After an afternoon at the beach, we were craving a cool, refreshing salad and Unilocaled our way to Silvergreens. We accidentally GPS’ed to the Isla Vista location instead of the Santa Barbara location we had intended to visit. The menu at the IV spot appears less readily customizable than the SB menu, which appears to have a different pricing scheme that lets you alter the proteins on the salads. Although initially disappointed by the difference because I was craving a steak salad, I settled on the sesame seared ahi salad. I was impressed by the generous portion and by the ridiculously perfect sear on the tuna, as well as by the friendly service that tolerated my questions about the ingredients.(Full disclosure: I’m currently on a Whole30.) That said, I’m still not sure I’d go back to this location. It’s in the heart of IV, and, 10 years removed from college, I’m not sure I want to deal with being in the heart of IV for the length of a meal.

Came here as my first stop in SB as a friend recommended this place. It’s in Isla Vista and has a bunch of college students roaming around, so if you’re driving be careful. I got the 50⁄50(half sandwich half salad) and I got the hummus(something) sandwich and the mandarin crunch salad. There are plenty of seatings around and they give you a buzzard thing when your order is ready. Overall, the sandwich was kind of plain to me as it just had a lot of arugula and pesto sauce, which I thought was just average. The mandarin crunch salad was ok except for the fact that the sauce was SUPERSUPER salty. The salad was better than the sandwich in my opinion but not by far. They give you an opinion of chips or fruits and I chose fruits but the strawberries didn’t look fresh so I opted for the pineapples instead which wasn’t much better. Maybe I didn’t order the right things but I thought it was ok. Wouldn’t go out of my way for it though.

I’m a pretty big fan of Silvergreens. My company orders from here a couple of times a month. Online ordering is easy and the food is prepared in a timely manner, especially considering how much we throw at them at once. I’ve tried a variety of items and never been disappointed. I’d recommend the Mountain Climber, Mediterranean Quinoa Salad, and California Club. Their cookies are also pretty bomb.

The Pepper Jack Steak is the BEST breakfast burrito in IV! The Staff is super nice and I signed up for the rewards card to save some $$ in the long run. It is an awesome atmosphere too, good space for light conversation and not to cluttered. Great stuff going on at Silver Greens!

I asked for a new Tri Tip sandwich because mine had horse radish. It was replaced with a new Tri Tip meal and it was amazing! The service was great! I will come back if I’m in the area.

Oh sweet delicious silvergreens. I have nothing but love for you. Your pesto fusilli is absolutely delicious. I like to add goat cheese to it. The roasted tomatoes really do bring out a sweetness to it that contracts the saltiness of the pesto. I love how you use fresh ingredients and your lemonade is out of this world. Stay awesome.

I’ve been living in IV for 3 years now and I can’t believe I haven’t taken advantage of silvergreen’s healthy menu. I ordered the seared ahi tuna salad today and forgot to mention that I wanted dressing on the side. One of the workers came out to check on my table and he was kind enough to add more salad to even out the taste. He even offered to make a new salad, but I gratefully accepted the extra lettuce. I’m very picky about the amount of dressing I put in my salads so I really appreciated his efforts. The salad also came with a piece of bread that I didn’t really care for, but I’ll definitely be coming back more often!

The food was served fast. We sat at one of two tables on the patio and people watched. I got the half farmer’s garden salad and half chipotle chicken sandwich. Both tasted fresh and were decent for the price! Also came with fruit or choice of cookie!

I forced myself to try this place; I was pleasantly surprised. In between eating grease laden alleged food products, I like to come here to feel as though I care about my health.

Really good food I enjoyed the Santa Cruz bowl. The ingredients were good quality and the bread is amazing. And there’s one last thing: Tri-Tip snob here… the«TriTip» here isn’t really TriTip. It’s more of a steak, not nearly as good. Will come back and try the burger.

Fresh ingredients. The pesto egg sandwhich was pretty good. Not worth adding on the greasy hashbrown patty(and coffee) for $ 3. The pancakes were nothing special, a little chewy. For S8 you get three small pancakes, which was perfectly filling. The kids split an order. The brookie(chocolate cookie) was good, but not great. What I love is that they offer smoothies without yogurt or dairy. I would just try one of those next time. Great location right downtown with outside patio seating.

What can I say? Started going to the one on CHAPALA last year & it’s been a Culinary love affair ever since. I didn’t even eat EGGS before I started coming here… They just do everything well.

Wahhhhh!!! Thanksgiving sandwich no more. I was excited to come back here to order their Thanksgiving sandwich, but unfortunately it’s no longer on their menu. The guy checked to see if they had all the fixings to still make it, but they didn’t have any cream cheese, cranberry, or sprouts. Bummer. Instead we ordered the turkey BLT, the seared ahi tuna salad, and two drinks. A whopping $ 25. The turkey BLT was a simple good sandwich and the ahi tuna salad was equally delicious, but a bit too much dressing. Service was friendly and great and parking is on the street.

Silvergreens is the go-to place to eat healthy food, and I always love their half-and-half option. This time I tried the new Orange Miso Shrimp & Avocado salad, and it was AMAZING. Such good flavors with the chile shrimp, almond and goat cheese. And of course, their chicken tortilla soup is the best I’ve ever tried.

Two Words: Health Conscious Unique features: nutrition facts on receipt Chill study vibes The first time I ate at Silvergreens was during my Sophomore year. I ordered their green fries, Tuscan pesto chicken, and strawberry lemonade(yeee, yo gurl can eat). I was blown away. It was THAT good. Then, during my Junior year, I noticed that their quality and flavors had declined. I stopped going there. Today, I decided to try out Silvergreens, again. I tried their Kale and sesame quinoa. It was off the hook! So much flavors and I was left feeling satiated. I definitely recommend it.

I had the blueberry pancakes with a breakfast sandwich. It tasted amazing and filled me up. My visit to Silvergreens accomplished its purpose.

3 star because poor college students are broke for expensive food. However, when I do have money, I go here to get my favorite Ahi Tuna Salad. Yum. The portion is huge and filling. Overall, their menu is very healthy. I mean if you like that stuff, this is the place to be! Kudos for Silvergreens!
