First time trying this Mendocino Farms location! It's conveniently located within The Shops at Arbor Trails square, which also means lots of parking spots available. We came by on a Saturday afternoon when it was starting to get busy -- fortunately we were able to snag a spot indoors. In terms of seating, the tables are probably best for smaller group sizes (2-4). Overall, the indoor space is bright, clean and refreshing. Pork Belly Banh Mi ($14.95, 4.5/5) - I'm a fan of ciabatta in general -- bonus since this one came panini pressed! - Good amount of pork belly - Cucumbers, daikon carrots, and jalapeño add a nice crunch/ kick to balance out the more creamy aioli sauces - Flavors were on point, just wish portion sizes were a bit larger All in all, definitely check out Mendocino Farms if you're in a sandwich mood! The ingredients are very fresh, and the prices are affordable. Looking forward to visiting again and trying other items on their menu. read more

Came by on a Sunday afternoon after a stop at Costco, and there were lots of people here. Nearly all the indoor seats were taken, but tables turned over pretty quickly since most people were just grabbing a quick lunch. Mendocino Farms always has such good, fresh, light sandwich options, so I was excited to try this one out. Parking is plentiful, and it's in a newer lot right next to a Snooze. Both feel like popular, high end fast casual chains popping up throughout Austin. Chimichurri Steak & Bacon Sandwich ($15.99, 6.5/10) - Portion size felt on the small side, after finishing the whole sandwich I was still hungry and could've easily eaten another half to feel full - Steak was relatively tender, thin sliced so it was easy to bite through - Chimichurri sauce was a bit more acidic than I'm used to, and the pickled veggies leaned acidic too, could've used something creamy to balance it all out - Bread was really good, and overall sandwich quality still felt high - Would've been nice to get a bag of chips included, given you're paying $15.99 for just the sandwich Overall, Mendocino Farms still brings high quality ingredients and good food. I've had another sandwich here in the past that I really enjoyed, so next time I'll probably switch it up and try something different. Good sign that the quality holds up across their different menu items. read more

Mendocino Farms - Chimichurri Steak & Bacon Sandwich ($15.99, 6.5/10) - Salad Near Me - Austin, Texas

LOVE this place. The portions are large, and the ingredients are so fresh. Took some out of town visitors here as our first stop which set the food bar high. Love how their food had lots of flavor, and there are options for different diets. I love the soup & sandwich combo - the soup was HUGE! Staff is always kind here, and the place feels very new. I like staring at the cows walking on the walls. Can get crowded on a weekend with lots of families here, but a great option read more

Fast service and fresh ingredients. But the turkey sandwich was a bit dry. I will try something else next time.

Ooooh Mendocino Farms boy have I missed you! Its hidden right around the corner from Costco and Whole foods. Do yourself and favor and eat here instead of whole paycheck. Ever since Amazon took over whole foods their deli and salads area are so meh, bland and not fresh. I used to live in Long Beach CA and I would go up to LA for work a few times a month. I would look forward to those days when my accounts would ask to pick up Mendocino farms for lunch. All the salads delish. Always the most in-season veggies, freshly made salad dressings and it was just all the things I LOVE and really miss being so land locked here in Central Texas. 8/10. Service- the culture vibes are here. Friendly, helpful, efficient 8/10 Restaurant-fun, clean, quirky as I remember it.. cows hanging on the ceiling. 9/10 Food- I had the Crispy Rice Salad with tofu. -And a large side of the couscous (I LOVE that couscous... its creamy, light, the texture is fun and its super as a side or adds a boost to any salad or sandwich). -the salad greens crisp, rice was an amazing crunch. -dressing was soo good! Umami yet bright and light -all the extra veggies at the peak of season. Just chefs kiss! Ps: LOVE how the dressing has its own "home" in the to-go container. -points taken off for the tofu.. it was SUPER salty. Not sure if that is always the way or it was just a bit heavy handed today. It was not edible (bummer). The salad and the large couscous lasted me 4 meals. They pack a LOT of salad in that to go container. Is it worth for "just a salad or sandwich" here. YES! You will realize how GREAT good high sourced veggies taste when you eat here. Im so glad there is a piece of Cali here in Austin! I haven't had this level of greens in over 3 yrs since moving to ATX. The seasonal teas looked amazing-thats for next time! Come try it for yourself. Do a date day, girlfriends lunch. Its just so yummy! read more

I had heard a lot of hype around this place before it opened. It seemed to get a lot of foot traffic when I'd drive by, so I ordered take out. An assortment of sandwiches and soups. The soup was great! Can't remember what sandwich I got. Went in last week to sit down and dine. Such a nice vibe! Super friendly staff. We ordered 1/2 combos, and were happy with our orders. My Farm Club was great! And the soup...still great. Excited to go back and try more items from the menu. Fresh taste, great textures and flavors. read more

After an intensive one-hour of exercise, I was starving. Well, not literally, but it felt like it at the moment. Mendocino Farms is about 3 minutes from my gym. I stopped by for the much touted Avocado and Quinoa salad (the only place I actually like quinoa). Everything about this salad is atypical. The salad is crunchy with enough textures to make every bite more interesting than the last. In addition, the salad is delicious from first to last bite. Yes, I ate the entire salad! Also, the salad dressing appears to be a hybrid of French dressing and balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Whatever the ingredients, the salad dressing is quite good. While Mendocino farms was busy, it was quiet enough that folks were speaking at normal volumes. Anthony, the manager, was helpful to answer some of my questions. Overall, chill vibe... I grabbed my salad to go. Although my salad traveled across town, it was still quite tasty when I arrived home. read more

Great spot for quick healthy lunch I love the farm sandwich - can come with gluten free bread if you need it too! The tomato basil soup is delicious - I like to do half sandwich and soup usually Service is great, quick and easy order at the front and they'll bring it out to you. Very clean inside and easy parking lot situation! The guava lemonade is also really good Only downside is pretty pricey but great ingredients read more

I complained last time about the waiting time during peak hours. I thought perhaps it was unfair, so today I came back during non-peak hours and I was the only customer. I still waited 15+ mins for my to-go order? It's just a sandwich, how "fresh" can you make it that it takes so long? read more

If you gotta have grease, stay out the kitchen. Cause you won't get it here Okay, so I'm shocked. I ordered the not so fried chicken sandwich with a potato salad and a cookie. I got the guava lemonade for my beverage. I expected my sandwich to be bigger. However, it was good and I didn't have to use my golden BBQ sauce. The sauce wasn't needed at all. The quality of the chicken was amazing. My potato salad was very good and flavorful. This is the best potato salad I've gotten at a restaurant and I'm a strict critic when it comes to potato salad. My chocolate chip cookie was just a cookie, I couldn't get it warmed. I love how no pops/sodas were present. The guava lemonade was amazinggg. Please sale a large jug of your housemade juices! Overall I enjoyed it. This is a good healthy lunch option! The service was really good as well. This location was busy and I still got my food in good timing. read more

We ordered the goat salad and a sandwich (forgot which one!). The ordering process went smoothly and pickup was quick and friendly. You just pick it up in the to-go section. We enjoyed the sandwich, but I preferred the salad. It was a good amount of food and very tasty! My only issue is the cost, it's on the pricey end. However, if you're in the area and looking for a sandwich or salad I think it's a solid choice. read more

Mendocino Farms - Goat salad - Salad Near Me - Austin, Texas

My friends from California told me that I HAD to try this chain that recently arrived in Austin, and man am I so glad I did! If you like Panera, you're going to absolutely LOVE this place -- it's like an elevated version of Panera that I didn't know I needed! I of course had to get the Chen's Crispy Rice Salad bowl (my last name is in the name of the salad haha) and don't let the takeout bowls mislead you...when you pour out the container, the portion size is much bigger than it looks lol. I did wish they were a bit more generous with the serving of chicken because the ratio was like 80% greens, 20% protein. Lastly, I tried their side of Spicy Curried Coucous because it sounded interesting and let me tell you...I don't like coucous but I sure did like this one haha! There is a nice spicy kick but the creamy curry flavor helped balance the spice in every bite. All in all, I will absolutely be back to try some other items on the menu! read more

Mendocino Farms - Chen's Crispy Rice Salad (top), Small Side of Spicy Curried Couscous (bottom) - Salad Near Me - Austin, Texas

Visiting Mendocino Farms feels like visiting a Trader Joe's- overall clean with very friendly and helpful staff. Which is also California based. This elevated sandwiches and salads restaurant is right off the 1 on W William Cannon. I have been here a couple of times and this location has consistently excellent service and food. Enter and turn left to order. I love their digital menus in front of the registers because squinting at menus on screens behind registers is so 2024. The menu is right sized- enough variation for all diets and doesn't overwhelm with too many choices. Staff wear their favorite dish on their name badges and are happy to share recommendations. The Baja salad and Thai mango salad are *chef's kiss* and my current favs. I don't even need the dressings. The happy hippie sandwich is a quite saucey if you get it to go, get extra napkins if you're a car eater. The vegan banh mi, while not served on a traditional baguette, is a damn.good.sandwich. The fountain lemonades and green drink are delightfully refreshing but very sugary. Two roomy restrooms are in the back right to wash your hands before eating. It gets busy here at lunch but you can order in advance for pick up to shorten your wait! I used a BOGO coupon in person once and appreciated how smooth and seamless it was to redeem. I literally just handed it to the person at the register. Excellent fast casual eats and vibes. read more

Mendocino Farms - Signature Mendos (blue cow mascot) and grass seating booth with booths and tall boys - Salad Near Me - Austin, Texas

Fresh, fast, and healthy - Mendocino Farms (MF) is my kind of quick service restaurant concept. While I'm a North Austinite, I often pass through this South Austin neighborhood on the way to the Hill Country, so I had to stop in and check out this first Texas location. MF does California-style sandwiches, wraps, and salads with highest quality seasonal produce and proteins. If you know, you know. The west coast does not mess around with their veggies; it's a feature, not an afterthought. Other offerings include flavorful sides, sauces, homemade agua frescas, juices, and fruit-teas. Their motto since 2005 is "Eat Happy" and they deliver on it if you like fresh, nourishing "real" food. Do yourself a favor and pre-order online. We had a free entree coupon ($11.40 value) after setting up a My Mendo member account earlier this month. It was easy-peasy to set up a group order, send the link to everyone, submit before leaving home, and saunter up past the 15 or so people in the line to grab our bag from the Online Order shelf system. We sat on the shaded patio to enjoy our delicious 1/2 sammy & side combos. Everything was just as wonderful as I'd hoped: tender, juicy slices of chicken breast, generous portions of juicy tomatoes, super flavorful spreads, fresh breads with excellent textures, and sides that were tasty enough to stand alone as entrees. That Greek Chicken Lemon Farro soup will be my go-to order forever. Indoor dining area has about 10-12 tables, most are 2-tops that can slide together to create space for a larger group. The patio has more 4-6 seat tables. There are 2 unisex restrooms. Decor is modern-industrial with pops of blue and green and lots of mascot cows. All around, a pleasant experience. Now I'm counting the days until the next location opens up closer to my office in November! A note on pricing: this place ain't cheap. MF has high standards for using clean, as-local-as-possible ingredients and they work with ethical suppliers who pay their workers fairly. All this translates to a higher pricepoint. Still, it stings to see a $3.15 charge for a single serving bag of chips - yikes! You can get discounts by signing up for an online account and taking advantage of $11.40 1/2 sandwich combos & other special deals.

Went to the soft launch at Mendocino Farms which is a family oriented restaurant that specializes in creative sandwiches, salads and more take you on an unexpected culinary adventure with fresh ingredients and fearless flavor combinations. Parking was plentiful and when you enter you can place an order and the counter. The service is very friendly and accommodating and they walk you through the ordering process. The food was prepared quickly and brought to the table. There was both inside and outside dining options. I tried the Thai Mango Salad with chicken mango, ramen noodles, pickled daikon & carrots, honey roasted almonds, napa cabbage, kale, romaine, baby spinach, carrots, bean sprouts, Thai basil, mint, cilantro, lime, crispy shallots, Thai almond dressing. The salad was so fresh with a bright flavor with all the fresh herbs and mango. I love their craft made beverages that include unique lemonades like guava and pomegranate and mint lemonade. I have joined their rewards program on the app and also had some to-go experiences here where I tried the Chen's Crispy Rice Salad with tofu, rainbow carrots, watermelon radish, cashews, crispy rice, wontons, scallion, cilantro, romaine, kale, spinach, red & green cabbage, miso sesame dressing. The salad was packed well and dressing on the side so it was fresh when I ate it to-go. I also ordered on the app for their buy one get one special for national sandwich day. I tried the "Not So Fried" Chicken with chicken, Mendo's krispies, mustard pickle slaw, tomatoes, pickled red onions, herb aioli, on toasted ciabatta with a side of golden BBQ sauce and Chicken Pesto Caprese with chicken, fresh mozzarella, marinated red peppers, basil pesto, mixed greens, balsamic, on panini-pressed ciabatta. The sandwiches were pack separately and had very good texture and flavors. Sometimes they get busy when ordering to go, but the manager was able to expedite my order. I have to say that I personally prefer the salads to the sandwiches. Overall a welcome addition to South Austin with food made with quality and whole ingredients. read more

First time here. Nice people, although they recently opened and service is a little slow. Half of a Prosciutto & Chicken sandwich & a cup of the Lemon Chicken & Farro soup. Everything was good. The crushed almonds were a little too sweet but overall the sandwich was good. Soup was great! They're new so everything is nice. Tables are a little too close together. read more

I was already a fan of Mendocino farms from my years in Houston's Rice Village. I always loved their sandwiches. I am now permanently back in Austin and as luck would have it Mendocino has a shop in my neighborhood. It's just meant to be! I love the Peruvian Steak sandwich and the Npt So Fried Chicken sandwich. I am absolutely addicted to the lemon farro chicken soup. It's so good. These days I mostly take the food to go and take it home. The ordering process on their website works great, the orders are always ready on time and well prepared. The restaurant dining space is clean and beautiful if you want to dine in. The staff always have a smile on their face, and are glad to see you. They really make the location shine with their good energy. I wish we had more options like Mendocino in our neighborhood. They are a gem. read more

So happy to see places like this come to SW Austin! The guy who helped me navigate my first time was really nice and sweet (I don't remember his name but his fave sandwich is the vegan bahn mi, so I will have to try it). The whole menu looks so fun and I can't wait to come back and try more of it. I went with the not fried chicken sandwich (1/2) and pesto salad, given the sandwiches do come in around 1k calories. It was just fantastic! the space looks really nice, good vibe, and friendly ppl. read more

The energy here is off the charts! You'd think it was a lunchtime rave seven days a week. Staff and management are hyper-aware and vigilant, determined to make sure that they make a good first impression. It's gratifying to get such personal attention and feel like they actually care. Even when the line is out the door, there are enough hands on deck that the wait is minimal, and orders start flying from the pass in minutes. To be honest, the food was a disappointment. I got the Avocado & Quinoa Superfood Ensalada minus cheese to make it vegan, but found that the crispy bits on top were inedibly hard, like chewing on fine aquarium gravel. When asked, they were gracious enough to remake the salad without... But then brought back an order covered in cheese. Take 3, and now it was missing the quinoa, but I didn't want to keep hassling them and was pretty hungry by then. They did graciously refund me in the end. As a young upstart from California, Mendocino Farms has a lot to prove to break into the fickle Texas food scene. I'll back... But maybe I'll try a sandwich next time. read more

Mendocino Farms - Salad Near Me - Austin, Texas

I've recently heard a lot about Mendocino Farms and didn't realize it was so popular! It's basically an elevated Panera, with mostly sandwiches, wraps, and salads on the menu. The inside was a lot smaller than I expected, and there was limited seating. Everyone that worked there was so friendly and attentive! Turkey avo salsa verde: 10/10 Tasted fresh and I could actually tell that the quality of ingredients was top tier. The salsa was decently spicy which I appreciated. The sandwich was honestly pretty big too and I was super satisfied after. I also tried the guava lemonade which I enjoyed, great guava flavor but a bit too sweet for me. I think this is a great spot, but I would probably wait until the hype dies down a bit. read more

It was so exciting to be the first customer at the Mendocino Farms soft launch event. The entire staff was so welcoming; they even sang us a song! General Manager Sara D. was super friendly. Her badge said Thai Mango Salad, her favorite, and that was enough to suggest the same for my order. They offered a free entree to celebrate the opening. I chose the Thai Mango salad. There was a choice of chicken or tofu as protein; I chose tofu. The salad included mango, ramen noodles, pickled daikon & carrots, honey roasted almonds, napa cabbage, kale, romaine, baby spinach, carrots, bean sprouts, Thai basil, mint, cilantro, lime, crispy shallots. The Thai almond dressing complimented perfectly! I chose to eliminate the ramen noodles. The Thai basil, mint, cilantro and lime flavors were heavenly, and the almonds, cabbage, and carrots provided crunch to the salad. The salad was just so yummy! I will definitely order it again. The entire experience was fun, and Mendocino Farms will be a great addition to the Arbor Trails area. read more

Absolutely love Mendocino farms! I'm obsessed with their salads and every time we order from here for bloom their service is super quick and everyone is super lovely! I am super happy that they added a William cannon location and that I have one now super close to home it's incredibly convenient!! I've also seen my coworkers get sandwiches from here and everyone always love all their food. Super excited for the opening near my house! Very casual quick stop for a healthy but yummy meal! Gives Panera vibes lol read more

This was my first in person experience. Have had the leftovers brought home my the wife and daughter and was even better fresh. Had the Parm Chicken Dip sandwich. Chicken was very moist and all the ingredients were freshly made. Sesame seed roll was good, but might see if I can get a substitute roll next time. Very well lit and relaxing while waiting on our order. The real treat though was the pomegranate mint lemonade. Not a combination I would have ever thought of but boy was it very refreshing. Three refills before the forth leaving after eating. Will definitely go back. read more

I am highly impressed with the front of staff head here. I had ordered online with a pickup time of around 1:15pm. I arrived at 1:15 promptly to see that it was extremely busy. I check the pickup shelf and my order isn't there. Many to go people seem to be awaiting their orders and many seated patrons are also awaiting their food. Every seat is occupied, indoors and outdoors, and there are even more people waiting outside for seats. What I appreciated, was they had enough staff for someone to inquire about my name/order to check on it as soon as I walked in and the lady checked in on me again in about 10 minutes. The second time the lady assured me they were sorry for the delay and offered me a cup to try their lemonade. She asked the name of everyone waiting for their order and hand delivered it to the right person when it was ready rather than just chucking it on the shelf despite how busy they were. I also heard her going around to tables and checking on them. It's just nice to see such a level of care at a fast casual type place. My favorite thing here is the not so fried chicken sandwich. It's so delicious and I like it significantly more than the Local foods crunchy chicken sandwich. read more

Mendocino farms is one of my favorite fast causal chains in the country! The quality of the ingredients are amazing and the sauces that accompany their sandwiches are really flavorful! My favorite sandwiches are the Peruvian steak and the Mary's not so Fried chicken. I also got the potato salad which was refreshing and perfect compliment to the sandwiches. Since it was their grand opening, the staff were incredibly helpful and even gave us a free drink due to the wait! I will definitely return! read more

I was in the mood to try something new and remembered seeing that this place had just opened. I'd also signed up on their website for a free entrée, so I figured why not give it a shot. When I got there, the place was packed -- always a good sign! I had to park across the way, but went in anyway, even though I'm not big on crowds or waiting. There were a ton of people working behind the counter and helping everyone in line. One of the staff handed me a menu, and when I told her I had a free entrée but couldn't find it in the app, she said to just use my phone number when I ordered. Super nice and easy. I grabbed a bag of BBQ chips (you had to buy something to get the free entrée) and ordered the Chicken Parm Sandwich. Everyone there was friendly and really hustling, so I left a nice tip -- which I don't usually do at self-serve places. Took the sandwich home, and it was awesome. Not your usual Chicken Parm -- it had sliced chicken, some extra toppings, and a little bit of spice. Really tasty. My wife tried a bite and thought it was great too. The chips weren't my favorite (odd flavor), but I still ate them all. The sandwich was about $14.99, which isn't cheap, but honestly with fast food meals hitting $10+, I don't mind paying a bit more for something that's actually worth it. The menu has a lot of interesting options and some great-looking salads too -- perfect for my wife, who's a big salad fan. Overall, really glad this place opened. Great food, nice people, and good vibes. I'll definitely be back soon. read more

We were lucky to be part of the soft opening of this location! We had the Seasonal GOAT salad with pink lady apples which was nicely tossed with a flavorful dressing and a scoop of goat cheese. It was very good. The kiddie meal of a grilled cheese sandwich came with Grannie Smith apple slices and our toddler managed to eat half of the large sandwich. Hubby had a Chen's Crispy Rice salad which had nice Asian flavors and though he didn't plan to eat the whole thing, he did! We were checked on frequently by the staff and they are a friendly bunch! The weather was lovely on the outside seating area. We will definitely be back to this place! read more

Imagine you are home and have the nourishing fresh ingredients at their peak freshness and preparedness... and then with you make yourself a sandwich and fall salad with a well thought out recipe. I'm not gonna lie when I got the direct mail for Mendocino Farms I wasn't sure what they were claiming. Actually I was unclear what they were trying to say. Also, the cow is questionable, especially since I didn't eat any beef... should I have? Any way they do make some integrity claims on their ingredients and that you can go on a culinary adventure and that your food experience should be joyful. For me, I appreciated some small details that made eating in a good experience. I got half a sandwich (The Farm Club) and half salad (Kale and Apple Rainbow Salad) EVERYTHING was so good ESPECIALLY the salad and Guava Lemonade. I think they put cocaine in the Guava Lemonade. I'm not going to lie, it has a lot of sugar and I didn't put ice because it comes out of the machine cold but it's addictive in a way that I haven't experienced since chik fil a lemonade. I warned you and if you are watching your sugar, be careful. The sandwich, although pretty basic considering some of the options I could have chosen was so balanced and fresh. The bread was super seaded and soft, the turkey and bacon were not loaded with salt and the pickled onions added a nice touch of acidity with the tomatoes. It was just a really well made sandwich with thoughtful ingredients. The salad had to be the best thing I've tasted in a long time, especially for a salad. I thought it would be overly sweet with the cranberry and apple but it was not. It was tart and lemony and the basil and lemon were super bright. It had amazing texture and crunch and the kale looked massaged. When you order a side you can a small (which is what I got) or a medium and I immediately wished I got a medium lol. This would have been an awesome meal if you just add some chicken. The weather was great so a lot of folks were sitting outside. I saw they have a pickup wall for both customers and another for food delivery apps like DoorDash. If you are sitting on the bench along the wall inside they had nice back cushions. If you want to eat at a table you scan the QR code on the table and enter your receipt number so they can bring you your food. You can get strawless cup lids or straws if you want. The drinks are made there and looked like great flavor combos. They tell you the calories for the meal if that helps you make good decisions. I'll be back, it was already hard to order because I wanted to try more stuff. The manager came out and told me how they make the salad and I really appreciated him checking on me. He popped out and checked on peoples orders and it's always a nice touch when they do that. read more

Wow. This is the convenient farm to table food Austin has been needing. I ordered the modern Caesar with chicken to go and it's my new favorite salad. I usually take dressing on the side because I don't like too much but I had them toss it in and it was perfect. The quinoa adds a perfect crunch. Love the salads at MF. A happy hour with Mendocino wine and apps would be fun. The staff couldn't be better! read more

They were very timely and the food was delicious. I sat with five other people, indoors. I would prefer the outdoor seating, but it was full. A couple of us had wraps, I had the avocado quinoa salad.

Mendocino farms brings their fresh California flair to downtown Austin! We went during their soft opening, and things were very smooth. You order at the counter and associate your order number with your table using a QR code, so they know where to drop the food. My partner is vegan, and said the Tofu Banh Mi was fresh and the better of the vegetarian options (in his opinion). The Chicken Pesto Caprese sandwich was perfectly balanced, and the potato salad side was mustardy and delicious. The fresh lemonades, guava and pomegranate being standouts, were highlights of the meal! read more
