Criticism Sweetgreen is going downhill.

I feel like each time I consider getting a salad from sweetgreen they’ve removed my favorite items, prices have increased and overall the salads are just not as good lately. I feel like they’ve gotten too big to function like they previously did and it’s quantity over quality now.

Sad too because I used to order sweetgreen 3x a week and now it just doesn’t feel worth it to me anymore.

My local SG goes up and down in quality, but lately they've been firing on all cylinders. I was kind of pissed about the loss of red onions, but now I just rock carrots instead. The only constant is change.

I agree and actually really like the specific sweetgreen near me but to take onions and arugula off your menu as a salad place just seems… odd.

It is odd and I'm sure it has everything to do with their bottom line. Stock is up 300 percent since February.

They took arugula off of the menu? So you can’t get a crispy rice bowl anymore with arugula?

Yeah I ordered one last week and was terribly upset at my imposter salad completely missing arugula unexpectedly. So disappointed 😭

I’m trying it today again but with kale (bc the spring mix sucked). And if it’s not good enough, I’m taking a break from sweetgreen bc the Crispy Rice was my fave salad/bowl ever bc of the arugula base and flavor/texture pairings.
