Chipotle bbq chicken is my go to! Either in the salad or as a plate. If I go with the plate option, I normally get mashed potatoes too because they're sooo good + whatever salad I'm in the mood for. Both the plates and salads are quite filling & decently portioned. They have a small selection of fresh juices too which I like. I believe the flavors vary but today I got the green monster and I thought it was pretty good and went well with my chipotle chicken salad. Salad + juice = ~$18 yup pretty pricy.. The service is good. They have trackers similar to Mendocino, so they can find wherever you're sitting and bring you the food. It's CASHLESS here so make sure to have your credit card or Apple Pay ready. It gets pretty busy at lunch on the week days so be sure to come a bit earlier if you're in a rush, but they get the food out to you pretty quickly! read more

I love tender greens so much! This location is a distinct credit card only location for faster service. The parking in this plaza is terrible. You might be better off parking in the structure and taking a walk to the restaurant. The waitress who took my order was very nice. I got my food during the lunch rush so the wait was about 15 min. Everything was so delicious. I got the salt and pepper chicken with mixed veggies and subbed the tomato soup instead on salad. Great spot for lunch! read more

I've been a consistent Tender Greens customer for years now! This was my first time trying a new Tender Greens location other than Irvine. The interior for this Tender Greens looks modern and new compared to other locations. Note that it's very BUSY during peak hours like lunch, due to all the corporates near by. Also, they don't take cash! It's card only. I wasn't use to the service type at this location. Basically, you order your food first and then pay. You can sit wherever you like and then the server will bring the food TO you. Their menu can be limited of variety, but you can customize your hot plates accordingly. Your choice of protein, greens, and side with a grilled herb crostini! | My Order | HERB BRUSHED TUNA ($13) MSC certified, grilled rare, sea salt, lemon, CA Olive Ranch olive oil. For my greens, I got the Tender Greens Salad, which is Scarborough Farms greens with sherry vinaigrette. For my side, I got mashed potatoes. Overall, it was very good! The only thing was that it was on the saltier side due to the amount of sea salt that was added on my meal. Portions aren't big, but decent. It will fill you up, without filling too stuffed. Overall, I give this Tender Greens location a 3.5 out of 5 stars. I really like Tender Greens, but their portions are a hit/miss and is inconsistent between different locations. Good option for lunch food! read more

Tender Greens - Herb Bushed Tuna - New American Near Me - El Segundo, California

I'll say this up front - it is noisy in here, lots of kids running around, general commotion. This is a rather family - friendly location of this chain, and whether or not you like that, it's best to know beforehand. Also, parking is increasingly a hassle at this cluster of restaurants and offices which is filling up with tenants. The Chipotle BBQ Chicken Salad was good, typically tasty for Tender Greens. The service was a bit slow, but friendly. You're looking at about $13 out the door for dinner, which is cheaper than a sit down, waiter-served place and the food is about as good. So, if you're in the mood it hits the spot, but I prefer the locations in Torrance and Studio City for ambiance. read more

I come here at least twice a week for lunch because it's within walking distance from my work. I always order the steak plate with mashed potatoes and romaine lettuce (Caesar salad). Today, I switched it up and ordered the Salt and Pepper Chicken Plate and I regret it. The chicken had some bites that were amazing and the flavor was perfect but some bites were just fatty. That being said, the only reason why I'm giving it 4 stars is simply based on the Salt and Pepper Chicken. I will be returning just as often for the Steak!! The Mashed Potatoes: 10/10. A must get. Caesar Salad: I dream of this salad sometimes. Agua Fresca: I've only recently been getting this. Worth every penny. TIP: Get the app! You get a free cookie and drink for joining! read more

So disappointed. There's no way the food here is held at serve safe temperatures. They don't cook it fresh. They hold it after it's cooked until a customer walks in. My whole dish was cold and chicken was SO dry... I mean chew it for a whole minute dry, and I don't mean warm, I mean cold. The customer service, however, was awesome. The staff traded my protein for another kind. Still, I wouldn't pay another $14 for pre-cooked chicken and cold veggies :( I'm so sad.. I live down the street and was really rooting for a quick healthy go-to as a local. read more

Tender Greens - Salt and Pepper Chicken Plate - New American Near Me - El Segundo, California

Newly opened up tender greens in El Segundo! I ordered online ahead of time since I knew it would be crowded due to many business around taking lunch at the same time. I ordered the Falafel with grilled veggies and mashed potatoes. Everything was good, nothing to rave about. The decor of the place is nice. Great for group dining (order at the counter and sit wherever). read more

First time at Tender green. Funny I was a bit nervous try this place out because of the name. Started my Pescatarian diet and been pretty strict on it, really didn't think this place had any non-meat food item, which I was totally wrong. I got myself the Grilled Salmon, with Kale & Brown Rice! Delicious ! Finished my whole plate! Definitely coming back read more

I have to admit I have never been to any of their locations and I kinda regret not knowing about this place before. I came here during the soft opening and loved it! The friend chicken is delicious, crispy and juicy. The tender green salad tasted fresh and delicious too. The staff are friendly and helpful. The ambience is also nice but it somewhat gets loud in the interior dining area, however, it is quieter outside the heated patio dining area. I look forward to coming back and try the other food on their menu. I highly suggest this place other food lovers who are looking for something light and yummy! read more

Worst Tender Green experience I've ever had avoid this location. 1 dirty water cups 2 brought out wrong order 3 replaced with dry and cold "right" order 4 stale bread, dry chicken My only conclusion is bad management because in general TG is pretty good. And let me be clear the staff was polite and on top of the customers so it seems like work flow and process errors. read more

Great food, always consistent. All the staff is great especially Silvia. She's been our favorite since she started working there. We enjoy the cleanliness and the family friendly music played. Low levels and not blaring. read more

Im being very generous with giving Tender Greens 2 stars and it's purely out of respect for the people who work there as I have no complaints about the quality of staff service. I was introduced to Tender Greens about 5 years, the Santa Monica location in particular. I remember eating there and thinking "Wow, this place is awesome!". The food quality was great (taste and quantity) and I would go back there 2 times a week at a minimum. I was a regular at the Santa Monica and Marina Del Rey locations. Those were the good days! Suddenly, the quantity started getting decreased, then the quality started suffering as well. I thought it was just temporary and Tender Greens would address that. Well - l was wrong. They've been on a downfall ever since. The last 4 times I've gone to eat at Tender Greens, whether that is the Marina Del Rey location or the El Segundo one, I always go for the chicken plate. All 4 of those times, the chicken has been more dry than my sex life the past 2 months. And that's AWFULLY dry! It's as if they gave me chicken that was cooked 4-5 hours ago. And to add to that, the quantity is shameful. I'm pretty sure this is all attributed to an effort to cut down costs, but the difference is VERY noticeable. Tender Greens - shame on you for losing a loyal customer. Honestly, I'd rather start going to Urban Plates from now on who has fresher food. I hope you make some changes and get back to the quality that made Tender Greens so great, and I'll be the first one back on the bandwagon. read more

First time here. Service was very quick. The food was so fresh. I enjoyed my shrimp bowl very much and the crostini was excellent!!! Also their drink choices very refreshing really enjoyed it! read more

Silva needs a raise! I swear this woman is a saint. I just wanna hug her. She is so personable and kind. It's the small things.... Thanks for the yummy food! Always love coming back not just the people but the food. read more

The food was good but they really need to work on the logistics at this location. I have been to other Tender Greens locations countless times and have always had great experiences. Unlike other Tender Greens where you order at the front and walk down the line and pick up your food at the register, at this location you order everything upfront and get a number to put at your table. I'm not too sure what happened but they totally forgot my order. My friend received her food and after waiting a long time I saw everyone else in the restaurant who came in after me get their food. Finally someone came by and asked me what I ordered and I saw them walk back to the kitchen and put in my order. After that it still took awhile to get my food. The food itself was up to par, but everything just felt disorganized, it seems like other tables were having issues with their orders as well. Also, the indoor seating area has a weird design. There's like one big round table in the middle taking up all the space and then side tables jammed around the perimeter. read more

If you wanna keep it basic, choose From their hot plates, salad, or sandwiches. I normally get a hot plate: chipotle barbecue chicken tender greens salad and mashed potatoes and or side mix veggies with a mint lemonade. If you want to mix it up check out the "chef specials"... they are always very interesting and haven't let me down yet.. Word of the wise: they tend to get very busy around the lunch hour so order accordingly. read more

This tender greens is delicious, fast, and the food leaves you feeling healthy. There is a particularly standout aspect of this restaurant as well. Her name is Sylvia, and she is legitimately an angel. Sylvia helps bring out the food and busks the tables, and she brings so much love, joy, and care to her job. She makes all her customers feel so special. She elevates the experience of this fast-casual restaurant and is a huge reason why we keep returning. She greets everyone with a warm smile, and is just so sweet and caring. We feel like we are eating at a beloved family member's home because of her. The management team would do well to take care of her - she really is a gem! read more

Well, lousy half-cold food. Bad service (except the bus girl was terrific). It's like they made the food an hour ago. Burnt bread. Also annoying music. I think this place used to be a lot better. read more

Brittany and the Manager saved the day. I had a large # of out-of-the area & state employees come to our El Segundo office for an impromptu meeting. I called Tender Greens crossing my finger that they can make a large order by noon. THANKFULLY they came thru and I became the fav person of the day. Not to mention - everyone enjoyed the food!!! Thanks for always coming thru for the community. read more

I have now been here twice. I find the menu quite limiting and the portions somewhat small. I know I am supposed to be eating healthy here, but I seem to still be hungry after a full meal. The food is high quality and so is the dining experience. I did have an issue where my little slice of toasted bread, that came with a delicious nicoise salad, was stale. Other than that, salad was delicious. I warn the men, you might need more than a meal here. read more

Went for lunch with a friend today and had a great experience eating here! So amazing! The restaurant is super lit with windows everywhere, clean and spacious! When I went to place my order the cashier was friendly and kind to me. The food was phenomenal! It tasted fresh and delicious!! It truly was a great experience. I think I found my new favorite place to grab some lunch! read more

Tender Greens - Salt and Pepper Chicken plate with double Baby Arugula - New American Near Me - El Segundo, California

Pretty good salad place. Not a huge selection, but I went with the grilled chIcken salad. There didn't appear to be a lot of lettuce, but it turned out to actually be a good amount. The chicken on top was fantastic. Large strips of chicken with the roasted chicken still on. It almost had a caramelized consistency to it. So good. read more

I try to waste as little plastic as possible. Several times I have asked these guys if they would make the falafel plate with NO little plastic cups. I usually have to over explain myself to the people behind the counter. Sometimes the plate shows up with plastic. Sometimes it doesn't. Today however I said one sentence. The lady behind the counter was like "oh yeah no prob lemme just type that in" then when the plate showed up there were little steel reusable cups!!!! Keep it up guys! We notice the little things. read more

The Pacific Bowls were great with both salmon and katsu chicken, and their drinks are awesome! The best part of our whole experience, though, was Silvia. She was super attentive to ALL guests and was so sweet! Jason at the front was great, as well! We will definitely be going back! read more

Subject: When restaurant cooks prepare food while obviously being blindfolded I ordered the Caprese Sandwich via DoorDash My order did not have any special instructions or modifications. I ordered this particular sandwich because I have ordered it once before & it is amazing; that is, when they include all of the ingredients. The DoorDash driver arrived with my order & I felt elated because I have not had Tender Greens' Caprese Sandwich in a little over a month; & I really enjoyed the sandwich the 1st time that I ordered it. So, the DoorDash driver arrives, I thank him, as he is a professional Dasher, I take my food to my room, open the container & think that the roasted tomatoes are maybe tucked deep into the sandwich. So I lifted the top bread & no roasted tomatoes are on my sandwich. How do you prepare a CAPRESE sandwich, yet leave out the tomatoes ?? The main ingredients of anything that involves Caprese is the mozzarella, TOMATO & basil Was the cook rushing THAT much to prepare the sandwich ?? Are they that crowded that the cooks need to skip main ingredients when preparing orders? Were the customers in line going to sue Tender Greens if the cook took 10 seconds to put roasted tomatoes on my Caprese Sandwich? This is equivalent to ordering spaghetti & only receiving noodles & meatballs (no sauce); or ordering a tuna melt & not receiving tuna; or ordering a salad & not receiving greens; or ordering garlic mashed potatoes & receiving it without garlic; or ordering creamed corn & receiving the corn that has been cooked without the cream; or ordering tempura & receiving raw vegetables Tender Greens' Caprese Sandwich comes with mozzarella, roasted tomatoes, arugula, aioli, on ciabatta bread I literally have a sandwich with just arugula & mozzarella (besides the aioli & the ciabatta) I have an understanding that Tender Greens may be crowded, however, while promptness is important, so is attention to detail and PAYING ATTENTION Yes, I can order again using the credits that Door Dash offered, however, that is not the point I would have to wait another hour to receive my order. When you order food & receive your food, don't you want to eat your food the first time you receive your food? read more

Tender Greens - Caprese Sandwich with the roasted tomatoes missing. Yuck. I am only eating this because I am hungry - New American Near Me - El Segundo, California

Not impressed with this tender greens at all ! The only thing positive was the friendly workers and new clean location. We have came here 2 times now and ordered the bbq chicken and fried chicken plate with mashed potatoes and a salad. The chicken was a small piece mostly fatty (as shown in the picture I will post) and seemed undercooked . I had gotten this order to go so could not return it . Completely unacceptable for a restaurant like tender greens . The fried chicken was better but not worth the price for a very small portion and mostly thigh meat. The mashed potatoes were cold and the salad was just some spinach on my plate. Nothing else was in it. Very small portions for the price . No one else I was with enjoyed there food either . I am hoping this location gets it together as I truly love tender greens . I will stick to the Culver City location if not . read more

Horrible experience and food today! We had to go eat again somewhere else just to change the taste of their food. I ordered S&P chicken with salad and veggies. The chicken was weird looking and questionable. I only ate one piece which looked ok and we were all starving. The kids cheese quesadilla was dry hard and looks like it was old and just reheated, the kids didn't touch them! They forgot to punch in the side order of chicken for the kids (although we had a discussion with cashier about it being extra cost and we said it's fine). The cashier was too chilled that she forgot to punch it in when we asked about the missing kids chicken! And also when I told her the food was horrible (zero care in the world)!!! Salad had drops of dressing on it (I had to ask for extra on the side)! The portion has gone down especially for the price you pay!! I think the French fries was only 8fries! The salmon piece was small too! Again horrible horrible experience and food! We won't be going back there again! and they need to WORK on their QUALITY CONTROL big time! It's no joke to serve bad quality and questionable food!! read more

$13 for the Harvest Chicken Salad...there was a 3" black hair on my salad when it arrived. I took it back to the kitchen and asked them to remake it. Did not receive any apology for that mistake. Look, I know it can happen, but a manager should have come over and apologized it's just a good business practice. The second salad had much less of the ingredients than the first salad. Very inconsistent. Half of the chicken on the second salad was inedible. It was stuff that can't even be chewed. I also asked for some lemon to go with the $2.75 bland agua fresca. I was told "somebody is going to have to cut some up" and I never received any lemon. This place is very cute but with the combination of unsanitary hair on the food, apathy of the staff and cost for a meal makes me not want to go back. You can and should do better, Tender Greens. read more

Not worth the price and the portions were small. Ordered the Pacific tuna special and finished it still hungry. For $13 I could have gotten way more filling. The food wasn't memorable and considering I had two sauces for my tuna and tiny side of a salad, not as healthy as I initially thought the meal would be. Also I came in and saw tons of people in the kitchen but no cashier. Waited 15 minutes until I was able to flag someone and he then had to call over the cashier. At this point I had a line of people behind me. Last small note: their packaging isn't eco friendly or compostable. read more

If you've eaten at any of the other locations, on a consistent basis; then you'll definitely understand when I say this location FALLS SHORT! Every time I come (idk why I continually bother), but my food is NEVER up to par. They never cook my chicken per requested, and the portions are a lot less filling. I quit! read more

The two stars are because I love tender greens , but this location is seriously so slow ! Always have people waiting around for their order placed online . Literally waited about 40 mins for 2 plates today that were supposed to be ready at 12:46pm ended up leaving the location at 1:20pm and I placed my order at 12:25pm almost an hour for salmon and raw vegetables ! If you order for this location ahead of time make sure you pick up 45 mins after you have placed your order because if you pick up at the time your order says it will be ready . Be ready to wait an additional 20-25 mins. They seriously need to hire more staff or create a faster method. read more

Good, healthy food. I would give them four stars except that they waste resources excessively: their large, numerous heaters are on by default even when it is way too warm for heaters, and they use an enormous amount of single-use plastic for packaging. read more

So I've decided to order Tender Greens again today, and this is what I got. I ordered salt and pepper chicken with arugula, no cheese. I got SALMON and Kale with CHEESE. read more

Tender Greens is a great option for a healthy, filling lunch, so I was so glad when they opened closer to me in El Segundo. They're in a really up and coming area, next to a number of popular restaurants. Tender Greens has a large space and plenty of seating, including outdoor seats. I most recently got the avocado toast, which was on the specials menu. It was amazing! So much avocado on a thick piece of bread that didn't lose its shape or get soggy. It had cheese spread on top, as well as some peppers and onions. The best part was that it came with a full half a lemon on the side (I love lots of lemon sprinkled on top), so I was able to make my toast super citrusy. It was a bit pricey, but for the quality of ingredients and the general deliciousness, it's worth it for an occasional treat. read more

Love this place! The staff is friendly and inviting, and the food fresh and well made. Dawson is literally the best and the management top tier.

A bit disappointed after hearing good things about this chain. Not sure it it if because of the location, but my order of the chicken chipotle salad was a let down. The chicken was on the dry side, the romaine hearts did not look super fresh. All the tables were dirty and we had no place to sit so we ended up cleaning one of the tables ourselves. The silverware was out so we had to get one from the counter, and that fork was dirty. Then the water was out so we had to get one from the counter. Overall if the restaurant is dirty (and this location is new) then the food is going to be not as clean. Manager needs to whip this place into shape. read more

You can never go wrong with this spot! I recently ordered using their app for pick up and I accidentally tipped at 100% I called immediately after I saw my total and they graciously adjusted the tip to my normal 20% and refunded the rest as it was some sort of glitch/error when I ordered online. I am glad they were able to do it quickly and without making me feel awkward about it. read more
