Fresh To Order

This place impressed me. Food is nice and fresh, low calorie options too. Curry salmon was the bomb!

The food here is good, no doubt, but the pricing is a bit of a turn off. Don’t get me wrong, I was totally in love with my sweet mashed potatoes and almond crusted chicken but at $ 12.50 for some chicken strips and a scoop of mashed potatoes… I probably won’t stop by on a mere whim again. Getting enough to fill up the boyfriend produced a fairly large bill for lunch. Ignoring the pricing, the restaurant is incredibly clean and the staff is on point when it comes to customer service. The main host/​cashier was quick to take any empty plates and check up on us as we were eating.

As an out-​of-​towner, this is such a cool concept! It’s fast food, but it’s a deli, and it really is fresh to order!
I would not have guessed that I could have a nicely seared rare tuna steak meal in a jiffy at a quick lunch spot! Everything was really good, and I would definitely come back.

Maybe they’re having an off night. It just seem to be very chaotic at the restaurant when I ate there last week. They screwed up by serving three out of the four diners at one time. The forth diner in my party had to wait for her meal approximately 20 minutes after we got hers. Being that the kitchen is open we heard quite clearly that they literally forgot to cook her meal. In addition The next two diners after me also had problems with their orders coming out way too late.
As far as the meals itself it was 50 – 50, out of the four diners two enjoy their meal and two did not the biggest complaint was that the chicken breast not flavorful and extremely bland.

I had the Salmon and Sweet Potato mash with an appetizer of the Ahi Tuna. All three items were amazing. Super flavorful and fresh, and the salmon and Ahi tuna were cooked just right. I had never heard of this place, but with the quality and decently-​priced food, i’ll definitely be back.

Yes it’s fresh! You can taste it in their food. This place has got it figured out when it comes to serving quality food in a reasonable amount of time. Definitely recommend this place, it’s simply delicious.

They don’t have many choices for vegetarians (other than different salads, soup and black bean burger). I went there for lunch and tried the Vegan Lentil Soup and Asian Salad (combo of soup and salad). And I loved it. The portions were big. In fact I couldn’t finish all. Overall a good place, good food and customer service was not bad either. Everything looked fresh.

I just moved down to the Waterford Lakes area of Orlando about a week ago and decided to venture out tonight to grab a bite to eat by myself. I always drive by this place when I’m doing my shopping at the Town Center, but never get a chance to stop. Tonight, I did and I am so glad!
I walked in and was immediately greeted by a gentleman named Lucas. He asked if I had ever been there before, which I responded with a «No, I haven’t» and he handed me a menu. He let me know that he was there if I had any questions.
I went with the half tomato mozzarella panini with a house salad. It cost about $ 10 without a drink (as I was just taking it home anyway.)
Everything was SOOO good. The panini was just enough sandwich for me, and I am so glad I didn’t go with the whole serving. (I really appreciate when restaurants offer half servings because not everyone is a big eater!) The mozarella and tomatoes were fresh and the pesto was amazing. Of course, finished off with some balsamic vinaigrette to make it oh so tasty.
A house salad is typically a house salad, but I wasn’t disappointed at all! It was your typical house salad but with golden raisins, tomatoes, and possibly cucumber. I ordered it with honey mustard dressing, which made a great side to my sandwich.
The salad came with a little buttery croissant… and let me tell you, it was possibly the best part of my meal. Weird, I know. But it was just enough sweet and just enough buttery, which made me fall in love. I could eat 72 of them if I had the opportunity…
I will definitely be returning now that I live in the area! I can’t wait to try something else like a burger or a dessert from the case or one of the delicious looking sides I saw coming out for other guests!
If you are looking for something quick and healthy, please try this place out!

A place that keeps me coming back. Great food, delicious combinations of ingredients, everything looks and tastes fresh, the portions are large and the prices are affordable. I crave their bison burger. I also order their soups and salads as well. I have yet to have a bad meal here. The manager also always stops by each table to make sure everyone is happy. Those free sweet croissants that come with each meal is a nice touch too!
They also have a customer loyalty program where after 10 hole punches in your card you get $ 5 off your next order! I hit my 10^th hole today! I’m going back next week! Maybe I will get one of their huge cookies or yummy cupcakes next time! Woo hoo!

Food here is full of flavor, staff welcomes you with a smile and the quality of the ingredients leaves you feeling good about what you ate. This is a fantastic dinning option near UCF that truly lives up to the name. The staff here displayed great team work, all appeared to be happy to be at work and produced an amazing sandwich for a fair price. Highly recommend this great place for a meal.

I had been wanting to go here for a while now. I loved it! I ordered the Spinach Salad with the Chicken Tortilla Soup and they were both really good! My friends ordered the Chicken Tenders and the Almond Crusted Tuna and they were also great. The mashed potato side was very tasty. I would come back without a doubt! Dying to try the cookies they have!

I recommend trying Fresh to Order.

I’m really indifferent about this place. The first time I came, I head the girls in front of me talking about how great the salmon sandwich is… I ordered it. It fell apart as I attempted to eat it. I was like gross.
And when you walk in it’s hard to tell what to order. I won’t go back, but I’m sure people still love this place.
I went again with a friend. I still didn’t like it. Just not my thing.

Fantastic food joint for something light and healthy. The portions are pretty big and you never leave feeling hungry. They usually include a small honey croissant with every meal as well.
I loved their caesar salad. So many veggie/​vegan options as well! My favorite feature would be their water station. They have a ton of flavored waters and you can pick whichever you’d like, for free. They usually have a neat selection of iced tea as well.

It took me a few tries to really appreciate Fresh to Order, but I think i’m finally coming around to it. The first few times that I ate at the Waterford Lakes location, I wasn’t blown away by the taste and the higher prices did not help the cause. My last trip, however, really impressed me with their offering.
The Coconut Curry Salmon with roasted corn nut relish and wheat berry rice really blew my socks off with the great flavor and great cook on the salmon. Their fresh juice offering had a really delicious Strawberry Mojito Lemonade. My wife got their small plate Chicken Skewers and Wild Mushroom soup, which were equally delectable.
Go to Fresh to Order and give them a try!

Man, I was thoroughly surprised with this place. I stopped into Waterford around lunch time to do some errands and thought I’d stop in there since I was hungry. There were a bunch of options to choose from and everything appeared to be healthy and inexpensive. I opted for the brown sugar roasted pork loin that came with apricot chutney, a small side of salad and I switched the sweet mashed potatoes for a corn and nut salad. It came out quickly and was actually really good! That corn salad was my jam though! I’m definitely gonna come back when I’m in the area to try out more stuff.
Recent discovery: if you check-​in on Unilocal,you get $ 2 off your order.

My husband and I come here quite a bit because of its reliability. There’s never really any long lines for ordering and the food is brought to your table once the order is placed. The place is big enough to accommodate a stroller if need be.
There’s plenty of parking spaces out front not so much on the side. There’s also a greeter when you walk in to hand you a menu and direct you to the front of the line.
All in all… usually a pleasant experience.

I had been wanting to try Fresh to Order for sometime now, and I finally did today! I really appreciated the concept: healthy fast food that looks very well presented.
My boyfriend and I shared the calamari appetizer and the almond chicken skewer entrée with garlic mashed potatoes. The calamari was okay but I wish they didn’t put the sauce on the bottom because it made the calamari soggy. The chicken skewers lacked flavor but the sauces on the side helped with that. The mashed potatoes were delicious and I couldn’t stop eating them!
My favorite part of the restaurant was the juice bar they had. They ranged from cucumber water to sweet tea to mango lemonade. Delicious! Next time I’ll probably try something different like their paninis.

I like the idea of Fresh to Order a lot, but the food and service were a bit disappointing.
We arrived shortly before closing. When we walked in an employee came up to us right away and asked if we needed menus. There was no line so we quickly scanned the menu and ordered. We ordered our food to go since they were obviously closing soon. My husband ordered the pork loin, I ordered the ½ Waldorf chicken panini with chicken tortilla soup, and our daughter ordered the kids coconut chicken. We also ordered the seared tuna appetizer.
We were given a number and told to wait… we grabbed a table near the register and sat down. I think the wait was fair, probably about 10 minutes. One of the employees brought the food out to us and we were on our merry way.
When we got home and opened up the cartons my first reaction was that they had forgotten my sandwich, but it was in fact there, it was just so small that I had mistakenly thought it was crackers, or some other side that had come with our meals. It was a ridiculously tiny sandwich. And it was just OK tasting. The soup was better, but I really did a terrible job of ordering. The entrees my husband and daughter picked were much larger portions and looked really good.
The tuna appetizer was a bust. To me it tasted watery. Possibly from the shredded cabbage it was sitting on, or it had just been soaking in water. Not really sure, but for the first time ever I left tuna unfinished. The cracker-​sized panini was better.

I was having possibly the worst day of my life, and this place brought me back!
On a more serious note, this is now my favorite restaurant in Waterford Lakes. They make everything fresh in their kitchen– including items like calamari!
I decided to try some of the small-​plate appetizers. I ordered two items thinking I would order a third later. Since I was in Waterford Lakes, and the price was around $ 5 for each appetizer, I figured I wouldn’t get too full. WRONG! I couldn’t even finish both. Anyone who knows how I eat knows that’s saying something good about the portion size.
First I had the Crispy Calamari, some of the best I’ve had in Orlando. You can tell it’s freshly made! The sauce is strong, so I recommend getting it on the side. Next was the Brown Sugar Roasted Pork Loin. Amazing! It was tender enough to cut with a butter knife. The mashed sweet potatoes were fabulous! Almost as important as the food being fresh, it was also piping hot! That’s becoming a rarity in restaurants nowadays.
High quality food with great prices. There is no question that I will be back soon and bringing others with me!
