Sometimes you want something pretty quick (not fast food), reasonably priced, and good. Hard to find, but Tender Greens does just this exceptionally well. This was our first visit. Our initial reaction was that the menu was limited: a number of salads, A steak, A fish, and several chicken dishes. It was a cafeteria set up, which also made me... More

Delicious! I eat here whenever possible! I am a salad afficianado, but my English husband is a meat a potatoes lover. We can both be happy at Tender Greens. The Grilled Chicken salad with home made cilantro dressing, tortilla chips and acacado is one of the best salads in San Diego! Dressing is fresh with a little kick to it.... More

I love coming here on my work lunches, i always go with the Happy Vegan (tho im not a Vegan) it just taste's so good and i keep coming back here week after week.

Made my first visit to this friendly place for a late lunch. Impressed with the staff's cordiality and the fine food. It's impressive to learn that all the food originates within 100 miles of San Diego. The food was very fresh, nicely prepared and there was a good variety of menu choices to satisfy every palate. It's a gem and... More

My vegetarian daughter and I ate at the UTC location while vacationing in San Diego. I wish we could have eaten there every day. The food was fresh, delicious, mostly locally sourced and a great value. The service was somewhat unexpected in a cafeteria-style restaurant; our glasses of delicious hibiscus tea were never empty and we were provided with to-go... More

So glad I checked Tripadvisor and found this gem. The food was amazing. I hope to get back there again before we have to go home! The salads tasted very fresh, not surprising since they get a lot of traffic through there. Nice patio for dining. I could probably eat here a couple of times a week if I lived... More

If you want to try and eat healthy, without skimping on the food, I would recommend Tender Greens. Huge, tasty salads and/or sandwiches. You won't leave hungry from here. Service was excellent also.

By far the best casual meals in the area, mostly a local clientele, we ate two meals and both were outstanding. The produce used is fresh and very well served in creative dishes. Adding a side to an entree creates enough for two. We will return when in the area.

I have eaten here twice on visits to San Diego. The food is delicious and perfect for us veggie-types. It is so hard to find good veg restaurants, and this one is a gem. Will return whenever we are in SD! I am a Californian but now living in the Midwest. I disagree with other reviews that it is overpriced... More
