Originally, loved this place and was super psyched about it. Months later, I wonder... did they close? Are they ever open? They are never open when I go, even during posted hours.

Stopped on Friday evening to try this out. Welcomed in and told to look around in the coolers for the food available. I picked 2 family style meals. Blackened shrimp and peppered salsa, with black bean rice and poblano peppers (15.95). Also tried the family style pale ale chicken with cheddar potatoes an sautéed broccoli (15.95). The shrimp was tasty ( about 15 pieces of medium shrimp), with lots of rice. The Chicken was bland, with only 2 pieces of small leg quarters. That can not feed a family. Was nice to try it. It is over priced. I do need feel I will return.

Delicious, fresh, healthy meals for when you’re too tired to cook but still want to know you’re eating healthy! Everything we’ve eaten from here has been so flavorful, even more flavorful than fast food like Chipotle. The meals are basically like Blue Apron but you don’t have to cook them yourself.

This place is so good! It's the perfect spot if you need a healthy, flavorful, home cooked meal but don't have the energy to cook. It reminds me a lot of Blue Apron in terms of the ingredients and type of food, but it's all cooked for you and all you have to do is pop it in the oven. I've found the portions to be perfect and the price to be good, too. TBH, it's the same price (maybe less) as buying a fast food meal but it's better for you. Another interesting thing is that the food is actually all very healthy-- I think that the person who makes the food owns the health meal delivery company next door (Strong Kitchen) and he will make meals that you might get at a restaurant but healthier (less butter, calories, etc.). He is really talented so even though the food is "healthy" the spices make it taste like something you would buy at a restaurant. I definitely recommend this place as a healthy alternative to fast food!

I wish I could cook this good. I live alone and have a job with crazy hours. This is perfect to pick up a couple of meals for days when I just don't feel like cooking. I love the business model of grab and go meals. I really hope this and Strong Kitchen (same owner) catch on. It's perfect for young professionals that don't want to cook but want a home cooked meal.

I already enjoy the meals I get from the Strong Kitchen so had to check the new place out. Three meals in and everything they make is so flavorful and filling. The coffee rubbed brisket is my favorite so far and the only thing that disappoints me is that I didn’t buy more of it!

Read the article about the opening and was quite excited to find a place near home where I could find "meals to go". We had the pork with sweet potatoes and cauliflower - VERY disappointing! The pork was dried out, cauliflower was burned. The potatoes were OK. Needless to say, we won't be returning.

There's a great selection of quality food, lots of exciting things to try each week, and the food is always really good. Also Fare staff are so nice and always make me feel welcome. Love Fare Market!

Excellent! This is a perfect place to pick up a healthy and delicious dinner to bring home. Flavors were great. Quesadilla was delicious. Family of 4 shared chimichurri roasted chicken, balsamic ribs, and caramelized beef and eggplant w potato cauliflower mash and kale. Will be a regular!

Omg, Hamden- why is this place not packed!? Fare is a home cooked meal you don't have to prepare yourself. We picked up a family meal and a couple extra pieces of chicken for our family of four on a night we just didn't feel like cooking, put them in the oven, and dinner was ready in minutes. The food was super tasty, and healthier and less expensive than fast food or pizza. We're making Friday nights "Fare Friday" at our house. Thanks for a great dinner!
The food at Fare Market is delicious! I tried the Apple Thyme roasted chicken this week-so moist and flavorful! Fare has a wide variety of meal options whether it be for one person or a family. The staff is extremely helpful and the decor is adorable! I'll definitely be going back. :)

This is a family owned business.The owner owns two more properties on this strip. Strong Kitchen ( website available) & Little Rabbit baking company. You go into the bakery and the strong kitchen walk-thru is there . Luke is the owner and his Mom runs this quaint little to-go spot. There is a few bakery items and fridges with to-go homemade meals ranging from 9 bucks to 15 (pricey so I didn't give it more stars ) . He is a culinary chef and makes homemade meals daily. Today I decided on beef short ribs with horseradish mashed potatoes and crispy broccoli. (11.50). I didn't try this meal til the day after yet it held up in flavor and juiciness (meat tender and flavorful) I thought the mashed would taste dried out but the horseradish kept it's texture . The meals come in a aluminum type container ,so easy to pop right in your oven later. Each container has oven instructions on them . I saw lasagna,chicken meals and Shepard's pie with bechamel sauce and more. I tried some corn bread pieces when I walked in. What a great flavor it had . They have cobblers and other choices for dessert. There is more space to use and quite a small selection not really sure if they do more online business. Can't wait to see if more items become available.
