Healthy Fast Food Served at Green Tomato Grill in Huntington Beach

The Green Tomato Grill is a healthy fast food restaurant built around the core principals of serving fast, healthy, affordable and sustainable food to the community. The company opened their first location six years ago in Orange as a “healthy, create-your-own” concept, and recently expanded to Huntington Beach offering a variety of dishes for all dietary preferences including vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and other diners with dietary needs. With affordable options for everyone, “GTG” has become a place for meat-eaters and plant-eaters alike.

We recently had the opportunity to visit the new Huntington Beach Green Tomato Grill, and I was blown away. I have stated before, that my children are really picky eaters. If my son sees anything green on his plate, he turns up his nose. He will agree to our “one bite rule” where he has to sample everything. However, at the Green Tomato Grill, he was inspired to try each dish without putting up a fight. The best part – he LOVED it.

As we browsed the menu, we were quite surprised at the different options available including:

With so many options, my husband and I decided to order a couple and split our meal. We started with the Greek Chicken Melt. Deliciously most chicken piled into a flat bread with artichoke, bell pepper, pepperoncini, onion, herbed goat cheese and served with a side of in house made tzatziki sauce. It was a fantastic blend of flavors with perfectly sautéed veggies.

The Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl was just incredible. I was so impressed with the amount of ahi tuna chunks that were piled on this bowl. I seriously had enough fresh ahi tuna to spread out amongst each bite with avocado, cucumber, edamame, green onion served over steamed rice.

My husband ordered the Chimichurri Steak Bowl and personalized it with a double heaping of fresh grilled steak combined with steamed rice, peppers, onions and corn. He loved the Chimichurri sauce, and ordered more to dip some of our pita slices into.

We were quite impressed at the size of the bowls. They were loaded, and certainly enough for us to take home for another meal. However, if you visit Green Tomato Grill with a hearty appetite, you can turn any of their entree’s into a combo that includes a drink and your choice of sides:
