The food was good. Reminds me of an Asian chipotle. The line also moved fairly quick so I would recommend if you come here.
-
I used to come here religiously, but finding hair in my food on two separate occasions and then seeing the menu change with the removal of the blackened chicken…that’s one way to keep me from coming back.

I had a great experience at Fresh Kitchen thanks to Cam and Payton! They were both incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive. They took the time to help me, made sure everything was perfect, and checked on me throughout my visit. It’s always refreshing to receive such genuine customer service. Their positive attitudes really made my day, and I’ll definitely be coming back. Thank you, Cam and Payton, for going above and beyond!

I’ve generally had a great experience at Fresh Kitchen. The staff is friendly, the food is consistently good, the restaurant is clean, and the atmosphere is welcoming. Overall, it’s a place I enjoy visiting. The reason I’m giving 3 stars instead of 5 is because I observed a front-of-house employee wearing black nitrile gloves repeatedly touching her hair and then continuing to serve customers without changing her gloves. Food safety and hygiene are very important, and seeing this was concerning. Aside from that issue, my experiences have been positive. I hope management addresses this with staff so that the excellent quality of the food and service is matched by consistent food-handling practices.
