I ordered the Taco Chicken Salad, and it was the worst salad I have ever had in my life. The chicken tasted very bad, and it wasn't worth paying $15. I will never buy food from them again.

I recently visited the Green Rebel location at Constitution Square. While waiting for my order, I observed the employees at work and was shocked to see that none of them were wearing hairnets. While preparing salads, they were leaning over the food with their hair hanging down, which was very concerning. I was so put off by this that I almost canceled my order. I will definitely not be returning, as it raises questions about what other sanitation practices might not be followed.

We enjoyed our few visits to Green Rebel. Each and every time the food was great. As such, we continue to recommend it to our clients when they're looking for a healthy restaurant in Ottawa.

I absolutely adore ordering the Green Rebel BLAT sandwich with my little customizations, its my treat to myself once a week, and the sandwich being so good makes me keep coming back! Great service because I always feel a warm welcome when the regular employees smile in recognizing me. Great service points also since the employees work smoothly under pressure of a lunch rush. Great choice in music, though the volume was little loud for my tastes some days, that's a personal thing and not against the restaurant, and the music was not too loud on the day I visited and wrote this.

This is my go to lunch location every time I'm downtown for work. The food is great, and the staff are even better. I love that they know who I am and what I want! I don't mind spending a little extra on quality ingredients and Green Rebel consistently delivers quality each time. Thanks for making my lunch so my husband doesn't have to! You folks are the best!

First time I eat here. They were out of the bowls and suggested the vietnamese salad. What a disappointment. The peanut sauce was split but without it the salad was incredibly bland. So it ended up an oily mess. The chicken is also very bland. Not good value.

Loaded chicken foccacia sandwich with provolone, bacon and aioli. To die for. Quality ingredients, competitive price, and they don't skimp on the filling. Decent variety on the menu, though they seem to have reduced it. Good taco salad, and you can swap ingredients to your liking.

So I went to Green Rebel to ensure I had a healthy lunch. After a thorough review of the menu I ordered one of their salads. Well, I was quite disappointed. I ended up spending $18+ for almost a bowl (and not a full bowl) of romaine lettuce with what appeared to be boiled chicken (in a scant amount) along with two pieces (maybe three) of brocolli and a smattering of regular peanuts. I wont go back. I was quite disappointed.

This was my first experience at Green Rebel. I arrived shortly after 1130am to order lunch. I read the displayed menu board which listed menu items and ingredients. After ordering and paying, I proceeded down the line to wait for the employee to make my bang bang budda bowl . When she gave it too me I opened it and noticed several items listed as ingredients were missing? When I complained I found out they didn t have them? My only alternative was to substitute items. I m not sure why they would sell an item, list it s ingredients but then not have them or have the courtesy to inform the customer prior to purchase instead of just not saying anything and hope that the customer doesn t notice. They left out: pickled onions, crispy shallots, aioli sauce.

Went here because the mad radish was too busy. It was meh. The staff looked super bored and barely put any ingredients on my sandwich. The bun was hardly toasted. Also they don t take cash which is super disappointing. I believe the mad radish doesn t either what s with this world?

Its been awhile since I last grabbed lunch at Green Rebel,. I was reminded today about how great the food is. Very fresh. Very tasty. Some really nice options for salads, but also for protein. I feel pleasantly satiated and recharged. Some meals can leave you with a feeling of faire dodo. Im glad to say that after my Bombay Lentil Bowl, my thinking cap is still on for the remainder of the day! Thanks, Green Rebel!

over priced, just a rip off of freshii. Canadians want something new not another Starbucks looking money grab.

Highly recommended for event catering! My organization asked Green Rebel to cater our conference and they did a spectacular job. Quick and friendly communication throughout, drop-offs and pick-ups were always on time, and our delegates LOVED the food. They were able to manage multiple food allergies safely as well.

I am so disappointed in Green Rebel. I have been waiting for this location to reopen, and really wanted to try it out, as I live very close. Being vegan I ordered a tofu bowl, they were out.. no worries I ordered a vegan Ceasar. They were also out of smoothies, but had a really small selection of pop and water and juice in a cooler which I accepted. At this point I was just excited to try anything. It came to the point of payment, the final blow.. They dont accept cash. I work in the service industry, and pay for meals and coffee with cash. I think a business that postures itself as being rebelious wouldnt be on their knees for big banks. Why should I pay my bank a fee because you decide not to take cash. This trend needs to stop, you are marginalizing people that do not want to pay with cards, and its really gross. I really, really wanted to love this place, but I ended up going to the competition literally down the hall, and had a great vegan meal paid fully in cash, including tip.

Bad, arrogant customer service. Each time. $15 for a salad that contains mostly wet lettuce, 1 spoon of rice and 3 bites of chicken. I really dont understand the high rating of this place. Its a mystery.

Does the job if you re hungry and want something quick. I ordered the flafel bowl, everything in the bowl was good except the flafel I feel like it could be presented better by at least mixing the ingredient. Parts of the bowl were very dry with the spinach and sunflower seeds let along the dry stale flafel that was heated in the oven. It did feel and look healthy, i d rather do Freshi tho instead of given the option.

This was my first Green Rebel experience, and I have to say that it wasnt that great... Like others have said, they were out of one of the ingredients for my bowl, but they also forgot to put all the toppings on it. I had to go back twice (no joke!) to ask them to put on two different toppings that they had just not bothered to put on my Falafel Bowl, even though these ingredients are clearly listed on the menu board. For almost $15 for a salad, I expect all the ingredients to be in the bowl and not to have to stand there and cross-check the contents of my food with the ingredients listed on the menu. Or at least a decent apology... The food was good, and I appreciate that you can reduce your waste by ordering your food to eat in, but the service culture definitely needs improvement.

Went to the Queen St. location. 1st time trying Green Rebel and it was well worth it. The rebel chicken sandwich was amazing ; the chicken has a nice seasoning on it (almost like a mild curry) and tasted like food should. The quality of the food is high, its healthy, and the prices are fair. The staff are nice as well. Not stingy with toppings as some restaurants are. Overall, pleasantly surprised and will most definitely be back soon.

I love green rebel salads but this location seems to be always out of ingredients for specific salads on their menu. You can substitute for other items but if you dont want that option they still change full price. They also dont post calories for each salad which would be a good option to have.

Well let me start by saying I used to be a huge fan of Green Rebel (Queen Street location) but since moving to the other end of the downtown core and going to the Kent Street location, I have less than favourable things to say about it. It is lacking in customer service (the woman who makes the salads over the lunch hour might want to at least try cracking a smile once in a while). Not to mention, what happened to the quality? $13.50 for a feta chicken salad that contained lettuce pieces that were mushy and black (couldnt be more of a turnoff), stems from romaine that have turned brown on the ends, barely a scoop of feta and when I asked if I could have extra dressing, she gave the salad the regular one second squirt and dared me to complain with her ungracious stare. Last trip to this location. Ive given it four tries and each time it was the same outcome. I have decided to post this because it is obviously not a by chance occurrence.

Veggie and egg breakfast sandwich is BOMB!!!

December 22, 2018

Went in this morning to get a sandwich, I asked for flat bread and no cheese in order to make it a vegan sandwich, took it to go and left the store, got back to my office which is not downtown, only to see they used the ciabatta bread along with the cheese. There are literally no restaurants where I work which is why I got food downtown while there on an errand. Super disappointing, will not be going back there again.

I had a delicious vegan chili box for lunch. It was warm and hearty, filling and had the right balance of flavors and textures. The only suggested improvement could be to chop the kale into smaller, more consistent sizes. There were a few pieces of kale that were so long I couldnt fit them into my mouth. Prices are reasonable and service was very friendly. I will be back.

The salads are delicious! lots of variety in options and the prices are good! Downside is they often run out of specific ingredients, which they will substitute for something you want, but still a little annoying, as well as if you show up within 45 minutes of close they have already put away everything to make salads and can only make you a sandwich!
