Revolving Kitchen Fairview — Restaurant in Fairview

WARNING: Exploitative, Unethical, and Misleading – Revolving Kitchen, Fairview, TX

To all food entrepreneurs and small business owners: avoid Revolving Kitchen in Fairview, TX at all costs. This place is not what it claims to be. Behind the glossy marketing is a fraudulent, controlling, and abusive operation designed to drain your resources, steal your privacy, and sabotage your success.

🛑 Owner Disappears After Lease Signing

Before the lease is signed, the owner is friendly and promises flexibility and support. The moment you sign, he disappears, and the terms you agreed to suddenly change. From then on, you’re left dealing with hostile, controlling management who impose surprise fees, restrictions, and micromanagement.

💸 Unreasonable Rent, Sales Cuts & Financial Manipulation • $6,000/month for only 200 sq ft of kitchen space. • 18% of your total sales is taken by management—no real transparency. • Order data and financial records are questionable and inconsistent, raising serious concerns about tampering or manipulation. • Operators have no independent access to verify transactions.

📈 Customers Are Paying the Price

Due to these outrageous fees, operators are forced to raise their menu prices, which is why food from this facility is often overpriced. Management openly assumes they can charge more because “Fairview is wealthy.” This mindset is both disrespectful and greedy—it hurts customers and destroys the integrity of honest food operators trying to make a living.

📹 Constant Surveillance & Recipe Theft

Cameras are installed in every kitchen, not just for security, but to spy on your cooking process. There are serious concerns about intellectual property theft, with management allegedly watching and copying recipes and techniques for their own benefit.

🚫 Unsafe & Unprofessional Environment

Employees have been observed drinking alcohol and using marijuana while working on-site. This is a major safety and sanitation issue, and management turns a blind eye—or worse, participates.

💥 Management = Controlling & Abusive

Operators are treated like employees, not business owners. Management interferes constantly, makes threats, and creates a toxic environment. You’re not allowed to grow your business freely—you’re controlled and watched.

❗ Deposit Scam

Just like many others, we never received our deposit back. They stop communicating after you leave and provide no explanation. This seems to be an intentional part of their business model.

📣 Legal Action in Progress

We’ve already filed a formal complaint with the State of Texas and are working with other former operators to hold this business accountable for its fraudulent and unethical behavior.

BOTTOM LINE: Revolving Kitchen in Fairview, TX is not a place for honest food entrepreneurs. It’s a profit-driven trap that bleeds small businesses dry and overcharges local customers under the false belief that “everyone in Fairview can afford it.”..

In a post-Eddy Burback's exposé on Ghost Kitchens world, I am not surprised at this new pivot for ghost kitchens as an all-in-one dining experience. It was a fun, if confusing, experience where, in theory, everyone in our dining party of various preferences and dietary requirements can all find something to eat. In theory.

Our vegan friend really struggled for a number of reasons. Many of the restaurants' menus don't contain much information on what is actually in their dishes which is not helpful when you're worried about things like allergens. We had to hit the "I have a question button" in their website, which prompted an employee to come talk to us after 5ish minutes about what was in a specific dish. She called another employee who went to the back to talk to the kitchen and eventually returned with the information we needed. By this point some of our other table mates had already received their food and half of us had yet to order. After finding a vegan dish, we discovered that the website was, in some still unknown way, incompatible with our friend's phone (a Google Pixel 8 on the Firefox browser) as it would not let them order anything from half the restaurants that were open that night, including the one with vegan dishes. I ended up ordering on their behalf from my phone which was operating fine.

My food was good and we did have fun but it was a bit stressful trying to sort out details about allergens, navigating all the menus on our phones and trying to make sure the technology worked, and whatnot. It was also a bit awkward how staggered everyone's meal times were where some of us finished eating before others had received their food.

I could see this place becoming really lively if they iron out some kinks and make the contents of the dishes more clear for...

My family and I tried Revolving Kitchen for the first time last night and we won't be coming back. I ordered from the Indian restaurant, and my meal came out covered in chopped onions, which is never mentioned in the description or can be seen in the photo on the menu (photo on the menu provided for reference). We mentioned this to an employee and he asked someone from the kitchen to come speak to us about getting the order fixed. The guy from the kitchen told me it was my fault for not making a note to let him know I didn't want onions. I explained that the menu never said or showed that the food would come with chopped onions, so why would I note that? He continued to argue with me, and eventually said he would remake the meal as long as I tell him in the future not to put onions on my food (that it wasn't supposed to come with in the first place). After the rest of my family had finished their meals and my ice cream dessert had melted, my remade meal finally came out - completely dry (second photo for reference).

The atmosphere and other restaurants were fine - my son really liked his catfish, but the guy from the Indian restaurant was such a jerk that nobody wants to come back...
