Welcome to our kitchen! Two chefs and a foodie set out to change the way people eat for the better. Our inspiration? The meals we had when our friends came over. The food. The pairings. The exploration. The energy. And the promise that on any given day we’d eat or drink something we wouldn’t find anywhere else. So we opened Tender Greens in 2006 and started a food revolution. We start with the best ingredients, cook from the heart and let our food do the talking. No compromises, no matter what. Sustainability is at the core of all the choices we make, from our food to our planet to the future of farming. It’s in our DNA. After all, we’re chefs.
Modern, cafeteria-style chain serving area-sourced, globally influenced plates, sandwiches & salads.

Food is excellent and fresh!! Occasionally tastes like it’s been out under the lamps but it’s still fresh. Love the selection of drinks as well. The meat only comes cooked this way (medium ) so I was not able to eat while pregnant

Fresh, flavorful, and satisfying, Tender Greens delivers when it comes to quality. I ordered the chicken salad, and it was loaded with crisp romaine, perfectly grilled chicken, radishes, pickled onions, and feta. The dressing was tangy and well-balanced, and the toasted bread on the side added a nice crunch. Everything tasted super fresh and thoughtfully prepared.
That said, the order took longer than expected to come out, even though it wasn’t very busy. Not a huge issue if you’re not in a rush, but worth noting. Overall, still a favorite spot when I’m craving something healthy and delicious!

I ordered food for a long time now and it started a couple of months ago ago when the food turned from good to bad. It’s not just “I get one bad delivery”, it’s always bad. It’s burned or undercooked. Potatoes are super undercooked. I just ordered from door dash. Do you guys have new cooks? If so you might want to teach them how to cook properly.

I usually order in from DoorDash but the last couple of times my food is just burned and black. This didn’t happen just once but multiple times. Guys you need to do better, I pay money for that burned food.

I like their salad with mashed potatoes and Salmon here but one is looking at nearly $19 for that which is not all that cheap. Food though is good. The lemon vinaigrette dressing is also quite good. I come here quite often to eat lunch. No cash accepted here and the portions are not all that big for $19. Salmon here is generally good but Salmon is not all that hard to cook. I normally ask for a mix of their romaine lettuce with butter lettuce for the salad with tomatoes and avocados along their lemon vinaigrette dressing.
Been a hit or a miss here with mashed potatoes often tasting watered down.
Went back today and ordered short ribs with mashed potatoes and green beans. The French green beans were like snacking on uncooked carrots. Were they even cooked? ♂️

Came here with my boyfriend for our first date and it was delicious. The atmosphere was really nice and the manager was really funny.

Tasty, fresh, and worthy! Definitely try their steak, and their fried chicken. Their salads are good but bare in mind that you won’t have a salad, it is basically one green plus a dressing. The mashed potato is really good, too! When you get a drink you can ask for a refill in a to-go cup!
I highly suggest Tender Greens, if you are looking for a semi healthy food and not a very heavy one!

I used to be a regular at this restaurant in LA. But, for some reason, this branch isn’t up to standards. I placed a takeout order for the steak plate with mashed potatoes and vegetables. When picking it up I didn’t check the food (usually don’t). At home, I noticed they gave me half a piece of bread instead of a whole. Also, the vegetable portion was very small with green beans missing. Moreover, the steak wasn’t seasoned well and was bland. Very underwhelming experience. I won’t return since there are plenty of better places in the area.

Way too expensive for the amount of protein that you get. They also don’t care if you request dark meat/white meat and they’ll jut give you what they want. Laughably small protein servings and I’ve also given them 3 chances thinking it’d get better. Never again.

I have been going here weekly for the past few years. I appreciate that they cook your food fresh! I like the Chipotle Barbecue Chicken Salad, Grilled Steak Plate, Chicken Pesto Sandwich, and Katsu Bowl. The food is truly very good — there is no denying it.
There is one major downside: they frequently forget things in your order and there is considerable variation from day to day. I order stock menu items without any substitutions and they would frequently forget sides, forget salad dressing, forget ingredients in the salad, forget to season the meat etc. It seems to happen a little less frequently than before but it still does happen. I always check to make sure everything is there now whenever I pick up the food.
Also given the price point, although it is clean and friendly, I wouldn’t necessarily say this place is “nice.” It has a similar vibe to Panera Bread (although with much better food). I wouldn’t take someone here to impress them.
