"While visiting Palo Alto, I decided to check out Pluto based on its appearance. After dining there, I left feeling slightly disappointed, as I believe it deserves a solid 3.5 stars but not quite a 4. The menu consists of salads and sandwiches, with a variety of sides to choose from. You can opt for a preset sandwich or salad combination or customize your own. It's important to note that the salad and sandwich lines are separate, so make sure you're in the right queue. Upon ordering, you receive a list to take to the counter for payment. I chose to create my own sandwich with fries, selecting a sourdough chicken with greens, red peppers, pepperjack cheese, low-fat garlic mayo, and basil pesto spread. I added garlic curly fries on the side. The total came to $17.25, which I found a bit pricey, especially considering the extra charge for cheese and basil pesto spread. The food arrived promptly and looked appetizing. The sandwich was a decent size with a satisfactory portion of curly fries. However, I found the sandwich to be a little dry, and I couldn't taste the cheese or pesto as much as I had hoped. The garlic fries were delicious, but they were served with a heavy dose of fresh garlic, which overwhelmed my taste buds by the end of the meal. I recommend requesting the garlic on the side next time. Overall, Pluto offers generous portions, an average sandwich, tasty fries, and quick service, making it a decent choice for lunch."

I have been dining at this restaurant regularly for the past two years. The food always uses fresh and high-quality ingredients, and the service has been getting better.

Most reasonably priced place in Palo Alto. I made a meal just out of sides my favorites were mashed potatoes 2.75) and brussels sprouts 2.75) and a piece of bread .75). I also got the mixed veggies 2.75) and mushrooms 2.75), but thought they were just okay. The custom salads are also enormous and delicious.

The restaurant is decent and the salads and turkey dinners look appetizing. I decided to try The Big Bang Lunar dip steak sandwich, which is grilled fresh over an open flame. The issue I encountered was that the sauce was too sweet and the meat had too much fat on it. It would be preferable if they trimmed off the excess fat before serving.

Whyyyyyy close all the Pluto's, especially this location??? This is very sad. Decent, comfort food that didn't cost an arm and a leg like most everything else around here. And nice employees that I am really sad are without a place to work now! I've been coming here for 14 years and can't believe it's gone. It was one of the last mainstays on University. Thank you for having been open, I am so sorry to see you go. EDIT: Even though it says it's temporarily closed, it's closed. Even the phone is disconnected. View menu

I love Pluto's! This is my favorite post soul cycle spot! Truthfully I'd make the drive over here to grab a salad regardless, but it's worth it! I usually stop by here after a workout customize my own salad. The half portion is basically a full plate you get to choose a handful of toppings to go along with your salad. Everything is always pretty fresh when I come here which is definitely a must when it comes to greens! I've also tried their entrees which are really good as well! The veggies are seasoned/cooked so well pair really well with the meat they offer. The sandwiches are also really good, but their portions can definitely run a bit big so it's easy to share with others! I recommend s...

I came here with my bf on a Tuesday evening. We found parking right around the corner and there was no line for the location. A little confused, but we soon figured it out. They have a couple different stations where you order your food then you go to the cashier and pay. We got one Thai Salad with Shrimp. It was a little under $14 and came with about 5 shrimps. The portions are huge hence the price is pretty worth. I wish they did give more shrimp for the salad. My boyfriend and I shared the salad and I ended up saving the rest for lunch the next day. They do a wide range include mac and cheese, salad, sandwich, meats, etc. Overall their desserts look amazing! The cookies and brownies all l...

They took out the curly fries : I was very tempted to change my rating to 3 stars because I loved garlic curly fries that much, but that doesn't mean the sandwich was not good anymore. I got the same sandwich with focaccia bread this time. It was good as well, a little thicker and chewier, but I think I would stick to the sourdough. I had realized they didn't have curly fries after I had actually ordered them. When I went to go get my food, I see regular fries and asked them that it's the wrong dish, and then I was told that they didn't carry out anymore. The fries were still good, but I wish I was told that when I paid for them because I didn't really want to eat the regular ones. This plac... View menu

Summary: Fresh food made quick, with good quality. Prices are reasonable and portions are large. Sometimes the lunch rush results in a queue, so plan accordingly. I 've been to Pluto 's three times now. Each time I did a build your own (large) salad , and each time tried a different combination of ingredients. You basically choose your lettuce type (kale is extra), and seven toppings (there are premium options available). A large salad with kale and seven non-premium toppings (like edamame, kidney beans, broccoli, etc) costs around $13 and is enough for two full meals. There are a bunch of different dressings, but so far none of them have been particularly amazing. They also have hot sandwic...

Took a side salad to-go. Did you know that the British call it takeaway ? But yeah, amidst the hustle and slowly flowing moments in the day, I came to reflect upon the idea that it 's more noteworthy when a person challenges him or herself to do something that he or she isn 't the best at than someone flaunting only what he or she is certain will result in success. Be it showing kindness (anger is often sadness disguised) or some kind of physical activity (i.e., volleyball). While others are only trying to get better at what they 're good at (while criticizing or excluding those who aren 't as good as they are), others are pushing themselves to get better and trying to expands their horizons...
