We ate at Flower Child for the first time and it was great! My bestie is a vegetarian and I mostly like meat in my meals. There were options for both of us! You can add your protein whether it is tofu, beef, chicken, pork or shrimp. I had the Peruvian Beef and my bestie added tofu to his Mother Earth Bowl. We rated them both all 5*. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful and the restaurant was clean. The only downside we found was that the Sangria was only about 4 oz in 4 oz of ice in a very small 8 oz glass. read more

Not sure who needs to read this.......but today is one of those days that you want to escape everything and everyone........but, I decided to come to Flower Child and was reminded that "this is my happy place". It's not just about the food, the atmosphere and the staff are unbeatable. It's something about just being here allows me to think and not OVER THINK, quiet the noise, and just exist in a space that welcomes me in gently, kindly, and smiling faces everywhere, the food is a PLUS!!!!!!! If you need a happy place and a space to just sit and be welcomed in, no matter what you days is or has been, you are safe here :) I am grateful for the staff and how I am treated when I'm here is just unmatched. https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g34618-d33064885-r1074145257-Flower_Child-Sarasota_Florida.html# read more

We had a nice dinner here! My husband had been having some stomach problems and we were looking for something light and easy on the tummy. This turned out to be just the place. We started with the Green Chile Queso. We really enjoyed it and were pleasantly surprised at how it tasted for being vegetarian. My husband got the "Forbidden" Rice bowl, and I got a build your own with shrimp, cauliflower risotto, and broccoli. Our entrees were tasty, thoughtfully made and curated, and light like we were hoping for. I did leave hungry though, but if you have the appetite of a normal person you'll be fine. The locale was bright and fresh feeling, in theme with the food, and the staff was alright. I am sure I will be back. read more

I've been here twice now and both times the experience was top tier and the food matched the positive vibe. I'm usually not a "health food" guy but this place proves you can provide healthy food and not compromise the taste. The chicken enchiladas were great. Very flavorful and a nice cross between a Mexican dish and a healthy option. The forbidden rice looked equally great on my wife's plate. I'd order that with a nice piece of salmon. If you're looking for a great lunch option and dont want to sacrifice taste for healthy. This is the spot! read more

Went for lunch on Monday and I was pleased with the all around experience. We ordered a poke bowl, chicken enchilada bowl, and had the unsweetened teas. The poke was spicy and fresh with no unwanted flavors, the enchiladas were really flavorful and tender with some nice crunch from the cabbage, and the unsweetened tea was on point. The service was good, meal came out relatively quick and the counter person gave good suggestions. The ambiance is very good. The restaurant is clean, and has refreshing decor. I look forward to trying some other food in the future. Food 9.0 Service 8.5 Ambiance 8.0 read more

Delicious!! If you've never heard of it tried Flower Child I highly recommend it. This is the one and only location in FL so we are very lucky here in LWR. I'm a huge fan of fast clean healthy eating and this place is a great example. They have salads, wraps, bowls, or build your own entrees. All super fresh good quality options with many dietary restriction accommodations. We got the enchilada bowl and the chicken yakisoba noodles, along with a side of their amazing gluten free mac and cheese. Everything was fantastic! My wife also got one of their homemade lemonades. They serve alcoholic drinks as well I believe sangria and some other canned beverages. If you haven't been try it out and let me know if you love it as much as me!! read more

3 1/2 stars. Four of us dined here for lunch. You order at the counter & they bring it out to you. You have to get your own utensils, etc. Some of the food was good, some wasn't. The chicken noodle dish looked fantastic & my friend enjoyed it. I had the chopped veggie salad & really liked it. My other friend got a wrap & did not care for the actual wrap but enjoyed the inside of it along with the salad that came with it. My other friend got the avocado caesar & it was very heavily dressed & she didn't eat much of it. I noticed that they take a very long time to clear the dishes from the tables. We liked sitting in the shade outside but I guess with love bug season, we should have sat inside! I'd probably give it another try! read more

What a wonderful new restaurant in Lakewood Ranch. They have been open since Tuesday, May 13th so this is their first weekend open! Welcome the First Florida Location of Flower Child and I look forward to seeing more. They have locations in AZ, CA, CO, FA, IN, TX just to name a few. There is more! This is fast casual and you either order online or order with them and they bring your food to you. Dining is inside and outside. Decor is stand out in detail and eye catching on every angle. I ordered the forbidden rice while my husband had the chicken yakisoba. I loved my dish and chose to add shrimp. I was able to get a ten dollar coupon off with ordering online to so that was a nice bonus. They are dog friendly outside with their beautiful outside patio also. Definitely will be back! read more

This is my favorite place to eat in the area. I visit a few times a week. Always a delicious, healthy, relaxing experience. The service is fantastic. My favorite thing is sweet potato fries (extra crispy) with the yummy ranch! The dessert muffins are addictive especially the seasonal strawberry. read more

So this is my first time at flower Child and overall it was a pretty good experience. The steakhouse salad was really good. I just received super well-done steak when they said that they serve it at the temperature of medium so I really didn't care for that. The queso was extremely good. And their lemon olive oil cake was very delicious. I will return as the workers were sweet and food was healthy. Beautiful building and restaurant amongst all the gray buildings surrounding it. read more

Flower Child - Steakhouse Wedge with over cooked steak - Salad Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

You know .... I was totally fascinated by the cult following so to speak for Flower Child across the United States...and I had one of their signature salads..... but after I ate it.. .I thought.... what's so great about this salad? Its just a salad. Not an amazing off the charts incredible salad. So yes... I bought in to the hype for this place because its located in all the "posh" cities and towns in the US...however, that romance is off... and for the price of its dishes... and the average flavor of the food.. I will not be swooning because of its marketing and its decor anymore read more

I had heard from others the food is too salty here but that wasn't my experience the first time I ate here, but tonight our dinners were so salty they were inedible. We were very disappointed but the brownie was delicious. I've eaten at the one in Scottsdale many times but never found it salty. Unfortunately my husband won't return here sadly. read more

The food was delicious and great quality! I got the glow bowl with salmon. The food was healthy but still had good flavor and was more filling than expected. The service was quick and the staff were very friendly. Highly recommend! read more

Flower Child - Glow Bowl and Iced Tea - Salad Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

We were heading home after an outing today and a wrap/salad sounded good. This was our first time at Flower Child. My wife had the Flying Avocado Wrap and I had the Chopped Vegetable Salad. I was impressed by the freshness and taste of the ginger miso vinaigrette. There was a varied collection of vegetables in the salad and it was tasty and crunchy. The wrap came with a small salad and it was big enough to take half home for lunch. The wrap was open-ended which made it hard for her to eat without spillage. I was a bit disappointed in the moderately high calorie count and calories from fat in most of the menu items. I was happy with the stats on my salad, however. read more

Lady up front was the absolute best, i haven't had the chance to taste the food yet considering i have been waiting at this table for about 30 minutes. She brought us some cookies, but wow the wait is insane!! Ive been told it's not normally like this, but it's the only time I've ever been, and after this experience it will probably be the last. Other than that.. i loved the iced lemon water at the front, place looks really sweet! read more

Flower Child - Me waiting for food - Salad Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

The inside is beautiful and all the servers were very nice. All the food we tried used an unusual combination of seasonings and ingredients, which is awesome, but I didn't really love any of it. We tried the tuna bowl, enchiladas, bang bang cauliflower, chili glazed sweet potato and sesame noodles. The enchiladas were the best thing but the whole bowl is one texture (soft). It would have benefitted from some crispy chip bits sprinkled on top. It's possible we just didn't order the right things so if friends asked us to go there we'd try it again. read more

In a sea of Taco Hells and overly processed food(dead food) it feels awesome to have a place with healthy options. This place has been opened since May and a wonderful addition to the area. I am super grateful for the vegan options. I love the coconut chocolate pudding, the black bean falafel, kung pao cauliflower, glow bowl added tofu to it. Lovely mini wildflower bouquets, green and yellow seats, cool artwork, good energy, clean and organized. I need to try the rose lemonade and the teas out. read more

You know that feeling when you specifically state your preference and they put give you the opposite, exactly what you do not want? Well that's what happens at Flower Child. I ordered carry out on the app and asked for a center cut piece of salmon with the glow bowl, not the thin tail part. And guess what I got.... The thin tail. What is wrong with these people? Last time I was there people stood behind the counter like their job was to hang out and talk to each other. That time I waited indoor from my food and the guy walked over and put it on the counter for walk in pick up, and never called my name. Pretty sad employees imo. read more

Used to eat here in Dallas and was so excited when I saw they were opening in LWR. Not sure if it's because they just opened, but the food was actually better than the other location I used to eat at. It's a bit pricey in my opinion, but it's soooooo good. The roasted broccoli is absolutely phenomenal. Went for lunch and it was busy, but the line moved quickly and we got a table immediately after ordering. read more

the newly opened Flower Child in LWR. I tried the chicken enchilada bowl with a side of kung pow cauliflower while Michelle had the falafel wrap and the cauliflower risotto! You order at the front and then they prepare it fresh and bring it to your table. Everything was presented beautifully. Each entree was flavorful and we really enjoyed them. I loved the decor-from the mural wall to the artwork to the bathroom wallpaper! For me-it's all in the details and I loved them!!It was a fun night of catching up and sharing our meals! There are definitely more menu items I want to go back and try out! read more

The setup reminds me of another spot, Pura Vida but with a different vibe. We sat outside and enjoyed our meals during the soft opening. Staff were very hospitable, polite and friendly!

Great food and pretty quick service. The food offerings are varied and they have something for most tastes. We order takeout often and their great loyalty program is very "rewarding". Our favorites are the chicken noodles and braised beef bowls. The BBQ chicken wrap is super good too. A great addition to SRQ/LWR. read more

Flower Child - Peruvian beef - Salad Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

Bang Bang Beef was Blubber Rubber. Much heralded limited time dish arrived lukewarm although the server warned the bowl was very hot, which it wasn't. While the dish was favorable, it had very little beef and what was there was almost all gristle. Would've loved to have spoken to someone about its quality, but no one ever checked with us. This was our fourth meal at the establishment in 5 weeks, but after this experience, it's going to be a while before we go back. read more

My. New favorite place in LWR. The Miso Ginger Crunch is amazing! Love the flavored water too!

Very good healthy food love the people who work there they are super nice and welcoming

I was so excited to try this restaurant as they fill a niche in this area that is both desired and needed. The food is great, no question. The value for your money is terrible. I have been now twice for dinner and left hungry; extremely small portions for what you pay. This may pass for lunch for certainly not for dinner. I do not plan to return for this reason. read more

Very delicious dip with corn and queso. Just getting used to swing of things vibe when I went a couple of months ago.

The food was good and the service was great. The atmosphere was pleasant. I'd definitely go back. We had a nice time.

So happy to find a Flower Child here! I've been to the one in Dallas. They have an excellent menu and casual environment. Fresh healthy food. I highly recommend. read more

I will ONLY eat in the restaurant...their takeout is BADLY put together and this is not my first experience with it...there will NOT be another. I ordered two salads and roasted veggies. The veggies were delicious but once again as a to-go the salads were TERRIBLE. The steakhouse wedge is a HUGE pile of iceberg with so little other things and even with a double dressing it barely covered the pile of lettuce that was awfully expensive for the pile of iceberg...They fill ramakins half way...even two didn't touch the salad and the chopped Veggie salad. We ended up combining the two and using dressing from the fridge. $40 for this and SO NOT WORTH IT...I will not be back...I tried again but there are better salads in so many places at a better value!!! read more
