Fresh To Order serves up delicious entrees, Panini sandwiches, soups and salads made-to-order in less than 10 minutes for around $10. It features high-quality, chef-inspired appetizers, entrees and desserts at affordable prices. The menu includes healthier options and a broad selection of tasty combinations including a crushed almond crusted tuna steak, brown sugar roasted pork loin with caramelized onion apricot chutney and ‘better for you’ black bean, bison and tuna burgers made in-house. Upon ordering, guests can watch as the kitchen crew fire up the grill and cook proteins like chicken, steak and fish to perfection. Dressings and soups are prepared from scratch twice-daily in-store.
New for Fresh To Order, the Greenville restaurant will offer delivery service for orders within a 3-mile radius of the restaurant. This is the first time any Fresh To Order restaurant has offered delivery. It will also include a Grab ‘n Go Case for busy diners who don’t have time to dine in. The Grab ‘n Go Case will offer Fresh To Order’s specialty flavored teas, homemade soups, salads and popular side dishes, such as grilled vegetables, macaroni and cheese, garlic mashed potatoes, and more.
Operators of the new Fresh To Order are Charlotte-based Real Restaurant Group, LLC, who will open five additional units in Charlotte, covering the territory from South Park to Uptown.
