"This place is probably close to a mecca for people that have dietary restrictions or prefer to eat gluten-free, vegetarian, etc, whatever. But I am a card-carrying carnivore and this place is quickly becoming one of my favorite restaurants.\n\nI'm really shocked to see less than great ratings in some of these reviews...but I am left assuming those patrons just didn't read the menu or ask their server for clarification before ordering. OR were looking for a greasy cheeseburger and were understandably disappointed with the entree they ordered here. \n\nThink fresh ingredients, lots of options and healthy choices. Always recommend getting the sweet potato fries with the spicy chipotle sauce (we brought home a bottle for $7). My girlfriend likes the protein burgers with a veggie burger or wild salmon and it comes on a bed of fresh greens. They now offer whole grain bread, rolls, brown rice tortillas, etc so you can order it as a sandwich or a wrap. \n\nYou could probably except to satisfy any craving you have without feeling guilty on the way home. \n\nOn of the things we like about this place is that the menu is creative. It can be a challenge to come up with exciting flavors and combinations when you're preparing nutritious foods and Nourish really has it down. It's not stuff I'd even think to make at home and it's reasonably priced. \n\nFood is consistently fresh and well prepared. Service is friendly but sometimes slow, although it seems to be getting better. I still wouldn't recommend coming here if you're in a rush.\n\nOther cool things about Nourish: pantry items like chips, drinks, local craft beers, cookbooks, lotions & soaps, etc. available for purchase. And their desserts are awesome. So good. \n\nNourish is a great choice if you are looking for a healthy meal with lots of options, especially for people that have any type of dietary restriction. It's probably not a good choice if you are looking for something that's hugely processed, really cheap or super gluttonous because most the menu items are health conscious.\n\nI don't mean health conscious to imply the entrees are like diet food or aren't very tasty, it's just not the same dining experience as Chili's or Culinary Dropout so keep that in mind.\n\nThere truly are not a lot of places like Nourish in the East Valley, it's a gem and you will find yourself coming back."^^ . .
