The food is good, but the employees seem like they don't want to be there. The employee was rude and when I paid for my order, he didn't give me my receipt and just said, "I gotta go" and left... read more

I came here on a Saturday afternoon with a friend since we were looking for a light lunch. There is ample seating both indoors and outdoors, and room to spare. SG is located right in the heart of the Mosaic among other businesses. Parking can be tricky depending on the time of day, but garage parking is close by - and it is FREE! Score! There was no line at the time, but it appeared as though the servers were not organized as a team. Usually I find that there are one or two people assembling salads and one person at the register for checkout. The server I had was preparing two salads at the same time until her coworker decided to jump in and help. While going down the line I noticed that the server was hastily assembling my salad since a line was forming. Towards the end she sloppily transferred the salad into a to-go container. I was only asked about bread on the side because another server mentioned it to the customer ahead of me. The bread is free so do not hesitate to ask for it. Once I ate my salad I immediately noticed that the ingredients were not uniformly mixed and distributed. I basically had a pile of leafy greens on top and had to dig to the bottom to find onions, tomatoes, etc. It was disappointing because I generally enjoy having SG at the other neighboring locations. read more

This is my go to place for a nice fresh salad! They have a ton of options which are all great. My favorite is the kale and goat cheese salad. I make my own based off their old menu and it includes: kale, brown rice, cucumber, goat cheese, (beats if wanted), goat cheese, tofu and balsamic vinaigrette! Absolutely fantastic! I could eat they salad 5 days a week! Perfect location to eat outside and walk around! read more

I was there Sunday October 3rd, 2021 around 4:30 pm, I ordered a Guacamole green, the guy who was working added half an avocado that had big black piece in the center, it looked bad, I asked him to cut it, first he told me "why" I told him it is bad then he took a piece not the whole thing but I told him to take more, he told me "cut it yourself" then he changed the piece for me with a one the had black piece as well and when he was smashing it in the salad he added "IT WON'T KILL YOU" which was SO SO SO RUDE TO SAY!!! You are supposed to serve good fresh greens and salads and act professionally not so rude like this. I WOULD NEVER EVER RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AND THIS BRANCH SPECIFICALLY! This was so rude and offending!! read more

Just found out the the "compostable" bowls they've been serving my salads in contain cancer causing chemicals. Recent tests performed on the containers determined that they contained high levels of fluorine, which indicates per- and polyfluoroalkyl chemicals (PFAs) were likely used to make them more durable, according to researchers. The presence of the chemicals has been linked to health problems such as kidney and testicular cancers, thyroid disorders, decreased sperm quality and pregnancy-induced hypertension. Furthermore, the chemicals don't degrade naturally in the environment. They are making compost more toxic, adding to the chemical load of the very soil and water they were supposed to help improve. WTF? read more

I am beyond disappointed how Sweetgreen has gotten so horrible in every way. My husband and I both have an app we have been customers for years. Just using my husband' s app we have spent over $1,000. During the pandemic the service has gone down in pretty much every location that we visited, mainly Merrifield and crystal city.. The chicken, sweet potatoes, etc... dry and stale. They have been messing up our orders and when go back to give feedback, we literally have been ignored. There were times where they never put dressing so when we get home we have to use our dressing. The picture is what I picked up on Saturday. It is suppose to be the chicken Honey BBQ. read more

I use to love this place but the customer service has gone down and the last two times when I go after the gym at night around 9 pm they've been out of bread. I understand they don't want to waste bread but if they're open they should ensure that they have it available. I added goat cheese to my salad and the guy added a tiny little scoop which they charge for but when they didn't have bread, you would think they would have the added charge of the goat cheese knocked off as a courtesy because it's only $1. A normal restaurant would do this but the manager and the guy who made my salad had attitude and said there wasn't anything they could offer for not having the bread that comes with the salad. From now on I'll go with my gym friends to CaVA next door instead. I don't need the attitude on top of them not having the bread. read more

I have been going to Sweetgreen in NYC for years, and when I moved down here I was excited that there was a location nearby. I order pickup and it is always ready on time, so no complaints there, but I have to say there is a significant difference in portion size from the NYC locations. I used to always feel that Sweetgreen was a great value, and I usually wouldn't even be able to finish my bowl. But at this location I am always still hungry afterwards, and I end up sad that I spend that much on my food. read more

If I didn't already love Sweetgreen (a different location), I would never come back. I get other reviewers gripes. The employees seem ill trained; they don't put in uniform amounts of the ingredients; they weren't friendly; and they put in waaaaaay too little lettuce. The salads at this location are like 1/2 the size of other locations. It makes for an overall shittier experience where you the customer have to micromanage them to make sure you get a decently made salad or, if you don't, you just get a shitty salad that leaves a bad taste in your mouth which is why people are bitching that it's "too expensive" because, for a shitty salad, it is. But if you got a good salad with sunny service (like at other locations), you would think it justifies he price. Do yourself a favor, just hit up a different location of Sweetgreen and don't let this one ruin your experience. It's actually a good restaurant - just not this shitty location. read more

Food is good, but the people who work here are inconsistent. The girl who was portioning my ingredients had to ask me what else was in it. And she clearly didn't know how much of each ingredient to put in because her fellow coworkers had to correct her multiple times. And I'm confused whether my meal comes with bread or if it is extra, because last time I was offered it for free and this time it was never offered, and I see there's no bread with my meal :( Mostly I'm not giving a good rating because they ran out of beets and didn't tell me until halfway through making my meal, which is the main reason I chose that meal. So I had to switch my order. Gotta have my beets! read more

The salad and soup I got was good, but it definitely was not $17 good... I think for that price, i could have gotten lunch at BOTH chipotle (across the street) AND Cave Mezza Grill (next door). I use LevelUP (and they have a sweetgreen app which is pretty much the same thing), so my purchase after the 5$ discount was $12, but I still think $12 is too much for a soup and salad from a "fast food" establishment. read more

In a lot of my reviews on restaurants I usually make some comment about the salads. I'm not a vegitarian, and I am not a small eater, but there is something that is so wonderful about a nice, big, need-a-toothpick-when finished salad. So behold- sweetgreen. These are some serious salads. Any of the menu selections are a good bet. Personally I am in love with the "Beets Don't Kale My Vibe" and the "Hummus Tahina".They offer up tons of variations and variety was well. In the Hummus Tahina they give you the option of mixing the hummus in (like a dressing) or having it on top (so you can dip your little pita chips in it). Feel free to add in as many proteins as you like for an upcharge of course, and obviously if you're feeling creative you can create your own salad too. You can make them as healthy and green, or as loaded as you like, and all salads come with the option of a big piece of bread. The staff has always been great on all my trips here, and the line moves very quickly. Great for a light dinner or lunch drop in. The house made beverages are great, but at 3$ for a 12oz cup I am looking for a little more. There are a large selection of bottled beverages as well. Like many other people noted- salads are a little pricey, but for some reason this doesn't bother me too much once I have that huge bowl in front of me..nomnomnomnom read more

Big fan of Sweetgreen, not so much the Merrifield location. Customer service seriously needs improvement. They meander behind the counter, uncaring that there are people waiting. On my very last visit I made a comment about the portion size. The staff had the nerve to talk back at me, then proceeded to mumble under his breath. Hey buddy, I eat at Sweetgreen once a week, do not take me for a fool. Sweetgreen makes a decent salad but I would skip this location. I have no interest in a business that utterly fails at customer service. read more

Such a good salad place. Super consistent and delicious. It is kinda expensive but they give you a lot of food. It's super clean and everyone is very friendly. read more

Newly opened in Merrifield, Sweetgreen offers every combination of salad imaginable to man! You can go with their "special of the month," the pre-set menu, or create your own salad or wrap. I personally like to make my own (base, up to 4 toppings, optional meat, choice of dressing, free wheat french bread). My favorite is the arugula with quinoa and roast chicken... so refreshing and healthy! However, $10/salad can be pretty hefty... I guess being healthy always comes at a price. They also offer iced teas and frozen yogurt and the employees definitely know what they're talking about if you have any questions! Tip: If you download the Sweetgreen app and save your CC info, you get $5 off your first order and rewards depending on how often you come! read more

I like this salad place. One of my favourite salad places actually. The prices are reasonable. A salad entree that they offer is filling for a meal. The various options they have are good. The vinegarette dressings makes it much better. The hydrating juice options that they have are healthy and interesting as well. I just have one complain. They don't have any branches in the Germantown, Clarksburg, Gaithersburg MD area who I would love to have one. read more

Hello... I live close to this place...and work close to this place. I can make you a salad for half the price of this place....heck I'll throw dessert if you'd like. Half the price! what do you say? ........ read more

I like the idea of a protein packed salad for lunch, it sounds great. Eating healthy while getting full or satiated isn't easy. The execution falls short though in my opinion and it's because of the cost. A regular salad is around $12, if you were to add extra protein you're now looking at a $15 salad. There are better options for lunch for the area, the only thing this place has over its neighbors is that there's never a long line. read more

First time here not impressed. First off, the guy who took my order really looked like he didn't want to be there. The ingredients didn't look fresh, the avocado had brown spots so I didn't get that. It's overpriced. I could get the same salad with more ingredients at the grocery store. But the worst part? I got a piece of plastic in my Salad! I was grossed out and threw out my Salad. I will not be trying this place again read more

If only I had a sweetgreen by my house. I was visiting the area and wanted something fresh. I can not remember what I ordered but it was amazing. I don't believe you could go wrong with the menu options. It wasn't super crowded when I ordered my food, but it became crowded by the time I sat down to eat. read more

Great service! Yessica explained everything to me and made it such a fun experience. I brought both kids and they had fun watching them make the food. I will say they no longer accept cash so be prepared. I highly recommend this place for fresh and delicious food! read more

Love this place could eat it every day!! I work at Xsport Merrifield and it's so great to have a complete and fresh salad.

Living the sweetlife! Thank you Sweetgreen for feeding me today. Sweetgreen participated in a Yelp event tonight and were awesome host. They salads were wonderful. So many fresh options to put in my salad, to include several different types of protein. If I crave salad, I will definitely come to sweetgreen. And the service was great as well. read more

See all

Horrible customer service at this location. Employees don't care about customer service or understand. The employee told me extra meat was $2 and I said okay and she barely gave me anything and I let her know and then upon check out she said it was two servings of extra meat and tried charging me $6 instead of $2. The portion sizes have gotten so small. I will take my money elsewhere. read more

I literally like everything here! My go to is the kale caesar. So fresh and hearty at a caloric discount. The spicy sabzi and rad Thai and guacamole greens are also very good. Basically everything on their menu rocks, service is fast, and they source locally. Their seasonal salads (like the roasted turkey) arts also very good. This place is much better than chopt. read more

Their food is good but they raised their prices and I just can't justify $10-12 for a salad.... And tell me how this makes sense: Roasted turkey and fall greens salad $9.35 Greens Brussels sprouts Sweet potato Turkey Vs. Custom salad $6.35 Greens 4 ingredients (so let's say brussel sprouts, sweet potato plus 2 others) Add chicken $2.25 =$8.60 which is actually more for less So you can get the exact same thing for different prices it all depends how you order... read more

The quality of the food is good (4-star), but the prices? Wow...don't expect to walk out under $10. For a salad. It's good...but I can make one cheaper at home. And, $2.50 for an Honest Tea. I get them at Whole Foods for 1/2 the price. I really wanted to like it, but can't justify the price. read more

I've had nothing but bad experiences with the Sweetgreen in Mosaic. Multiple times I have ordered delivery through their website and not received my order until 1-2 hours after the scheduled delivery time. Extremely frustrating as I'm a nurse and this means I don't get to eat my lunch. Also have dealt with extremely bad attitudes from employees and their help line is absolutely useless. Impossible to speak with an actual person to check on the status of an order. I've tried using the texting option and it took 6 hours for someone to respond. Generally I love sweetgreen and the salads are delicious, but the delivery service is abysmal. If I return, it would only be for in person ordering. read more

Wanna pay an arm and a leg for a pretty okay salad? Well come on by! Because this place is perfect for you. I got the rad Thai, which comes with shrimp. Pro-tip... Don't order anything that comes with shrimp. My girlfriend got the guacamole greens. That was pretty good. Also, apparently girls love this place. If you're looking to meet some girls, swing on by... Preferably on a Saturday afternoon after their morning yoga. read more

Love their menu, and mostly their friendly staff. I would like to commend Yessi! I showed up a couple of times when they do not have the fish ready. She told me exactly how long it will take, and starts preparing my salad to make my wait shorter. I used to go to another business, but any time I show up close to an hour before they close, they will tell me they ran out of fish. Nice service Sweetgreen! read more

My gf and I stopped in after a fitness class (I wanted pizza but was forced into lettuce). The decor and set up is really cute, hip, and tidy, definitely a hipster hangout in Mosaic. I was a bit confused about the ordering process- some items were listed in hand-writing that was a bit too small to read, or may my eyes aren't as good as everyone else's. I also couldn't locate a hand-held menu so when it was my turn I winged it and it turned out alright! My base salad was $6 and some change which includes lettuce, veg, and a protein..or so I thought? Again, it was hard to make sense of the items listed on the boards. I opted for romaine and added cucumber, peppers, chicken, and cheese mixed in cucumber dressing..cheese is an additional charge which I wasn't aware of either at the time. My reasonable, fairly bare salad came to over $10..it's not like I was getting a chunk of chicken and cheese in every bite, it was just a little pricey for what I got. I will definitely be back and more prepared for ordering next time- the salad was quite big and lasted me for a couple hours. read more

Expensive in comparison to Panera Bread, but the salad all basic b*tches want to get when they want to be fit and feel beautiful on the inside (digestive system-wise). I'm absolutely in love with their Parmesan crisp, with a grilled chicken salad. It's really good combining a bunch of things you like to make it seem healthy. I'm not really sure if it is healthy, since I add a lot of the Parmesan crisp and pita chips on there :p But good stuff! read more

Salad in and of itself was a destination drive for me. The non-present help at 1:45pm on 12/23/2014 was as much as speaking to a box of rocks. Complete apathy with me, her job and really put this place low on my salad destinations in the future... Perhaps in the summer when she is sure to have quit or fired by then. Salad-1. Help-0 read more

I love that a Sweetgreen opened so close to where I live! I was a little intimidated by the menu at first. (Also, I've always been a little suspicious of healthy food in general, namely that I think it will never taste good, but I'm glad to find out I was wrong!) The staff here is always friendly and really helpful when I ask questions. I've never had a bad meal here and I love that they feature a different salad every month. read more

I decided to give this place another try since it was so popular with others. I went around lunch time and the place was starting to pick up. The line wasn't out the door by the time I walked in but it was getting there. It only took about five minutes to get to the front of the line. I ended up getting the avocado greens again since that is what I had the first time I came in. The process was fairly quick and I decided to go with heavy dressing this time. Since it was decent outside I went and ate at a bench. The salad was packed in there this time and was full of chicken and greens. The avocado was sliced up well so there were chucks of it everywhere. There wasn't a ton of lime in it this time which was great. It tasted really great, I now understand why people keep coming back to it. Next time I come I'll try the rad Thai. read more

Always a healthy treat! Love this place!

We -- a party of three -- were all happy with our choices of healthy, hearty salads served with a slice of whole grain baguette. Service was quick, perhaps because they were not very busy on Christmas Eve. Limited seating so we took our lunches "to go." read more
