In need of a quick healthier lunch option, we grabbed a quick bite to eat at Fresh Kitchen. I was pretty excited by the prospect of something tasty but without all the guilt of a super filling meal. I ordered a six bowl, which has 2 bases, 2 proteins, 2 veggies and a sauce. I also added an extra veggie, because I just couldn't resist the roasted sweet potatoes. It's basically an upgraded Chipotle, which is apparent in the premium prices. Even so, I was so happy with my meal, especially the Holy Kale sauce! read more

I love this fresh kitchen location. I have used them many times for catering. Dawn is their catering sales manager and always has everything ready on time! Fresh kitchen is so consistent throughout their locations. I have been met time and time again with friendly staff, and great fresh food! I would highly recommend using fresh kitchen to cater your next gathering. Or just stop in for a great meal! read more

Fresh Kitchen is just the place for fresh food that is fast, but definitely not fast food! Pick a bowl and load it up with healthy options like rice, greens, and chicken or tofu. The line looked long when I came on a weekday recently, but I actually got through it pretty quickly. I chose a 4-bowl of spinach, spice rice, green beans, and teriyaki chicken. I wish the green beans were cooked more, as they were on the extra crunchy side. Also the beans and rice were a bit cold when they were served. Positive is that I didn't burn my mouth on them. The parking situation in Waterford can get a bit crazy, so be patient with that. There are high chairs and a changing table in the women's restroom for babies. Score for moms! Price wise, I think it's fair since the food is mostly fresh vegetables and meats. Fresh Kitchen is on my go-to list of healthy food options in the Waterford Lakes area! read more

Love their bowls, always fresh and tasty, I order usually for delivery. Love the chicken and sweet potato noodles.

This location is amazing! I come here often and I'm always happy to see some employees there, like Mourad, who's always extremely positive and welcoming. I also got recommended their cookies by one of the girls who work there and they are AMAZING and somewhat (maybe even) healthy, so win-win. Highly recommend giving this place a try and trying those healthy-ish cookies. Major shoutout to Mourad for making the experience of eating and going there great. I always have a smile on my face when I interact with him, he's a great conversationalist. read more

Food was ok until I saw a hair in my 4 bowl I can't imagine anything more disgusting to destroy an appetite

I used to love eating at fresh kitchen but I am not sure if they changed the whole kitchen staffs or what...the quality of food is not good at all. This is not the first time it happened but I believe in second chances so I gave it another chance. However, this time, I ordered a small bowl with chicken almond, but one of them was definitely undercooked as you can see in the picture. I also had brown rice and sweet potato noodles but rice was hard like they didn't cook properly and noodles tasted really sour and old. Overall I am very disappointed and dissatisfied :(. read more

If you ever find yourself in Waterford Lakes looking for a healthy, refreshing meal then this is the spot for you! I really love this FK location! The food has always been consistent, food is always stocked, and service has been always on point. If you stop in around lunch time on a weekend, expect a good sized crowd. Though the crowd won't be a problem because the order line goes by quickly and there is plenty of seating inside and out. Try some of the healthy cookies or brownies that they serve in the refrigerated case! Their juices are also a must. I love getting the kiddie bowl. It seems to be just the right amount of food for me. My favorite combo is: sweet potato noodles, broccoli and almond chicken. When ordering you are able to try some of their foods to see if you'd like to add them to your bowl - just ask! read more

Upon the suggestion of my daughter, we headed to Fresh Kitchen to grab some takeout. Fresh Kitchen is located in Waterford Lakes Town Center, next to the Best Buy, so it wasn't a surprise to see a few people wearing the Best Buy polo seeking nourishment and a break from the grind of work. They have an assembly line process. You pick your base, your vegetables, your proteins, and finally your sauce and people pour oil into a container. I chose their six choice option (two bases, two vegetables, two proteins, and one sauce). I had as my base options the rice and the kale. My vegetables were mushrooms and broccoli. Proteins were steak (for $1.50 more) and grilled chicken. For my sauce, I had the white ginger sauce. The meal was relatively healthy and not bad. My plate was $9.99 plus the $1.50 extra for the steak option. It does seem they like to upcharge for what they deem "extras". In the competitive restaurant field, that could make or break them. Especially in the mall, where there are literally dozens of other choices. Like I said, it wasn't bad, but the meat did seem to be overly salted and the rest of the choices seemed lackluster. I will say that the broccoli was pretty good. Their selection of teas looked interesting, but we were getting takeout and working against a time frame that my daughter had to get to work, so no tea for me. Again, this is my opinion. My daughter enjoys here. For me, not so much. I just find for close to forty dollars for three entrees, no drinks or nothing, I could have had better. read more

I've been coming to the Waterford lakes location for several years now. Stacey and Walter are great and the customer service in general is always good. On a rare occasion, the almond chicken is smaller than usual and it would be nice if they gave me an extra piece but overall I never have any complaints. Everything is always fresh and the people there are great. read more

Absolutely love this place, especially after going vegan! They have so many great options! You choose your base, veggies, protein, etc. to create your bowl! Easy to feel full, but not in a yucky way afterward! Would absolutely recommend! Wish there were more locations throughout Orlando! Just so you know, my favorite thing here is the spiced chickpeas! Try them! :) read more

So I was looking for a healthy alternative while out shopping due to a vacation approaching where I'll be in a bathing suit 90% of the time /: I stumbled upon Fresh Kitchen and I'm so glad I did! I explained it was my first time and the employees walked me through everything. Of course I looked at Yelp before deciding upon here and saw Jen B.'s tip to order a 6 bowl instead of a 4 if adding a veggie cause it's cheaper so that's exactly what I did! For my two bases I got the cauliflower mash and green rice. Saying I HATE cauliflower is an understatement, but it literally tasted like mashed potatoes (: The green rice was ok, but not a stand out. I picked bbq and grilled citrus chicken as my two proteins. The bbq chicken was perfect. Tasty and tender. The citrus chicken was grilled to the point that it tasted like charcoal. I'll steer clear next time. For my veggies I got green beans (seasonal) and parmesan broccoli. I favored the green beans, but the broccoli was good as well. They had add on's like yummy pesto tomatoes or you can even upgrade your protein to steak. I'll probably try those out next time. You get to pick one sauce and I went with the balsamic vinaigrette which I was surprised was a green color, but it was fantastic. A+ for a healthy, gluten free, vegan restaurant. PS: I still don't understand the whole gluten/vegan movement, but it tasted good so whatever, lol. read more

I recently visited Fresh Kitchen and loved it. You build your own bowl with four or six picks from their menu board. They have a delicious selection of grilled meats and vegetables and serve fresh high quality ingredients. I ordered a bowl with cauliflower mash, grilled steak, grilled chicken, grilled brussel sprouts and whole roasted mushrooms. I added a scoop of guacamole. The meal comes with one sauce so I picked a creamy ginger and added a balsamic dressing. The bowl did not need dressing so I only used about a teaspoon in total. Everything in my bowl tasted fresh and was lightly seasoned. The restaurant was clean and the employees were pleasant. read more

This place has been on my periphery for quite some time, yet I never felt called to step in and try their food. But, was I curious about what they were doing? Yes. So, when some friends decided to meet up for lunch, I said "perfect!". The cafeteria style line is interesting, there is organization and stuff, and there are plenty of graphics on the walls that tell you what to do. It seems pretty straightforward, except that the combinations of food and spices is not common, like citrus rice and sweet potato noodles, and despite knowing what to do, you still need to figure out what things may taste like. But trust me, you will not regret taking the plunge. I got sweet potato noodles, spinach salad, sesame green beans, grilled caprese tofu, and a creamy white ginger sauce. It was all cooked perfectly, tasty, I tasted a little too much vinegar at times but the sauce balanced that for me. I ate a lot and I didn't feel stuffed or bloated, and that is good! Now, I have been moving towards healthier eating recently because of .... well, you know, and I have been getting more pounds that I need to carry on, so I may be a bit partial towards not fried foods and no carbs. For that reason alone, I may visit them again. The ambiance is relaxed. Lots of people that work around come in, everyone is nice, and they keep everything in order, working perfect, and organized. This is a no-meltdown zone. read more

I'm trying to make better choices when I eat so I decided to try this spot . First thing I noticed was masked employees, 6 ft markers on the floor, and someone sanitizing the door handle after each person entered. I liked all of that! I sized up the menu and decided on Signature Holy Kale, Roasted Mushrooms,Herb Grilled Steak, Coconut Rice, Barbecue Chicken and green beans. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and cooked to perfection. My green beans were al dente and not mush. My kale and mushrooms were tasty. My meats were tender and well seasoned. I couldn't eat it all and was filled and satisfied for most of the day. I am so glad I tried this spot and will be back for sure. read more

Great place to have a lighter but filling meal. read more

Dowtown and UCF is spoiled with this gem. Wish there was one on the westside, but will have to settle with planning my trips around this place for lunch/Dinner. This location located in the beautiful plaza if Waterford lakes on the corner next to Jeremiah's, I believe it used to be an Italian/pizza spot. Saw the new broth bowl item, as tempting as it was stuck with the 4 (2bases, 1 protein, 1 veggie,1 sauce) bowl. I honestly can't recall what I get each time since there's so many great options I switch it up. This time was the Veggie Quinoa, Kale Salad. With Todu for protien, parmesan Broccoli (favorite) and coconut siracha sauce. Also added Pesto Tomatos. The food is so fresh and refreshing that I am able to get back into the swing of things with out my usual energy drink. Love this place! read more

Now THIS eatery was a complete surprise. I was fully expecting to hate it as a "new age health food" place where if you didn't like bean sprouts and tofu, you'd die of starvation. NOT AT ALL REMOTELY TRUE! So much so, I ate here twice in a row last week! The food is all served in bowls, but the choices are wonderful. I've never loved to eat healthy this much! You have to check out their online menu and ordering. My wife and I ate in the restaurant the first night. And I was loving it! Even the choice of drinks was great. I forgot the name of the soda company, but their selections contained sugar without being a liquid sugary mess. And for a Coca Cola aficionado, that's saying a lot. I will admit that the bowl that I order can be pretty pricey. I'm not a fan of chicken, so I get the salmon and steak. But I really really really enjoy it. Looking for somewhat fast and healthy? Fresh Kitchen is your place. read more

We came here for the first time and wished we had come sooner. It certainly pairs with the name as they have all fresh food and delicious options. What makes it so fresh? It's 100% Gluten free, Antibiotic free meats, home made sauces, dairy free, no processed sugar and 100% olive oil is used. What more could you ask for? Especially when your other half is allergic to gluten and dairy and every other restaurant has that on everything! As you walk in the decor is very colorful with bright pinks and greens. I love the hot pink roses on the roof. They have a open concept with the food in separate bowls for you to choose from. It's very similar to Chipotle but with healthy options. They have inside and outside seating with awesome music blasting. Service is terrific here. The team member who helped us really knew his stuff and explained everything amazingly. First you pick your bowl size. This will determine how many sides and sauces you get. I went with the kids bowl while my boyfriend went with the four bowl. While mine had one base, one veggie, one protein and one sauce his had two bases. They have a few different bases and veggies, different meats (protein) and a variety of sauces they make themselves!!! I got coconut ginger rice (delicous!!!), honey ginger carrots, bbq chicken and creamy white ginger sauce. Everything was fresh and full of flavor. The rice was my favorite. My boyfriend got vegetable quinoa, brown rice, sesame green beans, kale pesto chicken, and cucumber jalepino sauce. He devoured his food. Lastly they have a terrific fountain drink area with cane sugar soda and homemade teas and frescas. The strawberry lemon Fresca was my favorite. We both thoroughly enjoyed our bowls and can't wait to come back and try different stuff. There are so many options to choose from and the prices are very affordable. read more

I LOVE Fresh Kitchen!!! I used to go to the LA Fitness next door and come here every week after the gym. Everything is in their name, freshly made! All of their food taste great! Chicken's always tender and not overly sauced. Kale and spinach salads are on point. Roasted vegetables have hints of charred taste from grilling, perfecto! And best of all, nothing is oily. PLUS, they also have mashed cauliflower that not a lot of places offer! Other than that, the place decorated in cute pink and green tones. They even have a instagramable mirror that has "you are beautiful" printed all over. Service is always fast in the "operation line" style. Lovely! Sooo, with that said: - Health nut proof - checked! - Freshness - checked! - Taste great - checked! - Cute decors - checked! - Fast - checked! If you are looking for a healthy on the go place, this is your gem! read more

Raw chicken!!! Food poisoned from this food. My husband has not stopped throwing up and going to the bathroom. He feels so bad.

Let's be real, FK. I've been here too many times to count over the past 4 years. If you don't want to serve the almond chicken, just take it off the menu or do an up charge. But, this routinely not having any at noon or 12:15 during the lunch rush is silly and it's a huge turnoff to coming here. read more

A build your own bowl concept fast casual restaurant....Whew that was a lot of words to describe this place! I think this place definitely grew on me as I tried it a second Time. I appreciate the options available and how flavorful they are rather than just being salty. For example, they have coconut rice as a base or the variety of sauces to add to the bowl. I love the Brussels sprouts and it's worth it to pay extra for the tuna poke (1.50). The one thing is that whatever you pick, nothing is really hot except maybe steak when they make it right away for you. The restaurant is cute and clean. It doesn't have much seating for a large group if the communal table is taken up. It's also at least 10 bucks with all the add ons. Overall very close to 4 stars. read more

Steak was fresh! Kale salad was yummy and I don't really like kale but it looked so good I had to try and it was all delicious! I will definitely come back, service was amazing ladies in the front explained to me how it works here and what goes in the bowls of your choice. :) read more

Wow, I am impressed! The counter-style build-a-bowl restaurant is quick, healthy, and delicious. All of their food is labeled as gluten free, no sugar added, or vegetarian. They also have several types of cold tea, both with and without sugar. The tea with sugar and their soda fountain only use sugar in the raw, not the overly processed white sugar in everything else. Because of this, you will not get "Coke" or "Pepsi" products, but another brand that uses cleaner products. I wholeheartedly loved my food and the different sauces that went along with them. I cannot wait to come back! read more

Quite good for the price! They clearly mark their items that contain nuts on their menu, which is really convenient for people who have allergies (like me).
