The food is also bomb!! The first meal I got from them was pulled pork with some veggie sides. It was sooo flavorful and delicious and still a decent temp considering the delivery aspect. The second meal I got from them was a classic meatloaf with mashed potatoes and garlicky kale. Bountiful makes such rich food and it was a delight having homemade comfort food delivered to my doorstep. I look forward to getting the Bountiful menu each week and highly recommend y'all check it out!

I can't tell you how many times I give my order and tell them what I'm allergic to, and every…read moresingle time they don't listen and they put it on the plate. I know it's the guys behind the grill that apparently don't see the notes or can't read or only look in a very specific small spot on the ticket for your order and any other notes just does not exist. One day they're going to kill somebody. Is ignorance bliss? It's not gonna be me because I'm not coming back you lost two customers today. PS the meat was overcooked. The vegetables were burnt, and the red sauce was so thinned out. It was like eating Campbell soup vegetable broth. But did have a good flavor.

Sweetgreen is that reliable national chain for healthy salad and grain bowls, where you can either…read morepick one of their chef-designed creations or fully customize your own. We almost always opt to order online for pickup, which is quick and convenient. The meals are reasonably priced for the portions you get, delivering exactly what you'd expect from a quality fast-casual salad spot. We're creatures of habit and always build our own bowl. The ingredients are consistently fresh, the combinations work well together, and their dressings are tasty and really tie everything together. It's a consistently decent, no-surprises place to grab a satisfying and healthy meal in the area.

This can be a decent place for a salad or healthy bowl. But today it felt like they were…read moreshort-staffed at lunch. Two employees were running back and forth filling bowls from the various ingredient stations, when it looked like having a third would have made things a lot more efficient. It gets even slower in this situation when you are crafting bowls. The line was almost back to the entrance. The cashier had her hands full too, occasionally having to step away for a few seconds. I was never asked about a beverage, I guess you have to speak up on your own. That's too bad for them as well, because beverage sales typically have a higher profit margin. Probably half of the people in the dining area did not have beverages. Also during busy times, it can be as tough finding someplace to sit inside as it is finding a space in the parking garage. Still, I did really enjoy my salad, though I think by default they give you more dressing than necessary. Having experienced that once, I'll know to ask for a little less next time.

Friendsgiving has become a heck of a lot less stressful after discovering Judith's Kitchen. My…read morefriends and I usually plan one either the week before or after Thanksgiving, but most places that offer Thanksgiving catering only do so during the few days leading up to the big day. A couple of Friendsgivings ago I became determined to find a place where we could order catering in or around Newton where my friend hosts. After a little digging, I uncovered the gem that is Judith's Kitchen. Not only does Judith's Kitchen have oven roasted turkey breast and most of the standard Thanksgiving sides, but they have them year-round! Their full catering menu is quite extensive. That first year we ordered the turkey breast with gravy as well as the brussel sprouts, rosemary potatoes, and the butternut squash purée. The remaining sides we made ourselves. Let's just say everything was a massive hit. You pop everything in the oven to heat up and then they're ready to plate. It's so much nicer than making everything from scratch, especially the turkey. That quartet has become our regular Friendsgiving catering order. Placing an order is easy peasy as you do it with Judith herself (or you can do it online if you prefer). Just tell her what you want and for how many people and she'll let you know exactly the quantity you need. You do end up paying a bit of a premium considering we don't order a ton of food, but I think it's totally worth it for the convenience alone. I'd love to try their lunch offerings if I lived closer, but until then, Judith's Kitchen will be our go-to for Friendsgiving.

The pizza didn't reflect the picture. It had crispy crust but it had salty deli ham that was not chopped fine. The mozzarella bland and heavy. No oregano or seasoning. The ham saltiness over powered the can pineapple and the dough not and sauce not very flavorful. Maybe they're better on pepperoni and cheese cuz how can you go wrong with that? Maybe better products. This is just one opinion but another person my differ don't take my word for it everyone has different taste buds.

The salad is always crisp & fresh, and the meat has always been moist. I love that you can customize everything to your liking, from building your own bowl to choosing a light or heavy pour on the dressing. They have a great selection of toppings, dressings, and proteins, including plenty of plant-based and dairy-free options, making it perfect for anyone with dietary needs. The portion sizes are solid and the prices are pretty reasonable for the high quality you receive. While service can sometimes be a bit slow, it is only because it gets super busy during the 2-hours around lunch. Easily solved by ordering ahead. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and happy to help. The restaurant itself is bright, open, and clean, and there's an outdoor patio when the weather permits. I've had many of their salads, wraps, drinks, and snacks.. Haven't yet had anything I don't like!
