Hello!
I founded MetroFresh with the notion that fresh, healthy, and creative food should not be out of reach for the casual diner. With a daily menu of soups, salads, sandwiches, breakfast entrees, “after work” small plates (Uptown), and dinner entrees (Midtown,) MetroFresh uses the freshest in-season ingredients, locally grown and organic when possible, to build unexpected flavor combinations you don’t often find at a fast-casual cafe.
Our mission has always been to create a friendly “oasis” where our guests can take a break from their hectic lives. “People are going to come for delicious, healthy food,” I told my original crew in 2005, “but they’ll come back because they had a great experience.”
You’ll notice alongside the “FOOD” below, a column of “THOUGHTS.” I’ve always believed MetroFresh would succeed because it’s a personal and communal experience. That very first day when I sent out a mass email with our daily menu, I began with a personal story about how I loved fresh food as a child. I’ve started every day after that writing down these random thoughts about food, family, and life. I’ve been doing it as a daily ritual for so many years I figure, why stop now? I hope you enjoy it. And I hope you come see us.
Mitchell Anderson, Founder and Creative Chef

You ever feel like you spend most of your time on the computer unsubscribing to the millions of emails that you never signed up for and somehow just keep coming at you like a daily tsunami? I do...
Now, I realize the irony in this and, no doubt, you'll probably scroll to the bottom of this email and click unsubscribe. I hope you don't, but I'll totally understand if you do. I get the value of being able to market via email. And when I'm serving up a Friday Special or have music on the patio, I need to get the message out. My problem is that in between all the junk there may be an actual important, must answer now email from a vendor or some government entity. Those get burried under the pile of emails from political candidates in Idaho, culinary blogers in Thailand, and the approximately 1M VANS emails I get every day. (In fairness during COVID I had a bit of a VANS Fetish and couldn't stop buying them, so I'm guessing their emails actually worked.)
This morning I took it upon myself to take the extra second to unsubscribe from the ones I caught. We'll see how long it lasts before, like mushrooms in the woods, they start growing again.
In the soup department you'll definitely want to try the Low Country Seafood and Rice. It has Lobster, Shrimp AND Tilapia and just the right amount of Low Country Seasoning. Come see us!
