Mixt Greens Inc

Chincy serving of toppings, long lines & pricey for a salad. I really thought this place was great when they first opened. Salads were fresh, pricing was a little high but do-able. Now, I avoid the place like the plague. Basically, if you go on the weekdays at lunchtime, plan on waiting in a Disneyland style line. They opened up two other places since this one opened, but the lines are still long. If you get there when they open, you'll still wait in line as they are so busy taking care of their phone orders that they just leave their customers in line waiting. They have also gotten extremely chincy on the toppings (servers need to go back to tong school). They're even to the point where they have pre-maded packets of chicken (they apparently have someone weighing it in advance and I think the scale is set for one ounce....yeah, what a joke for an additional $2.50). The salads I order usually run about $12.50 so I'm not quite sure why people think that's reasonably priced (it's not). This place is just a good idea gone bad in regards to customer service. I can't tell you how disappointed I am at the way this place has regressed. It really is a shame. I have since gone back to my previous favorite salad place on Irving Street and save about $5 a salad. One word for Mixt Greens.....OVERATED!…

perfect place for salad lovers. Delicious salads...yes there are long lines but I often judge a restaurant by the crowd size and obviously this place is popular. My favorite item on the menu thus far is the Madison. This salad combines grilled chicken, asparagus and yummy pine nuts. The price is typical for the location and it worth it for the healthy feeling of eating right. I highly recommend Mixt Greens for all salad lovers!…

Pricey & an awful dining experience. When this place first opened, I would haved rated everything 5 Star from the salad down to the employees. But honestly people, at some point it needs to be more than just the salad, doesn't it? So if I were to coin the Janet Jackson song, "what have you done for me lately"...this is what Mixt Greens has done:

1) Prices have gone up substantially. If you want mushrooms, it is now an additional $2 for a tong's worth (it's a specialized item now....oooh), and most of the meats have gone up in price also

2) Plan on allowing 1 1/2 to 2 hours for lunch if you plan on going between 11:30 and 1:30 as often the lines are out the door (feels like Disneyland without all the interactive stuff to distract you during your long wait)

3) They refuse to open earlier so even if you get there at 10:30am, you still have to wait because they're taking care of all their call in orders and practically ignoring the customers in front of them (plan on 15 to 20 minutes because only one person is handling the line)

4) They continue to let people save seats even though they haven't even gotten their salad yet (often tables go unused for 10 minutes at a time because of the inconsiderate people pulling this tactic). In the meantime, you're sitting there with your salad and have to go outside in the cold

Bottom line for me is, it needs to be an enjoyable dining experience and this is where Mixt Greens falls dreadfully short. At some point maybe they'll address it, but for now it's apparent they don't give a damn. Of course, why should they as long as people flock in there like sheep? I made my last trip there today. I don't have the time or patience for poor service and am through with this place. Looks like it's back to Pluto's for me (Irving Street only). The salad may not be quite as good, but there aren't any lines usually and the pricing and service is more to my liking.…
