Forage Kitchen — Restaurant in Madison

I had the chicken bacon caesar wrap yesterday (Sunday 9/28) at around 3pm. The food was very healthy overall but I was disappointed that the chicken served in the wrap probably was at least 3 hours old and dry and as tough as shoe leather. I saw it being put into the wrap by the gentleman, being scraped in from the bottom of the square container and I should have asked. I was unsure because it was my first visit. My friend and I ordered the same and his was very dry as well. I should have asked for a refund but I didn't. I also noticed that they weighing the salad. The entire time, while sitting outside, I was dreaming about the fresh chicken I would have received at the Chipotle next door and the salad that isn't weighed there. I can't recommend this restaurant. It was an especially clean location. The walls were painted wonderfully and the tall ceilings made it quite a nice place. The fresh ingredients looked wonderful as well. Please better track the timing of the...

Forage Kitchen has become one of my favorite go-to spots for genuinely tasty, healthy food. Their menu is packed with thoughtful, delicious combinations that don’t feel like a compromise between health and flavor. I love the Quinoa Salmon Bowl and the Thai Bowl—they’re loaded with fresh ingredients and bold flavors that make each bite interesting and satisfying. You really feel the quality in every meal, and it’s clear they prioritize both taste and nutrition.

What’s also amazing is how reliable they are for quick pickups. My to-go orders are always ready when promised, making it a perfect choice for a fast lunch or dinner when I’m short on time.

Forage Kitchen has really nailed it when it comes to offering fast, healthy food that doesn’t cut corners on taste. Highly recommend if you're looking for a nutritious meal that actually...

Update* Management also reached out to try to salvage customer retention and offered a refund for the poor meal I experienced. Original review:

Simply not healthy food during my visit. My bowl had something like 6-8 oz of juice resting at the bottom from what the chicken was soaked in. That literally made me feel sick and I legitimately had chest pain when I left from the sodium content. And I had 0 dressing on the entire bowl. It was the most unhealthy thing Ive had all week dating back to thanksgiving. These Build Your Own Bowl places need to try harder to not cut corners on making healthy dishes. Its still better quality than most of what you’ll get next door at Chipotle. Be wise out there friends!

Also side note- they tack on a tip automatically without asking when you order online. So heads up there. But these folks deserve the $ so its more of a heads up...
