Good quality food. Weird location, weird setup. They have tried to make it a "fast casual" thing a la Chipotle or Subway, but personally I would just simplify it into 6-8 standard dishes and a few specials. The place is a bit hard to find (it's around the back of a hair salon) but as I said the food was good. The pastrami eggrolls were the highlight of my meal. read more

Where to have Sunday lunch ? We were new to Vero Beach and did a Yelp search. Found Chive and had a terrific and healthful lunch! Sat outside, joining another couple at the large table. Great food and enjoyable conversation with a local couple. Perfect!!! read more

I had a double portion of lobster on my lobstah roll and it was worth every penny! Everything is made fresh daily. On a usual 75F winter day in Vero, come here and sit out front on the veranda. read more

Wow! This is my first review and I had to do it. Why? Poke Nachos. The best ever!! We arrived with a party of 3 and were offered up a variety of selections. It was like a gourmet chipotle with upscale food. The owner stopped our table and was very friendly. read more

As far as taste alone goes, I give them 4 stars. I only had soup (lobster bisque) so I cannot claim to be an expert on all of their food. We recently ordered some food from Chive for lunch - 2 others ordered a salad, I was not that hungry so I thought I'd try the soup. I have looked online at the menus and they say it is $6 for the lobster bisque but I believe this soup was seemingly a bargain at $4-something (maybe I read the paper menu wrong). The person who placed the order over the phone told me the price came to $6-something (for tax & maybe a delivery fee, I suppose). They asked me how much change did I want back from my $10 bill - I said $2.50. When the delivery person brought the food I heard him tell our orderer - he said something like "Huh $2.50?" as if coins were something ridiculous that he should be expected to be carrying. So basically I wound up with $2 in change and the soup was tiny. I took pictures of the container with my cell phone because I thought the size was a joke. I will end on a + note: the soup tasted very good - just not enough of it and not worth $8 (nor $7.50) in my opinion. Update: I am increasing my rating to 4 stars - after the above 3 star review I received a nice letter from Chive with my .50 cents also the letter mentioned a $25 gift cert but it was missing (someone else in the office must have taken it?). I will try Chive again. read more

This was the nicest surprise ever! You have to eat here!!! The food was awesome! Loved the lobster bisque and the grilled shrimp wrap was amazing! The girls were all so so nice and I'm so glad I stopped here! Everything was fresh the vegetables were delicious along with the pineapple and mango salsa and the homemade guacamole! NOM NOM NOM!!!! read more

Boom, great find. We where in town buying something off Craigslist. We brought our dog and where looking for some place that was dog friendly. They have some covered tables outside. The review that said this place is chipotle on crack, was pretty accurate. It's the same idea just with way better fixins. We wound up ordering lobster roll with a side of Mac and cheese and a chicken chili soup. A where excellent. If this place was close I would come here once a week. Someone ordered the ahi tuna on butter lettuce. It looked awesome. Staff was super nice and place was clean. Worth a try for sure. read more

I highly recommend this place! I was so impressed by how fresh the ingredients are. Also, the meat is cooked order and tastes warm and delicious! I ordered a shrimp salad and tried chipotle lime ranch and chimichurri on the side...I LOVED BOTH! Hopefully I can go back here soon. read more

What a treat fresh food prepared fast and cooked to perfection. Lunch was perfect tuna poor boy with spicy noodles. Highly recommend

First time here, so good and the staff were so excited when I told them it was my first time. The young man waiting on me thoroughly explained how their menu works, and showed me the costumer favorites. Will definitely be back! read more

I went to Chive for the first time because when I Googled "vegan options near me," it popped up. I ordered tacos with beyond meat, and they seemed a little lost, like it was difficult to make or something. After talking to each other about the beyond meat (and possibly trying to find it?) they put it on the stove and it was done in minutes. It was really good. They also offer vegan chili, which I'm excited to try. They had a few baskets of baked goods, but none of it was labeled as vegan. If they offered a vegan dessert, I definitely would have purchased. read more

So fresh, so delicious. Great staff. Love this place. Food made to order, atmosphere is lovely. The Royal Palm Point location has better seating. Expect a slight wait in line during lunch, as it is popular. read more

I don't get it. Maybe the negative reviews are not being posted, I had a cup of lobster bisque, not good with a sour taste, philly cheesesteak with toasted soft roll,,maybe 3 ounces of chewy beef, a little cheese and sautéed onions/peppers and was offered an array of other toppings. Simply unlike any Philly Cheese Steak Ive had, not in a good way. The $3.00 can of soda was good. The total came to $17.90. I would expect Fabulous for this pricing. The counter help asked me how it was when I was leaving and I told him the bisque had a sour taste but the soda was good. He walked away. read more

Woohoo! See my previous review for La Tabla- Chive is right across the street! Great location, so many healthy options, super friendly staff and bomb, delicious food!! We had the Baja chicken tacos and Chive wedge salad. WOW- so much flavor. Head here for lunch!! read more

Had the most amazing wild shrimp bowl that was customized completely for me! Loved the atmosphere by the water. Can't wait to go back and visit again! read more

Chive was a wonderful experience! Great food, very fresh. Had the shrimp and pork sandwiches, delicious, highly recommended!

Best fresh made to order food ever. All unique and delicious. Make your own or order off of their recommendations. Great little place for a quick bite! read more

Stopped in to lunch today with some friends visiting Vero had fresh swordfish over rice and beans with assorted vegetables a great concept interesting made right in front of-you Good flavor nice selection A very nice lunch stop today read more

This place was ok...it is "Chipolte" style food that is priced high, is very edible, and probably fresh. It just did not do it for me. Some places do...this one did not. It came recommended by a young diner...so that may have influenced the recommendation. It is a younger crowd...not sure why. Parking, service, and food are all acceptable. No bad meals, no dining experiences either. read more

Great service and food. Love the unique types of food available. Quick and easy for lunch

This is a great, healthy place to eat. Lots of wonderful options with lean meat and tons of veggies. I had the bean and rice bowl with grilled vegetables. Delicious. The staff is easy-going and nice. I highly recommend eating here. read more

Absolutely delicious. Super fresh ingredients and plenty of vegetarian options. The house made sauces were phenomenal, especially the wasabi aoli. Seafood looked and tasted as fresh as could be. read more

Our lacrosse team was in Vero for spring break, and we took a team of hungry girls to Chive after a game. Not only did the girls get fed really quickly, but the food was fresh and delicious and the staff was GREAT. The staff helped move 25 people effortlessly through a line and even made more guacamole when they ran out. I would definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a healthy, delicious, and easy meal. Wish we had a Chive in the D.C. area! read more

Just went to Chive's new location for the first time for a take-out lunch and was so disappointed. I've never had a bad meal at Chive-ever. Today it was almost inedible. Both my friend and I had a ninja salad and a ninja bowl-both missing the scrambled egg (a major component). The veggies seamed to be steamed rather than grilled, as they were quite mushy. And worst of all the shrimp were like gel! So gross! Clearly defrosted frozen shrimp that were flash cooked. I really hope this one bad meal was due to them working out kinks in the new location and maybe training new people. I'll give them another try but not for a long while. As far as the ambiance goes, the outdoor area looks very nice but inside seems very industrial and unwelcoming to me. It was extremely loud and is set up like a true deli counter. read more

Thai chicken wrap us a huge thumbs up. A bit pricey but ingredients are fresh and in my opinion worth the price. Still plenty if you share.

Best way to describe Chive is like Chipotle as far as the ordering is concerned. Food is outstanding. Quick, easy and convenient.

This place is unbelievable! Amazing flavors, high quality ingredients and great service! Make a point to stop in if you are in the area, you will not be disappointed. read more

Great food and great service! Love that the menu accommodated our Whole30 diet needs. We will definitely visit again when we are back in town. read more

New location with nicer interior and better outdoor seating. And still yummy salads etc. Looks like they have a full bar now. If there is any negative, it may be parking, but it was fine today. read more

Amazing!!!! I had the Korean tacos Yummie yummie yummie!!! Great salads and lots to choose from Delicious and nutritious !! Can not wait to come back!!! read more

Food and staff are absolutely amazing! Come here all of the time and have never been disappointed. Try the ahi tuna salad, and definitely the Mac and cheese! It's unreal!! read more

A nice laid back place in a convenient location. Somewhat of a combination of self serve and a restaurant. The food is fresh with some nice healthy choices, and the people are very nice. read more

The Chive is really good! I love the chicken salad - so many fresh toppings. They have great banana bread too!

My husband and I found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try for lunch on our way to South Florida. It has a wide range of very fresh, interesting selections. Their fresh fish was wahoo, which made my husband very happy, as it is his favorite and rare to find. I had a shrimp Po Boy. The shrimp were nicely seasoned and cooked perfectly. The staff was very helpful in figuring out exactly what we wanted. There are lots of options for toppings and sauces. We will definitely come again next time we are in Vero. read more

Place was ok, portions aren't the best. Need more toppings for sure. A little too expensive for what you get. Staff was great!

Sadly we didn't share the majority of reviews for this place. The food definitely looked fresh and the place was clean, but this is more of a salad and taco type place. My husband had the mahi but didn't realize it was being served over a bed of lettuce or a salad. Not what he expected. He wanted a mahi sandwich and thought the salad would b on the side. The Mahi was fresh and good just not what he wanted. I had Mac and cheese, lobster bisque and lobster sandwich. The Mac and cheese was way too salty to eat and the bisque was like a tomato bisque, not a lobster bisque. The lobster sandwich was fabulous with ample chunks of lobster. The manager came to our table and asked for feedback and did refund our money on the bisque and brought potato salad to replace the Mac and cheese, so atleast the restaurant cares about your dining experience. The aftertaste of the coke was the taste of chlorinated bad city water. Using Filtered water for the coke would have eliminated this awful taste. The menu is a bit hard to understand, so ask questions before you order. All in all, I would say this place would be great for salad lovers, as they had several fresh items that you could add to any of your dishes. Just not for us. read more

Great macaroni and cheese and reuban eggrolls! Best if you look at menu beforehand, as there is "pressure" to order when you walk in. Most of the sauces I find spicy but otger than that I like the healthier choices they offer. read more

Service- great! Food- even better! Service- I never tip when I order to go but the young lady made my experience memorable and helped me choose the best options for my meal! Well done Chive! read more

Looked up sandwich shops, this got good reviews. It was absolutely fabulous, good fresh food. Good prices. We will be back!

Nothing about this place is good. No atmosphere despite the fact it is on water - no view. I got slow roasted pork on beans and rice. Dry pork! The dish was mostly poor quality, tasteless rice with a sprinkling of mixed beans. The salsa fresca was so not fresca. It wasn't inedible, but it was pointless. Can't rate the service because it was cafeteria style. read more
