The counter service was quick, I ordered and was in and out in under 5 mins. Got lunch for two and it was about $32 CAD. Wouldn't hesitate to go here again, as their entire menu is healthy and fresh. Of course if you don't like any of their signature salads, you can create your own. Good soups as well, had their version of the French onion soup and it was also good. Definitely give this place a try if you tend to frequent Williams.

Chopped Leaf is a new chain that has now also opened up in Waterloo. The opening of this restaurant…read morecontinues the trend of more restaurants opening up in KW that cater to the health conscious crowd. The ingredients used in the meals are fresh and mostly non processed with the exception of the protein options like wild salmon, tuna, etc. You can make a meal our of salad bowl, design your own wrap, select from one of their signature wraps, or select one of their sandwiches. I have had the tuna melt and found it satisfying. Similarly, I have tried the various salad bowls, signature wraps as well as custom wraps. If you are really hungry but still want a healthy meal, I recommend going for the wraps as the portions are a decent size. Everything I have had has tasted great and most importantly I have felt great after eating it! For the drinks, you have your regular sandwich shop options but this being a restaurant catering to the health conscious, you will find freshly squeezed juices as well. Depending on what you are having expect to pay up to $11-12 with tax for the food. The freshly squeezed juices go for around $7. They allow take out or sit in. The restaurant itself is clean and well appropriately decorated. The service staff has been friendly and courteous on all occasions without exception. Overall, this location is off to a great start and I hope they keep it at this level and get even better. Highly recommended!

Sometimes it depends on who makes the sandwich for you but usually the workers load the sandwich pretty well with your choice of toppings.

Definitely a place you would come to get a couple of things, not your typical weekly groceries.

Food was tasty albiet a little bit on the pricier side! We got nachos. Only knocking off a star because I wish the place was a little bit more easy to navigate: the menus were scribbly and a challenge to read, there was no guidance on how to use the video games unless you asked (one of the games wouldn't start and for the other one we couldn't find the controllers!), and the board games weren't obviously organized by alphabet or anything! I would have appreciated that. As extremely casual board gamers, we spent a lot of time deciding which board games to pick and only ended up playing a couple of games! A lot of the games are very old (which was cool). I think what sells the place is it's vintage-y charm coupled with nostalgia :) would recommend to go at least once.

They did also have a section to help you identify which games you could play with only two people which was super helpful. We didn't stay long because we had to get home, but enjoyed our time here. I would definitely go back to check out more of the stuff they have.

We stopped by for a quick drink and bite after seeing this place recommended in the Coffee Passport…read morefor K dubs, but unfortunately it ended up being a major letdown. We ordered two iced lattes: raspberry and lavender. They were ok, but nothing particularly memorable regarding the roasted beans they used. The bamboo straws were also frustratingly flimsy and kept breaking, which was especially annoying since the syrups settled at the bottom and you really needed the straws to mix the drinks properly. The major issue was the food service. We ordered a cinnamon bun and the Pregnant Sasquatch sandwich alongside our drinks, then waited nearly 30 minutes while watching people who ordered after us receive their food. When I finally went up to ask, it turned out the cashier had forgotten to send our order to the kitchen. This was stressful since we had an appointment in Toronto later in the afternoon. The cinnamon bun was then handed to us, which was sitting on the counter the whole time. Another 15 minutes later, a staff member came over to tell us they had run out of the artisan bun for the sandwich, so we had to choose an alternative. At that point, after all the delays and confusion, it honestly felt like some kind of compensation would've been appropriate. I ended up switching to sourdough bread. After waiting yet another 10 minutes, I asked if we could just cancel the sandwich altogether. The cashier assured us it was coming, and it finally arrived about 5 minutes later. To be fair, when I asked what happened, the cashier explained that they were very busy. But - there wasn't even much of a line when we placed our order, so the explanation didn't really add up. And unfortunately, after nearly an hour of waiting and spending around $30 on drinks and food, the sandwich itself was mid at best, Overall, the experience just didn't live up to the hype, and we probably won't be back.

Tenders and fries were also great, both covered in a spicy seasoning, The tenders weren't super crunchy, but they were freshly made. The fries were nicely crunchy however, providing a crisp that the tenders didn't. The buttermilk ranch sauce was a bit bland, didn't really do much for the meal.

We went with 6 people and all around us were groups. The main area seems to be able to sit 50+ at least. Service staff are great, they refill and provide all the containers you'll need to get going.

We finished maybe 40% of it. The rest were another two meals at home. Over the years, the price has gone up considerably, but the quality and quantity is still a great value. Definitely bring a group and any visitors from out of town. From previous visits their pig tails, sausage are also great. My favorite is the ribs, mac & cheese, red beans & rice, and the tater tots though. Definitely will need to try their fried chicken and Back of House pizza (attached outside for takeout only) next time.
