My new workplace is close to Stovehouse, so I got a chance to come visit during my lunch break on Thursday. Been wanting to try Fresko Grille since it opened; overall, I was very happy with my experience.
As others have mentioned, this restaurant is very much like a Mediterranean Chipotle. You select a bowl or a wrap and fill it up with whatever toppings you like. There's a pretty large selection available!
I opted for a Chicken Shawarma Bowl. My base consisted of basmati rice. The toppings I chose: carrots, chickpeas, tomato and cucumber salad, red pepper hummus, tzatziki sauce, and a garlic sauce over my chicken (per the recommendations of the gentleman plating my food).
The staff was incredibly pleasant; they welcomed me, explained the process, provided tasty recommendations, and as I checked out, the woman working the register asked if it was my first time visiting. I said yes, and she said, with the sincerest smile, that she really hoped I enjoyed it. And I did! The red pepper hummus was faintly (very faintly) spicy, all the vegetables were cool, fresh, and clean tasting, and the chicken was flavorful, tender, and moist. It paired perfectly with the garlic sauce! My only small criticism was the bowl was maybe a little too wet/soggy in some parts. I'll just have to experiment with toppings more!
I did think the price was a little high for lunch (~$14 for the bowl and a soda), but the portions were very generous -- easily enough for two people, so maybe I'll bring a friend and split something next time. Fresko Grille will definitely get my...
Read moreI strongly encourage you to check this place out the next time you're at Stovehouse. It's like Subway, but with much more diverse toppings. You can go with either a wrap or a bowl, and you start off with hummus and then start piling everything on top of it. They leave it up to you as to whether you want it to be vegetarian or not, and if not, you can choose between chicken, pork and beef. And they have so many wonderfully pickled vegetables to throw on top of it. Once you pick it all out and they make it, they push it in some kind of panini press type of thing and wrap it in wax paper. It's easy to eat, it's not messy and it tastes delicious! What more could you want? Also, the staff was really super friendly and helpful. I told them that I'd never been there before and they really made sure that I got what I wanted. It was so delicious that it inspired some of the people that I went to lunch with to go there instead of what they were going to do before they saw my food! So give it a shot, I think you'll be glad...
