    Polo Picante
    Nishant N.

    We were looking for morning breakfast salad and decided to have breakfast at Crunch Bistro. It is a small cafe with the variety of salad options. From the salad options available we ordered Polo Picante, Custom made salad and homemade banana pudding. We ordered the food at the counter and got the food in 5 minutes. The salad was amazing. Loved its taste. It was fresh and all the ingredients were tasty as well as delicious. The homemade banana pudding was tasty as well as delicious. One of the best pudding I ever had and do try their pudding as it is one of the best puddings.

    Idk if it's just me but after a workout, I have 3.5 seconds to find something healthy before temptation wins me over! Found this place on Yelp and fell in love! Healthy and filling! Can't beat the price! The only issue is that it is downtown so their hours of operations are standard 9-5 Mon-Fri which kind of sucks. Overall I love love love this place and always feel good about refueling my body here! You can turn any wrap into a salad and any salad into a wrap! I recommend the turkey, bacon club (extra bacon of course!)

    Checking out the new spot before their grand opening tomorrow (4/11)!

    Great new spot in uptown for healthy eats! On my first visit, I had the cilantro chicken quinoa bowl but added jalapeños, onions and mushrooms. I'm happy I added the jalapeños especially as I like spice/heat and think the bowl would have been just a little bland without them. Service was super friendly on my visit and all the food was incredibly fresh and colorful! Prices were reasonable. Not much on the menu over $10. I can't wait to get back and try the lavash flat breads. Healthy pizza?! Sign. Me. Up! Again, SO excited to have a spot for fresh, healthy food in uptown. Fun that they offer breakfast in addition to lunch! I hope they do a good enough business to extend their evening hours. (Right now, they close at 5pm. I'd love to see them stay open until 6:30pm or 7:00pm.) It would be so nice to have a healthy option to stop in for a salad, grain bowl or lavash flatbread/wrap before evening shows at Blumenthal.

    My goodness, I love this place! The food, the atmosphere, it's amazing!!! Try them out today, you won't be disappointed.

    The veggie wrap - ok...
    Yulu H.

    Thought it would be a good salad/wrap place as I saw a lot of ppl waiting in line but I was disappointed. I got the veggie wrap - though it was freshly made everything inside tasted almost frozen cold. The cilantro dressing wasn't that tasty either. Half an hour after the meal I felt nauseous which made me doubt the freshness of the ingredients.

    Breakfast parfait with camu camu, blueberries, almonds and chia.  Coffee machine dispenses all the espresso options

    I came for breakfast and was pleased. It is a good place for healthy choices. Portions are ample but not so large that they make you overfull. Coffee is pick-your-own from an automated espresso machine. I had an Americano and it was better than I hoped when I saw the arrangement. They have 3 yogurt bases; my Navi parfait yogurt had camu camu added, and a nice portion of fresh almonds and chia seeds. I look forward to coming again.

    I've been coming here for lunch on a regular basis for the past several months and recently started putting pepperoni on my salad (listed as one of the basic toppings). I was extremely displeased yesterday when the cashier told me he didn't charge me $1 extra for adding pepperoni to my salad but he's going to have to charge me next time. I was confused why he would charge me at all considering it was 1 of 3 basic toppings (pepperoni, Mozzarella, and cucumbers) I selected and I'm supposedly allowed 4 before being charged $0.49 for an additional topping per their custom slip. Won't be coming back here anymore if I get charged extra for something they list as a basic topping.

The chicken was juicy and lemony; the vegetables were all PERFECTLY roasted and tossed in a variety of seasonings. The carrots were really standout, with a creamy feta sauce and tons of fresh dill.

During my most recent visit, I spent nearly an hour watching a staff member greet and check on every table in my section except mine. She made eye contact with me several times but never acknowledged me or asked if I needed anything. Being completely overlooked while everyone around me received attentive service was frustrating and made me feel unwelcome. I brought my concerns to the manager, hoping the issue would be taken seriously. Instead, I felt that excuses were made for the staff member's behavior rather than acknowledging my experience. That response left me with the impression that this type of service is acceptable and that the issue is unlikely to be addressed. That's disappointing because the food and atmosphere are genuinely enjoyable, but good service should be part of the overall experience as well.

    My girlfriend and I stopped by Salata in South End on the way out of town for a birthday Airbnb…read moretrip and thought the place looked great inside. The space is bright, clean, and feels like a nice addition to the neighborhood. The biggest downside was the parking situation which is obviously more of a South End issue than a Salata issue, but it definitely made the quick stop feel less convenient than we expected. The ordering flow was also a little awkward... after building your order you end up waiting at the register while the food is assembled, which slowed things down more than it needed to. Food-wise, my wrap ended up being really good but there wasn't an option for a plain wrap, so I went with the cucumber wrap instead of whole wheat and it actually worked out great. Overall, it was a good meal, but if I'm choosing between salad spots in Charlotte I'd probably lean toward Chopt most of the time.

The pesto chicken looked great too, but I wanted a little heat. I love their options and that you get the cute lil croissant with the salad. I had the ginger lime vinaigrette and REALLY enjoyed this salad.

    Came to CAVA for the first time ever yesterday…read more What surprised me first is that their menu boards were printed soooo tiny that it wasn't until it was my turn in line that I was even able to read what their offerings were. And with a growing line of people behind me, I felt pressured to make a quick, game time decision. I opted for a BYO bowl but was disappointed that they were out of things I really wanted to get like the black lentils and grilled steak. Which I thought was odd for 7PM on a Tuesday. The cashiers were nice enough to give me a sample of their braised lamb which was everything I wanted: tender, a little salty, downright sinful. I also opted to get their seasonal beverage: the Pineapple-Apple beverage and it was freaking delicious. Sweet without being too sweet, just the way I like it. All-n-all, I enjoyed my meal, but with so many competitors like Yafo, Ilios, Zoe's, Sabor, Chipotle, I'm not so sure that CAVA is unique enough to keep me coming back more often without an incentive.

I don't usually consider them for meals but every now and then when I am craving something sweet they hit the spot! Vitality Bowls is a chain originating out west that now has a home in Southend Charlotte at the Railyard development. Since my office is nearby, some coworkers and I decided to order ahead and walk over to enjoy our bowls. In addition to açaí bowls they offer sandwiches, wraps, smoothies, and other types of bowl/salads. The server was friendly and our food was ready and packaged to go when we arrived. I decided to go with the Nutty Bowl. No I admit I am somewhat of a novice when it comes to açaí bowls, but in the past when I get them, they usually come with a lot of toppings and drizzle that not only adds to the flavors and presentation, but makes the bowl more filling and dense. The bowl I received was perfectly tasty, it just felt a little bit underwhelming and underdone. It was light on the toppings and seemed like it was tossed together quickly. Now the simple explanation could be that since we made a larger order ahead of time the person making them may have been under pressure to finish each one faster before moving on to the next. I certainly want to go back by myself and order in the store to see how the bowl compares. I really did enjoy the blend they used for the base of the bowl and I can tell it was made using fresh ingredients. For what it's worth my coworkers all enjoyed their sandwiches as well. I will have to give it another shot

So some bites had more jalapeño than others and was extremely hot. It's a thinner crust, which everyone seems to love, but the crust itself was chewy and hard. (I got it normal - not extra crispy or cooked) It had good flavors and the dill ranch is perfect for dipping.... but I will add that my friend had gotten it before and forgotten she had tried it.
