I love that they list all the calories of each meal so I can be mindful while selecting something delicious. I ordered the Kale Caesar salad and it was way better than I expected it to be! There was a good amount of chicken in it, and the staff asked me if I wanted light, medium, or heavy dressing (I went with medium). They toss up the salad for you as well so everything is perfectly mixed and ready to eat. This location is in rice village, so you do have to pay for parking (at least the parking near sweetgreen) if you plan on staying for a little while. However, there are a few spots for 10-15 minute pickup that are free.

You can tell it was made with real ingredients. I also love the lemon squeeze they add to the wrap because it compliments the chicken and Parmesan so well. I hope they never take it off the menu! The service is also good. I'm always greeted with a smile and salutation. The one time I had an issue with my mobile app, the team was so patient and solution oriented

There was no sear on the burger, it was overcooked and flavorless. Two thin, underripe tomato slices and a massive bun. I ended up eating half a patty of bland well-done meat with a fork. It was a $18 meal. Tiny portion of battered fries spread thinly across the plate -- about a small portion at Mickey D's equivalent. I have to vent a bit on the tipping demand placed on patrons who are not actually being serviced tableside. Your cashier was super, sweet and helpful about the food, so I felt obliged to tip, though ringing someone up is not tip-worthy. I'm tired of supplementing business owners who expect their patrons to tend to themselves, doing the bare minimum, while their customers subsidize their labor expenses. The pretzel appetizers came after the main courses, the servings were tiny and the pretzels were stale, like they'd been microwaved. The gouda sauce was lovely, and my friend enjoyed her grits & shrimp. Another at our table actually left their fries, (his burger was also cooked incorrectly) and the other pulled half the coleslaw topping off his fried chicken strips and left it behind. Just way overpriced for what you get.

He took the time to walk us through the menu and gave thoughtful recommendations that made ordering easy. We tried the "Not So Fried" Chicken Sandwich, and the southern potato salad, it was incredible--super flavorful, fresh, and not too heavy. We also had the Farmhouse Ranch Salad with chicken, which was just as delicious--fresh, hearty, and really satisfying. Customer service like that really makes a difference. Definitely coming back! Wish they had a Mendocino Farms in San Antonio!

I ordered the Tejano Cesar Zepplin and added double chicken, pickled onions and halved tomatoes with a side of tomato, basil soup and it was all so good. I've never had a zeppelin until before now and it's the best way to describe it is that it's the cross between a sandwich and a salad. What it is exactly is a loaf of bread with the inside taken out so that it's like more of a shell and then it is a salad bowl like mixture stuffed in there. I feel like it's the perfect lunch because It's super filling, but also very light, and healthy! What more can you ask for. Wish I could even give this location 6 stars because I came about 40 minutes before close and he gave me 2 bread puddings for free because they were about to close.

Easy parking. Easy order. Quick service! I really do find…read morethem delicious, this concept of a salad inside a crispy bread. They warm the bread, remove the inside and leaves the crispy outside to fill in with salad. Their salad recipes are good, especially the southwest one with avocados and black beans. Substitutions seem welcome and you get to choose your own sauce. Of course, let's not forget they offer Zapp's chips, which are delicious. Overall great and filling meal. Oh, so many tables to sit alone or as a group. Great place to be ! Leaving satisfied and would want to come back!

Wow! Just... wow…read more Loved this place from the moment I walked in! Ambiance was super fun and welcoming. The tubs of ice filled with cold drinks all around as you approach the counter was casual and fun. And the staff was welcoming and friendly. The menu had so much variety, without being overwhelming. Anything from a good pazole, to a brisket Rueben, to an American Italian sandwich! I got the báhn mì sandwich, which was bursting with flavor! The pork was seasoned well and had good flavor from the marinade. The cilantro, pickled onions, jalapeno, all were so fresh and vibrant! And I was able to get homemade chips and fresh strawberries as my side - such a refreshing bite the strawberries after a rich, porky, spicy bite from the sandwich. Can't say enough good! Loved this place and would go back in a heartbeat!

A big part of the decades long success at Local Foods has been their commitment to consistency…read more Their casual setting with excellent service is one thing, but quality executed food that is simple and seasonal will always go a long way. Before their recent expansions to Austin, it all began here in Rice Village exactly 15 years ago. The vibes are contemporary and casual, with the kind of space that fits for just about any scenario. Whether it's a solo meal, a lunch date, or a group led affair, the experience is almost always an excellent one. Start by ordering at the counter and find a seat where the food will brought directly to the table. So much of their variety caters to all sorts of dietary restrictions from vegan to gluten free to nut free. Their spicy crispy brussels sprouts ($10) are a nice starter, as is the squash "onion" rings ($12). The local power bowl ($16) is a classic and I've always enjoyed the brown rice and quinoa combo. Their chicken "posolé" is solid, and I love the large hominy bits along with the clear but green tint of a broth. The chicken shawarma bowl ($20) is an interesting mix that includes pickled beets and strawberries, along with their market cheddar burger ($17) and fabulous twice cooked fries. The carrot cupcake is strangely addicting, and I think their gluten free brownie is a bit of a sleeper. Some of their items didn't jive with me previously, such as an underwhelming cashew queso ($9), a semi-laughable Vietnamese steak bowl ($22), and their semi-gringo version of a banh mi ($15). It's not that these items are bad per se, but they definitely don't live up to the same standard that I feel their other dishes do best. Where they hit the biggest home run is their customer service. Everyone working behind the counter does their best to deliver and they almost always do by staying on top of refills, cleanups, and customer greets. I've always enjoyed my experiences here and look forward to every visit.

Berry Tart Butter Croissants Pistachio Croissants Hot Salted Caramel Latte w/Almond Milk Service: OMG, what can I say other than I wasn't ready! Brock and Jael exceeded my expectations of this cute coffee shop and its services. This was my first time ever visiting this establishment accompanied by my mom. We were greeted with the most beautiful smiles and jolly hellos anxiously prepared to take our orders. I had an idea but I wasn't sure what I wanted to order. These two amazing young people helped me decide what I would eventually order. My mom and I were treated so well that I made the decision to return with my work team and I'm truly excited to plan the trip. If you've never been to this coffee shop and you're in the area, please consider stopping by to pick up some coffee and delicious pastries. I would have rated this business 5 stars but I was disappointed with the service provided by the young ladies at the coffee area. They lacked the top notch quality customer service provided by Brandon and Jael. Unfortunately, I didn't get a smile or a hello from these ladies. I think maybe a little coaching is in order. Atmosphere: The interior and exterior of the building was nice and clean including the ladies room. The noise level was low and comfortable while folks were enjoying their food, working on their laptops, and having conversations. I was quite pleased.

I really enjoyed the smoothie and the staff are friendly and provide great service, bringing out the food and asking if we need anything else. The restaurant is clean and there's no tables left dirty for long periods of time if a guest was sitting there. I'd definitely come back at a later time for lunch or dinner cause I think this would be a great sunday brunch place to enjoy with friends.
