I love this place, it's great for healthy options for lunch and it tastes really good. I will say the last 2 times I've gone there they've given me significantly less food and for $20 per bowl it just hard price to swallow. They barely put any grains in my bowl, only 2 sweet potatoes wedges, a little kale slaw then 3 small turkey meatballs was fine but still expensive. It barely filled up half the container. Compare to chipotle it's half the amount of food for $5 more. Service standard for a place like this and ambience is great for a quick lunch spot. I'll give 4 stars because the food and the options are great and they make changes seasonally which I love. Just the amount and the price is hard. read more

My favorite healthy lunch spot! I love that they have a rotating, seasonal menu. Everything always tastes fresh. On the pricy side for sure, but you are getting quality food! Sweet potatoes are incredible, as well as the roasted carrots! read more

FARE - Sides Craft Your Own Plate - New American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Avoid this place. It's gone seriously downhill and is no longer worth your time or money. Prices are high, but the food is poorly executed--I've had oily, separated mac and cheese and meatballs that were cold in the middle. Wait times are completely unreliable. Being told 15 minutes and waiting close to 50 is common, not rare. On top of that, they regularly forget items, and getting any kind of refund or resolution is a struggle. For a "fast-casual" spot, it's neither fast nor dependable. There are far better options out there--I won't be coming back. Provide your feedback on BizChat read more

Tried FARe for lunch and wasn't sure what to order, so I went with the smoky chicken plate. Overall, it was very healthy and still had decent flavor. The chicken and sweet potatoes were definitely the highlight. The mac and cheese was okay, not bad just nothing special. I'd probably give them another try to explore more of the menu. read more

Overall an okay plate but I wish less of their vegetables were raw. Especially the broccoli which was just so hard to eat. I'm not sure I would return but if I was in a pinch and needed something relatively healthy I would go for it! read more

I was pleasantly surprised by FARE. It's surprisingly filling and really satisfying. The portion sizes are great, and everything I've tried has been consistently flavorful. The mac and cheese and the sweet potatoes are standouts and a must for me every time. The salmon size the one time I got it could be a little bigger, but it was still good. but it was still good. Definitely a solid go-to when you want something filling and satisfying. read more

Honestly not the greatest first experience. I ordered create your own bowl with spinach and romaine as the base, elote and sweet and sour cucumbers as my sides, tofu as my protein, and added an additional side of green goddess slaw to the bowl. I chose pesto as my sauce and added an additional spicy red pepper sauce. Separately, I also ordered Mac and cheese and a side of guacamole. So what I got did not entail my original requested sauce(pestoi) or the Mac and cheese, which kind of was a big deal as I wanted to get the protein from the cheese. Big fail right there. It got worse as I saw the portions: the $4 tofu was so small, about 3 by 2 inches and the guacamole was in a tiny 2 ounce cup for over $3! The taste of the food was enh. The miso tofu tasted nothing like miso, the green goddess slaw did not taste like it had any green goddess dressing, and the sweet and sour cucumbers had no taste at all.I attempted to season it with the only sauce I had obtained, my secondary pick, and even then it wasn't the greatest. Perhaps if I had my ordered pesto it would have helped? I cannot say anything about the Mac and Cheese or pesto, BECAUSE I DID NOT RECEIVE THEM! I had high hopes, but left disappointed and still hungry. read more

FARE - What is not pictured is my missing pesto sauce, cornbread muffin, and expensive Mac and cheese. - New American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I genuinely love this place. I first discovered Faire when they catered one of my lunch-and-learn events in the loop, and shortly after, they opened a storefront in the Loop, which felt like a win seeing is that is where I spend 70% of my time. What I appreciate most is knowing exactly what I'm eating. Everything tastes fresh, clean, and thoughtfully prepared. It's like the healthier, more transparent version of Chipotle. Flavorful, but without questioning what's really going into those ingredients. And I love that you can indulge a little too. Their mac and cheese, muffins, small treats, surprisingly delicious ( I am a Mac & Cheese FEIN). The menu is consistently good across the board, especially for lunch. It's reliable, satisfying, and doesn't leave you feeling weighed down. A solid go-to when you want something both nourishing and delicious. read more

Really wanted to love this place! Went here for a work lunch with coworkers and did not have the best experience. The wrong meat was placed onto my bowl and then taken off and then put back in the bin for other people instead of being tossed out after I said something. The salmon in my bowl also had multiple bones in it which are shown in the photo. The ingredients were good and fresh, but don't think I'll be going back since it was rather small and over $20 for the bowl & experience. read more

A win for the corporate girlies. It's one of those spots where you can grab something nourishing without it feeling heavy or boring. I went for a customized bowl to get the nutrients that I need for a busy day ahead. The vibe inside is calm with wooden tones. read more

Amazing 11/10 spot for a healthy fast-casual lunch. I got the smoky chicken bowl and it did not disappoint. The ingredients are so fresh and perfectly prepared. The portion sizes are big enough for 2 meals too! Pro tip: if you download their app, you get $5 off your first order. I will definitely be back to try more bowls and their breakfast items! read more

FARE - Smoky Chicken bowl - New American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

New go to spot for a work lunch that is healthy, nourishing & anti inflammatory! Plus the portion sizes are great. My only wish would be if they could pretty please consider swapping to a cleaner mayo without seed oils and EDTAs - I'd order even more items if that was an option. Everything else on the menu though looks super clean (: read more

Pretty good for lunch, not great for breakfast. I get lunch from here maybe on average once a month when I'm at work, usually a bowl of some sort and the turkey meatballs are my favorite. Their gluten free cookies are AMAZING. However for breakfast: I decided to try breakfast last week and got the egg bowl- I'm almost positive they used POWDERED eggs. I took a bite and I was like "hmm... why am I suddenly transported to free hotel breakfast buffet?" It was extremely obvious. They call it "soft scrambled" on the website but it still has that rubbery reconstituted eggs taste... just wetter. Really weird corner to cut. If the budget doesn't allow for fresh eggs I'd just skip offering those breakfast items. read more

Great little spot to pick to coffee and breakfast. The egg sandwich with caramelized onions is delicious. Service is super fast. read more

FARE - Egg Sandwich - New American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

It's a fancy Chipotle, but more expensive for less food that doesn't taste as good. The employees aren't real friendly and won't explain the bowl system as far as what you can or can't put together. Very limited seating inside and no water cups or anything, so you're obviously being pushed back to your desk. Luckily there wasn't a line. Protein portions are quite small and sauces don't have good coverage so your meal is going to be dry and unsatisfactory. The mental boost from having superfoods or whatever isn't worth it. Skip. read more

NEED TO WORK ON QUALITY CONTROL. I love the food from Fare. Great flavor, and so many unique options. However, every time I order the build your own plate, I do not receive the corn muffin that is advertised to come with the meal. Some locations do include the muffin while others don't. If I am paying $20 for one meal, I should receive every part of the meal. Further, sometimes the sauce with the plate is on the side (as it should be) and sometimes it has been placed on the food. This is an issue with the plate specifically because I am not wanting the sauce on some of my sides (for example, I do not want ranch in my mac and cheese or cinnamon squash). Lastly, I tried the cinnamon squash with walnuts today and there are no walnuts in the mix. I am deeply disappointed with the quality control and the inconsistency will prevent me from returning in the future. read more

My third or fourth time here. I usually head over when I'm getting off my train. Women owned, small business coffee shop. I try to avoid the mermaid if I can and support local. Great breakfast menu, canned drinks, and coffee/teas. The avocado toast is amazing, and they have a scrambled egg bowl that I have yet to try. Cookies are phenomenal, and they sell artisan goods as well. read more

This place has gone downhill. When the two founders were running it, it was great. They've since expanded to too many locations it seems, as the quality is not there. Not only has the quality gone downhill, the prices have been jacked up and the portions smaller. They also frequently forget items you order, and you have to jump through hoops for a refund. Not to mention, their app will automatically charge a 20% tip and it's hidden so you probably won't notice. Skip the Mac n cheese unless you like separated sauce, amounting to Mac n Oil. read more

Could NOT have asked for a better lunch! WOW oh wow! Sure the photos I am sharing with this review look like dog vomit, but don't you dare judge a book by its cover because this food was PHENOMENAL! Clean, healthy and FLAVORFUL!!! It was just perfect and I am honestly SAD I don't have a location near where I live in Georgia! What I love aside from the taste (I'll dream about this place, I swear) is... That they are truly invested in using HEALTHFUL ingredients... No seed oils in sight! Thank you FARE FOOD for feeding me so well! read more

I ordered a custom bowl through doordash. I chose salmon as my protein. Their portion size for protein is tiny. I'm not sure my fish was even up to 4 oz. The kale, sweet potatoes and grains were SO BLAND. I added a star because the food tasted fresh. Overall, it was a disappointing lunch. read more

I normally love this place but today I got the scrambled egg bowl and it was really disappointing. The sweet potatoes and onions were all charred and there wasn't a lot of flavor. The red pepper sauce saved it read more

Great place for those with Celiac. Not only is their menu super accommodating, but their staff is very knowledgeable. They knew to change gloves and one worker even commented on how herniated has celiac. Anyone with this disease knows how isolating it can be, so to have any solidarity like the server sharing she knows someone with it, is awesome. Great service, great food! read more

Wooo I've been WAITING for this place to open.. pressing my face up against the window every time I go to work to see how the progress is going. I was excited to see that they were having their soft opening last week, and I was pumped to be waiting in line for my free bowl! The decor of this place is super cute: light, airy, natural and clean. The smells in here are fantastic... I was so excited to order when I finally got up to the counter. The idea of the bowls are similar to a chipotle style which I really like, I enjoy being able to see what ingredients and toppings I have to choose from. I went with a lemony kale base, with sweet and spicy cucumbers, chickpeas, chicken, and to top it off I got the tahini and pesto. Can I just say how fresh all these ingredients were?! The bowl was a little small, but still filled me up. Overall, this will definitely be a new weekly spot for me- convenient location, friendly workers, and great fresh food?! Can't ask for more :) read more

Fare is a must try lunch spot. Super wholesome, filling, and delicious food that won't leave you feeling tired and nasty. Ordered a bowl with their smoked chicken, sweet potato, Mac & cheese, and wild rice. Straight GAINZ! Will absolutely be ordering again to try more. Should have taken a pic but it was too tasty read more

we went in for coffee. horrible coffee. the lattes are pure milk. Starbucks is way better!

This is a review for Fare in Revival Food Hall. Stopped for lunch with a friend. I wasn't sure what kind of food I wanted to eat. I've never eaten at Fare so decided to give them a try. I'm so glad I did. I had the create your own bowl. I choose grains, beets, and roasted sweet potatoes. Tahini sauce was the topper. It was so very delicious! And inexpensive for downtown pricing. Place is clean, price is right, and there are more "bowl" options.I will definitely return. read more

Loved this meal. Yummy vegan options to add to your bowl (ask first, not everything is). The bowls were generous, none of that perfectly measured portion stuff. Very friendly servers. read more

I was in downtown Chicago and wanted a bite to eat and a place to sit down and work on my laptop. Fare fit the bill. Atmosphere-5 stars; Very trendy design aesthetic with coffee shop vibes and windows that make for great people watching among the hustle and bustle of Chicago. Great for meeting up with colleagues for an afternoon coffee or smoothie. Service- 5 stars; The staff were friendly and helpful with navigating the menu. They didn't bother me while I ate and camped out in the dining room with my laptop. Food quality- 4.5 stars; They have many healthful options and plant-based and dietary restriction-friendly options. I'm more of a foodie than a health nut, but I do appreciate what Fare has going on with their menu. The avocado toast was beautiful and the smoothie made me feel like I was doing something good for my health. As far as taste, the beet smoothie was unique. I probably wouldn't order it again but that's just because it isn't my thing. Value- 2.5 stars; You get what you pay for and at Fare, you pay for the location, wholesome ingredients, and modern space. It's not cheap but it seemed fair for downtown Chicago. Overall- I had a positive experience at Fare. I wouldn't say "OMG I need to go back", but I would come here if I was in the area. read more

I ordered soup, a broccoli side salad and a brownie for lunch. My online order was 20 minutes late. The soups flavor was good, but the sesame seeds added an interesting texture that I didn't love. The brownie was great! unfortunately the quality of the broccoli side salad was not good. It was supposed to have a tahini dressing, with grapes and almonds. There was zero dressing and zero almonds. The broccoli was mainly just stalks and i had one grape sliced in two. The reason I am still giving Fare 4 stars is because management was fast to follow up and refund me. They also committed to improving the quality of their broccoli salad and assured me that this was a bad day! It happens... I'm looking forward to giving Fare another try as I can tell they care about their customers and the food they are serving. read more

This is where the food you get is just as attractive looking as the pictures. The menu is dedicated to clean tasting food, there's ala carte options to build your own bowl (kale or steamed grains or mix in my case) with additional toppings. There's a nice warm modernity to the dining room and the staff are efficient. The app makes it so much more convenient to order and pay. read more

Egg breakfast sandwich with bacon was very meh. Honestly you'll get a better constructed sandwich at any mcdonalds for about a quarter the price. The english muffin really let the whole thing down - it needs to be crispy enough in the middle and edges to add some texture to the experience. The eggs also need to be cooked more to drive off moisture and avoid sogginess. Also not unique to this place but why does every pay station ask for a tip? It's overpriced as it is. read more

Quick service especially if you need to grab a quick bite and head back to work. Seating is limited so if you come during the peak of lunch time you might not get a seat. The menu is very simple and straightforward with a bunch of tasty and healthy items! I ordered the smoky chicken and it came with sweet potato, which I don't like, and the employee there gave me a good suggestion on what to substitute for it (he told me the roasted apple + cabbage would go well with the bowl and it did). Overall a very cute place to get a quick lunch! read more
