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

Happy Cinco De Mayo!
I wonder why I woke up singing "Out came the sun and dried up all the rain, and the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again!" Hm, you think maybe because we just had 48 hours straight of pouring rain? Our yard is poquito swampy. How's yours?
So it is Cinco de Mayo. Our new fab bartender/manager at MetroFresh Midtown officially starts her reign tonight. Come by and have one of her special 5/5 margaritas to celebrate the day. You'll also want to try one of Chef Mike's amazing entrees. The Smoked Gouda Burger with Caramelized Onions and Chipotle Mayo is AMAZING. He serves it with some crispy charred Brussels Sprouts which are the perfect, healthy alternative to fries.
I worked the bar the last couple of nights, and while, with all the rain it was slow, I did have a few people sitting with me enjoying a cocktail or two. Years ago, when we first opened MetroFresh I put into my mission statement that we wanted to create a comfortable world where people come for the food but stay for the atmosphere. And with the lights turned down, candles on the tables, lounge music playing, and now cocktails flowing, the atmosphere is awesome! I hope you'll come see us for a cocktail sometime soon. We're open now 7 nights a week!
