I have been eating these beautiful, fresh and healthy salads since they opened in Ballston, Arlington Va and waited patiently while they closed and slowly reopened. The salads are still fresh and tasty but are literally now 50% smaller- consistently time after time during this last year . I know this has happened with corn flakes but I am terribly disappointed with Sweethreen- much smaller portions are now the norm.

Ate here two days in a row! So good, and healthy, and really nice portions. The labeling is confusing, but they can cater to both gluten free and lactose free options. Recommend the guac greens salad.

FOUND A WORM IN MY SALAD. I tried calling the place to let them know but there’s no one to get a hold on. I’m disgusted ?

Came in near closing time around 9:30pm. The lady up at the front seemed like she hated her job and I had to be the first to say hello. If I have to be the first to say hello, it's now a red flag in my book. 0 stars for customer service. The entire time I felt like I didn't belong -- not sure if it was her resting face or if she was actually mad if I was there. Everything I asked for seemed so little. Not that it's necessary to give extra away during closing time, but if all that food is going to be thrown away (I worked in food service before so I know), why still be stingy? The music was so loud so I couldn't even hear the answers to the questions I asked (e.g how many veggies can I get? Are the nuts included?) When I tried to pay, it wouldn't allow me to pay unless I hit a button. I thought the POS was touch screen but it was not. The screen said $14.96 so I thought pressing the green button would allow me to pay (in the past clicking the red X cancels the entire transaction). Clicking the green button added an extra 18% tip which was unwarranted and it happened all too fast after trying several times to pay. I never want to tip for bad customer service. I went back, asked for the receipt, and asked for the manager. Again it's near closing time and he said he can't refund my tip. But he also didn't ask if there was anything he could've done to have made the experience WORTH my tip. I'm never coming back here, and unless you want to be charged unwarranted tips for bad customer service, I recommend not coming here either. Note: I got home and started eating and got purple rice. I thought I was chewing on plastic or cardboard, but the rice was just either undercooked or overcooked because it was not soft.

My $22 salad was worth every penny because I wanted all the good stuff in it. But goodness, just about everything else sucks. Service is horrible. Not sure why they expect to be tipped since there is no table service and they are not the friendliest folks.

I lovvvve sweetgreen but this location I noticed the kale wasn't cut up as normal, rice was overcooked pieces were hard and just not as fresh ingredients as some of the other locations I've visited.

Sweetgreen is a quick salad place. You can order from the preset salad menu and customize however you would like. Or, you can completely have one made with everything you want. They even ask if you want your dressing to be light, regular, or heavy. The staff was very energetic and provided quick service. All of the ingredients were out in display so you can actually see your salad options. The place was simple and clean. We ended up trying the BBQ Chicken Salad with a slice of bread. The salad is packed in a bowl with a lid. That bowl was surprisingly heavy. It was completely stuffed! There was just enough dressing to cover everything without being too much. And, the salad was pretty good. The price was very much on the expensive side, so that would probably deter us from going there over and over. But, a good place to have every now and then.

Ordered online through the app and my two friends ordered at the counter and got their food faster - I did have two side orders of potatoes, so that was probably a factor.A few people eat at the tables inside and outside but it's definitely more of a grab and go vibe.
The worker Aleck was incredibly rude. Treated me like it was offensive I had walked in and he had to serve me. Threw everything all around in a borderline hissy fit, would barely speak, and underserved portions.

The salads are okay, but they're VERY expensive. My salad usually comes up to about $20 which is extremely overpriced for a salad that I could easily make at home for the fraction of the cost. I definitely can't afford to spend $20 on a salad everyday, so I won't be coming here too often.

This is the best Sweetgreen ever. They always prepare my online orders very fast, the salad is perfectly done, the service is wonderful.

This is my go to sweetgreen when I'm working on Arlington. Our workplace has an outpost so all our orders are opened until 10:30 AM and deliveries are prompt at noon for lunch. It makes ordering for convenient and quick for me when I don't have time the night before to prep a meal for work. Food is overall refreshing and a good portion. I would recommend to always double up on protein as one order is not enough. The summer bowls look interesting but my go to is the BBQ chicken salad or guacamole greens. What's nice is that you can still modify your bowl even after selecting their pre-set bowl choices. Their beverages are just ok, nothing worth purchasing honestly. In terms of ambiance I haven't technically walked into this store location but I can say I'm quite happy in terms of delivery.
