I'm a property manager and I was asked to help out for a few hours at one of the properties that my…read morecompany manages near Original ChopShop. I had about 30 minutes for lunch and I decided to stop here. This was my first time coming here. Original ChopShop is at the end of one of two rows of business buildings in a shopping center. During lunch time on a weekday when I visited, parking spaces were hard to come by because there are many popular places to eat here. The order counter is just a few steps in front the entrance. Large menus are display are above the counter. Lots of natural light streamed through the large windows in the front of the store, and the side and ceiling of the large indoor dining area feature glass windows, making it feel like you're dining outdoors without experiencing the elements or insects. However, there is an outdoor patio if you actually do want to experience the elements and insects. The dining room was very clean. I got to Original ChopShop at around ten minutes past noon. Surprisingly, there were only about 15 people, although the restaurant can seat a whole lot more customers than that. In spite of not having that many customers, it still took 20 minutes for my order to be delivered to my table. I had ordered a grilled steak sandwich on multi-grain bread. The sandwich included grilled sirloin, caramelized onion, fontina, arugula, apple, mushroom, horseradish creme, and soy sesame sauce. The presentation was nice, but I thought the flavors were just awful, with the main flavor being "burnt." The grilled sirloin was tender, but its flavor was ruined by the caramelized onions and/or the mushroom. I was also expecting the bits of steak to be hot, but it wasn't. Something tasted really off. I had only taken one bite and that was enough. I did eat the pickle, which tasted great! I really had to leave to get to work, anyway. This was not a good experience.

The food is amazing and they have some creative bowls that I haven't found at other places. If I lived near the area I probably wouldn't mind the odd experiences but I do not so I mind. They always seem to be short on food, close early and today I drove 25 mins to get there at 4pm you couldn't come inside for whatever reason. There was no employee or sign explaining anything just lots of confused customers and people waiting in their cars who placed orders online. The food is worth trying but I won't go out of my way to go anymore

This is my go to spot every single time…read more As someone who genuinely loves food and cares about what I'm putting into my body, it's rare to find a place that feels this easy. The food is fresh, flavorful, and you leave feeling good after eating. The service is consistently on point and you can feel the strong leadership behind it. That kind of culture shows in every interaction. My life is fast paced and busy, and this is one place I never have to think twice about. I bring friends, use them for catering, and recommend it to everyone. Healthy, fun, and reliable. Highly recommend.

From the moment you walk in, the ambience strikes the perfect balance between upscale refinement and total comfort. The customer service here honestly feels like home; warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming.What truly sets their hospitality apart for me is how accurately and thoughtfully the staff describes the menu items. They know exactly how to guide someone who eats meat through the plant-based landscape with total confidence.The kitchen is delivering serious flavor execution across the board:Miso Soup: Rich, savory, and packed with a deep umami flavor that hits the spot instantly.Pan-Seared Dumplings: Absolutely delicious with a perfect crisp on the outside and a savory, well-seasoned filling.Spring Rolls: Hands down my absolute favorite of the night. Flawlessly fried, incredibly light, and bursting with fresh taste.Pro Tip: Do not skip the sweet stuff. The desserts are packed with pure, delectable goodness that will make you completely forget they are entirely vegan. Whether you are a strict plant-based foodie or a carnivore looking for an exceptional meal, Cafe Sunflower is an absolute must-visit.

We were seated right away in one of the booths. For starters, we shared the brussel sprouts that literally came out within 5 minutes of ordering. I got the smash burger served with two patties and melted cheese but I subbed for sweet potato fries ($2 extra). It was a good burger though I wish the patties were more smashed for the crispness. My husband got the roasted chicken but it was really just thinly sliced chicken breast with a heaping amount of mashed potatoes and chicken jus. We thought their food was pretty good and a nice little gastropub to have in the area. Service was decent. They do offer complimentary valet parking! We didn't have cash on hand but the staff did have Venmo lol.

Jaime deserves to be recognized!…read more I came into Salata at Atlantic Station today during what looked like an incredibly busy rush, and I have to take a moment to recognize Jaime. I watched the team working hard to keep up with a flood of to-go orders and customers, and through all of it, Jaime was absolutely exceptional. He was upbeat, genuinely friendly, professional, incredibly efficient, and completely unbothered by the chaos around him. His energy was contagious. What impressed me most was that, even while moving quickly and taking care of everyone, he still took a moment to make my interaction feel personal. That kind of customer service is rare. You can tell when someone is simply doing their job versus when someone genuinely cares about the experience they're creating for people. Jaime genuinely cares. At one point, Jaime mentioned that he was new to the company. I was honestly shocked because I assumed he was a manager. The way he carried himself, communicated with customers, and handled the pressure was that impressive. Salata, someone in corporate needs to know about this guy. Jaime is a true representation of the kind of employee every company hopes to have. He deserves to be recognized, celebrated, and, in my opinion, seriously considered for a raise or promotion.

I loved how straightforward their menu was. They have great options to choose from, plus the choice to build your own. They seemed busy due to lunch rush but the line was moving very fast, which was impressive how quickly they're able to prepare everything. The lady behind the counter was friendly! Perhaps the music was a bit loud and the room had a lot of echo. I'll absolutely be back here because I'm already craving this dish again. I'm excited to try what else they have on their menu too!

We had a great first impression of this sweetgreen location at the Star Metals District in West…read moreMidtown. We're fans of other healthy bowl places like Upbeet (just across the street) and gusto! The bowls/plates we had this past Monday at sweetgreen were better than what we've had over the past year from both Upbeet and gusto! I didn't expect that from sweetgreen, which is a nationwide chain with over 240 locations. In comparison, Upbeet has only two locations (Atlanta and Nashville) and gusto! is a local chain with 12 Atlanta-area locations. At this location, sweetgreen validates parking in the attached garage (behind the restaurant) for one hour. Enter the garage via Brady Ave NW. There are two entry points. From the garage, there's a breezeway with direct access to sweetgreen and Howell Mill Rd. Take your parking ticket with you so the staff can put a validation sticker on it. My wife and I dined in and had the following for dinner: * Miso Glazed Salmon ($15.95) - miso-glazed salmon, avocado, cucumbers, pickled onions, crispy onions, white rice, nori sesame seasoning and spicy cashew * Hot Honey Chicken ($14.95) - blackened chicken, warm roasted sweet potatoes, veg slaw, crispy onions, herbed quinoa, and hot honey mustard sauce plus kale * Ripple Fries + Pickle Ketchup ($4.55) - freshly cut potatoes, air-fried in avocado oil and seasoned with sea salt and herbs Jendaya prepared our order and rang us up. Not only were our bowls delicious, but she plated and presented them beautifully. My wife had a question or two since it was our first time. Jendaya was nice when answering them and explaining things. Wonderful service from her. Overall, we were impressed with how tasty and satisfying the bowls were. The ingredient combinations were really flavorful. Everything was so fresh and yummy that it didn't taste like we were eating healthy food. I was most impressed with the salmon, which was soft, moist, and quite appetizing. If only all fast-casual restaurant salmon could be this good. My wife added kale to the Hot Honey Chicken, at no extra charge. You can create custom plates/bowls/salads from scratch or you can modify existing ones on the menu. One plate and fries filled me up for dinner. My wife got full before finishing her plate. We were the only dine-in customers during our visit on Monday around 6:20pm -- not surprising since it was a Monday at dinnertime. I expect this place is busier at lunchtime. If you dine in, the bowls are different (not disposable). In the dining room, a few tables hadn't been cleaned when we sat down to eat. Also, one of the trash bins was overflowing and another was about to. During our visit, I noticed a slow, but steady stream of online and takeout customers and food delivery drivers come through. Currently, there are six sweetgreen locations in metro Atlanta, only one of which is in the burbs (Dunwoody). This Star Metals location was the fourth to open in Atlanta, on March 22, 2022. The first location opened at Ponce City Market on June 8, 2021. The company/brand started in Washington DC in 2006. This location has both indoor and outdoor seating in a cool part of town (Westside). The interior still looks new with a modern, industrial design. If you plan to visit with any regularity, sign up for sweetgreen rewards. Use the sweetgreen app and scan your QR code at checkout to get points. You get 10 points for each eligible $1 spent. At the time of writing this review, you can get Rosemary Focaccia as early as 350 points and an entree up to $18 in value at 2,500 points. Points expire 180 days (about six months) after issuance. I didn't sign up for rewards until after our visit. Using the app, I sent a picture of my receipt to sweetgreen to get points. Christell from the sweetgreen "customer experience" team responded in less than 24 hours. She added the correct amount of points to my account. Excellent online customer support. We look forward to returning.

After being in Atlanta for a while, I was CRAVING vegetables, greens, anything fresh! So I met up…read morewith an old friend at Flower Child, and it was exactly what I needed. I had the grilled salmon with broccoli and sweet potato. Clean and simple, but boy, was everything flavorful! The broccoli was probably my favorite. Perfectly crisp, not overcooked at all, with these delicious pan-charred edges and great seasoning. The salmon was cooked around medium and was really nice, especially for a place that has the ease and convenience of quick-service food but tastes much more farm-to-table. The space itself is casual, colorful, bright, and full of natural light, and it's in such a cute area of Atlanta. I really enjoyed the whole experience. Definitely becoming my go-to spot whenever I'm in town and my body is screaming, PLEASE GIVE ME SOME VEGETABLES!

However, I'm from a city with a strong African food influence, so for me, the jollof was simply food for sustenance. It filled the need, but it wasn't particularly memorable. The plantain chips were the biggest disappointment. They were honestly embarrassing. Packaged Chifles would have been more flavorful and satisfying. There were several things I appreciated. The menu is very friendly to pescatarians, vegans, and vegetarians, and the staff was patient and helpful in explaining the dishes and their ingredients. The restaurant itself is spacious, comfortable, and inviting. The price point is also reasonable, especially for a mall location. Would I intentionally return? Probably not. But if I were with a group that chose Flower Child, I could definitely find something on the menu and enjoy the atmosphere.

If you're a soup lover- this is your spot. It's a small soup chain local to Atlanta with a daily…read morerotating menu. This is one of the five locations, and everyday their menu changes slightly so make sure to check that something you like is being served that day. I typically get the Chicken Noodle Soup (my favorite!) but since it wasn't on the menu today I went with the Tomato Basil. This was very good, but nowhere near as satisfying as the chicken noodle. Personally I like my tomato soups extra thick and creamy, which isn't how I would describe this one. However if that's not your style, this may be for you. I got it with a multi grain roll and chocolate chip cookie and when the roll was dipped in the soup, it was exceptional. And the cookie tasted nice and fresh. There's a free, private lot for parking, and lots of seating indoors and outdoors. The interior is adorable, drenched in yellows and reds, and the staff is very friendly and happy to give a recommendation. A great lunch option if you're over by Blandtown.
