Due to the ongoing AWS outage, we are experiencing some technical issues with online ordering. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time.
We serve fresh, seasonal, and thoughtfully made food that’s fast, satisfying, and full of flavor, no weird ingredients, no compromises, just real meals you’ll actually crave.
Back in 2010, Kasia Bednarz was working in restaurants in Chicago when she fell in love with the magic of real food, seasonal veggies, and the kind of long, low-key dinner parties where good ingredients and good conversation stretched late into the night.
At the time, the food world felt split in two: food that was “healthy” but restrictive and uninspired, or food that was fast, convenient, and full of processed shortcuts. Kasia craved something different. So, she decided to make the kind of food she was craving: fresh, flavorful, and actually good for you.
That idea became FARE - built on the belief that fast food can be real food.
What started as a tiny counter in a downtown Chicago food hall has grown into one of the city’s fastest-growing restaurant brands, with locations across Chicago and Charlotte. But even as we grow, the heart of FARE remains the same—simple ingredients, bold flavors, and food that fits real life. Every bowl, every bite, and every menu update still reflects the idea that brought FARE to life in the first place: keep it seasonal, keep it thoughtful, and make it seriously delicious.
At FARE, the mission is simple: feed America better.
