My food came out room temperature entre was bland couldn't prepare just sent spices in cup to pour on. Cocktail incorrectly made had to be remade. Others in my party enjoyed their food.

We have used Fresh Chef and their caterer, Mo Funk, to cater several of our Lake Norman Boat Club member lunches. The menu and food is always exceptional, and Mo and her team always go above and beyond to make for a great event.
August 2025
Fresh Chef is kinda tucked away in the shopping center, but we'll worth trying. The food was delicious. The staff was super friendly. The restaurant is rater large, your not squeezed in at all.

My table ordered meatloaf, filet salad and chicken parm. All three simply amazing. Thevportions were spot on for each dish. Each were about $15-20 each. Additionally, they offer daily specials too.

Overall an excellent choice for lunch or dinner.
