Reviews Jack Greens

Jack greens is a lunchtime staple for the working week. Favourite bowl is the Waymouth Super Bowl. Although the flavour combination sounds bizarre it is super tasty and super filling. Haven’t been for breakfast but am intrigued.

working across the road from here when it first opened and for the first year I would buy my lunch from here 3 or more times a week. I worked my way through the menu and loved the seasonal menu's, although it was mildly devastating when the season ended and a new favorite disappeared. i haven't been as regularly for the last 6 months or so due to saving for a holiday but decided to go today and have one of my old favorites the hola mexico. First disappointment was being told there is a 50 cent surcharge for avocado. This is a bit "subway" I mean its in the salad not as an extra and if you want to charge more, just put the price of the salad up by 50 cents. The salad itself was a touch disappointing as the dressing was very sour and vinegary. it used to have a lot more jalapeno flavour which was missing today. Maybe it was a bad batch but Jack's if you have changed the recipe please change it back.

Fantastic range of salads and grain bowls. Locally roasted specialty coffee which was great!

Fast and really friendly service! Very happy to recommend this place.

I decided to give this place a go after reading raving reviews, and I'm so glad I did! 

Jack Greens has this fantastic online system that allows you to put through your order in advance and select a time you'd like to pick up your order. You can pick a menu item, or customize your own salad; either way, your order will be packed and ready to go at the specified time.

I went with the Fattoush Salad (roasted chicken, chopped cos lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, pomegranate, radish, pita chips & sesame seeds + hommus & sumac dressing), which was a salad on their Seasonal (Autumn) Menu, except I substituted the cos lettuce for baby spinach and rocket, and removed the pita chips and added toasted almonds. The toasted almonds was definitely a good decision; it provided such a fantastic crunch to the salad, which was already packed with a whole range of textures from all the different ingredients. Everything in the salad was extremely fresh, and the dressing, which I selected to be "light" added the perfect amount of acidity and tang. The salad didn't look that large, but there was a very generous amount of chicken chunks which made it a rather filling, balanced meal.

I also tried a chia seed and cranberry biscuit. Biscuit is probably the wrong word, as it was essentially a soft oat cookie. Either way, I enjoyed it and from memory it was free from refined sugar, which is a plus. My only gripe is that it was rather oily. I left it sitting in the paper bag for a few hours before getting to it, and it had left this huge oily patch where the cookie was in contact with the bag.

I can see why this place has received so much praise. The food consists of simple ingredients but is executed so well. Their online ordering system is very efficient and well suited to busy working individuals. The salad I had today was absolutely delicious, and I'm already thinking about my order tomorrow.

There are people who claim their business sell healthy food but slack on the ingredients, and then there are genuine health businesses who know what they're doing. Jack Greens is the latter.

I love Jack Greens since it opened up, and it's comforting knowing that it still has long lines every single day. Strategically positioned within Waymouth St, it caters for mostly office goers who want a quick and healthy lunch. I think JG's strongest suit is not its food, but its hospitality and its ability to connect with its patrons. They're always coming up with inventive menus, the staff are always friendly, the choices are interactive and you can alter them to suit your needs, and the food of course is top notch. The guys who own the joint are seriously the friendliest bunch of people and I love that they are doing so well.

JG's innovative menu changes with the seasons - at the moment they're launching their autumn menu which contains ingredients more prevalent in the season. Which is good, because you know that you can always get something new each time you come back. Their staple menu is outstanding as well. They also do great coffee, and give their hot chocolate a go, it is yum! On JG's website, you're also able to choose your own ingredients which they will make for you to pick up on the spot. It's these little inventive things that JG does which makes it such an outstanding place to dine in.

Wow! Best salad bar by far. Every ingredient is so fresh and tasty, and there are so many options to choose from. I especially love that they have a 'make your own' salad. Today I had rocket, baby spinach, carrot, corn, cherry tomato, spiced broccoli, felafel, and avocado with tahini and sumac dressings. It was perfect!
The prices are also very reasonable, given the quality and quantity.

Deciding to get my superfood on one Monday lunch, I (Amanda) stroll into Jack Greens expecting to get just another run of the mill salad...but boy was I wrong!  I am greeted by a smiling face holding an iPad and I am asked what I would like to order... Kimchi Chicken Salad please! Like anything else stood a chance against the kimchi (remember my love of all things pickled)! This is recorded and sent straight to the kitchen where after a short wait in line, another smiling face calls my name and begins creating my salad masterpiece!
