    Shrimp and broccoli
    Matt S.

    Talk about a true neighborhood spot; this place is the definition of it. The food is really delicious, the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the whole atmosphere feels warm and inviting. My only critique is that the appetizer selection is a bit limited, but the huge variety of main dishes more than makes up for it. I had the gumbo over rice, which was fantastic, and my wife ordered the shrimp, which was also amazing. I love this place and will definitely be back. Very homey, very friendly, and exactly the kind of spot you want in your neighborhood.

    This place is now the weekly date night or "what should we do for dinner?" spot. Service is amazing and the food is just amazing.

    Chicken picatta
    Charlotte W.

    Went for dinner on a Sunday night. They weren't super busy inside but were doing a TON of takeout orders. They have pretty big menu. I decided on the chicken picatta and my husband got the Alfredo with blackened chicken. The service was pretty quick and friendly. The food came out hot and in a reasonable time. Mine was really good and flavorful with two pounded chicken breasts and a large serving of pasta! Plenty of leftovers. My husband's Alfredo was very soupy, he mentioned it to the manager and they offered to remake it. I think they got busy in the kitchen and left something out of the sauce. We will definitely be back and try something else on the big menu! Prices are very reasonable!

    Late lunch on a Sunday with my family. Came here by suggestion of my sister and we were not disappointed. I love that the menu is ecclectic enough that there's something for everyone but no so large that it's overwhelming. Our server, Kenzie, was wonderful. She was professional, helpful, prompt and super kind. She even helped us move to another table to accommodate an additional person to our party. We've already decided that when we go out to eat after church, no more searching all over, we're coming straight to Fresh Chef. Everything we had was delicious, although my sister didn't like the dressing on the kale salad. I ordered mine on the side, thought it had kick but it was good. Parking is great, location is in a plaza. Tip: if you pay cash you save a few dollars Check them out!

    Shrimp and grits

    I ordered lunch here via Uber Eats. The food definitely was a positive distraction from a stressful work day. I ordered shrimp and grits & brussels sprouts. The food was hot upon delivery. There was a little spillage of sauce with the brussels sprouts, but it may have been caused by the driver versus the restaurant. I had some food leftover. Will definitely visit when I'm in the area.

    Had a very busy weekend! I'll try to do the food justice. Today we celebrated a friend's birthday at Fresh Chef on Lawyer's Road in - I believe Matthews - on the border of Matthews and Indian Trail. Excellent food, cannot complain! Service was pretty good, of course always appreciate the Manager at that location - Frankie, she's wonderful! Frankie always takes care of us and I appreciate that so much! We had a variety of different dishes, both breakfast and lunch. The breakfast foods were good, the crab cake good, salmon? Was excellent! If you're looking for good quality home-cooked food this is a great place to be. Very happy with them. I can't speak to any other location? But I can speak to this one and Frankie always delivers!! She knew we were from St. Luke's church, a really great experience not ever had an issue!

    A Mother's Day treat! We had reservations and were able to change them to an earlier time without any problem. Started with tuna appetizer, enjoyed shrimp and grits, salmon, and a shrimp salad. All the food was fresh and delicious. Service was great. Craft beers was cold. The space itself is in a strip mall, but inside clean, modern and lots of light and roomy--not crowded. I would highly recommend for Mother's Day or any day!

    Is there a kids eat free day?

    Not that I know of. It's a little more upscale than that.

    My first time at this location, I went for their special supper club series. It started out a lil…read morerocky first couple seconds....So they were closed for regular biz and I was the first to walk in, and the lady behind the bar was quick to tell me they are closed for a private event instead of asking if I was there for it. I told him here for the event, and the owner or manager corrected her quickly saying she needs to ask people if they are here for the dinner as opposed to assuming they aren't and trying to turn them away. After that lil incident, everything was perfect. My waitress was amazing although I didn't catch her name. She was so sweet. And the food! OMG! So so good! The portions were just perfect, and the flavors were outstanding. I added the wine pairing and glad I did. All the wines were great. I'd definitely go back here.

    Looking for a casual ambiance? Support this locally owned restaurant and head here for a Carolina…read moredriven draft list. Seeing Panzu Shameless on tap was a huge win! Pedro provided 5-star service, crafting a delicious Bourbon Berry Smash while I waited for my to-go order. After a twenty-minute drive I took a bite into this delicious crispy fried chicken sandwich with fries, as well as soup trio flight - the ultimate comfort food for a late-nights. Pro-Tip: They are flexible with the menu; I requested the Roasted apple Grain Bowl without the quinoa. I'm already planning a return trip to dine in.

    We were looking for someplace that did low boils - and we found a place!! Shake Shake seafood does…read morelow boils for everyone individually making sure that everyone gets what they want! The seafood was cooked to perfection and was delivered promptly. Three things I would recommend to improve on: paper towels instead of napkins; make the fried calamari starter a larger portion; and make sure people eating crabs have the necessary tools when the meal is served. Overall this place was pretty awesome for an in-land seafood restaurant. Better than most at the seashore!! Highly recommend trying Shake Shake Seafood in Monroe. I know we will be!!

    If I could give this restaurant zero stars, I would, but unfortunately, the lowest option is one…read more I came in on Saturday and ordered a lobster combo to go. When I got home, I noticed there was a foreign object in my food that absolutely should not have been there. I wasn't able to call Saturday because it was too late, and I had to work all day Sunday. I called Monday to report the issue and give the restaurant an opportunity to address it. I spoke with the general manager, Tan, and his response was extremely disappointing. He was very defensive, aggressive, and downright rude. Instead of listening to my concern, he questioned me by saying, "Why are you just now calling me?" and "Why are you calling me out of the blue?" The fact remains that regardless of when I called, there was a foreign object in my food that should not have been there. The timing of my call does not change what happened or make the issue any less concerning. I called when I was able to, and I should have been able to report my experience without being treated disrespectfully. I was calmly explaining what happened, yet he repeatedly told me to "calm down," as if I were the one being aggressive or unreasonable. I was not calling to argue or cause a problem. I was simply trying to make the restaurant aware of a serious issue with my order. What made the situation even worse was the attitude I received from management. Rather than taking the complaint seriously and addressing the food-safety concern, I felt like I was being treated as though I had done something wrong by calling. I did not ask for the foreign object or the additional ingredient that was found in my food, and it should not have been there in the first place. After this experience, I will not be spending my money at this restaurant again. I am also considering contacting the local health department regarding what I found in my food because this is a concern that should be taken seriously. Customers should be able to report legitimate concerns without being met with defensiveness, aggression, or disrespect. The facts remain the same regardless of when I called: there was something in my food that should not have been there, and the way management handled my complaint was completely unacceptable.
