    Chipotle Mango Avocado - the most popular dish, according to the cashier. So good
    Erica J.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

We came here for a birthday dinner celebration and we met with great customer service and a lovely atmosphere. There was a jazz trio performing, and the ambience of the restaurant was great. We were seated in an area that had a lot of traffic so some of us were bumped multiple times by servers, food going over our heads, people swinging their jackets, it just seemed as if the tables were a bit too close together. The food. We ordered the shrimp appetizer, the fried green tomatoes, and the pork belly. All of these were delicious, though we did feel like the tomatoes could've been a little crispy. The Carolina gold sauce on the pork belly was a nice tangy combination with the protein, and the shrimp had a surprisingly good sauce. The issue that we fell into with two urban licks were the mains ... We felt that the rotisserie chicken was a bit dry, and flavor was confusing as it was presenting as tandoori, but had an underlying flavor we just couldn't get into. The market fish on the menu for the day was a red snapper, and it didn't come with any sides, but it seemed like the fish was simply fried in the oil and it didn't have any seasoning or underlying flavor which we were disappointed in. The Hawaiian wahoo fish was a bit overcooked, and the "jerk" short ribs leaned more habanero salsa in the taste. The coconut rice and peas that went along with it was also dry, without coconut taste, and missed the mark for us. We are Caribbean and this was a disappointment to experience. The description on the page oversold it just a bit. We were able to call the manager, and they removed the chicken dish from our bill and took half of the final price of the short rib from our bill as well, and that was appreciated! Looking around the restaurant, it seemed like everyone was enjoying their meal, though we could never know what conversations were being had at those tables, and it just seems like this restaurant was not for us personally! Great service, but due to the food, we don't plan to return

The second night, the bartenders were affable, though less attentive, and not as talented. I will say that their martinis are creative and vast. The Supper Club with the dry umami vermouth, the anchovy stuffed olives. I don't even like olives and I liked this martini. The PV Freezer, made with vodka, bordiga white and extra dry, citrus bitters, and ice, was a great palate cleanser. My favorite was the Dragon Painter, made with curaçao, roku gin, soju, and lime. This is where the inconsistency comes in (aside from the lag in service). The one I had on day one was literally amazing. The second was one I wouldn't try again with the same bartender. An encounter that backs up this assertion: the bartender from the day before stopped and asked me which I preferred, and she was not surprised when I told her that her drink was much better. Food is more on the American bistro/bar food scale and includes: truffle fries, burrata, tuna & avocado crudo, tartare, calamari, artichoke dip. Salads and soups. Short ribs, French dips, corn risotto, grilled salmon, black cod, crab cakes, steak of various kinds, chops, chicken, burgers. Something for everyone. Overall, a good pick from Ponce City Market.
