This is THE spot for healthy, affordable and absolutely delicious lunches! The head chef used to be a chef in the White House (and as someone who used to work in the Eisenhower building, I assure you THAT is saying something.) There are a lot of athletes, trainers and even MMA fighters that come here because of the health content of the food; especially for those who focus on protein as the main ingredient. I recommend the impossible burger but honestly, you will absolutely not go wrong with whatever you end up choosing. The heat and eat meals they sell are only 500 calories, balanced, intelligently proportioned and taste VERY good! The price is also unbeatable. Several friends I have turned on to Sidewalk Chef will go at the beginning of every week and buy a bunch of heat and eat meals and just freeze them and then have their lunch and dinner for the week. It turns out to be less time consuming and more cost efficient than shopping at Publix ALL the time. Can't say enough good things about these guys and the customer service is always warm, friendly and inviting! read more

'it was hit or miss' was what my friend told me... And unfortunately, it was a miss for me that day. Everything (except for the cornbread) was undercooked and under seasoned. The cornbread is ok, but too too oily which doesn't really go with the healthy theme this cafe is going for. Parking is challenge too, but we won't come back. read more

They came by to introduce their business the owner and chef Shashank Agtey explained all about the business and food today I tasted the BBQ Chicken, coconut milk mashed potatoes and vegetables as well as their Tomato Bisque and everything was so flavorful and the owner himself to assist you when he's so busy with the preparation of food says a lot. Like I said all was delicious and 500 calories so healthy and clean which it's hard to find and great prices. We had a variety of plates and all I was told is how great and delicious they were I highly recommend. They have dine in 30 capacity, take out, delivery and or catering. read more

My daughter and son-in-law had Chef cater their baby shower and everyone raved how delicious each and every dish was. They had a great selection of dishes for both vegan and non-vegan lovers. This is the second time we have had them cater an event for our family and we have never been disappointed! You can taste the love and passion he has for his craft in each and every dish Chef prepares. read more

I really wanted to take a picture of my giant sandwich (I didn't even know they made whole wheat bread slices that big) but I ate it too fast! I ordered delivery from UberEats since there isn't anything open for dine in. I hadn't been here or ordered from here before, so I gave it a try. It's really close by so I got the food really quick. The Best Ever Chicken Salad Sandwich is what I had and considering the name, it didn't disappoint. It was huge! I will reiterate that again, LOL! Lots of chicken chunks, really saucy, just delicious. I'm so full and in a good way. The chocolate chip cookies were also delicious. They had a really great taste. You could tell they were homemade and healthy. The menu is big, lots of options. The food was really good. I like the concept. I'll definitely order again! read more

Sidewalk Chef Kitchen - a grilled cheese sandwich on a plate - Comfort Food Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

This small restaurant in a business and warehouse enclave was a total surprise on many levels. The biggest being how good a lunch we had here today. Thanks to yelp for introducing us as there is no way we would normally have come to this location. It's not on any of the main roads where we travel nor near our work. The menu is varied and large for such a small location. The chef's philosophy is for "serving healthy, gourmet, budget friendly (and tasty) meals". They have eat in, take out including pre packaged meals to take home, as well as doing catering. Each day they have blackboard specials and a soup of the day. They offer a "fresh express" lunch option from 11 am to 2:30 pm, with soup/salad, a protein, and 2 sides. There are many vegan and vegetarian options. All sorts of salads and sandwiches. And meat eaters are not left out with equally as many options. We both ordered from the 500 calorie meals (all $9.95 each) which can be picked up to take home and be heated and served, but also can be eaten in. My husband loved his bison meatloaf that came with vegetables and mashed potatoes. He said the brown gravy was quite good as well. I had their tasty grilled salmon with mixed vegetables and kitcheree. Kitcheree is a combo of yellow basmati rice and dal. I really liked the wild caught salmon and the seasoned vegetables (cauliflower, squash, bok choy, broccoli, peppers). The rice mix was just ok. There is a side counter where you help yourself to various condiments. You can season your food as desired. There's even hot peppers. We ordered at the counter. The drinks and meals were delivered to the table. We were checked on frequently. My iced tea was refilled often. We got to meet the owner who also made the rounds to check on everyone. This place is definitely worth a detour. I know I will be back. There are a number of items I'm looking forward to trying in the future... read more

Healthy eating is done right when you have an executive chef cooking your express lunch. If you're ever searching for a fast meal that won't break your bank, I suggest gathering a group of friends and dining at Sidewalk Chef Kitchen. Fun fact... Chef Shashank Agety has cooked for both President Bush Sr. and President Clinton in the White House. read more

My husband had a business meeting and I noticed this little gem and decided to stop in to get something to drink while I wait for him.

I ordered the jerk chicken and the meal was amazing. The spices was on point and so fresh. 100 % Recommend read more

I was pretty surprised with the food after reading the reviews. The food had NO seasoning. It desperately needed salt. I haven't gone back since then. Maybe I'll give it a chance again. read more

This place served up the best bison burger I have ever had! The sautéed onions they added made it that much tastier . Don't think just go and try this joint for yourself. Very welcoming atmosphere, cute rustic vibe inside. I look forward to trying more menu items soon. read more

Came for lunch today with a co-worker after wanting to try this place for a while. It was delicious and we will definitely be back. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful with menu options. I went with the Impossible Loaf and it was excellent. Tasty! The veggies and mashed potatoes that accompanied it was great too. Lots of Vegan options! Bunch of Impossible selections which makes it tough to chose from but all the more reason to go back to try them all! My co-worker had the Fresh Express Special, Split Pea soup which he liked. Also had the Kale & Brussels salad which he raved about. I think they also gave him Basmati rice which he liked. Service was great! Must try lunch spot! Sorry no pics :-) read more

It has been such a journey to find a place like Sidewalk Chef Kitchen. I really feel at home there! Like I'm a guest at Chef Shashank's home. The flavors out of this world, clean, fresh food that you just can't find anywhere else. A "Hidden Treasure" I'm pleased to share!!! I'm going to try their food prep programs so I can stay on track and warm up some amazing meals throughout my busy day!!! Thank you chef for feeding my body and soul!!!! read more

This place is a hidden treat! If you're looking for healthy meals and super friendly service, then look no further! Upon entering you'll notice that this venue is pleasant from the get-go - spacious, relaxing and a clear menu above the cashier counter in plain site. As you approach the counter, the server(s) will immediately greet you with a smile. It was my first time here so the server asked if I wanted to try the lunch special, which consisted of one protein and two sides. It sounded delicious and I was already on board. What made this a memorable experience was that they let me see the food up close before choosing, which was a great alternative to pointing at pictures on a menu, which can often change. I also got a sample of the soup. I decided to go with the bison sliders, dhal rice, mashed cauliflower, and a cup of chicken noodle soup. Drinks include the usual canned options and there's also sweet tea and coffee available. The food arrived fairly quickly since it was already prepared and was presented on a snazzy rectangular plate. The food arrived warm and all of it was delicious. The bison sliders were tender, almost minced and was smothered in a light creamy mushroom sauce. The basmati rice was cooked well and thoroughly seasoned. The cauliflower mash had a good consistent texture and tasted as expected. The only minor complaint I have is that overall the food was a little bland for my taste. I was a bit surprised since the chef is Indian born, and most Indian cuisine I've tried has a good kick to it. I also grew up eating a lot of spicy food (where my Trinis at?) so I'm slightly biased in that category. For dessert, I got one of their chocolate Mason jars (cake, mousse, cookie mash up) and it was exquisite. The venue is large and contains many tables to choose from. I can definitely recommend this place for larger groups, especially since I arrived around noon and it wasn't very busy. If you're in need of healthy options, but more importantly, delicious food and great service, add this place to your lunch options. read more

This place presently surprised me. The staff is very friendly and professional and the food....OMG it was amazing! With my experience some healthy lack in flavor and this place proved me wrong!

Love the portions. And the unique selections. But holy cow, please ease up on the salt. I've ordered twice from here. The first time I ordered the stir fry. It was very salty, but I didn't dwell on it, figuring it was just a slip of the hand. But just now I had the bison chili and it was terribly salty as well. read more

Thank god! Finally a place that can make heathy food with out sacrificing taste! If your looking for clean, delicious food, from vegan to food with out dietary restrictions, this is your spot ! But don't skip the chocolate chip cookies! read more

Great food options and excellent service. I got the chicken salad which was pretty good but slightly bland. I'm hoping to go back and find something I really love. read more

The food is amazing and the customer service is top shelf. They will always have my business. Thank you chef ‍

Way too salty for a healthy restaurant, or any restaurant at all. We ordered the lemongrass chicken, the chicken salad, the impossible Sheppards pie, the bison burger, and the turkey tacos. Well, unfortunately my coworkers son ate two bites of the burger before tossing it, and my coworker could not eat the lemongrass chicken as it was way to salty (I tried it, I couldn't eat it either). The chicken salad was okay but it unfortunately was entirely dark meat and super super chunky. The Sheppards pie was good. The ground turkey tacos had the same salt issue and they were for my boss, so he was super upset and he couldn't eat them at all. I would not recommend coming here or ordering from them online. Also very expensive to have issues like this. The burger was $16 and didn't even come with a side. read more

Wow! We loved it!! If you are looking for Healthy and GOOD, this is your place. Our waitress and the owners were so lovely, you feel like among friends. We need this awesome place in Hollywood, please!! Ohhh and the coffee, OMG! It was perfect for my coconut macaroon! A hidden jewel! Thank you Barbara and Chef Shashank Agety!! Paula read more

The food is incredibly tasty and I enjoy all the healthy options they have. They have a fairly diverse menu with offering vegan meals to grass-fed bison. Looking forward to trying a few different meals as my first meal there was quite delicious and flavorful. I highly recommend trying this place out. I've know about it for awhile and never tried it. I am so happy that I did! read more

Can't say enough great things about this place. The chef is amazing, the staff is great and the food is incredible. The vegan options are so delicious and this is one of the few places that actually knows the right way to cook the impossible burger (and it's many creative variations). Try the impossible "meatballs" over spaghetti squash w/ cashew "parmesan" crumbles, it's the best. read more

This is my favorite lunch spot! We would often complain about the lack of healthy and budget friendly options in the area and low and behold we finally got a winner. Service with a smile Amazing selection everyday with their buffet offering Cleanliness More bang for your buck I constantly take coworkers to discover this place and encourage you to try it ASAP! read more

We walked in and the atmosphere was clean and inviting. Plus it smelled really good too. The server was nice and personable. We ordered unsweetened teas( yummy and not too bitter) and to our surprise the straws were eco friendly.(not paper) That was nice. The server kept our drinks filled! My husband ended up ordering their special for the day. Tandoori chicken, kitcheree rice and mixed veg. I ordered the deconstructed turkey shepherd's pie. As we were waiting the server asked if we'd like to try the split pea soup while we waited for the food to cook.(everything is made fresh to order) It was nice and creamy. Food for both meals were delicious( added a little salt to enhance flavor) Overall it was a nice relaxing experience and we'll be back! Only thing that was odd is the placing of the restaurant. It's not on a main street. It's in a commercial complex. But it wasn't too hard to find with GPS. read more

FINALLY! We finally have a healthy-food option that is not only tasty but economical, too. Sidewalk Chef is the best option anyone can have for lunch or dinner in this area. The cafe is super clean, the waitresses are very friendly and the food is so healthy and full of taste. I have never had a bad meal here and intend to come back for lunch all the time. The best part is the prices are very reasonable. You must try Sidewalk Chef Kitchen! read more

I've been going here for at least a year and my favorite entree is the Bison Burger Meatballs with the Mushroom Gravy (which for the most part, I order every time I come). They offer a Healthy Express Lunch Menu (which changes daily and includes the soup of the day or their usual soup), as well as 500 calories "Heat and Eat" prepped meals if you'd like to save time and not make them yourself. They also do catering for work/events if you ever need. The staff and the chef are extremely friendly and cater to your allergy needs or whatever you may need. I'm not one for healthy eating but the food tastes so good you forget it's not bad for you! I'm sad I will be relocating so I won't be able to eat here for lunch as often. But if you're in the area and want to feel content but not overly stuffed after eating, try this place out. read more

Amazing food and service. Been going here for over a year. Chef has great variety and can make specials on request.

Between the service and the food i have fallen in love with this place after just one visit. The food was amazing. I had a kale salad with turmeric dressing that was beautifully seasoned and their house veggie burger that was just as good. It was the Impossible Burger my sister ordered however that blew my mind. I've had it once before at a different location and was disappointed but the chef at Sidewalk treated the alternative meat only an experienced chef could and exceeded my expectations. read more

I had the pleasure of meeting Chef Shashank Agtey yesterday! It was after 5 p.m. and he greeted me at the door with warmth and passion for his Healthy Meals and Hop-Step-Jump energy bars! He truly cares about providing a healthy alternative for food that is easily excessive-able! The hospitably that I received was with a capital "H". He welcomed me as a friend and a neighbor. He sent me home with samples of his energy bars. I purchased fresh cod dinners for my Father and Husband. I'm looking forward to going back to "dine in" for lunch. He was aware that the "folks" in the surrounding area only had 30 minutes to eat lunch. I love that his company supports Bees! Truly a treasure trove of goodness in food and company! read more
