“Good food bowl for lunch. Food mall is usually busy in these hours. Taste 👍🏻”
“I tried FARE at an event recently and to say I was blown away is an understatement. If the food was THIs good with a small event kitchen, I can not image how tasty it must be in the restaurant. Definitely try the avocado toast! Not only is the food incredible but the two women who created FARE are amazing. I proudly support them. Stay tuned for a restaurant review!

“LOVE THE PEOPLE HERE! Energy is great! Phil, Elijah, and Nico will take care of you, and they all make great recommendations. Food is great too.”
“I had a build your own bowl! The food here is yummy and my glucose levels didn’t spike! I have the veggies and salad base, sweet potatoes wedges (so freaking yummy), carrots, and broccoli, chicken, and red pepper sauce -nice kick to it all! It was $16-18 no drink… kinda pricey but I enjoyed it. Nice break from all the fast food fried foods and it’s packed! The worker was so friendly and shared suggestions since it was my first time there. Seating is a hit or miss there, lunch time does get packed!”
“Took forever for the salad to be ready, and they charged me $6 for a tiny piece of Salmon. Most expensive salmon I’ve ever ate.”
“I recently ordered catering from Food by Ferry and I have to say—it was absolutely incredible. I’m still craving it days later, which says everything. The whole process was so easy and organized—they connected me with a dedicated person who handled everything, stayed in touch via text, and made any edits effortless. They brought so much food, and what really stood out was that even the leftovers stayed fresh and flavorful for a couple of days—nothing dried out. All of my family and friends kept saying how good they felt after eating—not overly full or bloated, just satisfied and happy. I only wish they had a location in the southwest suburbs because I would be there all the time, probably for lunch almost every day. Highly recommend!”
“Warning: the smoky chicken bowl keeps drawing me back again, again, and again!”
“Super friendly staff! Food is so yummy!!! I came here completely new and figured I'd try this place out. I immediately felt welcomed and the chicken bowl is soo good. I will travel all the distance to go here again.”
“This is one of the most amazing places that I come to. It has everything that I could ever want to eat. Fresh items made every day. I love the staff here! The guy Phil who works there is a cool guy! He’s always happy to help anyone and always gets me in and out. Anytime I’m in the area I have to come here!”
“Went to the food hall to try something new and ran into Fare. I didn't know what to get but Phil was so kind and knowledgeable, he recommended me a bowl that will definitely have me coming back as a loyal customer. 10/10 for the food and customer service.”
