Feel-good food worth the wait

by Raspberry01 at Citysearch

We had a reservation on a Saturday night but still had to wait 20 min to be seated- it was a little hectic, quite a few people were repeatedly asking when they'd be seated. But to their defense, it was a Saturday night and they just had a party of 22 come in.

We finally got seated and the waitress was awesome. Very friendly, very energetic, and even memorized our orders without writing them down (a rare finding these days).

Food was delicious: veggie pizza as an app, then I had the Good Earth burger. Bison meat, carmelized onions, mushrooms, fancy cheese, even avocado on a whole-wheat bun! Despite being a cheeseburger, it didn't weigh me down or make me feel like I'd have to run 10 miles to keep it off my hips. Nope, I felt like I had a guilty splurge without the guilt!

For dessert was the bailey's chocolate torte. Ok, this was a bit of a guilty pleasure, but so very tasty! They also gave me a piece of their signature carrot cake to take home for my birthday.

Prices are reasonable- the whole menu is online

I look forward to going here again! Feel good about what you eat!

would not eat at

by miladydanira at Citysearch

I would not go to this restaurant because I am a diabetic and they do not provide nutrition information.I eat organic and all natural but even organic food can be bad for a diabetic depending on how it is prepared. I contacted the company headquarters and it took a week for a response,a voicemail,that didn't answer whether they had nutrition info or not.The person said to call her back,which I did,but she didn't respond again within three days so I called back and said forget it. Their customer service is the worst I have ever encountered. If you are a diabetic or need nutrition info due to a medical condition don't go to this restaurant,they don't care enough to provide it.

"My Place"!!

by billpbus at Citysearch

This is my favorite go-to restaurant! I've been going there for years and have always had great experiences! Start with the wonderful tea (or just go there for the tea)! Its wonderful and I buy it by pound to take home, but it just seems to taste better at the restaurant! Food is awesome and they will cater to any particular foods that you need! I've lost 250 pounds by eating healthy and The Good Earth is on my list of legal restaurants to go to! Friendly servers and a great atmosphere and a large menu combine for a great dining experience! Enjoy it often!!

Found different colored hair in both food dishes

by Trinas51 at Citysearch

Yesterday I went to The Good Earth and ordered the Mediterranean Plate and the chicken skewers. The Mediterranean plate had a blonde hair in the spread. I pushed it aside and ate one of the chicken skewers. When I picked up the second skewer there was a black hair on it. My friend was barely able to get his burger down. They did take care of the bill and apologize, but did nothing to try and get us back for another visit. My first and last time there.

• Pros: great tea
• Cons: hair in food

Tried and True

by sobeng at Citysearch

Good Earth has been going strong for over 25 years. I never tire of the amazing tea, the wonderful natural foods, great desserts and good service. The ambience has only gotten better over the years, as decor has changed with the times and been updated. Servers are pleasant, management warm and friendly. I went when my kids were little, and now both my boys work there, one serving and one hosting. It appeals to both young and old and us inbetweeners. Here's to another 25 years!

• Pros: Fabulous Food
• Cons: Have yet to find one

Culinary Zen?

by Maiero at Citysearch

This place is kind of cut-and-dry. Seems like this sort of restaurant attracts snobs and weirdos. Both times I've gone, the servers had clearly done too much acid in their day.

Food is good and so are the juices. I like the Vegamary, even though the name could be 1000 times more creative.

I like this place but I wish it weren't so pretentious and commercialized.

• Pros: Natural Foods (So I've been told), Tastiness
• Cons: Service is mediocre, Feels like a Country Kitchen

BEST RESTAURANT EVER!!!!

by IllstateGroupie at Citysearch

I love this place! I have tried numerous dishes and quite a few desserts and all have not been wrong. The Chicken Satay is wonderful and my husband craves their nachos and begs to go. Breakfast is wonderful as well and is a family favorite for Mother's Day! We are very healthy and eat most organic and natural food and this is the only restaurant I will eat at. I have been there at least 20 times and never had a bad experience either service or food. The Strawberry Shortcake when on the menu is some of the best I have ever had!

Perkins for want a bee healthy suburban fatsos.

by Eroticmisery at Citysearch

Heard about this place decided to give it a shot.Hmm the ambience is like an old bakers square or perkins style. So i was kinda thrown off. So I tried the Organic Oj and wheat grass. My Friend had the protien smoothie. The meals, I had the thai spicy chicken noodles, and my friend had the bison burger. So over all the meals where kinda not worth the price. So for health wise it's ok, The clientel is fat and old people. The service was good, but food is very average. kinda like a big bowl organic ripoff style. Not worth a revisit.

• Pros: Great service waiter rocked.
• Cons: Terrible ambience over priced bland food

BAD Service, but great food.

by Kasmiraus at Citysearch

This was difficult, because I absolutely loved the menu, and the food was really good. I had the Harvest Wrap, which was phenomenal, and my fiance had the turkey meatloaf.

However, like other users, we were incredibly disappointed with the service. My drink sat empty almost the entire meal. We never saw our waitress after we ordered our food (another server gave us our food) and then I had to hunt someone down to pay for the bill. (This was AFTER waiting 20 minutes for her to come)

I will also probably stick to the take out option, rather than dining there again, just because I loved the food so much.

• Pros: Great food
• Cons: Terrible, slow service
