SWEETGREEN:

Sweetgreen is a welcomed, new chain restaurant into Austin, with it’s healthy, fresh salads with quality ingredients.  They have an App which you can download, choose from a variety of salads, and customize to your heart’s desire.  They even have a special tab for allergies, which will alert you which items contain those allergens.  So, for this Gluten Free girl, I was in heaven.  Their delivery is via UberEats, so it’s quick and easy, and you get realtime tracking.  I give it a 5/5…so enjoy every bite, my healthy friends.

TIP: Multiple locations across the US with varying Dine In, Carry Out and Delivery options.
