Love Fresh Kitchen! It was a happy day hearing one was coming to Lakeland. Their whole idea is serving food more "fresh" and healthy. It does taste like real, whole and yummy food. I always enjoy whatever I end up getting here, and have tried a lot of different combos. It's a big fan favorite at my office, they order FK probably several times a month (at least) for lunch. The one bad thing is the parking situation. This place is almost always crazy busy, because it's good, so the parking is always lacking and never easy to navigate. But you can do an online order so you can pick up and go. There's also some nice outdoor seating. read more

Soo good!! Please open some of these in Georgia! I love the concept and would eat here often if it was closer!! Yummy bowls with a variety of bases, toppings, and meats plus every sauce I tried was delicious! read more

Quick food, assembly line style! Another "healthier" dining option. I like the fact that you can see exactly how your meal is being prepared. At Fresh Kitchen your create your bowl my selecting your base, vegetables, protein, and toppings as it's made right in front of you. So you can really customize your bowl anyway you like. Some of my favorite items include the blackened chicken, citrus chicken, salmon, kale slaw, smashed potato cauliflower, sweet potato noodles. I really like the layout and aesthetics of the restaurant. It's always inviting colorful. Staff do their best to keep the line moving. I just wish they would offer other options for vegetables instead of the same vegetables all the time. I can't eat broccoli and the greens beans are tough/hard so I never get them. I'm not a big fan of mushrooms so that really doesn't leave very many vegetable choices for me. I normally double up on the bases in place of the vegetables. I would love to see zucchini, squash, peppers and onions maybe in a sautéed vegetable medley. Or zucchini noodles/spirals. read more

Didn't know what it was when it first came to town but man do I love this food. You can mix and match whatever you want to.. you can get with a sauce you can get it without sauce. We mostly get ours to go and pick up in the drive-thru after ordering online. This location is rather small inside but it's very quaint. Been coming here since it opened in 2023. And the fresh items change as the seasons change so clearly it's fresh. Never got a bad order always fresh always good. read more

Fresh Kitchen - double steak with feta cheese double broccoli citrus avocado double coconut ginger rice and this is the coconut sriracha sauc - New American Near Me - Lakeland, Florida

Food was fresh with lots of choice combinations. The fact that everything was Gluten free was the reason we went in the first place. There are so few places our daughter-in-law can eat but this one was a perfect choice. We ate in and enjoyed our meal and the atmosphere! Wish we had one of these in Georgia! read more

Great food and amazing service. The bowls are great. Shout out to Jackie and Sean for amazing service.

I typically will come to Fresh Kitchen about once a week for lunch. The food is always fresh, and NEVER misses! However, the main reason I come is for the service! Everyone is so nice and smiley, and I'm always asked how my day is going! The cashier, I think her name is Katie, has even remembered my name and order the last few times. I definitely will continue to come back! read more

It's like a healthy version of Chipotle. The food is fresh and they have something for everyone. The service is always friendly and it's a casual, chill place to go to for lunch or dinner. So far, everything I've had has been delicious. read more

Always great always fresh and always a great meal!! We have never had a less than exceptional meal here.

The food was absolutely delicious. The service was great and the atmosphere was very nice and clean. Not much I can say about this place. But it took me by surprise. I wish we had one of these in Georgia. The next time I'm in the Tampa area I will definitely go back to fresh kitchen read more

Wanted a nice light healthy bite and this restaurant didn't disappoint! The restaurant was brigh clean and welcoming! As I stood in line I could see chicken actually being grilled on a huge grill in back! I the. Knew that the food was going to be exceptional! I was right it did not disappoint! Due to me being a bariatric patient I opted for the kids meal. I got coconut ginger rice, lemon broccoli and blackened chicken. The flavors were out of this world but I could tell it wasn't overly processed! Nice straight forward clean food!!!! I truly wish we had one of these in Columbia South Carolina! Those other places wouldn't stand a chance! read more

Not your typical fast food or chipotle. The ingredients are fresh and clean. I didn't try the rice but was told that it didn't have much flavor. The sauces you can choose from make up for any flavor lacking. This place was clean and had amble space for sitting, both inside and outside. I Will definitely go back to try something different. read more

Excellent food and good system of ordering. Coconut rice is amazing! Will come back over and over!

I wanted to love this 3 month old restaurant in Lakeland but it was just okay for me. I reviewed options before going in and still found it a little complex to order/choose. I thought it was going to be a HOT bowl but nothing was hot--it was luke at best. I found it a mishmash of too many different seasonings not joining well in the bowl. The hottest warm item in the dish was the spicy cauliflower rice, smothered by cold sweet potato noodles, broccoli not hot, bbq chicken not hot, kale sauce too much- overwhelming. Glad I tried it, not likely to return. Nice to see them doing a great drive-thru and catering business while I was there. LIKES. concept, freshness, individual items, ingredients posted online, some flavorful choices. Comes in the bowl it will "to go" in if you don't finish. They inform you about add-ons costing prior to adding to your bowl. DISLIKES. 3 item bowl only for kids. No calories stated. 4 item bowl requires 2 bases--either 2 diff rices, a double rice or "hot" rice/cold noodles. They didn't segment the items in the dish for ME to combine, just slopped in. They over did the "sauce"-good flavor-but overwhelmed the dish. Get it on the side so you can control it! Too many items have allergens like sriracha, soy or cumin. Overwhelming salt feel in mouth. Low portion control--don't want a giant carb meal. $11 cheapest meal. Add-ons run cost up. Behind the counter too crowded with staff cheek to cheek, each serving one dish, refilling bowls, etc. One feels stressed in the line wondering if they're keeping orders straight. The "ambiance" was loud and frenetic. Few eat-in customers but busy place and parking lot. read more

My new favorite spot for lunch!! The food is healthy but most importantly tastes DELICIOUS. I love the fact they use 100% olive oil because my stomach doesn't sit very well with canola or vegetable oil. Will definitely be a regular here! read more

Fresh Kitchen - Blacked chicken bowl - New American Near Me - Lakeland, Florida

I lived walking distance from the original FK in South Tampa when it's built so I've been fan from the very beginning. Simply stated: same great quality, same great service. We visited this location not long after it opened. They totally botched our order, but they did fix it and then gave us coupons for 2 free bowls for a future visit. One weird thing about this location is that mobile orders can only be picked up in the drive through even though the front door says skip the line and order online as if you can grab your food inside. Not a big deal if you know. You might wait 20 minutes too long like we did if you don't realize. read more

The food is suoer fresh and tasty! The options are limited, but its really all you need. Their food is so flavorful I didnt need any sauce. My recommendation is to ask for the sauces on the side. This location recently opened - so everytime I went it was packed - which is a good sign. Dont be afraid - the line moves quickly. Parking kind of sucks bc its way behind the restaurant. read more

Food was ok at best but small portions and overpriced. Not a value at all, we won't be back. There are many other restaurants in Lakeland with similar items that are better and a much better value read more

Tried this place out. It was pleasantly seasoned and filling. I'm a fan. I ordered online. So I picked up my order in their online only drive thru. The wait wasn't long and the exterior was clean. The servers were very friendly and efficient. A great alternative to the fast foodies. Blackened chicken, mashed cauliflower, spinach, broccoli with ginger sauce. read more

Great healthy and delicious food. They cook in olive oil and everything is fresh. Quick and healthy meal.

This has been my third time coming to this location and every time it has been fine, until today... I got food poisoning

Such a cool new gem in Lakeland. Service was fast even though the line was long. The restaurant itself was clean, modern and inviting. The only critique I would have is the options for the bases were ok and the portions were a little small for the price. Overall, a great healthy option for lunch. read more

Fresh Kitchen - 4 bowl with green beans, cauliflower mash, kale Caesar and walnut chicken - New American Near Me - Lakeland, Florida

I always loved coming here and eating cause it filled me up and everything was fresh but just ate there last night and something in the chicken didn't taste right well at least one piece I ate and my husband said it was kind of soft and hard with a couple pieces he ate which was the blackened chicken but everything else was good and we were hungry so we ate everything and didn't pay much attention to it but like a few hours later after I ate my stomach was cramping really bad and was on the toilet all Night but woke up better I don't know what happened I haven't eaten there in a long while and I was fine before we came my stomach was so hungry and then this happened but I also noticed new people working there and the menu changed a bit I seen the name wasn't a 1 base bowl anymore it was something else but I don't remember so I really hope this gets better and not worse cause this is a business I used to love but I'm not coming back there's a new place in Brandon I'd rather eat at that's similar so thank you anyways !!! read more

Very similar to Cava. The flavors were great and you can control how healthy you eat. Nice way to end the week. Service was amazing considering there were lines out the door. We didn't wait long and found a place to sit. Comfortable and nice. Sit outside. read more

I tried Fresh Kitchen in Lakeland FL for the first time. I was extremely disappointed with the food. I ordered the 3 option for about $9. The amount of food I received for the price wouldn't feed a child let alone an adult. Half a cup of rice if that. 5 SMALL pieces of broccoli (which wasn't even cooked and was barely warm) and the upgraded steak which was an additional $3.50. In my opinion the steak was decent but not great, as it was moist but also not flavorful. The drinks were very bland from being watered down. I honestly had to go to another restaurant after leaving here to get additional food as I was still hungry. I will not be back. read more

Went for their soft opening where they give free bowls for donations to Lakeland Children's Home. Wasn't sure what to expect but holy smokes it is delicious. Very fresh! I did the 6 bowl which comes with 2 base, 2 veg, 2 proteins, and 1 sauce. I did the seasonal cali rice, sweet potato noodles, sesame green beans, lemon garlic broccoli, herb grilled steak (premium item), seasonal chicken, and holy kale sauce. I also added pics, feta, and kale pesto tomato salad. It's so good. The staff was amazing and super knowledgeable! I'll definitely be back! read more

This was my first time trying Fresh Kitchen. It was so good, the price is up to the quality of the food. The line servers are with you every step of the way & serve your bowls very generously. If you're up for it, for dessert i recommend trying their Chocolate cookies & the Almond milk! This is a very healthy spot to eat, will make sure to come back again!! read more

Went yesterday to a nice place to eat. The food is fresh. To me some items are over seasoned. The steak was cooked medium rare but over seasoned. A $3.50 add on. BBQ chicken had way too much salt, and sauce on it. Plus over cooked burnt flavor to it. Parmesan cheese is a$.50 add-on. I'm not a fan of the Paleo cookies either. To each their own. Two meals plus add ons and a moo free drink $37.33 not a cheap place to eat. I might eat there again or maybe 1/2 times a year. The mushrooms are the best I've had in years. Sorry I didn't tip. I don't know if the money went to the restaurant or to employees. Maybe both? read more
