    2024 Sept 14, 16:43; Statesville NC Parking - 3 limited parking Location - 4 along hwy 21 Decor/Ambiance - 4 very comfortable Customer Service - Pricing - 3 average for the area Food Flavor - 4 well seasoned and ample flavor Presentation - 4 very well plated Product Variety - 4 very good selection Restrooms - 4 clean and stocked Cleanliness- 4 very clean and tables cleared quickly Seating- 4 ample space for the number of customers Time To Order - 3 minutes Time To Food Arrival - 8 minutes This is a revisit to check and see if they are holding to the same standards I encountered last time. Of the many places to revisit this one has proven to be consistently good. Fresh Chef is one of 4 of my "go to"s when i visit Statesville NC. Whereas i am in the Statesville area frequently, i like having a list of great places for food flavors.

    We ate here today after church. The service was good. My salad came before my meal as requested. The staff checked on us several times to see if we needed anything. Learned they are changing their name and menu. The music was a bit loud. The food was good.

    Excellent wine

    I am rating Fresh Chef an OK or 3/5 stars because of the outstanding wine we enjoyed on our visit. It was a Thursday evening and bottles are 1/2 off. It was a fabulous bottle for $32.50! The wait staff were excellent, knowledgeable, and attentive. Dinner, however, left a lot to be desired. I often visit the Denver, NC location and the food is always excellent and well prepared. Tonight, I ordered the shrimp entree with broccoli and cilantro rice. The broccoli and rice were pretty good. The shrimp was overcooked and I did not enjoy it. My dinner guest ate less than half of her food, the Chicken Picata. I was pretty disappointed with the food preparation. I will continue to visit the Denver location and may perhaps try the Cornelius location one day soon.

    Black & Bleu Salad

    Visited this location for a work lunch and was so pleasantly surprised. I've been to quite a few other Fresh Chefs around the area, but this one might be a favorite. Our servers were so attentive and kind, it really made a difference in our experience. We had a rather large party, about 20 people, and we were served with efficiency and kindness. It was impressive. I ordered the Black and Bleu Salad with steak. The tenderloin was cooked perfectly and was really flavorful. The portions are huge, too! If you are looking for a great lunch spot, this is your place. There is something for everyone, and if you love salads, there is no better restaurant for you.

    My husband and I had some errands to run in Statesville and decided to have lunch at Fresh Chef. After reviewing several restaurants in the area, we chose Fresh Chef because the online menu seemed to have some healthier options. The restaurant was cute, clean and had lots of seating available. The hostess was friendly and sat us within a few minutes after our arrival. Our server was Junior and he was great. Very professional and attentive. We stared out with the ahi tuna app. The wasabi sauce seemed a little odd- the color and texture was different. A little creamer than I'm used to. The tuna was good. We were both hoping for wraps based on what we saw online, but the menu didn't include any. I ordered the mahi tacos I saw on the special board and then we asked the server if they had wraps. He advised they do have them, just not on the menus they gave us. My husband ordered the Hawaiian chicken wrap based on his memory from our research. We both ordered side salads with the dressing that seems to come with it, and it was good. The special board didn't give a description of the tacos-I just took a chance on what would be on them. Server didn't offer info and I didn't ask. The tacos were good. Not a lot of texture, flour tortilla overpowered ingredients. My husband wasn't impressed with his wrap. Because it wasn't on the menu and, again, we didn't ask what was on it, he didn't love the ingredients. He said the honey mustard didn't "go" with everything else. But he did say without it, or some sort of sauce, it would have been very dry. Only giving 4 stars because I didn't LOVE my food. It was fresh, it was good, but it wasn't something that will leave me craving what we had. However, I would give it another shot and try something else. I saw other patrons order something that looked like spinach dip with tortilla chips that looked excellent . Fresh Chef also has great drink specials. Believe it or not, we passed on the $5 Bloody Marys, only because we had such a large meal the night before.

    Chicken Marsala
    Britany M.

    We were able to walk in and be seated with no wait. This was around 7:35pm on a Monday. The waitress is attentive and kind. I ordered the Chicken Marsala. My husband ordered half a chicken with mashed potatoes and carrots. The chicken Marsala kind of tasted like it was brown gravy on chicken with mushrooms. My husband said that his meal flavors were kind of bland. Overall, anything to write home about .. not really. Would I give it another try? Yeah I'd give it another go at something different. More to follow on the Peach Cobbler -- also not much to write home about. Ice cream was super cold and hard, cobbler could have been a bit hotter. Overall, the service was absolutely fantastic. But, the food needs a little .. umph.

    First time to eat here. Very clean and super friendly staff. The food was fresh and delicious and the portions were very generous. The layout is open and spacious and it's not noisy so you can enjoy good conversation while eating. Really enjoyed lunch bere.

    Cute place with eclectic menu! I love a good mushroom so went for the mushroom sammy akin to a…read moreFrench dip but shrooms instead. It underwhelmed me - more cheese than shrooms and the "au jus" was basically mushroom soup lol not what I expected. The Lima beans were great though! The hubby enjoyed his burger and steak fries very much. It offers inside and patio seating. The parking lot was tiny and awkward but that seems to be the theme of the day in this lil town. Our waiter was great - checking on us often!

    Social on Main is my husband's and my favorite place for breakfast while visiting Blowing Rock…read more They are even better than our now-closed old favorite, Sunny Rock Eggs & Things. On this last trip, we went twice. I got the Beth Ann Clark both times. I just love their cheesy scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, fruit, and french toast. My husband tried two different entrees this time--the Butch Triplett (corned beef and eggs) and their breakfast burrito. Their corned beef is likely from a can, but it's so good because they cook it so it's very crispy. I always steal some of his corned beef to add to my eggs! Their breakfast burrito is amazing. It's simply filled, with just scrambled eggs, cheese, small bits of ham, and hash browns. It's topped with an enchilada sauce that is similar to a ranchero sauce, and is served with sour cream and guacamole. It's a massive burrito, and SO GOOD! My husband said it's his new favorite. Social on Main is popular, and so we always go early (before 8am). After 8am, there is usually a wait--especially on Saturdays. Their servers are always friendly, and the food is delivered fast. Their coffee is nice and strong, too. I wish we had a Social on Main near our house, because we'd visit them weekly. Give them a try if you are in Blowing Rock for a visit and want a great breakfast!
