Gusto! Wood Fire Grill

Clean, high-​end look, quick, chic, hip setting, and I see da Rainbow~ yaw! Da food was good, will visit again!

Overpriced and overrated. I don’t see what the big deal is. It was hot outside so on wanted something refreshing, decided to try the «tahini cucumber feta» bowl with chicken and brown rice. The rice made it so dry, and there were almost no cucumbers or cherry tomatoes. Maybe I should’ve gotten the mixed greens instead.
It filled me up, but I wasn’t satisfied at all. And for $ 11 it should’ve been waaaaay better. I paid $ 11 for a bowl of rice, some chicken chunks, and tahini sauce. Save your self and go to Chipotle instead… you’ll be glad you did. Or better yet, try to Mediterranean restaurant in the same courtyard.

Food was clean and healthy. Tasted like a better chipotle bowl.
I got two bowls and one wrap and honestly everything was so good!
Highly recommend taking out or eating in! :)

Tried to go over Memorial Day weekend on Sunday. Hours sign said open but sign in window said they were closed to allow their employees to honor those the sacrificed the greatest for our country
Loved that and will go back to eat there at some point
Thank you for your support of our military

Absolutely fantastic! FRESH food FAST with LOTS of FLAVOR and a great atmosphere! Highly recommended! We need more of these!

Happened to be in the area and needed to refuel. Decided to try it given all the positive reviews. They weren’t wrong. Simple menu concept with multiple options. Food was tasty and good quality.

wow! I decided to try this place based off of it being a restaurant that has a lot of heathy options & the reviews on here. I came in and the employees are very helpful & welcoming. I ordered the chicken rice bowl w| the mango avocado topping. it was delicious! the chicken is flavored well, the mango avocado topping is so tasty! all of the flavors mixed very well together. I loved this place! a little bit pricey for lunch, but that’s what you get when you choose heathy options. I definitely will return!

One day I was craving Mediterranean meal (as I do pretty much everyday), and I decided to check this place out for the first time. I didn’t get the Mediterranean meal I was expecting, it was more like Mexican/​American, perhaps because of my choice of order (chipotle mango avocado with chicken). Nonetheless, it was light and delicious. I would love to come back again!
Parking — free parking behind the building. Follow the parking behind CVS. Parking wasn’t too hard to find.
Food — I ordered mixed greens, chicken with chipotle mango avocado and I appreciate that they put my chipotle dressing on the side (my brother ordered same thing just with brown rice, and his dressing was already mixed in). The portion size may look small at a first glance, but it fills you up pretty quick along with the complimentary sweet potato chips (yummmm!)
Overall — reasonable price, very clean, pretty quiet, also patio seatings available with 3 – 4 tables, and friendly staffs :)

I REALLY like Gusto. They basically have a few different flavors of sauces that you can pair with either shrimp, chicken, or mushrooms, and have served as a salad, rice bowl, or sandwich.
I love getting the salad with chicken and one of the sauces. It’s a nice healthy and delicious meal. My favorite sauce hands down is the apple curry peanut. It is absolutely delicious! Other really good flavors include: the chipotle mango avocado (my second favorite) and the tahini cucumber feta (if you’re craving something more Mediterranean).
They also have a nice little patio if you want to eat outside. Good place for a quick lunch or dinner, or for a to-​go order!

I love Gusto.
I remember going to the Unilocal preview before this place opened and was very impressed.
My company uses them frequently for catering and it is consistently delicious. If you go in, you pick your base (greens, rice, or a wrap), your protein, and your «gusto» — a sauce + veggie/​fruit + garnish combo.
The grilled chicken and portobello are so good. Sauces are flavorful. I love the chile citrus bbq and the chipotle mango avocado. That one comes with a mango/​avocado/​black bean/​corn salad that I could eat for life.
I went to the location recently and was still impressed. Everyone is always so helpful and nice, food is always solid.
I need them to stay around as long as possible.

Just came back from dinner at Gusto! And the restaurant deserves the 5 stars! I had the Flatbread wrap with portobella in goat cheese basil flavoring and it was extremely well done! With nice subtle flavours and the mushrooms tasting great! My friends had ordered two other flavours to go with brown rice — chipotle mango avocado, and apple curry peanut — and both of these also tasted really good!
The place has a nice vibe with seating inside and outside. and fast service! I had to barely wait 2 minutes during which i made my payment n my order was ready. Nate, the man behind it all was very nice and said the flavours are a result of almost 4 years of experimentation! Definitely check out this place! Oh and the sweet potato chips — nice change from potato fries.

Great Chipotle-​like concept. Infinite options that make all your friends and taste buds happy. Vegetarians, meat eaters, vegans, and dietary problematic tag alongs alike. Good food served fast. Salads, bowls, and wraps. Indian, Japanese, Mexican, Mediterranean? You name it! Price point? You ask? Under $ 12 (unless you order shrimp). Easy, friendly and relatively healthy. Sweet potato chips are delish! Free parking around the back. Order to stay or pre-​order to go. Bathrooms are clean. Staff is friendly. Lunch hour rush. Consistent quality and flavor. Well priced for what you get. Fantastic business model– surprised there’s not more of them!

If you haven’t tried Gusto yet, do yourself a favor, and pick up dinner here tonight. Located across from Piedmont Hospital (right by the Chickfila and CVS), this is one of Atlanta’s best spots for healthy, fresh fare at a reasonable price.
As other reviewers have commented, you simply pick a base (salad greens, brown rice or a flatbread; personally I love half rice/​half greens), choose your protein (chicken, shrimp, portabello mushroom and for a limited time avocados) and then select your sauce combination. Tahini Cucumber is my absolute favorite; it’s greek-​esque with feta, cucumbers and chickpeas. You get a side of amazing sweet potato chips, and I literally always have leftovers for the next day. I also highly recommend their frozen yogurt. The flavors rotate and are seasonal, but the sea salt pretzel is out of this world good.
The service at Gusto is exceptional. Employees are friendly, helpful and truly care. We stopped in while walking with our dog (note: we didn’t bring him inside the restaurant), and the manager brought us a bowl with water for our dog.
Parking is located directly behind the restaurant (turn onto Brighton Rd. NE to access this parking lot, located on your right after turning).
Overall, I highly recommend this quick-​casual restaurant. Check them out for catering as well, and follow them on social media, as they do fun giveaways, coupons, etc.
FYI — they’re also expanding to a second location in the Poncey-​Highland/​Virginia-​Highland are (in the old The Real Chow Baby) off of Ponce De Leon.

I absolutely love this concept!
Step #1… Pick your base– mixed greens, brown rice or flat bread
Step #2… Pick your protein-​chicken, portabella, or shrimp
Step #3… Pick your Gusto! I chose the buffalo, buttermilk blue, but there are several to choose from.
The location of the parking lot is a tad obscure, so just look for the CVS on the corner of Brighton, turn down Brighton, and the parking lot is in the back lot that hosts both the CVS and Gusto, as well as a few other shops.
It’s basically a fast casual place. You wait in line, read the menu board on the wall, then order and pay. They will call your name and your order will be ready within minutes.
The sweet potato chips come with the meal, which was a pleasant surprise. I got the salad version for my concoction and found that adding the chips to my salad gave it a perfect crunch. Overall, it was one of the best salads that I’ve had in awhile. I was half tempted to try the wrap version the next day, but decided that I’ll wait until next time, Atlanta.
Gusto! Please bring your concept to Lexington, Kentucky.

Ok so foodwise, I’m a fan of Gusto! I have a «usual» that I swing by and get when I want something hearty but more on the clean side of the eating spectrum.
The only thing here is the lack of customer service. It’s declined since I first explored this place and I always feel like the cashiers are disinterested… even seeming annoyed at having to complete the transactions.

Gusto! is a nice, fast-​casual place in Buckhead. Honestly, I was surprised when I ate here. It doesn’t look like much, but the meals are packed with flavor.
When you come in, you choose among greens, rice, or a wrap. Then you pick your protein: chicken, portabella, and shrimp. Then you pick your gusto or style, which adds a variety of flavor to your dish.
The rice they use is brown. It looks like they have no white rice option. I don’t like brown rice, but I was surprised how good it tasted.
If you have any dietary restriction, Gusto! is the place to go. You can have it vegan, vegetarian, paleo, or gluten free. If they use kosher meat, they can probably be even Halal or Kosher.
I tried the chicken, rice, with the chipotle avocado gusto. The chicken was grilled nicely. The flavor of chipotle and avocado was really good.
My bowl looked small. I didn’t think it would be enough food for me. But it was actually a lot of food. For $ 10, this was a great deal. Not only that, they gave me a small bag of sweet potato chips.
Gusto! is a great restaurant. It’s a great value. The food tastes delicious, fresh, and healthy. Now I got to go and check out their other gusto combinations.

This is a solid spot for a cheap, healthy-​ish meal in the Peachtree Hills area. There’s free parking behind the restaurant (turn into the tiny entrance just past the CVS sign), and the interior is bright and clean. It’s an order at the counter place, and though they take your name when you order, my meal always seems to be ready by the time I get to the cashier.
The menu concept is simple but flavorful. You pick your base (greens, rice or flatbread), your wood-​grilled «protein» (chicken, shrimp, or portabello mushroom) and then one of eight or so «gustos,» which are a sauce/​salsa/​chutney type concoction. I love the tahini cucumber gusto with chicken over a bed of greens. Every meal is between $ 9 – 12, and they come with a side of sweet potato chips, which are delicious and flavorful. The portions are generous — I actually wish I could skip the sweet potato chips and save a buck or two– I can never finish a full meal here.
You can follow Gusto on facebook and instagram for fun specials and buy-​1-​get-​1 deals. And also keep an eye out for the owner of Gusto — it’s not often a former NFL quarterback opens a successful fast-​casual dining spot, but it’s certainly worked out here!

Good cheap, healthy food and amaaaaaazing service. I ordered lunch for 21 people. That’s 21 opportunities to make a mistake. I took everyone’s orders down and was able to fax them in around 11:15AM. I show up at 11:50AM for a 12:00PM pick up. The orders were already on their way out. Each order was labeled with everyone’s name and everyone’s order. I worked with a worker and checked every order to make sure it was there. He put everything in bags, included utensils, and I was on my way out by 12:05PM.
The way you order is very easy.
First you choose your base: mixed greens, brown rice or flatbread (you can choose half greens and half rice if you’d like)
Second you choose your protein: chicken, portabelloa or shrimp
Lastly, you choose your sauce/​flavor.
I decided to ordered the chili citrus bbq bowl with mixed greens and shrimp. I enjoyed my bowl. It was very simple and good for the price. Every bowl also comes with sweet potato chips, which was delicious. I just wish the bag wasn’t so small.
Overall, It’s a great place to eat if you want a quick, cheap, healthy spot.

Let’s keep this short and sweet and get directly to the point. Gusto is dank, delicious, simple and delicious (did I say that already?). The chipotle mango avacado bowl is my go to and you have to get the brown rice and chicken. The food here is simple with a hint of elegance and t’s actually pretty as well. Being almost directly across from Piedmont hospital, the location is right down the street from where we live. I think more people should know about this place, its just that good.
That’s my word and I’m sticking to it.

I’ve been meaning to try Gusto! for so long and now I can comfortably say, «Mi Gusto!»
THE CONCEPT.
In some ways it’s a build your own meal place like Chipotle and Naanstop, in others it prevents you from making a mistake with ingredients as your available combinations are predefined for non-​protein additions to the wrap or salad you want.
THE SHRIMP WRAP WITH KOREAN BBQ. I actually didn’t like my meal too much, but I won’t blame it on the restaurant. The wrap was fresh, the shrimp were delicious but everything was just too sweet for my taste. The combo was interesting indeed, it was a bahn mi, inside a wrap and with shrimp instead of pork. I’d love to come back and try something new.
GREAT DESIGN. I love the design of this place inside, minimalistic, a little industrial and vibrant. It’s very casual, so keep that in mind.
FRIENDLY. Everybody at this spot was just so nice, sometimes it’s the people that can make the restaurant!
