A grilled cheese sandwich for $6.50?

Oh well, at least it has a conscience.

The "curbside service" idea is brilliant, if they have the staff for it. I don't have a kid, but that means I can get food from there with my dog, without leaving him tied up outside.

Kudoes, too, for their giving a worthwhile discount for reuse of containers.

$8.50 for a cheeseburger??? My conscience tells me we're in a recession, and that's a ridiculous price.

Just remember where that money goes when you buy it from most other places. Ultimately it feeds the people, companies and policies that caused this recession to happen in the first place. You vote with your wallet people. Think about it... do some research. Where does that food come from? What kind of subsidies are given to the large cattle industry "farms" to ensure that cheep beef? Why? Do you know what goes on in those places? If you did you might not complain about an all natural, sustainably farmed, humanely treated, healthy, "tasty" 8.50 burger. I for one think it's a sign of progress.

I sure hope my fast food is conscious!

But I guess it would be nice if the purveyors of the fast food had a conscience.

"...is NOT conscious..."

That's what I meant.

8.5 for a good burger and fries or salad is not ridiculous. You people must either only eat at fast food restaurants or never get out.

The prices aren't too bad, but I hope they stay open later than six a few nights a week.

The slogan is god-awful.

I think the similarly-spelled but very different words conscious and conscience are being bandied about arbitrarily here.
That aside, the prices seem the same as hamburger helper's down the block...

hmm... the prices don't seem unreasonable to me, considering that they do include a side with the sandwich.

am looking forward to trying the polenta royale. nice to have a vegetarian option that isn't some sort of reconfigured soy/tofu...

I would love to try their food... but I'm never home by 6:00 PM during the week. Hopefully I'll remember them on a Saturday. Running a restaurant is really tough... even opening 10 AM - 6 PM makes for a 10 hour day between prep and clean-up and accounting/business work. So I hate to ask for staying open for evenings, but... you know... if that could be done at some point it would be awesome, especially during the summer, and I'd be sure to come in a grab a burger and non-fries. :-)

That was a fast turnaround! (for the space, that is)

Seems like it'll be a good lunch option, for those of us lucky enough to work here.

Ooooh coleslaw. Roasted french fries?
Looks like the $8.50 cheeseburger also includes a side. Not bad.
Printing out the menu and puttin' it on my fridge right now!

Gringo food?

Our apologies for the typo! Thanks Laura for emailing us. We've updated the story to reflect their motto: "Fast food with a conscience."

Yuppie food. Probably tastes like tree bark and bird seed.

Substitute "bark" for "amazing" and "bird seed" for healthy, throw in "the best food around that won't leave you slightly ill afterwords"

Yay!!!!! Grubby is back!!!!

The menu looks great and the prices are very reasonable for other burger places nearby (e.g. Zak's) I appreciate the small portions for children and the curb-side service option.

Thank you Ballard for a good first day so far! We're kinda crazy getting settled in, but we plan to adjust many things as we go...we REALLY want to know what your food needs are. Staying open later, definitely on the board.

stopped in for lunch today. my friend & i split the polenta royale (w/ non-fries and coleslaw) and the soup of the day which was lamb stew (w/foccia bread).

the food is very very good. great portion sizing, just the right amount of spice/flavors.

bottom line: healthy, tasty, and good pricing.

my opinion: open later and close later--- at least on the weekdays... i too would like to have this spot as a dinner option.

I wish they would include nutrition information about there menu...i'd be curious to see how healthy it really is...If it is actually healthy, i'm totally there!!!

HS...it's been over two years since I swore off McDonalds, Burger King ect. and the hardest part is driving home at 8am after work and passing up on breakfast sandwiches. Any chance you'll make your 'kind' breakfast sandwiches that I could buy ahead of time and throw in the fridge since you don't open until 10am?

My husband and I just ate there today. He had the grilled cheese: YUMMY. I had the burger: yummy but not as yummy as the grilled cheese.

Very friendly folks. I'll certainly go back.

Starting next week, 11 AM - 7 PM (ish)
Ready to cook take- home meals coming soon. Working on packaging issues.

Here's a more thorough write-up/review of GreenGo Food. Three thumbs up:

We popped into Green Go to order a hamburger for my ravenous four year old. We ordered off the menu--a plain burger with ketchup and also got a side of Apple Crisp.

My four year old is rather picky, so I was delighted when he noshed through 3/4 of his burger and actually ate half the apple crisp. And then gushed about it.

When we got home, I was able to toss the packaging and spoon into the compost container.

Also really appreciate the curbside service with a hungry four year old and sleeping two year old.

Look forward to trying the rest of the menu!

My husband and I ate there the other day and loved it! I had the burger and he had the polenta royale. Both were amazing, and I am craving another one of those burgers. I only like to eat organic beef, so to find a quick burger I will eat is great. My biggest complaint was that both the paint job and the paint colors were an EYESORE! I would make it look a little more professional so you don't want to run away from the place! Paint it a fresh soothing light green or something. I really want this place to succeed so I can keep getting those burgers!

I think this is exactly the kind thing we need more of in Ballard. Locally derived food that's very affordable, from sustainable, healthy sources. my lunch today was only $5.50 and I'm full. Last time i got a tasty burger I was told the name of the cow it came from. Imagine... ground meat that came from 1 animal instead of upwards of 100 (did you know that?). Delicious seasoned veggies, and polenta are another favorite of mine. The owners are friendly and fast (not too chatty), and their son Cypress is super cute and provided great entertainment while i waited for to-go food. Remember that you vote with your wallet, buy local and sustainable... GO EAT HERE!
