Food is so delicious, healthy great portion sizes! They stock pressed juices and make acai bowls. i will be coming back!!
Brittany was extremely nice helpful. Very nice customer service. My favorite place to go for quality food and quality food definitely check it out!!
First time here, Michaela and MJ were awesome helping choose what to get and informing me on the weight loss meals. Will definitely be back!
Very tasty food. A vast variety of flavors! The staff is soooo friendly! I’ll be back.
The employees here are very friendly. I really like the atmosphere of the restaurant and of course the food taste great! Definitely makes you want to continue eating healthy!
Brittney was amazing. Great costumer service 💕 made my smoothie as I requested. I was in and out and she was very kind and very welcoming
Very nice staff but awful food quality. Braised chicken is a confusing idea and def was not good. The other chicken option was equally as dismal. Could taste the freezer burn. Prob some of the worst tasting chicken I’ve had in years. Soggy food all around and over cooked sweet potato noodles. Menu needs to be revamped. def no fresh kitchen or bolay
Brittany is the best and everyone the there is so nice and knowledgeable and it super clean! Feta rocks
They got me right today with this super 🥣 bowl for lunch, I would have to say that its a touchdown pass from Stephanie and Katie who went above and beyond to make sure another customer has been satisfied with their experience at vale food Co. I will suggest this place to anyone looking for a clean food source, for a healthy choice on where to eat, vale food Co. Is full of flavors that continue to please 😋🙌
The food is really good. The service is fast and the portions are awesome. I love the dragonfruit lemonade. I hope they keep the prices inside the store the same because it’s very simple food. I will definitely be back.
I walked in at 9:46 AM. I let the server behind the counter know that I’m vegan and that this was my first time coming in. She said we’re not serving anything hot until 10 o’clock. I said but I see everything sitting out here it is it not ready? She said oh that food is ready but not all of it is out yet. I saw many vegan options in front of me that I would’ve been happy with. Everything looked good and smelled good. I just didn’t want to stand there for 14 minutes. So, I told her that I would eat somewhere else and she said OK.
Food tasted okay but did it sit well in the stomach. Everything looked kind of old and crusty. Potential is there but not digesting easily for us.
The food was amazing been looking for a place like this, with the food choices. The manager actually took my order she was so helpful with answering different questions. Very nice person. The place was clean which is #1 with me. My supervisor bowl below the turkey spinach feta meatballs. Omg so good. Oh yes and did I say I ate off my bowl for three days. ❤️😋💯
Great food, extremely inconsistent. They are usually out of at least half of the options. Tonight I drove across the bridge only to find out they were only making/out of all the vegetables but mushrooms…I think the communication between the kitchen and serving table is poor. Another time they were out of all the proteins but 2, and said they weren’t making more, only to have 3 more set out after I had already ordered.A different time they were out of the smaller bowls so my only option was a large. I should think they could give me the option to use a large bowl with less food in it and just charge me for a small? But this is not the type of place that makes accommodations for customers. I gave them many chances, but overall I have just been disappointed too many times to go back.
Vale is the best healthy food around. I go every Sunday to pick up a family plater. ❤️❤️❤️ The best food you can eat. My stomach is sensitive and when eating Vale I never have any problems. I love you guys!!!
I had the Feta Turkey Meatballs , Cilantro Brown Rice and Broccoli for a quick lunch last Saturday. The Turkey meat balls were extremely dry and bland . The chocolate chip cookie was amazing! I’m going to give them another try . Maybe it was just a bad day.
I buyer Vale every. Their family pack. Lol 😅 if it wasnt for their healthy I have no clue on what I would eat. Vale is definitely 5 stars 🤩 🤩
My wife & I come to Vale Food Co Jacksonville FL, EVERY Friday for lunch! We Love this place so much - we drive 40 minutes every Friday to enjoy the food and get the great service!! Heather & crew are AWESOME! I keep pleading /suggesting they open another store closer to us… in Fleming Island/Orange Park area! Crossing fingers!!!
My first time here. WOOOOOOW WEEEEE. I got a super bowl and loaded up. I dont eat meat. Everything was Mmm Mmm Good.I got Lemon Garlic, Kale, Quinoa, Broccoli, Sweet Potatoes (taste great for us soul food lovers), Vegan Tenders, Teriyaki Chick Pea Medly with soy protein, Tumeric Onioms and Peppers..i fot Bizaaaay.2 words...HURRY UP AND GET THERE. ⛷🏂🏇🏻🏄🏽♀️🚣🏾♂️🏊🏽♂️⛹🏾♂️🚴🏾♀️🚴🏾♂️🤸🏾♀️🚵🏽♀️🚵🏽♂️🏍🤸🏾♀️
Vegan chorizo broccoli rice this location and dining room area are very good too
For what you get the prices are a bit pricey. I had something of everything and ate here about a week ago. Their regular bowls are okay, not bad. Their smoothie bowls are super delicious through, would definitely come back for one of those, the price is really high for what you get through (small portions). Their drinks are average, but again super pricey. I think this place is over charging people for what they are getting. Food is great, but again is it affordable?
We were very disappointed at the entire experience. To begin, the online menu gives options for acai bowls and smoothies, but they are not displayed at all in the restaurant. So, I ordered nothing because an acai bowl is what I wanted. There were packaged cold pressed juices available, but the price for 10 oz. of pre packaged juice was $8. (In earnest, I dont recall the exact oz. of the juice, but, I know for certain it was less than 16 oz.It was close to the end of the evening, but, they were still open, so there should have been ample food. My Goddaughter ordered what she could see on the menu or what was in the pans before us: a regular bowl with cilantro lime brown rice, spinach and arugula, vegan buffalo chicken, turmeric onions and peppers, balsamic mushrooms 2 slices of avocado and avocado ceasar sauce. They were out of the buffalo chicken tenders and the mushrooms. They prepared the tenders fairly quickly, but the mushrooms didnt get made, until we were at the register and she reimded the young lady preparing her bowl who asked the kitchen and was in turn told it would be 5 minutes. While we were waiting for them, the rest of her food already in the bowl was getting cold and we were told there was a $2 up charge for her 2 slices of avocado. She had already paid for this meal when she realized her order was not complete, so we sat and waited. Once the mushrooms and avocado were added to her bowl, she asked that her sauce be on the side, and the 1 sauce she was given was in a container maybe 1 oz. in size. She asked for a second sauce (curry somethingand it was put in her bag as well. thankfully she did because she needed them both to have enough sauce to complete her meal. Over all the flavors were nothing that stood out and everything was so,so. She said, it was definitely no better than bowls she has had at places like Panera yet it was much more costly. She paid more than $18 for the bowl alone. We wont be returning, and again, were very disappointed. It seems to be capitalizing on its location, but not providing service or taste to match. We do not recommend.
We were the only customers when we walked in. Staff may be friendly but Service was SLOW. 30 minute wait for 2 orders of basic avocado toast. I ordered a salmon bowl and it was 15 min wait at least. Spent over $100 for poor quality food and service. Many options were unavailable and by the time I had finished my bowl I got my macha. Poorly Run establishment. Sad because there’s potential in health conscious restaurants like this. Oh well. Never again.
This food is so amazing I have gotten the pulled chicken or shrimp which is great. The rice was so soft and tasty. Now the avocado Caesar dressing is so amazing with the shaved almonds. They definitely have it going on and I have already eaten there three times in five days lol. I will definitely go back and go back again lol.
I have always enjoyed eating at Vale. In the past, the food has been very well seasoned and full of flavor. Today was an entirely different experience. My meal was lacking in flavor. The turkey meatballs were bland and dry. The quinoa was dry and needed more seasoning, and the roasted broccoli tasted more like steamed broccoli. It did not have the rich roasted flavor that I love. I passed many restaurants on my way from Fleming Island to eat at Vale in Brooklyn so I was very disappointed. Every restaurant can have a bad day once in a while. I hope this was just one of those days and not a trend.
Food is always amazing! I recently ordered via Uber Eats. My driver stole my meal and never delivered it. Vale was so kind and made me a new bowl for re-delivery. Highly recommend this place!
Ive known about Vale for a while and decided on a whim to try it this week. The food is fantastic. I thought Chipotle was really the only good place to get healthy FRESH food on the go, but no, Vale is even better in my opinion. Ive been multiple times this week already and get something different every time. Healthy has never tasted so good. The cold press juices are awesome as well (they sell out quick). Highly recommend! Im definitely a new regular.
Great flavors, great customer service. Just wish that the serving line was a bit faster to get through when eating in and when ordering out that the orders were correct. Never did take out again after an incorrect order; they were nice enough to refund but was left hungry!
Nice and healthy place to eat or take out, flavors were good and the back seating area is nice and relax. The only thing is theres not salads and I really was looking for one. Customer service was good too.
I needed something healthy-ish and had low expectations because I really wanted a burger. But this place was outstanding. Id eat there repeatedly if I lived in the area.
Its a good, quick option for food that is on the healthy side. The turkey meatballs are great when theyre not sold out and I like being able to customize my bowl depending on my mood. They are often out of stuff. Its like they dont anticipate how much food they need routinely. It has been this way for a long time. Today I didnt get the kale because they were out of it and they were out of all of the base greens. The other thing thats not necessarily a knock, but is for us is that every protein has some level of spice. Normally, I love that, but I cant really get food for my toddler there. I have a high spicy food tolerance so pre-baby me loved it. Its just not convenient for the little one.
I thought this was a great idea considering not to many healthy restaurants options however, the worst experience ever. The restaurant is always out of things. Something is always broken and you cannot place an order over the phone. God forbid to go in and place the order, you still going to wait every bit of 30 minutes? That could have been my drive. Great concept wrong execution they need to go back to the drawing board.
I enjoyed my acai bowl and the drink, the lady at the register was very nice and helpful , the man making the bowl was on point, my experience was great and I will be back!
I used to love the Food here. I would drive miles to get there. The last couple of visits were trash. The food was horrible to say the least. They have added so much salt that it’s not edible. The Chef has turned a healthy option eatery to Trying to taste like Soul Food Bistro. I know I am not the only one who feels this way. Even during the pandemic they had a long lunch line. Now barely anybody frequents anymore…SAD
This food is probably great when you order in person, but ordering my dinner online seems to have been a challenge. Ordered through Uber Eats. The restaurant forgot to add balsamic tomatoes to my bowl. Worse, the restaurant or the delivery driver seem to have forgotten my drink [“My drink!? My Diet Dr Kelp!? Don’t tell me that you forgot my drink!!”]And lastly, I did not like the flavor of the braised beef. I was expecting savory beef, strong beef flavor hint of onion like we do it in the upper-mid-west, more savory than spice. Vale’s braised beef however has some tomato tang, is sweet, and also has a bit of a peppery kick (?). Tasty in its own right, but not what I was expecting, and totally did not go with how I had outfitted the rest of my bowl (clashing flavors), thus nearly ruining it.On a positive note, all of the ingredients were cooked perfectly.
I went in for the first time this evening and had a great experience. The gentleman who helped us was very nice. I ordered a vegan bowl (I am not vegan but all of the vegan options looked greatand was not disappointed. My food and juice were both great. Will definitely be back.
Found a great restaurant. Hungry and googling did me right.The smell will knock you down when you walk in the door 🤤 😍@valefoodco has an amazing selection of fresh vegan and non vegan choices were delicious. I created my own bowl to come up with a sweet and savory.(Sorry no pictures; it was so good…. You will not be disappointed plus customer service is 💯!
Every dish is flavor packed and extremely fulfilling. Some times the service is amazing and others it’s been a tad, meh, but the food is freaking amazing and deserves a 5. I’ll just grab it and go 😘
Friendly, fast and efficient serviceGreat place for vegans and carnivore lovers.Dine on patio as well as indoors.Super clean place!!
Ordered the sweet earth bowl via ubereats tonight which was supposed to have sweet potato noodles, teriyaki chicken and broccoli in a small bowl and my order was completely wrong. I received a bowl of quinoa, bland chicken and broccoli. The broccoli was the only thing correct in this order. Very disappointed to spend $15 on an incorrect and flavorless order!
Food was just OK. Quinoa was dry & broccoli was flavorless. Rice, cauliflower & other vegetables were good. The smoothie was good. My biggest concern was cleanliness. Even though the restaurant was relatively empty, tables werent cleaned between customers & something sticky was spilled on the floor.
I like the custom bowls with the variety of veggi food they offer. However the poke bowl I got the other day was wayyy to tiny for the price and was not good at all.
Well, Ive given this place a number of tries and Ive been disappointed each time. This is the only location Ive been to, so I dont know if theres a discrepancy just at this one or this is the standard.The food seems dried out, old, overseasoned, over-greased & overcooked.The thick dried hummus paste I was just served just tasted bitter and looked like its been in there for weeks. I had to scrape it out of my bowl it was so off putting.Im just confused. Especially because there have been so many glowing reviews. I am afraid I dont wish to give it another chance.
I initially gave them an excellent review. But I am changing that now. In the midst of a pandemic, 2 of the three employees in sight had their masks around their chins. And when customers asked them to pull them up, they got nasty and said they didnt have to because they were "social distancing"...they were maybe at best a yard from customers, so very far from 6 feet! And indoors, serving at a restaurant in a city with a mask order. Heres a picture of one of the employees arguing with customers, mocking them for saying the virus is airborne. Reported to the city and state licensing board. And NEVER going back.
Great variety of vegan and vegetarian options! Such a creative and unconventional menu that will extend your palette! Definitely a good mix if you want a taste that’s different from mundane fast food.
So let me start off by saying the food I got tasted GREAT. No complaints there, it was delicious and filling. I WILL be going back to the Riverside Vale Food Co. in the future to try their other menu offerings. The food alone is why I gave them 3 stars.However I do have some complaints. If the food wasn’t so good my review would only be a 1 star. I ordered delivery from DoorDash and got a large size bowl with feta added and a 24oz drink. As soon as my delivery driver arrived and gave me my order I knew the drink was wrong. Sure enough on the bottom of the cup it said 16oz, not 24oz. The drink (dragonfruit lemonadetasted really good though.When I got upstairs and opened my bag I saw my to-go container was open. I’m lucky the food didn’t spill out all over the bottom of my bag. And the plastic lid on my food was like... warped, and almost looked melted from the heat of my food inside? Photo attached. I’m guessing the plastic starting to melt made the lid pop off in the bag but if that’s the case they need to use different to-go containers for their food.Finally, the bowl I ordered was missing the feta cheese that I paid extra for. I also wrote in the special instructions asking for both chipotle ranch and curry honey mustard to be on the side, because I haven’t tried either of those sauces before and didn’t know which I’d like. They DID give me the mustard on the side, but no chipotle ranch. I didn’t end up liking the mustard so I ate my bowl dry, no sauce. Kinda disappointing.The good news is when I reported my order inaccuracies to DoorDash they gave me a $10 credit. But Vale Food Co. needs to tighten up a bit on their order accuracy. Their food is way too delicious to be sending it out to customers incorrectly!
Oh my goodness Im hooked!! I have been coming here for about six months or so and am a frequent flyer so to speak! Everything Ive tried has been amaizing! The food is SO FRESH! The employees so friendly and personable there always helping me find what Im in the mood for and offering suggestions! Ive tried almost every base, veggie and meat and all are exceptional!! There dressings are so light and tasty! I never feel like Ive eaten fat food.
Pictured are Sriracha Chicken Meatballs, quinoa, sweet potatoes and mushrooms. The flavors were excellent and the food was hot and tasty. A great choice for a quick, healthy meal.The ordering process for a first-timer is overwhelming, and the servers were impersonal and less than accommodating. The place wasn’t that busy, but they treated us like they were serving grand central station. The food wasn’t correctly labeled and the system was confusing. Now that I’m familiar with ordering system, I’d go back and try again.Tip: Study up on the menu before your first visit!
Very quick and easy, courteous and knowledgeable staff, good portion sizes for various levels of hunger, and somewhat reasonably priced for the type of food and quality of ingredients. When buying the regular sized bowl, you can either plan to eat all of it at once if very hungry or eat half and take the other half home with you.
I love this place for multiple different reasons. First and most of all the food is awesome tasting and actually health for you. There are tons of options that fit within strict diets. A regular bowl you get two sides two meats and two veggies, plus topping. A ton of food for relatively inexpensive prices. They have kombucha on tap .... Awesome. And its fast casual so you can be in and out in minutes. Great for lunch, a quick dinner or after a work out. Highly recommend this place.
