I really love tender greens as its my go to spot for healthy dishes. Its quite unfortunate that its pretty expensive in my opinion, but the service that I received was pretty good, and wifi was accessible for us.

Came in midweek during lunch hour and it was dead. Kinda weird but I'll take it. There was no line so ordered right away. The place is super clean, despite the normally high volume. Food came out quick. The salad was great. Idk if I would call the tuna "seared" but no complaints I still ate it. The tomato soup tasted like tomato flavored water. Just so runny bland and underwhelming. Had a few spoons and gave up.

I thought my meal here was pretty standard and comparable to a cafeteria meal. I appreciate that tender greens uses fresh ingredients and has healthy options. We all chose to get plates, in which you select a main and two sides. I got the barbecue chicken, which I thought was flavorful on the outside but pretty dry. I also got the mixed veggies and spinach salad as my side. Although there are a good amount of options, here, nothing really blew our socks off. The best thing here is probably the bread, which is grilled and features oil, or some sort of butter. Given the experience, I probably would not come back anytime soon. I much prefer sweetgreen.

I enjoyed my stop here the other day while shopping at UTC. It was maybe 18 bucks including tip, so not cheap but not wild considering it's 2024/inflation lol. The Mac and Cheese was tasty. It's a new item for them. Overall, enjoyed the flavors, portion size, and quality. I would go back if at UTC mall. A little bit of a wait for food to come out, but they did bring it out to me at my table and I enjoyed it.

I have not been to Tender Greens for a long time. It was sadly disappointing. My favorite tuna nicoise was served without quail egg and toasted potatoes. They just forgot to add potatoes to the salad. The portion was much smaller and the dressing was not the same. I used to love this place for casual bite while shopping at the mall.

Don't order food from here via Postmates. I got no potatoes and no bread. My $20 dollars lunch was just steak and the smallest, saddest salad I've ever seen.

Great service & great food! Wish they would have other locations besides the malls. Parking can be a lil challenging.

So we like tender greens but the service was terrible. We had to order to go since we needed to get back before traffic hit. We waited 20 minutes for our food but that wasn't the issue, the food was in the bag ready to go and we knew it was ours but wanted to give the workers a chance to give it to us. 3 people looked at the food and the ticket, saw our number in front of them and still didn't give it to us. You'd think they'd give us the food because it was ready but they just let it sit there. I had to go ask them for it and they handed it to me as is, knowing fully that 5 orders that were taken after us went out. We like the food tender greens serves but they need to prioritize better, especially when they have people who ordered to go, disappointing.
Solid food at a good price for this mall. Everything is made on the spot. I have tried pretty much every single protein on their menu and everything tastes great. This will end up being my go-to going forward as their Del Mar/One Paseo location closed down as of 2024. Service is always friendly and there are usually enough tables for people who want to eat inside (plenty of space outside).

The food is nothing special, just classic American food. I ordered the tuna and it was genuinely pretty good, but the prices were a bit high. The seating was not very comfortable and it was a bit cold inside the restaurant. However, the cashier was relatively friendly. In terms of the food, I felt that the portions were a bit small so I wish they gave a bit more veggies, which wouldn't add to their costs too much but would also feel more like a meal.

Pretty disappointed from this last experience at tender greens. This used to be my favorite dish. This time the chicken was bone dry and flavorless. The seasonal veggies consisted of just carrots and a few mushrooms, and the overall taste was just not good. Not sure what has happened to the quality of the food here. What a disappointment..
