My kids and I LOVE coming here.. their dood is so healthy tasty and delicious.. my fave dish is the salmon plate.. my boys always get the chicken club sandwich l.. you won't be disappointed read more

My absolute FAV my buddies and I always come here to grab something to eat. Plus its all natural. Bianca the cashier/owner is soo sweet

Best nicoise salad I've ever had. I'm sure everything else is amazing but I always get this salad.

Tried this place with a friend for lunch recently and really enjoyed it. Excellent, healthy food with a good variety of creative menu options. Great food and value. Will definitely head back in to explore the menu some more. read more

Simply the best! Amazing service Amazing food! You really can't get better than that oh and not to mention super reasonably price for what it is. read more

Love the organic farm to table feel. The seating is limited but comfortable. I ordered the guacamole greens and a cup of tomato bisque. The soup had good flavor and was hot, the salad was large and made with a nice spring mix. It included beans, tortilla strips, corn, pico and cheese. The dressing was tasty. My only complaint is the small amount of avocado. For a salad called "guacamole" it lacked in the avocado department. The manager was very attentive and staff were all prompt and friendly. read more

On the way to meet with our attorney the other day, my daughter and I dropped in to Crafted Greens (CG) in El Cajon, CA. We used to live in the area back in the 1980's and are well familiar with the many restaurants located along busy 2nd St. (with turns into Jamacha Rd. as one crosses Main St.). Although, I believe that CG is a relative newcomer. We both had the Asian salad. My daughter had the added Cajun seared Ahi Tuna "extra protein". I had the same salad with the Grilled Free Range Chicken extra protein. We both agreed. These where two of the best salads we have ever had! The temperature of the greens was just right. The crispness was just right. Both the chicken and the tuna were cooked to perfection! A bonus is that this restaurant uses only California-grown, organic ingredients in their food. They even print on their take-out menus where the "greens" are grown in California! As for the service? I mean, "service" is an important part of the restaurant experience. We both agreed, the service was outstanding! We don't know who the gentleman was (either the manager or owner), but he came around during our meal and asked us how everything was. The other two CG employees we also had contact with were outstanding. The service was what it should be. We felt appreciated, valued, and catered to--something that is elusive nowadays in the majority of restaurants. Service doesn't get much better than what we experienced at CG! Oh! The restrooms were also first-rate; clean and well-stocked! We both agreed, we are going to make CG one of our regular "rounds" stops when in the area. I highly recommended Crafted Greens! You won't be disappointed! They have an online web site: www.craftedgreens.com read more

This place is my favorite restaurant to eat in El Cajon the service is amazing and the food is always better than the last. The environment is very clean and well kept. I would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone that is looking for a healthy yet delicious option. read more

This is my first time at CG and I'm happy I found this gem by my work...I will call ahead next time because that line at 1210pm was ridiculous...but I can see why :) I had the spicy Asian salad with ahi tuna and it was amazing...portion was appropriate for the price $12 and for what you're getting...maybe next time I'll get a salad to split and a small soup on the side...Also THe roasted brussel sprouts smelled Soo good (I haven't tried them yet but I will) very happy to have this place around! read more

This place is always amazing! I came in today and they were super busy but they helped me right away and got my order out fast. The owner took time to say hello and talk to me. He's always so friendly and the food is very delicious. Thank you guys for your hard work during these weird times!! read more

The best food ever I love it fresh and organic try the stake with rosetted potatoes and quinoa salad

Love this place! Great menu of healthy options. I haven't had anything I don't like. Salads are fresh and delicious and so is the chicken dinner. They have a good selection of sides too. This is an order at the counter and find a seat kind of place. If you plan to eat there, it can sometimes be difficult to find seating and they don't serve beer or wine. Regardless, it is worth it read more

What a delightful discovery! Here we thought we'd have few if any choices for healthy dining in El Cajon. I ordered the Avo-Cobbo Salad, with chicken on the side. Quite yummy, with plenty of bacon and blue cheese. My friend ordered the chicken plate, with mashed potatoes and roasted Brussels sprouts as the sides (both sides were so delish I kept cadging bites). The service was friendly, fast, and attentive. We will definitely return to try some other things on the menu. read more

We are so lucky to have found Crafted Greens!! We have had Uber eats deliver twice now and I must say this is the best food we have had from a restaurant in ages!!! Simple and fresh with smart size portions, the flavor jumps off of the plate. The Beet salad with walnuts is a treat but really everything I have tried from my wife's or my plate has been excellent. The Thai Salad deserves an award for it's explosive flavor and fresh, perfectly prepared ingredients. Dessert is an exclamation point that finishes this wonderfully created sentence. The carrot cake may have been the best I have ever tasted. Thank you Crafted Greens!!! We look forward to many years of faithful patronage! read more

One of my favorite places to eat! You can absolutely tell that care and pride are put into their food. Everything is delicious! Their steak is so tender! The owner is very welcoming and the staff is attentive. Going back for more read more

Definitely love love loveeee this place! Their employees are all super sweet & their food just melts in your mouth! I love how it's extremely healthy and proportioned! I've for sure become a regular customer! read more

Every week our company picks a local restaurant to cater in lunch. Crafted Greens was the clear choice two weeks in a row. They prepared meals for 30+ and drinks for many of those 30+ and had them named and organized. They were on time and Bianca was so courteous. read more

I LOVE this place! Their veggie sandwich is my absolute fav. The owner is the nicest guy and always makes me feel so welcomed when I walk I. :) read more

Holy Cow!! We just grazed through half the menu and each new bite was better than the previous ones. So fun to have healthy options that are affordable and incredibly fresh. The staff leads with can do joy. Really enjoyed the experience. read more

The food looked really good but once I got it, It was just ok. Before I even ordered the food I was really put off by the cashier who's entire mouth was covered in cold sores. read more
