Fresh Bite Restaurant

If you're looking for a good sandwich, they have a couple good ones. They weren't blow my mind amazing, but they were nice to try.

My visit to Fresh Bite was my first time trying Cuban food, but it definitely wasn't my last! We ordered the Sandwich Cubano, Ham Croquettes, and the Sampler. Everything was delicious! The plantains were the main standout. For a weekend, we found the restaurant strangely empty, but the service was fast. I'll definitely be back to try more!

First time ever having Cuban food. Chose a good spot to try it. Food was excellent, service was excellent and the restaurant was clean and friendly. Will definitely be back again!!

Growing up around authentic Cuban food makes me sad that fresh bite could not compete. Really wish I could like this place. We got Ropa vieja with arroz morro and not impressed at all. The rice was real bland and there was nothing special about the Ropa vieja. Will not be going back.

Fresh BiteWhat a joy to write a review about a restaurant my wife and I enjoyed immensely during a recent lunch.We started with Garbanzo Soup which was a hit with both my wife and me. Hot, combo of tender beans with just a hint of "tooth," flavored with bits of tomato, green pepper, and loads of spices, the soup was comforting and satisfying: not quite thick enough to call it stew and thin enough to call it soup. This was a 5-star hit with both of us.Next up was the Sampler 305 with a variety of savory items along with slightly sweet fried plantain. Chicken Empanada - crisp and flaky fried shell pastry...but with a paucity of chicken filling. The bit of chicken inside was tasty but overwhelmed by the amount of wrapping (dough). Both were good, but lacked balance. Ham Croquette - crisply deep fried bite of delight. (My wife is not a big fan of ham...BUT...oh my! how she loved these delightful bites - similar in size to a fat breakfast sausage link or mozzarella stick.) Could have eaten more... Cuban Tamal - Having lived in South America for several years (and traveling extensively) I have enjoyed tamales from across Latin America and the Caribbean. Today's tamal was at the absolute top of the chart for flavor, texture, and simple enjoyment. It was visually similar to most others I've sampled - a corn masa "log' (apparently) steamed in corn husk. More often than not I've found these fairly dry and bland. BUT, today's differed significantly in moisture and taste. It had the common masa body, but was a bit less dense with a moist, creamy, savory interior. Bits of pork and onion graced the top - along with a splash of citrusy criollo sauce. Mojo Criollo Sauce (condiment for dipping): citrusy, garlicky marinade that has a tangy flavor with just a hint of sourness. OK The Papa Rellena on the sampler platter fell short of our expectations. To wit: a deep fried ball of unseasoned (at least I couldn't taste herbs or spices) mashed potatoes surrounding a core of rather flavorless ground meat. Crunchy and creamy combo but not much more.My Cuban Ropa Vieja sandwich was flavorful: stewed beef with peppers and stringy cheese (check my photo). Unfortunately, the bun was over pressed (OR dry) and did not have the flaky/crispy toasted exterior I expected. I would still order this again but ask for a slightly shorter press so as to not dry out the bread.Wrapping things up: Flan with delightful, traditional caramel sauce (but body a bit "firm" and not creamy. And a hot, rich Expresso. Fortunately the sugar was served on the side - this flavor bomb didn't need it...robust and rich. ¡Perfecto!

We had Cuban sandwich, chicken sandwich, beef empenadas, potato ball, plantains, guava pastry, and French fries. Everything was fresh and absolutely delicious. It's difficult to find good restaurants these days. This is a winner. So good. Great service. The ambiance was uplifting but not loud. We will be back. I highly recommend Fresh Bite!

Service was not there. The lady serving us got snappy with my Honduran boyfriend because he thought she said they had agua de Jamaica & after he asked for one instead of saying that they didn't have any she continued to lecture us on how "this is not a Mexican restaurant" which we knew upon selecting this place. I then asked if the Mate drink (on their menu) was hot or cold and she kept correcting me saying "Malta" so after going back and fourth for a while I pointed to the menu and said "Malta & Mate are different" she seemed to be argumentative from the beginning which unfortunately made our experience not so good. The papa fritas were delicious but the bistec sandwich was tough to bite into and dry. The entire piece of meat would come out each time I tried to take a bite so I ended up leaving hungry.

Excellent salmon skillet dish, also enjoyed the apps- tamales and chicken empanadas. My family ate the Cuban sandwich and the chicken sandwich. Everything was fresh, hot and tasty

We've had our fair share of cuban food from living in Ft. Lauderdale for years. I'm most disappointed with the cuban sandwich here, the meat was very dry and tasted old. The meat that they out on top of tamales was also very very dry and old tasting. 3 stars for the tostones (pictured), ham croquettes and potato ball. I don't think we'll be back but it was worth a try/visit for sure.

what a delicious way to enjoy a wonderful meal together after volunteering in the community! Our Molly Maid of SE Davidson and Rutherford County Team loved every bite of this hidden gem Cuban restaurant!!!
