Forage Kitchen

If you are looking for a healthy, casual spot (while also supporting local in a big way), here it is! I think you could call this your go-to, affordable and healthy/high protein spot. One of those places you feel good about eating at:) This started in Madison and has been expanding. We came in on a Sunday afternoon … lots of seating available, steady stream of people coming in, both picking up to go and ordering in. There are a few options - table seating, counter and high top seating or a cute little outdoor garden area. You order at the counter and they make it in front of you. Everything from scratch and reasonable prices. The best part is, it’s as delicious as it is healthy. Really fresh, creative options. They are willing to customize and there are a lot of gluten free and vegan options. The black rice base is wonderful. I ordered the chicken bacon Caesar wrap and could only eat half - it was so packed full! I saved the other half for my next day lunch. My husband got the Fiesta Bowl and added hot honey chicken - I should have taken an after picture, because he left absolutely nothing!! Street parking is easy, the place is super open, filled with light and easy seating. This would be a great place for even meeting friends or for a casual meeting space - I noticed they also offer catering so included that in photos. This is definitely for your “healthy, must come often” list!

I’m normally nervous about ordering out because I’m particular about how I order my things. I ordered the avocado crunch salad and made some changes, I was nervous the worker would have an attitude, but he was very attentive and receptive. He made it absolutely delightful. I could tell he was new because he was reading the ingredients, but he still made it quickly and effectively. I definitely have found my new food spot! Great job!

First time at a Forage Kitchen. Stopped in to get a salad. Love the idea of having a fresh salad bar where I can custom make the perfect salad combination. This location is on a nice corner. The interior has plenty of natural light from the large windows. There are cafe tables outside, under umbrellas. I arrived a little bit before noon, and was able to order right away. The staff person efficient, polite, but not especially friendly. I ordered the Local Roots salad, which is exactly that, root vegetables. I also ordered a can Tepache beverage. Didn't take very long to have it made up. It was a good portion. They offered a piece of sourdough bread too. Took it outside and enjoyed it under an umbrella on the outside patio. The salad was good, but not great. Couple of things that would have made it better (IMHO). The beets were a bit over cooked, and the roasted brussel sprouts were a bit undercooked. The addition of roasted fennel is excellent. The bread was a bit tasteless. A baguette would be a much better option. I'd come back and give it another try.
