While those of us in the dmv are used to seeing sweetgreen around, it should not be lost on us that it is an amazing salad place. It's definitely the premier healthy eats destination for the Crystal City main strip (right next to Rasa, literally and figuratively). I've seen this place packed to the brim and the staff always handles it with grace. It is not easy to deal with the lunch rush, especially when each order is so personalized. Docking a star because the space offers little to no seating indoors (3 tables max maybe?). You'll have to grab one outside or in the plaza space. read more

Flight was cancelled and my body needed something healthy. Salad was filling, ingredients were fresh, plenty of greens. Creamy basil dressing is tasty. Good option for fast, nutritious dinner delivery. read more

Sweetgreen - build your own bowl with tofu, chickpeas, egg, avocado, and apples - Salad Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Stopped in for a quick weekday lunch and the staff was really friendly and fixed my order up quickly. I ordered for pick up and it was ready quickly. I like how this sweet green bowl seem to have gotten bigger and the new cups for the juice. The juice was actually very good for a green juice. The restaurant was a little bit loud for a weekday lunch, but otherwise it was good. read more

Located along Crystal Drive next to a Chick-fil-A. This place does get busy during lunch hour with all the patrons around Crystal City. The ambiance is open and very clean. They do have a great selection and everything is freshly prepared. The staff is always friendly and attentive. Will be back. Enjoy! read more

This seems to be the only location that does delivery in my area. I thought I was going crazy w the last few orders so I actually took pictures w the latest one. $14 (not including tax, service, delivery, tip) and the tomato portion is 6 cherry tomato halves, the broccoli is mostly stems, the Parmesan cheese is crumbs that you expect to be on the floor, and a meager portion of chicken. Yikes. read more

Absolutely dreadful customer service at this location and I will not return. It was my first time ordering at a Sweetgreen so I am new to the whole process. A gentleman with a hipster/skate boarder vibe took my order. I chose my salad and said, "heavy" hinting that I wanted to go heavy on the dressing. This employee looks back at me with an unimpressed look and asks what I mean by that. I said, "heavy as in heavy on the dressing." He makes the most disgruntled face and replies with a sour tone, "yeah... just wait for that over there..." This rude gentleman might as well rolled his eyes and flicked me off with the energy he gave off. When he got to the dressing station, he asks, "What is it you wanted again? Heavy?" I refused to give eye contact and proceeded to the cashier. I wanted to give him the same energy he gave me. I paid for my bowl without saying a word and stormed out of there. Employees with egos like this should definitely quit these type of jobs and go chase their dream as a bass player. Either play the bass or make my salad. Choose a struggle. read more

Did two build your own bowls, and ended up getting charged for a bunch of extras somehow. Most bowl places only one or two things are extra, here everything is a premium item - not even sure what I was charged for. I was trying to avoid the extras and still got charged. My bowl was bland and boring. Next time if I have to eat at a sweetgreen I'll stick with the prefixed items. The employee could tell I wasn't a regular as I asked for my meat first before the toppings. Much better Cava and Roti. read more

This Sweetgreen always irritates me some way some how when I come here. I think this my last time coming back here. I placed my to-go order at 8:00, app says it will be ready by 8:20, I get there at 8:19 and there is literally nobody in the store. So she tells me they are waiting on more sweet potatoes for my order and that's it. 11 minutes later, I get my order. I get home, they forgot the rice in my order, the sweet potatoes still aren't soft, and it's like.... All this hassle I could have just went to Cava lol I'm not coming back. Not worth the 15 dollars. I'm only giving 3 stars because I like the salad dressing lol read more

Food is healthy, we're assuming. Service is lousy. The phone number is answered by a Stephen Hawkings robot. There was nowhere to park. You can't ask any questions, because there's no human face-to-face contact until you reach the store. The ambiance is a remote notion on a far away planet. This is too much work to eat healthy. read more

3/10/20 - Since I just had a salad somewhere else & was still a little hungry, I opted for a piece meal while my Gal Pal was next door at CFA. My effort didn't work in my favor, as the Falafels were burnt & dry, along with crispy bread that's normally is soft. I did enjoy the tasty dollop of hummus which was suppose to be a "side" size. For the most part, my trips to SG's yields a good experience, so all good. Plus, the employees were friendly & full of energy. read more

Sweetgreen - Falafel (burnt & dry) & Hummus, 3.7.2020. - Salad Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Sometimes... very rarely I like to give my stomach a break and chose a meal primarily of fresh greenery with vinegarett dressing and maybe some roasted or bake chicken. I ran across a great little establishment serving just that and more, Sweet Green's is a wonderful spot for a light but tasty meal, they serve up the greens in a variety ways to suit anyone platelet, should you feel like something more you can build your own. I had the Rustic Salad with Wild Rice, Kale (our secret), Roated Tomatoes, Goats Cheese, Red Onions and some Roasted Chicken oh, lest not forget the Almonds... really good, if you have the opportunity to, I recommend trying Sweet Greens. read more

I am so happy to be back in the DMV, I have been absolutely craaaaving this place since I first had it three years ago! After three years of living in towns I can only call a foodie's greatest nightmare, I've finally found my vegan heaven! This will definitely become a new go-to! For this specific location, I just dinged it one star--while I had exceptional service, my mom, who had never been her before and did have questions about the different options available, dressings, etc., seemed to get the brush off from the employee helping her. She ended up with only one dressing, while I got two different ones to try, no bread, while I did, and she ended up having to use my lime because she just didn't want to ask anything else. But overall, really enjoyed getting to eat here again! read more

Sweetgreen - Super Green Goddess with Lime Cilantro Jalapeño Vinaigrette - Salad Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

After making both steak salads, one completely, I was asked if I wanted to wait for steak. I asked what do you mean. They had run out of steak & wanted to know if I wanted to wait 10 minutes to cook more steak. I said sure, it comes with steak. I'll wait for the steak. She then set both aside. After a few minutes, I asked her if she was going to put new steak where the old steak now gotten cold. This caused a long discussion with half of the work crew. She said sure...I will put hot steak in both. I do not think they knew what they were doing. I will not be going to the store again. Service was well below what I have received from Sweetgreen in the past, and what I can get the same walking distance in a different store. This was disdappointing and preventable. Train the people you hire. read more

I know this is essentially a chain that is more or less the same across the country, but this is a particularly nice example of a Sweetgreen. All of the ingredients are delicious and fresh, and the service is pretty quick for DC. My only real complaint, which applies to many locations, is that they sometimes skimp on the side given the price - and that's mostly because I love the sides a lot! read more

I am OBSESSED. This was the first sweetgreen I've been to, so I don't have any context of how sweetgreens usually are, but judging by the other reviews, this one is particularly fantastic. I can't disagree. I work nearby, and last week I came here THREE times. The workers work fast + are always nice, and the salads are always fresh. It's hard to justify a $13 salad but I can't say I can make a better one at home. My go to is the chicken pesto salad. The combination of the sour, savory pesto with the umami hot sauce is to die for, really. I'd really like to try other salads, but I feel like I'm perpetually craving the chicken pesto one. And I don't even LIKE spinach (or maybe I do now, because I like this salad so much). read more

Customer service at this location is superb. The ladies are very nice. I got the protein bowl with salmon and I'm hooked! It's my go to bowl now. read more

Extremely kind staff, excellent attention to detail. I'll certainly come back when I'm in the area!

Went here for lunch. It was a good salad as I had the guacamole greens salad. Thought it was a bit pricey but overall good place to eat. The service was fast and friendly. read more

Came here around 7pm. The store was essentially empty at the time, looks like they were getting ready to close the shop. Tried asking for a recommendation and the person just shrugged her shoulder. As I'm used to a New Yorker pace, the entire process was a bit slow for me. The end result is tasty though. read more

This is the sweetgreen on Crystal Drive in Crystal City. Have sweetgreen's salad bowls become larger? I swear... they never used to be this big. Or am I going crazy. Someone please reach out and let me know. I'm really curious. Cause I remember going to sweetgreen a while back and thinking to myself: "These tiny salads will never fill me up." Sorry, big guy over here. I need a big salad to match! Now the bowls are the size of a proper entree salad imo. I got the Guacomole greens with romaine instead of the mesclun mix. I added the roasted corn and peppers to it. And it was pretty darn good. I mean, I still think that the protein is not at the level it should be, which is why I knock off one star. But overall, it was a very filling salad and the dressing was pretty delicious too: lime cilantro vinegarette. The whole experience definitely made me rethink sweetgreen as a lunch option. I definitely think they've upped their game a bit. read more

Make your own salad/bowl with SO many options. I stopped here on my way to the airport to fly out of Ronald Regan. I made my own bowl with Tofu, spinach, onion, mushrooms, It was delicious!! My brother got the BBQ chicken salad and really enjoyed it as well. There are so many meat and non meat options, for a crazy amount of variety. Fairly priced too! Lots of food, come hungry. read more

While in DC for business and not eating the best I was craving a salad. Sweetgreen was a close walk from my business hotel. I was so delighted to see the fresh ingredients from farmers from across the country. Simple menu and can create your own salad. Many ingredients to choose from. Plenty of nearby seating, outside and or inside. read more

Sweetgreen is by far my favorite place to get a salad, locally or when I am traveling. Today I went for the peach & buratta and added salami. It was excellent! The staff at this location are efficient and friendly. The online ordering system was down today which I hope it doesn't stay down for long because I really like to order online to avoid lines at lunch time. This location is great on the go but also has plenty of seating inside. I have been eating Sweetgreen since the first location opened in Georgetown and the quality and consistency is always there. I know a lot of people say it's overpriced, however I think for the high quality of the ingredients and the amount of food the price is fair. Additionally, this is a great place for restrictive diets. A lot of my team at work is either gluten-free or dairy-free and this is one of the only restaurants we can all eat at and everyone is happy. read more

Sweetgreen - Salad Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Awesome lunch alternative, dinner, and "grab on the go" spot if you wanna mix-in some clean eating to your weekly routine...........or if you're direly feeling the need to quiet that naughty inner-symptomatic "id/ego" voice......suggesting that you to drive to KFC for lunch instead! Sweetgreen is an amazing place, with their own unique spin on clean and healthy eating. This is your destination for delicious food that is both healthy for you and aligned with getting your inner-gut (oops...I meant glow) right! LOL. They have a very vast array of salads, seasonal greens and veggies to choose from. You can customize any of their "signature" salads or you can simply create your own. From the salads, greens, to seasonal veggies...I find everything is always FRESH, CRISP and TASTY at this location! There are a plethora of toppings from all kinds of sod vegetables, cheeses, proteins like tuna/chicken and more......as well as all types of nuts, natural fruit and berries to keep your salad world, vegetarian/vegan monotony and healthy eating journey exciting. If you are like me....still trying to hang on barely to your New Year's resolutions to eat better, detox, maybe shed a few pounds and/or need food choices that meet the nutrient needs of diets of any kind.....from Paleo to Atkins, South Beach, the Dolce Diet and beyond....this place got you covered! I usually K.I.S.S....."Keep It Simple Shorty!".....when it comes to this place. My "go-to" salad is the: ** BEETS DON'T KALE MY VIBE ** Kale + beets + chopped romaine, tomatoes, roasted chicken, glazed pecan & bacon...with the Spicy Carrot Vinaigarette dressing! This salad does it for me every time! Occasionally, I customize the salad my own way (i.e. adding beets, cucumbers, or change up the dressing)....to keep it interesting. I have also tried a couple of their other salads such as the: ** KALE CEASAR ** Shredded kale + chopped romaine, tomatoes, shaved parmesan, parmesan crisp, roasted chicken, fresh lime squeeze, and killer Caesar dressing!....All in a bowl that is barley 400+ calories and definitely filling --close to 2 servings. ** RAD THAI ** Organic arugula + organic mesclun, sprouts, carrots, shredded cabbage, spicy sunflower seeds, cucumbers, basil, citrus shrimp, spicy cashew dressing They are all good in my book! I am still working on experimenting with other salads and grains....as to I am like a picky, stubborn kid when it comes to eating all my vegetables! Overall 4 1/2 stars!.....A great concept and spin on eating salads. The food is local/farm sourced, high-quality and the customer service is very friendly! You can tell that high standards and quality drives this place first and foremost when it comes to the produce and preparing their goods. As for their Prices ($$).....Ummmm!!??.... I am still adjusting to it. It is still something I kind of snarl at (with the stink-face).....when it comes to paying $8-$12 bucks during lunch for a salad and we haven't even added a drink or side yet?! LOL. But, Hey! You can't put a price on your health and eating good. You get what you pay for at Sweetgreen...literally!! And, that is quality food and a good "euphoric" feeling that you are doing something right for yourself. #DAB! #LiveStrong! read more

This area's salad bar. Pros: -Trendy -Premade recipes as well as "make-your-own" Cons: -Not very filling -Pricey salad Food: The Miso Bowl has a slight tang and some surprise spice! The chicken was nice and tender and the salad itself was well-mixed. Not too filling though, as one would expect. Atmosphere: It looks clean and spacious. There is very limited seating inside. There is some seating outside the restaurant. Most take it to go though. Finish: This place is usually the option for those who wanna eat healthy on their lunch breaks. Besides that, there isn't much more to Sweet Greens. read more

All I can say is wow, wow, and wow again!! My mom and I stumbled upon this place when searching for food yesterday and I am sooo glad that we walked in. Honestly I was a little hesitant at first because most of the menu is made up of salads, but they are AMAZING salads!! The gentleman that helped us was super nice and helpful. He suggested the salad that I ended up ordering, which was their chicken and kale salad. This salad was huge and filled with chunks of sweet potatoes, apples, goat cheese, and nuts. Everything came together so well with their red vinaigrette sauce. With their salad dressings they give you a choice of once around for "like", twice around for "love", and three times around for "give me more"! The salad surprised me so much as one it was extremely filling and two you could not even taste the kale. The bitter taste that you usually get from kale is gone. Everything in my salad was extremely fresh! Also, I loved the price, just $10 and I got two meals out of it--so awesome! I will definitely be back to sweet green for some more of their sweet greens!! read more

Review for salad received in 2019. This review is for the Sweetgreen in Crystal City. I used to go there often and loved the salads. Service was quick. The last time I went to this Sweetgreen I got my salad and rushed home to eat it because I was starving. I was disgusted and mortified to see a tiny green worm crawling very fast trying to get out of my salad. I immediately too the salad threw it away and threw the trash out. I was extremely hungry before this and completely lost my appetite. It really made my upset and question if anything like worms that were in the previous salads I ate from this location. I can't bare to eat at any Sweetgreen location now. And mostly don't eat out as much anymore. After doing google searches I saw that several people have found things in their salads from Sweetgreen like bugs etc. Come to think of it i have only ordered about 2 to 3 salads after this experience from restaurants and will only consider it if the restaurant has more upscale standards. read more

I came here with a small group recently for dinner. We decided a nice refreshing salad would be best for the recent heat we have been having. They have a lot of interesting salads and you can customize everything to your preferences which I loved. I had the July salad with added chicken and it was perfect for a light dinner. The peaches were great and I loved the addition of the goat cheese. The employees were are super helpful and very friendly. I will definitely be back again! read more

This is going to be the shortest review out of all the reviews I've written, but I did not like the food here at all. I'm sorry, I really wanted to like the food here, but just didn't. I had the Hummus Tahina with their "house beverage" and literally couldn't find anything redeeming about it. The salad consisted of chopped romaine, shredded kale, herb falafel, local feta, tomatoes, red onion, cucumbers, za'atar breadcrumbs, housemade hummus, and cucumber tahini yogurt dressing. All the ingredients should have worked together, I mean it's almost the same thing I get when I order falafel from the street vendors at work, but it was so overpowered by the kale that it just didn't work and I really don't know what else to say about it. I couldn't finish it and threw it in the trash, drink and all. Literally. Hated it. read more

I think this location is a hit or miss. I've gotten generous portions and small portions with skimpy ingredients. Visiting during nonpeak hours is encouraged because it is definitely a location to avoid during weekday lunch (11:30am-1:30pm). The wait time is 15-20 minutes if you stand in line, and if you order online and pick-up, there's a good chance the order will be underportioned or missing something. I love sweetgreen but don't always trust this location. Twice in the past 2 months I was unsatisfied. Just remember that if you stand in line you can ask for more greens if you're unhappy with the portion! read more

My wife and I have come to this Sweetgreen and it's really good! Sweetgreen has all kinds of salads, and they make them right there in front of you. If you want a healthy meal, this is the place for you, it has a lot of fresh, healthy greens, and a choice of dressings to choose from. The portion size of the salad is good and they give you some fresh bread to go with the salad as well! Crystal City mainly has fast food spots or steak places, so it's nice to be able to have a alternative that is also very appetizing! Lunch Hour Warning: lunch hours during the week is hectic, then again, that's just the normal caution for anywhere at lunch time in Crystal City, but there will be a line out the door! read more

I'm impressed with how fresh the vegetables are here! Service was extremely fast and the BBQ chicken salad bowl was delicious with the combinations they've had prepared. I only wished that this type of restaurant was in the Milwaukee Wisconsin area. read more

My second time visiting this particular sweet green as I have been to several however I am at work (law enforcement) so I went to grab a quick dinner. The lady thanked me for waiting as she was the only one servicing the customers in the store. When she got to me she appeared to be a lilttle annoyed because I did not want to traditional big size bowl that they offer for a salad. I opted for the kids size which I always do. Being a Bariatric patient I cannot eat much or I will become ill. I simply asked for kale only, carrots, double blue cheese, one egg and avocado with bread crumbs. That's it not meat! The lady (Gladys) was so upset that I got the kids size she said that she was going to charge me different because she didn't feel that I should pay for the kids meal. Let me be clear I don't have a problem paying anything however YOU will not change the price due to your feelings. I was at the same restaurant the day before and requested the same thing as I don't eat meat! And the price was totally different than what she charged. I frequent Sweetgreen in the DC area and I have never received the type of Customer Service that she displayed the rolling of the eyes and rudeness was unacceptable. I told her the manager was their the day before helping the guy who took my order as he did not speak English just as the other two who was their when I encountered the horrible interaction with her and Gladys stated that the manager is a lady it's 3 or 4 different managers that are woman and one is a female as if I was lying or something and then she stated well he should not have done that I will speak with him. I requested to speak with the manager on duty and she refused to call one. I will never patronize this establishment again and I warn others as well. Several of my colleagues will also not be visiting this particular establishment either. read more

Sweetgreen! Please open one of these in Honolulu! We have a huge, upscale part of town being developed in a place called Kakaako, and you would fit right in there! Sweetgreen has all kinds of salads, and they make them for you right in front of you. Lots of good, fresh, healthy greens, and a choice of dressings to choose from. Nice and filling, too. When you have mostly fast food joints to choose from, a decidedly healthier alternative like this really fits the bill. I'm assuming this is a franchise, so all you rich fast food entrepreneurs want to become even richer? Open up one of these in Kakaako, Manoa, Kailua, Aina Haina, or Hawaii Kai. Better yet, open up in all five places and I will patronize you and you can become even richer. Just give me a ride in one of your Teslas as a token of thanks to me for the awesome suggestion! read more

We are regular customers at Sweetgreen. Best fast salad in our 'hood. My go to is the Harvest Bowl with quinoa. This shout out is for Manager Mario and his crew. The sweetgreen co launched a promotion through the app which caused chaos and shortages. The crew was obviously having a stressful day dealing with cranky customers and shortages BUT when I asked to speak to a manager, the staff responded with politeness. Mario went out of his way to deal with my issue with a professional attitude and a smile. This store has earned my loyalty! Thanks guys. read more

Definitely a great alternative to the other salad chains. I chose to get a bowl off their menu and wasn't disappointed in their creation. The cheese, sweet potatoes, and dressing were perfect together. I tried to find a location in Houston that same night and only found locations that are for certain building employees, so I guess I will have to wait until they finally get their own location after returning home. read more

This has to be my favorite "surprised" restaurant because this restaurant wasn't what I expected. I knew it was vegan friendly, super green but I didn't know how savory or tasty it was really going to be, especially for their prices. I was about to cross over to the other block and get Chipotle, but I changed my mind because I wanted to have something that I couldn't find where I lived. I had the Pesto Portobello and my drink was the seasonal Carrot Turmeric Fresca. I really didn't know what to expect, just maybe lettuce and some quinoa with a heavy price. I loved it! They know exactly how to mix the right ingredients to get you a good sized portion of healthy greens, grains and other veggies. I usually don't like cold ingredients such as chickpeas, but in this case it mixed so well with the dressing. They ask how much of the dressing u want (light, medium, or a lot) and in my case I ordered medium. The drink Carrot Turmeric Fresca was definitely refreshing even if I had it on a cold day and was totally different. It had no extra sugary taste and you can definitely tell was made and juiced freshly with no artificial add ons. The place was also really clean and welcoming. They had all their lettuce and veggies presentable along the walls in stock. I will definitely be coming back here on my next visit. read more

I usually cringe at the idea of paying a lot for just a salad, but I think they're salads have good substance to them. This location has a line out the door during lunchtime. This makes ordering online key; create an online account, pick and pay, and they'll give you a time when your salad should be ready for pickup. The kale ceasar salad is great. The chips inside are delicious, and if you like zest like I do, go for an extra lime squeeze. read more

I love the new salad chains, especially the ones that use farm-to-table and local sourcing strategies, like Sweetgreen. This is a great healthier food option for the Crystal City area, which is much appreciated Oates. Lines are long around lunchtime though, so plan accordingly. read more
