    Island Green Smoothie sub mango for blueberries no ginger
    Christa F.

    Shout out to the young lady who remade my smoothie today! I ordered through the app and was just literally a few minutes away, but could not get away when I thought I could so I was late getting to the store to pick up my order and it was all on me. When I got to the store, I apologized and the young lady said it's okay. Then she said try it and if it's watered down, let me know and I'll remake it which she actually did. I'm so grateful she was very nice.

    Not my drink...

    This is the worse place to go, every single time they mess up my order and the ladies are soooo rude, there's this African American girl that has long braids, I told her my order was wrong she just ignored me and turned around and kept working on other orders, now I have to take this smoothie that has bananas and it's not even my order. She's been so rude to everyone that was before me and her face and they way she throws the drinks is horrible. Please avoid this place the ambiance is so bad. You go in there and the energy is so negative everyone with angry faces. I'm not sure if it's because they're being mistreated by their boss but it has to chance. It's been like this for a long time.

    Santa Fe chicken quesadilla
    Cari L.

    I had no idea they served food as well. Santa Fe chicken is just so-so. With entrée your provided kale salad, fresh fruit (pic of apple) and chips. I don't like kale and my daughter and I are both allergic to fresh apples believe it or not. So we went with the chips and I did not receive them. I started eating Just as I remembered I did not post review. This is Santa Fe chicken quesadilla.. Hate to bring it up again but I got no side.. I do wish I had a tropical smoothie to wash this down with. The salsa on the side is a nice flavorful yet spicy and chunky sauce.. Again, never knew that they sold food other than smoothies so Can't really recommend food as this is my first meal ever and my daughter raves about the hummus wrap. I am only giving it a lower score because I don't have my side. BTW this order was a pick up order. Half of it was ready and half was not when my friend arrived to pick it up. Not complaining just stating the facts. Maybe friend was complaining to me so that is why it is mentioned. I would like a little bit of money back for not receiving aside or at least throw in a smoothie - not a kale one LOL. If there were 4 1/2 stars I would give it that. Again surprised that this place served food. It's a shame that the title is throwing away all of their menu items. I would order again but add different sides because well just because and I sure would like a smoothie or something to wash the spicy sauce down with. It is really good though

    Da' Smoothies - Jetty Punch was very nice.

    Now for something completely different, which for us, is pretty much what this place is about. We used our friends at Dining Dash to deliver an order from this place (usual excellent job), our very first experience with their offerings, probably a one and done thing. We tried a Smoothie and 1/2 Salad for $7.49 (Kiwi Quencher & Loaded Spinach Salad), a Smoothie and 1/2 Sandwich for $7.49 (Jetty Punch & Ultimate Club), 3 Tacos for $11.99 (Thai Chili Steak, Cilantro Lime Fish, & Korean BBQ Steak) and added a Rockin' Raspberry Smoothie, and finally, a Jamaican Jerk Chicken Wrap for $6.99. The smoothies are well sized (24 OZ), and while none of the 3 were bad, only the Jetty Punch really seemed packed with flavor, would definitely re-order that one. Other than the Spinach Salad (which was quite nice), none of the food items really impressed, with the Ultimate Club being especially uninspired and bland - the bread was thick and lacked flavor, the turkey was of the pressed variety, which says it all. The tacos weren't bad, but I wouldn't consider this as a destination spot for tacos either. The Jamaican Jerk Chicken was just ok, no re-order. Smoothies were very good to just ok, the food was mostly unsatisfying and disappointing, definitely would not come here to pick up a sandwich or a wrap. One of those "you don't know till you try" places - now we know.

    A crappy quesadilla.  Horrible employee who thought this was acceptable.
    David S.

    I don't know what it worse, this order or the employee who put it together and thought it was ok. Either way both are poor and need to be better.

    Tasty, accurate smoothies with a reasonable wait time. The smoothies are delicious and I love how they offer kids smoothies. Hopefully they come out with more kids flavors soon or offer different sizes of the other smoothies. It was our first time visiting this location and overall it was pretty typical for tropical smoothie cafes. The wait time was long but reasonable and the flavorful smoothies were made accurately. Favorites include the Acai Berry Boost and Detox Island Green.

All of the employees we encountered were very friendly. Ally was our server and was AMAZING. We told her it was our first time there and she gave us some great recommendations. They also made a really good margarita and I am not typically a fan of traditional margaritas. The food and drink recommendations she made for the table were great, and the onion rings are definitely the best ones we've had in the area since relocating here. Both sandwiches we had were great. The Chicken Philly had a little bit of a kick to it, which made it a nice change from usual Philly sandwiches and the Cuban was different from a traditional Cuban as it had some barbecue sauce on it. It was a little different for me at first, but I ended up really liking it. Both salads were pretty big and both people really liked the salads. The person that got the blackened grouper Baja salad thought that the grouper was fabulous, seasoned perfectly and loved the salad overall. This will definitely be a place added to our usual rotations...

Great casual atmosphere, the staff have really come into their own, and the food is simple but has little touches that often make it a small cut above most other sports bar type places around. My favorite things to order are the smashburgers, chicken philly (almost as good as the one at Old Town, a restaurant also belonging to this same owner), and now the fish and chips. I decided to get those last night, and the fish was two good size thick cod filets, fried and breaded perfectly. The fish was flaky and tender, the remoulade it came with really elevated it, I'm glad it was not plain tartar sauce (gross). The appetizer favorite here is the pulled pork nachos for me, otherwise, we usually just get meals. If I had one small complaint, it's that the tea is usually brewed pretty weak. Steep it a little longer, and you've got me fully hooked.

Part of that is due to its proximity to area businesses although the friendliness of the folks working here certainly helps too. The same family that owned Jack's Corner near UNCG owns this place. In light of that and of how long they've been around, I really wanted to like Wallstreet Deli. Ultimately, I found it to be solid if not impressive. Though Wallstreet bills itself as a New York-style deli, it really isn't much of one, and if you head in expecting that experience, you'll leave disappointed. Approach it as a sandwich shop with some Mediterranean/Middle Eastern offerings, however, and it acquits itself much better. The menu features hot and cold sandwiches, burgers, salads, plus souvlakis, gyros, kababs, and falafel. I was craving a cheesesteak, and the steak and cheese combo with fries fit the bill nicely. Even after adding mushrooms (an upcharge), it still came out under $15 pre-tax. I took it to go and found it satisfying. The sandwich offered a decent amount of meat and plenty of flavor. The fries were OK - not as crisp as they could be but not underdone or undersalted - though I would probably skip them on a future visit. Wallstreet Deli is a fast, friendly, fairly tasty lunch option for anyone in the vicinity of the airport, but take proximity out of the equation, and you can find better Mediterranean and better sandwiches elsewhere in town.

    This place remains one of my favorite weekday lunch hidden gems in Greensboro! Hours are limited…read morebecause it mainly serves the industrial area that it is hidden in the middle of, but if it works for your schedule to come here, you really should. They make a lot of their sides from scratch, and bake their own breads. Everything is made to order, so be ready for a short wait, but know that it is worth it. To get here, once you're on Airpark road, take your second right. If you hit the traffic circle you've gone too far. After taking that right, drive to the end of the straightaway and you'll be confronted with a large parking lot on the right. Spring Garden Bakery is in the back right corner. The restaurant is clean. Minimally appointed. Don't expect comfy chairs, they use the industrial grade metal ones. No one is staying here very long so that is fine. Menus are on the counter as you approach the register, and photos are on Yelp if you want to look first. They have a wide selection of sandwiches, salads, burgers, and daily specials. Drinks are either brewed tea, or canned/bottled beverages. I have grown particularly fond of their club sandwich. It comes with a lot of meat on it, and they're happy to sub in Honey Mustard for mayo, which is the way I prefer it. Another thing that I love here, when they have fried okra, GO FOR IT. It appears to be hand-breaded and fried to order, the most recent batch I had was perfect. Golden brown, crispy outside, tender okra inside. Yum.

I arrived shortly after 1 and the place only had 2 customers so I don't know when their "rush" time might be. If you're in the area during their hours, I encourage you to try them out.

    Delicious sandwiches. It's as simple as that…read more I was hungry when I visited, so I ordered two. My first selection was the Saigon Classic, essentially the banh mi as it was intended. And then I also chose the New Orleans, which holds all the standard veggies and the pátê but adds some srirachi-flavored pork to the mix. Prices were reasonable and so too was the prep time. Both sandwiches were flavorful and perfect choices for lunch on a reasonably hot day. There were around nine or so tables inside the restaurant, and a few of them were dirty, though staff did get them cleaned up by the time I left. And apparently the air conditioning was on the fritz, so the dining environment wasn't especially comfortable, though it was tolerable. Were it not for those issues, I'd probably go with a full five stars here. I'll definitely be back. And I wish we could get a proper banh mi like these over in Winston (where no one even seems to know what pátê is, much less that it belongs on these sandwiches), because I'd be a frequent customer.
