This has become a very favorite go-to for date night with my lovely wife. The kale salad is delicious, the spinach & artichoke dip appetizer is a standard for us, and I tend to move between the ribs, the Hawaiian chicken sandwich (or wrap) or salmon as an entree. I can't think of something I've had there in many visits that has disappointed me. Staff is very friendly. It can get crowded very quickly at lunch or dinner, because seating is relatively limited. read more

Picked up lunch here for the 1st time yesterday!! AMAZING!! Don't know how I missed this wee spot!! Caesar Salad was awesome!! Lots of fresh garlic... & homemade dressing, an unusual item these days & $4!! My husband & I shared, a salad, tomato basil soup each (delish) & Fettucine Alfredo for a little over $20!! Awesome place, we will be back SOON!! read more

Excellent good - easy takeout and a great half price wine night! Perfect amount of menu options from salads to wraps to pasta!

Love this place! Always fresh healthy food. I like the Kale salad with grilled salmon, YUM!!! Everything is good. Mushrooms are excellent as well, a must! So glad to have this little gem in our town! read more

Food is EXCELLENT hands down - period! The ambience makes you feel like you're at home, then on top of that the staff is actually like family. read more

We found Fresh Chef Kitchen via Yelp and so glad we did. The salads were all excellent with homemade dressings and fresh ingredients. The wraps were also excellent. My son had the fettuccine Alfredo and it was fantastic. read more

I come here every week because I'm addicted to the fresh taste!!! I even convinced my husband to come a few times and he agrees!! They let you pull up the car and they bring the food to you when you have a to go order. I always get the salmon wrap it's hard to choose anything else from what you're addicted to!! My husband ventured into the burger and he loved the fresh taste. He also had the steak wrap. But nothing beats the warm salmon wrap. I get grilled asparagus on the side. He gets fries. Another thing that I love is they do not carry your average chicken fingers, chicken nuggets, macaroni and cheese, etc. that most children order. They actually create the dishes that the adults eat to make them children friendly to contribute to the Health of the child!! Love this place. read more

I have eaten here for lunch and dinner and enjoyed both of my meals very much. It is nice to have a restaurant where you can enjoy fresh food with healthy options. I have had the blackened chicken salad and the grilled herb shrimp entrée and my husband tried the blackened chicken entrée. All three were very tasty. I love the cilantro rice that accompanied our entrée dishes. I will have to try the kale salad next as a few friends have highly recommended it. Also, the chef and staff are personable and make you feel appreciated. read more

My husband and I came to have dinner tonight. He had the filet stir fry and I had the salmon with cilantro rice. As always the food was outstanding, the service was great. We have been coming in for years now and there has been a consistent change in management. But today we met Gigi. She was wonderful! It was like talking to our granddaughter! Our server, Shannon, was very sweet. Needless to say, we look forward to coming in more often now that it's in better shape! read more

Fresh Chef is the perfect food to take-out for a simple, delicious dinner. Some dishes can be pricey, but I've never had a bad experience in my many years of coming here. Food is fresh, clean, and supremely tasty. I especially adore the "Black and Bleu" wrap; its dressing is killer! read more

Doesn't matter whether you're there for lunch or dinner, you won't be disappointed. Portions are huge so even if you normally don't share, think about it.... or, just enjoy the leftovers! read more

We have eaten here several times and NEVER disappointed!!! The food is fresh, salmon and hamburger cooked to the perfect temperature that we order (medium). Kale salad is unbelievably delicious!!! We come here every time that we are in Cornelius (once a month) and will continue to do so. Nothing bad to say. read more

Food is delicious. Inside is pretty small space, so we get take out a lot. Always very friendly.

Friendly staff paired with fresh delicious hot food is always a winning combination. I've ordered the blackened chicken salad twice; both times were a hit! The salad is enough for two meals! I would also recommend the fresh guac and the grilled asparagus. The icing on the cake for this place would be a breakfast or weekend brunch menu...yummmm. read more

Not at all what I expected. The fish smell was awful. I ordered Shrimp and Grits. It was so heavy with cheese I could not enjoy any other flavor. Not sure what their specialty is read more

Came for lunch and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and amazing people there! It's rare to see owners talking to patrons and excited to have you come in and a staff that is just as hospitable. Teriyaki wrap was delicious with fresh ingredients! Congrats on the new space! read more

First time here, and let me say- it's amazing!! I came with my fiancé and brother in law, we were warmly greeted, helped promptly by our server, our food came out quickly and was delicious, all around winner! I had the Hawaiian chicken salad which was fabulous and they had the blackened wrap & steak wrap- both with good reports! Will come again! read more

I continue to just feel so at home, comforted by the standard delicious and fresh favorites, and like the bang for my buck is so worth it here! The owners know what they are doing here- everything is super fresh! This place is small which I'm assuming is a great move rent to dinners out the door ratio wise. Im excited to see what the future location in Mooresville will bring ! Love love love their salmon... And their half price wine on Thursdays ;) I'm lacking one star on this review because I do wish they had a larger variety of appetizers but I assume this is due to the rule that everything is fresh and the limited space. read more

I met a friend here for lunch about a week ago, I had the salmon salad over kale which was absolutely delicious. A little pricey but that's what you get for quality food. I can't get enough of this place. I have been here 3 times since and will continue to come here regularly. The servers have all been awesome! Great customer service. Thank you. read more

I frequent Fresh Chef with my girlfriends for lunch quite a bit. Almost everyone in my group orders a Kale Salad of some sort. I order the Kale with a piece of salmon on top. Phenomenal. The Kale dressing can differ from time to time but I don't mind. Sometimes it's a bit more spicy; sometimes a bit more lemon-y. But all in all you cannot go wrong with it. Even if you meal comes with a side, feel free to order a Kale Salad as your side so you can try it! It will not disappoint. I'm now trying to master their dressing at home ;) It's only four ingredients. Other recommendations are any of the wraps, salmon dinner, the trout. Do not go with a big group, it's a very small location. Most of the time you have to wait but they are really good getting you in and out. You can tell why this restaurant is #2 in all of Cornelius! ps It's half price wine on Thursdays!! read more

Excellent, fresh food, big portions, great prices and extremely friendly staff! My family felt comfortable and taken care of! This is the place to go! Thank you Fresh Chef Kitchen Staff! You Rock! read more

My friend and I love Fresh Chef. Only thing is, every time we go, the service is weak. Prime example, last night our server brought out 2 waters and no one took our order for 15 minutes. Every table around us got sat after us, and all of their orders were already taken. We sat outside, it is SUMMER time, everyone is going to want to sit outside now, so there is no excuse as to why a server didn't get to take an order outside. We went after the dinner crowd already came so it wasn't busy at all. Another server who waited a table next to us heard us discussing getting up and going elsewhere and that's when our order was taken. Sad. The food always makes up for the service, but it shouldn't ever be that way. Every time we're here something is comped off our check. Get it together, Fresh Chef! read more

Food is amazing! I have been here twice and the food has always been good. However after today I will not be back. When my mom and I walked in a lady did not greet us, instead she just pointed to a table and walked away. The waitress never smiled, never asked if we needed anything and only came back to the table to bring the check. If I were giving a review on the food I would give it a five. read more

I absolutely LOVE this place. The food is OUTSTANDING. Looks are deceiving as it is located in a strip mall, but the food and robust menu is hard to beat. We often make a special trip to this place even though it's not very convenient to do so as it's not close to where we live. Great place for health conscious eaters. read more

Food is phenomenal and service is fantastic. We heard so much hype about the kale salad so I ordered it as a side to my blackened Cajun chicken pasta- both are amazing! We dined here for Sunday lunch and enjoyed the outdoor seating. My group ordered the Hawaiian chicken sandwich, blackened chicken caesar wrap & the blackened salmon salad. Everyone loved their selections but agreed that the pasta took the cake! I'm so glad we finally tried this place out! read more

Once you walk into fresh chef, you will not leave hungry. It is a little pricey but the portion and quality makes up for it. My favorite sandwich there is the grilled chicken pineapple sandwich with asparagus. #neverfails #10/10 #friendlystaff read more

A coworker bought me some take out for lunch this week from this restaurant after raving about how delicious it was, and she did not steer me wrong. She brought me the Cajun pasta with blackened chicken and toast and MAN was it delicious. Spicy, yes, and definitely heartburn-inducing, but as a self-proclaimed Italian connoisseur/expert, this dish was just as good as any other high price Italian restaurant in Charlotte. The only down side (obviously not enough to tip my review down to 4 stars) were the prices - almost twice what I would typically pay for a lunchtime menu. But so worth it. read more

Wow! It's a small restaurant but nothing small about the flavors. I had the best chicken parmesan I have ever eaten and I've enjoyed my share of chicken parm over the years. Service was excellent and I highly recommend this small restaurant with big smiles. read more

Phenomenal food and staff. I love the teriyaki filet steak. It is wonderful on the Hawaiian salad. Everything is FRESH! Shrimp and grits is off the charts. Love the key lime pie. Yummy read more

Got the smoked salmon wrap with fries. Perfect amount of aioli and salmon. Also, quick service. Will be headed back for lunch again soon!

Wow! Great little find. Unbelievable food for dinner. Had the Corvina (Sea Bass) special, fantastic, huge portions. Highly recommend!

Cozy place, friendly staff, and great food. Had the salmon cakes tonight and they were amazing. Highly recommend it!

One of my favorites! Great selection of foods! I always get the salmon! It's my favorite! Doesn't matter which you select: grilled, in a wrap etc all excellent! Excellent customer service! read more

A great local restaurant with fresh good food & excellent service. I appreciate no freezers, house made salad dressing & fresh food. I am so happy to have a local place where I can grab soup & salad for lunch & it's fresh and chemical/package/junk free. read more

I've only had the pleasure to dine in their new Mooresville location but the food fresh like their name. The grilled salmon salad is very good. Great customer service by the manager and the staffs. read more

I had the swordfish tacos and a side salad for my first time there and it was fantastic! Everything tasted so fresh and good. Not only was the food tasty, the service was great and made it an overall great experience. read more

I very rarely take the time to write a Yelp review. But I couldnt resist for Fresh Chef. The only problem with this place is how addictive it is. it's becoming a problem for me. It is just the freshest, yummiest food no matter what you order. I have tried many items on this menu and have genuinely been AMAZED by how good all of them are!! LOVE this restaurant! read more

I recently tried Fresh Chef and decided to be boring, only ordering a burger. The burger was cooked exactly how I ordered it. It was a nice portion, with quality meat and a fresh bun. The fries would have been equally as good but were slightly undercooked. My girlfriend ordered a salmon wrap and loved it. The staff was extremely friendly, from our server to the cooks. We will be coming back! read more

You can't go wrong with any owner who cares about the food and the customers, as much as he does. He also came out with a few jokes and the conversation was as enjoyable as the food. We were given some great food recommendations and the food was wonderful. I will be back read more

Great healthy food and excellent service. Owner is very personable and chats with all patrons. Rare in today's world and it was very refreshing. I would love to see him open more restaurants on the area. read more
