We both had the Avocado Crunch. It was a symphony of flavors! Delicious! I would order the same thing. read more

Forage Kitchen - Avocado Crunch - Salad Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

During a work trip, my coworker and I ended up stopping by here twice! They're pretty open to adjusting any of the menu items if you have a dietary restrictions/preferences. Their staff were great and accommodating. There isn't much parking around and there can be a small line in the store (that moves fairly quickly)! [[HIGHLIGHT]]A couple small tables line the front of the building for outdoor seating and they have a couple tables indoor as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Both times I got the tuna poke bowl and bone broth. The tuna poke bowl seems like frozen tuna blocks (expected) with grains and pickled veggies. It was pretty light and refreshing. The bone broth was a good sip on the side! I would recommend getting it in a to go container, since it seemed to stay warmer in that compared to the bowl. I also tried their kombucha which had a stronger aftertaste of beer than what I'm used to (probably wouldn't get again). Overall, compared to other tuna I've had in the past, nothing stands out significantly but it's a great healthy dining option that's walking distance from Memorial Union! read more

Forage Kitchen - Tuna Poke Bowl, Chicken Bone Broth - Salad Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

The bowls are very good. The portions are pretty big. You would not want more. The ingredients are very fresh and flavorful individually but combining them that's what made the bowls. read more

Absolutely horrid experience the workers rushed while I saw making my salad they didn't put enough lettuce then put to much I asked for onions but they gave me radishes instead I was so rushed I didn't even get a chance to get half my toppings. The croutons tasted awful burnt and flavorless lettuce frozen. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's all "hip" woman and very bad music here in all this restaurant should get a big 0.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Worth repeat visits. Came twice while staying in the area. Fresh ingredients. Nice healthy options. They can run out of items in the evening but will offer to substitute. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Comfortable seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Friendly service. Smiling and happy to help. Wish I lived nearby. read more

I love forage but the last few times they have forgotten 2 or more ingredients on their expensive salads without accommodating.

Visited Forage kitchen (state street location) for the first time for a quick Sunday lunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The venue was spacious and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Had been to the location at Hilldale before, but this was my first time trying their grain bowls. After getting the Cashew bowl with roasted chicken, I have to say I am a fan of what forage kitchen is doing! The bowl was ~$15 ($11 for the cashew + $3.50 for the chicken) which was comparable to price with crisp & green and sweet green. First impression was that the bowl was filled to the brim! I dined in and the portion size was huge, worth it in my opinion for the price (not sure if they load up to-gos the same). The salad had nice seasoning, was filled with fresh greens, and overall satisfied my healthy craving. read more

Come hungry and leave fully satisfied with a healthy and delicious meal. The concept is like chipotle and sweet green. The Green Mole with chicken was fresh and bursting with flavor. It's a big portion but you don't feel heavy afterwards or you can save some for later. The place is clean and has ample seating across the right wall, and upper front corner of the entrance where you get nice sunlight. We were quickly greeted and helped as soon as we got to the counter. The staff was able to answer questions about what ingredients are what can can't be substituted etc. If they were closer they would take all my lunch money! read more

It's a cold windy day. You're starving. You take your Ugg-clad feet and shuffle down State Street in your cropped puffy jacket and Lululemon flare pants. Where are you headed? Forage Kitchen! There's no better place for a quick healthy meal than Forage for a cold day. No hate on the college 'srat fit! But you will probably have to wait with a horde of young college students while in line. But it's worth it cuz no doubt you'll get two meals out of a bowl here! I always get the Thai Bowl with roasted tempeh, which is around 15-16 dollars. The soup is always so creamy and rich. There's some nice acidity in the veg and rice and the tempeh rounds it out with a bit of sweetness. Forage is also killing the game with their local produce. Honestly if you can beat the horde of students headed here during rush meal hours. It's so dang worth it. The line goes quickly too! read more

Forage Kitchen - Power Bowl with half romaine - Salad Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

I am a consistent forage customer, so trust me when I say I know ball, but when it comes to bowl girth t's hard to enjoy it when all I get a total of 3 bites in my entire bowl. The location on State street always chiefs me out of the $13-15 I spend per meal by only filling my bowl up halfway. Ive never wanted to dine and dash so badly. read more

The food is very good, be prepared for a lot of flavor! Servers are very kind and accommodating when it comes to allergies. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is fresh and bright![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend! read more

Power Bowl was delicious! We added chicken to ours; however, we were disappointed to find that it was not all chicken breast or was not the best quality. We should have questioned that when ordering. read more

It's been years since I last went to Forage Kitchen and I'm glad I came back! I got the Batatas salad bowl at their downtown location. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I prefer the Hilldale location, as it is larger and more sunlit, but this location was still very welcoming and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The employees were kind and accommodating to my requests to customize the bowl a little. They definitely loaded up my bowl, but there was disparity as another customer asked me what I ordered because he was disappointed with how small his bowl was. The free sourdough is a nice touch. I do wish there were croutons or some crunch to top off my salad but the sourdough definitely helped replace that. The salad seemed fresh and was tasty. I was extremely full after (in a good way). I added chicken to my salad, but next time I probably won't be doing that as it is not necessary! I will definitely be ordering salads from here again. read more

Forage is a health, fresh, fast GEM. Absolutely love this place...there's a whole range of deliciousness available. love the fiesta bowl, the Thai bowl, you name it. So yummy. read more

As someone who has to cater lunches for work events in cities I am unfamiliar with, I wish every experience was as amazing as working with Forage Kitchen was! Darlene was kind, gracious, and helpful in getting the order rolling. The day-of, the location that was preparing the food lost their A/C, but they made the food and communicated with us so we could coordinate an early delivery. Then the food itself - delicious! Everyone thought it was amazing, and the ability for everyone to make their own customized bowl was well-received. I wish Forage Kitchen was all across the U.S. because it would be my to-go every time I needed to cater. Kudos! read more

Good food but wish it was offered at least warm. Would prefer piping hot! And where's the hot water and tea?

I've tried the power bowl and I've built my own bowl. I was equally impressed every time I've ordered. The service was friendly and speedy. The restaurant is clean. The food is sooo delicious! Visit weekly! read more

Wow, I just had one of the best Cobb salads of my life at forage. It was huge, full of flavor. I was a little concerned when I saw that the chicken was shredded...it's just not what I'm used to with a Cobb salad but it was incredibly delicious. My daughter had the chicken Caesar and loved it too. She always talked about forage during her freshman year at UW and now I understand why! Service was great (they make your salad in front of you while you stand at the counter) and the ambiance was good- we sat outside on state street people watching on a gorgeous summer day. I will definitely be back! read more

Food was kind of pricey but it tasted amazing. There is outdoor seating but they close up at 8 pm just an FYI in case anyone wanted to eat outside read more

I wish I had Forage Kitchen near my apartment, because quite often I find myself in the mood for one of their grain bowls and nowhere to go to get one just like it. Over the course of a few visits, I tried both their fiesta bowl and their power bowl, and the power bowl would be something I would get on a regular basis if I lived in the area. I didn't have a chance to try the Thai bowl but that one also sounded great. The power bowl contained black rice, lentils, roasted sweet potatoes, poblano slaw, green onions, guacamole, jerk chicken, and a green goddess dressing. The dressing was delicious, and it was overall just a well-composed bowl of healthy ingredients. It was also very satisfying and filling with tons of flavor. The bowls at Forage Kitchen are on the more expensive side, but the portion size is fairly generous (I had leftovers) and you're paying for high quality, fresh ingredients. I especially liked that all their dressings were dairy-free. Great healthy option near campus and downtown! read more

The Thai bowl with tofu is the way to go. The black rice is a lovely, chewy alternative to the typical white or brown rice. I got mine with extra broccoli, because duh. The portions are huge so you'll probably get two meals out of it. read more

Great option if looking for a healthier meal that still tastes great with good portion sizes. Got the power bowl which was very good, only downside was I would've wanted more sweet potatoes (because they were really good) read more

This is a favorite stop of mine anytime I'm in Madison! I'm usually flying in and out of Forage to get lunch before heading to a meeting, so I appreciate how fast this place is. More importantly though, it's so healthy and the food is so flavorful that you don't wish you were eating something else! I am a huge fan of the grain bowls here, and my top favorite is the Thai Bowl, featuring Thai red curry sauce, forbidden black rice, roasted sweet potatoes, daikon, cucumber, cilantro, Thai basil, and lemon herb chicken. It's one of the best lunches I've ever had, actually, and I keep ordering it every time. The Fiesta Bowl is great as well, but still doesn't beat the Thai Bowl. Forage is a beautiful, clean space and is a perfect spot to unwind for a little bit during a busy work day. I'll definitely be back! read more

This is some of the best food I have ever had. I live in northern Wisconsin where food like this has yet to make an appearance. My food from the Forage Kitchen has been fresh and delicious, especially the lentil meatballs! Please open one of these up in Door County, where we desperately need good food. read more

The food is honestly good, but besides that, the location has been getting worse. They've been giving less food in their portions (as if it isn't expensive to begin with) and the quality of service just isn't that great anymore. read more

I really thought that Forage was going to be an overrated and healthier version of your typical fast casual, but I was pleasantly surprised! The food tasted so fresh and high quality. I loved all of their topping options. I built my own with spring mix, sweet potato, rosemary lentils, pickled red onions, roasted chicken, and maple balsamic dressing. The bowl was PERFECT. I want to try more of the options, but I enjoyed this one so much I want it again. I ordered online, and my order was ready and fresh when I got there. I will definitely be ordering from any location that Forage has in the future after my great experience here. read more

As good as the food is here, I think it's overrated (and overpriced). It is a great option if you need a quick meal but want to stay healthy, but know that you could totally make these bowls yourself at home. Make sure you bring a jacket, the restaurant is always freezing inside. read more

I come here every time I come to Madison. It's a healthy, quick go-to option and I've loved all the bowls I've tried including the power bowl (my favorite, Thai curry and Thai cashew.

Tried this place when I wanted something a little healthier than my usual takeout and it was so good! I got the Mediterrranean bowl and really enjoyed the flavors. Didn't feel like I needed to add anything to it. I also tried their green juice and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Definitely doesn't have a weird aftertaste like a lot of other green juices. read more

Really filling and yummy! I decided on the Thai grain bowl because I felt like a salad wouldn't fill me up. I struggled to finish it because the portion was so big! They didn't have fresh like wedges, but offered to drizzle some lime juice over for me, and it tasted great. The Thai Bowl is sweet and tart, which is all I ever want in my food. There was a perfect amount of curry to mix with the rice and sweet potato, and the CHICKEN. The chicken was so amazing. I was worried I would have to wait for a table to sit at given the long line, but most people ended up ordering to go and I got my table and enjoy how calm it was inside. They were playing Korean R&B while I was there and I really enjoyed it. I'm a creature of habit and will probably be getting the Thai Bowl every day this week, but the Power Bowl sounds really tempting. read more

Excellent salad and bowl options. Loved the customization detailed options with online ordering. Tasty!

Yum! I have loved everything I have tried from Forage Kitchen. Their bowls are loaded up (I've made each of mine into 2 meals) and have such amazing variety to suit any taste. Delivery is quick and easy and I love getting a "healthier" option than most takeout. read more

Forage is my go to when I'm hungry and want to eat super healthy food. Thai bowl is my favorite.

Honestly I am so disappointed with this place.. there was a bug in my Caesar salad and I kept digging to find a hair. Service wasn't very cheerful either. Paid $12 for a salad that I couldn't even eat. read more

First off I must apologize to any staff who may have seen me slightly off - I just came here after some drinks with my family and was very out of it. My ability to read and hear were very impaired but I'm grateful the staff was very patient and polite with me. I was recommended this place by my in-laws since I've got celiac disease and I can tell the staff takes pride in their works and they are very dedicated to limiting cross contamination. I had myself the Power Bowl with lentil meatballs and it was tasty! Just the right blend of seasoning and spices to give it a kick but not leave me begging for cold water. Great sauce drizzled in the main dish. Came in hungry and left with a full stomach. Thank you so much to the amazing g crew for such a great experience. read more
