Dig Inn

What a pleasant meal! Fast, good portion and tasty. Very reasonably priced. I would most certainly recommend this to anyone.

What a wonderfully efficient, high-​quality, pleasant place to visit. I had the chicken platter and thought that every component of it was delicious. The staff are attentive, helpful, and polite. I really enjoyed my food and the experience.
I will definitely be back and hope that this chain expands into locations that are more consistently convenient for me.

Healthy seasonal FAST food is hard to come by but thankfully there is Dig Inn. It is food I would actually make at home if I had time. Essentially it follows the Chipotle model where you go down the line to pick your ingredients. You first decide if you want a big or small plate, or you can opt for a soup or salad. I’ve only gotten small plates which includes a bed of rice/​farro/​or greens, a protein and two sides.
I recommend:
–Farro which has diced squash
–chicken– nicely spiced and tender
–5 spice meatballs — wrongly named as they are not seasoned with 5 spice, the seasoning typically used in Asian cooking (popcorn chicken, Taiwanese pork chop) but i believe 5 spices that are used in Italian cooking. These meatballs are covered in tomato sauce and were satisfying nevertheless.
— sides — I liked the lemony Brussels sprouts, charred greens, kale and quince salad.
I wasn’t crazy about the sweet potatoes which were a bit bland and not sweet.
The line during lunch hour gets pretty long but it moves at a reasonable pace. The price for a small plate is $ 8.04 which is fairly «cheap» for this neighborhood. I have always finished my plate which tells you the potions are not large but it’s just enough for me. For a guy, it’s probably best to choose the large.

good good good. i will go back again.

Update to my first review, I’ve given Dig Inn a second chance and now count myself as a fan. Their summer seasonal menu lobster sandwhich won me over. Since then I’ve enjoyed other items off the seasonal menus, which I’m more of a fan of than their staples.

A great lunch spot 15 minutes away from my office. I ordered the small market plate: chicken over brown rice with sweet potatoes and Brussel sprouts. It seemed very healthy, but a little too bland. My friend recommended I get a sauce next time. I’ll definitely go back and I’m extremely happy to have found a Dig Inn nearby! I’m excited to try the other variations as well.

This was one of my go to places to pick up lunch if I don’t pack anything from home. While the food options are great and healthy, I feel their service is going down.
Each time I come there seems to be a different process on what you can order, what costs extra. Not only that, the portions get smaller and smaller each time. Sometimes the server will scoop back if they think they scooped too much. They used to offer half avocados and now they cut it to a quarter. I just don’t think it’s worth the price anymore.
The servers aren’t the friendliest but that’s fine with me as long as the line keeps moving and I get the food I asked for.

Although the food skews to the salty side, I’m still a fan.
I was in this location and needed to eat something with only 30 minutes to spare. Most of the restaurants in this area are absurdly over-​priced, but when I popped into Dig Inn the menu and prices were reasonable.
I ordered the Wild Salmon plate with two sides. The salmon was served with pesto and was VERY VERY good — no fishy taste, even with the skin on! The sweet potatoes were tasty, especially since they serve them with the skin on (the only way I enjoy them). The one flaw was the curried kale — the cook was heavy-​handed with that salt.
If I ever come back, I’ll bring water to balance my sodium-​potassium pump. Nonetheless, it’s a stand-​out spot in the area due to the prices and quality.

It’s so hard to find fast, affordable, healthy food in this city so I must give Dig Inn 5 stars. I come here almost every day and, yes, I’m getting a little sick of it, but if you’re just looking for wholesome, simple food at a great price, you really have no other options other than salads. I hope this model of «fast casual» explodes so I don’t have to choose between Chinese food and pizza for a cheap meal.

Love this Dig Inn location. Everyone is so nice and food is quick and great. Ayana especially rocks!

This has become my favorite quick lunch option.
The food is really good. Everything is fresh and portions are good.
I personally don’t like any of the cold food items but that could just be I like to eat warm veggies.
The proteins seem to remain the same but the sides change seasonally. The Brussels sprouts they have right now are insanely good.
I prefer the chicken but like all of the meats. I like the salmon but I am not the biggest fan of the pesto on top.

I’m a bit tired, so I won’t bang on — but I like this place for takeout.
Salmon, brown rice and kale is my dish de jour but there is always a good selection.
If you are reading this over other reviews, you are mad. But Dig Inn with gusto.

Dig Inn is a welcome sight in this neighborhood. This location had great service, good selections and quality food. If you want a quick, healthy meal, stop in here!

Ordered for pick up here with my coworker today. He expressed how good it was and I would have to agree!
I ordered the ‘Big Market Plate’ which you can choose your protein, two sides and on a bed of grains. I went with the meatballs and I chose the brown rice as my grains with the seasonal upstate mac and half an avocado as my two sides.
The meatballs were surprisingly good! They were well seasoned, hearty but not too heavy. I was a fan.
So. the seasonal upstate mac is made with butternut squash which at first i was like –_​_​_​– because I have a vendetta against sweet vegetables — I just do. But Dig Inn made me a believer because the mac and cheese was great and the butternut squash (dare I say it) enhanced the flavor giving it an addition subtle nutty flavor.
Brown rice was as good as brown rice could be. The only qualm with the meal was that my avocado wasn’t as ripe as I like it to be but they can’t control when things do or do not ripen.
The portion was great too, I felt full (which is an accomplishment) and I only paid $ 11 which is reasonable for lunch in the city.
As a tip: I would order online and grab it to go as it can get full during typical lunch hours.
I recommend this spot for lunch!

Dig Inn is what the future of fast food looks like. Just as with Chipotle, they provide fresh food options that are both delicious and plentiful.
One of the great things about Dig Inn is the fact that the line moves extremely fast. When you first walk in, you’re likely to get hit with a bout of claustrophobia from the massive amount of people in line, but rest assured that things move quickly and orderly.
The vegetable sides are delicious. Some are basic dishes like broccoli, others are interesting recipes that cater to vegan and vegetarian diners, while still being delicious. All of the meat options are very tasty and, most importantly, freshly made.
Dig Inn is a really good option for those who want a full meal with a short wait. Prices are very reasonable, service is fast and food is tasty with high quality.

Great place for lunch or dinner, with really cool «home-​style» meals and sandwhiches. I had the beef casserole and it was great, and today the hero sandwhiches with meatballs — best sandwhiches I’ve had for a long time, but make sure you take a lot of napkins!
The Mac and cheese side is just perfect. Crispy and with just the right cheesy flavour. Other sides like the kale was great too.
The ginger mint lemonade, sweetened with agave, is perfect.
Also staff is really friendly and smiling, and helpful too I explaining all the options.

I used to work near this Dig Inn, so when they opened this new location, I thought I’d check it out with a co-​worker. Got the Tofu, Kale Medley, Brussels Sprouts and Rice. For my troubles, I enjoyed food poisoning that night. Hey, I love spending ample amounts of the time in my bathroom as much as the next person, but I think I’ll pass on the destructive stomach bacteria.

I usually come to Digg Inn for the Market Plates options but my coworker recently introduced me to the Avocado Waldorf (with no celery) and has been my go-​to order for now. Its as filling as the Marketplate option but I feel healthier and not wanting to fall asleep right after. The ingredients are not too overwhelming and i have consistently been satisfied with it!
Shout out to ~Simone who makes the salad — always nice and always seems to have a smile on her face, even at the busiest times. As well as Angelica who is a cashier there — very patient and also very nice!

The service is great! Although it gets REALLY busy during lunch time the staff stay professional and upbeat. I would like to give a special acknowledgement to Esai (on the line) and Simone (at the cash register), they are both exceptional, very helpful and knowledgable of the products.
Additionally, as a former Vegan (turned Vegetarian that still doesn’t consume dairy), I always have a lot of options to choose from. I always get a veggie plate and the portion is definitely enough to satisfy my hunger during my lunch break!

This is my go-​to spot for lunch now. Yes, you’re going to pay a couple bucks more than you would for a Chipotle burrito (and almost double for street meat) or whatever else you’d get in this area called the «South Village» (ugh). But the quality and selection make up for it. Their slogan is «from farm to counter», which is not only clever but also probably true. Everything tastes fresh.
There’s definitely a line during prime lunch hours, but the lines move fairly quickly. Meaning, be prepared.
The typical lunch plate gets you 2 sides and a meat portion (with a grain or bed or arugula). The veggie sides are excellent. I’ve recently started a low-​carb/​no-​starch plan, so I was worried there wouldn’t be many options, but my favorite cold sides are the quinoa, spinach salad, spaghetti squash & chickpea, broccoli, and tofu. Hot sides are usually starchy (like corn pudding or sweet potato mash), but they do have cauliflower and now brussels sprouts which are very tasty. I’ve tried their roast chicken and braised beef, but my fav is their spicy meatballs (though there’s probably some bread crumbs in there, as almost all meatballs have). The sauce goes well with the arugula.
Checkout is quick, people are generally very friendly. It’s a take-​out place (only a few tables).
