So surprised! What a hidden gems. The ribs were great, the artichoke dip was great, the brussel sprouts were great and the service was great. We will return for some of their specials read more

Since they have moved to Stevens Mill the food has been consistent and is excellent. Most of the wait staff are good. There's one waitress with braces that should be avoided. She doesn't come back to check on the tables and when she is there she's very distracted by other staff. It's annoying. Otherwise the staff are nice & jump in to pick up her slack. I do recommend it. The patio is also very nice. read more

Food was very good. I ordered Black & Blue Filet wrap and a side of asparagus. I would definitely recommend and order again from this establishment. read more

I love this place! I eat here once a week. I'm new to Charlotte and staying in an Airbnb with no kitchen until I move into my apartment. Fresh Chef is a good value price wise and the food is sooo good. The best part - they're pretty consistent! My fav thing is that if I add a little note (ex: sauce on side) they always honor it. Those little things go a long way as far as customer service goes. My fav is the Hawaiian chicken anything. LoL. Highly recommend! read more

Absolutely fantastic! Eggs Benedict were delicious and the breakfast sandwich was excellent too. The service was exceptional. Great brunch spot! read more

The food is always wonderful and the wait staff aims to please. However the host should ask waiting patrons if they are interested in certain seating options before automatically seating others who came in much later in those available seats. No read more

Good menu choices for breakfast and brunch. We got a little bit of everything! Eggs and steak, cheeseburger, salad, avocado toast and BLT. Everything is great. The avocado toast was slightly delayed so the manager deducted the cost. That was over and above what a customer would expect! We would definitely return. read more

I ordered takeout from here. While the service for curbside was fast the food was not worth the price. I ordered the teriyaki filet, Medium rare. Instead I got something closer to medium well. I could not taste the teriyaki at all because it was so charred on the outside. This is not the first time I have had this steak and every time before, it was juicy and tender with an amazing teriyaki flavor. I am very disappointed. read more

I hadn't heard about this place, but decided to stop while in the area. I'm so glad I did. The food was AMAZING! Everything is so fresh and to top it off the service was above par. My server, Rebecca, was so great. She was so pleasant and welcoming. Next, both managers, Jacque and Frankie, stopped by to thank us for coming in. They were engaging and just made us feel appreciated. I ordered the meatloaf and let me say that it was really good. We also got strawberry shortcake and they gave us some chicken salad to take home and try (which was really good as well). Everything about this experience was great. We learned that there are no freezers in the kitchen and everything is made fresh daily, hence the name. That's why everything taste so fresh, because it is lol. I know I'll be back. There are lots of other menu items I want to try. read more

Stopped in for breakfast this AM. It was a bit late for us and there were only 2 other couples. Clean and neat. I ordered the Ham Omelette with a side of fruit and rye toast with whipped butter that my hubby eats because I'm GF. Hubby got the Breakfast Bowl with diced potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and onions, cheese and 2 eggs on top. Both were served hot. My omelette was stuffed with ham and cheese. I could only finish 1/2. Hubby enjoyed 1/2 of the Breakfast Bowl and the rye toast. Service was good. Note- you pay less if you use cash. Credit cards are charged price listed on menu. read more

This is an amazing restaurant, serving tapas in the Spanish style but all kinds of flavors and varieties. My wife and daughter came here with our realtor several months ago when first visiting Charlotte. It's a great place to share food, you kind of want to order one or two things, enjoy them, and then order something else. My favorites were the chicken wings and the macaroni and cheese. There are so many options I'm not sure you can go wrong. It reminds me of Greene, Texas, with the grist mill locale and vibe. We were able to get a reservation in advance, that is definitely a good idea on busy nights. Waxhaw is a really quaint community, this was my first time to visit. Can't wait to go back! I think this will probably be a restaurant we will bring friends and family to in the future! read more

Fantastic! This is a wonderful restaurant! Food and service is wonderful! Prices are just perfect !

My husband and I are fairly new to the area and we have been trying different restaurants in the area. Tonight we tried Fresh Chef and we were thoroughly pleased. I got the pesto chicken, and it didn't disappoint! The food had amazing taste. My husband got the Cajun chicken and he said it was so good! The atmosphere was amazing and the service was top notch, I never had to ask for a refill on my drink. They also opened the door for us as we walked up! You do not see that anywhere else! We will be coming back!!!! I cannot wait to try more of their items. read more

Not a huge salad lover but I ordered one here and actually crave it sometimes. Some things seem slightly over priced but other than that so good! read more

Absolutely incredible food! The French onion soup is amazing. My main meal was the blackened shrimp with garlic aioli, cilantro rice and pico. The garlic aioli was fantastic. Everything was super simple yet flavorful. Very wholesome restaurant with generous portions. There are multiple locations around the Charlotte area. The staff was great at the one we went to in Matthews, very sweet and attentive. My friend got a blackened chicken wrap and loved it. Great menu options. I would go back in a heart beat. read more

Not Contemporary to new diners, however they need to know their menu a lot better than most. $18 dollar for herb shrimp pasta without the Pasta?? What?? Excuse me? Good thing we check this before embarking on out!! It's not a good first impression but there is room for..... read more

Stopped in for breakfast one day and had the California Benedict. Now I'm hooked and stuck in a breakfast rut. Been back six times just for this. A shame as I haven't tried anything else but have to assume, based on this, that the other menu options are just as good. Great friendly staff and attentive manager plus good food. Definitely a five star for me. read more

We eat here all the time and the food is always outstanding! Their salads are HUGE and you can never go wrong with the grilled chicken, black and blue filet, or grill salmon salads! You can't go wrong with any thing on the menu. I especially like the chicken marsala, cajun trout, or the grilled salmon. read more

The food is excellent. Atmosphere is lacking and the service is poor. They need to train their staff. The servers are young and don't have a clue what good service is. It's a shame because the food is really good. If they don't improve they won't make it in the long run. read more

My husband I wanted to check bout the local restaurant and we really enjoyed the food the service. From the moment we walked on we were greeted until we walked out. The tuna appetizer was cooked perfectly. I did get a chance to take a picture of our other entrees. We had Salmon with cilantro rice and broccoli. Our waiter Gabriel was the epitome of a waiter service. He came to the table smiling and constantly checking in . We will definitely be back. read more

Discovered that Our usual breakfast place was closed for three weeks and found this place instead. So happy to have a new breakfast place! Yummy food. Great staff. Love it when the universe pushes you to look elsewhere! read more

Always good food and had great service. Our waiter was excellent. I believe his name was Deshawn.

If you haven't eaten here yet, you most definitely should. I've had several meals here in the past month. I loved the French Dip packed with juicy sliced beef. The ham and cheese omelets are also delicious, stuffed with tasty ham and melted cheddar. Cheeseburgers are awesome as well as the Italian subs. I've got my eye on the breakfast benedicts for my next tastebud adventure. Not only is the food great but the staff is super friendly and the service is excellent! My favorite waitress is Christy, so fun and friendly. Go check them out. read more

Food is good. Love their salads. Especially the Kale salad. Friendly staff. Great atmosphere.

Always enjoy eating at The FreshChef. Burgers are cooked right and condiments etc always fresh. My only complaint the last 2 times are the fries. While I love shoe string fries, they have been very soggy and soft. They should be crisp and not hang like a wet noodle when you hold one. We will still continue to visit and maybe we will need to order the fries extra crispy. read more

Great place. Food was fantastic and the service was great. Would definitely return. Character limit.

The staff is always friendly and the food is great! We have eaten at locations in Matthews, Conover, and Rock Barn. We are never disappointed and always leave extremely satisfied! Keep up the great work Fresh Chef!!! read more

Good food. Good service. Competitive pricing. Recommend this location. Try the lasagna read more

I came in on a Monday and got take out. It was so delicious! And the staff was very nice.

This was our first time at Fresh Chef and we recently moved to the area and went by this a few times shopping, but Fresh Chef sounded like a salad place or maybe even a deli in my mind for some reason, and boy was I wrong, this is a great restaurant! My wife actually suggested trying it out this evening so I looked it up online and found a menu and thought OK they have regular food I can do this. I ended up getting the Black and Blue Ribeye and it was truly amazing, it came with asparagus and fries both of those were also delicious. My wife and daughter shared a Fettuccine Alfredo with grilled chicken and both said it was very good as well. We wanted to try desert but portions and taste combined to make that impossible, I didn't want a box, I wanted to finish it!! Also the wait staff were very friendly and helped each other out, if someone who was not our server saw my drink almost empty they asked what I had and brought out a new one, terrific teamwork! Really no complaints, it is a little pricey but I would still highly recommend trying the place out if you have not been! It is well worth it. read more

Small Portions spent $20 on shrimp and grits and had to go to McDonald's on the way home. Was excited about a seafood place local but high price with small Portion very disappointed read more

Highly recommend! Fresh Chef is one of our go-to favorites. The food and service are excellent. The ribs are fall off the bone tender and the salads are fresh and crisp. We've tried about half the menu and it's all great! read more

I was visiting for work and found this restaurant. Excellent food and service. Their shrimp and grits were great and a good portion size.

Good food and drinks at good prices. Service is on par. Could use a few more tvs so people have options of what to watch. Duo Dip and deserts are the standouts. Chicken salad sandwich and kale salad are outstanding. read more

First visit. Little bit of a wait but hostess kept us updated and was very friendly. My friend ordered Cajun trout. Came with cilantro rice and broccoli. Trout was good and broccoli and as fresh and cooked perfect. I ordered the Portobello sandwich. It's served with fries and kale which I substituted with grilled asparagus. Good choice too. The sandwich was soooo good. Really flavorful. Our server, Emily was great. Sweet and friendly. Wonderful service. Overall pleased and will come back for sure. read more

Good menu options, went for dinner and got the chicken and waffles special. Service was good and prompt and the food came out fresh and warm. The chicken was nice and crispy and moist. The waffle was cooked nicely as well. My only complaint is that it was very bland. There was no flavor even with the butter, the syrup and drowning it in Texas Pete. That would be my only recommendation. Establishment was clean as well. Nice spot to come get a warm southern meal. read more

10/10!!! My mom and I came for breakfast on a non breakfast day (we didn't know!). The manager, Bryan, and his team which included: Sam, Emily, and Sarah, we're great. They still made us the breakfast that we wanted and had great attitudes while doing so. The nicest people ever and the food was GREAATTT. (We are foodies so please believe us LOL). We will definitely be back! Thank you! read more
