Great service really makes a difference, and she made the whole experience even better. Definitely a great spot for happy hour. We'll be back!

Took my husband to True Food last night for the first time…read more The hostess was friendly and we were seated quickly. We both ordered drinks, burgers with salads, and an order of fries to share. Burgers came out hot and fast. My grass fed burger was great but my husband's turkey burger was average (solid serving size, fresh ingredients, no flavor at all). Our salads were overdressed and wilted. Fries were cold. Our server was attentive but not friendly, I'm going to assume it was the end of shift and she was tired. I don't know, it was good but not great. I think I might stick to my usual locations in Palo Alto and El Segundo.

I'm a lover, big time. Sure, the items available are definitely not cheap. My salad was $18, but chock full of high-quality ingredients. So scrumptious/fresh-smelling. There is an up charge if you want to add protein, of course. I got a seasonal selection. The Alice Waters' Peach & Goat Cheese Salad. Comes with lemon-tarragon dressing. It's tangy and very tasty. The bowl that you pay for is sizable, and you might not finish the whole thing in one sitting. But it's easy to put in the fridge to be stored/ enjoyed later. I got terrific customer service, and didn't experience any issue. The store was clean and the staff members were welcoming, helpful, and eager.

I've been a Sweetgreen customer since the original Mountain View location opened roughly 15 years…read moreago. Today was the worst customer service experience I've ever had at any Sweetgreen. I specifically requested a bowl for dine in because I strongly dislike eating out of the compostable cardboard containers. They affect the taste and overall dining experience for me. When I asked for a bowl, I was told none were available. The problem was that I could clearly see bowls in the restaurant. I was told they were "dirty" and unavailable. I also observed bowls being used for wrap preparation. I pointed out that there were other bowls visible, including plastic and porcelain bowls, but Store Manager Julia repeatedly cited "store policy" and offered no solution whatsoever. What was most disappointing was the complete lack of effort to accommodate a loyal customer. No attempt to wash a bowl. No alternative suggestion. No effort to find a manager-level solution. Just a flat "no." As a result, my wife ate her salad, my daughter ate her wrap, and I sat there watching because I refused to eat from the cardboard container. I've happily supported Sweetgreen for over 15 years, but after today's experience, that relationship is over. Other fast-casual restaurants like MIXT and Tender Greens have no issue providing proper dine-in bowls and plates when customers request them. The issue wasn't the bowl. It was the attitude, the unwillingness to help, and a manager who seemed more interested in hiding behind policy than solving a customer problem. After 15 years as a customer, I expected better. UPDATE: Sweetgreen responded with a generic, copy-and-paste apology that did not address any of the questions raised in this review. Specifically: * Does Sweetgreen provide dine in bowls or not? * Why are dine in bowls prominently featured in Sweetgreen's advertising and app if customers cannot use them? * Why was no attempt made to wash a bowl or otherwise accommodate a dine in customer? * Was Store Manager Julia correctly applying Sweetgreen policy, or was this simply poor customer service? I am still waiting for an answer.

It's not somewhere you got your way to find, but if you're in Walnut Creek downtown area hanging out or shopping, it's a good option to swing by and eat to relax and/or catch up with friends. Ask for extras of the house ranch. It's great to pair with the burgers. California burger (17.99): only burger I've tried, it's solid but the meat is on the drier side and l expensive for what it is Vietnamese chicken (15.99): most popular salad, pretty good Citrus and avocado chop (15.99): refreshing and all the ingredients work well together. Taste wise I still think the Vietnamese chicken is better though. Garlic fries (4.99): they are good, but a bit greasy. They pair well with the house mustard.

Welcomed by friendly staff that grabs your order over the counter and then they send you to get in line to pay at the register. You can also place online orders. The wait wasn't too bad on a Sunday afternoon and definitely worth it. Easily became one of my new fav sandwich shops!

On all 3 occasions I've gone to this establishment, they have either run out of certain types of bread or certain deli meats. So then when I call ahead of time, nobody answers the phone...ever. and because they're always out of something, I always have to change my initial order. And then when they say, why didn't you call? I let them know that I did, but nobody ever answers. This leaves me credibly frustrated, and for that reason, I give them a 3. I do enjoy the Italian sub, the Reuben and the classic peppered, Turkey sandwich. They are also very fairly priced. As a whole experience, I give them a 3. I'm hoping when they move to Pleasant Hill.

It was my girlfriend's birthday so I had reserved a table for 2 at 6:30pm and didn't get sat down until 7:25pm. Staff apologized and more than made up for it and I really appreciate their efforts for making it a great night. They gave us complimentary brute champagnes for having us wait beyond our reservation and at the end a complimentary birthday dessert of our choice. Honestly I wouldn't mind waiting again for free stuff haha but the wait did leave the birthday girl very frustrated until dining. The food is fantastic! Everything was on point and delicious. Drink was also good too. I don't have any other complaints except wait time but the professionalism and hospitality went off the charts. I normally breakdown and rate what I got but honestly it's a 5/5 for me. I ordered gnocchi, fettuccine alfredo, meatballs, ministrone, and chose Joe's butter cake. All was absolutely exceptional. Portions are huge and is of great value. I'm definitely coming back and will probably order the same list again!
