    Summit Bowl with blueberries
    Sharon P.

    First time here and definitely not the last. Very quick service. This bowl was so good with açaí, strawberry, cherry, almond milk, granola and blueberries!

    This is the açaí bowl with extra honey

    Busting you hear me busting it's a little expensive but delicious definitely my new spot oh FYI no parking is the only downfall ‍

    I love Rush Bowls! I was able to try it for the first time only recently and I feel like I'm obsessed already. I love their peanut butter and jelly bowl! Their chocolate covered strawberry bowl is also really good. I'm a creature of habit so I usually just order the same thing every time but I'll try something new soon and update my review if it's worth sharing. Parking isn't the best in this area. I hate driving on Hillsborough to be honest. At least there is a small parking lot across the street near the Wings Over, as well as street parking usually. I love that they use fresh ingredients at Rush Bowls and that the staff is super sweet and helpful when I go in, especially with friends who have never had smoothie bowls before. I think I'm gonna go in later today, actually! #1 takeaway from this review: try the peanut butter jelly bowl

    I was seriously impressed by this place! The bowl I got was the Power Bowl, and it was so tasty I had to remind myself that it is actually healthy! These bowls (and smoothies) are so good on a hot summer day! Only bad thing is there is literally no parking. Zaxby's has lots of unused parking but it says if you park there you'll be towed. Not sure how true that is but I wasn't about to test it, so I managed to find an open parking spot near ihop and walked, but keep in mind that most of the street parking in that area is permit only.

    I don't have much experience with fruit/smoothie bowls. But I enjoyed my experience at Rush bowls. I got the greens guru bowl .. I feel it was the perfect amount of sweetness without feeling overwhelmed. My favorite part of the bowl was the texture the cucumbers and coconut gave. It's nice to have some crunch with all the smoothie. It's a big portion size in my opinion.. I didn't finish it all. My poodle loved her pup bowl! She probably would have ate the paper packaging if she could have. I'd return - but try a different menu item - I wasn't blown away ... but still worth another try.

    How I decided to come here for lunch: I woke up and Rush Bowls popped into my head. Yup. With an assortment of signatures, I found the CHOSEN ONE. The Peanut Butter & Jelly bowl (supposedly 478-523 Calories, but I'm hoping for more for how good it was) comes with Banana, Strawberry, Milk Choice, Frozen Yogurt (optional), Peanut Butter. Topped with: Organic Granola, Peanut Butter, Jelly, Honey. Keep in mind that they blend the fruits up with your choice of milk and yogurt, then all the toppings it comes with. They make their peanut butter from scratch, so I couldn't let this opportunity to try it go to waste. The PB was A1. This bowl is so good, you can consider myself eating this... along with another bowl for seconds and maybe this again for dessert.... don't judge. Bottom line: I highly doubt you'll not like anything from this small eatery. The prices are cheaper than Walmart! While you can choose a signature made bowl, you can also customize.

    This is a very welcome spot on Hillsborough Street to grab a refreshing smoothie bowl or two (or three)! Rush Bowls has tons of healthy options specializing in bowls and smoothies based on yogurts, acai, fruits and other veggies! The fact that they don't use any added sugar was a big draw for us as this let the natural sweetness of the ingredients take center stage. Although they have some set bowls and smoothies, you can easily mix and match and customize to your preference. This may cater more to the post-workout crowd to grab a protein-enriched meal but fear not, this place is for everyone looking for a good wake-me-up-with-healthy-living kinda meal! Great job so far and really hope to come back more often!

    The beach bowl is so delicious, takes me back to eating Açaí bowls in Hawaii! The bowls are quite a good size and this one comes topped with granola, honey, and 1 topping of your choice.

    yet ANOTHER good experience at rush bowls, i love this place. i come whenever i'm in town from college. my bowl today was $16 which, yes. is incredibly expensive in perspective... but it's so good

    Super bummed I paid almost $10 for this and I got like 1 strawberry. Not to mentioned the acai isn't freshly made it comes in packets.

    Slightly disappointing! Bowls weren't bad, just lacked a lot of flavor. Would definitely try some other varieties again though, hopefully with better results!

    It's a great place to get a healthy snack or breakfast. The parking is limited. When I went the person opening as 20 minutes late. But other than that I would recommend going. I went on Oct. 21st.

    This was my first visit and its safe to say it will not be my last. The smoothie bowls are awesome I got a protein bowl which is amazing after a workout. The young lady that took care of us was amazing even though she was alone she made sure each customer got the attention we deserved. Once I told her it was my first time visiting she made sure she explained what options I had to choose from to customize my bowl. I am very impressed.

    Tupelo Honey -- A Different Experience This Time…read more We decided to revisit Tupelo Honey during our trip through North Carolina because we had such a great experience the first time we visited. Our first visit was for breakfast/brunch, and we really enjoyed it, so this time we decided to stop in for a late lunch. We originally came looking for chicken wings, but we were told they had recently changed the menu and no longer offered them. So, we decided to try some other things. We started with the fried green tomatoes, which were served over polenta with a reddish sauce drizzled around them. The tomatoes were fried nice and firm--they didn't fall apart and held their texture well. I enjoyed the appetizer. For our entrees, we tried several things: bourbon meatloaf, breakfast potatoes, fried chicken, fried okra, roasted Brussels sprouts, and grilled harvest chicken. The food portions were generous, and everything was well seasoned. However, this meal was more of a "just okay" experience for us. The bourbon meatloaf was okay, although you definitely have to be in the mood for meatloaf. The breakfast potatoes, fried okra, Brussels sprouts, mac and cheese, green beans, and grilled harvest chicken were all decent but didn't really stand out. The fried chicken was very well seasoned--perhaps a little too well seasoned for my taste, as it leaned toward salty. Our drinks were good, and I still enjoyed the atmosphere. Our waitress was also friendly and attentive, which helped make the experience pleasant. Overall, this visit didn't quite live up to our first experience. My husband was especially disappointed. That said, I wouldn't completely rule Tupelo Honey out. Sometimes a restaurant has an off day, and I'd be willing to give it another try--especially since we enjoyed our first visit so much.

I don't know if there was a miscommunication but at that point we were annoyed and overpaid. I would recommend paying with card only or if you don't have to brake larger bills. Would recommend the almond latte and the turkey brie / avocado club. unfortunately not going out of my way to come back since I don't go downtown a lot.

After getting to know many of the staff over the years of frequenting there, anything to make every staff member walk out at the same time has to be big enough to leave a sour taste in your mouth.
