Just Moving out to California and searching for restaurants I didnt have back home, I stumbled upon this place (With the Help of Siri.) When you order a salad every ounce of it is fresh, healthy looking, (and tasty) greens. My favorite is the Harvest Salad that has some of everything in it. I dont really like the take of Grapefruit and when placed on my salad here its especially strong, (meaning for people who like grapefruit this maybe a good thing) But mixed with the rest of the salad i love the overall taste of the salad is still amazing! Their potpies are unique in taste and i try to get them all the time when they are in stock, because apparently a lot of people eat them. Their Mint Lemonade ranks high on my favorite drinks of all time list. I Find myself buying a glass to start, a second glass while im eating and one for the road! Decor is pretty warm and inviting. I find myself pulling out my laptop and getting some work done, commenting to Google+ posts or just Relaxing on a Google+Hangout while im here eating. Service is Excellent for the style of service provided. The only complaint is that i think the establishment should be bigger. Usually from thursday to Sunday there isnt enough seats to seat all the people excited to eat. They do offer outdoor seating which is a good, unless you show up on a rainy thursday. lol Overall i think this is a wonderful place to eat at and unwind. If you are planning to get some work done though, make sure you bring a hotspot!

I go here almost every other day during my work weeks since its right next door. Pros: 1) Fast service- Regardless of how long the line looks- Trust me- the speed of service has never disappointed me. 2) Healthy and Delicious food- its on point- straightforward. The menu is very organized and easy to read which is great for first timers. 3) Great Variety- Salads can get boring, I love it when Tender Greens mix it up a bit (even if it is the same dish) with something seasonal. I love ordering the Market Fish dish- for November, they added this pumpkin base paste on the bottom which is super delicous. 4) Drink up!- They serve beer here- but my main go to is the lemonade. Con: 1) None really- unless you hate salad 2) Leaning towards the expensive side- your minimum on a dish is pretty much $11 add $1 for tip and youre spending at least $12 per visit without a drink in hand.

Only ate at the location on UCI campus in Irvine., twice. First time was good, not great but good enough to bring me back a second time, which was the kiss of death. Never again. Food was noticeably portioned smaller but mostly the service was bad. People came in 20 minutes after me and were seated or leaving with food before me. They kept saying it would be ready in a few minutes. In hindsight I should have demanded my money back. No one seemed to care that I was treated so badly. 2 stars is kind, only because of the first visit. A note to the company website brought zero response. I hope Tender Greens wilts and goes to the compost heap.

Food is too salty and ordering is inefficient! For a pre-cooked food restaurant they are really really slow. The problem is the single register where you order. People tend to take their time and it creates a bottle neck. They could solve the problem by allowing two or three registers.. I generally avoid this restaurant at lunch because it takes longer to get my food than at a sit-down made to order place. Also, the food at this particular Tender Greens location is too salty for my taste.

One of my favorite spots to eat at lunch time. The line moves quickly so its a good place to stop and eat during work hours. I love the arugula salad with the steak. If you have not tried this place, you must go in and eat it. It looks like it might be a fast food joint, but its not. All the vegetables are sourced locally and tastes super fresh. I love taking home food for the kids when Im in a pinch for what to do for dinner.

The taste is quite good, and clearly very healthy, but the price and the serving size does make everything quite steep for a night out. Great if you want good, healthy and delicious greens for a treat day or to impress someone, but itll probably probably be better for you to DIY after a trip to the market if youre in the mood for a large bowl or a fatter wallet.

Absolutely love this restuarant. They have a great selection of menu items for every appetite and diet. The best thing about Tender Greens is the fact that they use high quality, fresh ingredients. The spices they use to season their food are also unique in flavor and blend very well together. I would recommend Tender Greens to everyone!

One a week I visit Tender Green for lunch the food is always delicious, just sometimes the taste change a little bit because of the chef maybe, sometimes there is line but it goes fast the personal are very friendly there is always place to sit, just the music sometimes is not my taste but its my personal opinion.

Holy moly, I love this place. The food is very fresh, clean and tasty. I usually get the salad greens with the fish option. As with all great food, sometimes it gets busy here. However, they do know how to move a line forward quickly and keep everyone happy. Youll love it.

Hummus was a little bland. Tasted better the next day. Steak plate was amazing and he potatoes were seasoned very well. Chicken salad need more seasoning in the dressing and in the salad. Not pictures was chicken tortilla soup. Tasted like roasted

Salt and pepper chicken over tender greens salad...so good. Mashed potatoes...so good. Can get a little busy but they move the line quickly. Employee came around and filled water. Indoor and outdoor seating available.

Over priced for a modest amount of food. Great quality and tasty. Very clean and modern atmosphere. Wouldnt go here unless someone really insisted.

The concept is great, but the food can be really bland. Portion sizes are generous, service is super friendly, just disappointing food sometimes.

The portions dont look large but I left completely stuffed. I recommend the Chipotle chicken.
