Then you find the food(s) you desire and tell the server(s) behind the counter what you wish. They'll hand you your order and fill out your order form. Give the form to the cashier when you pay. The advantage of cafeteria-style service is that it eliminates the labor needed to bring food to tables (and bus them, as people are expected to bus their own).	+ '''Pluto's''' serves ["restaurants" food] in a fun, stylish atmosphere.

Pluto's seems to have gone down hill in all but one area, which is the strength and quality of the bleach odor that greets you upon entering into the restaurant. Were it not for outdoor seating, I would not eat here ever. If you have a lung infection, you might disinfect your lungs by breathing the air in Pluto's for a few minutes, but this is not medical advice. Consult your doctor first. --["Users/MichaelPlotkin"]

	+ ------ + ''2009-06-27 10:44:57'' [[nbsp]] No, Pluto's isn't organic. I used to really like this place, but then the salads started getting skimpier, and they decided to start charging extra for walnuts... it's not that fabulous anymore. Most of the time I feel like I'm paying more for the dressing than for the salad (they don't know the meaning of 'go easy on the dressing') and some of the vegetables sometimes appear to be previously frozen/thawed. I personally like the completely bottomless salad at Crepeville (also not organic, but larger and fresher) and the new salad bar at the co-op much better. Even the salad bar at the Nugget on Covell is looking better these days, for the value. --["Users/calvin2"]

	+ 2009-06-05 BEWARE! A handful of my friends and I all got food poisoning from sandwiches we got from this place last weekend. In talking to others, I found out we weren't the only ones. I also heard that this isn't the first report of people getting sick from Pluto's food. Too bad! :( I loved their food. But it's not worth what we all went through last weekend (and it was unquestionably the sandwiches).

Highly customizable. I like their sandwiches too. Their lines are seriously long though. On more than one occasion, I've wanted to just get a dessert item here (which requires you to request it from the cashier), but would have had to wait through the entire line to get it. I eventually gave up hope and went elsewhere. The line is much slower than it needs to be because the cashier, in addition to taking your money, is also performing a lot of other tasks as well. So it can take 2-3 minutes to get an order rung up. If they were to give these duties to someone else, the entire line would move much faster, and I would buy food here more often. --["Users/IDoNotExist"]

- ------ - ''2007-01-15 15:35:52'' [[nbsp]] I always get a salad with some glazed walnunts, hiccima, strawberrys when they have them, sprouts, peas, corn, etc. Sooooo good. They Garlic Fries are great, and so is they spicy barbecue. Man my mouth is watering now. --["Users/StevenDaubert"] - ------ - ''2007-01-16 00:57:59'' [[nbsp]] I was confused when ordering from Pluto's on Sunday. All I wanted was some tri tip and mashed potatoes. I felt pressured into ordering a salad, and when I didn't order one, it seemed like I had to wait ten minutes for the meat guy to get to my order. THEN, I clearly saw my plate waiting on the counter for five minutes before the cashier handed it over to me (this was after I paid). Such disorganization...but, on the other hand, I got a free refill on my Coke. I sat down next to the door, so I was chilly most of the night. --["Users/GreggAlexander"] - * '' When I see my food sitting out on the counter, I usually just grab it, especially if I've already paid.

What's that all about?! --["Users/GreggAlexander" Technicolor Lover] - ------ - ''2007-02-28 18:51:38'' [[nbsp]] Went here the other day. I felt more like I was flying Southwest Airlines than eating at a restaurant. Super confusing ordering process. My salad was good though. --["Users/BriannaBetancourt"] - ------ - ''2007-03-24 21:31:17'' [[nbsp]] I went tonight with ["Users/CharlotteHoar"] who is a big fan of Pluto's, but I was not impressed. The price was high, the turkey in my sammich was cold, dry and tasteless. The fries I ordered had so much garlic on them that it was kinda pointless to even have fries. They might as well have just given me some cloves of garlic. --["Users/BradBenedict"] - ------ - ''2007-03-26 08:45:28'' [[nbsp]] I like the salads here. Their balsamic dressing is good, and i like the variety of unusual toppings, like several fruits. However, not only are the lines confusing if your just ordering meat it is also confusing if you are just ordering a veggie salad. You hold the salad in your hands and bipass the people waiting for meat, whose salads are not ready yet. Some stare, does anyone know if this is what your suppose to do, it gets kind of confusing. --["Users/MattHh"] - ------ - ''2007-05-02 12:46:03'' [[nbsp]] LOVE THIS PLACE. this is a great place to eat, their food is good and you are very decently charged for it. It has a very nice atmosphere for lunch with friends or whomever and their foods are always fresh. This is a great place to eat if you're craving salads, sandwiches, and sides =) --["Users/trambajuice"] - ------ - ''2007-05-25 18:07:37'' [[nbsp]] Very tasty and a great value for the salads. The sandwiches are good, but way too expensive for what you get. My wife and I like to split a large salad and a plate of garlic fries... Perfect!! The also have AVBC's hop-ottin' IPA on tap. Arguably the best beer in the know universe. --["Users/BillyBudd"] - ------ - ''2007-06-09 18:51:41'' [[nbsp]] obviously a staple in a students life (we eat poorly and make up for it by eating pluto's salad). The salad's are great and depending on how hungry you are is just the right amount. I went today ate the whole thing and wasn't satified but i've typically brought a little back to snack on later (doesn't do well for more than half a day in the fridge so make sure to eat it before then). --["Users/heyitsdimo"] - ------ - ''2007-06-12 21:14:39'' [[nbsp]] I used to inform the office that I was about to run for Garlic Fries, and did anyone else want any. A wonderful thing: the scent of five bags of garlic (with some fried potato bits) inundating the air. Only problem is that you have to jump on them fast since--if they stay in the bag longer than a few minutes--they get ''really'' soggy. Best eaten on site. --["Users/KevinChin"] - ------ - [[nbsp]] Eh, the salads here are delicious and surely worth it (depending on what you make), the sides are great, the sammiches are alright, but there are better places for the price. As for the salads, they have a great selection of ingredients and such, all fresh, fennel is especially delicious. Sadly, they stopped using punch cards this year.--["Users/DavidPoole"] - ------ - ''2007-06-20 11:34:30'' [[nbsp]] i love their salads, but i hate the customer service. My first time going in there was scary because its like ur playing a game, grab a card, move here, there. Then the person making the salad shouts at you, most of the time i have to repeat what i want numerous times. I cant understand what the person making the food is saying and that person always gets annoyed with me which doesnt feel very good. Some of the people working there look really mean, but good food. If u dont mind feeling bullied, food is worth it. oh and i noticed toppings on salads not labeled, they ask u what u want and u dont even know what the toppings are, u just point, saying, "that one, that one". --["Users/KimberlyMiller"] - ------ - ''2007-07-11 10:55:42'' [[nbsp]] The only thing I have tried here is the Tri-Tip sandwich and I thought it was excellent...Highly reccommended --["Users/MikeJones"] - ------ - ''2007-07-14 17:54:06'' [[nbsp]] The first time I tried to go here I walked in and walked out -- it was a hot day and the menu just seemed overwhelming. I did take a menu to go, and studied it, so I could be ready for the next time. Most people seem to get salads here -- we tried the tri-tip as a meal (get it with the BBQ sauce) and the turkey (it's nice to be able to get ''real'' turkey when it's not Thanksgiving). Both were quite good, although the portions of the tri-tip were small. We also tried the sides -- there were a couple of nice vegetable sides, although the grilled one was a bit better. The stuffing (for the turkey, of course) was really good. Once we had a "knock-you-on-your-ass" lemon bar; sadly, the next time it only teetered us a bit. --["Users/CovertProfessor"] - ------ - ''2007-07-17 21:59:07'' [[nbsp]] I loved the way they tossed my salad very experienced, felt so good in my tummy --["Users/dickjones"] - ------ - ''2007-08-01 14:05:59'' [[nbsp]] Very popular place at the noon hour so expect long lines on occassion ,but the workers work quickly and food is served hot and on time Plutos does a great job with their salads and home cooking. I love the tri tip dip with their curly fries, the mushrooms and mash potatoes are quite tasty as well. Soups great on a cold day to eat outside while studying --["Users/ElizabethBarthel"] - ------ - ''2007-10-30 15:23:20'' [[nbsp]] Great food, terrible service, and terrible layout! The type of style they have setup is not conducive to the lunch hour rushes they get. Any half-decent manager would realize that you can't have one cashier who has to serve drinks, collect money, give out food, deal with refills, and deal with dessert and complaints... It's just ludicrous. If they had decent customer service, their clientèle would triple. --["Users/JustinBaker"] - ------ - ''2007-11-04 17:53:24'' [[nbsp]] Sunday, Nov 4 5pm. The food and service were simply horrible. We had been to Pluto's once before and things were "OK", but this will be the last time we set foot in there. - - The salad girl was too busy chastising us for marking our cards to listen to our order properly so half our food was not ready. At the meat bar the server asked my wife what she wanted then just walked away as she was telling him. - - We went tonight with my wife's 85-year-old grandmother and she tried the tri-tip. It was cold, tough and tasteless and she wound up regurgitating it in the bathroom. The chicken sausage on my salad was undercooked, cold and glutenous and to add insult to injury, my large salad was the same size as my wife's medium... I just had a bigger plate. In grandmother's words the food was "gross." She does not usually throw up from meals.... oh she just mentioned it was stringy too. - - The only thing we ordered that was decent was the coffee. Place has gone far downhill since they opened. --["Users/IanMcKinnon"] - ------ - ''2007-11-05 08:20:54'' [[nbsp]] I love Pluto's, but not so much during the weekends. The best time to visit Pluto's is in the middle of the afternoon on a weekday. The garlic fries with a grilled eggplant sandwich are amazing. --["Users/WillJobe"] - ------ - ''2007-11-05 09:54:47'' [[nbsp]] The last two times I have been here the chicken has tasted strange and did not seem throughly cooked. I ended up picking the chicken out of my salad...Some veggies also do not seem quite as fresh- like the broccoli. --["Users/MyaBrn"]

	+ ------ + ''2008-12-18 20:39:05'' [[nbsp]] I used to like Pluto's, but it has gone way downhill the last couple years. My experience tonight was BAD and I will not go back. I kid you not - there was a cockroach walking on the rim of one of the salad bar containers. I had to point it out to the chef, at which point he simply wiped it off. Only after frowning at my wife did he decide maybe he should remove that container from the ice (however, I had seen it crawl across several containers). No apology or further comment from the salad chef. I'm not so paranoid about a cockroach, but it was symbolic of the rest of our experience too. The food was of poor quality - old and bad-tasting chicken in my salad, poor quality sausage, and it was cold and drafty inside. The garlic fries were good though. --["Users/jwe"]

Hey, by the way, does anyone know if you have to have the PLUTO on your shuttle club card stamped before you get a free meal? --["Users/SaulSugarman"] - ------ - ''2006-01-22 13:57:06'' [[nbsp]] Yes, the Pluto is the last one to be stamped before your free meal. What pissed me off last time I got my free meal was that they will only stamp your card once for two meals that you are buying, but when it comes for that free meal, they'll only comp you for one of those two. Sneaky bastards. I wish that they were more consistant; one stamp for ONE meal/plate. --["Users/KarlaFung"] - ------ - ''2006-05-01 18:45:53'' [[nbsp]] The salads are quite good usually; I look forward to seasonal fruits and veggies that they offer. A large salad is a pretty huge meal for me, but perhaps not so huge for others. In defense of the people that get mad at other people for "cutting" in line, the place IS pretty confusing to newcomers (even with their little signs). Pretty good stuff, though. --["Users/EmilyBlake"] - ------ - ''2006-09-06 15:12:37'' [[nbsp]] As long as you don't get a stingy person making your salad, Pluto's is consistently one of the best places in town.

A little hectic with lots of people, and thus long lines for some foods, but the sandwiches are really, really good and the salads good as well. I love all the fruit you can put in them. Onion rings also tasty, favorite of my boyfriend. Sadly, though, I wonder what will happen now that Pluto is no longer a planet? Heh, just a dwarf. Nerd, I know. --["Users/ChristyMarsden"] - ------ - ''2006-09-12 02:24:16'' [[nbsp]] Long lines, harried servers, and weird fixings. I wanted a salad with some crispy leaves, bacon, sliced egg, ranch dressing and croutons of some kind. I got a look like I was from mars. I ended up with romaine that apparently came out of a microwave, some greasy soggy croutons that tasted like purple, and some vague viniagrette that might as well have been mineral oil and orange juice. It took forever to get, it took forever to pay for, everyone in the place (customers) was totally cell-phone enabled obnoxious. Terrible experience, and, unfortunately, an identical repeat to every experience I've had there. Terrible food, terrible environment. I can't fathom why anyone would go here when Fuzio is 50 feet away. --["Users/ChrisLambertus"] - ------ - ''2006-09-12 23:34:55'' [[nbsp]] I went here the first time my parentals came for a visit, around my birthday. Long lines, noisy, large cell usage (middle of the day on a weekend), But My personal Complaint is that the Salad Tasted Dirty. I felt like it hadn't been washed enough or something, and couldn't even eat half of it. And I'd been eating at the DC up until that point, so while I wasn't expecting anything fine, I wasn't expecting something worse than what Sodexho provides, either. --["Users/MaxMikalonis"] - ------ - ''2006-10-09 16:15:56'' [[nbsp]] I love Plutos. Fresh foods. I suggest you go with a buddy and get a salad, an appetizer or sweets, and a sandwich to share. That way you'll get to try all these different items on the menu and enjoy the meal more. --["Users/KiwiSelina"] - ------ - ''2006-10-27 16:18:54'' [[nbsp]] Pluto salads are the best! If you don't like salads much bulk up on the fruit instead --["Users/LizCerv"] - ------ - ''2006-12-13 22:01:43'' [[nbsp]] Good fresh salad. The price tag seems rather high just for veggies, but it is worth it on occasion. The soup here is also very good. --["Users/JohnHumperdinkle"]	+ ==More Current Reviews==

	+ ------ + ''2008-09-17 20:41:17'' [[nbsp]] My Pops and I ate here a few months ago - no joke - he found a screw in his sandwich. The cashier - again, no joke - grudgingly gave him another sandwich. I am positive this is an aberration, but we were both disappointed. I'd eaten here several times and in Palo Alto as well - always been great but I haven't been back since the incident. Anyone have a price range, by the way? --["Users/sjoe"]

The price was high, the turkey in my sammich was cold, dry and tasteless. The fries I ordered had so much garlic on them that it was kinda pointless to even have fries. They might as well have just given me some cloves of garlic. --["Users/BradBenedict"]	+ ''2007-03-24 21:31:17'' [[nbsp]] I went tonight with ["Users/CharlotteHoar"] who is a big fan of Pluto's, but I was not impressed.

- ''2008-01-07 03:09:40'' [[nbsp]] This has become one of my favorite places for a quick bite when I'm on my own. I think the only vegan salad dressing option here is the cilantro-lime vinaigrette, but it is delicious. I do agree, the size of the salad depends on the person making it. Sometimes, you get someone stingy (or in a rush), & the main salad comes out looking like the side salad just on a bigger plate. The garlic fries are great, but I do recommend you ask them to go easy on the garlic, as they do pile it on. And $4 for a nice, decent glass of wine, you can't beat that. - Does anyone know if they grill their eggplant, fennel & shrooms with the meat? I always want to ask, but they always look so busy back there...so I just skip the grilled veggies. - P.S.

What pissed me off last time I got my free meal was that they will only stamp your card once for two meals that you are buying, but when it comes for that free meal, they'll only comp you for one of those two.

Their balsamic dressing is good, and i like the variety of unusual toppings, like several fruits. However, not only are the lines confusing if your just ordering meat it is also confusing if you are just ordering a veggie salad. You hold the salad in your hands and bipass the people waiting for meat, whose salads are not ready yet. Some stare, does anyone know if this is what your suppose to do, it gets kind of confusing. --["MattHh"] + ------ + ''2007-05-02 12:46:03'' [[nbsp]] LOVE THIS PLACE. this is a great place to eat, their food is good and you are very decently charged for it.

This is a great place to eat if you're craving salads, sandwiches, and sides =) --["Users/trambajuice"] + ------ + ''2007-05-25 18:07:37'' [[nbsp]] Very tasty and a great value for the salads.

Arguably the best beer in the know universe. --["Users/BillyBudd"] + ------ + ''2007-06-09 18:51:41'' [[nbsp]] obviously a staple in a students life (we eat poorly and make up for it by eating pluto's salad). The salad's are great and depending on how hungry you are is just the right amount.

A wonderful thing: the scent of five bags of garlic (with some fried potato bits) inundating the air. Only problem is that you have to jump on them fast since--if they stay in the bag longer than a few minutes--they get ''really'' soggy. Best eaten on site. --["Users/KevinChin"] + ------ + [[nbsp]] Eh, the salads here are delicious and surely worth it (depending on what you make), the sides are great, the sammiches are alright, but there are better places for the price. As for the salads, they have a great selection of ingredients and such, all fresh, fennel is especially delicious. Sadly, they stopped using punch cards this year.--["Users/DavidPoole"] + ------ + ''2007-06-20 11:34:30'' [[nbsp]] i love their salads, but i hate the customer service. My first time going in there was scary because its like ur playing a game, grab a card, move here, there. Then the person making the salad shouts at you, most of the time i have to repeat what i want numerous times. I cant understand what the person making the food is saying and that person always gets annoyed with me which doesnt feel very good. Some of the people working there look really mean, but good food. If u dont mind feeling bullied, food is worth it. oh and i noticed toppings on salads not labeled, they ask u what u want and u dont even know what the toppings are, u just point, saying, "that one, that one". --["Users/KimberlyMiller"] + ------ + ''2007-07-11 10:55:42'' [[nbsp]] The only thing I have tried here is the Tri-Tip sandwich and I thought it was excellent...Highly reccommended --["Users/MikeJones"] + ------ + ''2007-07-14 17:54:06'' [[nbsp]] The first time I tried to go here I walked in and walked out -- it was a hot day and the menu just seemed overwhelming. I did take a menu to go, and studied it, so I could be ready for the next time. Most people seem to get salads here -- we tried the tri-tip as a meal (get it with the BBQ sauce) and the turkey (it's nice to be able to get ''real'' turkey when it's not Thanksgiving). Both were quite good, although the portions of the tri-tip were small. We also tried the sides -- there were a couple of nice vegetable sides, although the grilled one was a bit better. The stuffing (for the turkey, of course) was really good. Once we had a "knock-you-on-your-ass" lemon bar; sadly, the next time it only teetered us a bit. --["Users/CovertProfessor"] + ------ + ''2007-07-17 21:59:07'' [[nbsp]] I loved the way they tossed my salad very experienced, felt so good in my tummy --["Users/dickjones"] + ------ + ''2007-08-01 14:05:59'' [[nbsp]] Very popular place at the noon hour so expect long lines on occassion ,but the workers work quickly and food is served hot and on time Plutos does a great job with their salads and home cooking. I love the tri tip dip with their curly fries, the mushrooms and mash potatoes are quite tasty as well. Soups great on a cold day to eat outside while studying --["Users/ElizabethBarthel"] + ------ + ''2007-10-30 15:23:20'' [[nbsp]] Great food, terrible service, and terrible layout! The type of style they have setup is not conducive to the lunch hour rushes they get. Any half-decent manager would realize that you can't have one cashier who has to serve drinks, collect money, give out food, deal with refills, and deal with dessert and complaints... It's just ludicrous. If they had decent customer service, their clientèle would triple. --["Users/JustinBaker"] + ------ + ''2007-11-04 17:53:24'' [[nbsp]] Sunday, Nov 4 5pm. The food and service were simply horrible. We had been to Pluto's once before and things were "OK", but this will be the last time we set foot in there. + + The salad girl was too busy chastising us for marking our cards to listen to our order properly so half our food was not ready. At the meat bar the server asked my wife what she wanted then just walked away as she was telling him. + + We went tonight with my wife's 85-year-old grandmother and she tried the tri-tip. It was cold, tough and tasteless and she wound up regurgitating it in the bathroom. The chicken sausage on my salad was undercooked, cold and glutenous and to add insult to injury, my large salad was the same size as my wife's medium... I just had a bigger plate. In grandmother's words the food was "gross." She does not usually throw up from meals.... oh she just mentioned it was stringy too. + + The only thing we ordered that was decent was the coffee. Place has gone far downhill since they opened. --["Users/IanMcKinnon"] + ------ + ''2007-11-05 08:20:54'' [[nbsp]] I love Pluto's, but not so much during the weekends. The best time to visit Pluto's is in the middle of the afternoon on a weekday. The garlic fries with a grilled eggplant sandwich are amazing. --["Users/WillJobe"] + ------ + ''2007-11-05 09:54:47'' [[nbsp]] The last two times I have been here the chicken has tasted strange and did not seem throughly cooked. I ended up picking the chicken out of my salad...Some veggies also do not seem quite as fresh- like the broccoli. --["Users/MyaBrn"] + ------ + ''2008-01-07 03:09:40'' [[nbsp]] This has become one of my favorite places for a quick bite when I'm on my own. I think the only vegan salad dressing option here is the cilantro-lime vinaigrette, but it is delicious. I do agree, the size of the salad depends on the person making it. Sometimes, you get someone stingy (or in a rush), & the main salad comes out looking like the side salad just on a bigger plate. The garlic fries are great, but I do recommend you ask them to go easy on the garlic, as they do pile it on. And $4 for a nice, decent glass of wine, you can't beat that. + Does anyone know if they grill their eggplant, fennel & shrooms with the meat? I always want to ask, but they always look so busy back there...so I just skip the grilled veggies. + P.S. Pluto's, please add black olives to the veggie options! --["Users/AprilAries"]

- '''Pluto's''' serves ["restaurants" food] in a fun, stylish atmosphere. Think "The Jetsons". The food is served cafeteria-style. You first take a "guest check" (order form) as you enter. Then you find the food(s) you desire and tell the server(s) behind the counter what you wish. They'll hand you your order and --XpunchX-- fill out your order form. Give the form to the cashier when you pay. The advantage of cafeteria style service is that it eliminates the labor needed to bring food to tables (and bus them, as people are expected to bus their own).	+ I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling + Gotta make you understand
Line 16:	Line 9:
- The menu is divided into these categories:	+ Never gonna give you up + Never gonna let you down + Never gonna run around and desert you + Never gonna make you cry + Never gonna say goodbye + Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Line 18:	Line 16:
- '''Greens & Things''' Pluto's salads are incredible. You can choose up to seven additions to either romaine or a mix. Delicious, sauces, bread and an option for meat finish them off. These are delicious, not to mention an excellent value.	+ We've know each other for so long + Your heart's been aching + But you're too shy to say it + Inside we both know what's been going on + We know the game and we're gonna play it

Line 22:	Line 25:
- '''Veggies & Spuds''' This category includes all sorts of delicious side dishes. They usually even have brussel sprouts. The garlic potato rings and onion rings are incredible.

- And it is so fun. Really, you walk in, grab a little menu card, and as you make your rounds to each different category, the chef-behind the counter hole-punches your card. It's like a time-card, but for food. Then you check out at the counter and voila! Eat your stellar meal. If you eat there often, be sure to ask to be put "in the book".

A wonderful thing: the scent of five bags of garlic (with some fried potato bits) inundating the air. Only problem is that you have to jump on them fast since--if they stay in the bag longer than a few minutes--they get ''really'' soggy. Best eaten on site. --["Users/KevinChin"] - ------ - [[nbsp]] Eh, the salads here are delicious and surely worth it (depending on what you make), the sides are great, the sammiches are alright, but there are better places for the price. As for the salads, they have a great selection of ingredients and such, all fresh, fennel is especially delicious. Sadly, they stopped using punch cards this year.--["Users/DavidPoole"] - ------ - ''2007-06-20 11:34:30'' [[nbsp]] i love their salads, but i hate the customer service. My first time going in there was scary because its like ur playing a game, grab a card, move here, there. Then the person making the salad shouts at you, most of the time i have to repeat what i want numerous times. I cant understand what the person making the food is saying and that person always gets annoyed with me which doesnt feel very good. Some of the people working there look really mean, but good food. If u dont mind feeling bullied, food is worth it. oh and i noticed toppings on salads not labeled, they ask u what u want and u dont even know what the toppings are, u just point, saying, "that one, that one". --["Users/KimberlyMiller"] - ------ - ''2007-07-11 10:55:42'' [[nbsp]] The only thing I have tried here is the Tri-Tip sandwich and I thought it was excellent...Highly reccommended --["Users/MikeJones"] - ------ - ''2007-07-14 17:54:06'' [[nbsp]] The first time I tried to go here I walked in and walked out -- it was a hot day and the menu just seemed overwhelming. I did take a menu to go, and studied it, so I could be ready for the next time. Most people seem to get salads here -- we tried the tri-tip as a meal (get it with the BBQ sauce) and the turkey (it's nice to be able to get ''real'' turkey when it's not Thanksgiving). Both were quite good, although the portions of the tri-tip were small. We also tried the sides -- there were a couple of nice vegetable sides, although the grilled one was a bit better. The stuffing (for the turkey, of course) was really good. Once we had a "knock-you-on-your-ass" lemon bar; sadly, the next time it only teetered us a bit. --["Users/CovertProfessor"] - ------ - ''2007-07-17 21:59:07'' [[nbsp]] I loved the way they tossed my salad very experienced, felt so good in my tummy --["Users/dickjones"] - ------ - ''2007-08-01 14:05:59'' [[nbsp]] Very popular place at the noon hour so expect long lines on occassion ,but the workers work quickly and food is served hot and on time Plutos does a great job with their salads and home cooking. I love the tri tip dip with their curly fries, the mushrooms and mash potatoes are quite tasty as well. Soups great on a cold day to eat outside while studying --["Users/ElizabethBarthel"] - ------ - ''2007-10-30 15:23:20'' [[nbsp]] Great food, terrible service, and terrible layout! The type of style they have setup is not conducive to the lunch hour rushes they get. Any half-decent manager would realize that you can't have one cashier who has to serve drinks, collect money, give out food, deal with refills, and deal with dessert and complaints... It's just ludicrous. If they had decent customer service, their clientèle would triple. --["Users/JustinBaker"] - ------ - ''2007-11-04 17:53:24'' [[nbsp]] Sunday, Nov 4 5pm. The food and service were simply horrible. We had been to Pluto's once before and things were "OK", but this will be the last time we set foot in there. - - The salad girl was too busy chastising us for marking our cards to listen to our order properly so half our food was not ready. At the meat bar the server asked my wife what she wanted then just walked away as she was telling him. - - We went tonight with my wife's 85-year-old grandmother and she tried the tri-tip. It was cold, tough and tasteless and she wound up regurgitating it in the bathroom. The chicken sausage on my salad was undercooked, cold and glutenous and to add insult to injury, my large salad was the same size as my wife's medium... I just had a bigger plate. In grandmother's words the food was "gross." She does not usually throw up from meals.... oh she just mentioned it was stringy too. - - The only thing we ordered that was decent was the coffee. Place has gone far downhill since they opened. --["Users/IanMcKinnon"] - ------ - ''2007-11-05 08:20:54'' [[nbsp]] I love Pluto's, but not so much during the weekends. The best time to visit Pluto's is in the middle of the afternoon on a weekday. The garlic fries with a grilled eggplant sandwich are amazing. --["Users/WillJobe"] - ------ - ''2007-11-05 09:54:47'' [[nbsp]] The last two times I have been here the chicken has tasted strange and did not seem throughly cooked. I ended up picking the chicken out of my salad...Some veggies also do not seem quite as fresh- like the broccoli. --["Users/MyaBrn"] - ------ - ''2008-01-07 03:09:40'' [[nbsp]] This has become one of my favorite places for a quick bite when I'm on my own. I think the only vegan salad dressing option here is the cilantro-lime vinaigrette, but it is delicious. I do agree, the size of the salad depends on the person making it. Sometimes, you get someone stingy (or in a rush), & the main salad comes out looking like the side salad just on a bigger plate. The garlic fries are great, but I do recommend you ask them to go easy on the garlic, as they do pile it on. And $4 for a nice, decent glass of wine, you can't beat that. - Does anyone know if they grill their eggplant, fennel & shrooms with the meat? I always want to ask, but they always look so busy back there...so I just skip the grilled veggies. - P.S. Pluto's, please add black olives to the veggie options! --["Users/AprilAries"]	+ Never gonna give you up + Never gonna let you down + Never gonna run around and desert you + Never gonna make you cry + Never gonna say goodbye + Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Think "The Jetsons". The food is served cafeteria-style. You first take a "guest check" (order form) as you enter. Then you find the food(s) you desire and tell the server(s) behind the counter what you wish. They'll hand you your order and --XpunchX-- fill out your order form.

The options include flank steak, sausages, chicken and roast turkey. + + '''Veggies & Spuds''' This category includes all sorts of delicious side dishes. They usually even have brussel sprouts. The garlic potato rings and onion rings are incredible.

Prices are a little high for the quality of the treats. + + '''Quenchers''' Water, beer and a good selection of non-standard sodas are available, amongst other things. + + '''Little Astronaunts''' (the children's menu) + + And it is so fun. Really, you walk in, grab a little menu card, and as you make your rounds to each different category, the chef-behind the counter hole-punches your card. It's like a time-card, but for food.

Hey, by the way, does anyone know if you have to have the PLUTO on your shuttle club card stamped before you get a free meal? --["SaulSugarman"] + ------ + ''2006-01-22 13:57:06'' [[nbsp]] Yes, the Pluto is the last one to be stamped before your free meal. What pissed me off last time I got my free meal was that they will only stamp your card once for two meals that you are buying, but when it comes for that free meal, they'll only comp you for one of those two. Sneaky bastards. I wish that they were more consistant; one stamp for ONE meal/plate. --["KarlaFung"] + ------ + ''2006-05-01 18:45:53'' [[nbsp]] The salads are quite good usually; I look forward to seasonal fruits and veggies that they offer. A large salad is a pretty huge meal for me, but perhaps not so huge for others. In defense of the people that get mad at other people for "cutting" in line, the place IS pretty confusing to newcomers (even with their little signs). Pretty good stuff, though. --["EmilyBlake"] + ------ + ''2006-09-06 15:12:37'' [[nbsp]] As long as you don't get a stingy person making your salad, Pluto's is consistently one of the best places in town. I love sitting out on the patio when the weather is nice! --["RachelCakes"] + ------ + ''2006-09-08 09:20:55'' [[nbsp]] I love this place. A little hectic with lots of people, and thus long lines for some foods, but the sandwiches are really, really good and the salads good as well. I love all the fruit you can put in them. Onion rings also tasty, favorite of my boyfriend. Sadly, though, I wonder what will happen now that Pluto is no longer a planet? Heh, just a dwarf. Nerd, I know. --["ChristyMarsden"] + ------ + ''2006-09-12 02:24:16'' [[nbsp]] Long lines, harried servers, and weird fixings. I wanted a salad with some crispy leaves, bacon, sliced egg, ranch dressing and croutons of some kind. I got a look like I was from mars. I ended up with romaine that apparently came out of a microwave, some greasy soggy croutons that tasted like purple, and some vague viniagrette that might as well have been mineral oil and orange juice. It took forever to get, it took forever to pay for, everyone in the place (customers) was totally cell-phone enabled obnoxious. Terrible experience, and, unfortunately, an identical repeat to every experience I've had there. Terrible food, terrible environment. I can't fathom why anyone would go here when Fuzio is 50 feet away. --["ChrisLambertus"] + ------ + ''2006-09-12 23:34:55'' [[nbsp]] I went here the first time my parentals came for a visit, around my birthday. Long lines, noisy, large cell usage (middle of the day on a weekend), But My personal Complaint is that the Salad Tasted Dirty. I felt like it hadn't been washed enough or something, and couldn't even eat half of it. And I'd been eating at the DC up until that point, so while I wasn't expecting anything fine, I wasn't expecting something worse than what Sodexho provides, either. --["MaxMikalonis"] + ------ + ''2006-10-09 16:15:56'' [[nbsp]] I love Plutos. Fresh foods. I suggest you go with a buddy and get a salad, an appetizer or sweets, and a sandwich to share. That way you'll get to try all these different items on the menu and enjoy the meal more. --["KiwiSelina"] + ------ + ''2006-10-27 16:18:54'' [[nbsp]] Pluto salads are the best! If you don't like salads much bulk up on the fruit instead --["LizCerv"] + ------ + ''2006-12-13 22:01:43'' [[nbsp]] Good fresh salad. The price tag seems rather high just for veggies, but it is worth it on occasion. The soup here is also very good. --["JohnHumperdinkle"] + ------ + ''2007-01-15 15:35:52'' [[nbsp]] I always get a salad with some glazed walnunts, hiccima, strawberrys when they have them, sprouts, peas, corn, etc. Sooooo good. They Garlic Fries are great, and so is they spicy barbecue. Man my mouth is watering now. --["StevenDaubert"] + ------ + ''2007-01-16 00:57:59'' [[nbsp]] I was confused when ordering from Pluto's on Sunday. All I wanted was some tri tip and mashed potatoes. I felt pressured into ordering a salad, and when I didn't order one, it seemed like I had to wait ten minutes for the meat guy to get to my order. THEN, I clearly saw my plate waiting on the counter for five minutes before the cashier handed it over to me (this was after I paid). Such disorganization...but, on the other hand, I got a free refill on my Coke. I sat down next to the door, so I was chilly most of the night. --["GreggAlexander"] + * '' When I see my food sitting out on the counter, I usually just grab it, especially if I've already paid. The cashiers don't usually know whose food it is anyway.'' + ------ + ''2007-01-24 20:21:58'' [[nbsp]] What the hell kind of salad place doesn't have Thousand Island...? --["AaGg"] + * I know. What's that all about?! --["GreggAlexander" Technicolor Lover] + ------ + ''2007-02-28 18:51:38'' [[nbsp]] Went here the other day. I felt more like I was flying Southwest Airlines than eating at a restaurant. Super confusing ordering process. My salad was good though. --["BriannaBetancourt"] + ------ + ''2007-03-24 21:31:17'' [[nbsp]] I went tonight with ["CharlotteHoar"] who is a big fan of Pluto's, but I was not impressed. The price was high, the turkey in my sammich was cold, dry and tasteless. The fries I ordered had so much garlic on them that it was kinda pointless to even have fries. They might as well have just given me some cloves of garlic. --["BradBenedict"] + ------ + ''2007-03-26 08:45:28'' [[nbsp]] I like the salads here. Their balsamic dressing is good, and i like the variety of unusual toppings, like several fruits. However, not only are the lines confusing if your just ordering meat it is also confusing if you are just ordering a veggie salad. You hold the salad in your hands and bipass the people waiting for meat, whose salads are not ready yet. Some stare, does anyone know if this is what your suppose to do, it gets kind of confusing. --["MattHh"] + ------ + ''2007-05-02 12:46:03'' [[nbsp]] LOVE THIS PLACE. this is a great place to eat, their food is good and you are very decently charged for it. It has a very nice atmosphere for lunch with friends or whomever and their foods are always fresh. This is a great place to eat if you're craving salads, sandwiches, and sides =) --["Users/trambajuice"] + ------ + ''2007-05-25 18:07:37'' [[nbsp]] Very tasty and a great value for the salads. The sandwiches are good, but way too expensive for what you get. My wife and I like to split a large salad and a plate of garlic fries... Perfect!! The also have AVBC's hop-ottin' IPA on tap. Arguably the best beer in the know universe. --["Users/BillyBudd"] + ------ + ''2007-06-09 18:51:41'' [[nbsp]] obviously a staple in a students life (we eat poorly and make up for it by eating pluto's salad).

I can't fathom why anyone would go here when Fuzio is 50 feet away. --["ChrisLambertus"] - ------ - ''2006-09-12 23:34:55'' [[nbsp]] I went here the first time my parentals came for a visit, around my birthday. Long lines, noisy, large cell usage (middle of the day on a weekend), But My personal Complaint is that the Salad Tasted Dirty. I felt like it hadn't been washed enough or something, and couldn't even eat half of it. And I'd been eating at the DC up until that point, so while I wasn't expecting anything fine, I wasn't expecting something worse than what Sodexho provides, either. --["MaxMikalonis"] - ------ - ''2006-10-09 16:15:56'' [[nbsp]] I love Plutos. Fresh foods. I suggest you go with a buddy and get a salad, an appetizer or sweets, and a sandwich to share. That way you'll get to try all these different items on the menu and enjoy the meal more. --["KiwiSelina"] - ------ - ''2006-10-27 16:18:54'' [[nbsp]] Pluto salads are the best! If you don't like salads much bulk up on the fruit instead --["LizCerv"] - ------ - ''2006-12-13 22:01:43'' [[nbsp]] Good fresh salad. The price tag seems rather high just for veggies, but it is worth it on occasion. The soup here is also very good. --["JohnHumperdinkle"] - ------ - ''2007-01-15 15:35:52'' [[nbsp]] I always get a salad with some glazed walnunts, hiccima, strawberrys when they have them, sprouts, peas, corn, etc. Sooooo good. They Garlic Fries are great, and so is they spicy barbecue. Man my mouth is watering now. --["StevenDaubert"] - ------ - ''2007-01-16 00:57:59'' [[nbsp]] I was confused when ordering from Pluto's on Sunday. All I wanted was some tri tip and mashed potatoes. I felt pressured into ordering a salad, and when I didn't order one, it seemed like I had to wait ten minutes for the meat guy to get to my order. THEN, I clearly saw my plate waiting on the counter for five minutes before the cashier handed it over to me (this was after I paid). Such disorganization...but, on the other hand, I got a free refill on my Coke. I sat down next to the door, so I was chilly most of the night. --["GreggAlexander"] - * '' When I see my food sitting out on the counter, I usually just grab it, especially if I've already paid. The cashiers don't usually know whose food it is anyway.'' - ------ - ''2007-01-24 20:21:58'' [[nbsp]] What the hell kind of salad place doesn't have Thousand Island...? --["AaGg"] - * I know. What's that all about?! --["GreggAlexander" Technicolor Lover] - ------ - ''2007-02-28 18:51:38'' [[nbsp]] Went here the other day. I felt more like I was flying Southwest Airlines than eating at a restaurant. Super confusing ordering process. My salad was good though. --["BriannaBetancourt"] - ------ - ''2007-03-24 21:31:17'' [[nbsp]] I went tonight with ["CharlotteHoar"] who is a big fan of Pluto's, but I was not impressed. The price was high, the turkey in my sammich was cold, dry and tasteless. The fries I ordered had so much garlic on them that it was kinda pointless to even have fries. They might as well have just given me some cloves of garlic. --["BradBenedict"] - ------ - ''2007-03-26 08:45:28'' [[nbsp]] I like the salads here. Their balsamic dressing is good, and i like the variety of unusual toppings, like several fruits. However, not only are the lines confusing if your just ordering meat it is also confusing if you are just ordering a veggie salad. You hold the salad in your hands and bipass the people waiting for meat, whose salads are not ready yet. Some stare, does anyone know if this is what your suppose to do, it gets kind of confusing. --["MattHh"] - ------ - ''2007-05-02 12:46:03'' [[nbsp]] LOVE THIS PLACE. this is a great place to eat, their food is good and you are very decently charged for it. It has a very nice atmosphere for lunch with friends or whomever and their foods are always fresh. This is a great place to eat if you're craving salads, sandwiches, and sides =) --["Users/trambajuice"] - ------ - ''2007-05-25 18:07:37'' [[nbsp]] Very tasty and a great value for the salads.

A wonderful thing: the scent of five bags of garlic (with some fried potato bits) inundating the air. Only problem is that you have to jump on them fast since--if they stay in the bag longer than a few minutes--they get ''really'' soggy. Best eaten on site. --["Users/KevinChin"] - ------ - [[nbsp]] Eh, the salads here are delicious and surely worth it (depending on what you make), the sides are great, the sammiches are alright, but there are better places for the price. As for the salads, they have a great selection of ingredients and such, all fresh, fennel is especially delicious. Sadly, they stopped using punch cards this year.--["Users/DavidPoole"] - ------ - ''2007-06-20 11:34:30'' [[nbsp]] i love their salads, but i hate the customer service. My first time going in there was scary because its like ur playing a game, grab a card, move here, there. Then the person making the salad shouts at you, most of the time i have to repeat what i want numerous times. I cant understand what the person making the food is saying and that person always gets annoyed with me which doesnt feel very good. Some of the people working there look really mean, but good food. If u dont mind feeling bullied, food is worth it. oh and i noticed toppings on salads not labeled, they ask u what u want and u dont even know what the toppings are, u just point, saying, "that one, that one". --["Users/KimberlyMiller"] - ------ - ''2007-07-11 10:55:42'' [[nbsp]] The only thing I have tried here is the Tri-Tip sandwich and I thought it was excellent...Highly reccommended --["Users/MikeJones"] - ------ - ''2007-07-14 17:54:06'' [[nbsp]] The first time I tried to go here I walked in and walked out -- it was a hot day and the menu just seemed overwhelming. I did take a menu to go, and studied it, so I could be ready for the next time. Most people seem to get salads here -- we tried the tri-tip as a meal (get it with the BBQ sauce) and the turkey (it's nice to be able to get ''real'' turkey when it's not Thanksgiving). Both were quite good, although the portions of the tri-tip were small. We also tried the sides -- there were a couple of nice vegetable sides, although the grilled one was a bit better. The stuffing (for the turkey, of course) was really good. Once we had a "knock-you-on-your-ass" lemon bar; sadly, the next time it only teetered us a bit. --["Users/CovertProfessor"] - ------ - ''2007-07-17 21:59:07'' [[nbsp]] I loved the way they tossed my salad very experienced, felt so good in my tummy --["Users/dickjones"] - ------ - ''2007-08-01 14:05:59'' [[nbsp]] Very popular place at the noon hour so expect long lines on occassion ,but the workers work quickly and food is served hot and on time Plutos does a great job with their salads and home cooking.

The chicken sausage on my salad was undercooked, cold and glutenous and to add insult to injury, my large salad was the same size as my wife's medium... I just had a bigger plate.

I think the only vegan salad dressing option here is the cilantro-lime vinaigrette, but it is delicious. I do agree, the size of the salad depends on the person making it. Sometimes, you get someone stingy (or in a rush), & the main salad comes out looking like the side salad just on a bigger plate. The garlic fries are great, but I do recommend you ask them to go easy on the garlic, as they do pile it on. And $4 for a nice, decent glass of wine, you can't beat that. - Does anyone know if they grill their eggplant, fennel & shrooms with the meat? I always want to ask, but they always look so busy back there...so I just skip the grilled veggies. - P.S. Pluto's, please add black olives to the veggie options! --["Users/AprilAries"]	+ Nigger

However, not only are the lines confusing if your just ordering meat it is also confusing if you are just ordering a veggie salad. You hold the salad in your hands and bipass the people waiting for meat, whose salads are not ready yet. Some stare, does anyone know if this is what your suppose to do, it gets kind of confusing. --["MattHh"]

- Pluto's serves food in a fun, stylish atmosphere. Think "The Jetsons". The food is served cafeteria-style. You first take a "guest check" (order form) as you enter. Then you find the food(s) you desire and tell the server(s) behind the counter what you wish. They'll hand you your order and punch your order form. Give the form to the cashier when you pay. The advantage of cafeteria style service is that it eliminates the labor needed to bring food to tables (and bus them, as people are expected to bus their own).	+ '''Pluto's''' serves food in a fun, stylish atmosphere.

The food's great but what about the grandmothers? -["JackHaskel"] - ------ - ''2005-03-08 18:14:09'' [[nbsp]] I still don't get it... how is this really different from a buffet experience? I kinda hate standing in lines, let alone standing in multiple lines to get my food [unless it's really cheap, of course!]. Is Pluto's really just an upscale cafeteria?? --["AlphaDog"]------ - ''2005-05-16 10:41:35'' [[nbsp]] All though the portions are decent, the salad is really not big enough for 2 average eaters (like some say). Back in the dorm days (when i was used to eating large infrequent meals) I had a large salad with meat and was still hungry afterwards. The truth is that they are just as big as any other restaurant main salads. That being said, the quality of the salads are quite good. I really love the balsamic dressing. However, a steak ordered medium has a very large variation of how cooked it is depending on the chef. I have gotten steak ranging from pink all the way through to burnt beyond well done. --["MattHh"] - ------ - ''2005-05-16 23:01:44'' [[nbsp]] It's a lot like Jack's Urban Eats in Loehmann's plaza in Sacramento, except Jack's has better food. --["TylerKaraszewski"] - I like the downtown Jack's better than Pluto's, at least for the salad ingredients. Pluto's is great for the Mushrooms of the Moment and Garlic Fries. They aren't expensive but are a great thing to split between a couple. Assuming both people like hard core garlic and mushrooms. --["JabberWokky"] - ------ - ''2005-05-16 23:59:33'' [[nbsp]] I don't really like Pluto's, either. Ok, so they have a lot of veggies, but they all seem to taste bland. Ick. --["SummerSong"] - ------ - ''2005-05-16 23:59:33'' [[nbsp]] If Pluto's is really busy... and you order some food... and try to find a table... and then all of a sudden find a table... sit down... eat... drive home... well, you may very well forget to pay for your food. Interestingly enough, nobody noticed. Oops. --["MichaelGiardina"] - ------ - ''2005-07-05 21:13:54'' [[nbsp]] Plutos has good food, but I prefer self serve salad bars. Plus, things can get real confusing with the multiple lines that weave through a relativley small space. Customers often find themselves asking one another, "Wait what line are you in? Is this where I pay? Do I order meat here, or over there?" Bottom line: Decent food, difficult ordering process, iin somewhat crowded, cramped enviornment. --["SiennaGrass"] - ------ - ''2005-07-06 08:45:53'' [[nbsp]] I think Pluto's actually is better than Jack's Urban Eats, and that Pluto's prices and portions are better. Also their ingredients are slightly better in the salad bar. I just wish it didn't smell like bleach so strongly upon entering the store. --["JaimeRaba"] - ------ - ''2005-08-13 11:01:58'' [[nbsp]] I love the salads. The garlic fries are also awesome. The sandwiches are usually good if you can stand a little bit of char on the meat. If you can't find a table, you can always get stuff to go and eat it out on the lawn. --["AlexPomeranz"] - ------ - ''2005-09-18 00:49:43'' [[nbsp]] I arrived with low blood sugar so my cognitive processes weren't up to par, meaning I found it a little overwhelming (trying to figure out how the menu corresponded to the food). I finally kept it simple, ordered some sliced flank steak, mashed potatoes with beef gravy, and regular iced tea. I didn't like the mashed potatoes though the gravy wasn't bad. The steak was quite good. I also enjoyed the garlic fries and onion rings (my wife shared hers). --["JeffreyNonken"] - ------ - ''2005-10-15 14:12:48'' [[nbsp]] I like Pluto's. Especially the garlic curly fries mmm... The only thing I don't like is the attitude other customers give you if you skip the Salad and go straight for a sandwich. Just because I know how to read the little menu card that says if I don't want a salad I can skip ahead, don't get mad at me. --["JoAnnaRich"] - ------ - ''2005-11-10 23:50:22'' [[nbsp]] I am rather fond of the sandwiches they serve at Plutos. The meat is just right, not overdone, or underdone, the bread is pretty good, and overall it's a decent sandwich. The only gripe I can think of is the onion rings, which are good, but tend to slip out of the batter. Overall, good food, even though you might at first not be used to serving yourself, half of the way. --["MatthewTom"] - ------	+ [[Include(PhotoRequest)]] + + + [[Comments(Add a Review)]] + + ==Older Reviews== + + * ["Pluto's/2005 Reviews" Reviews from 2005] + + ==Current Reviews==

I felt pressured into ordering a salad, and when I didn't order one, it seemed like I had to wait ten minutes for the meat guy to get to my order. THEN, I clearly saw my plate waiting on the counter for five minutes before the cashier handed it over to me (this was after I paid). Such disorganization...but, on the other hand, I got a free refill on my Coke. I sat down next to the door, so I was chilly most of the night. --["GreggAlexander"]

I felt like it hadn't been washed enough or something, and couldn't even eat half of it.

I got a look like I was from mars. I ended up with romaine that apparently came out of a microwave, some greasy soggy croutons that tasted like purple, and some vague viniagrette that might as well have been mineral oil and orange juice. It took forever to get, it took forever to pay for, everyone in the place (customers) was totally cell-phone enabled obnoxious. Terrible experience, and, unfortunately, an identical repeat to every experience I've had there. Terrible food, terrible environment.
