Terrible, I had to throw the whole bowl out. Coming from out of town, the Forage Kitchen in my city near me is nice, clean and friendly. This was the total opposite! THERE’S NO GRADE RATING posted and they act like they didn’t know what I was talking about (I should’ve known then), a smell hits when you walk in (again staff clueless), the atmosphere was blah, I should’ve just walked out. It’s already hard to eat as vegan 🌱 , but now I know Madison, WI don’t got shit for me ew, 3rd trash place tonight and money wasted.

🥲I’m so so disappointed. Maybe it’s just one of those days for them, but I went to get a wrap today and it was just horrible. Imagine looking forward to having another nice wrap at this place and then it all goes down hill. The wrap was oddly wrapped, big wide but also flat. It did not resemble a wrap at all. Then I also found hair in the wrap while I was eating it on one of my lettuce leaves 😩. When I unwrapped the wrap itself it was messy and drippy everywhere. To make it worse, I saw the girl wrapping it and most of the wrap was on the bare counter before she now put it back on the foil then struggled to wrap it. I couldn’t even eat or finish it after spending nearly $15 of my money. It was great the first I went which is why I went back this second time, but after this experience they won’t be seeing me again 🥲.

I had a lovely dinner at Forage Kitchen after a conference at the University of Wisconsin Madison! I was looking for a light and healthy dinner, so I got one of the Bowls on the menu - and I was pleasantly surprised to find every ingredient really flavorful and fresh. Both the space inside the outside are cozy and clean, and the stuff was really delightful. I absolutely recommend stopping here when in Madison.

The food was very delicious and refreshing!! It would be nice if they had a bit more seating inside the restaurant though

Before owners got the expansion bug: really great — simple and did very well with what they do.
After the owners got the expansion bug (now) — feels a bit corporate. Saw employees visibly frustrated with management and noticed a decline the quality of the product.
Always — the place is unique and feels very local (location). The menu is simple (good) and has some unique elements.

Super delicious, quick spot to grab a healthy meal. I was at a meeting on campus (Pyle Center, v close) and came here for lunch every day.
Love the automatic offer to have dressing on the side and also free bread :)
Friendly staff and the cashew bowl + add tofu was my go to. I also had the power bowl + add chicken. Yum I’m getting hungry.

Clean, quiet, and delicious aromas! Looking for a healthy option? Forage Kitchen should be pinned for your next place to enjoy.
As a UW student, I come here at least twice a week during the school year. Today, I brought two visitors and there was a bug in one of their salads. When we showed the staff, they told us they could not see it and would only remake the bowl. After asking another staff member we got a refund. We understand that this stuff happens with fresh greens, but the staff was not apologetic or sympathetic in the matter.

On a street that seemingly has every salad/bowl place in existence, we randomly chose Forage for lunch. It wasn’t outstanding, but it was pretty good. The basic make your own bowl allows you to get greens, grains, beans and veggies for a low price if you choose within their rules.

We are reapear customers and normally enjoy the food.. My husband ordered a Make your Own with lentil meatballs. The lentil meatballs were burned and almost impossible to chew. I hope this was just a bad night.

Everything about this venture was good, except for the fact that the option to order pickup via DoorDash did not work from this location. It did show up correctly for their other location on State Street.
I would have given it five stars if I could have placed my order using the original method. I was ready to order and save 30%, but instead, I ended up ordering the old-fashioned way.

Forage Kitchen is consistently the best lunch option on state street. The manager and staff are so friendly, the food is always fresh and filling, and everything tastes WAY better than corporate sweet green across the street. Always happy to support this wonderful small business!
