This was my first time trying Sweetgreen & I really enjoyed it!! I love a good bowl (hard to beat cava), so I loved customizing my bowl with all of my favorite things. The workers were very nice & helpful walking me through my first time here. I created my own bowl with kale and quinoa, blackened chicken, cucumbers, shaved parm, garlic breadcrumbs, crispy rice, & miso sesame dressing. Yummy yummy ‍ read more

It was my first time at this location. I came in for a quick snack before an event and decided to try the ripple fries and pickle ketchup. Unfortunately I am not a fan as the fries were dry, stale and not seasoned. The pickle ketchup was extremely sour and salty. I usually get a salad and regretted I didn't get one instead. As far as service, the associate was kind and outgoing. The store itself was moderately clean with crumbs here and there. I will be back but for other items besides the fries. read more

I have celiac and while one of the servers was unable to help answer some questions, the manager, Whitney did! She was unsure if the chips were fried in a gluten free fryer, but that's just because everything comes from out of house. She washed her hands and carefully made my bowl and it was delicious! Thank you Whitney! read more

I tried the new spicy green goddess from the winter menu (Jan 2025) and it is delicious! Reminds me of a mix of the chicken pesto parm (my favorite bowl) and the harvest bowl (because of the sweet potatoes). I always like subbing the Romaine for kale, but I loved all the textures and flavors of this bowl. I hope it stays as I will definitely get it again. read more

This is the first time I've been back since I left my review about having to wait 7 minutes for salmon. Well guess what, tonight I had to wait FIFTEEN MINUTES for it!!!! I can't believe this. Very poorly run restaurant. Sad. read more

Sad to report this. I went here with my friend about a week ago... pretty disappointing experience. Friend and I are both vegan and we both ordered vegan salads. Both of ours had meat in it and when we asked nicely for them to remake it, I saw the girl picking out the steak from my bowl. We then asked them to remake it fully, and they rolled their eyes and did it reluctantly. They then told us to not say anything or leave a bad review. read more

I love sweet green and the salads are delicious and filling but I never have a good experience at this location! The workers seem so inconvenienced when I walk in that their eyes about roll in the back of their head! I learned my lesson to ask for blackened chicken as soon as I walk in because they won't ask if you need any modifications or even if you have any allergies which I think is crazy. I'd go to another location but this one is right next to me and there's not one for like another mile and a half. The location staff in Gold Coast are much nicer read more

I ordered a bowl that comes with the green goddess dressing, but I was instead given a different dressing. I have a severe nut allergy, so thankfully I pulled up their menu to try and determine what the dressing was. It was the spicy cashew one. I decided to eat the food anyways without the dressing, only to find a dead fly in my food after I had already started eating. I will not be returning and I do not recommend this location. read more

Another new Sweetgreens location in Lincoln Commons in the Lincoln Park area of Chicago. Located in a pretty fancy area of town, on a street with plenty of other food, coffee, and dessert options. I always get the Harvest Bowl and this location makes it on par with what I've had from the other locations in the city. read more

Whitney and Victor really came through with my chicken bowl today. Excellent service and quality food. Thank you guys

This location is really disappointing. I have a nut allergy and I've never had an issue at any other location. I wanted to try a new summer salad and asked if I could get it with my allergy. The manager said she had no idea if there were nuts and their book of ingredients was lost. She asked me to get what I normally get and still charged me the full amount. Very disappointed. read more

This bug was (alive!) in my salad. To add insult to injury, Uber Eats and Sweetgreen refused to give me a refund! Never again. So gross. read more

I'm really hoping I can update this in a few months, as my experience wasn't on par with what I expect from sweetgreen. I know this is a new location (very excited for it to be here), so I'm sure some opening pains which I hope they will fix. It's one of the larger sweetgreen's I've been in and lots is great light. It's also in a great location. When I came in around 1:30pm today (a Wednesday), there was one person in front of me waiting and then a couple being helped. There were a ton of people working but it looked like everyone was prepping food, not helping customers. Like, out of 10 people working, 2 were helping customers. A line started to form behind me, as well. I understand getting food out is important but customers should be the priority. Because if the experience is bad, you're not gonna keep them coming back. I got the harvest bowl and took it home to eat. As I ate it, I kept biting into hard pieces. I took one out of my mouth and it's the rice. The rice isn't cooked! Like half of it isn't cooked! It made for an undesirable experience as almost every bite would have a hard piece of rice. Makes me wonder what else is undercooked. Hope they get these issues worked out! I will likely wait a bit before coming back. read more

Very disappointing. Early Sunday night, line of 10 people, only one guy making the salads and checking people out. To say he had no urgency to keep the line moving would be a huge understatement. So many people in the back, are they not cross trained for front of house? Had also run out of balsamic dressing. eventual salad was good but not worth 20 minutes in line.... read more

I went to this store tonight and it was legit DIRTY. The entire salad bar area looked a mess. Trays weren't fully situated, covers off, etc. Drink area had visibly crumbs, dark liquid spills and a giant footprint on the ledge. The cubbies with utensils had crumbs and other dirty particles in them. An employee had their phone charging on the back counter and the phone was sitting in a metal bowl. There were several employees around but very few were doing anything. Really disgusting place. read more

I ordered a crispy chicken bowl that was supposed to have blackened chicken in it. Where is the chicken? When I asked, the server said that it is in there but if I wanted extra, it would be another $3.50. How disappointing! Beware! read more

Let's start off by saying that I'm a big fan of sweetgreen and I'm super happy they opened this new location. It's very convenient and I've not had any issues with online ordering or food quality. Why only 3 stars? Ok let's get into it 1. While enjoying my order in the seating area, I noticed a clash of music. One of the employees in the prep area had their cell phone playing music so loud that it overpowered the house music. This made for a distracting environment. There isn't a shift manager who can notice this? 2. They were out of water cups. Uh ok I guess I'll buy a water. How do you run out of cups? 3. One of the employees in the online order prep area snuck a snack from under the counter while they were prepping someone's bowl. Come on you don't have a break room where you can slip a quick bite? I don't care that you're not eating just not in front. 4. People are always waiting to be helped. There's one person making walk in orders and 3 people prepping. The worst part is that no one even acknowledged the guests in line. Food is great, the experience in store needs help. read more

We love Sweetgreen so we are thrilled for this new location- it is large and beautiful, great for dining in. We went on opening day and while the staff was still learning, they were so nice and kind and the food tasted great. We have been back quite a bit for a quick dinner pick up to-go and we have had a great experience with friendly staff and yummy food. Our favs are the chicken caesar salad and the chicken harvest bowl. read more

Sweetgreen is my go-to spot for healthy salad. There are many other options in this area, but I personally prefer sweetgreen because they offers special dressings I like. I always get Harvest bowl with extra protein with extra charge. The cheese in the harvest bowl is a nice touch. Who doesn't love cheese? LMAO TIPS: ask for free extra dressings when you pick up. The flavor is much better with double dressing. read more

Wow! Their steaming. This is the sixteenth location in the state. They just opened another one in Gold Coast back in August (See my review on that). This is mid size. As always service and staff is awesome. read more

Always get a good salad here. Nice location and good portion sizes. Usually order in the app and just pick up.

We love going to this Sweetgreen! Their bowls and dressings are always on point. Anita was super welcoming to us today when we visited--they always have great customer service! read more

The serving size of this salad is actually so wild for the price. I paid $18 only to receive barely a 1/3 of the bowl full. read more

Quick, efficient, and delicious! I love getting their croutons on top of a caesar salad with kale instead of romaine. You can order off of their menu, or construct a salad yourself- or do a combination. sweetgreen is my favorite spot for when I'm craving a salad, which I usually don't unless it's from sweetgreen. read more

this is the most boring food I ever had in my life. the crackers taste like bird food I got the kale caesar and some berry tea it was 18.00 $ and it tasted like grass. the Caesar dressing doesn't taste like Caesar. This is the biggest waste of time and money if you want a good salad make one yourself and if you want save money and eat something that tastes good then go to McDonald's. read more

The best sweet green with the kindest employees! They are always so helpful and patient and the food is always great

I've ordered sweetgreen a handful of times. Although it can be pricey to get the exact bowl I want, it always leaves me satisfied and content. I can't believe I am making a review for a fast food (fast casual) place. However, this needed to be brought to light and I am hoping someone associated with the Lincoln Park sweetgreen sees this. I came into the restaurant on a weekday at around ~7:30. There was 1 person ordering and no one else in line. After the person in front of me was being helped, I patiently waited to be served. An employee, who appeared to be the manager with the name tag Sara, just stood over by where the back of the kitchen is. Not taking my order, not cleaning utensils, replacing food, or making food. This didn't bother me in the moment because I wasn't in a rush and I had time to read the whole menu (which I never have). The reason I bring this up is it because adds validation to my next point. When Sara finally gets over to helping me, she makes no eye contact and in a begrudged/nasty tone asked what I want. I had a couple questions about the rice options, chicken, and costs associated with asparagus and avocado. Each one was meet with the coldest and almost mean response - almost to the point where I felt like asking if she knew me from something previously and had a problem. It was one of the wildest experiences I ever had while ordering from a food place like sweetgreen, chipotle, subway, etc. To make matters worse, once I was done checking out I heard her talking to one of the other employees as if she was in-charge or a manager. If that person is a manager with that lack of personal skills, self awareness, and congeniality I very much worry about the rest of the employees and the restaurant as a whole. I'm sure because of the labor market/shortage she will remain employed, but if I owned a place and a customer had an experience like I did, they would be immediately gone. For icing on the cake, back to my previous paragraph, when I was done ordering (after waiting 10 minutes to be helped) there is now a long line and the next 5-8 customers were impacted by her laziness (because I don't know how else to describe it). read more

Walked in at 9:45 and everything was emptied and closed - used to come all the time but was very disappointed tonight :/

the building is pretty roomy and has a few seating options, somewhat larger than a typical sweetgreen. when i stopped by, it was around 3 pm and not super busy, so i can't say anything about the quality of service during very active hours; however, the person making my salad was very kind, helpful, and open to modifications on one of the bowls. everything was great! i'll also add in that i am glad the chicken was not dry since that seems to be a common occurrence in many salad bar chains. overall, i enjoyed my experience. read more

I don't like being this person writing bad reviews ever, cause I get that people have their off days, but I have such a sour taste in my mouth after visiting this location. The lady who was making my salad the other day, her name tag said Sara, might have been one of the rudest people I have ever come across for absolutely no reason. I understand it can get hectic at sweetgreen, but I actually came when there was not much of a line behind me except for my friend who I was with (which kudos to the guy who was making her salad cause she had a pleasant experience for her first time at sweet green). Sara not only had a huge attitude with me from the start, but she was rude and talked down to me on multiple instances in that short time frame from her asking what greens I wanted all the way to check out. I ended up hating my salad because she made me so anxious throughout the entire ordering experience that I didn't even think about what I was asking for because she made it seem like I was burdening her by asking questions. I was honestly been taken aback and if I wasn't so shy, I would have called her out at the register and told her there was no need to talk to me like that after she made me feel like an absolute idiot for asking if my salad cousins be chopped. She made the most side ways expression at me and acted like she was disgusted that I would even ask such a thing and then very rudely told me I was wrong and that if I could see, she was mixing my salad. I'm very sorry I forgot that the ingredients were already chopped, but I have NEVER been spoken to that way by anyone for asking a simple question. I will not be returning to this location, which is unfortunate because it is in a good spot but I refuse to be treated that way for no reason. This experience put such a damper on my night and I hope she was just having a bad day because I don't think anyone, either as a worker or a customer, deserves to be treated the way I was today. As someone who has been in the food service industry myself, I understand having an off day, but the last thing I needed today was to get basically shamed while ordering a $20 salad at sweetgreen. read more

Overall good food, store, and employees. The music is not working for me though it's very annoying and loud.

I've been to many sweet greens both in Chicago and outside, but this one seems to have very big problems when it comes to takeout orders. They seem to put half the portions ( if at all) of what you would get when you go in the store. I am hoping this is just because it's a newer location and it will work out it's kinks. But hoping this review will get back to management because the takeout/pickup orders are horrible. I'd definitely recommend doing takeout at the other sweetgreen locations if possible. read more

Love the salads. Very disappointed that they are now ripping us off by changing their "to go" lids thereby reducing the size of their very pricey food. Tired of being taken advantage of. read more
