“I love everything about this place! Been coming here for a couple of years now and they know me and added me by name and always know exactly what I like. OG ACAI BOWL for the win!! They fix it perfectly every time!“

“This place so good. I loved my strawberry mango smoothie and family all enjoy their items. The fruit on the acai bowls are so fresh also.“

“We’ve been using this place for lunch for the past few days, and it’s been consistently impressive. The service has been outstanding every time, friendly, efficient, and refreshingly prompt.

We’ve also been using the app for collection, and it works brilliantly. You’re kept informed throughout the process, and our orders have always been ready when promised. No guessing, no unnecessary waiting, just an easy, seamless experience.

The salads are another big win. The ingredients taste genuinely fresh, the portions are plentiful, and everything is packed with flavour. We ordered the High Protein Buffalo Chicken, with antibiotic-free blackened chicken, tomatoes, feta, raw carrots, pickled onions, garlic breadcrumbs, cilantro, chopped romaine, organic kale, Caesar dressing and sweetgreen hot sauce. We also tried the High Protein Kale Caesar, featuring roasted chicken, Parmesan crisps, shaved Parmesan, garlic breadcrumbs, kale, romaine, lemon and Caesar dressing.

What we particularly liked is the flexibility to tweak ingredients to suit your taste, which was handled easily and very reasonably. The menu is also impressively informative, with calories, carbohydrates, fat and fibre clearly displayed, ideal if you like to know exactly what you’re eating without having to play nutritional detective.

And then there’s the app rewards. As we’ve continued ordering, we’ve accumulated points that turn into rewards. It’s certainly not essential, but it’s a welcome little bonus and a clever incentive to keep coming back.

Overall, this is a great lunch option: fresh, generous, tasty, quick and well organised, with genuinely good service. After several visits in a row, we’re clearly becoming regulars, and judging by how well everything has gone so far, we’re perfectly happy with that!“

“First time here. Great food. Clean restaurant. Friendly staff.“

“I'm a retired chef from Louisiana but living in Nashville nowadays. I know about eating healthy and I would give this place 2 thumbs up.“

“On a bit of a health kick and randomly popped in looking for (obviously) a salad and was warmly greeted by Moussa. It was a down time and there was one customer ahead of me being helped by the team member behind the line. Moussa paused whatever work he was doing on his laptop and jumped behind the line to help me out, making a couple of recommendations and helping me navigate the extensive menu. We chatted a bit as he built my salad and I discovered he was actually the manager. The food, service, and atmosphere were all 10/10. Moussa did a fantastic job making sure my first experience at Just Salad was a great one, and I would highly recommend this spot to anyone.“

“Great and friendly staff. Inform customers about products and the ingredients.“

“The absolute best place for Acai bowls and smoothies. To me this is the number one business in this field. On average I try to get South Block between 2 to 4 times per week. Staff is incredibly friendly and inside and out there are great places to sit. Visit them on a very very very hot day and you'll feel like your in heaven.“

“refreshing and fulfilling smoothies Healthy and great taste“

“Toastique is my favorite! That Green Machine smoothie can cure just about anything. I visited today and accidentally dropped my smoothie before I had a sip. They sweetly made me a fresh one and I left feeling embarassed...but I bet this smoothie will cure that, too.“

“Gute Qualität und stylisch.“

“Thank you, Veena for making me such a wonderful latte!! I came here for the first time and felt welcomed right away. This will be my go to when I need a pick me up or something healthy. There aren’t a ton of options in the area so I really appreciated the friendly service.“

“I'm so happy I found this place! I visited for the first time today and was warmly welcomed with fresh coffee and had the chance to taste several delicious items. They have an amazing selection of specialty items from across the Middle East and it was so refreshing to find such a great variety all in one place. Everything was delicious and the hospitality was exceptional. I’m already looking forward to returning. Highly recommend!“

“OMG! My favorite place for juice, smoothies, avocado toast and acai bowls now has SOUP! Just had their potato squash soup, and it was better than my homemade soup (which is also delicious). Will be visiting often this winter for soup, cappuccino and "stay away cold and flu" juices. Sooo happy to have healthy options close-by!“

“I just discovered South Block because I work nearby, and honestly… I can’t believe it took me this long. It’s quickly become my absolute favorite place to go. Everything tastes so fresh, clean, and genuinely nourishing—you can tell they care about what they’re serving.

Their smoothies are a lifesaver, especially during my first trimester. Light, refreshing, and packed with goodness—they’re exactly what I need when I want something healthy but still delicious. It’s one of the few places where “healthy” doesn’t feel like a compromise at all.

And beyond the food, the people make it even better. Every single time I walk in, I’m greeted with a smile. The staff are consistently kind, welcoming, and just radiate good energy—it really sets the tone for your whole day.

If you’re anywhere nearby, do yourself a favor and go. It’s not just a stop for food anymore—it’s a place I genuinely look forward to.“

“This place so good. I loved my strawberry mango smoothie and family all enjoy their items. The fruit on the acai bowls are so fresh also.“

“I absolutely love stopping here whenever I need a healthy and refreshing treat. Everything from the base to the fresh fruit toppings is so vibrant and delicious, and the whole place just feels like a tropical escape. The staff always gets my order right and makes it look great, making it easily one of my favorite spots to grab a quick, satisfying bite.“

“My partner and I went to the Navy Yard location in Washington, DC a little over a week ago. on Saturday, August 1st. While the atmosphere and food was great, the service provided by the cashier didn't meet our expectations. We were anticipating a cordial greeting, a minimum level of rapport, and assistance with the menu in terms of making our choices. We were instead met with a stony glare, curt responses, creating an overall chilled interaction. All that being said, the items we selected came out good. We will be returning as the location is convenient. And we do expect improved service.“

“Went here with plans to get a wheatgrass shot after a chaotic night. I was greeted at the counter by the manager, Antonio. He was such a delight, friendly and extremely knowledgeable of the menu. He walked me through the different items and even convinced me to get the season special, a toast with Nutella, strawberries, and coconut, that with the wheatgrass shot was exactly what the doctor ordered! Will definitely be coming back to South Block!“

“This was my first time at this specific South Block location. I discovered it’s inside GW’s Lerner Health and Wellness Center. I ordered ahead via the app, and my Loaded PBJ Acai Bowl was ready when I arrived. The guy working behind the counter was super friendly and made the experience even better. The price was the same as other South Block locations, which I appreciated. While I’m not usually in this part of town, I would definitely stop by again next time I am! Highly recommend their açaí bowls.“

“Grass fed meats, fresh seasonal food. Delicious and leaves you feeling full and not bloated like many other places do.“

“Absolutely amazing, the workers are really sweet and quick with orders they have never disappointed me with a single order I love it here so much the place is nice and cool and a lot of great seats to enjoy one of these smoothies I recommend!!“

“Stopped by for lunch on a weekend - pretty big space, and nice welcoming layout. Ordered the falafel, tofu skewers and a bowl. I’d probably skip the falafels next trip, but the tofu skewers were nice, especially with the peanut sauce. The bowl was hearty and enough to share with family. Food tasted very fresh. Highly recommend if you’re in the area“

“One of the most flavorful meals I’ve ever indulged in! Love the vibes there, and that everything is healthy and organic. Impressed that the prices weren’t too high either! Was just traveling through Salem on vacation in September & glad I found this place. Highly recommend. (Pictures are of the Rainbow Harvest bowl and Blue Magic Smoothie) - which had a kick to it, but tasted like Christmas.“

“I’m thrilled to have a Sweetgreen in McLean. Their food is always delicious, filling, and fresh. I was worried about surviving without them after they were temporarily closed, but I’m delighted they’re back.

Despite frequent visits, I’ve only had a few order errors and they’ve been swiftly addressed by the customer service team. It’s reassuring to know the food is consistently good, and portion sizes are reasonable.“

“Sweetgreen offers fresh, flavorful meals with high-quality ingredients and plenty of healthy options. The salads and bowls are thoughtfully crafted, with creative combinations that are both satisfying and delicious. The service is friendly, the atmosphere is modern and welcoming, and it’s a great choice for a quick, nutritious meal while exploring the city.“

“I come to this place mainly as a quick stop because the food is relatively healthy. However, to be honest, the taste is just average—not really that good. The portion size is also a bit small for the price. The photo I’m attaching makes it look like a generous portion, but in reality it’s served on a smaller plate, which makes it seem like more than it actually is.

I’ve tried other locations from the same chain where the food tastes fresher and much better. At this location, it was just okay. I usually only come here if it’s necessary, since it’s not something I really crave. The service, though, is good.“

“The best team ever I love work at hire we love are customers“

“This has by far been my best experience with food in my week here. I created my own. It was argula/wild rice, spicy broccoli, roasted sweet potatoes, parmesean, sesame noodles, fresh squeezed lime juice, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and their Miso Salmon! Fresh, delicious, and affordable. The portions are huge! It will easily be three meals! And with the grains and green type is it possible. The selection is amazing! You need a code for the bathroom but the staff notices when you walk there and come back, didn't even need to ask for it!“

“An amazing Playa Bowls location that is worth a stop if you’re in Arlington. I have enjoyed this chain in various states, but this one is not too busy and very efficient in making what ever you order. I had the Protein Power bowl and the tidal wave smoothie. Both were absolutely delicious, and I was able to make vegan thanks to vegan protein powder being an option!

The space is quite large considering the location, one benefit that can be overlooked when frequenting this chain in other cities, as they have to accommodate to fit in certain cities. Overall I will be returning to this location whenever I am in town!“

“This is amazing restaurant for veggies! Very healthy options and amazing dressings.“

“Good service with a smile. Delicious, fresh and lots of choices“

“Great place! I love the vibes, drinks and food😍“

“I haven’t had sweet green in over a year, but I remember shoorami being my favorite bowl and I’m not even vegan. I went in to get one. I noticed the worker didn’t put basil in the bowl, which I really love, so I had to remind her. Then after I ordered and sat down to eat, I asked for a cup of water and they didn’t have any cups for water. I had to buy a drink so the whole lunch turned out to be almost $20 which is a little steep for a casual lunch. The bar stools are a little strange as they make you way too tall and you have to hunch forward, and I am not tall.

However the food was decently good. 4 stars.“

“The best salad ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.“

“Delicious, high quality food! I want everything on their menu.“

“Muy buena atención. Muy buenas ensaladas lo único malo es que no se puede pagar con cash solo crédito“

“Great food and atmosphere. Just don’t come in a rush. Service is a bit slow, but staff is very friendly.“

“Nothing like a GREAT Salad & GREAT customer service!“

“Great Experience! New Crabmeat Salad w/Chile Sauce!!“

“Healthy food nice location“
