    If you’re looking for a healthy meal that doesn't sacrifice flavor, look no further. I recently visited Little Beet and was blown away by their menu. I tried both the steak and the salmon, and both were high-quality and delicious. It’s hard to find a place that balances 'healthy' and 'tasty' so well. To make it even better, the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a great visit. Excellent food and even better service. Highly recommend!

    I visited this restaurant with my family, and we had a wonderful experience. They offer an impressive selection of healthy and gluten-free options, which we truly appreciated. We sampled the steak, salmon, and chicken, all of which were prepared to perfection. The service was top-notch—attentive and professional throughout our meal. I will definitely be returning and highly recommend this establishment to others. I only wish they had a location in Maryland!

    Ordered door dash. Overpriced, food was mediocre, dry and tasteless. Not worth it.

    Clean Eating, Muted Impact Little Beet positions itself as a modern answer to fast-casual wellness dining—seasonal, customizable bowls built around clean ingredients, as outlined on its menu. On paper, it promises nourishment with intention. In practice, the experience lands softly, too softly. We ordered the Low FODMAP bowl and the seasonal steak bowl. Both arrived looking markedly different from the menu photos, stripped of the color and vitality that initially entice. Flavor followed suit. The ingredients tasted fine, but bland, with little contrast or depth to make the bowls memorable. The steak, in particular, lacked the savory lift one expects from a featured protein. Service hovered at an acceptable-but-disengaged level, falling short of the attentiveness that elevates fast-casual into something more hospitable. The room itself reinforces that ceiling: functional, bright, and impersonal, recalling a Chipotle-style assembly line rather than a destination. Little Beet isn’t bad. It’s simply underwhelming—competent food in a space that feels designed for efficiency, not pleasure. For a concept built on mindful eating, it could benefit from a sharper sense of flavor and care. At two stars out of five, it satisfies hunger, but not curiosity.

    I came here for a light lunch after checking in at my hotel down the street. I saw this was a salad place and thought I could do a caesar salad. However, the place did not offer a lot of ordinary options for salads. They had more esoteric options from the dressings to vegetables. I ended up picking some options that worked okay, but I didn't really like the food.
