I haven't order had afood from here in a whilenso i tried placing an online order. It recquired me to select no bread to add the food to my order (why have that option if there is no option.)
But the main problem is when i tried submitting the order, i got an error saying the store was too busy for online orders. Again, why have online orders if theyre not available.
I enjoyed the food previously, the toppings available changed since then (maybe seasonal black beans), but i cant even place the order.

This restaurant is located within the Hillsdale Shopping Center. This restaurant offers healthy salads, bowls and plates that are locally sourced for an affordable price.

Almost everything on their menu is initially vegetarian or vegan but you can add meat proteins like chicken.

The customer service here is excellent!

There is a large free parking lot for the shopping center. You have to walk a little ways into the shopping center to get to Forage Kitchen.

I loved this place! The Med Bowl is my go-to for dinner—so fresh and packed with veggies. The prices are reasonable, and they offer both indoor and outdoor seating. Be sure to join their app to get awesome discounts, including on your very first order!

Paul and the employee that answered the phone (not sure of name) were so kind when I had a poor uber delivery experience. Paul went above and beyond to make sure I received my order and did so in a timely matter. Very grateful for the excellent customer service. Will continue supporting this specific location.

Forage in general is one of my fav places to dine, regardless of location the are always consistent! I had one order at this location that forgot some additions to my order. I called and asked for them to refund the additions and they really went above and beyond with their customer service - and over something so small - it truly left a lasting effect. I will be back. Thank you Forage!! :)

I’ve eaten here several times over the years, as I live close by. It’s been a while since my last visit, and had a craving tonight, so ordered pick up. When I got home & sat down to eat, I was incredibly disappointed in the quantity of food I received (and I added—and paid for—additional ingredients). My bowls have always been filled to the top, usually past the top and into the extended lid space, and this time the bowl was barely 2/3 full. I understand increasing prices if they need to cover increased costs on their end (facility, wages, ingredients, etc.), but don’t give less food when your longtime customers expect what they’ve consistently gotten in the past. That said, it was delicious as expected, but not filling enough.

Update: After responding to a survey they emailed me, the manager did refund the full price of my meal. So I will give them another chance in the coming months and update my review if I have a better experience.

Great food for in store, pickup and/or delivery. Also enjoyable rewards program. Accurate food and timing each time. The only downfall is when they run out of sourdough bread when ordering later in the day and feel like this could be mitigated somehow?

I truly love this place and would come here multiple times a week before I realized that the “oil” they use in everything is canola oil. Not to be dramatic but how heartbreaking that such a wonderful place who claims to be health-conscious uses one of the worst things you could possibly put in your body

Good selection of soup, salads, and bowls.
All the ingredients not only seemed fresh but also were tasty and healthy for you. Prices seemed reasonable.
I became a fan and would recommend to anyone who is trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

I used to be a die hard Forage fan but over the past couple years the quality and value for the price has gone way down. Multiple locations have started to really skimp on the greens (some even weighing them!?), barely covering the bottom of the bowl. I come to Forage to get a salad and the most essential ingredient is nearly nowhere to be found. Staff seem to be not trained well as they frequently forget multiple ingredients for items off the standard menu. Many times the forbidden rice is hard and nearly chip a tooth. For $15 I would expect a better quality salad. Really hope to see improvements soon.

First time for me at Forage Kitchen… wow that was really delicious!

I am a tried-and-true omnivore… Not a vegetarian, not vegan… But I have to tell you what I had at forage kitchen today makes me think I could actually be a vegetarian

I had a salad with tempeh protein and it was just spectacular !

The restaurant itself is very pleasant for sitting and having lunch, outdoor seating and good weather is beautiful as well

The staff is so gracious and helpful happy people serving, happy customers…

I totally recommend forage kitchen, and will be back again!

I go to forage every time I forget to grab a lunch from home. The people are always incredibly friendly & make sure to greet anybody who is waiting in line. I’ve sat in & ordered take out. Both experiences have been equally great, with clean & kind dining, great portions & prices, and nutritious, locally sourced, & satisfying meals. The seasonal specials are always to die for & their vegan cookies are my favorite.

Nice outdoor tables to eat at!

It appears that customers can no longer create their own salad specifying ingredients of their choosing.

Anyway, I dined their twice recently selecting the cashew bowl with chicken. The first time, it was quite pleasing and a slice of bread was offered. The second time, no bread was offered AND when it was too late, I realized the chicken had NOT been included. (Second time was June 17, 2022 approximately 5:30PM).

I was very skeptical of this place but it's really pretty good! Not as overpriced as I thought, but adding meat adds up. A ramen place will charge a dollar for an egg they marinate for four hours, but Forage charges double that for a plain egg :/ Only use the plastic/plant starch forks, the metal ones aren't always clean.
