The seasoning of the brown rice was above average and provided a nice foundation for the rest of the veggies. For vegetables I went with their pickled cabbage, chickpeas, salata, some leaves of mint, and a splash of paprika and black pepper sauce. Then I chose the apple chutney and hummus for my spreads. I chose a bowl with brown rice, spring mix, and chicken for my base. Overall it seemed like everyone was generally happy to see you. Nobody really stood out in terms of mood or emotion. The employees spanned the scale of the general employees you would find at any fast-casual location. There could be a problem with using the same gloves to touch multiple pots and containers, but the staff seemed well-organized and coordinated. This is just me playing devil’s advocate, but I wasn’t able to get a good look of the kitchen for cleanliness. Their healthy and fast-casual line cleanly separated all the ingredients, but I bet the hustle and bustle of the lunch rush could lead to some cross contamination. Even though I am not a vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-intolerant, I was more than pleased about their documentation and attention to dietary detail. Conveniently they placed a simple menu detailing all of their options. Upon entering, SKWR presented a clean, sleek, and modern interior design. I like to save first impressions until I’m at the door, and I have heard relatively little from my coworkers about the business. So I forgot to pack my lunch the night before, but I was happy to find out about SKWR’s healthy options for lunch. Throw on some toppings (veggie mix, carrot slaw, feta, and za’atar yogurt aioli), say yes to bread, and you’re all set! $ 10 meal down the hatch. The chicken has never been charred which is always a good thing. The meat balls are good just a little over cooked for my taste. Steak or lamb will cost you a little extra. I split the meat order between chicken and grilled meatballs. Changes the flavor of each bite up REAL QUICK. Not usually a big fan of spreads but little scoops of all three is pretty awesome.

I get hummus, olivieh (potato salad-esque), yogurt + cucumber. Next you get three scoops of spread (I guess is what it’s called).

They give a fair amount of each so usually no need to ask for more. They also have white rice and different greens you can choose from to be the base of your bowl. I order the bowl with brown rice and arugula. Big fan of this place! They have a chipotle-style way of ordering so be prepared once you make it to the front of the line.
