I used to be a regular at Smoothie King, but have quit going all together. My favorite drink was Mocha Almond High Protein. I came to realize that it very much depended on who made it whether or not it was good. The frustrating part was that I’d never know if it was made correctly until I drank about half of it. If made incorrectly, the last half of the drink would turn into an icy like slush that you couldn’t get through the straw. Usually by the time I knew it was bad, I’d be miles away from the store. It wasn’t worth the trouble to go back so I’d throw the last half in the trash. After a number of trips, I figured it was 50⁄50 chance of getting a good smoothie. Those odds aren’t good so I quit going.

I’m a regular customer at this location and typically I am impressed with everything, but lately there has been a young girl working who has been ruining my experience. She’s a young, pretty girl with long brown hair and a nose piercing, but has a very bad attitude. There is an older woman usually there and she is fantastic, but this girl may have just lost this customer. She is rude at the drive thru speaker, rude at the window, takes usually at least 5 minutes to bring my change and smoothie(with no apology or apathy at all), and today gave me the wrong damn smoothie! I only write reviews when I am extremely impressed or unimpressed, and today’s experience did it for me. If my gym was not directly across the street, I would go out of my way to visit a different location. Unhappy customer.

Nothing wrong with the service or anything like that, it’s simply an awful product they’re selling. It’s hard to tell what’s really in a smoothie king smoothie besides sugar — and that is what you’ll get here, loads and loads of sugar. It’s a shame that this chain even exists.

I ordered from the kids menu because that was the cheapest they had. I paid $ 3.29 for«Lil’Angel», 12 ounces; strawberry, banana, soy protein and kids multivitamin. I didn’t add the kids’ multivitamin. I was not impressed, watery and it tastes fake like it’s not real fruit. Apparently kids can’t handle a real smoothie so they water it down for them? The menu is also too complicated. This place is for health nuts and body builders. It’s not a regular smoothie shop. Graeters’ smoothies are way better! They are not Smoothie King. This place sucks. Needless to say I will not be back.

«freshly juiced» wheatgrass was cold and watered down… not good. I love wheatgrass and know it was not 100% straight wheatgrass. Either it was premade with water and refridgerated or juiced to one oz and cold watter was added. Not sure what story was because he went into the back to get it. Save the almost 4 bucks and don’t get wheatgrass here. Also– I am not sure they use much in fresh fruit either, possibly bananas but not sure anything else. Drink was super smooth and didn’t see much in fruit around the counters or blenders. I don’t think I will be back. 9 dollar total for just medium smoothy and double wheatgrass shot.

I was dying for a smoothie for a late night light dinner and accidentally pulled up to the drive through right as they were closing. The manager was literally walking out the back door with her purse but offered to go back in and hook us up anyway, so we took her up on it. When we pulled up to the window, all the lights were off, but she turned it all back on just for a $ 13 sale. Nothing but niceness poured out the window with our smoothies. Hey awesome Smoothie King lady, thanks for staying late! You rock!

Our family loves this place. It is a nice treat on our no-meat days. Folks are always helpful and their frequent buyer card helps keep us coming back.

A little pricey, so far I haven’t found a smoothie that I haven’t liked. I agree that they claim all natural, etc. And I must say that they have a larger selection of smoothies than their competition Planet Smoothie. But the true gem of Planet Smoothie is their fundraisers! Planet Smoothie goes into schools and donates a large percentage of the profits to student organizations!

Having never had a smoothie, and particularly one by the King of smoothies, I decided to pop in here especially since I was only a couple of doors away. The first thing I noticed was all the ads for healthy this and healthy that. C’mon, it’s a fruit drink and probably loaded with sugar. And it didn’t taste all that great either, at least to me. The service was good but the smoothie sucked.
