Salad and water was the best. Food was ok I guess. Romas pizza In Hudson has better lasagna. Shrimp and grits was good. Ranch dressing was definitely not Ranch. Some of the toast came with black edges. Lunch prices are good on the specials. Will I be back yes but I will not make a special trip for it. I see why the Hickory one had to close down.

Chicken salad sandwich

I always turn to Yelp for restaurants when I'm traveling and I'm in unknown territory. Lately I've been very disappointed by the restaurants I've visited. But Fresh Chef is a really great find. Sooooo glad we found it. And if I lived within 50 miles I would be here all the time. We started with an appetizer of crab and artichoke dip. It came to the table quickly which was great because we were hungry! Fresh crisp crackers and a warm tasty dip. The table next to us had a shrimp and grits bowl and all I can say is that it looked delicious. And the portions were huge. I had a black and blue salad with beef tenderloin. Best steak I've had ever! And I'm not an aficionado of blue cheese dressing this was thick and chunky and plenty of it on the side. My wife had a simple chicken salad sandwich which came with a salad and fries. I tasted it and was impressed by how flavorful it was. The menu is pretty impressive and everything I saw on other tables looked really good. I want to try it all.

Rawish veggies with cold parm cheese
Megan D.

Ate here two weeks ago and was excited to try to crab cakes. My server seemed bothered by me the whole time. Someone dropped off my food and she never stopped to check in. The crab cakes were literally mushy piles of meat, and the mixed veggies were cold basically raw with some cheesy thrown on top. I ate some of the food bc I was hungry but the texture was totally unappealing. She came over and I asked if that was how they normally made their crab cakes and she said that some people thought they were mushy before .... And then said "well if guess you don't want a box" and then offered dessert. I was shocked no apology not any level of service. When she went to get my check she left all the dishes and the host came over and I asked her she immediately looked at them and was like no that is not right and got a manager. He was extremely apologetic after looking at my food comp'd the meal. I was just shocked by the service and how off the food was. I won't be back.

Blackened Chicken Salad.

I've always been a fan of Fresh Chef in Conover. I used to frequent this restaurant both for dine in and carry out. I met a friend today and noticed that for a noon lunch date, the place was almost empty. Service was great, but the good was not. I ordered a Blackened Chicken Salad. The quality of the chicken was awful. Instead of the chunks of flavored chicken that is the norm for FC, I had these thin slivers of tasteless chicken. The salad itself was really just not as fresh or delicious as it used to be. It was also about half the size as usual. I was very disappointed. The restaurant still looks nice. However, I won't be back as my salad and drink were $18.57. My friend ordered the Hawaiian Chicken salad, and the pineapple looked as if it had been poured from a can. It was just not a great experience.

My meal tasted like a bottle of salt was emptied in it. I told our server and she had the cook separate the grits from the shrimp and sauce so I coild.jist eat the grits separately. The manager came over to see how things were and was beyond rude insinuating that I have had this meal various times,and you.this was my first time visiting with my coworkers. I actually was shocked with her pointing fingers at me, as it I was lying and her rude unacceptable behavior with a customer. I found this not being her first time.beong nasty with.customers. we paid for our meals 5 of them and promptly left. Not a good.look for your company.

The Menu 10/23!

Two ate for $39.63 before tip. All I can say is WoW! Many - Healthy salad options for all types caught my eye. I'm a sucker for a wedge so I got the Wedge with Filet. Honestly, one of the best wedges I've ever had! Unique- Romaine open faced and grilled so all the contents were warm and not cold. Steak was perfect and the salad... hard to describe as it has many things going on from sun dried tomatoes, sunflower seeds and blue crumbles and purple onions and on and on! We weee blown away! Nice place inside, clean and Saturday night was easy to get in.

Shrimp and Grits with andouille.

See all
