gusto! Ponce - they're starting to add less food even though they've increased prices. this bowl is half full. i'm never eating at gusto again. - Salad Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I was in the Virginia Highland area, started to get hungry and passed Gusto. I looped back around and pulled into their parking lot, located behind the restaurant. The lot was huge, much bigger than expected. I entered, picked up a menu and stood in the fast moving line. By the time I reached the register, I decided on a Sweet Soy Sriracha bowl with grilled spicy chicken. The staff ringing up my meal, pointed me to the other end where I actually had to pay. I walked down and the food was ready pretty quickly. I packed up my food and headed to the outside patio area. I chose a covered high top and started digging in. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. Overall, this was a very good first visit to Gusto's Ponce De Leon location. Everybody was pleasant, the food was delicious and the indoor and outdoor spaces were clean. I would definitely come back. read more

The Chipotle mango bowl was so good. The signage is clear upon entering; you go one way to pick up and the opposite way to place an order. There are menus against the wall before walking to the order counter. Choose a sauce, a base, protein, and add-ons. I was asked to go to the next register to pay. My food was ready by the time I got there. All in all, the food was great and the service was quick. read more

The concept of healthy, customizable bowls is great, but the execution was just okay during my visit. My order took a bit longer than expected, and it wasn't as flavorful as I'd hoped. It's a fine place for a fast meal, but I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to eat here again.hair salon read more

Rating: (3/5) If you're craving something light, fast, and fresh while bouncing around Atlanta, Gusto! offers exactly that--and clearly has a loyal following to prove it. First Impressions & Ambiance: This place feels like the lovechild of fast-casual dining and wellness culture. Bright colors, clean branding, and a vibrant outdoor patio make it feel less like a fast food stop and more like a lifestyle hangout. There's definitely a cool, health-conscious vibe here--perfect for grabbing a quick bite or kicking back outside with some sunshine and good conversation. Service & Staff: The staff was attentive and polite, even with a rush happening. They greeted us with smiles and kept the line moving as efficiently as they could. You could tell they cared about keeping things smooth under pressure. Food & Drinks: I ordered the Tahini Cucumber Feta bowl with brown rice, grilled shrimp, and avocado, plus some ZenWTR to wash it down. The flavors were clean and balanced--not overly seasoned but not bland either. The tahini dressing was the standout, tying the whole bowl together nicely. And I was pleasantly surprised by the vegan feta--a thoughtful touch for those seeking plant-based options. Wait Time & Efficiency: The wait was a bit longer than expected, but to be fair, a whole softball team was in line ahead of us. Once we ordered, the food came out promptly. Gusto! handled the rush pretty well overall. Menu Variety & Dietary Options: This is where Gusto! shines. They clearly put thought into accommodating all kinds of dietary needs--vegan, gluten-free, low-carb, and more. With custom bowls, wraps, and add-ons, you can really make your meal your own. Price & Value: Considering the fresh ingredients and portion size, the value was solid. It felt like a fair trade-off for the price. I left satisfied but not sluggish, which is exactly what I wanted. Pros & Cons: Pros: * Clean, fresh ingredients * Outdoor seating and modern vibe * Great for dietary restrictions * Friendly staff Cons: * Wait time can spike with large groups * Food is good but not necessarily crave-worthy * Limited "wow factor" compared to other fast-casual options in this genre Final Thoughts: Gusto! delivers what it promises--fresh flavor fast. It hit the spot and quieted my hunger pains, but didn't quite leave a lasting impression. Still, I'd recommend it if you're nearby and want something light and customizable. Just don't be surprised if it doesn't blow you away. read more

One night, I ordered UberEats delivery from this Gusto, and the delivery driver accidentally left without one of my entrees. It was the sort of mistake that happens all the time with UberEats, and you usually just get your refund through the app and let it go. This time, the night manager at Gusto called me personally to tell me that my delivery driver had forgotten one of my entrees, apologized profusely, and offered to make it for me fresh if I could come get it. Not only did he make it fresh, he gave me extra toppings, a free drink, and two coupons. Most restaurants don't go to such effort to make something like that right. Oh, and the food was great! Thanks Rick! read more

Fresh food, wonderful flavors, and quick, excellent service are all part of the Gusto! experience. I typically order a half and half bowl (half rice and half salad greens) with one of the Asian flavored sauce options and spicy grilled chicken. I also love how each meal comes with a bag of sweet potato chips. During my most recent visit, I got a half and half bowl with the spicy sweet sriracha sauce. Delicious and very filling. read more

Healthy quick non greasy meal. The prep personnel are attentive with consistency in chopped veggies etc. The cookies are delicious.

This was an interesting place located near my Airbnb. I was staying in the area and wanted to take a break from ordering from the expensive Ponce Market. I already stopped by the Chipotle and Starbucks so I wanted to give Gusto a try. There were several great reviews so I went over. At first glance it seems to be very similar to Chipotle but more of a healthy variety. The restaurant is very nice and has lots of seating. They have great options such as Chipotle Mango Avocado, Sweet Soy Siracha, and Tahini Cucumber Feta. You can pick your base which is rice or a salad with your choice of protein. I ordered the Chipotle Mango Avocado with rice and salad. I wanted something sweet but not too spicy. It was a large bowl and was very filling. The rice was very tasty. They put a good portion of avocado as well which was great. I ate it all right away. I definitely want to come back here and try the other flavors as well. read more

WOW WOW WOW WOW!!! I rarely give 5 stars unless I'm really amazed, and I'm amazed! This place was sooo good. I'm middle eastern and have had plenty of Mediterranean food, but this place was so simple and filled with flavor. And wasn't expensive at all. I got the tahini cucumber feta and my husband got the tzatziki lemon with grilled chicken and both were delicious! I can eat here everyday that's how much I enjoyed it! And the sweet potato chips were soooooo tasty! I loved them! Parking was kind of tight but easy if you're just picking up to go read more

gusto! Ponce - Chile Sesame BBQ - Salad Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

My salad was alright. Not the best salad but ok in a pinch. I'd maybe try it again and get a different bowl.

I am a regular at this location and the staff, quality of the food, serving size, and cleanliness of the restaurant are consistently top notch! I am mainly writing to brag on the staff - today I was looking for a low-calorie option that fit into my diet plan, and the person that assisted me (I wish I knew their name) went above and beyond to explain all of my options. I was so grateful! I will be back tomorrow (and the next day) read more

After an evening of drinking I was hungry and tried to figure out something healthy close by on Ponce. I came on Yelp and saw that Gusto was less than a half a mile away and open for another hour. I was surprised to find that Gusto was a chain restaurant with several locations in Atlanta. Located in N Highlands off of busy Ponce Ave with a parking lot with plenty of parking in the back of the restaurant. When you walk in the menu is there on the wall and you can choose between greens, brown rice, half & half or a flat bread then you choose from the pre-set menu. I ordered the half & half Chipotle Mango Avocado. Smoky chipotle cream sauce with an avocado, mango, black bean, and corn salad tossed in a cilantro lime dressing, and topped with Jack cheese. I added the baby Bella mushrooms. Comes with sweet potato chips. It was pretty good I was hoping the Chipotle sauce would have been a little spicy but all and all good and the freshly made sweet potato chips hit the spot. I will be back. read more

I was working near this location and stopped in before I went home. I know the restaurant can not do anything about it, but there were a lot of homeless people in the area. Also there were not any parking spaces. There was a garage, but I did not want to pay just to pick up food real quick. However, the employees were very nice and professional. My food was really good, and the line worker even added extra toppings for me. For a quick meal, I'd definitely be back again. read more

Gusto is my go to healthy "fast casual" restaurant. I frequent the Chamblee location more but this one is close to my work and open until 10pm so I love being able to swing by after work. Service: it's fast casual but the employees working the counter are always very friendly and happy to answer any questions you have about their menu or provide recommendations. Food: LOVE LOVE LOVE their bowls. I honestly prefer them over CAVA any day. Also, they have SHRIMP here as a protein! They do not skimp on the portion size either. I usually get the half and half bowl (grain and greens) and their buffalo bowl with shrimp or chicken. You can't go wrong with any of their bowls though tbh. I've tried quite a few of them during their bogo free promotion a few months ago. If you can afford it, get the added grilled mushrooms and avocado! Their portion sizes are also generous and I can even sometimes make two meals out of the bowls. Definitely give it a try at any of their locations if you need a healthy lunch that's not just a boring salad! read more

If you love a good healthy bowl this is the place to go!!! I'm always searching for a good protein bowl. The ambience feels bright and welcoming. They have indoor and outdoor seating. I really loved how they have mouthwash in the bathroom. Definitely helps for a lunch date. I ordered the chipotle mango avocado with brown rice and spicy chicken. Everything was cooked perfectly and the spicy chicken was mouthwatering. Every meal comes with sweet potato chips. I also ordered a mango lemonade which was amazing. Every sip I was saying mmm. Lol. If you are on the beltline this is a great place to stop by and eat. read more

After a day of traveling, I was craving a nice light and refresh salad. Luckily gusto was just a couple of blocks from where I was staying. While it's a fast food type salad spot, the menu offers a great variety of healthy options. The outside area was perfect too for enjoying the warm weather night. Each order also comes with these delicious homemade sweet potato chips. Light, crispy and yummy! I was also super thrilled to try the CBD sparkling water from a Wisconsin owned spot. Made me feel right at home. read more

Protein portion is a joke! I have been eating at this location for a several years now and I was satisfied until today. I ordered a rice bowl with chicken and mushrooms. I can honestly say the chicken might have been about one tablespoon. This meal today also gave me diarrhea so I don't feel well after spending $16 on rice and mushrooms! I was discussing my dissatisfaction of my meal in a Uber ride shortly after my meal and ironically my passenger said the exact same thing about the portion size of the chicken! Needless to say I will never eat at your restaurant again. I guess all the expansion you all did you needed to cut costs and you did by robbing people of the portion size. Good luck with all of your locations because I'm done patronizing your business! read more

I wish there was a Gusto! In Orlando. My daughter introduced me to this restaurant awhile back and I have craved their bowls ever since. They have plenty of gluten free options for my allergy. Lots of fresh ingredients to choose from, interesting sauces (I love the chipotle mango avocado) and friendly staff. Also, their fresh limeade is delicious. read more

gusto! Ponce - Chipolte Chipotle Mango Avocado bowl - Salad Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

gusto! is great. I'm a fan of this chain and they've only improved since opening their original location in Brookwood Hills in October 2014. This location on Ponce De Leon Ave NE is the company's second location. It opened in July 2016 across from Dugan's and Hotel Clermont. I like gusto! because their food is healthy, delicious, and affordable, it's served quick, and service is typically good with a friendly staff. We need more restaurants like this. This gusto! is in its own freestanding building. It replaced a location of The Real Chow Baby (https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-real-chow-baby-atlanta-3). There's adequate free parking in the back and on the sides of the building, reserved for customers only. The space looks great. They've really opened up and modernized the place. There's plenty of seating inside and lots of patio seating outside. Inside and out, there's a mixture of regular tables and long bar-height tables. The inside has a snazzy buttoned banquette and the outside tables have umbrellas. The restaurant has a fun feel to it with bright colors (white and yellow) and colorful artwork and graphics. There's an open kitchen and the patio is string-lit. This is a fast-casual restaurant where you order and pay upfront. Everything is made-to-order in seconds and you pick up your order when checking out. The menu is simple. You choose a base (rice, greens, or half and half), protein (grilled chicken $9.15, spicy grilled chicken $9.15, grilled shrimp $11.95, grilled portabella $9.95), and "gusto" or flavor/ingredient combination that the restaurant has designed. Your gusto can be served in a bowl (common) or as a wrap (flatbread wrap). Across all the locations I've tried so far, I've yet to come across a gusto I didn't like. Each gusto comes with a bag of housemade sweet potato chips. They have a kids menu too. At this location, I tried the Chipotle Mango Avocado with spicy grilled chicken ($9.15) and the Chile Sesame BBQ with spicy grilled chicken ($9.15); both with half and half brown rice and mixed greens. I also tried a High Road Craft sugar cookie and mango ice cream sandwich ($4.95). They have a self-serve freezer next to the register with assorted pops from King of Pops and ice cream sandwiches from High Road Craft (two flavors available during my visit: chocolate and mango). Everything was fantastic. The Chipotle Mango Avocado came with avocado, mango, black bean, and corn salad tossed in a cilantro lime vinaigrette, topped with jack cheese, and served with smoky chipotle pepper cream sauce on the side. The Chile Sesame BBQ came with radish, cucumber, carrot, and jalapeno salad tossed in a sesame citrus vinaigrette, topped with cilantro, and served with spicy Korean chile BBQ sauce on the side. The bowls both looked and tasted fantastic. Very colorful and appetizing presentation with fresh and flavorful ingredients. The flavor combinations worked (they were quite tasty) and the bowls were filling and satisfying. The sweet potato chips are cooked in-house. They were good. Crispy, yummy, and not overly greasy. I noticed they serve the housemade chips at this location and the original location on Peachtree. However, the smaller West Midtown location serves gusto-brand sweet potato chips that look like they were made and packaged at an off-site facility. You get the fresher ones here. The High Road Craft ice cream sandwich was outstanding. If you want to treat yourself, it's worth it. The dessert was better than I expected and one of the best ice cream sandwiches I've had to date. Generous portion size and excellent quality. So good. Daniel at the register was very hospitable. gusto! uses the Square POS system so receipts are conveniently and automatically emailed to you once you're set up. I probably won't come back to this gusto! much because the West Midtown location is right around the corner from me. However, if I lived in the immediate area, I'd most likely be a regular. For fast-casual healthy food in Atlanta, this place is one of the best. read more

I got to try gusto! for the first time thanks to the Yelp event. I wrote a separate review for the event, but I figured I would also write a review about my food and experience here. I came in on a Friday evening (last week) and we already knew what we wanted to order. The employee working at the front taking our orders was trying to rush us and was being kind of rude. It was kind of jarring with that being our first interaction inside. I saw other reviews saying that the employee at the front was helpful and answering questions, but whoever was there that day was being kind of abrupt. When you come in, you order and they write it on their paper. Fortunately, the guy working the register was very nice and had no problems with ringing us up. I ordered the Chipotle Mango Avocado bowl with shrimp and half greens/half rice. I did sub the cheese on top. My bf also got the same gusto flavor and 1/2 & 1/2, but with chicken. So the chipotle sauce was so good. I scraped up even the last bit. I also loved the flavor of the shrimp, but my shrimp was cold, which was kind of a weird contrast with the warm rice. I loved the the flavor profile of this gusto. The mango, black bean corn salad, and avocado were really good. I would highly recommend this gusto. Bf liked his bowl too. The sweet potato chips are good as well. However, we felt the portions were a bit small as we could have eaten more. In addition, the main reason I had to take off stars was that the lettuce in my bowl was turning BROWN. A lot of the leaves, some of the edges were turning brown and some leaves were more brown. I picked those out and will attach photos. I was very disappointed because other people had said the greens here are very fresh. Overall, I do like the flavor of the bowl that I tried. Just some minor things that stop me from overall giving it more stars. This is a nice healthy option and it feels lighter than Chipotle. Also the parking lot in the back is great, but a bit tight. Be careful when going through because the cars passing each other were very close. A little disappointed but I wouldn't be against going back to gusto! again. read more

Gusto is amazing! The concept is pretty simple. You choose the following: Base Protein Sauce My personal favorite is the Chipotle Mango Avacado Bowl (half brown rice/half lettuce). The combination of flavor in this bowl is unparalleled. You get savory, spicy, and sweet , all in one. Gusto has sweet potato chips -- not too salty. When you first walk in, there's a menu displaying the options. You go to the counter and fill out a card to order. Then, you wait in line to pay while they make the bowl behind the counter. The line moves pretty fast, but every now and then they can get pretty backed up due to online/Food delivery orders. I think they should maybe have a second counter/assembly line for online orders. It's a nice, airy space with somewhat of a modern industrial look. They have a patio with string lights, right on Ponce. Update: They now have the nutritional menu online! read more

The vibe and ambiance was great. I loved the outdoor seating area. The menu choices all looked really good. I was very happy with my choice

Ambiance- bright , clean fast food look Service- self service , order your food and they will call out your name Food -7 different type of bowls with your choice of protein and one free bag of chips .

Definitely a 3.5 based on the make your own bowl I selected! Brown rice (usually not my fave but theirs is tasty), grilled chicky, jack cheese and avo (yayyy). My co-worker was sweet to treat me, so I can only guess that my lunch was a little under $10. She tried a wrap with feta (you can pick from one of their already created recipes) and enjoyed it- one note is it can be messy, so she ended up using her fork. It's right across the street from my office so I imagine being there often. Cute little patio outside that has nice shrubbery blocking enough of the Ponce traffic! read more

gusto! Ponce - Make your own with brown rice, chicken, avo and Jack cheese! - Salad Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I can easily say that Gusto! is becoming one of my favorite places to eat. Their food is so fresh and so flavorful. They have a pre-set menu of 5-6 options (which actually makes things so much easier) and at this point, i've had 3 of them and they've ALL been good. Their bowls are made of an assortment of different toppings and i'm not sure what it is, but it's the perfectttt combination on every bowl. Located super close to the new Kroger on Ponce (which i will refrain from calling it Murder Kroger, but we all know what it is), they surprisingly have a ton of parking in the back which is great! The inside has been closed due to COVID but they're outdoor area is adorable. They don't have a ton of seats, but we've been able to find seats everytime we go! read more

I love this location! The food is always fresh & fast. Customer service is awesome and they give great recommendations. And parking hasn't been an issue during the lunch hour, although the parking lot is not huge. I usually order the chicken bowl with chipotle mango avocado. However... I finally switched it up and ordered a flatbread wrap and it was DELICIOUS. Ordered the chicken flatbread wrap, 1/2 mixed greens, 1/2 brown rice, with the ginger lime peanut sauce and avocados. The chicken was so tender, flavorful and juicy! The wrap isn't too bready and has a nice texture. Surprisingly, the lime peanut sauce wasn't too heavy...there were a few chopped peanuts that gave it a good crunch. The avocados were amazing and definitely necessary. Pretty good size as well, even though it appears smaller in the picture.o read more

Tonight must've been a REALLY off night! I visited this location this evening to grab some dinner. A young woman I follow spoke really highly of this place, so I had to make sure to grab a bite while I was in Atlanta. Upon walking in, I liked how welcoming the restaurant felt, how simple the menu was, and how clean it was. Cool! Let's order some food. Ordering was really easy... 1/2 brown rice and 1/2 greens... protein... dish style. Went over to the cashier to pay and my food was ready right after I finished payment. Everything seems good up to this point, so I make my way to the car to zoom to my hotel 10 minutes away. Now! I've made it back to the hotel. After settling in, I unpack my dinner. First thing I notice, no greens! My order clearly says 1/2 and 1/2... sigh! Ok, I can still eat it I guess, but that really sucks. Next, I pour some sauce, take the first bite, a couple of pieces of hard undercooked rice gets caught in my teeth. Ouch and yuck! Alright.. let's take another bite for good luck... more hard rice! Now my appetite is ruined. It's so unappetizing to eat stale rice! Next I pop a sweet potato chip, those are stale too! Dang! I can't win with anything I received tonight. Now I've wasted money and will be going to sleep hungry. I'll probably give it another shot when I'm back in town at a different location, but this was a very disappointing experience. Gotta do better! read more

High quality fast food that delivers delicious food at a reasonable price. I cannot pin point how to describe the type of food as they offer a variety of flavors such as tahini, BBQ, chipotle, and more to enjoy with protein. It offers the ideal variety of options for picky eaters or larger groups. I couldn't decide which flavors or base to go with but ended up on the greens with chicken and tahini cucumber feta. Boy was it amazing! After a long day filled with food, this place is healthy and fresh and makes you feel at the optimal level of full. The chicken was cooked and seasoned very well and mixed with tahini created a yummy Mediterranean bowl. The meal was also served with sweet potato chips which I couldn't stop munching on the next day. Their interior is also very well decorated with murals, Christmas lights, and brightly colored seating. I sincerely enjoyed the ambiance and food and wish this was a fast food chain in other states besides Atlanta. read more
