Fancy Looking Over-priced Bowl Place. I got a steak bowl. It was alright. Wasn’t sure it’s worth what I paid for.

So let me start by saying the food was good. Very flavorful. But the portion size was embarrassing. I love Whole foods, and I think they can be pricey but I like the quality. However I don’t like getting ripped off and that’s how I felt after we got our bowls. I had the crispy cauliflower and my husband had the charred tofu. As I noted it was good but it was a snack. Also it took a while to get our food. And it was kind of messy in my opinion. I’m disappointed in this part of whole foods. I love the hot bar inside Whole foods (it’s one of the best ones I’ve been too), and will go there before I come here again unless they make some changes.

We really like it. We shared a half roasted chicken with grilled corn and plantains. So good. And the corn bread!

When i first started coming here it was priced higher but the portions were huge and i liked getting 2 meals especially since i can only come once a month. They have now cut back on price and portion size but also on menu options either way it’s still a great menu with healthy sides which is hard to find overall in the fast food industry. The food and staff have always been amazing here. I would like for it to go back but either way it’s still great to eat here. I look forward to eating there every Atlanta trip to whole foods.

I can’t believe Whole Foods went to the expense and trouble to build a restaurant inside the store and then do it so badly. Unlike other reviews, my portion was huge, but I was looking for quality not quantity. I had the Kevin Gellispe, Flavor of Andes bowl. They have rotisserie chicken in the warming drawer. They cut in in half, then they take the veges from a cooler, place it on a stove top skillet, warm it all up and put it in a bowl. The chicken was dry from too long in warmer and the veges didn’t even get warmed up. Don’t waste your time here. The hot bar is much better.

One star because zero stars isn’t an option. This place is absolutely terrible. Can’t believe Whole Foods has their name behind this. Hopefully you don’t get the girl who can’t even scoop precooked food into a bowl correctly. It took 45 mins from order to the register and everything is already made. It’s an absolute disaster. The bowls sound tasty but what you get is bland and sub par at best. It’s a joke really. This was the third and final try for this place. It won’t be around for much longer. Don’t waste your money.

Was drawn in by the seemingly healthy menu.. The taste of the food made me regret my decision to dine in. The cauliflower tasted like cardboard. The chicken tasted like sandpaper. I think the kale is still in my throat. $30 down the drain. The people were nice but the food… #nah

Seems like a good idea, fails in the details. Needed one thing from whole foods. Decided to play some pool and get a beer before getting that one thing. The pool table area is already neglected and it’s not even that old. We mentioned our disappointment to two staff members who told us that management is well aware that the equipment sucks (all cues missing tips, tables covers are starting to deteriorate). No, apologies, no trying to make anything right. Just “yeah we know”. Left without even finishing the beers we ordered.

Great place to grab a healthy but and also play a quick round off pool. There aren’t many places where you can munch on kale, quinoa and sweet potatoes while drinking beer. The prices are reasonable ($14 on average)and the portions are pretty large. I can comfortably eat there for dinner and have the remaining for lunch the next day. Try the Peruvian marinated chicken bowl, you won’t regret it.

Food was good and it was a lot of food for $7. However, it took an absurd amount of plastic for me to dine in. My meal came in two large plastic containers (would have fit in one) and were filled with 5 plastic condiment containers (none of which I asked for). The employee was very kind and tried to go above and beyond by grabbing a hefty stack of napkins and a plastic knife, fork, and spoon from the self service station for me before checking out. However, I carry my own utensils so this was also wasted plastic. I know this sounds granola, but I was hoping for healthy as wells as eco-conscious meal options. Unfortunately I will not be going back unless I can use my own containers.
