Leaf & Grain

I love this place so much! I eat here for their delicious salad options. I am totally in love with the Maize Runner since it came out in the Fall. I love that they use roasted veggies for extra flavor and looks gorgeous. I highly recommend trying any of their grain bowls. I also love the common table, the Alamo and the Seoul one.

Head over to this joint to try some of the best salads made from scratch dressings and a filling scrumptious lunch.. warm bowls thai masaman is my fav and the Alamo is the popular choice

Awesome lunch stop on our road trip! Love supporting locally owned businesses that provide gluten free options! I have a service animal and the staff gave us no issues nor did they interfere with his job. 100% would recommend!

I came to Leaf & Grain for lunch with a colleague during the afternoon lunch hour. The line was out the door so, I took that as a good indicator of what to expect. I waited in line for no more five minutes until I was asked politely what I would like to order. I'm a big "red meat" guy and when I saw that they offered a 44Farms Steak Salad with meat sourced from 44Farms (duh), I knew that that was going to be the meal for me. The steak salad is comprised of steak chunks (obviously) which were perfectly prepared (not too rare, not too well done), blue cheese, bacon bits, tomatoes, pickled red onions with a horseradish vinaigrette. I also opted for the additional avocado because PROTEIN. Before adding the vinaigrette, I was asked if I would like a small, medium or heavy dose (a nice touch especially with salads). I opted for a medium dose and was not let down. The salad was so delicious that I forgot to take a picture of it! As mentioned above, the steak was perfectly prepared, the blue cheese added the right amount of *zing*, the bacon was crispy, the pickled onion added a perfect counter balance to the horseradish vinaigrette. If you are looking for a healthy and tasty lunch, check this place out!

I've tried most of the salads and bowls and all are delicious. This is also a Houston locally owned family company and they use all fresh ingredients. Even their corn is fresh roasted, no canned corn here like most places! My favorites are the Med Protein Plate and Caesar salad. They also have two mini desserts that are tasty and satisy an after lunch sweet tooth. (Mini Cayenne brownie and mini Rosemary shortbread). A local, healthy and tasty lunch option downtown!

Just wanted to give great Kudos to your Awesome delivery man, Mr. Ezekiel today! At my request he helped me arrange the food so beautifully on the lunch table - actually he did it while I scurried back and forth to my floor and kitchen gathering items for the luncheon. He was such a joy to work with and took his time making sure everything was beautifully arranged and to my liking!!!! I'll never forget his hard work and prizing winning "smile" all whilst working so diligently. Thanks Leaf & Grain for hiring such awesome and hard-working, professional employees! I hope I get Ezekiel the next time we cater an event! Wishing you all a great afternoon and thanks again for making my luncheon a Success! Btw, the food was (AMAZING)!! :)

Simply AMAZING! Now I know that sounds too hyperbolic when it comes to rating a "salad place", but you have to eat here to understand. I was amazed at what they can do with a salad and a salad bowl. You can taste the freshness and you can hear the enthusiasm in the voices of the employees here. The McKinney location is a very short 1 minute walk from my office downtown and I cant get enough of these salads, bowls and breakfasts. It doesnt matter which one you get either, you can bet your you know what that it will be fresh and delicious. This is one of the best habits I have developed. Stop reading this review and get over there and eat, already. The Oasis, the Herb Your Enthusiasm, The Alamo, The Immunity...so so so good. (I'm typing this after having just finished off an Oasis at my desk.) Just do it!

Amazing customer service and delicious healthy food! Be sure to add Totopos (tortilla chips) to your bowl if you want to spice it up!
