    Our favorite FK Location with the friendliest, inviting staff! This is our favorite fresh meal spot when on the go for sports for the kiddos or feeling lazy to cook but want a healthy fresh option that satisfies. The ever revolving menu of seasonal items keeps you from getting bored. The manager always goes out of his way to make the kids feel special with either sweet treat or hey! They loved the hidden elf on a shelf during the holidays. Thanks for making meal time so much easier and nutritious

    First time here. As a gluten and dairy free person this place is a haven for great food. I loved that they even made note to what was soy free. I definitely will seek this place out again when I’m in town. At this particular location I suggest parking in the rear of the building so you don’t have to back out onto a busy 3 lane road. He line is long but moves super fast. The staff was friendly and it was obvious that the chef was watching over everyone and everything!

    If you’re looking for an easy but still nutritious meal then this is the place to go. They have rather tasty bowl that I enjoy. Staff is very friendly and the ingredients are always fresh. Highly recommend!

    I always love fresh kitchen. Good juices and teas. Yummy food & sauces. We asked for a little bit more steak and the guy hooked us up! Great service & good every time. And super cute environment. The almond crusted chicken was a little dry so I wouldn’t recommend that, but the steak definitely made up for it. (my favorite sauces are the green one & the chipotle sauce mix) the cauliflower rice is delicious here! My bf got the cookies and he said they were amazing & healthier than normal cookies.

    These days when you find a place that really impresses you - they deserve a review. So here it is FK. I am a flight attendant staying in the area for work and I was looking to find lunch a walkable distance from my hotel. I took a gamble on Fresh Kitchen and I am SO glad I I did! The atmosphere is awesome - love the vibe both inside and outside. The menu was intimidating and I didn’t know what to get/how to pair the flavors. The staff was incredibly helpful and so kind. They helped me make an awesome bowl. They even gave me a sticker (I collect them from my travels!) The drink choices are all amazing and the raspberry lemon tea is perfect. Highly highly recommend. It is so hard to find clean, fresh, affordable food when you have my job. FK - offer an airline discount and you’d make a killing with us (just saying 😉)

    Stopped by in Fresh Kitchen before heading to the mall, we didn’t want to get mall food. I had sweet potatoes noodles, kale salad and almond chicken, and my friend had the grilled chicken, spinach and brown rice. It was just the right portion of food, we didn’t feel bloated or over eaten. Would definitely come back again when in the area!

    I had a 6 bowl (Double brown rice, basil mushrooms, grilled steak, BBQ Chicken, Mozzarella cheese) along with a Black Cherry Soda). This was my first time going to Fresh Kitchen. It was hard finding a parking spot. I didn't know there was a parking lot in the back... but the back lot was full, too. I met with the ones I was there to meet. The food tasted good. I liked the Black Cherry soda. There were a lot of drink options that were better for you versus regular soda options.

    Very disappointed with the food service. It is not my first time ordering a bowl from fresh kitchen, but it is the first time that I get a bowl with such a small portion. The amount of sauce is way too little, the mushrooms tasted old, and the salmon was not hot. I used to get bowls loaded with fresh and hot food , but today I was totally shocked .

    Excellent food and service! The place is small, but there is also seating outside and the line moves quickly. The vegan options are amazing! Overall a great experience! I will definitely be a regular.

    Fresh Kitchen has always been a favorite of mine so I decided to try this new location. When I arrived the parking lot and surrounding roads were insane with people trying to find parking, luckily I was able to snag a spot and run inside to order. I ordered a 6 bowl; With sweet potato noodles, cauliflower avocado rice, sesame green beans, sweet potatoes, Caprese tofu, and topped with coconut Sriracha sauce. The bowl was absolutely phenomenal and I’m so glad I chose here for a late lunch!

    I visited here for the first time while in town visiting my brother. We both like to eat on the healthier side and I am totally gluten free so when he suggested this, I was excited! I loved the interior and the shirts all the workers had on. I had a great experience, the line went fast, and our food was amazing. My only complaint is a personal opinion, which is that I wish they cut more of the stems off the broccoli. Other than that, I loved it and will be back next time I am in town.

    I stopped by here for grabbing a quick dinner. This place has lot of healthy dishes. The Staffs are really friendly and you can customize the dish according to your wish. We loved fish and chicken as protein. There is a parking at the back which is ideal, since the parking by the road doesn't have many spots plus backing up will be tough to the busy road.

    A great place to grab some healthy food with portions that you can control. From the outside it seems like there is a long line, but it does move fast

    10/10 experience! Great staff, they were all very helpful and friendly! Food is excellent and full of flavor. Highly recommend everything I got. Ginger White rice, sweet potato noodles, maple sweet potatoes, green beans, almond crusted chicken and barbecue chicken. A little creamy ginger sauce on the side! A little pricey, but it’s worth it I will be back!

    this food is so good! the place was SUPER crowded and there was a line out the door, but honestly it was worth the wait. if you go here, make sure to be nice to the workers because their jobs seems very stressful and i know if i worked there i would start crying 5 minutes into my shift.

    It was late and I wanted to eat something light but fulfilling. And fresh kitchen hit it right on the nail. They had healthy selections to choose from, which were fresh and savory.

    I tried Fresh kitchen for the first time 3 weeks ago on a whim, and it was pretty good. Yesterday I popped in while in a rush and running errands and decided to try the salmon. I was pretty annoyed that they up charged for a small piece of salmon that wasn’t even cooked all the way. I was able to eat around it since I was starving and had to get back to work. If you’re going to charge me an additional $2.50 for a small piece of salmon at least make sure it’s fully edible. Thanks. But I don’t know maybe it’s my own fault for ordering the salmon. *shrug* Update: They reached out to me about the salmon and apologized for the mix up. They also offered to have me back in for lunch. I really appreciate them reaching out and assuring me they are going to take further steps to ensure this doesn’t happen again. While offering me lunch sounds great I had to pass because I do not think it’s fair for them to give me a free meal. Business’ and their employees need all the support they can get right now. Mistakes happen- I had a bad day and an undercooked lunch sucked. Thank you for the offer I politely decline. But I assure you I will be back, your bowls are the best I’ve had in south Tampa!

    Very very good. Missing a star bc the server didn't disclose certain ingredients even after we said we were allergic. But I would still come back!

    Delicious, fresh, flavorful food choices! We were pleasantly surprised to find such a great "fast food" place. If we lived here we'd visit weekly. I had tofu salad, kale salad, green beans, mushrooms, sweet potatoes and the white ginger sauce. A lot of food at a very reasonable price, and every bite was wonderfully tasty!

    I think it’s a safe bet to assume that me and everyone else in Tampa really like FK. The lunch lines express this truth. My favorite ingredients to add to my bowl are, first and best, the mushroom by far, followed by the zucchini noodles. For the meat, you can’t go wrong with the bbq chicken and salmon. Check them out! You will be happy and healthy.

    This place is so good and the vibes are so right the moment we sat down to eat I instantly tried to look up how to open this as a Franchise in Colorado! The food is fresh and NEVER disappoints. Almond chicken is my favorite and the sweet potatoes! The service was OUTSTANDING, like almost a whole nother world! It's amazing how happy and truelly genuine everyone seems. It lifts my spirit everytime I came in. Olivia was amazing and from the first time I came in, to the last day i was in town she always recognized us and said hey and made us feel welcomed and special. I love this place and will open one in CO in a heartbeat if they would let me! It's so good I want to own one and be apart of the team!

    Lines are long during lunch (11:45am-2:30pm), but moves fairly quick. Best to order ahead if you're on a time restraint. The food is amazingly good and filling. The 4 bowl works great for me. It fills me up. I typically get the blackened chicken, coconut rice, spinach salad, broccoli or chickpeas. I get the coconut Sriracha sauce on the side, but I never need it. The food flavors are so good without it.

    Ordering food at Fresh kitchen is a tedious process. I don’t like to hold up the line either but I have food allergies and i need to make sure which items i can choose from. If they could make place cards for the food right front off the food for us to see, instead of displaying a wall of writings with names and abbreviations of GF, DF and what not and then i would need to find out what is what and trying to ask the server who cannot hear me because the kitchen behind her is so loud i had to repeat 5 times that i want the sauce on the TOP of my food and not in a CUP. I thought it took a long time to find items i can choose from and the guy behind me went bananas and started an argument with me to order faster. I would love to order faster. Make it easier for me and I will. Food is amazing but the system of ordering needs improvement. Especially during busy lunch time. Once the server understood that i have food allergies especially for soy, she helped me through the process and pointed at food items which ones i can choose from. That was very helpful, thank you. But it shouldn’t have to be so hard. I don’t want special service for having food allergies. I don’t need anyone to know about it. It’s annoying to take so long. Make it easier for us, special need people, please.

    Love this place so much. Everyone that works here is pleasant and friendly. The food is fantastic quality. I especially love the steak and broccoli. The chocolate chip cookies are surprisingly delicious. I also really enjoy the beverage bar and the various choices available.

  • 5/5 Ashley M. 8 months ago on Google
    This place is worth the half hour travel every once in a while. I love the sweet potatoes and bbq chicken!

  • 5/5 Jessica B. 1 year ago on Google
    Fast, friendly and healthy. I’ve been to several locations and always satisfied Each time. I like to get the kids bowl because it’s smaller and keeps me from over eating.

  • 5/5 Jess J. 5 months ago on Google
    Blessed. The food is blessed by something, EVERY SINGLE ITEM, the meat or the tofu, the veggies cooked perfectly, the sauces so creative like kale and almonds or ginger cream. It’s a whole explosion of flavor whatever mix you put together. And you feel amazing afterward. And even though it’s fast food, the kitchen staff will still come out when you’re done to ask if you’re satisfied and take your bowls. I love them. 🥲

  • 5/5 Adam O. 4 months ago on Google
    Cute little place to grab an actually decent and well priced lunch, with fresh ingredients. I've visited when they are busy and when they're slow, and the food is still fresh. Although "busy" just means less than a 10 minute wait before you're already sitting down with your food. No complaints and the food keeps me coming back!

  • 5/5 Brittany A. 3 months ago on Google • 15 reviews New
    I cannot recommend this place enough! I was in Tampa for a conference and came here for dinner the first night, and lunch and dinner the second day. That’s how much I loved it! The flavors are phenomenal and go so well together! The food is so fresh and such great quality! The staff is so kind and considerate, making sure you’re aware of any allergies or spice levels, even when they have a line out the door. This is one of those restaurants I go to and think, how can we open a franchise where I live?! 😆 SO DELICIOUS! Go and you won’t regret! (PS: Definitely get the sweet potatoes!)

  • 3/5 Kayla P. 11 months ago on Google
    This is the third time now where we have ordered online and our bowls are near empty. Seems like if you aren’t ordering with them in person, they skimp on the portion sizes. Which is frustrating after you pay $15 or more on a bowl and you are still left hungry. We love fresh kitchen but unfortunately with our work schedules we end up having to order out for dinner at times. With this as a constant issue we may have to cross out our favorite healthy spot due to the inconsistent portion sizes. Six small pieces of chicken and a pinch of noodles is not worth the cost. Especially when you pay extra for steak and up with just a few slices. Currently making sandwiches to hold us over for the night.. Sincerely, Still hungry.

    We stopped for dinner on our way to the Ed Sheeran concert. The menu was vast, the prices were amazing and the food was delicious! The staff was also fantastic- friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Highly recommend Fresh Kitchen.

  • 5/5 Bill V. 1 year ago on Google
    On our way home from the airport and got on line feud to find a place for lunch. Never been here delicious. but it sounded time to order. Explain we had never been there and the employees were very helpful. Allowed me to sample something first to be sure it wasn’t too hot and explained the different foods. They were healthy , great ingredients deliciously prepared at a very reasonable price. Love the gf cookies! We will go back again soon.

  • 5/5 Karen McCabe B. 2 years ago on Google
    Fabulous food! Amazing quality for "fast food". Truly gourmet in a very casual setting - just my style. And so healthy! All dishes are clearly labeled whether they're gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, etc. so it's easy to eat according to your own personal dietary guidelines. This is my new favorite place to eat in Tampa or St. Pete!

  • 5/5 Tamara R. 1 year ago on Google
    I eat nothing else I live to eat at Fresh Kitchen thank every1 at the Kennedy spot. If your by Kennedy stop by you will absolutely love it. The food is sooo amazing I'm hooked forever.

  • 5/5 Michelle M. 1 year ago on Google
    Oh my Jesus, this was the best food, atmosphere and experience. The food is fresh, delicious, flavorful and visually enticing. The vegan options are wonderful. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone.

  • 4/5 Orlando R. 2 years ago on Google
    This is great quick, delicious healthy food and the drink choices is healthy too. Try the Raspberry Lemon tea, lightly sweeten delicious. If you have a Fresh Kitchen near you, go in and get some delicious food.

  • 5/5 BH 2 years ago on Google
    I love this place. The food is consistently delicious. They offer healthy and flavorful food options that don't leave me regretting that extra bite. Not to mention, their menu is heaven for those who have special dietary needs. They're still one of my favorite places to order from.

  • 5/5 Rahkia M. 2 years ago on Google
    First time here and loved it! You can smell the flavor of the food from outside. Super busy, long lines, but it does move along quickly. Reasonable prices and the food was all delicious. I had the tofu as my protein and it was tasty and well seasoned. Sauces are flavorful. Love the sweet potato noodles and avocado cauliflower rice. Will go on a regular when I'm in the area.
