I usually get my salads at Whole Foods since I can pick whatever I want in it instead of a custom one. Being lazy, I looked up places that delivered and was glad I came up Greens Up! I ordered exactly what I wanted– they have a good selection of greens, veges, fruits, meats and cheeses. As for the dressing, I went with their popular Apple Vinaigrette. The salad was exactly the way I wanted it and the dressing was light and tangy. Loved it. My sister custom ordered the Jarvis w/Roasted Garlic dressing and my husband got the Sonoma Salad. We all enjoyed our salads and for less than $ 13, we were STUFFED! It really is a lot of food. I would definitely order from here again and when I’m not lazy, I’ll probably go in. Delivery was through OrderAhead and charged a delivery fee and tip. So like an extra $ 10 – 12.

Uninspiring salad with some ingredients from a can. But hard to get a meal under $ 10 on Main thanks to the hipster invasion so glad they are here! Lemonade style mini deli salads would be a lot better though.

Quick hunger fix. They offer organic meats, which I appreciate. The salads are huge, and even if you add meat, it still only costs $ 10. I like heading here after Yoga. Fresh ingredients, friendly staff, quick to make and yummy to eat. The only problem is parking is nuts in this part of town.

I love the Sawtelle salad! I heard its one of their popular ones;) Don’t be stupid and take out all the goodies(dates/cheese) cuz then you’ll hate it and end up writing a nasty review like I did! So I hope Greens Up forgives me, for that was the old me that didn’t know better. Their salad is so big, if you finish it I’ll call you BEAST! Yummy blueberry mint lemonade-so light on natural cane sugar you’ll barely notice it. Staff is always super friendly. Went in at 3pm Saturday, full of cute healthy people oo lala!

Ordered for pick up from this place cause I was craving some veggies today. And holy crap their salads are huuuge. Ideally I’d knock off a dollar or two, but overall, delicious. The house dressing is great. I’d come back.

Super solid salads. Heck, you choose the ingredients it should be good! Haha Anyways, all the ingredients are always fresh. I do a mix of arugula and spinach, add garbanzos some chicken or turkey with tomatoes and carrots slices. Jump in and grab their iced tea too. Simply the best around.

It’s ok. Here’s the thing and I hope they read this. They are in an amazing location cause there are no other places where you can grab a salad quickly like this. If they took 30 seconds to chop the salad it would be WORLDS better. Also, the proteins could stand to be better. The turkey and chicken are really dry. If they even just took the 30 seconds to just chop the salad I bet they would notice a spike in their business and it would cost them nothing.

I’m not a salad fan but I loved Greens Up! You can customize your own salad or get one of their pre-made ones. I went with the Sawtelle — their most popular. They make it with roasted turkey cubes, corn, dates, and goat cheese with a light vinaigrette. So good! They also have a variety of healthy juices. All of their stuff is on the pricier side but nothing is outrageous. They have a few places to sit but this is more of a place to pick up a salad and leave to the beach or stroll on Main Street. Definitely coming back!

While juicing last week I ended up having to stay in Santa Monica longer than I attended and I was left without the juices that I had already prepared at home so I stumbled upon this place asking if they had coldpressed juice and sure enough they did but for seven dollars well I was desperate to stay on track so I bought a green juice it had kale celery spinach lemon ginger and something else in it LOL it was as expected nothing special about it. The salads looked really good and I really look forward to returning and trying a salad.

A Must every time I come to Santa Monica! It’s such a healthy choice! I am always creating my own custom salad, with some greens(preferably spinach), carrots julienne, mushrooms, topped with almonds. I’ve added feta cheese as protein previously, this time I chose turkey breast. When it comes to the dressing, it’s hard to decide between approx. 10 choices! They can tell you the exact ingredients. This was helpful as I don’t like raw onion. All of that is tossed if you wish, and served in a huge stainless steel salad bowl. Their lemonade is also yummy. The place itself is clean and light, a bit industrial but they have added cute stuff that makes it a bit more individual and cosy.

Delicious delicious delicious! HUGE portion sizes of amazing A+ salads. I’ve tried their Sonoma salad and their Caesar salad. I strongly advocate toward adding avocado to everything!

The customer service at Greens up is terrible. The owner, Rob, and the manager are extremely rude and unaccommodating; the rest of the staff act as if they are scared of being fired by their tyrant boss. The salads are mediocre at best. I would much rather give my money to family run and super friendly Monster Salad on Santa Monica Blvd and 4th Street.

The philosophy of Greens Up appears to be that any lack of finesse or ingredient quality(the grilled chicken breast cubes were awfully tough!) can be made for in volume. These salads are quite big, and are served in the giant metal mixing bowls in which they are composed. And while that isn’t the most enthusiastic recommendation, the results are pretty satisfying, so I’d give that philosophy a qualified thumbs up. Sure, I’d rather be at Tender Greens, but this was a solid, workmanlike salad.

A real salad restaurant! Fast and inexpensive. Walk up counter. Pick your type of lettuce/kale, etc. and add four choices of extras from a long list. Pay a buck or two extra for cheeses and a few other items. You can have them toss the salad in the dressing of your choice, or have it left on the side. If you eat at the store, they serve your salad in a stainless steel bowl. This place is a salad lovers paradise.

I’ve been coming to both locations for years and have always enjoyed their salads. While I think the initial thought of paying over $ 10 for a salad is ridiculous, especially given places like Tender Greens, this place more than makes up for it. So finally, I decided to write this review to share the secret… this place is bomb! I just had the Sawtelle salad, again, with kale, spinach, and arugula as the greens base. And I’m always impressed that they don’t cheap out on all the other goodies: turkey, dates, sliced almonds, goat cheese, to make this salad worth it! It’s the convenience of having all these items in a large packed salad bowl where everything is always super fresh and high quality bringing out all the intended flavors. They have other salads too and you can customize everything. You can mix up the greens you want at no extra cost. Give them a shot if you want a healthy meal

This place is great. They have a big selection of fresh ingredients and I have not had a salad that i did not enjoy. The salads are really huge and I usually share it with someone. At around $ 11.50 a salad, they are pretty pricey but definitely worth it. I also love the organic green tea!

Came here directly after leaving the gym to grab lunch with a friend. I asked where I could find the bathroom as I was hoping to wash my hands before eating. I was informed that they didn’t have a «public» restroom, and that I could go to the coffee shop next door instead. WTF? I’m shocked it’s not illegal to fail to provide a sanitary place to ATLEAST wash your hands before a meal. Get it together, Greens Up. You’re not a taco truck.

Okay, let me just start off saying that this place is for salad enthusiasts. If you wouldn’t pay $ 10+ for a salad, don’t bother going here! With that said, this place is like heaven when you crave a fresh, yummy salad! They are generous with their portion size. Everything tastes super fresh. I haven’t tried their menu items; I’ve only made my own combination salad. I gotta say I’m a satisfied customer each time! You’re always greeted with a smile — great customer service! The interior of the store is really clean. That’s how you’d want a salad place to be — over the top sanitary. Overall, it’s definitely worth shelling out a couple more bucks for a salad.

Meh. I got the ‘somewhat ceaser” salad with chicken — about $ 13 bucks. For a salad. Jeez. Anyway, there was barely any blue cheese or parmesan cheese. Oh you want more? Add $ 1.50 per ingredient. Crazy.
