On Quality & Quantity

So yummy! Lots of great gf options.

Great place to eat and was very knowledgeable with what was gluten free and what wasn't.

Celiac friendly?

No

I ordered a gluten free (marked) salad. Half way through my salad, I found a crouton in my food! I complained to them and they were very understanding and made me a new one. I watched them very carefully the second time around. I will say, some areas where they have the food were a little messy and I could see how cross-contamination can occur pretty easily here. Unfortunately, within a couple of hours I felt quite sick. I will not be back.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great salad and bowls with so many gluten free options. Delicious!!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

AMAZING! I come here routinely. They have a wide selection of gluten free bowls and salads. Very very good!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I am Celiac and eat here frequently! Never have had any issues with being glutened. They are clean, and will take every precaution.

Staff is helpful and menu is clearly marked with gf items. There are only a few items in the menu that are not gf. The food is fresh and they will adjust the order if you ask them to do so. Very good place!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I am very sensitive and have never gotten sick here. Their menu is pretty easy to navigate, but they also have an excellent interactive menu on their website. You can choose your dietary restrictions (gluten free, dairy free, etc.) and it will show you exactly what works for you. We have also found the staff to be knowledgeable and their prep procedure to be pretty safe at avoiding cross contamination. They make the food in front of you (think Subway or Chipotle style) and you can easily add or subtract items from the dishes, or create your own. They use a clean metal bowl to assemble the salads for each customer and there is an individual scoop in each ingredient. It’s one of those rare places where I feel like I can order like a “normal” person and don’t have to ask them a million questions to avoid being miserable later.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Tell them you have a gluten allergy when you start going through the line and a single person will put your salad together and make sure nothing with gluten goes in.

Almost everything is gluten free. However steak and some dressings are not. I usually do a build your own bowl. They have a list of which dressings are gluten free right on the glass where they make the bowls. I’ve been to this location 5 or 6 times and never have gotten sick.

They have a nice selection of vegetables and protien. We were able to create our own salads and avoid gluten and dairy products. They do not offer gluten free bread.

The staff seemed to be knowledgeable but I still became very ill after eating here.

We have eaten here 3 times and every time has been delicious! Everything is fresh and high quality. Place was clean. I highly recommend it for your next Salad.

Celiac friendly?

No

They assured me all salads were gluten free. After I got sick I looked up the salad I had and sure enough the dressing and meat marinade had gluten. Not going back

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Lots of options and had an board hung up for customers to see what contained gluten and other allergens

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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!

Got sick two times in a row after having one of the GF bowls.

Great--I eat here weekly and the staff is educated about cross contamination.

I have celiac disease. They use a clean bowl everytume they make a salad, and the person making my salad washed her hands without me even asking. You can look on their website on their allergy menu and choose no gluten and it will tell you what you can eat. I had the Pomona salad and it was really tasty. I had no issues at all.

Many choices gluten-free. Staff very knowledgeable. Great salads.

Ordered a salad and found a pasta piece. Don't bother

Good salads. Possibility of cross contamination, but I had no problems.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

GF soup was delicious! My salad was good too.

They have a whole allergy selection online and things are labeled GF on the menu

Delicious, fresh, flavorful, healthy options and friendly staff.

Celiac friendly?

No

Delicious! Rated no on celiac friendly because of shared kitchen. I've only ordered salads so far but I am celiac and haven't had any issues.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place is AMAZING! Lots of made from scratch gf dressings. Citrus chicken is to die for. I have celiac with a very high allergy & have NOT gotten sick from any MADGreens locations on the east side. I eat here a couple times a week!

This is a good place for gluten free & Lactose free salads.

Gluten info was clearly posted. The staff was knowledgeable about what was gluten free, even when it was not posted.

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.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

salad and fresh juice. the juice is made of fresh ingredients and nothing in a bottle. the cups they use are recycled plant material. Great salads!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great salads with plenty of options. Dressings are clearly labeled . (Would suggest the red pepper one) In regards to the previous review, there aren't very many gluten ingredients to have cross contamination. Obviously it's possible, but unless you are hyper sensitive, you should be fine. (Do any restaurants really "guarantee" you won't have issues?) My sister and I (both celiacs) had no problems.

Great salads with all allergens of all dressings clearly listed.

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.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Mad Greens is awesome, their food is very delicious and fresh made. They also make it very easy to find what is GF

Celiac friendly?

No

Very over priced and unfriendly toward questions. Just trying to order is a nightmare, even though the menu is labeled. They look at you like you are crazy for even asking how to order gluten free. Great concept, but too much risk of cross contamination for this Celiac.

Great salads and staff understands how to make GF options.

love these salads
