Stopped at Fresh Kitchen for a light dinner after a long shopping spree with a friend. Everything was excellent!Simple but excellent. They have great choices,even if you are on a very strict diet. It is gluten free! Lots of vegan options too! If you are on low carb this is the place to go. Paleo grab a bite too! Even if you are on the Keto diet you'll find great options. Reasonably priced.Lots of young and beautiful people! Best place for the health conscious to eat at UTC!!! I'll pick this over any other fancy restaurant at the area. read more

It was my first time trying it. Everything tasted fresh and good. The service was fast and friendly.

Great food but don't hope to eat the steak. It's as if they make one filet at a time and enjoy to have people waiting for it. I get that you want tot fresh but the kitchen should be more aware as it is a popular protein. And the best part? They can tell you that it's made upon request. It true. Otherwise, you would r have an empty bowl, sitting there. They prepare enough for three orders???? Really bad coordination read more

Horrible. starting with the staff that were there more to give each other hi fives and fool around while they absolutely ignored the customers. when you get to the register to pay for the crap tasting old food, there's this big huge guy who doesn't even look or acknowledge you. yeah I used to actually leave a tip but not today. How dare they even ask when there pathetic bowl of food for 2 costs almost 40 bucks. what happened to the tiny pieces of salmon that were on the menu? GONE along with everything else that gave me a reason to go in this place. read more

I love Fresh Kitchen! Huge fan of the one in Tampa and was happy to smell the familiar smells and see the same line up to fill my bowl with delicious healthy, fresh ingredients. Best of all, this location is huge and has so much parking! If you haven't been here before, it's basically a Chipotle-style restaurant where you order bases, meats, veggies, proteins, and toppings. Seafood, beef, extra toppings and dressings are an additional charge. My favorites are kale slaw, sweet potato noodles, mushrooms (favorite), broccoli, and tofu. I don't need the dressings, since everything is very flavorful, but I would get the coconut siracha or cucumber jalapeño. To top it all off, the meat is antibiotic and hormone free. I could eat here everyday. read more

Great and fresh food. I really enjoy the almond chicken, the spinach salad and the sweet potatoes.

All I can say is YUM! My friends and I recently visited Fresh Kitchen to fuel up after crushing a workout together. We were immediately greeted by an incredibly outgoing team of employees that gave excellent recommendations every step of the way. All of the ingredients are fresh and packed with flavor. I ordered a 4 bowl with thai chicken (try if you're looking for something a little spicy), clean green rice, parmesan broccoli, and kale slaw. On the side, I tried FK's coconut sriracha. This sauce will give an added kick to your dish! I can't wait to return! read more

Add a plus for the owner reaching out and being proactively responsive to their customers feedback. A+ in my book, shows they care about making customers happy. Keep up the good service. read more

Fresh Kitchen - Four Bowl - New American Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

This is the most amazing "Healthy Fast Food" I have ever had. To call it fast food is silly. Its slow cooked food made ahead of the dinner and lunch rush so they can serve hundreds of satisfied customers every day offering consistent, high quality food and a fair price! This restaurant stands alone with no competition honestly. They make the Hot Bar at whole foods look like a soup kitchen if that is clear enough! Fresh Kitchen for President! read more

Fresh Kitchen - Kale Salad, Cauliflower Mashed, Curry Garbanzo Beans, Sweet Potato Pasta, Salmon, BBQ Chicken, Guac, Almond Horchata! - New American Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

This food is crap nothing special at all Just your typical vegan friendly generic chipotle type of eating it's horse shit and shit food read more

For what this is, it rocks! This is the new concept of selecting various components to construct your own meal. You start by selecting your size bowl (no plates).First is the base (salads or glass noodles ). Then add your choices of vegetables. Then the proteins, and finally the sauces and any extras. My wife's "4 Bowl", $7.95, was very satisfying and filling for her. My "6 Bowl", $9.95, with the addition of tomatoes and feta cheese (+ $2.00) was also very satisfying and filling. Everything was very flavorful. Staff is eager to let you try items before making your selection. There's no alcohol served (but, if you ask the manager nicely. ...see my tip). We texted our friends who live nearby that they MUST check this new place out (opened day after Thanksgiving). In the words of General MacArthur & Governor Schwarzenegger "we will be back!" read more

Food is always delicious, they give you big portions. I got a 6-bowl and took half of it home. It gets busy so you'll have to wait in line but they move quick. read more

Fresh kitchen is the best quick healthy food available. Very consistent and always excellent. So thankful they put one in Sarasota. Now we need a Dirty Taco read more

Y'all! If they had one of these in Atlanta...I would be poor! I ate lunch here every day that I was in Sarasota--except the last day because we left before lunch time! This is the perfect quick service lunch or dinner place--and you don't feel bad about it because everything is healthy! You basically build your lunch--you get two bases on the 4 or 6 bowl. Some of your options are quinoa, spice rice, coconut rice, sweet potato noodles, kale salad, sweet potato mash, etc. I tried the spice rice, coconut rice, sweet potato noodle, and kale salad. All were good! My personal favorite was probably the coconut rice. Then, you pick your veggies. One for a four bowl and two for a six bowl ( or you could sub out veggies for a protein if you didn't want that). I tried all the veggies except mushrooms--not a fan! But the other veggies--so good! My favorite was the chimichurri cauliflower & parmesan broccoli. Eggplant was also very good. The only one I didn't prefer was the brussels--they seemed a little undercooked. Then--your protein! I always got tofu--SO good. Just the way I like it. Last, pick a sauce. Coconut Sriracha & the holy kale were my favorites. You can ask to try some if you like. The best part is that all the food is spiced really well--so it tastes fine without the sauce--but also tastes really good with it. Also, they make their own juices--they had samples out to try some--and they make their own tea and lemonade. I loved the cucumber ginger lemonade--very refreshing after a couple hours at the beach. Puh-lease open one of these in the Atlanta area! read more

Great concept We made a visit to Fresh Kitchen this evening. I had looked over the website and learned about selecting different types of food to go into a bowl. When we walked in it was probably obvious it was our first time. A cheerful person greeted us and was very willing to help us. My wife got a menu to look over and I learned where to start. Once we got to where the bowls are filled with food, we were greeted again by another upbeat person who helped us select our bowl size, our basees, vegetables, proteins, and sauce. When we were done we both had bowls of food, and even with our learning curve it was a quick process. For mine I chose bowl #6, which allowed me to select two base ingredients, I selected a spicy rice and a sweet potato mash. For my two veggies I went with roasted mushrooms and Brussel sprouts. For my two proteins I had their BBQ chicken and a citrus chicken. I also picked a white cream sauce that I used but didn't need to, because the stuff in my bowl was very good on its own. Every ingredient stood on its own and it all worked well together. They promote themselves as healthy, and if you can mix healthy and delicious together you really have something. Of our entire visit the only thing I didn't like was they didn't offer Coke or Pepsi products. I live for diet Code. They had a few serve yourself drink options, whatever I selected I didn't like. read more

Fresh Kitchen - #6 bowl - New American Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

First time eating here and it was so great with so many choices. Also I gluten free and the whole restaurant is gluten free so I was so happy to not have to be worried about gluten at all. Everything was fresh and seasoned to perfection. Also since this country is a little crazy with portion sizes as a whole I ordered the kids bowl and it was a generous serving of everything. Satisfied without feeling stuffed. read more

The food is an amazing gluten and dairy free choice! The atmosphere is fun and inviting. The service is QUICK! Love it here!!!!

Fresh Kitchen is my go-to place whenever I come out of LA Fitness or whenever I feel I need a super healthy meal. Three things I love about the place - first, it's fast. They run it cafeteria style and the folks behind the counter keep the line moving. I don't think I've ever waited more than five minutes to get my meal. Second, healthy and tasty choices; everything they serve is delicious and yet, good for you. Third, it's priced right. I save about 40% over a similar meal in a traditional sit down restaurant. Highly recommended! read more

I love this place and it tastes great but I ordered a bowl through Uber eats and this was a six bowl that cost $12.59 in store with double mushrooms and double chicken. I assumed they're just busy but I wanted to bring it to the attention of whoever as I was disappointed to see this. read more

Fresh Kitchen - This was my six bowl with double chicken and mushrooms. I'm not sure if I actually received double. - New American Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

The line may seem long but don't let it fool you - they are very efficient, and the food is delicious. We like to go here after gym workouts. It's healthier but tastes so delicious and packed with flavor. You are also full with the bowls. Great options to choose from - favorites are bbq chicken as protein, vegetables I do sweet potatoes and the noodles (they're zucchini I think - honestly forget, all I know they're so so good), avocado sauce. read more

I called during one of the busiest times of year it was December 31, 2023. The gentleman that answered the phone just so happened to be a manager. John said that they didn't have much more room to take on catering orders. He really took the time and talk to me on the phone and then I saw him when I went in and he sat down with me and helped me with a catering option. He made it happen. I was beyond impressed. You see I have dietary restrictions of gluten and dairy free perhaps. I am doing a special diet to see if it is those foods. Five star service read more

Super skimpy. Got a four bowl and my protein was almond chicken. 2 very small chicken strips. Was here a couple weeks ago and got the same bowl and it had 3 large chicken strips. Also the catering menu, family vs feast makes zero sense. read more

Always been a fan but lately they have gotten very skimpy with the proteins. I ordered steak (which costs extra) and got five little pieces. I'm a reasonable person when it comes to portion size, but this was a little insulting considering it's an extra charge. The portion size is usually more reasonable than this. Disappointed. read more

I like the concept of FK. Definitely a convenient spot for a quick lunch or dinner. The food itself just isn't that great. The options aren't very innovative and the food lacks any sort of flavor. I will also say that the last few times I went to FK, I got REALLY, really sick. It has to be the tofu because my sister never gets sick but I do and she doesn't get that item. read more

One of my favorite fast food places that sells healthy food. Service is good. Ambiance is cute and a little noisy when full but that's to be expected. read more

This is my favorite stop for a quick meal. I plan my schedule to make sure I am hungry to eat in Sarasota on the way to/from travels on 1-75. Fresh kitchen always has 8+ bases in hot or cold, 5+ veggies, 7+ proteins, and 5+ sauces. You can get the 6 bowl (2 bases, 2 proteins, 2 veggies, 1 sauce), four bowl (2 bases, 1 protein, 1 veggie, 1 sauce), or kid's bowl (1 base, 1 protein, 1 veggie, 1 sauce). The seasonal mash is always on the menu and is either mashed sweet potato or potato and cauli. Either choice seems to be hand mashed as their is typically large chunks of potato. Don't be fooled by the cauli mash. There isn't much cauli in the regular mash. Since the food is served from skillets, I've found that sometimes my protein and veggies can be dried out. This is typical so DO NOT be afraid to ask for a new serving is something is not up to standard. This time my broccoli and baked almond chicken were both hot and moist. The dessert selections are both awesome. The zucchini chocolate brownies are soft and chocolatey. The chocolate chips cookies are so yummy I've been looking for a copy cat recipe. Both desserts are DF, GF, soy free and vegan friendly. If you have to eat fast food, fresh kitchen is where you want to go! read more

This is one of our favorite restaurants as the food is so clean but so flavorful! Alejandro was so patient when we brought my 94 year grandma and showed her every option! you can't go wrong but my favorite is the coconut ginger rice with broccoli and bbq chicken. read more

The food here is kissed by whatever greater being you believe in. Each and every bite of this wonderful goodness is filled with taste and love. Highly recommend this to any and everyone!! Don't consume too far from a toilet as the only thing stronger than the flavor punch is the clean sweep this does on your system. Please enjoy. read more

Love this place . Great healthy food on the go . I love there selection of different options of veggies

Our food choice was wonderful. Ordered from the breakfast menu. Pleasant atmosphere. Had to ask for a drink refill

I go here every chance I get! The food is fresh, tasty, clean - and you can change it up every time! There are gluten free cookies if you're in the mood, and tasty beverages to go along with the good dishes like sweet potato noodles with Ahi Tuna. I've been really impressed by how quickly the line moves, and how the staff is always in a good mood. Been coming here for years - just wanted to say thanks! read more

The best fast food place in the utc area. The selection of fresh healthy choices makes it a guilt free experience. Gotta try their salmon.

This place is fantastic. Great quality food, and lots of vegan options to choose from. The line typically moves quickly as well! read more

Love this place! Quick, fresh food! The portions are fair for the price. Some proteins change seasonally. Try it!

Always fresh food and friendly staff! Favorite lunch spot! The sweet potatoes and brussel sprouts are good!

We love this place! Healthy, healthy, healthy selections that are specified as to diet needs (ie gluten free, etc). Every selection is tasty and not dry/overcooked. Mix and match your bowl ingredients Chipotle-style depending on how big of a bowl you want. I love their Cafe No Moo (dairy free cold coffee drink) for $5. Only comment to management is to have staff be a little more consistent on portions. Today for instance, even my 7 yr old noticed his kid's bowl had barely an inch of food off the bottom of the bowl after paying for our food. read more

Repeatable food and a reasonable price. Food does seem fresh but over salted. I would love to say you can eat here every day, but it's just a limited menu that you'd probably not want to return for awhile. read more

I've eaten here 3-4 times. Always tasty and fast despite being so busy. My favorite is the grilled steak with the kale sauce.
