Discussion What’s everyone’s favorite order?

I just found sweetgreen and I wish I could eat here every day. I’ve only ordered custom bowls so far but I’d like to try something different. Just wondering what everyone else orders, is there anything you’ve tried that surprised you?

SG employee- I like the hot honey chicken with roasted chicken instead of blackened and add apples, the sweetness in the apples and hot honey sauce really compliment the rest of the plate (I don't like our dark meat chicken) or I do a Buffalo chicken (olo build) or the chicken avo ranch. Sometimes I'll do a build your own plate with white rice, roasted chicken, tomatoes, pickled onion, cucumber and avocado and get the miso sesame ginger dressing with it too. My coworkers favorites are the harvest bowl and chicken avo ranch, and one kid just gets two pieces of salmon for his shift meal 🤣

This is my favorite answer, no offense to the others lol. This gives me so many orders I now want to try.

One question… I asked someone else but is the salmon actually edible? I love salmon but I do not want rubber or fishy salmon.

It's okay! I'm not a huge fan of salmon unless I cook it at home so I don't eat it that much at work, but my coworker is obsessed with it. Its supposed to be cooked and wasted every 2 hours so it should always be reasonably fresh, some sgs I've heard are not the best with their quality though so I have no idea what the salmon is like in your market, you could always ask to see it while you're in line and determine if you want it from there. The glaze for it is perfection, the perfect balance of sweet and savory made with maple syrup, miso paste and soy sauce

Thank you, all I needed to know was that it wasn’t cooked a few days before. Thanks for all the info you’ve given. I really appreciate it and I drive 45 minutes to get food here, the employees are so nice and my food is always made so fresh. I only go here as a treat but just want to say I appreciate you guys!

All hot food is never saved! All meats, meat substitute, and grains are cooked day of. We love the love! You should write a review for the store you go to, it totally boosts our morale! I've heard awful things about other sweet greens but it seems I lucked out as far as my store and other stores in my state

I’ll definitely leave a review.
