This restaurant takes food preparation very seriously. It has never disappointed and we seem to crave the outstanding seafood recipes which includes scallops. There is nothing here that comes from the freezer unless you order ice cream. read more

Host had her back to us and kept her back to us for several minutes, only turning around when another server noticed that we had been waiting. She finally took us to our table; where we proceeded to wait for 10-12 minutes more with no server coming by to even introduce themselves to us. Somehow the table behind us and beside us managed to maintain service, including multiple visits from the server during that time. Poor service, terrible employees. Won't be returning. read more

Food is not worth the price. Very slack service. It is very nice inside. We stopped going a long time ago.

I like the food I got a salad and avocado dip it was delicious I would go again, they are very friendly

Tonight was our first night trying Fresh Chef in Hickory, I was so excited to get our food. We ordered Takeout. When we got home and looked only 1 out of 3 dishes were correct. We ordered the Grilled Salmon (which was 20$) and we were wondering why the portion was so small and quickly realized we didn't receive the broccoli that says goes with it on the menu. I had ordered the Chicken Sandwich and when I was reading the menu I thought it was going to have pineapple on it and barbecue. When I opened the box it didn't which was okay but I had also asked for a fried Chicken sandwich instead of Grilled and the chicken was grilled. Which I don't really prefer grilled chicken but again it's okay. I had called up to Fresh Chef and told them what had happened and whoever answered the phone had tried to tell me that the Grilled Salmon doesn't come with broccoli but if you look on the menu it clearly says Broccoli then (Gluten Free). I had told him about my Chicken as well and he said well I'm sorry for everything that was messed up, I was like okay and the phone call had ended. Just not what I was expecting.... read more

Food is always fresh and put fast. Online orders are always correct and the inside is always clean. I highly recommend this location.

Very Good experience with Take out here, chicken wraps, burgers, fruit plate and chilli all delicious and fresh.

One of my all time favorites! They really do live up to their name of being fresh! They excellent customer service and are always attentive to customers needs! I have done both done i'm and take out and both times have both efficient! There place is very clean and well cared of as well! Such a pretty outdoor dining area as well. You have to go check it out, the food is delicious and fresh! read more

We ordered curbside pickup and were so impressed at the speed and efficiency that our payment was received and the food handed off. Their smoked salmon wrap and salad was absolutely luscious! read more

I went to Fresh Chef after a shopping at the Hickory Furniture Mart. It's a cute little place about 10-15 minutes from the Mart. I had the steak salad. The filet on the salad was cooked to my liking and the blue cheese dressing was delicious! read more

Great food! Great service! All that with enough food for a second meal or to share with another person

Everything was fresh and delicious!! The salads were yum! French fries great!! Wraps were excellent !! read more

The food is absolutely amazing definitely one of the best restaurants in the greater Hickory area! The staff is very nice and so is the owner would recommend to anyone who wants a good time and great food! read more

Decent place, it's basically the most convenient restaurant off the I -40 exit but is also a good quality place to eat. They seem to do a decent job at being consistent with entrees and such which is nice, but it pretty pricey, so don't expect to spend $10 a plate for dinner here. Wouldn't mind seeing a good craft beer menu here with rotating taps. read more

Wrote a long review then my computer messed up so here is abbreviated. My husband, son, in-laws and I came her for the first time a few weeks ago. Everyone at their table raved about the food which is a rarity because someone is always disappointed with their meal. Service is friendly (as well as the chef/owner) and attentive. We will definitely be back. read more

We ordered to go for a weeknight meal. The food was ready quick and stayed hit all the way home. Chicken parm was bland. Shrimp n grits were good. Grilled salmon salad was ok. Would still try again, but different entrées. read more

We went on a Saturday night about 6:30. Food was good. They wait on tables by committee so you never know who to ask for something. Ordered a drink. They brought them, took our order and the salads were out very quickly. At $10, I'd like to enjoy may drink a little. Before we finished the salads the entrees were out. They asked about dessert before we finished our entrees. The couple with us got their dessert, but we had to ask two different staff about where ours was. 10 minutes later, the manager brought it out, apologized and comped it. Overall, we felt rushed, like they couldn't wait to turn over the table and that service by committee was not the innovation needed for good service. read more

Nice service and best restaurant I've been too! And I love the food there too it's just fascinates me a lot read more

excellent food, excellent service! Fresh food. Doesn't get any better highly recommend I had blackened fish and it was delicious

Our new favorite local spot! All is fresh and plentiful. Most dishes you can share with someone. My husband and oldest son, love their burgers. My favorite is the Black and Blue salad. Both indoor and outdoor seating. They can accommodate large parties as well. read more

Great food great service eat in or take out either way. Every meal has been good. Shrimp and grits. Filet. Both very good.

We were spending the night in Hickory and wanted to find a local place to eat and boy oh boy, we were not disappointed. We sat outside in the covered patio area. Enjoyed a French onion soup-we shared as it was huge! My husband got the meatloaf with mashed potatoes with a mushroom burgundy sauce. I got the grilled salmon with broccoli and a salad. It was delicious! First time in a while I saw my husband struggle to finish a meal as he was getting stuffed. Our server, Nautica, was friendly and kept our waters full. Definitely recommend! read more

I rarely complain, but I have patronized Fresh Chef of Conover for several years now and this evening's meal was disastrous. First, when I called in my order for curbside, the girl answered, "Hey, how are you? What can I do for you?" Ok, not a huge deal, but she didn't even say the name of the restaurant, so I had to ask if it was Fresh Chef thinking I had dialed the wrong number. Then I had to tell her 3 times to substitute mashed potatoes for the fries on both orders. My black and bleu filet had no "bleu" (crumbles) on it. The steak was cooked medium-well and not medium like I asked. There was no grilled asparagus on the side like it was supposed to be. We called back after getting home with the food and explained with disappointment what had happened. The manager NEVER got on the phone and was telling the girl who answered what to say. We were told it had been ticketed as a lunch dish and this was the reason for the lack of asparagus. It was after lunch hours, no one told me they were giving a lunch portion, and to beat it all, THERE WERE NO BLEU CRUMBLES ON MY STEAK AND IT WASN'T COOKED CORRECTLY. Very disappointed in you Fresh Chef of Conover as I am a great tipper and your manager offered absolutely no remedy in the form of a gift card or anything after we told them we were home for the evening and couldn't come back. read more

absolutely love it. the food is amazing and the service is great. i always get the chicken alfredo and it's to die for. the appetizer spinach dip, i could eat it every day! top quality food for some amazing prices read more

I have been here in small and larger groups. The service is the best in the area. The food and cocktails are delicious. My personal favorite is the seared scallops special. The bar serves good cocktails and can accommodate recipes. The last time I was here I asked for a skinny margarita that is not listed on the menu and the bar tender made it happen. read more

I love this restaurant. The prices are great, the food is delicious, and the service is outstanding! Well done!

Can't say enough about this place. While we were waiting for the rest of our party we were given complimentary "nibbles". Servers were polite and personable. There were 11 of us and food was out in no time and we were all served piping hot food at the same time. We had a variety of entrees and everything was delicious read more

Just got back from an excellent evening while visiting family here, as we decided to try Fresh Chef because of the great reviews. We were not disappointed!

I took my 12 year old niece out to eat here this afternoon. The service was very nice and professional. My niece ordered the Hawaiian Chicken Salad. It was fabulous. And the portion of her salad was huge. She had left overs. I had the Hawaiian Chicken wrap. It was to die for!!! The flavors and everything about the food sent your tastebuds into overdrive!!! read more

Absolutely LOVE the food and staff at both locations of Fresh Chef. If you haven't been there, put it on your list of top restaurants!

Pretty good atmosphere, little pricy, steak was not medium more like rare! Everything else great!

It was okay. Bad service. I mean it took 20-30 min just for our drinks! And my burger was falling apart on me. It was just okay.

Have been to Cornelius and Mooresville locations! Was pleasantly surprised to find this one, too. Great, clean, fresh food, as expected!!
