Honestly shocked. I'd never heard of this place. Were visiting Champaign to see my daughter at the University of Illinois and decided to try Forage wanting some healthy food. It was absolutely fantastic food. Loved it. Will go back. I wish there was one near us in Chicago. read more

Casual warm bowls for clean living. This lunch place has you covered when you want something hearty but not heavy. The bowls use simple ingredients for a mild but hearty meal. I ordered a power bowl, with the dressing on the side and added tofu. It was effectively a large bowl of black rice -- a meal unto itself -- topped with slightly chilled vegetables. The guacamole and slaw that came on it were crisp, and they mixed into the rice to give it a texture both smooth and crunchy. On the other hand the sweet potatoes, lentils, and tofu were cool and mushy, like they had been cooked the day before and just come out of the fridge. They warmed party in the rice. The flavors were mild, except for the dressing. I'm glad to have ordered it on the side because it overwhelmed everything else with vinegar. The ingredients generally seemed to be a couple days old. The green onions were dried out though firm, and the sourdough it came with was a bit stale. In the future, I will probably stick with the small bowl, which cuts down on the rice. read more

50 minutes. 2 items. Placed an online order for a wrap and a bowl. Showed up about 20 minutes after ordering, only to have them start on the order. Stand in the pickup area for another 30 minutes. Told at 15 minutes 'the press isn't heated up yet' (now 11:00a - lunch service). Watched 3 wrap orders get served to eat-in patrons after this. Asked staff multiple times about the order with different excuses, eventually being ignored. Food is decent - it's a great option to have in town, but never again with that level of service. Wasted my entire lunch hour waiting. read more

I absolutely 100% support the concept of healthy, quality and fresh ingredients that are nutritious and without pesticides plus weird chemicals. Maybe a little pricey for add-ons. Appreciate clean and pleasant décor. Friendly employees. Thank you for your restaurant. read more

Not my personal favorite place. I was under the impression this place was like Sweet Greens in Chicago, but that wasn't quite it. It's easy order dine in or takeout. I didn't really like the options. It tasted salty, portions were small, and it felt overpriced. Generally speaking I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

Good place for a quick and refreshing brunch! The dining environment was pretty nice and clean with very few people sitting inside on this Sunday morning. The servers were friendly as well. I ordered the Avocado Crunch, which cost about $15. The vegetables were very fresh, and I love the natural flavors as well as the mixture they added in the bowl. The fish meat was soft and salty, just played the role of a taste-increasing thing. The crunchy chips were able to enrich the texture, and the avocado cream was just appropriate in quantity. However, the bread was cold and tough, for which I reduced the one star. I might go there again if I wanna a refreshing meal in the future! read more

Expensive but delicious and healthy . I really like the lentil meatballs. I'm hoping they open a location closer to me soon.

Best salad/power bowl restaurant near campus. Fresh food, generous portions, clean environment and dining ware, friendly staff. Plus it is super convenient. It's a great place to eat if you want to go healthy or after a workout so tiring that you feel uncomfortable if swallowing greasy food. I have been eating here for quite a few times and will keep going there! It would be even better if more options of protein can be provided. read more

Hands down one of my favorite lunch spots! Fresh, flavorful, healthy - and the green goddess dressing is my favorite! The service was great as well! read more

Great food as always. I really enjoy the cashew bowl each time I get it. Fresh and always very tasty.

So happy to have healthy food on green! It's absolutely delicious consistently. My only complaint is that the workers never tell me if anything is going to cost extra and the price seems steep to me. I think if they priced closer to CAVA it'd a 10/10! read more

Caesar Salad was super expensive and hot, dressing had no flavor whatsoever. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Amazing new place right on Green Street. Freshly made salads and bowls. Tried the Club Med Bowl. It tasted fresh, the flavor was authentic and the portion was large enough for a full meal. read more

The food is 5 stars. Our towns Sweet Greens. Fresh, flexible and full of options. I go there at least once a week.

I had build your own bowl. Food was amazimg and salad dressing ha were awesome! I will be ordering again soon!

Needed sometime quick and was hoping for something healthy/light and this checked both those boxes. So much so that I went back again the next night when looking for the same. Got a bowl with tempeh and a a caesar salad with chicken. Food was great both times and I arrived somewhat close to closing each time and options were still available and fresh. Good spot for a quick and healthier option. read more

Very uncomfortable service. I went to get a salad from this new place near campus and was greeted with an unpleasant person taking my order. This was my first time here and it will be my last. I came in around 3:30 and he started to make conversation with me while I was ordering, which was normal but then I realized he started hitting on me. He continuously called me flirty names like "shorty/shawty" among other names as well. He constantly complimented my looks, nails, and other personal belongings. All making me feel uncomfortable and never going back. Other than that, the food was okay. read more

normally I get the poke bowl and even though it's overpriced I still get it because I always felt that it was a good quality lunch. this time they were so slow to the point where it looked like it was on purpose and my avocado on the bowl was rotten. usually not a big deal but this one was obviously bad. I wasted my money and I'm not coming back. read more

I would give this a 3.5, the quality of the ingredients are good, my issue is with portion size. If you compare this to similar places (Sweetgreens), the portions are so small. You aren't going to get much of vitamins with a handfull of salad leaves. However I am glad to have a healthy option on Green st. read more

Showed up at 7:50 and they refused to let us in. Service sucks. Do not go here. Food isn't even worth it. Overpriced and not fresh.

I got the Caesar salad and it was fire kinda pricey but it's worth it. Also very close to campus and a good place to eat out for people who are on more strict diets. read more

Very good food here! Finally a healthy takeout option in Champaign! Highly recommend!

This place is never open during their listed hours of operation. I've attempted to go on 3 different occasions only to be greeted by a locked door. I've attempted at 12pm, 6pm, weekday and weekends. No luck. read more

i honestly love this place so much. the food is so good, so fresh and there's so many options. love doing the build your own bowl. it's so tasty and i love having a healthy option on campus!!! read more

idk if they made a bad batch but their green goddess dressing used to be so good and now they added avocado to it and it STINKS!!!! please go back to the previous recipe you used for the dressing cause it tastes so bland now :( it used to taste so good--- perfect amount of tanginess and sweetness. now it tastes like nothing. my heart is broken a little. also charging $1.50 for pumpkin seeds and $1.50 for sunflower seeds is crazy like... there's no reason for my tiny salad to cost $11. come on. read more
