We ordered Tender Greens for an in office luncheon today for 20-25 people. I placed the order online and followed up with the manager, Raul. Raul was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was very responsive and professional. Everyone was very pleased with the lunch and complimented the selections. We also had a last minute request for additional sandwiches and Raul personally delivered the additional sandwiches. I deeply appreciate the awesome service and great food and looking forward to our next catering order! Thank you to Raul and his awesome team!
My new favorite place to eat (only if I lived here, ugh) super healthy choices and perfectly cooked.
Great value for the price.
Best fried chicken sandwich I ever had. Unique flavor with the cabbage salad coleslaw and spices in it. Reasonably priced compared to other places too at $12 after tax (at time of writing) considering the quality.
The food is always exceptional, I come every Wednesday because I work at the farmers market outside; by far the best food around! I usually get the plate with arugula, chicken and a side tomato soup but today I tried the chicken pesto sandwich and it was delicious! Huge shout out to the staff for always being super friendly, especially Raul he’s the best!
Absolutely AMAZING! The food was so yummy—my salmon was cooked perfectly and my mashed potatoes were delicious. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and the service was top notch. Would 100% go again!!
We shared a Mediterranean steak salad (medium rare) and it was quite tasty. We might have liked it a bit more rare, so we will ask for that next time. The dressing was light and delicious and the steak was well cooked. We also had mint lemonade that was good too.
I would Highly recommend this place! They have so many healthy food options, the Chicken and steak is always so Fresh and Good! I also like the fact that you can watch them prepare your food!
The last time I was there, I ordered the chicken Caesar salad and it was Excellent!!
The customer service was Excellent! As for parking, you would want to use the parking structure and enjoy Santa Monica shopping!
You have to go check out this place! VERY GOOD and lots of healthy food options!
Also their Tuna option is good and you can have some good vegetables with it.
Nice patio outside and clean place!
Parking for 90 mins really close!
And good service, nice staff!
As soon as I hit the door I felt the "good energy" ...the atmosphere and physical decor were great the food of course very good and the portions compared to other locations seemed a bit more plentiful ! 👍. I received excellent service from cashier DAMIAN-MICHAEL & food runner TINO ...I will definitely be back in the near future !
Excellent service, attention and delicious sandwiches and very well served. 💯 Good 👍
The food was awesome! My mother and I went there and she ordered the Salmon plate with kale and sprouted rice and I ordered the Cobb salad. We also had an almond berry cake/muffin. The food was so good. The portions were plentiful, so we really didn't need the cake, but it was delicious too.
One of my go-to spots for a quick, healthy lunch. The line can get a bit crowded during lunch (starting around noon) but you can also order ahead online. My go-to is the salmon bowl ($15) which has brown rice, salmon cooked medium rare, a salad, and corn medley that I really enjoy along with cotija cheese. The vegan brownie is surprisingly good and has bits of peanut brittle that add a bit more interesting texture to an otherwise very soft brownie ($4). I also love the chocolate chip cookies - I think they’re some of the best and I love it whenever our office caters tender greens (TG as it’s affectionately known) and there’s leftover chocolate chip cookies to munch on. They’re the size of my palm and have big round chunks of chocolate embedded throughout. Depending on the batch, they can either be pretty crispy but I like them best when they’re slight chewy. Another favorite of mine is the buttermilk fried chicken - it’s not as heavy as you think and you could always get it in a salad. However, I would recommend getting it in a plate with mashed potatoes (which are very silky) and a side salad. If you’re catering from Tender Greens, absolutely get the edamame hummus - it’s addictive (although some might be off-put by the bright green color). The salt and pepper chicken is also a solid bet if you want to get it in a salad or plate. You order at the cash register and move down the line sideways, then you have the option of getting drinks and dessert. The kombucha is $5 and it’s tall glass of pink fizziness. Green juice is $3.5 and is decent. There’s also wine for $7 if you’re looking to have some alcohol. The blueberry dessert is really moist and light. They take credit card and you wait for them for load up your tray before finding a seat, or they’ll give you a number. Utensils and napkins are on the side, although know that the spoons are dirty. There are bathrooms available but get the code from the cashier. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. Someone comes around to clean up so you don’t need to put things away. Overall a great spot to grab a quick, healthy lunch.
This is a full, in-depth review on Tender Greens in Santa Monica . I came here about a week ago with some friends and my family. The atmosphere is very special, and the walls are covered with neat graphics. I ordered the fisherman's stew and the Chinese chicken salad. Both were very good, but the salad was under dressed. I also ordered the famous carrot cake which was delicious as usual. In the past, I have gotten the salade nicoise, which is very fresh, and very tasty. The vegetables here are extremely fresh and the soups are prepared very well. In terms of price, this place was mid-range, but not too expensive. Overall, this place was excellent in terms of food and atmosphere. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is vegetarian/vegan or just someone that wants good, fresh vegetables or other dishes. I rated this place 5/5 stars because it is one of my favorite restaurants by the beach and a fantastic place to have lunch or dinner. I would definitely go again in the future.
Good quality food with reasonable pricing.
Vegetarian options available. Lots of seating inside and outside (shade available).
Fresh food that tastes homemade. I had the chipotle bbq chicken, mashed potatoes, and Caesar salad (called “romaine hearts” on the menu). Would eat at again, just recommend eating inside. We ate outside and a fitness class was happening nearby that was obnoxiously loud. Not exactly what I want to listen to while eating dinner.
