| - Do not let the strip mall location fool you; Fresh Chef Kitchen is an excellent choice for lunch (or perhaps dinner but I can only speak on lunch) if you are in Cornelius. The space neither outside nor inside is large, but our party of 7 was at upon arrival. It probably also helped that it was 2:30pm on a weekday afternoon. Dogs are welcome on the patio too!
Our server was quick and friendly in getting us started with drinks while we waited for all of our party to arrive. My mom was particularly excited they had diet dr. pepper-FYI for those who also are fans! While our server was not overly familiar with the menu, he had no problem finding someone who was to talk to my mom about the special fish tacos (red snapper) and reassure her that there would be no cross-contamination since she is allergic to shellfish.
The menu at lunch offers a variety of wraps, salads, sandwiches, and lunch entrees. Many of the same proteins (eg: herb shrimp, Hawaiian chicken, black and blue filet, salmon, etc.) make it into each section of the menu in the aforementioned forms. Two members of our party ordered Caesar salads substituting the blackened chicken for blackened shrimp. Both cleaned their plates and thought they were tasty. My cousin had the shrimp and grits with an extra side of white cheddar grits. I did not hear much from him, but he also cleaned his plate. My dad ordered one of the wraps and gave it two thumbs up. My aunt had the black and blue filet wrap (Blackened filet tips, mixed greens, blue cheese crumbles, herb vinaigrette, diced tomatoes, sautéed peppers and onions, served with fries) and enjoyed it. I tried the fries and these were great shoestring fries-loved the seasoning on them! My mom had the special-red snapper tacos served with a mango salsa, feta, and a few other goodies. She said the soft shells were too flimsy and small for the contents. She ended up finishing her meal (2 tacos) with a knife and fork. I had the Hawaiian chicken salad (Marinated grilled chicken breast on a bed of
mixed greens and topped with cheddar cheese, red onion, mushrooms, cucumbers, tomatoes and fresh grilled pineapple) with honey mustard on the side. The salad was larger than expected and very filling. The pineapple was diced and did not taste like it was out of a can but fresh like in the description. The chicken was plentiful and well-seasoned, and all other ingredients were also well portioned.
Even the picky members of our party enjoyed their meals and it was great to have a wide variety on the menu. I would absolutely recommend dining at Fresh Chef Kitchen for a delicious, casual meal!
