    I hate to be this person because I know things can happen...but this took the cake for me being that I've never experienced this before. I love Vinaigrette which is why it hurts me to make this review. I went today to get my usual salad, GREAT customer service. I drove about 35 minutes home to eat and I barely got midway into my salad and found a nice size dead fly. I was immediately disgusted. Threw my entire salad away and I called. I got the manager who didn't seem that bothered by my complaint. He told me to come back tomorrow to get a free salad. At this point I will not be returning back to this location so I don't want anything other than my money back. I advised him I'd rather have my money back so he then seemed short with me asked for my name and that was it. No apology (that I could hear) or any sincere concern of the establishment he's running. Oh I did send him a picture as well that he requested and no follow up text.

    This place is awesome!! It's like subway for salads. They have so many options for a build your own salad. My favorite was the bluegrass blackberry salad. The apple chips were the best part. I wish they had goat cheese as an option though. I'll definitely be coming back!!

    My friend Lukas was talking about this place at work so after leaving the bookstore I thought I would give it a try. Walking in you're presenting with an esthetically appealing atmosphere. The menu is clearly visible behind the counter and I appreciate the simplicity of it all. They have salads showcasing lpcal ingredients, grain bowls, soups, specialty lemonades along with other refreshments. I chose the Pharoah Bowl. Man it was fresh and delicious. Farro, cucumbers, chickpeas, tomatoes, romaine and olives mixed together. You can add a protein for an additional charge. I chose chicken and let me say I ATE EVERY BITE!! I got a cup of tomato soup to go. I did eat it once I got home (Shopping at Kirkland's zonked me lol) and it is smack your mama good! I will most definitely go back because the blackberry salad caught my eye. Staff was very welcoming!!! Glad to have a cool place like this in Louisville.

    This is a popular lunch spot off Hurstbourne that serves salad made to order, soup and grain bowls. They also offer seasonal lemonade, tea and Coke products. The menu offers 8-10 salad combinations but you can also do "choose your own" with any 3 toppings. Most of the salads don't come with a protein but it's offered at an up charge. I ordered the Bluegrass Blackberry salad, named primarily for its blackberry vinaigrette dressing because the fruit used is strawberries. I opted not to get the red onion and was offered another topping of choice. I added edamame but next time will add more strawberries. They also gave me a side of honey balsamic dressing. It's also very good but much thicker and stronger -- don't dump it on! My only reason to deduct a star ... it's expensive. A basic salad bowl is $8 but protein toppings are another $2-3, then add a drink, etc. If my family of 4 are here the bill would be $50-60! For salad! But I'll be back ... by my

    I hate to say my first time here will probably be my last one also . I wanted it to be a better choice . The staff was ok I don't know about you but I always hope for better than ok. Unlabeled drink despisers added to the experience. Needing to ask what flavor is in each one . The salad I chose was the Maki shrimp with a cup of potato soup. I was disappointed that a Wendy's salad was so much better in presentation than a restaurant that specializes in salads. Nothing gave me a desire to return.

    Yum!! My first time here. The menu is full of great options. I had the Santorini. It's a Greek salad with chopped romaine lettuce, sliced red onion, feta cheese, chickpeas, quinoa, cucumber and pita chips with a lemon juice and olive oil dressing. I had them leave out the red pepper and grape tomatoes. The young lady who made it listened to my concern about cross contamination from shrimp the serve and went out of her way to make mine cleanly and safely. Much appreciated! This salad was light and delicious but satisfying. Salad and a fountain drink for about $12. Definitely coming back!

    Partly eaten superfood salad with white chili ($9)
    Zain K.

    Louisville is notably short on salad bars (whether the build-your-own or choose-to-order kind), and it's a little odd to find the best one in town on the corner of Shelbyville and Hurstborne. They seem to be doing alright, though, which is a pleasant surprise. The half superfood salad with a cup of white chili is one of my fave sub-$10 lunches in Lou. The ingredients are fresh, the dressing light and tasty (tip: get it on the side), the chili is rich, and the bread is soft. The chili could stand to be a little less salty - but this is KY, and it could be worse.

Our Servers tonight were Sophia, Elsie, Haylie, and Logan. They worked very well together. You could build your own salads, it comes with 2 Greens, 4 Fruits & Veggies, 1 Dressing, 1 Crunch. There are 19 different Salads, 19 wraps, 19 grain bowls, on their menu! One person would put the lettuces into the salad bowl and adds the protein (Chicken, Salmon, Shrimp, and Chicken Salad, and Smoked Pimento) The next step was to add more to the salad. The bowls were filled with so many items. Strawberries, cranberries, potato sticks, cheese, sunflower seeds, grapes, just about anything! They topped the salads with dressing or you could just get the dressing on the side. They had lots of sodas, juices, waters, and fountain drinks. The restaurant was really clean and they have children's meals. Grilled Cheese with apple slices. Kids Plates and Kids Bowls. The staff stayed busy the whole time we were in there, but the lines flowed quickly. The restaurant was low volume. It was really relaxing. Robyn

Nothing to complain about in particular and nothing to praise, but for almost $14.50 (almost $17 if you DoorDash not including fees) I expect more from food in general, especially in Louisville. It's a very healthy meal that left me wishing for more and also wishing that salads weren't so overpriced. Perhaps my opinion will change after trying a different order.

The colorful, fun signage actually made me feel more at ease, especially since "build-your-own" spots can feel a little overwhelming at first. I appreciated that they also had pre-made menu options for those of us who don't want to think too hard. I went with the Chicken Chipotle + Tortilla broth, and my boyfriend ordered a steak bowl, both were fresh, flavorful, and honestly hit the spot. Service: Smooth and welcoming Food: Fresh, healthy, and well-seasoned Environment: Clean, bright, and easy to navigate Now, the total came to $34.81, which is a bit on the pricier side, but in today's economy, that's becoming the norm. And for where I am in my health journey, being intentional about what I put into my body matters more than anything. For me, it was worth it. The Verdict: Worth it for a fresh, healthy option, especially when you want something quick but still aligned with your goals. If you're in the Louisville area, I'd definitely recommend checking out this spot, it's the only one here, and it delivers.

Their burgers are "chicken" burgers or veggie. The promotion of burgers is confusing and a little disappointing. Chicken tender combos come with fries, one side and drink. The chicken burger was also tenders but tossed on a bun with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and mayo. Several sauces are offered for dipping your chicken. The combo #1 was a good value. The tenders were hot and had enough peppering to make the flavor interesting. We enjoyed the fries, which reminded us of eating at school ballparks. Sides are small but offer a few bites and I liked the slaw (although it looked different than the menu image). My husband shared the green beans were peppery. My Fanta lacked flavor. The chicken burger was enjoyed by my son but since he didn't really want the toppings, he basically had the same meal as my combo #1 for more money and without the side. Service was helpful and polite. We appreciated them checking on us and being willing to offer recommendations. They have plenty of parking in a private lot and several tables inside. Cute decor. When walking in, the space didn't smell great -- likely a plumbing issue because it otherwise appeared very clean and organized. Drive thru also available. I'd come back for a quick bite of chicken tenders or pick up, but the ambience doesn't quite hit for it being at the top of our family hang out.

It doesn't feel like Louisville at all. The place was busy. Atmosphere was inviting. I could definitely hang out there while I eat. I'll try some more of their dishes but I do have a few things to note. The cost: It's downtown so an expectation of higher prices is expected. They do give you a decent portion size but with other options and the ultimate option of bringing your lunch with you, it's going to be hard for me to revisit this place in the future. I do hope I can give their breakfast a try if I'm down there early enough. Even with their breakfast, it better be DOUBLE GOOD because the PNC building has breakfast nearby and you can have an excellent breakfast there for 5-10 bucks. The food: Achiote Chicken Taco Bowl - White rice. Achiote Chicken Thigh. Diced tomato. Monterrey jack cheese. Sour Cream. Tortilla Chips. Avo smash. Cilantro. Charred pepper ranch. It was good but nothing really stuck out about it. Bites had flavor but eventually it turned into a bland dish. I ended up saving it for later time leftovers... but when trying to eat it later on in the day, it had that same bland taste that developed. I think the biggest issue with it was all the smashed avocado. It definitely didn't need so much. It ended up overpowering all the other flavors. It's a good spot to change it up from other options downtown but I can't rave about it until I come across my 'go-to' dish here at some point.
