    This health-conscious counter service chain located in Gainesville outside the Oaks mall offers scratch-made, seasonally inspired meals. They have twelve locations in Florida. I had the four bowl no protein $11.25. I chose mushroom, mashed potatoes and green beans over a salad. It was fresh and delicious. The staff were friendly and efficient.

    Perfect for casual healthy dining - Lots of gluten free options- juices and options for customized bowls. Gets pretty packed, but worth the wait! Ambiance is very fresh and inviting! Clean & Fast paced 1000/10 recommend! Side Note: try the sweet potato noodles, literally taste like noodles. I paired it with brown rice!

    Three Bowl

    Ordered for delivery,it was worth it and traveled well. We tried the three bowl: Base-CRUNCHY KALE CAESAR Veggie-MAPLE SWEET POTATOES Protein-GRILLED HERB STEAK And you also get to pick your sauce Everything was delicious and can't wait to try it again.

    Six Bowl

    Fresh Kitchen is in its own building with their own parking lot. The interior has a fun, funky modern feel. The employees were all helpful and friendly. All of the food we ordered had great flavor and tasted very fresh! I walked out feeling full but also good about my food choices vs the feeling I get from eating all the unhealthy options at most restaurants. I wish St. Louis had a location because I would definitely go there all the time!

    I have been a huge fan of fresh kitchen since going to the one in St Pete about 6 years ago! This location is no exception:) The service here was quick and the staff was all very helpful and patient. The ambiance is very nice and clean, with lots of seating as well as a drive thru! The food was delicious as always, and I have never gone wrong with any of the choices. It is a bit pricey, but it's worth it for the quality and portion of food you get.

    I ate here a couple weeks ago with my friends and we all agreed that it was our favorite bowl place in Gainesville. We loved the ambiance and the color scheme of the eatery. Also really liked the subtle incorporation of gators in the design details. It is really cute and they have a nice outdoor seating area as well. It's super clean inside, with plenty of seating available. The service is amazing and so friendly. They are very efficient and do a wonderful job keeping the line moving. While we were finishing up our meal, one of the workers visited our table to make sure we were satisfied with everything. He even offered to take our trash for us. I have nothing but positive things to say about the service, phenomenal! All the food is super fresh and prepared with clean, guilt-free ingredients. They pride themselves in not using seed oils and canola oil, which is awesome. The use of fresh ingredients with healthy oils definitely impacts the taste in a good way. They offer a variety of bowl sizes, which is really convenient. There bases range from grains, to spinach salads and kale slaws, to sweet potato noodles. They also offer a good selection of roasted vegetables including sweet potatoes, broccoli, mushrooms, etc. For protein, they offer multiple types of chicken and tofu. There is an up charge for the steak and salmon, but it is definitely worth it in my opinion. The steak is seared to perfection with a nice medium rare color. You can also top your bowl with a variety of toppings and get dressing. I loved curating my own bowl to my liking. The bowl was filling and had tons of flavor. This place is truly amazing and is a wonderful, healthy option for lunch or dinner. The food bursts of flavor and is made with clean, high quality ingredients. Everything about our experience was great and I'm already planning my next visit!!

    3 bowl: blackened chicken, broccoli and sweet potato noodles

    This was my first time here. I got the 3 bowl with sweet potato noodles, broccoli and blackened chicken with the kale sauce and it was really good. It's refreshing to eat what's considered "fast food" that's on the healthier side. You definitely pay for it though, my bowl was over $9.

    4 bowl: cucumber salad, cauliflower fried rice, curried chickpeas, salmon, chilled sweet potato noodles.

    Shout out to this Gainesville location for the delicious food and the great customer service. I took a small hiatus from Fresh Kitchen. While traveling on to Tampa, I stopped off at this location. It's very close to the exit on i75. I ordered a bowl to go and honestly the flavors were delicious and the salmon was not dry. Everyone was friendly and the bathroom was clean. So if I'm traveling, I would consider this again.

    4 bowl, those kale tomatoes are an amazing addition

    Another amazing meal at fresh kitchen. Super quick to get the custom bowl. Delicious food, sweet potato noodles, the broccoli, and kale tomatoes are some of my most favorite items. Full of flavor.

    Baked almond chicken, spinach, green beans, sweet potatoes.

    It has been a minute since I've visited Bolay and man have I been missing out! Bolay caters towards…read moreserving customers fresh, healthy, and customizable "bols". Their ingredients are all very fresh and whole food focused. They pride themselves in using primarily olive oil for all their cooking--which I absolutely LOVE. The staff is always super helpful and very friendly. This particular location is also kept very clean, which is always appreciated. The portion sizes are always very filling as well. Some may consider the food to be more expensive, but I think it is fair. Especially compared to other eateries around (that are the same price), Bolay's quality and quantity easily justify the price. I always order a large Bol. The large bol consists of 4 greens, grains, or vegetables, 2 proteins, 3 toppings, and an optional sauce. I usually opt for a grain, a green, and 2 vegetables for the base. I find this to balance the bol out the most. My bol consisted of 100% whole grain black rice, chopped kale salad, garlic broccoli, roasted sweet potatoes, signature steak, rotisserie chicken thigh, pickled onions, feta, and chimichurri tomatoes. Their rice is always cooked to perfect and I enjoy their jasmine rice a lot. But the black rice was new to me. I'm so glad I tried it as it had a lot of flavor. A "nuttier" taste with a slightly stickier consistency, it was really good. You can never go wrong with any of their salads, broccoli, or sweet potatoes. The vegetables are always cooked perfectly! Seasoned just right, they are never dry, and have good texture. I definitely credit this to the fact they use olive oil to cook all their vegetables. Another thing I ALWAYS order is their signature steak. While this is a $3.75 up-charge, it is 100% worth it. The medium rare cook on the steak never fails and the portion is generous. I also tried the rotisserie chicken thigh for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed that too. I never order a sauce for my bols as I find the food has enough flavor itself. All in all, I need to go to Bolay more frequently next semester. A great, healthy option that fills you up and doesn't leave you feeling bloated--they offer so many great options! You can tell they use fresher ingredients and better cooking methods, which I greatly appreciate. The vegetables are delicious, the proteins are tender, and the portions are large. I think this one of the better lunch or dinner options in midtown. You are paying for higher quality food and getting more out of it compared to other places around. Cannot wait for my next visit come August!

    Flavorful and ample options. Never seems to be super crowded which is good if you're in a rush and…read moreneed a healthy meal.
