    Start has a drive-thru that will hand you one of the better breakfast burritos in all of Dallas. The scrambled eggs are loose and moist and decorated with just enough melted cheddar cheese. Read more

    The veggie and egg white sandwich is phenomenal but beware if you eat in the car it can be drippy! Still totally worth it!

    This is my 2nd time having the "Best Ever Quinoa" & I heartily agree! I also tried the sweet potato tots & inhaled them before getting back to the office to snap a pic.;)

    Gf wrap was the most cardboard-like GF item I've ever eaten. And I've eaten a lot of GF stuff. The boyfriend had a turkey cranberry chipotle wrap on a regular tortilla and declared it "ok." $30 total

    Great for those with gluten allergies. All breads can be substituted for gluten-free. The better burger is quite good, as is the flourless chocolate cake.

    Don't expect this to be McDonald's price and speed. Its better quality than that and takes a few minutes more. The food is a little pricey, but really delicious. Parking is tight. Eco friendly!

    Great vegetarian friendly food that is fresh and served at a local small business. If you want cheap, processed food, obesity and diabetes go to McDonalds.

    Pros: free-range, grass-fed beef burgers are amazing, and the salads are large enough to split. Cons: took 15+ min from placing order to get food, and sides are not included.

    The entire menu is worth trying. My favorites are the Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese English Muffin and the Sweet Cranberry Tator.

    Wraps, smoothies and other healthful meals are available all over Dallas, but until Start opened on upper Greenville Avenue, you had to get out of your car to get them. Read more

    I waited <15 minutes for a delicious savory sweet potato and gluten-free cake. Sure it was more expensive than McDonald's, but it was perfectly reasonable for food that's actually made of food.

    Quinoa burger and tots were good. Jalapeños are raw (not pickled) so careful if that's not your thing. Quinoa salad is a better value than tots for a side.

    They have a really great (if a bit overpriced) breakfast burrito here. All the ingredients taste really fresh and it came out nice and hot. Try it!

    Completely OVERPRICED FOOD. Chicken wrap $9.50, bag of pita chips and hummus $3.50. Kids PB&J $4.50.

    Quinoa salad and the burger tend to be solid choices for those of us on a calorie budget.

    Entrees don't come with fries, chips, or any type of side - in which case $13.00 for a burger and small drink is just over-priced fast food.

    Some of the best slow fast food you'll ever have, but some of the most annoying white people. Sacrifices must be made I suppose.

    As a whole I think this place is overrated, but the sweet potato tater tots were pretty damn good.
