COVID-19

We continue to closely monitor and follow all federal, state, and local government and CDC guidelines to protect the health and safety of our guests and team members. We have increased the sanitation of high-touch and high-traffic areas; implemented the use of gloves and face masks for all team members; introduced sanitizing stations; rolled out a tamper-evident sticker for all delivery orders.
According to the FDA, there is currently no evidence to suggest that food produced in the United States can transmit COVID-19. However, we have implemented strict cleanliness guidelines that go beyond current government guidance, such as glove use and changing protocols for all interactions, as well as reinforcing hand washing and sanitizing training for all team members.

General

Check your nearest Tender Greens location. You’ll see the Executive Chef and the Specials he/she is cooking up.
Do you deliver?
Yes, on our mobile app. Read all about it at app.tendergreens.com.
Yes, on our mobile app. Read all about it at app.tendergreens.com.
Yep! Get em at the restaurant. Digital gift cards are now available through our mobile app available on Google Play & the App Store.

Starting on January 29, 2018, we will transition to a cash-free restaurant. The reason why is because it’s the future! The percentage of our cash transactions are in the single digits, yet you (our guests) and our team are spending significant amounts of time because of it. You’ll get your food faster, our team gets back hours of their day, and it’s better for the environment. Read more detail about our transition to cashless and why on our blog: https://www.tendergreens.com/cashless

Our primary community focus is through our Sustainable Life Project, a culinary internship for foster youth. We love to give back and meet as many requests as possible, however, we won’t be able to support them all – even though we wish we could! Our community efforts are based on: (1) Foster Youth, (2) Food & Environmental Sustainability, (3) Education & Community Groups, (4) Health & Wellness. If your group/event meets one of these, send us your request using the Contact Us form.
Sure. Will you be there every day and tell all your friends? Please Contact Us and tell us where you think we should open.
All of our restaurants are company owned and operated.

We like ’em big and curvy because it keeps the quality of the lettuce fresher. When lettuce is pre-cut, it starts to wilt and mess with the integrity of the greens. We’re happy to chop it up upon request.

We’re always mindful of the bigger picture — our food, environment and social responsibility. That means thinking about our food’s production, transportation and social impact before giving anything our thumbs up. All of our farmers and partners meet our high standards — we know and trust them. Want to know more? Give us a shout in Contacts and we’re happy to have a conversation about it.
Our seafood is sourced from the most responsible fisheries to protect the health of the species and our waterways. The albacore tuna is MSC certified and our salmon is GLOBALG.A.P. certified.
Our produce and lettuce are grown using organic and natural methods that promote soil health and biodiversity. The Organic label is convenient — but it’s not everything and not the only criteria we measure our high standards. We believe the best ingredients start with the best farmers, farmers we know and trust and ones we can walk their fields with to talk about what they raise and grow.
We use a blend of California Olive Ranch Extra Virgin Olive Oil and non-GMO expeller pressed canola oil.
Long answer to a short question but this has been a controversial topic recently and we want to be 100% transparent about what we use and why. There is a lot of misinformation out there about canola oil, which we had to dig into to really understand. We found that there is a very important difference between simply “canola oil” and “non-GMO expeller pressed canola oil.” We only use non-GMO expeller pressed canola oil, because: (1) GMO crops tend to have a negative environmental impact, and the characteristics built into the GMO seeds are responsible for the negative health impacts that are often discussed around canola — the non-GMO variety does not have these effects. (2) Oils that are not “expeller pressed” are usually extracted with hexane and other industrial solvents. We do not use canola and olive oil interchangeably or because of cost, but based on how the oil is used. There are two main differences, the first is the strong flavor of the extra virgin olive oil versus the almost non-existent flavor of canola. The second is smoke point. The difference in smoke point means anything that goes on the grill has to have some or all canola oil, or else the restaurant would become smokey and the flavor of the food will be negatively impacted.
Yes, we use salt in our cooking. If you have a dietary restriction that requires low sodium, our chefs are happy to make something special for you. Just ask!
Many of our dishes do not contain gluten, but we cannot guarantee that all of our products are gluten-free.

Catering & Events

Yes we do! Order online at catering.tendergreens.com. Would you like some additional help? Our catering concierge can help you, email [email protected]
Yes, and it’s encouraged, at catering.tendergreens.com
Our catering and standard ordering platforms are actually separate. Although you may opt to use a single email address for each account, the order history on the catering side and standard ordering side are not linked in any way.
Yes we do! We work with various third party partners to fulfill our catering deliveries to make ordering as convenient as we can.
Arrange your order for pick up.
We request a 15-hour advance notice for catering orders. For same day orders, call the Tender Greens nearest you to inquire. We’ll try our best to make it happen but it depends on the size of your catering.
When it comes to our plate offerings, we recommend using them as the base for your order. If you are feeding 40 people, it is recommended you order plates for all 40 guests. You can then add on additional sides and proteins from there. Remember, it is always best to have a little extra as opposed to not enough!
15-20% is always a nice gesture. We appreciate your generosity.
You do not need them, but if you have your own chafing dishes and sternos you’d like to use to keep the food hot, please request aluminum pans for your order. Catering orders generally come in recyclable heat resistant plastic containers.
Yes, it’s included at no extra cost but please let us know that you would like them.
Buffet style in recyclable containers.
Our catering plates are priced per person but served family style. They come with protein and two sides for all guests to enjoy. Let’s say you are feeding 10 people and elect chicken, steak, mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables for your offerings. Your order would be received as follows: 5 chicken, 5 steak, 10 mashed potatoes, 10 roasted vegetables. We hope that helps.
Orders come with a visual guide card that shows how to best setup your order. We also have table tent labels available upon request.
Changes to catering orders can only be made when placed under a personal account up to 24 hours in advance. If checking out as a guest, no further changes or adjustments can be made. For further assistance, please contact [email protected].
All food is made in house from scratch so we do require at least six (6) hours’ notice if you have a need to cancel your order without penalty. Cancellations given less than six (6) hours’ notice prior to your order time will be subject to a cancellation charge of 50% of the anticipated balance on the order.
We’ve done a few weddings TG style. Email [email protected] and let’s see if we can make Tender Greens part of your big day. While we will do our best to make it work for your big day, please know that we are not a full-service wedding caterer.
Cool! We love a good party. We’ll even hook you up with your own private chef to cook for your party. Call your nearest Tender Greens and speak with the Chef, or email [email protected] and let’s make it happen.

Yikes! We don’t use synthetic pesticides on our produce, so occasionally a rogue bug clings on tight and doesn’t get washed out during the multiple vigorous washing sessions. Something else? Thank you for letting us know. Please Contact Us, tell us which location you were at and include a picture if you can.
