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.

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.

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

Just in town for the weekend for a project and we ordered Gusto! delivery. I only got the Chile Sesame BBQ, but man was it good!! Perfect lunch portion with the rice & greens as a base. Love these crispy sweet potato chips too! Only docking a star for not sending enough forks and not a single napkin in our large order.

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.

I love Gusto's, I truly do. So I was happy to visit the new location on Ponce. They gave a good serving so I could eat my meal as two separate meals. I also really like the outdoor patio situation they have.

My biggest personality trait is only eating salads when someone else makes it and it costs me more money But no regrets from this spot - the salads always taste fresh and flavorful and don't make you feel like you're eating rabbit food!

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.

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.

The restaurant was noticeably unclean upon entry, with debris scattered around and an overall lack of upkeep that was hard to ignore. When I arrived to pick up my order, there was a cashier and two cooks present, yet there was little sense of urgency or attentiveness. The cashier appeared to be dealing with allergies, which is understandable, but the handling of it raised concerns. He was blowing his nose, spitting into a napkin, and eating Doritos while assisting me, and I did not observe any handwashing in between those actions and handling my order. Although I took the food since it had already been paid for, the quality did not meet expectations. After a few bites, it was clear I should have trusted my initial instinct and left. I genuinely hope this location takes steps to improve both cleanliness and food quality, as well as reinforce basic hygiene practices. These are foundational elements that make all the difference in a dining experience

It was sitting on the counter, but I guess the person who was at the counter did not read my name correctly. To his credit it was Samuel not Sam, but I feel like that should be something easily discernible the worst part and why I will never go back to this location is after being handed my food finally from a different attendant. The staff laughed in my face. It was the rudest interaction I've ever had at any fast food place in my life. I will call them in the morning to tell them about this. I'm OK with bad service slow service all that stuff but laughing at a customer's face is just beyond rude. Should be fired immediately. This happened at 10 PM on Tuesday, July 14

I know I know I know…read more I know it's a chain. Believe me, I have been on the 'local' train much longer (and much more vocally/visibly) than many others. I get it. And I know that Atlanta has many local businesses to patronize (I've reviewed a whole bunch of 'em). BUT. I was tired & hungry and in search of healthy, filling, reliable, GF food and I was unwilling to go 'round and 'round looking for it. So, Sweetgreen it was. I regret nothing. I am grateful that I didn't befall some of the annoyances other Yelpers write of. Everyone with whom I interacted was kind -- nice, even -- and professional. I took my food to go but had I eaten here, I would have been fine. The space was light, large, clean, and inviting. My food was made well and I got a good return on my financial investment. I went with the ever-popular Harvest Bowl and I was glad I did. I received a huge, well made (and mixed!) bowl of shredded (and massaged -- so it's not tough to chew, eat or digest) kale, wild rice, roasted sweet potatoes, roasted almonds, apples, goat cheese, and a very generous amount of tender roasted chicken (40g of protein!!) all tossed with balsamic vinaigrette. I paired my food with kombucha and leaned into my health kick.* With every bite my hunger lessened and I felt like I was empowering my body. Eating healthy(ish) is always a good choice and Sweetgreen is a reliable source of just that. Again, I am sorry to read that others have had a tough time at this location of late. On the mid-spring day I got food from here, it definitely hit the spot. *Earning the junk food pig out that was to come.

Came to Georgia and tried to order online, my order was supposed to be ready in 15 minutes, when I arrived to the restaurant there was a long line of people waiting for their orders for pick up. My order ended up taking 45 minutes to be ready and I saw people leaving without their orders because of the long wait. The service should definitely be improved, the two people working on the orders were super slow and not kind at all. The restaurant was empty and only Two people ordered in person while I was there, which doesn't explain why the online orders were so slow. The ambiance was ok.
