Tender Greens

Joshua Van Dyk thinks this is the best salad place in Santa Monica. The food is fantastic. I have been there several times and love it. The line can get a bit long but moves fast. 2 thumbs up!

The backyard steak salad is the kind of super-simple meal you’d make for yourself at home: grilled steak over a green salad with a bit of horseradish vinaigrette dressing . Read more

Amazing salad place. Doesn't look like much from the outside (architect help please) but the fresh local produce food makes up for all of it. The tuna salad is to die for and vegan alternatives ok.

You can't go wrong. Food is really good here. Personal favorite is the Herb Crusted Albacole, grilled rare with kale salad and mushrooms .

Their salads are great, 'natch. I love the salt and pepper chicken and their *fried chicken *! Yum. Yeah it's a bit pricey , but paying for such high quality food is worth it.

The gazpacho is amazing. This one is cantaloupe based and it has a kick to it. So yummy.

ALWAYS order the hot plate. The mashed potatoes were SO GOOD,the steak and roasted vegetables were cooked to perfection (steak 's usually a bit rare but you can change that) and the salad , my god!!

This is the right place for healthy food & so delicious ????????

My fave salad place! However there's usually just 1 kiosk for orders. Do your part for humanity: Read menu in advance & have your order READY at kiosk. Helps move along an always incredibly long line .

Officially in love with this place. The portion sizes are perfectly smaller than normal and the staff couldn't be friendlier.

Salad in a raw was tasty. When eating you don't feel like a cow. Roasted tomato soup was also awesome. Try!

A casual place two minutes from the beach . Truly healthy food with ample amount of options to chose from. Fast, nutritious, and pleasant. Highly recommend.

I LOVE this fresh & friendly place! Delish mashed potatoes , kale & happy vegan salads , sandwiches , EVERYTHING! Desserts are always delicious, especially the cowboy cookies & s'mores bars . Great staff !

Tender Greens is a slam dunk dinner with arugula salad , roasted corn , seared tuna , & a red velvet cupcake paired with mint lemonade . Their tagline should be, "it's not just salad "

Healthy and tasty. Chicken and steak were perfectly marinated to a T. Mashed potato was a bit too buttery. Lemonade is good but rather sour. Brownie topping is a piece of pure chocolate--yum!

The line is usually out the door, especially at lunch and dinner time, but it moves quickly. The staff is always nice. The food is always good - try the hot plate!

Pork shoulder sandwich (special) was awesome! Falafel wrap is great w/o pickles , quite spicy .

Their green hummus is spot on. I always get the veggies of the day on the side and the simple kale salad ! Their tomato soup is also super tasty.

This place is amazing! Fast, courteous service with a smile, and that's before you even sit down to eat the delicious food! I highly recommend the entire experience!

Great chipotle chicken sandwich , wonderful salads , pleasant carrot cake , and passable french press coffee .

Tuna nicoise ???? one of the best salads I've ever had

Awesome salads and great value for the price. I recommend the chicken soup in addition.

The perennial line is worth it for the food. I know it's been said a million times over but the marinated steak and mashed potatoes are absolutely amazing. LOVE!

Delicious, affordable and fast. Great healthy options . You must try it.

I could not resist myself to order seasonal veggies to go although I was feeling full because they look so good

Best greens.. Endless fresh drink is a bonus..

Go with the hot plate or one of the salads . The mashed potatoes are delicious but you can substitute for grilled vegetables if you want.

Everything is good here, if you go during lunchtime expect long lines . If you can order ahead of time, otherwise try going after 12:30 - 1:00 pm if you can.

The herb crusted albacore hot plate with mashed potatoes and kale salad is to die for. And all the employees are so nice! Borderline creepy, but very nice!

The sweet potato pie bar is the best #dessert I've ever had @TenderGreens! If you see it, get it!

Seriously, you will regret it if you don't try this sweet potato pie . They only have it in November & December. Act now!

Lovely spot near 3rd Street. Kale and salami salad is great.

Can't go wrong with the Backyard Marinated Steak Sandwich with a Kale Simple Salad or the Roasted Roma Tomato Soup . Skip the coffee .

Fave: agua Fresca ; Skip: fried chicken

chipotle chicken hot dish with mashed and butter lettuce , black cherry soda and pressed coffe with orange olive oil cake !!!

Beautiful patio in the back with lots of room.

I absolutely LOVED the chipotle barbecue chicken salad ! ????????????????

Literally anything is possible here. 100% always my go to pick where to eat and plus I don't feel guilty after.

The simple salad with steak is a good way to go.

The grilled albacore hot plate with mashed potatoes and spinach salad is the bomb... everyone that works at the Santa Monica location is super nice.

Tuna nicoise ! It was awesome

Everything on the menu is delicious. Options are somewhat limited but it does not feel repetitive at all.

Best mashed potatoes I've gotten in a restaurant .

For sides, the mashed potatoes and Kale salad are BOMB!!! For mains, the steak and chipotle chicken are insanely delicious!

Salt pepper chicken is so good with romaine hearts

The complimentary garlic bread is yummy

Huge disappointment. I ordered the seared tuna salad . The tuna wasn’t freshly cooked, and came with stale potatoes and bread . The salad mix was almost exclusively iceberg lettuce. NOT worth the money.

It's very nice to sit outside with the good food. :P

Chinese Chicken salad and steak sandwiches are amazing

Everything, I mean, everything
