The salads are very good. I love The Bold and The Buffalo. The place is super disorganized. You always have to wait to be helped even if you are the only customer in the place. During the lunch rush hardly anyone works helping customers. You see a lot of people in the back and it takes forever. I have been to other locations and it runs smoothly. It seems specific to this location.

A pretty standard grain bowl & salad place. I know some people have had issues with portion sizes when ordering for delivery, but I’ve always eaten in person and they’ve always filled up my bowl. Even then, it’s not cheap, but the food is solid and there’s many healthy options if that’s what you’re in the market for. I’ve tried the Fiesta Bowl and the Bold Buffalo Bowl which were both solid. Nothing really to write home around here but if salad/grain bowls are your thing or you want a healthier option it’s absolutely worth a visit.

Hier gibt es Bowls, Salate und Wraps. Sehr freundlicher Service. Der Laden ist hübsch eingerichtet, und sehr gepflegt. Fast Food der besonderen Art. Interessante Zutaten, reichhaltig und lecker. Wir hatten 2 verschiedene Bowls, die beide frisch zubereitet wurden. Der einzige Nachteil ist, dass es nur Einweggeschirr und Besteck gibt.

Uffff el menú súper interesante, riquísimo, completo, equilibrado, vasto, sano 🙏🏼… El servicio que quieres lo vas diseñando con los ingredientes que elijas en la línea de servicio, al final te entregan tu tazón bien mezclado. En cuanto a las bebidas, tienen opciones comerciales pero también tienen bebidas frías preparadas insitu, con frutas naturales y sin azúcar!!!! Si quieres tus bebidas endulzadas, ahí mismo te ofrecen dos tipos de endulzates. El lugar es bastante contemporáneo, amplio, limpio, tranquilo, agradable y cómodo. El servicio es muy muy amable y atento, ocasionalmente hay personas que dan el servicio en español 👍🏼. Puntos en contra: El estacionamiento pagado (no es caro, pero como quiera) en la calle, esperando que encuentres lugar sin problema. Dependiendo de donde te estaciones a veces es un poco problemático encontrar la máquina para pagar el estacionamiento y pierdes tiempo. El otro punto es el baño, no está en el sitio, bebes tomar una ruta independiente del espacio de este negocio y acceder al baño con una contraseña. Bien, supongo las dos situaciones comentadas anteriormente giran en torno a la ubicación céntrica en la ciudad de este lugar. Aún así vale mucho mucho la pena ir…

I ordered an Imagine Dragon Fruit Bowl and it was handed to me while I was still in the line. The lady in front of me was having issues with her gift card and the person working the register kept arguing with her so my smoothie bowl was melting as I stood there waiting to pay. Once I got to eat it, though, it was pretty good. I asked for strawberries instead of blueberries which was nice they let me do that. I also appreciated that the bowl was gluten free. I wish the smoothie part would have been a little more flavorful. Overall I would eat there again and order something different.

A lovely place. Very clean. Workers were very attentive and engaged. Lots of fresh options. Got the Caesar salad, and it was fantastic! Will need to come back and try the Verde Bowl sometime.

Salad was delicious and pretty big. The lady who took my order and made it for me was super nice. Service was quick. Kind of expensive but worth it for quality and portion size.

The food was delicious but pretty expensive. The Bold & the Buffalo is one of my all-time favorite salads!

Very friendly and polite staff here, with an extremely clean restaurant! It was my first time trying a Crisp and Green and the C’est La Viche salad did not disappoint! I would definitely go back here.
