Flower Child - Fresh and Healthy Salad Options in St. Louis, MO

It is a very healthy fare of food. Accordingly some of the ingredients are replaced with alternatives that are lower calorie but supplement as taste substitutes. So I had their steak wrap. I think I'm used to bbq sauces and the flavor was a little off my pallet. I think for me it was because we went here for dinner and it seems more like a light lunch place by my tastes. They don't have soda; it's tea, lemonade or water. The atmosphere is great. We stayed like an hour after finishing our food. It was pleasant and the staff didn't run us off.

TL:DR - Eat here, you wont be disappointed and the staff is lovely!! I love that the food is delicious AND healthy! Staff is very accommodating to allergies/sensitivities. A lot of dishes have multiple ingredients for complex flavors you typically don't get cooking quick meals at home. For less complex, plain eaters but still appreciate deliciousness, I recommend chicken enchiladas, rebel french dip, or protein with two sides. For those that like all of the flavors in one bite, the Mediterranean chicken kabob is my favorite bowl from the ones I've had (chicken yakisoba sub noodles for jasmine rice is my mom's favorite, and chicken enchiladas are the others I've tried). Carolina BBQ chicken wrap is really good and I loved the dressing that came with the side salad. I was surprised/impressed that my leftovers were just as good and not soggy at all the next day. Sides - gluten free Mac & cheese, and chilled sesame noodles are my favorites. Fresh fruit was good smaller than expected for $6, broccoli was not cooked, I would say it wasn't even soft enough to be considered blanched but unsure if this is how it typically comes. Red chile glazed sweet potatoes are really good too. Dessert - my mom loved the chocolate pudding that is both gluten and dairy free. The staff was so wonderful, executing exemplary customer service. I didn't get her name but the woman with long blonde hair at the counter on the evenings of 9/22 - 9/24 was so helpful, acknowledged me as a repeat guest, and even asked about my mom who I was there visiting in the hospital.

Traveling in area and found this cute place Food was really good. Got the mother earth bowl and a chicken plate. Staff was friendly and helpful. Seemed bright and pleasant in dining room. Great place to get something lighter and healthier. However, the portion sizes are small for what you are paying. Not a place I would come to if really hungry. Not sure if portion sizes a bit better if you dine in like some restaurants.

This was my first visit here, and it definitely won’t be my last. We came on a Saturday evening and chose to sit outside on the patio—it was spacious and peaceful. Every employee we encountered was so friendly and pleasant to talk with, which made the experience even better. I ordered the Peruvian Braised Beef but substituted chicken, and it was absolutely delicious. The dish was full of flavor—the beans, rice, and red pickled onions were fresh and perfectly seasoned. There was also a generous amount of chicken, along with tasty homemade pickles. Everything came together beautifully.

Cute place with a nice patio. Everything on the menu sounds so good it was tough deciding what to order. Ended up getting a couple of burritos: The Rebel and Carolina BBQ which were both really good. The steak on the former was kind of hard to chew. Loved the horseradish sauce on it though. The soup of the day was a sweet potato with chickpeas. Also really good but what made it even better was mixing it with some of the bone broth that The Rebel burrito comes with. Looking forward to coming back to try other things.

Has outdoor and indoor seating ! Being a pleasant day we opted for the outdoor seating ! One can walk in, order and then decide where to sit! At the entrance is a jar of water full of lemon and citrus fruits and they ask you to quench your thirst! Great idea! We ordered a bunch of stuff ! I had the chicken with mashed potatoes and the watermelon salad as sides! The sides were super delicious but the chicken could have had more flavour! Also one can reduce the mashed potatoes portion and increase the watermelon salad! Another dish was the mediterranean chicken kebab bowl : also good A bowl with the salmon as protein was flavourful ! In veg the Mother Earth bowl with Tofu is a must have All in all a great place to lunch in

Went with 3 other friends. Loved the variety of options. I ordered two meals to which never came—asked about them about 10-15 min after everyone else’s came. Then mine came about 10-15 min after that. No complaints although I was hungry but Camryn (spelling?) came over and made it right. Apologized and refunded me for my order. Talk about customer service! I don’t live close but I’ll go again. Everything was fresh and tasty.

This was our second time dining here and absolutely love it! Will definitely be back. I eat a plant based diet and can’t find anything to eat out where I live in Franklin County. Everything was fresh and delicious. The staff was careful to note that I have a dairy allergy.
