“Stopped by Chopt Creative Salad Co. for a quick lunch and honestly ended up liking it way more than I expected. Usually places focused on salads can feel overpriced or bland, but the ingredients here actually tasted fresh and the portions were pretty filling. There were a lot of options to customize everything too, which was nice because you can make it healthier or more protein heavy depending on what you want.

Staff moved pretty quickly even though the line was long during lunch hour, and everyone seemed friendly and patient while explaining ingredients and dressings. The place itself was clean and had a good atmosphere for grabbing a fast lunch without feeling rushed out the door immediately.

Prices are a little higher than a normal fast food lunch, but honestly with the quality and portion size it felt worth it. Good option when you want something healthier but still satisfying. Definitely would come back again.“

The crust was amazing with the classic coal-fired char, just the perfect amount of cheese and the crushed Italian tomatoes were divine. Great to try proper apizza again.“

“I "cried" when my fave VEGAN or VEGETARIAN "GO-to" eat-in place closed all their locations around Boston. That was sadly & formerly GrainMaker .. (gone now) However DiG has grown on me as their deFACTO replacement for all FRESH VEGGIES and otherwise ALL FRESH MEAL VEGAN or VEGETERIAN eats and eat-in place! This is becoming my greatly reccomended "hidden vegan and veggie gem" in Boston with LOTS of locations. They have 3 locations thus far in Boston and 2 in Cambridge. I hav ONLY visited their downtown location thus far! Just as formerly with GrainMaker, DiG is as close to authentic home cooked! & genuinely HEALTHY! AND fresh meals that you can get to. Always fresh veggies, steamed & otherwise. --(they also serve a variety of proteins, as in variety of meats and fish, but i stay vegan. I have NEVER tried any of their meats or fish here.. ONLY their veggies and seasoned TOFU on occasion.. more oft than not, i do not even get their TOFU as a protein and opt to feast on JUST their steamed or boiled or baked veggies, bases. like rice and excellent mixed veggie salads sides!) Have been frequenting it for about 2 years since 2023 now, but held off on reviewing it until i was SURE of my experiences here. Decided to review it today bcs "it's time". I spoke to the very customer service oriented and responsibve supervisor here at this location, his name is DiJuan and was served by Adonis today and he was also very accommodating (after i explained i eat vegan) and on showing me my MANY fresh veggie choices, bases, proteins (including delish prepared Tofu) and PLENTY of heavenly veggie sides, all preped like you'd expect to find in a Thanksgiving grand day family meal. (AND they do this EVERY DAY!! ) This is HEALTHY eats and quite tasty and delish! See my posted pic w this review of my choice of eats today. In short, just today, i started with very little brown rice as my base and added 2 types of their fresh salad, Cannellini Beans w dill & greens along with their steamed or boiled Kale greens and added also a sweet potato that had been steamed & also steamed brocolli. I LUV eating fresh, healthy, TASTY and "homemade style" (as in NOT processed!!). I added their Garlic dressing to top it off. It came to something like 10+ bucks (B4 tax)! Unheard of !! for a BIG & FULLY portioned full veggie plate like this! BIG PORTION of a FULL PLATE! -- i declined, as usual to get any protein with my meal today, is why, STiLL i got a HUGE portioned plate! ( I normally HAVE2 order 2 - 3 separate orders and combine them, at HoneyGrow, anuther fave local "vegan" franchise in Boston, in order to get filled up if i'm only eating OMAD, as in One-meal-a-Day, in order to get full elsewhere usually!). They have a FAMILY (feeds4) option after 3pm every day that feeds 4-5 people (adults not kids) for like $43. QUITE A BARGAIN for something like this. AND it look like a Thankgiving day meal to top it off! --(formerly anuther non-vegan place "had this", now gone, called Boston Market. However they LOADED their side protions and even base meal with SO MUCH SALT, yuck! so that was ALL you could taste. THEY supposedly made home made, but found out NOT SO!!, theirs was loaded with processed sh*t, like their supposedly home-made mashed potatoes were the powder kind, loaded with pseudo milk and SALT, YUCK!!) NOT SO ! with this place.. DiG is 180 degrees fr tht.. This is truly GREAT tasting REAL and "home-prepped" veggies. They are winning me over from my other 2 "go-to's" "vegan-ish" franchises in Boston whcih have steadily been declining for various reasons, those being Bon-Me (their employees, over at Bon-Me for last 2-3 years it seems at ALL locations i have tried, simply do not undertsand nor speak english for the most part, their food WEN i can get it ordered the way i want it, is generally good, oft times its taken over 2 returned plates in order to get it prepared the way i orderd it.. v“

“Dropping my rating down to a FOUR. They’ve lowered the bar a bit on quality. Pizzas were ok but it seemed like the brick oven hadn’t been cleaned in a while. Lots of ash on both pizzas. Also the $12 salad looked like a bunch of lettuce scraps. Taking a break from Alatri for a while.“

The sandwich combinations offer a break from tradition and provide delicious choice of variations. The clam chowder is really good and could be a standalone meal. I highly recommend!“

“I went here for dinner with my wife and parents. We were having issues with the app and Ryan helped us out on the register since the kiosk wasn’t working correctly. He knew my parents by name and they knew his. They are in their late 70s and small gestures like him looking out for them and quickly fixing ordering issues are really meaningful. It’s nice to know someone is willing to help immediately when anyone has issues there.“
