Health Food Restaurants near Mclean, VA

“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.“

“I ordered meals for my sister in law and her family. She is currently fighting breast cancer and these meals have been life savers for her sanity and her health.

Busy day? Too tired? No worries- healthy meals ready to warm up with great nutritional value and deliciousness.

Thank you for offering this service! I’ll order again.“

“I’m a daily customer and absolutely love this Sweetgreen location! The ingredients are always fresh, the food is consistently delicious, and the staff is friendly and efficient. It’s my go-to spot for a healthy meal, and they never disappoint. Highly recommend to anyone looking for fresh, flavorful salads and bowls!“

“Service+diversités+situation“

“They have a wide variety of healthy food. Especially, their smoothies. They are out of this world and healthy for you. You need to check this place out.“

“The food was great. However, the pleasant young man who took our order messed it up. We asked for add-ons to our main order, but he gave us a whole different order, which cost us a lot. My friend was incensed, but we let it go because we didn't want to hold up the customers behind us and the young man may have been new at his job.“

“I was so very impressed with this place. I was greeted by the manager as I waited in lunch line. He told me about options for alternative lower calorie dressings. I had the Edamame Crunch. It was absolutely delicious...the veggies and lettuce were so fresh! Great flavor. I had cucumber taziki dressing...also delicious! Great healthy vibe here. And reasonable prices. Very impressed!“

“Best location out there!! My server Jackie was amazing and she whipped up the most immaculate smoothie bowl“

“Gute Qualität und stylisch.“

“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.“

“Yep:P it was very good the food the ppl and the reset urs for“

“I never been here before but i recommend the bowls one 💯 so good i got the banana , strawberry , granola , peanut butter , and I can't remember the bottom, what was on it, but that was the best thank you guys“

“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!“

“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.“

“Ordered pick up and my order was ready before the estimated time, the storefront was clean, and the employees were welcoming and friendly! Got the Dubai chocolate açaí bowl and it was delicious!! Love the pistachio butter! 10/10 recommend!“

“my son and niece are OBSESSED with playa bowls! we never leave with a bad experience, the workers are so incredibly nice, and shoutout Ellie, every interaction ive had with her was the sweetest!! Always excited to come back here, defined one of my fav spots always such a vibe!!“

“This location is super cute, everyone is very nice. Emma helped me customize my Nutella bowl and help me with the southblock app (which isn’t the best 😭) AND made my açaí bowl! She was awesome and as always the bowl was 🤌🏻 amazing. 10/10

this is for the regional manager/corporate/IT: please fix the app ordering - more customizable options (no/optional toppings like fruit) and also the point system doesn’t even work (applicable point options not showing up, also a bowl credit being $15 in fine print but $12.99 in store???). I literally can’t ever order my bowls ahead of time and it’s just ridiculous atp in 2025☹️“

“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.“

“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.“

“Since checking this place out, I have become a regular customer, and now come in 1-2x a week for a grocery restock. I have had no time to cook since the new year and had been eating out almost every meal.... but there are so few places around with healthy options. I am so picky about what fruits and veggies, organic items, etc. that I eat, and thankfully sprouts has provided great options for that! The baristas/cashiers are always so helpful and kind to us. Some of my favorites are-- ALL of the soups (seriously that chicken and rice is perfection, especially if you are under the weather), turkey chili, thai wrap, veggie wrap, egg roll in a bowl, drunken noodles, bbq chicken and succotash, the vitality ginger drink (that spice burns but feels good!), the challah and sourdough bread, eskimo bites for a treat, and the strawberry blondie brownies! I am trying new things as the menu changes, but these have been on my constant restock when available of what I have had so far!! I recently learned they can heat the items for you, so you can eat a hot meal there (I have not done this yet myself, as this is like grocery shopping for me so i take it home... but i have seen lots of people in there enjoying their meals!) I have seen some complain about the prices, but if you know the quality of what you are getting (local, organic), then you would realize these are very fair prices! If I have ever wanted to request something or had a slight issue, Sprouts has always been more than happy to accommodate. Thank you Sprouts for providing great service and food options to the community! You will see me again soon! Gluten free, Dairy free, or Flexitarian, check them out!“

“Fantastic smoothie! I ordered the Crazy Monkey and it was delicious. I have several food allergies and the person who helped me was very gracious and made sure my drink would be safe for me. The atmosphere was nice and bright and the facility was incredibly clean.“

“I am 6’4 and I never go to vegetarian places but something about this place drew me in and I actually left feeling full so I had to give them a review. Good portions, everything tasted fresh, healthy, and delicious. The shakes, smoothies, and coffee drinks looked great too. Can’t wait to go back and try them!“

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

“Warm and friendly welcome. Delicious açaí! I would like to try more delicious bowls ❤️“

“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.“

“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.“

“2 Slobbery thumbs up! Millie enjoys!“

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

“This food truck is better than a restaurant, you make your food less than five minutes, and there is a nice location you can eat right near the food truck.
If you have less money and let him know that he don’t have enough money to buy his food. He will still give you a food.
He is a generous guy
I believe one day he will have more than hundred food trucks.
Stop by there“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

“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!“

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

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

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

“The food and space was very welcoming. I especially appreciated the help with the menu and the safety precautions that were taken to keep me safe. I have allergies and making sure the space and kitchen are clean is important to me!
I loved my bowl! It filled me up and everything was so fresh!

My favorite thing was the blackened chicken!!! OMG!!! Out of this world amazing!!! I loved my experience and will be back!!! Yum!!!“

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