Reviews


Now, you have 5529 ratings from 11 website(s) at your disposal. The midpoint review for FareStart Restaurant is 4.6, denoting that this restaurant is incredibly well regarded by its guests. Visiting Lola's was a bit of a letdown for one reviewer who found the restaurant closed despite Yelp indicating otherwise. Another reviewer was disappointed by the quality of the food, mentioning undercooked rice, burned chicken curry, and a past experience of food poisoning. However, a different reviewer had a positive experience, praising the delicious crispy pork burger and Caesar salad they shared with their husband. The reviewer did note, though, that their husband's burger bread was dry and that the gratuity was added without prior notice. Despite some mixed reviews, other diners had a wonderful time at Guest Chef Night, praising the kitchen for accommodating various dietary restrictions and delivering delicious food. Overall, most reviewers appreciate the concept and mission of FareStart, enjoying the delicious food, friendly service, and supporting a good cause. The atmosphere was also noted as a positive aspect, reminiscent of a restaurant in Fort Worth.

Our most recent experience at FareStart's Guest Chef Night may well have been one of the best restaurant meals we've ever eaten.
