Interior of Fresh Chef. Clean and modern. .

Mathew M.

Great place for Saturday or Sunday breakfast. Quality food, generous portions, reasonable prices, good service. I recommend this restaurant. Recommendation to management. Just unlock both of the doors at the entrance! I hate it when a business is open and you have to pull on 2 doors to find the open one!

Wow, it is warm in here. No AC? The acoustics are horrible, very loud. Server was very nice,all the lights were on... but nobody was home. Bless their heart. The salmon bites were good, very good. The aioli was fantastic. There is a gluten free version available. The salmon is cooked medium, so be ready you folks that like everything cooked to death. You know who you are! The blackened chicken salad was good, the vinaigrette was good. The grilled romaine salad was ...good. Yes... just good. We will try breakfast next. Yes, gluten free options and Gluten free menu. Not bad. Solid 3.5.

Great atmosphere and staff is freindly. Breakfast is only served on the weekend (opens at 8). We have been here several times and I just realized I had not reviewed them. The food us fresh and tasty. Portions are amazing. I had the Vegie omelet see photo it comes with a bread side (I had the cheddat biscuit) as well as an additional side (see the fries phoro). I had a glass of unsweetened iced tea as well. My husband had the Baja omelet with a side of bacon and a cheddar biscuit. Our entire bill was $22.15 Definitely check this place out. They also have dinner specials Monday through Sunday.

The kale salad was dry and the food wasn't worth the price.

The food is not good, the salad was dry, the broccoli and rice tastes like boiled water and the tartar sauce was absolutely disgusting and the pico was old and mushy.

I could not be more impressed with this place! Above all, service is top notch and that really goes a long way in my book. Our waiter was friendly and attentive while giving us plenty of time to study the menu and make our decisions. He was happy to answer any questions and gave us excellent recommendations. I don't think you could go wrong with any menu option, though. Everything seems to be made with high quality ingredients and has attention to detail that you don't seem to find as often these days. It made for an excellent meal and I'm already dying to return! The menu offers an extensive range of options with a heavy focus on fresh ingredients to make choosing something healthy easy. Of course the meatloaf special caught my eye along with their amazing salad options. The meatloaf eventually won out but trust me, it wasn't an easy decision to make as I seen some really awesome plates pass by our table as we tried to make up our minds. I will certainly be back to try the salads because my side salad alone was possibly my favorite part of the meal! And that's not to say the rest wasn't as good, but the salad was just as amazing as everything else. It was topped with tons of toppings to include cherry tomatoes, red onion, diced cucumbers, lots of cheese, and sliced mushrooms. Everything was well mixed before plating to make sure every bite included toppings and you didn't have to make a mess trying to stir it in the bowl that is doing well to contain such a large salad. The creamy garlic dressing I chose after my first choice was out was delicious. The waiter told me it is their version of ranch dressing. It has the same creamy texture but an even better flavor and is certainly one I would choose again. There wasn't an overpowering garlic flavor which I tend to worry about with anything labeled "garlic" in the name. The meatloaf was covered in a Marsala sauce instead of the traditional ketchup or gravy (as it may seem in photos), which was different than I expected but so very good. There's a depth of flavor that pairs so well with the meat and potatoes of the dish. The portions are substantial and I had leftovers of both the meatloaf and salad to take home that were perfect for lunch the following day. Always a win! My husband ordered the Cajun pasta with blackened filet, which I had also been eyeing and was happy to trade bites to sample. It was even better than I could imagine and I would love to order it for myself once I get a few of the salads I am craving off my list of next tries. The steak was cooked perfectly medium rare as he requested and it didn't require any cutting with a knife. The pasta is presented somewhat deconstructed to create a nice presentation and upon stirring all together, it makes the most perfect creamy sauce with tons of flavor. Even with sharing, we still had a decent size portion of leftovers to again share for lunch the next day. You certainly get your money's worth here as the food it top notch in flavor and quality of ingredients and you have fairly large portions that make for extra meals if your willpower or stomach size can stop you from devouring the entire thing all at once. I look forward to trying more of their menu and revisiting some of the favorites I found on our initial trip. Oh! And speaking of favorites, I almost forgot one of the other shining menu options we had that night! The spinach dip appetizer. It was possibly one of the best spinach dips I've ever had and I know that could be dismissed easily but really, don't miss out on this dip! The chips were perfectly crispy and salted and once you set a few off in a plate, you find the amazing dip that is perfectly creamy and flavorful. It's a good sized portion to hold you over while ordering and awaiting the entrees but isn't super heavy and filling to the point you don't have much room for the rest of your meal. Solid option for an appetizer and one I will certainly order again. All in all, I would highly recommend this restaurant and feel like you can't go wrong no matter what you order. There's certainly something for every craving and the staff are great resources in helping to decide. I'm already wanting another salad for lunch as I write this! The vibe is casual but the staff and food are top notch. It's perfect for lunch or dinner and I have seen some pretty awesome photos of their breakfast options as well. Definitely give them a try if you find yourself in the Denver area!

Almost everything ordered was on the money. My Teriyaki Wrap was very good, just not as hot as usual and maybe a little less taste. In regards to the latter, I might have ordered it wrong. As far as the Cheeseburger and Blackened Chicken, excellent! Fries are good, not great. Brownie Ice Cream (Whip Cream included) is amazing! Service was as good as it gets. And the place is spotless. Even when I walked by the kitchen, I was in awe of the cleanliness. This is a place you go to try many different menu items on different trips. You will always have a great meal, and you will sometimes have an exceptional meal. The Fresh Chef people definitely know how to run a restaurant. Highly recommend!

Thought for sure I had already written a review for this location. We've been visiting here since we moved to Trilogy in Denver a little under two months ago. Not to say we are not familiar with the Fresh Chef Chain because we have been going to the Fresh Chef in Cornelius in Cornelius since they first opened several years ago. Have also dined at the Mooresville Location a couple of time. I think we have been here for three or four visits, generally in the evening. Love the Black and Bleu Salad, their Kale Salad and an excellent Cheeseburger. This is a review of their Brunch Menu and the first time I have had Brunch at a Fresh Chef. They only have Brunch on Saturday and Sunday. Walked in right at 11:00 am just before the big rush hit. Needless to say, it was a Sunday. Promptly seated and drink orders taken. We both had black coffee and their coffee is outstand. Nice and rich with a Robust Flavor. I ordered the California Omelet which is a Omelet with Avocado, Bacon and Cheese. Took it with Whole Wheat Toast and for my side, I had a nice Peppery Biscuit and Gravy which was almost a meal in of itself. My wife ordered the Chicken Salad Sandwich which is one of her favorites from the Dinner Menu. Both were excellent. Almost ordered the California Benedict but will save that for next time Service was very good. They do a good job following the Pandemic Protocols and sanitize after each customer. Will be back again in the near future.

We were at this restaurant before and had issues with both entrees (the shrimp was not deveined and the gravy on the mashed potatoes was warm but the potatoes were ice cold), but my hubby loves the meatloaf so we thought we'd give it another try. I understand restaurants are experiencing staff shortages, but the restaurant was not busy. We waited quite a while for the server to come to greet us. He was not friendly and did not introduce himself. They delivered food to our table that didn't belong to us. They took the plates to the right table, but their order was incorrect. After 45 min and counting, we still didn't have our food, including a starter salad. They finally brought out two entrees but one was completely wrong. The manager came out to ask what the order was and said it wasn't what they inputted. The food was good once we got the right stuff so i gave it three stars. The manager did apologize and offered to comp the dinner and dessert which was very much appreciated. read more

Phenomenal Shrimp and Grits. Best in Charlotte. Fantastic service too. The owners and staff are over the top, attentive, polite. Refreshing. Chicken Piccata---Meh... Good but not remarkable. Burgers look phenomenal. I only saw them and did not order one. The only reason I can not give a 5 out of 5 is the experience with dessert. Avoid the flavorless cheesecake. Not at all good. It's missing lemon, vanilla, sugar--Not sure. Flavorless. Management gave us another slice. Same... We are going back to try other dishes because the management is vested in improving. read more

Fresh Chef has won our hearts and our taste buds. Meatloaf Monday is a constant with my husband and me. We never thought we could find meatloaf this good in a restaurant. The soups are the thing that draws me back. I'm a lover of soup. Last night I had spicy corn chowder and a house salad with their homemade creamy garlic salad dressing. This dressing is a notch above ranch dressing. The customer service at Fresh Chef is top notch.

My girlfriend and kids joined me here with good expectations. Little did I know that if you don't look like you have money, you aren't paid any attention. The manager walked by our table about 4 times while we had empty watered down drinks, my son vocalized his want for ketchup, and the table next to us even noticed what terrible service we were getting. Although the manager stopped by their table over 5 times while we were there. Over priced, obvious bad attentiveness, will NOT be back. Ever.

I'm not sure what all the hoopla is about this place, it's OK but nothing special. Their chicken salad sandwich and blackened chicken sandwich are decent and the salads are good at lunchtime. A friend really loves their scallop appetizer and French onion soup. At dinner the prices are a bit steep and the service is not always great, especially if you are with a large group. A friend asked about the bbq ribs and was told they were beef so he decided to try them...when they were brought they were pork spare ribs. The portion was small and he left hungry. We haven't tried their breakfast yet so can't comment on that. Overall, the food is good but there are other places that I like better with better prices, better service and better server knowledge of the menu. read more

When she asked for some on the side, they were "all out".. of fruit..!! Coffee was weak and mediocre. Service was ok. Love the atmosphere and outdoor seating. Such a cute breakfast place and that's why they'll always be busy, but I wish we spent our money somewhere else. Oh and $4.00 per coffee. That's insane

Go to a high end sushi place before you argue with me. This place ain't high end, it's barely off the ground.

The place is very clean. When I came back, my food was ready and it was hot! I live less than 2 minutes away. When I got home the food was still nice and hot. It was two thin pieces of flounder, 3 hush puppies and fries. The fish was the best part of the meal, but very thin. The container of coleslaw was not good at all. I tried to like it, but it tasted almost soured. I ended up throwing everything away except the fish. I couldn't even finish the hush puppies and fries. I may try another dish on another day, but I don't recommend this meal

We were the last to finish our food before closing, and he told us not to rush, which I really appreciated. We ordered the Famous French Toast -- it comes with a lot of slices -- along with a side of smoked sausage, a breakfast sandwich with breakfast potatoes, and an extra order of breakfast potatoes to go with my French toast. For drinks, we had an apple cider mimosa and a Hawaiian sunrise mimosa. Everything was delicious! I was initially unsure about the portion size of the smoked sausages since they're cut up, but it ended up being just right. The breakfast potatoes were crispy -- you honestly don't even need ketchup. The mimosas were strong too, so you'll definitely get your money's worth. Overall, a great brunch experience with friendly service and good vibes.

The Garlic Parm is my favorite flavor with Ranch Dipping Sauce although the Blue Cheese is excellent as well. Plenty of chucks of Blue Cheese in it. Place is very clean in the same building as a gas station so you may miss it at first. Friendly staff and very clean inside. Highly recommend if you like Wings or Subs.

They used to have a sign that said "No WiFi, talk to each other," But didn't see it this time around. Anyways, Linebergers is a great spot to eat at if you are looking for some good food in the Lake Norman-Mooresville area. This is a fairly casual steakhouse, so if you don't dress up you won't be the odd ball in the room, but you certainly have a choice. Every server is fantastic. They are friendly, they treat you like family, and are quick. To my knowledge, almost every entree comes with a trip to the salad bar. They have the BEST salad bar. DO NOT SKIP ON THE SALAD BAR! They also give you warm rolls with "Texas Roadhouse style" honey butter to start. I highly recommend the prime rib as an entree. Don't get me wrong, it's not the absolute best prime rib I have ever had, but it is up there. It has great flavor, is seasoned well, and is tender. Their creamy horseradish is just ok, but that does not ruin the quality of the meat. The last couple of times they put chopped onions in my mac-and-cheese, which was weird and didn't taste good at all, but luckily this time there were no chopped onions. Both my older and younger cousins got the mac-and-cheese also, and one said that the cheese was too bland, while the other said that the cheese was too strong (sharp). Me personally I think that it is on the more bland side, so Linebergers can take that advice and apply it into their recipe, but nonetheless it is still good. They have the best dessert called the "Lake Norman Mudd Pie," which is essentially a layer of vanilla, coffee, and chocolate ice cream with hot fudge, whipped cream, and Oreo pieces. It is a good treat to have every once in a while, but is rich!! But, if you want a sweet treat, I would recommend opting for that. As a summary, the hospitality at Linebergers is unbeatable and has some pretty solid food (don't forget about the incredible salad bar). Once again, if you are in the area, do not miss out. Head to Linebergers! You will not be disappointed.

Waitress wasn't as responsive to us as we would have like since there were about 21 folks in the party. I think she was covering too many tables. I don't think we will back to the restaurant any time soon.
