Mendocino Farms Unveils Fresh Spring Menu to Celebrate Continued Expansion

Mendocino Farms Launches Exciting Spring Menu

Mendocino Farms, a renowned fast-casual restaurant chain, is set to unveil its latest seasonal offerings with the launch of the "Come Graze a While" menu on February 24, 2026. Known for its creative approach to sandwiches and salads, Mendocino Farms continues to delight fast-casual dining enthusiasts with unique and flavorful combinations. This update marks the first of the year for the restaurant, which has been expanding rapidly across the United States.

Executive Chef Jeremy Bringardner is at the helm of this fresh menu, which promises to be a true celebration of spring’s vibrant flavors. "Our new seasonal dishes are bright and packed with flavor," Bringardner shares. The menu includes exciting new items, each crafted to highlight fresh ingredients with diverse flavor profiles.

New Menu Highlights:
1. Smoky BBQ Brioche Sandwich: This dish features the rich and savory flavors of smoked pork burnt ends layered with a sweet and slightly smoky barbecue sauce. It's complemented by a colorful rainbow carrot-apple slaw, crunchy bread-and-butter pickles, and a drizzle of herb aioli, all served in a cornmeal brioche bun - an ideal choice for cozy lunchtime picnics.

2. Farmhouse Ranch Salad: A refreshing option for salad lovers, this dish is a delightful mix of vine-ripened cherry tomatoes, cucumber, creamy avocado, and Parmesan, accentuated with Tuscan krispies, fresh chives, romaine, and kale greens. Diners can choose to have it vegan or add chicken for an extra protein boost, catering to various dietary preferences.

3. Seasonal GOAT with Sweet Citrus: This salad embraces the classic elements of Mendocino Farms’ offerings but takes them to new heights. Featuring chicken, goat cheese, honey-roasted almonds, oranges, shaved fennel, pickled red onions, fresh mint, and a mix of romaine and kale greens, this dish is dressed in a farmhouse vinaigrette and topped with a drizzle of hot citrus honey, making it a gluten-free delight.

The spring menu is timed to coincide with the opening of Mendocino Farms' first location in Scottsdale, Arizona, showcasing the brand's continued growth. Alicia Mowder, the Chief Marketing Officer of Mendocino Farms, reflects on the season’s menu stating, "This spring menu pairs bright, citrusy notes with satisfying savory elements—perfect for our new Arizona community, as well as our loyal customers across all 90 cafés in California and beyond!"
