Raw Fresno
2405 Capitol St #103, Fresno, CA 93721, United States
DO NOT EAT HERE.. the amount of times I witnessed “chef Naomi” stick all 3 of her fingers in her mouth to suck off the remains of whatever food she had just used those same fingers to scoop the food into the containers after blending the fresh ingredients was disgusting and abhorrent... then she ran her fingers under 3 seconds of cold water without any soap shook them and proceeded to make my food... I left in a hurry... at which point she continued chopping vegetables & avocado... she seemed very cold toward me I don't know if it's because I'm African American but she made sure I saw her licking her 3 fingers repeatedly. I had eaten there the day before as it is the only raw place in town but another person made my food, when I came back the next day, I was also told that 1 of the employees who was having a bad day angry at her husband said that she gave me a free wrap the 2nd time I came back the 1st day as I ate there 2x the 1st day because she suspected that because my card is worn that it is stolen although I spent $30 earlier having bought a pendant also- I was so hurt but it made sense why Naomi kept giving off a really wierd energy to me every time I came back as if she were shocked I hadn't had enough. Well I've had enough the repeated fingers in the mouth thing was the last straw as she is extremely unsanitary. She had gone to the bathroom right before fixing my food & the finger sucking returning eerily fast which also made me wonder about her hand washing- sadly, I had mentioned my desires to look into investing some small capital I had saved also & the employee also informed me that the Woman who suspected my card of being stolen said I must be lying about that as well. What is wrong with these people. Do better Raw Fresno-!!! I came here to nourish my body for well being not to feel bad- The experience for me was draining on my energy & mental clarity- ppl don't credit enough the power of energy, it can be felt from across the room- I didn't visit raw Fresno to be judged & talked badly about. Please DO NOT welcome RAW FRESNO to my hometown, I'm from BERKELEY- a very free loving city with great energy great, established raw restaurants already & sanitary practicing restauranteers- I am disgusted at my experience at Raw Fresno as I have never been treated like that where I come from- nor have I witnessed such filthy brazen practices by a so called “chef” & her staff- also when she wasn't present they all gripes about how she refuses to pay anyone including family more than $10/hr.- stay in Fresno- WowEat here if you wanna eat chef Naomi's spit it will be mixed into all of the ingredients with Love??

Bombay Pizza
7797 N First St, Fresno, CA 93720, United States
Friendly staff and pizza was bomb. That was my review when it was Bombay Pizza 3 years ago. Now it is only vegetarian/vegan. Pizza was ok. Still very friendly staff. I wish they would disclose the fact that the restaurant is under new ownership and has changed into only vegetarian/vegan options. The Bombay Pizza sign is still up and is very misleading that’s the reason why I’m giving it a 1/5.
PLANT SLAYER
2405 Capitol St STE 101, Fresno, CA 93721, United States
This was my first and last time at this establishment.My niece and I decided to try this place out since she’s vegetarian/vegan and there aren’t many vegan restaurants around.We walked in and started looking at the menu. Once we figured out what we wanted to order we asked for some assistance and clarification on a few things. Now this was our first time here. So we were a little confused about the ordering process.The first thing that we had asked about was how to add tomatoes to the sandwich using the app because there were no cashiers. So the owner looked over the app and was also confused because she said typically there should be an area where you can add notes which there is once you’re ready to check out and pay. The second thing was that I wasn’t able to find where the salads were located so I voiced that I was unable to find the salads and didn’t think it was on the app. The owner came over and found it for me. I was genuinely confused and couldn’t see it on the app menu. But I could tell she was bothered or irritated with me for some reason. But I decided to brush it off.Please keep in mind that when we entered this restaurant the employees and the owner weren’t very attentive. The owner was on the phone conducting an interview with a potential future employee. It felt like every question I had was taken as an inconvenience. So it made for a very uncomfortable environment. Also my niece and I were the only customers in the restaurant at the time.Once the food came out I noticed that there wasn’t a fork in the bag for the salad I ordered. So I get up to look for a fork and couldn’t find one. The owner was still on the phone so I didn’t want to bother her any further. I tried to get one of her employees attention who was in the back doing something. I said “excuse me” several times but I could tell the employee couldn’t hear me so then I said “Hello” loudly a few times which finally got their attention. I simply asked for a fork because I didn’t get one and I also asked for another side of dressing because I wanted more dressing for the salad.The owner decides to place her interviewee on hold to ask me if I received 2 sides of dressing and I said yes. She then tells me that is the usual amount of dressing they give out which is fine but I just wanted more.Mind you I didn’t like the way she was speaking to me. She had a mean/rude tone every time she interacted with me.At this point I felt the need to explain to her that it’s a lot of salad for such little sauce. I didn’t attack her or call her names. It was a simple straightforward statement.The owners verbiage had become loud and aggressive towards me. She basically tells me that she doesn’t like MY TONE and that I’ve been this way from the very moment I walked in. She basically insinuates that I was being rude the entire time.I told her I don’t think I’ve had a tone at all and that I haven’t been rude. I asked her how I was being rude and apparently according to the owner all of my curious confused questions regarding the app and the fact that I asked for extra dressing was done with a tone. I was baffled.Obviously after all of that I was upset. It really affected my mental state to a point where it’s still on my mind at 1:30am. This lady lacks so much self awareness. She doesn’t realize that she’s giving off the very energy she’s complaining about.The last thing she says to me before I leave is “the good thing about being the owner is that I don’t have to deal with customers like this/you”. Her intent was to hurt my feelings. She knew exactly what she was doing.Unfortunately there were no other witnesses apart from the employees and the owner.This review is for future potential customers. I am NOT interested in hearing from the owner. Please refrain from replying to this review because it is not intended for you. You’ve done/caused enough damage.
BODY Meals
1020 E Perrin Ave Ste 108, Fresno, CA 93720, United States
Honestly, Ive always been skeptical of meal plans and prepared foods simply because I always assume that I can cook better at home. However, the foods here are so good that both me and my moms homecooking just cant stack up.I had the grilled steak with chimichurri sauce, string beans and baked tomatoes. The steak was perfectly seasoned and had no gristle on it whatsoever, which is huge for me. The string beans and tomatoes were the perfect mix of crunchy and soft, and made me realize that I have a lot to learn about cooking green beans. The chimichurri sauce was so flavorful that I immediately wanted to steal the recipe, and it complimented everything else perfectly.Besides the taste being so good, its really convenient to be able to eat fresh, healthy food and not have to worry about portion sizes, cooking or clean up. Definitely far tastier, more convenient and healthier than even the most expensive so-called healthy option at any store.
Ikes Love & Sandwiches
786 W Palmdon Dr, Fresno, CA 93704, United States
IKES Sandwiches was really cool. The fun color scheme was super inviting as we glanced over the impressive menu. The sandwich names and ingredients really make this place unique, it is a tasteful mix of quality ingredients sure to impress mature tastebuds and down-to-earth signage and employees who made me feel really comfortable and confident about what I was ordering. To no surprise, the place was relatively busy for lunch, but we didnt mind waiting a few minutes for our food. The Dutch crunch bread was outstanding, as were the toppings. I normally dont eat any sauce on my sandwiches and was a little freaked out when I saw some upon inspection. I decided to be brave and I was not disappointed. It too, was outstanding. Although it was our first time at Ikes, there was something uniquely nostalgic about the joint that almost brought me back. It could have been the smell of the freshly baked bread.. either way, this place is definitely worth a try next time you are in Fresno and looking for a spot to grab a quick lunch. Dont forget the Zapps potato chips (a sign the sandwich will be good)!
Pieology Pizzeria Campus Pointe, Fresno, CA
3123 E Campus Pointe Dr, Fresno, CA 93710, United States
Pieology Pizzeria is a great restaurant that offers delicious, freshly made pizzas with a wide range of toppings to choose from. I visited this restaurant recently and was thoroughly impressed by the quality of their food and their friendly staff.One of the things that really stood out to me about Pieology Pizzeria was their commitment to using fresh ingredients in their pizzas. Each pizza was made to order, which ensured that it was always hot and fresh when it arrived at my table. Additionally, the toppings were of the highest quality, and there were plenty of options to choose from.Another thing that I appreciated about Pieology Pizzeria was their accommodating staff. The employees were all very friendly and helpful, and they made sure that my dining experience was as enjoyable as possible. They were always available to answer any questions that I had and were happy to make recommendations based on my preferences.Finally, I appreciated that Pieology Pizzeria was open late, which made it a great option for a late-night meal. The atmosphere was comfortable and inviting, and it was the perfect place to relax and enjoy a delicious pizza after a long day.Overall, I highly recommend Pieology Pizzeria to anyone looking for a tasty, freshly made pizza with friendly service. This restaurant is definitely worth a visit, and I look forward to returning again soon!
Ikes Love & Sandwiches
3071 E Campus Pointe Dr, Fresno, CA 93710, United States
Love the sandwiches and vibe of Ike's. However this location definitely needs to do better with staffing and scheduling. 2 people on a Friday evening at a decently sized shopping/eatery center is unacceptable. The lady and man working last night were doing their best but we could tell they were overwhelmed. Rightfully so. I sure as hell wouldn't be breaking my back for a minimum wage job. Whoever runs this place needs to be more hands on. If you're short staffed it's your responsibility as a business owner to help your staff. Do better. Shame on the business owner for subjecting their employees to disgruntled customers like this then more likely reprimanding the employee and not the boss themselves. To the lady and guy working the night of 12/2, you guys did great considering!!
Yard House
90 El Camino, Fresno, CA 93720, United States
Yard House holds a special place in my heart as one of my all-time favorite destinations for appetizers. Their chicken nachos, particularly when prepared blackened, offer a burst of delightful flavors that I thoroughly enjoy. The restaurants extensive selection of vegetarian options also makes it an ideal choice when dining with family members who follow a vegetarian diet, as they have a plethora of delectable choices to pick from.Furthermore, Yard Houses drink offerings are equally impressive, and I find myself particularly drawn to their smoked old fashioned, which boasts a superb taste. However, it is with a tinge of disappointment that I must mention that their main dishes seem to have experienced a decline in quality as of late. Consequently, I tend to gravitate towards ordering more items from their appetizer menu, as the main entrees do not quite meet the same level of excellence.
Pieology Pizzeria Fig Garden, Fresno, CA
5068 N Palm Ave, Fresno, CA 93704, United States
TLDR: If ordering for takeout, double-check your order. First and last visit from me.I placed an order online for a couple of vegetarian pizzas and an order of cheese bread, and was able to walk in and out pretty quickly without issue. However, a flustered young woman ran after me into the parking lot, letting me know that she had mixed up the orders and that one of my pizzas was wrong. Mistakes happen, so by itself this was at worst a super minor inconvenience - I only had to wait an extra 2-3 minutes.After my corrected order was given to me, I proceeded to make the mistake of not checking it myself before driving home; instead of a custom vegetarian order, I was given something covered in pepperoni and sausage. Again, not a big deal by itself - mistakes happen - and I do have dogs that love meat and pizza, so it wasnt a total write-off.The pizza and cheese bread my wife and I managed to eat, unfortunately, were just not very good, especially considering the price. We ordered a deep dish pizza with a variety of veggies and plant-based sausage; we received a pizza that had mostly unmelted cheese, very few toppings (I counted maybe 4 mangled pieces of sausage total), and a very burnt bottom. The cheese bread was fully melted, but was also burnt on the bottom. Both were bland and disappointing.On the plus side, the dogs enjoyed their pizza, which was the only one of three items to not be burnt.
