Grabbagreen

First time here and I was surprised by how good everything was. I had the Fab & Fruity Smoothie along with the French Quarter bowl with shrimp. OMG my taste buds were in heaven. The two gentleman that were working 10.3.19, that evening, were great. I will definitely be going back to try more goodies.

Thank God for this place! We are here visiting for a large group get together & they’ve reserved a room & pizza catering at Strike City Bowling. So no options for me who eats plant-based :( But thankfully GrabbaGreen is right outside Strike City!! Healthy options for all diets! No hormones or antibiotics chicken & beef & no GMO’s or preservatives & gluten-free! It was my first visit & Jeff did a great job helping me pick out a delicious bowl. They have many smoothies & juices as well. I’m extremely picky with what I eat & they made a bowl & smoothie the way I would at home. Portions are a good size too! The staffs’ t-shirts have printed on the back: food is medicine. Yes, totally agree!! I joined the rewards program. They just need a phone number - easy. I’m glad to see franchises like this & hopefully I’ll find it in my home state.

Sign says they close at 9. I took a 10 min walk from my hotel, got there at 8:30 and they were already closing with the doors locked. Spoke to staff from window and would not allow me in. UPDATE!!! I got a chance to meet with Jeff and Shakeem - Great guys to meet. I am changing my rating for their heart and ergency to make things right.

People will complain about the portion sizes and about what they see for trainees. I think everything here is perfect. I currently work here, and this is what they do for trainees. You watch. You get to watch how everything is done instead of being thrown in without a clue and completely slowing down everything. That's why when new people are trained, they're seen as "standing on the side" or "taking a lunch break." We learn by watching and seeing where everything is and how it's done, first day, then we start doing things on our own. It encourages competency and builds confidence because you don't have to be deathly afraid of screwing things up as soon as you walk in. It's a radically different approach, but one that's so much more efficient. They really do care about the health of their customers, and all the ingredients are fresh or made in the house (with the exception of the bottled drinks sold on the side, such as coconut water and expresso cold brewed coffee.) I'm impressed - the other health food place I have worked at had prepackaged and frozen materials, but this place has raw ingredients, and organized everything so as little cross contamination as possible can occur (for example, the almond milk is set aside from all the other juices/milks used in case someone has almond allergies.) And it's pristine. Working in the food industry, there's a high chance of finding places that have the mentality to just clean up the workspace, and not necessarily everywhere else. Here, EVERYTHING will get cleaned. Daily. It's wonderful to work for a place where the proper guidelines are followed and they care about the quality of the food, as well as the proper training of their workers.
