My husband and I just ordered delivery from Fuel tonight. We had long days and needed something quick, but healthy. We ordered off Grubhub and it arrived in a very timely matter, sooner than predicted, and all items present. We paid about $35 for a gorgonzola and chicken panini and two shrimp avocado salads. My husband enjoyed his sandwich- the gorgonzola really helped it out by adding some flavor. I was appalled when I saw the salad. I spent almost $10 on a container full of spinach, 4 shrimp with tails still on, 2 slices of avocado, maybe 12 kernels of corn, and three strips of red onion. This is not an exaggeration at all. The vinaigrette was so bland. I had to completely doctor up the salad...even a little salt and pepper (a little- I am still keeping it healthy) would have helped out. We won't be ordering from Fuel again. SO overpriced, bland food. (healthy does not have to be bland by the way). I hope this review is helpful to others. read more

Fuel is my go to spot since I am constantly watching what I eat. My favorites include: Roasted Turkey Salad (pretty fulling) Sweet Pea Wonton App Protein Buster Shake smoked salmon and goat cheese egg white frittata (brunch only) Keep in mind that the bread is not included in the calorie count of items and that the bread slices are less calories than the wraps. The coffee is a bit weak for my tastes, as well and for a banana whip I would go to HipCityVeg since theirs are much creamier. read more

Ive been to Fuel a few times.. my friend and I went last night.. great food great time. I love the decor it reminds me of a few places back home. Also the baked potato soup! deliciousness. The paninis are good nice flaky and crunchy but I definatley am more of a wrap person.. and both meals were great. So if youre looking for a good meal. Id go with the soup first and then maybe a grilled chicken or tbm wrap. Or try a salad.. honestly I think their might be very few choices on the menu that will dissapoint. read more

Best place to have a quick meal that fills you up and is healthy too! My favorites are the hummus and the TBM chicken sandwich. Fun environment and the service is always attentive and friendly. read more

I order Fuel a fair amount because the delivery is very convenient for when I don't want to leave the office for lunch. The delivery is always very fast and the employees are nice, but to me the food can be hit or miss. Sometimes the wraps I get are very dry and somewhat bland. Even though the food doesn't wow me, I keep going back because it is so convenient, and so I have eventually found items on the menu I do really like. Their hummus is really amazing, maybe some of the best hummus I have ever had. Unfortunately, that is one of the few items I can really rave about. I often get smoothies as well, but I usually don't like them. Any smoothie with mango in it is full of mango fibers that get stuck in your teeth and are very irritating. I will probably still go back because of the convenience, but I can't really give a sparkling review. read more

I feel duped!! I kept wondering how they came to their under 500 calorie claim, as it didn't seem to add up. How can something with ingredients such meat, cheese, pesto, etc., AND bread add up to only approx 300-400 calories? Without sacrificing relatively good flavor?? Lo and behold, on the very last page of the menu, at the bottom of the page, I see that calorie counts do NOT include bread. How do you have a section for panini's and wraps, list calorie counts, but then state that the bread/wrap is not included?? Well, for those of you who are calorie/carb/points counting, feel free to add at least an extra 200 calories to the listed calorie counts in the menu--bringing the calorie count for most of their panini's/wraps to well above 500 calories. What kind of trickery and dishonesty is this?? So disappointed. Just be honest and avoid the gimmicks, Fuel! And how about you actually list the calorie/carb count for the panini bread/wraps that you conveniently excluded from your menu. And if I'm wrong, and somehow misread or misinterpreted the menu, I would love for one of the owners to address this....if not, I'll take your silence as an admission of guilt. read more

I've definitely enjoyed some stuff from Fuel, however, I feel as though they've disappointed me many times. We order food to my work periodically and have gotten both smoothies and sandwiches. On two separate occasions, my boss's smoothie contained a metal spoon and has also had shards of plastic floating around in another smoothie. Another time ordering, I got the chicken and gorgonzola (which is my usual choice because I love it) and I believe the gorgonzola was bad :( After paying for one of my orders I tipped the delivery guy $2 for maybe a $12 bill and he responded with "that's it?" I'm giving them 2 stars because their food is good most of the time (... when it's fresh and doesn't contain inanimate objects) read more

great food! awesome staff! they had switched up their menu a bit but its definitely for the better! I got the lgtbq which used to be a special once and a while but is a permanent menu item now so I was really happy about that! read more

Tried them for the first time tonight. Delivery estimate on Grubhub said an hour but it came in about 25. That's a plus off the bat. I ordered the deconstructed guacamole salad and my sister got the Spanish shrimp & the sweet pea wontons. Came to $35 total (sub:$30.08) with tip. Very good overall. I just was expecting my citrus-jalapeno dressing to have more of a kick. Will order again soon. :) read more

I stopped in a while back and had the best soup I've ever had. Rocco made a sweet potato soup that was out of this world! There was even fruit in it to give it some crunch. I know it's mostly a seasonal item - consider putting it on the menu permanently! The staff was incredibly friendly. read more

It gets really smokey inside. I wish they had better exhaust. Anyway, food is very good and leans more towards the healthy side.

FOOD AND SERVICE, ESPECIALLY DELIVERY SERVICE, HAS GONE DOWN HILL !!! This place used to be our go-to for lunch but the past few months have been horrible! DO NOT recommend this place anymore. DRIVERS are mean to people read more

Protein grilled cheese is a must! This is one of the tastiest grilled cheeses I've had in a long time! It's a classic dish, but with a twist. There's a mixture of cheeses, tomato, and some greens. I think what sets it apart is the cheese mixture. There's a hint of lemon in the cream cheese or something that really brightens the flavor. I've gotten this twice now, and it's definitely one of my favorites! The grilled cheese comes with a little salad with a balsamic dressing on the side. read more

Tacky decor, mediocre food and a careless staff who didn't seem very knowledgable with the menu.

Fuel is interesting in the merging of a wrap/salad/panini place with sit down service. The food was quite good, specifically I had the eggplant and goat cheese wrap and the tofu and peanut butter wrap. Both did well with flavor, though the eggplant had a bit more taste between the two. I also had the banana-berry smoothie and the mango smoothie. Both were good, but the banana had more flavor and more texture. I'd order it again if faced with just those two choices. There were only two or three staff members, so with that in consideration, the service was quite good. In fact when I walked in, I was seated immediately. The prices here were well below what can be expected for a place with wait-staff service. For those who say it's expensive, yes, when you compare it to dollar menus at fast food burger joints. However, this is NOT that. You think eggplant is free? Ask at McDonald's for eggplant. Yes, the decor is a little, well, bland, but I'm not going there expecting table clothes or some kind of odd hip/funky thing going on. Clean, well lit, yes, and I got both. Overall, quite well pleased and what I was expecting. read more

Try the specials on the board outside. Always fresh and flavorful. Kudos to the roasted eggplant and cherry tomato flatbread with feta and balsamic reduction and the sweet potato, arugula and avocado wrap! read more

First time visitor.... I got the Fuel chopped salad w/ chicken.... everything was fresh and it tasted amazing. I would absolutely go back.

My experiences at fuel are pretty awesome so I figured id share it incase anyone was wondering what it's like. Fuel has a light and fun atmosphere and is thoroughly enjoyable with it's freshly made and yummy food, let alone everything being under 500 calories. The service is on point and is great if you're alone and is even better with friends or family. My usual take out experience is always quick and on time. Alike with my dine in experience, the service is polite and they put up and help you with pretty much anything and everything. Overall I would recommend fuel to any age group and any size party. read more

So far my wife and I have ordered twice from here and everything has been good. the spicy shrimp are just as advertised. the sweet pea wonton is awesome. the rice bowls seem to be our favorite. the sweet potato risotto is great. delivery has been good (did thru grub hub). if you are tired of the same thing and want to eat a little more healthy, fuel is the way to go. read more

Let me say that this place serves great healthy food! The prices are reasonable especially considering the mountain of guilt you are avoiding by eating here instead of the hundreds of cheesesteak and hoagie shops in the area. read more

Delicious - Unique tastes and Low Cal too!!! Great concept with everything 500 cals or less! Everything I have tried has been excellent and memorable. Highlights include the Smoked Salmon Pannini (so good it is hard to order anything else), Hot Chocolate, and Tortilla Soup. Nice atmosphere filled with pleasant surprises - for example, the soup dishes were as hip as the soup itself. I look forward to going back soon and bringing friends and family! read more

I like the Fuel near Center City so I thought I'd give this a try. Bad decision. Disorganized, terribly long wait for a salad (30+ min for carryout for a salad...just 1 salad), and then they messed up my order. Quality of the salad was poor and I actually walked all the way back after opening up my food at home just to get a refund. I rarely do this but I felt like a fool to not. It's a shame b/c it's very busy so people obviously are looking for quick and healthy food but they are a mess. read more

I just went to FUEL with a $10 for $20 dollar Groupon Now deal (sorry yelp, groupon's deal was better, but you can only use it between 3PM and 5 PM) We sat outside and I have to say, i love their menu. It was hard to decide what to get. Our server Chad was attentive and knowledgable about a lot of my random questions. Love that it lists calories AND the Weight Waters points. Smoothies were good; just an overall nice variety of sandwiches, drinks, wraps, salads. Great go-to spot for lunch. I will certainly return. read more

Love the food. It is delicious.Very clean and spacious. Great atmosphere. The only problem I had was with the manager Kate. She had a horrible attitude, extremely cocky, no customer service or respect. She needs to go elsewhere. read more

Bring a friend with you and get something you both like and try something new to share.

I decided this was my visit to Fuel. Started with receiving silverware that looked like a dried smear of peanut butter (?) on the handle with my spoon handle. Flies landed on the table many times. The entranceway is dirty and the garbage cans are a signal of how clean the kitchen is (?) I just can't think about it. I ordered soup and juice with extra ginger added. The soup was good and hot. The juice did not have any ginger added. You can build a business so people will come but you have to run it better to keep them coming back. read more

Fuel - Spoon came with my soup. Who isn't paying attention or care that the customer received a dirty spoon to eat with? - Vegetarian Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This place makes it very easy and enjoyable to eat healthy. My favorites are probably their Islander smoothie and Delicious Kale salad. What really pushed this to a 5 star review is that the delivery driver made a mistake with my change, which I didn't notice until after he left. Before I had a chance to call the restaurant, he came back to correct it. Where do you find that kind of honesty these days? read more

Ordered from here, food was so sloppy and messy.! It looks like they threw my sandwich together. Asked for no tomato, of course sliced tomato all over my sandwich. Not the first time I've had this experience. It seems as though the employees do not have any pride in what they serve people. Should be ashamed of themselves to give me what they did. read more

I'm probably at this Fuel location once a week. I happen to live a block away. Fuel is what it is and it's great. Great salads, great Paninis. A welcome respite in the heart of South Philly for this California girl. I also cannot say enough about the friendly staff: they know my name and always have a smile. It's very welcome. I love Fuel. Kale salad with chicken is healthy, delicious and a treat. Thanks guys. read more

I had the South Philly Panini on wheat and the food was delicious. Great presentation. Fresh taste. The overall decor is okay. Our server was excellent but it did take awhile for our food to come out which was frustrating because we were on a time schedule. Overall great experience and would go back again. read more

Hands down the healthiest, most cost effiecient way to eat out or in, not to mention it's the tastiest food around. If you live on a budget but don't like to cook and have a penchant for meals packed with flavor this is your spot. I hope they open a market for premade meals; that would be the best, I would do all my meal shopping there. read more

First time eating there was meh. Smoothies where great and the service even better but my rice bowl fell a little short. The flavors where there but whoever made it must of been angry at the black pepper because it was a ridiculous amount. Everyone told me they're a great place to eat at so hopefully next week I'll give em a second chance. read more

Fuel has been one of my go-to's for ordering healthy lunches down here at the Navy Yard. But today I tried to order a Veggie Wrap and asked if I could swap out the Ricotta cheese with some hummus instead (I can't do the dairy), and was told it would be a *$3.00 up-charge* to do that! To essentially swap out one spread for another - and cheese is the more expensive of the two! I understand up-charging when a customer wants to add something significant, but this was ridiculous. I cancelled my order. I'm not generally a picky or cheap person, but Fuel's prices are already up there for meals that are essentially the same 10 ingredients in different configurations. This was the final straw for me. I'll pay a fair price for a good meal, but I can't stand restaurants that try to squeeze any penny they can out of their customers for unreasonable things. I've been a customer of Fuel's for many years, and I've ignored deliveries that were messed up, or meals that were sub-par, but this has left a particularly bad taste in my mouth, and I don't think I'll bother ordering from them again. read more

My mom and I split the smoked salmon wrap and the chicken Gorgonzola wrap and both of them were incredible! With every wrap you get a side salad, and it's definitely enough to fill you up. For wraps, it's a bit on the pricey side, but the quality of the ingredients is well worth it, plus on weekdays from 11-12 they have $6 wraps! The only thing that really peeves me is the fact that the under 500 calories rule does not apply to the bread/wrap, which I only found out after getting it, not that I mind too much, but for strict dieters I feel as though that's something that needs to be in bold print on the menu. read more

Oh, hi, Fuel. Where have you been hiding? Fuel's the bomb for take out. In a virtual battle ground of mainly cheesesteaks, pizza, and Chinese, so far, I think Fuel makes the healthiest and well-crafted to-go food on Grub Hub. I ordered a salad with albacore tuna, toasted hummus, and a detox spinach+cucumber+apple juice and had 1/2 for lunch and 1/2 for dinner -- none of that was going to become leftovers! I think the hummus was my favorite. It did in fact taste toasted and I enjoyed what I *think* is the addition of lemon zest grated into the mix...and possibly...dill? Whatever it is, I hope they keep doing it. My salad was made of fresh greens and tuna grilled to perfection. The juice was truly refreshing. I think I'll do it all again next week. read more

A while has passed since I have been to Fuel, they got a new menu and some good reviews so I wanted to give it another shot. I the "Ridiculously Delicious Kale Salad" It includes: Chopped Kale, Roasted Sweet Potato, Feta, Dried Cranberry, Red Onion, Fuel Ginger Vinaigrette. The only change I made was no onion and of course, as usual, they messed up my order. They did not include onion (yay) but also completely left out the sweet potato, the second biggest ingredient! Basically I got a HUGE bowl of kale with some cranberry and feta sprinkles. It tasted good, but still a disappointment. I really want to love this place, but it seems like you just can't make any changes to any dish without someone getting it wrong. I got another juice (the hulk) and it was better than before, but still has a weird taste to it. I get a similar drink at another juice place and don't experience that. read more

My girlfriend and I visited the Passyunk location on April 22. Place was empty. We had been wanting to try it for so long so i was really excited. Off the bat wasn't too impressed with the menu. But they had a chicken barbecue salad that looked great so i ordered that. My gf ordered the southphilly panini. After ordering i went to use the bathroom. The only bathroom is a unisex bathroom behind the counter almost that is shared with employees. As I was approaching a worker walked out and I walked in. The smell of absolute horrible diarrhea was so bad I had to leave immediately. If they're going to have one single toilet for everyone they should probably invest in a ventilation system or at the very least some spray! Ugh it really turned my stomach. When we got our food I instantly started to feel even more sick. The cheddar cheese in my salad was cut into little stick.....and you know how if you leave cheese sit out it changes to a darker color and gets hard? THAT is exactly how all of my cheese was! Hard, and discolored! I showed my gf and she started to look at it but stopped and then pointed out the pubic hair in my salad. I was absolutely disgusted. Another customer had come in and was at the counter. There were what seemed to be 10 employees behind the counter and I really didn't want to bring my salad up to them in front of the customer. So we just sat there for about 10 minutes waiting for the waitress to check on us. She finally came over and asked how everything was. I showed her the hair. Her first response was "im sorry, I can probably get it discounted for you." I'm still not sure what that meant. I told her that i hadn't eaten it at all, and my gf hadn't eaten her food and we really just would like to pay for our drinks and leave. She offered another salad, (as she should have from the start) but I refused showing her the hard old cheese in my salad. She apologized again and confirmed she would bring us a check and just charge for the drinks. She brought the check and now says "ok so it's just for the sandwich and the drinks" my gf and I look at each other. The waitress walks away. She puts 15$ on the table to pay for absolutely nothing as we try to figure out where to go now for lunch. Completely disgusting. Would not recommend. Wouldn't go back. Employees should be trained on how to deal wit these situations. Should not have had to pay for a sandwich when we now had to go elsewhere for lunch. Also, not feeling too good about their care and prep of food considering that cheese was sitting out somewhere for a long time behind that counter. read more

I have to update because I ordered taken via grubhub from Fuel today and the email said it would arrive in about an hour. LITERALLY 15 minutes later the delivery guy was knocking on my door. FASTEST EVER! read more

Two visits and the food has been consistent which is most important to me. $27 for two ain't cheap in my book but I would come back.

I LOVE Fuel. It's tough to find a place that serves light, healthy food that doesn't weigh you down the rest of the day. My boyfriend ordered the veggie wrap and I had the Shrimp and Avocado salad. The chilled shrimp on top was fresh and marinated perfectly. The drinks are great too-he loved his Green Tea Matcha and I had the Give me a Tan which was delicious. The only thing I might change is the Fuel TV which has weird videos and club music on. Not my fave. Otherwise, awesome place! read more
