Another great visit to Innovo Kitchen I've been to Innovo Kitchen several times over the years and have reviewed them before, and today's visit didn't disappoint either. One thing I really like about Innovo is that they frequently change the menu, so there's always something new to try, and I've never had trouble finding something that sounds good. Tonight I went with the Rigatoni Riggies with tomato vodka sauce and chicken, and it was delicious. The warm bread that came with it was also really tasty. We also tried the Dorito Cool Ranch tater tots, which were delightful. But the real showstopper was the peanut butter mud pie. Soooooo good. Definitely one of those desserts that makes you wish you had ordered two. What really made tonight's visit memorable, though, was our waiter, Matthew. He noticed the funny design on my T-shirt and struck up a conversation about it. We laughed and chatted for a bit, and eventually he mentioned that he's been a waiter for 27 years. It showed. Matthew was high-energy, funny, personable, and attentive without being overbearing. He checked on us several times and seemed to genuinely enjoy what he was doing. Watching him work was like watching someone who has truly mastered his craft. It was a master class in waitership, and it made an already great meal even better. Great food, a fun atmosphere, and an excellent server. Another very enjoyable visit to Innovo Kitchen.

I feel like the food and service are two separate things. The service is not an issue - every time…read morewe have been here, our waitress/waiter is truly amazing. They are always pleasant and attentive. However, the food is not as good as a story. Your "experience" starts by reading the menu and being greeted by relatively high prices - which isn't an issue if the food is stellar (spoiler alert, it's not). I have had multiple dishes here from a roast beef sandwich, burger, chicken Caesar salad, an onion pasta dish, and even a lobster Cobb salad. Every single dish lacks seasoning, culinary character, and is just bland. I want to like it, but they make it very hard. If you go here, maybe just have a drink at the bar and go eat some place else.

It was good to know the turkey is roasted "in house." I took half home. In my opinion, the prices are not only fair but on the low side for the quality of food served. My sandwich was only $9.99 with chips and a pickle spear. Side salads are inexpensive and delicious I hear. The two sided laminated menu was easy to navigate. Specials of the day are posted at the entrance. Service was prompt and friendly. The charming cafe is located at the end of a strip of businesses off Rt. 7 near the Galleria 7 Food Court. There are many tables and a full bar in a well lit inside seating area. In addition, there is a great patio with nice planters on one side. Lots of parking. Easy access for wheelchairs and walkers. Looking forward to returning for a Panini, or soup, or salad, or breakfast sandwich. I will check out the catering menu to use in future. From Owner: After 20+ years on the corporate side of culinary, I traded in my 9-to-5 life to pursue my dream of opening The Stuffed Rooster. A lifetime of love, recipes, and ideas have gone into this company, and I am fortunate to have found a dedicated team to help make this dream a reality.

When I said that my son has a peanut allergy the employee said "it should be OK". Well "should" isn't good enough with a life threatening allergy. I asked about the bread which is a common cross contamination problem, and he said "Well there's a lot of ingredients - I don't have time to read them all". Most places simply ask if we want to see the label. When I suggested it he actually rolled his eyes and acted visibility put out. My son was upset and embarrassed, so we decided to leave. Ironically, I did get a look at the ingredients and it would have been fine. So because of his unprofessional behavior the empty sub shop lost customers for life.

These eats certainly hit the spot and I don't mind the wait when it's all made to order. Portions from all the food vendors here are generous. Go with a group so you can all share!

The pita and hummus were also fresh too. I grabbed a box for my leftovers and had another meal out of it.

Well, at least we kept our word today when we ordered their two different bowls for takeout. My wife ordered the Fishbowl ($30) with the grilled fish of the day (salmon), cherry tomatoes, quinoa, feta, peaches, arugula, and basil lime vinaigrette (she said no to onions). She could not get over how tasty the quinoa tasted and wondered how they prepared it. She also thought the peaches could have been a little sweeter since we are in prime peach season. While the salmon was just slightly overcooked we'll attribute that to it continuing to cook as we drove the meals home. Even with those minor negatives, she said she would definitely order the dish again. I chose the Poke Bowl ($35) for my meal (my first ever poke bowl) with marinated raw tuna and salmon, edamame, cucumber, watermelon radish, snap peas, nori, avocado, sesame seeds, scallions, and pea tendrils, all over sushi rice with ginger gochugaru oil and soy sauce on the side. This was absolutely delicious. It was a wonderful blend of fresh flavors and textures. If I have another poke bowl somewhere else I only hope it can come close to measuring up to the enjoyment I experienced with this one.

Wanted to try the Alabama white sauce but they were sold out! I had hoped they had a Carolina mustard sauce,however their BBQ sauce was pretty good.

The cashier explained everything they offer and gave me a printed menu to look over before my friend arrived. I couldn't believe how much seating they have. Tons of tables to choose from! When my friend arrived, we ordered the hummus appetizer and she got an iced latte while I decided on the strawberry matcha without added sweetener. For my meal, I got the grilled shrimp pita wrap and my friend got a build your own bowl, which she loaded with chicken and fresh vegetables. My wrap was great and had a nice flavorful sauce in it. I also love the variety of toppings they offer - there's truly something for everyone. The strawberry matcha was great too and I love how good it was without adding sweetener to the strawberry sauce. My friend really enjoyed her latte too. Overall, it was an awesome experience! I've driven by this place for a while and I'm so glad I finally stopped in.

I was excited to try their Mediterranean and Afghan cuisine based on so many good reviews that were posted.

I decided to dine in and ordered a strawberry refresher, a pistachio matcha and several soft drinks. Then, a badenjen (eggplant) appetizer that came with naan. A lamb kebab wrap, a Zafire (spicy) burger meal with fries, a chicken kebab bowl as well as a barg kebab (steak) bowl. I especially loved the choices I was given for toppings for the bowls. To name a few, there was hummus, baba ghanoush (eggplant tahini spread) various sauces, olives, cucumbers, pickled onions, beets and more. I was also able to ask for extra on the toppings that I really liked too. Everything that I had, tasted fresh and was made to order. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants a tasty quality meal that's well balanced and healthy. I will be back again soon, as this is definitely a place that I would go to regularly.
