Granted I visited when it wasn't busy, but the workers took extreme care. Instead of taking ingredients out of the normal containers, the worker went into the back and used entirely new batches of the different ingredients. Most of their dressings are GF!
Yes
My visit was in March 2016 -- the employee I worked with seemed well-trained in cross-contamination issues, and the salad I had was simple but tasty and safe.
I had trusted Mad Greens in the past. Yesterday I was told by the Mad Greens employee at different location that there is no chance of me eating there without getting sick. "We make no guarantees regarding gluten because there are no controls in our food prep. We use the same cutting boards and knives to cut bread and vegetables without washing in between. Even if that cutting board was washed, we work side-by-side with gluten containing ingredients. All vegetables have probably been exposed to gluten, even those in the bins that have not been put on the line yet. It would be safer if you don't eat here." So, I walked out. I do not understand how anything can say gluten free if there are no controls. That employee scared me out of the restaurant. I called corporate and they have not returned my call.
No
I asked if their gluten free items were safe for someone with a gluten allergy and he said he didn't know, but probably wouldn't risk it. I ended up getting a make your own salad anyway. They use clean utensils and a clean bowl. it was alright, but i ate very simply, since i was worried about cross contamination.
No
I love going to MAD Greens! They always have a wonderful selection of soups and salads that are safe! Try the Tarragon Vinigarette!!
Great healthy choices. Clearly labeled gf
Great place to eat GF. GF items are listed.
I eat at two different Denver locations and have had no problems. The menu is clearly marked and the food is amazing!

Staff was helpful, everything was clearly marked. He used a new scoop and fresh not used ingredients from the back to avoid cross contamination. Tasty!

Delicious (cold) salads made for you Can make your own selections or order a prepared salad (Ty Cobb, Edgar Allen Poe, etc.). Salad dressings are marked GF but prepared selections are not. One server was GF knowledgeable; the other was not.

This place is so good! We go 2-3 times a month. It was the first place I went after getting diagnosed.
All the seasonings and dressings are clearly labeled, and there’s SO MANY gluten free options. Very few items along the line even have gluten, so there’s very little risk of cross contamination. The staff is great about taking precautions. The southwestern Caesar is my husband’s favorite, and I alternate between the Pomona and Edgar Allen Poe. The dressing is so addictive that I had to get some for my house.

I have eaten here many times and have never gotten sick. Allergen info for dressings is visibly posted. Many soups are gluten free. I feel very safe eating here.
