I ordered the salad bowl, the portion was generous, and the ingredients were freash.“

“Loved our lunch today ! Bison stew with fry bread and bison meatballs. Hibiscus tea was awesome. Staff was so incredible. Busy and very full today. Great atmosphere.“

“The food is artisan caliber, the atmosphere is welcoming and intimate, and our family GOTO!! ❤❤❤❤❤“

“We love coming here and are never disappointed! The food is a daily set selection of healthy, filling, and delicious grains, veggies, etc, and you can pick 3 of the options or get all of them. We especially love the soup that comes with the meal as well! The “generous” size is usually more than one person can finish. The service is always very prompt and welcoming.“

“Cozy place, great location, loving people, delicious food and drinks - any time of day! 💕🌷 I stop in as often as I can.“

“From the second we approached the door to enter Local Roots we could feel the positive energy. Very clean very welcoming very nice atmosphere. The menu is amazing and has so many wonderful choices. When talking to Lauren the owner, we were inspired by her vision and passion to provide the best of the best ingredients from all locally grown farms and resources. She is dedicated to support the local businesses and economy. Our salads and soups were delicious! I highly recommend Local Roots. We will be back over and over again. Thank you Lauren and thank you to your awesome team for providing great service.“

“Cute little spot for dinner with quick service!

The good:

Bettenjan bi tahina: So flavorful! Loved all the sauces, and the dish came together beautifully — healthy food with great presentation.

The not-so-good:

Portion sizes were quite small, so we left feeling a bit unsatisfied.

The sumac spritz tasted mostly like sugar water with barely any other flavor.

Overall, a nice place if you’re looking for healthy options, though it would be great to see some chicken kebabs for non-vegetarians and falafel choices for vegetarians.“

“Great place to visit sit and relax the sandwich and wine was fantastic and a perfect meal. The crew were very nice people. I highly recommend“

“I went there for brunch and I totally recommend it. Be mindful you will have to queue outside, but if that doesn’t stop you, you will enjoy one of the best brunches I’ve had in town.
We ordered the cdmx and the special of the day. They were both really good and filling.
If they have agua fresca de mango, order it. It is delicious!!“

“the margherita pizza is so delicious. i literally only order it everytime, to the point that they know my name with my order HAHA.
super authentic, delicious, and the staff are really friendly as well. I'm lucky to be able to go as often as I do, and i love the food here so much!!“

“Incredibly nice people, and great food. Got the Chicken on the Sticks and I can definitely tell why they are known for this. It’s incredibly delicious and I’ll definitely be eating here again. Also great pricing and a good variety of choices, but not too many where you get lost in their selection.“

“Had no idea what I was missing. Ever go to a place and after your first bite you realized, ‘hmmm, guess I never really had a good chicken sandwich before’…? My eyes are open people, this place is worthy, period. Had the Sally Hurricane’s Southern Fried Chicken…and now I’m content in life. Give this place a try, plus the prices are way reasonable. Almost forgot…guys…get the fries!!! You’re on Keto? Get over it and cheat, totally worth it.“

“Cacio e Pepe pizza was fantastic. so glad I went out of my comfort zone and tried it. Their pepperoni pizza was also awesome. This is no average pizza restaurant, this is a must place for pizza when in San Francisco! Cannot wait until I can get back and dine there again!! Cannot say enough about the quality of their pizza....“

“Excellent Customer Service and Very Accommodating of my Shellfish Allergy. Ask for Michael if you need suggestions!“

“Delicious pizza, friendly people! 🙂“

“Delicious, robust and oversized salad (actually a good deal for the price), PLUS the staff couldn’t be nicer, especially front of house.
This is like a mini behind the scenes food hall, where you can order these gorgeous salads, or: soups; mezze dishes etc. It’s a fun and unique spot. So glad to have found this while visiting my hometown!“

“Delicious offerings at the SFO airport. Had a chicken pesto wrap that was outstanding for two meals for me. Friendly team member.“

“Likely the best value in the FiDi for a quick breakfast. I got the Huevos Rancheros ($8.95) add Bacon (+$3). I ordered it through Toast and picked it up. My coffee was made fresh when I got there so it would still be HOT!

The Huevos were delicious! Two eggs, both red and green salsa (one on each), black beans, and a bit of cheese. It was the perfect amount and was delicious. A hint of spice from the salsas, the eggs were well seasoned and the tortillas still crispy.

I'll be swinging by here more often than my usual bagel place in the future!“

“The salads here are amazing! I have been here several times and tried different salad each time. No matter what I get, it always tastes fresh and the portion is generous. I highly recommend this place if you want a healthy and delicious meal!“

“I’m touring a condo in Oakland for a client making an offer and I stop for a quick bite at a tiny sandwich place next to the Grand Lake Theater. OMG, Unbelievable sandwiches, smoked meats, homemade pickles, peppers🫑 and memorable pulled pork, etc. I hang out for a few minutes while Jerry makes my Cuban sandwich, and he has me try their smoked bacon, homemade meatballs, and more. Jerry’s the best and I love this place. Can’t wait to tell my client about it!! Check out Modigliani Cafe, next to the Grand Lake Theater. #modigliani #localbusiness #Oakland #localgem #restaurant #sandwich #grandlakedistrict #holeinthewall #localjoint #bayareafoodie #pamparkerproperties #realtor®“

“Im not a salad guy, but my wife loves salad.

Picked up a salad today from Green and Grains and boy was I surprised at the portion! 1 salad was enough for my wife and myself; with leftovers for later!

Got to speak to Ian for a little bit and was surprised that all the ingredient are organic and locally sourced. Including the pickled onions being made in house!

For a guy who doesn’t eat salads, I would say the Asian chicken was the best salad I’ve ever had!

Going to try their sandwiches on the next visit!

10/10“

“This is the bees knees. Super good greens and super cool staff. Really into what they are trying to promote here. Def keep it going 💜💜💜💜“

“I love the food, the music the Ambiance, did I say the food?!“

“The food was phenomenal and the service was the best I’ve had since moving to East Bay! Had the pleasure of talking to one of the owners for awhile, and he told us a lot about the food and his + his partner’s connection to it/the restaurant/Cambodia. Can’t go wrong ordering anything there but the beef sticks, porridge, and pin noodles were amazing. Will be coming back soon!“

“Great food, great atmosphere and great service! Fair prices and snappy service!“

“Total hidden gem in SF. It’s low key and does take out only, but don’t let that fool you, this place rivals SF’s finest establishments. I moved in a few blocks down the street and have been ordering take out almost every day as I unpack. I’ve tried the chicken hummus plate, meatball and rice plate, and the Beyran Soup. Literally each dish was 5/5 amazing. The soup was the best soup I’ve ever had in my life. Super rich flavor, but not overly salty. Just right. Honestly these folks should turn into a full fledged restaurant.“

“I’ve been coming here for 7+ years and the food has always been high quality, delicious, and well portioned. Can’t go wrong with their salads and recently I’ve learned the paninis are fantastic as well. I will say it’s good to order online and pickup, and leave a little time buffer as they can get pretty busy over the lunch rush. The staff can get really busy but they’ve always been helpful and courteous.“

“I was looking for a salad somewhere other than Mixt and was directed here by a friend. Their salads are so good, full, fresh, and they're so flavorful you don't need much dressing at all. It was so good that I went back for lunch the very next day. I've only had their grilled chicken in a salad, but it's delicious and can be gluten free. Definitely worth the DoorDash delivery!!“

“Delicious!!! I had the veggie panini with a side salad and my daughter had the mozzarella and tomato panini. The bread was perfectly cooked and crispy, both sandwiches were so tasty and the salad had a light refreshing dressing on it. The service was excellent, very friendly and quick. Great little place to eat, they have a nice selection of healthy salads, paninis, juice and smoothies. Highly recommend!“

“You will not beat MIXT. It is a Latina cult of salads. They have salads and warm bowls. I always get the Barbecue bowl when I can ever afford it and it's FIREEEEE. These places are organically sourced and not made up. Must try. Average $15 on every menu item.“

“Tried Curry Pizza House in Kent, WA for the first time. Great flavors! Wonderful wings, Desi bread, and pizza! The mango lassis are yummy. Definitely check it out!“

“Really love this place ! Food is delicious! Outdoor dining is refreshing.“

“Proper Food is a grab-and-go eatery located in the Financial District. It is targeted towards workers in the area as it is only open on weekdays during breakfast and lunch. They sell a lot of standard fare like sandwiches and salads, albeit with a gourmet slant. Was visiting my company's SF office, which was housed in the same building and got a light breakfast here. I can imagine this being a default spot if I was working there and needed to grab something quick to eat.“

“This was our first time here, but definitely won’t be our last! The pinsa was SPECTACULAR and you could tell a great amount of care went into each one 🥰. It was a phenomenal experience and we can’t wait to make it a staple for when we make it out!“

“Nothing to write home about for the salad, which was however generously sized. The chicken was good and a really good amount, but underneath it was mostly just lettuce leaves and a few other pieces like some chopped orange slices. I didn’t eat in, but the restaurant looked clean and would have been fine to eat in as well.“

“Excellent for picking up a healthy and tasty lunch. All the salads looked delicious, and the one I had was divine. I loved that the staff prepare the salads in front of you, so you can customize to your liking. The staff were also super friendly and helpful. This place is a must-visit if you're in the area.“

“With 3 hours to kill, we set off for the food court recommended by a pilot we asked and looked at our options. We decided to "be healthy" after a 10-day cruise and were rewarded with amazing food! The Good Catch Vegan Manhattan Seafood Chowder and Tortilla soup were both amazing and the Cabo salad was hearty enough for us to share and not feel deprived in any way. Of course, we then justified a couple of chocolate chip cookies for dessert-LOL. I now hope we have a reason to get back there again.“

“Got the salmon delivered. With cous cous and spinach and holendaise. A bit pricey, but they are experts at prep, and cooking. Salmon was perfect. Honey ginger, without over powering each other or the salmon. Roasted pine nuts? Very very tasty and roasted to perfection. The holendaise was tart again exactly the way it should be. Exceptionally fresh, exceptionally executed. When in the city I will stop by and thank them. Now, of course I want to try everything else on their menu.“

“Pizza Twist is absolutely fantastic! I have a strict gluten allergy, and Mani (the owner) went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. He was incredibly accommodating, attentive, and made me feel safe and confident about enjoying my meal. The gluten-free pizza was delicious, fresh, and flavorful—honestly one of the best I’ve had. It’s rare to find a place that truly cares about dietary restrictions while still delivering amazing taste. I can’t recommend Pizza Twist enough, both for the food and the outstanding customer service. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Five bright stars, Lissa darling!“

“Love this place. It’s always good and fresh. The Nutella/ strawberry 🥐 croissant is yummm, a must have.“

“I was there yesterday and had the Killer BLAT I didn't know if I would like it but turns out I loved it and I will return it was so good. It's a great place that you have to try.“

“THANK YOU! I have ordered late night from the Melt and received a ridiculous Cobb salad. Paid a ton of money and they left out all chicken, bacon or onion and I swear put in someone's old grilled cheese as croutons. So I tried Mixt. Boiled chicken instead of crispy and no cucs. Then I ordered from here and you restored my faith. Seriously thank you. Exactly what I ordered. It was delicious as well. THANK YOU! Just wanted a salad that I ordered and finally got it“

“This restaurant serving Azerbaijani cuisine is an absolute must-visit. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. The food is exceptional — every dish, from the starters and salads to the main courses, is beautifully presented and bursts with authentic and unique flavor. Be sure to try the Khojaly lamb shank, kebabs, shah plov and dolma — you won’t find anything like them anywhere else in the Bay Area.

What truly sets Bistro 4293 apart is the owner, Anar. He’s a genuinely great guy with a wonderful sense of humor, plenty of engaging stories and a true passion for what he does. He is very friendly, down-to-earth and always open to feedback. Anar brings a personal touch that makes every visit memorable. He often stops by tables to chat with guests, making the dining experience feel more like a gathering among friends. It is obvious he loves his restaurant and is passionate about what he does.

This place offers one of the best dining experiences — and most importantly, best values — in the area. Can’t recommend it highly enough!“
