Tender Greens Menu – Santa Clara, CA

Type : Restaurant

Location : Santa Clara, CA

Welcome to our kitchen!

Two chefs and a foodie set out to change the way people eat for the better. Our inspiration? The meals we had when our friends came over. The food. The pairings. The exploration. The energy. And the promise that on any given day we’d eat or drink something we wouldn’t find anywhere else. So we opened Tender Greens in 2006 and started a food revolution.

We start with the best ingredients, cook from the heart and let our food do the talking. No compromises, no matter what. Sustainability is at the core of all the choices we make, from our food to our planet to the future of farming. It’s in our DNA. After all, we’re chefs.

Modern, cafeteria-style chain serving area-sourced, globally influenced plates, sandwiches & salads. Based on 136 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.1 stars. Price $$

I enjoyed my first visit. Love that the menu is customizable, they give a good amount of protein, calories are announced and the food is healthy/delicious. Mashed potatoes seemed to be boxed though. Located at the corner of plaza- parking can be challenging during prime time and there’s an aroma of “grill” inside the restaurant. I’ll return and recommend.

Stopped by after work. Was only in the area for a couple of days on business. I must say this is a nice spot. Friendly customer service and the food was just awesome. I was a bit upset I had to leave. Had my travels had me in the area a bit longer I would have stopped by again. The food was so delicious

Appreciate that the food is fresh, well cooked and seasoned, and healthy. Got the California Bowl with grilled salmon and the Longevity Bowl and they were excellent. It’s a much better alternative to Mendocino Farms which I find overrated and overpriced. Kids meals are great too.

If you want something delicious that is healthy and fairly grab and go. Tendergreens has you covered and more this place has the best food I would a kin to a sit down boutique restaurant but in a style that is fast which makes a great spot to grab something quick but also have a good dining experience as well nothing is cheap and they use top-notch ingredients.

Wonderful salad and sandwich spot serving a variety of healthy options in a trendy location with ample seating, a clean open vibe, and great food. The options here range from plates (with several meats), bowls, salads, and sandwiches. Everything here seems very healthy.

Food and cooking is consistently tasty. Contemporary interior table and booths are comfortable. Front desk service is hit and miss depending on the team working that day as i had a missing family meal item from my take-out order previously, but my recent visit was spot on and efficient.

The steak is NOT medium rare. The first plate I got had well done steak. I sent it back and got medium well steak. It was hard to chew.

I enjoy the food here, made with fresh and quality ingredients. I have tried the buttermilk fried chicken plate, with brown rice and romaine hearts as sides, and the katsu chicken bowl, and both are great, but sometimes my order takes a lot longer to be ready, even if the place seems to be not too busy (though I understand they might have a lot of online orders…)
