Imagine your soup falling through the bottom of your paper bag. The best outcome is you catch the soup and nothing is lost. You could end up with soup on you and saving some soup to eat. The worst outcome is the soup is compleyely lost as it splashes all over you and hits the ground. I got lucky and only a small amount of soup got on me and the rest wasn't lost. Lucky in one sense and not another. The soup container had a cracked lip, the lid was pressed on it poorly and together these caused soup to leak from the container and weaken the paper bag. Freshii could use plastic bags and avoid this. The staff could also not used a cracked container and probably have avoided this. I wasn't happy scrambling to catch soup as it broke through the bag. I was angry when I had time to examine the container and figure out what exactly had happened. I have pictures and will upload them. As for the food, it was alright. Not good, but barely ok. I really wanted soup so I got soup. I can only advise you there are better soup places for the same price or less. More service problems: you can try and call in an order but I am yet to have anyone answer. The app for iOS doesn't work like it should. I would only ever consider eating here if it is convenient and you double check your containers before leaving. read more

I was a bit apprehensive getting lunch here because of the reviews. However, I popped I to look at the menu and on my way way I asked a customer what she thought of the food. Her comments were more positive. She said she gets lunch here often, the food is pricey but fresh & its was her go to spot. I decided to order the fiesta bowl with falafel and I was thoroughly satisfied. The service was great, food delish & the falafel was baked not fried. Everything on their me u can be customized & for a vegetarian/vegan there are plenty of options. I will definitely be coming back because my experience was very good. read more

Freshii - Fiesta bowl with falafel - Salad Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I'm glad there's a Freshii in the Overstreet Mall Uptown. It provides a quick place to get breakfast or lunch for those that work/visit. Since I walk here from my building, I wouldn't have any clue where to park (if you were driving)... probably the BB&T parking deck will get your the closest, but I'm not sure what their rates are. Freshii is located at the far end of the Overstreet Mall in the last nook, there's a small counter where you order at and some tables to sit and enjoy your salad or various items on their menu. For breakfast they do some breakfast pockets and a couple of burritos. You can also do your juicing here... I have never partaken, but I always love to watch the staff throw a bunch of vegetables into the juicer and hand it to the customer. Overall their ingredients are fresh and I like the convenience. There tends to be a "mad rush" during lunch, but I catch them on the off hours so that I don't have to wait too long. They are super fast anyway! read more

Ive eaten here twice now and gotten takeout bowls. Today was the Pangoa bowl; spicy barbecue sauce, lime wedge, avocado, warm brown rice, corn, tomato, cheese, cilantro and black beans. Hits the spot! You can add protein but I didn't today. With tax it costs 8.57 and weighs about 4 lbs. Good and healthy is what I got and that's exactly what I wanted. They feature a special bowl that changes but not sure how often. They also have soup, wraps fresh squeezed juice and smoothies. read more

Freshii - Pangoa bowl; spicy barbecue sauce, lime wedge, avocado, warm brown rice, corn, tomato, cheese and black beans. - Salad Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Definitely my favorite place for lunch uptown. I'm somewhat picky about vegetables, so I love how the menu is totally customizable...just grab a pencil and clipboard in the middle section. I always get a custom brown rice bowl with chicken, black beans, chick peas, edamame, corn, and carrots (or beets). Everything looks, and more importantly, tastes super fresh. The employees are really friendly and also accommodating (I always ask for extra sriracha). Don't be intimidated by a long line, as they work incredibly efficiently and fly through orders. The prices have gone up a little since it opened, but they really stuff the bowl to the brim, so it's still a good deal. And although the proteins and many of the fruits/veggies cost extra, there remain plenty of basic ingredients to choose from. Freshii is a great option if you're looking for a healthy lunch at a reasonable price. read more

Convenient for a quick lunch. Tastes fresh. Like any other chain location though. Very much like food court style dining. Seating for about 12-20 depending on each "party." To be honest, felt a little bit like eating at an airport vendor but better? If that makes sense. Because of the size, convenience, prices, etc. Very much like all surrounding vendors though (strip of just food options). Remember: food adventures are out there. So eat 'em up! read more

I finally tried freshii today and I will definitely be back!! This is a great lunch spot especially if you're looking for some healthier options. I got the Mediterranean bowl with Chicken (quinoa, spinach, olives, cucumber, marinated peppers, feta). I also requested a side of siracha. Omg it was amazing! I only ate half of the bowl and I was full. It had lots of flavor and was very refreshing. The bowl is typically $7.95, but if you want a protein it's extra. My total was $10 and it was so worth it!! read more

This place is great! Fast lines and friendly service. I've visited twice now and had a pangoa bowl w shrimp and a Asian veggie soup also with shrimp. The only difference a size to the soup easier was expecting something more pho-like by the description. It was good and I think the veggies could've been cooked a bit longer, I was just expecting a traditional broth and it was more on the mild american chicken broth. my friend regularly (and by regular i mean almost every other day!) gets the Thai lemongrass burrito with tofu. Reasonably priced, fresh and fast. read more

Freshii - Fiesta salad with chicken - Salad Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Update: Against my better judgment, finally went back to Freshii after my previous 2-star review. Yikes. I ordered the Tex-Mex bowl, with chicken. Total price was $11.19, which would be overpriced even if the end-product was well-executed. After paying, I was informed they no longer had "salsa fresca." They asked what else I wanted on it--of course, there was no mention of options (nor an offer to refund my money). I didn't add anything else--I didn't really know what I could add. What came out was a lukewarm bowl of rice (filled 1/3 of the way to the top), a few kernels of corn and some lukewarm black beans. There was maybe 1/2 a tablespoon of Greek yogurt for "flavor." What resulted was the saddest, blandest meal I've paid for in 2019. This place is definitely going out of business soon--running out of ingredients, skimping on portions, and very few people in line. No matter what replaces it, Charlotte's lunch options will be much improved (even if the replacement is, say, a shoe repair store). read more

Great concept. Good execution. Food was 4 star. Service was 2 star. I got the sense they are still learning how to efficiently operate - which I think contributes to the bad reviews. I'm giving 4 stars in hopes the process smooths out. I had the wrangler bowl with chicken. That's brown rice, corn, black beans, tomatoes, cabbage...it was awesome. Value is great. Quality was great. Good portion. Good flavor. read more

Good place to grab a healthy lunch. Lots of veggie options and you can customize whatever you order. The menu has salads, wraps, rice bowls, noodle bowls, and soups. I always have to include sriracha to add some flavor and, fortunately, they have bottles on the tables because I can never have too much sriracha. read more

I was shocked to see how many bad reviews there are on here. Freshii is by far my favorite fast food place, for the food is conveniently fast, very healthy, good quality, and extremely delicious!! I used to go here about 4 times a week before I moved out of Charlotte, and I really miss having it near me!! read more

After passing this place multiple times a day every day, finally swung in for lunch! I came around 1 and there wasn't a line at all. However, around 12, there is usually a line out the door. Ordered the Pangoa bowl. It was a nice size portion with brown rice, corn, black beans, tomatoes, cheese, avocado and a spicy bbq sauce on it. Super filling and very delicious! That sauce was very spicy though....may switch up the sauce to something different next time. The lunch was quickly prepared and came to about $8 or so. This will be a definite spot in the future for a heathly and filling lunch! read more

Down to 3 stars just b/c of poor consistency. This time they used the wrong dressing - really odd b/c I got a standard salad - the market salad! read more

I have a love/hate relationship with this place. Why? If you are trying to eat healthy and you work in Uptown, then this is the place to go. The problem is, as usual healthy isn't fast or cheap. I usually get a fresh squeezed juice and a bag of yogurt pretzels. Hey, that IS healthy for this junk food junkie! They have named their salads and wraps with some interesting names like ninja and superbiotic. The company may think that is clever marketing, but that won't fool me into eating it. The rumors are true, during a week day lunch time, the lines are long and the staff seem to turnover all the time so when I order my juice they all seem to look at each other like 'who's doing this order?'. Uhm, throw some fruit and veg in the juicer and press the On button please. My mysterious looking green drink and a bag of 6 pretzels costs $7.50. What? Hey, that is the price for eating healthy. TIP: the place is open early for breakfast and shuts at 4pm. So after 5pm, it's time to toss those greens and head for the cocktail bar or cupcake shop! read more

If you are looking for a very clean lean healthy breakfast/lunch/smoothie/juice/soup, then this is the place to go. You will get a good portion of food for a price comparable to what you will pay at other nearby lunch spots. Yes, the wait will be long during the lunch rush, but the staff are trying their best to get it going. And despite the stress and noise in such a small space, the guy who finally bags my lunch looks me in the eye, smiles, asks if I need anything extra, hands me my food, and thanks me for visiting. That made all the difference from being annoyed for the wait and then feeling appreciated for putting up with it. Plus, their broth soups are delicious and served in a very large container. You can save half for later or lunch the next day. This will be my go to place when I don't have leftovers to bring to work. No more worries about sabotaging my clean eating anymore. read more

I have had both a salad and a froyo from here on two separate occasions and just want to warn folks - check your bill and your meal. I was charged the wrong price for the froyo and my salad was missing some ingredients I had requested. I'd like to chalk this up to the place being new but I don't feel inclined to go a third time to find out. I had the kale salad and found it to be somewhat tasteless. Froyo was serviceable; they are not generous w toppings that's for sure! Prices are on the more expensive side for lunch too. Like I said earlier, likely will not give this place another try. read more

I've been to Freshii a few times for the bowls and wraps...And while I do enjoy the food, it is not very consistent. At this point, I do prefer the bowls over the burrito/wraps. Ingredients seem very fresh and a good variety to build your own salad, bowl or wrap. Service is very quick and staff is helpful. Freshii will not be my "go to" spot but will return from time to time. read more

I am usually happy with my food but today i paid almost $11 for half a bowl of noodles and some chicken when I order buddah satay bowl the way I always do with lettuce instead of some of the normal veggies. I got back to my desk - no lettuce and called them and they said "sorry next time we will get it right"???? Very disappointing! read more

I got the teriyaki bowl with chicken and it was soooooo gross. For some reason, the bowl was incredibly wet- it looked like they just poured some cold water in it. The veggies were cold, which I assumed they just put the salad topping veggies in it. When I get a bowl I don't expect it to come with cold steamed veggies. The chicken itself was not good and the teriyaki sauce tasted like some type of frozen lean cuisine sauce. Do not go here, literally go anywhere else if you love yourself. read more

First timer, NOT the last timer. I wasn't expecting much but I thank the location in Charlotte for setting me straight. You know that meal when you get exactly what you want but it's even better? THIS was me. I ordered the Bamboo bowl and it was truly fantastic. Brown rice, fresh veggies with the right amount of crunch, mushrooms, cilantro, lime and green curry sauce. This couldn't have hit the spot any better if it was with a bow and arrow. I am SUPER happy that I loved my meal, very affordable and I plan on visiting the Raleigh location very soon. read more

I want to start off by saying that I LOVE this chain and this review is only for this location. The food is delicious. However, the portion sizes at this location are half of other locations across the country. The first time I went to this location I got my Pangoa bowl and noticed my avocado was one tiny slither. I asked for more and got another small slither. I didn't go back for a while because I was really turned off and I just went back today and it was the same issue! I am very disappointed and will not be returning. Go to another location if you can! read more

Worst salad I've ever had. Tomatoes were spoiled. Forgot to put chicken on it. Tiny salad... $15. Very disappointed.

When the cashier is texting and staring at her phone while you're ordering, that's when I walk away. Never eaten here either and wanted to try it. read more

I have repeatedly tried to give this place the benefit of the doubt, but today was the last straw. My online order was 20 minutes late, I was told "it's coming" (with contempt) despite everyone in the restaurant line getting theirs before me, no apology was offered at all, and to top matters, the order was wrong. It's really a shame, because the food is delicious (albeit extremely overpriced). It's one of the very few healthy options uptown. But after a few weeks of trying to make excuses for the horrible service, I can't do it anymore. The staff is rude, can't agree on a process so they all wander around switching stations with no discernible pattern, frequently argue with customers about what they ordered, and repeatedly charge for premium ingredients that don't get included. Will not be returning. read more

The customer service here is AWFUL. I enjoy the food so I give it the benefit of the doubt as to why I come back each time. I have never once has to wait less than 15 minutes for my food, whether there are 2 or 20 people there. Not only are wait times consistently long, but my order has never been right. Avoiding this location for my sanity's sake at all costs from now on read more

For a decent and somewhat healthy lunch this a great spot. Only give it three stars because it's nothing special but the food is good and they are pretty quick. Great if you have vegetarians with you as well as all of their option can be vegetarian. read more

This food here is amazing. I'm always super indecisive when I order, because everything is just so good and fresh! The bowls and wraps are my faves. The Oaxaca- sub the wontons for cilantro and leave off the yogurt sauce ( get cilantro lime vinaigrette) to make it vegan :) read more

Horrible. Horrible. Horrible. Waited 20 minutes for my bowl. My buddah satay bowl was barely 1/3 full and the hot noodles had ICE on it. So damn bad. Paid an extra $2.29 for 4 centimeter cubes of chicken. Don't waste your money. read more

This was my first time eating here, and I won't be back. I ordered a Cobb salad with Chicken. Don't order the chicken! It tastes like canned tuna. Overall pretty gross food, which is crazy for a salad. read more

We were only here for about 45 minutes as we prepped for a meeting. The juice drinks were decent for the price and they had free WiFi. Overall it was clean and well lit. The only downside was the truly disinterested employees and random people trying to talk to us while we prepped. read more

Double check that all the extra add on ingredients you paid for are included in the salad. Several times I have called them out for not including chicken when I paid for it. I've also been reassured that the ingredients were included when in fact they were not. read more

Ok so finally tried this pace after passing it everyday! It did not disappoint. I got the Buddha bowl, it was great. All fresh ingredients. I all tried the the Mighty Detox juice. Very pleasant and tasty. I will definitely be back here!!! read more

Went here for lunch the other day. was pleasantly surprised at how good my dish was. Had a dish with brown rice and tons of vegetables and chicken. very good! Fairly quick service too read more

Tried Oaxaca bowl couple of times for my lunch. But this time it is terrible, the brown rice that was served for me is so hard to chew and is not fresh. Please dont try with something that has brown rice in it. read more

I have mixed emotions about this place. As far as a quick-ish, healthy-ish lunch option, it's a great place. But it's pricey, and the staff is seriously lacking in customer service skills. Still, in a pinch on days when I forgot to pack my lunch, this is where I usually end up if no other reason than the food is tasty - my current favorite is the spicy lemon grass soup! read more

I got the superfood soup and all the vegetables go into your container raw and then hot broth is poured over.. the veggies are still very crunchy. That's not the reason for the bad review though. The kale in my soup was spotty and browning along the edges.. it clearly looks terrible and old. It shouldn't have been served read more

I recently discovered this place because of a good friend of mine. The food tastes so fresh and it is vegetarian and vegan friendly. The menu makes all the items sound so enticing, and everything I have tried to date has been delicious and satisfying! My only issue is the location and hours of operation. If it were not for my friend, I would've never found this place and I do wish they were open past 4 pm or open up another location more convenient for those of us who do not work in Uptown in banking. Other then that the food and service were great! It's a place worth trying if you can to Uptown during lunchtime. read more

I come here every morning for their oatmeal. It's tasty, fresh and keeps me full for the day! Every time I come in, the team says good morning and smiles. I also love the Freshii Green smoothie for an afternoon snack... the avocoado and pineapple are awesome together. read more

I've had Freshii now on numerous occaions for breakfast. I work in uptown and need to pass it walking into work from my garage - conienent location. The breakfast buritto and breakfast bowl are both pretty good. Personally, I think its a great and healthier alternative to it's neighbor - McDonalds. Don't let the bad or so so reviews turn you away - it's definitely worth a try. read more
