Ultimate Foods

I’m giving this place 5 stars because it’s a great spot! Grab-​n-​go concept for a healthy lifestyle! Good customer service, excellent web site & nicely laid out inside. Still brand new, so they’re getting their look together, but all in all — this place has great potential. I dropped in after they first opened because I’d read so many rave reviews about the other locations (east Memphis & Cordova). I picked up a few items to give it a go. I got the bbq chicken, Ted’s tuna salad & Slammin salmon. I didn’t care for the tuna salad, but the others were good enough for me to order a week’s worth of food on the second go round. No cooking or cleaning — yay! 5 lunches, 5 dinners, 10 snacks for $ 163 & some change with tax. Comes in nice takeout containers that didn’t take up too much room in the fridge.
Although I gave this place 5 stars, I am about 50:50 so far on the food choices I made. Sticking with the 5 stars because I think that folks who normally eat healthy will like the food better than I have so far. I’m not exactly what you’d call health conscious. Plus I really like the concept, just not sure if I’m their market base.
Jerk Chicken — BEAUTIFUL, but was disappointed in the flavor. The chicken was rather bland, spicy, but not a lot of flavor if that makes sense. Served on a bed of rice with diced peppers, a bit of pineapple & mandarin oranges. $ 8.00
Hummus Snack — DELICIOUS! Served with delicious savory bites of chicken, celery & carrots. $ 5.00
Ultimate Brownie — eh… if I didn’t consume sugar on a regular basis, I might be more inclined to give it a good review. Made with black beans & avocado, it had a much drier texture than I imagined. Maybe with some ice cream… :) Probably won’t order it again.
Almond butter Cup — a lovely play on a Reese’s cup. Almond butter and dark chocolate. I would definitely order again.
Buffalo Chicken Wrap — NICE! Half a wrap of tender, flavorful chicken. Didn’t get a lot of the «buffalo» taste I was expecting, but it was good. Served with grapes & crunchy apple slices. $ 6
Beefed up Dinner — DISAPPOINTING! Food looked gorgeous & couldn’t wait to dig in. The meat was so juicy & delicious looking, but was very tough. I thought maybe it would be a little better with some steak sauce or something, but nothing made it better. The fresh green beans & cauliflower were good though. I think it was $ 9
Slammin Salmon — GREAT! Delicious flavor, good texture. $ 11
Sriracha Chicken Chili — MY FAVORITE! Although it was an odd pink color, it was fabulous! Tender shredded chicken with white beans & corn, the sriracha base was so very tasty. I could have eaten another serving without batting an eye, but would have been stuffed! $ 8

I love the convenience and the selection Ultimate Foods has to offer. They make it so easy to eat healthy. I’m really glad they added this location. I had been stopping at the one on Poplar Ave after work but this one is much more convenient for us.
So far everything I’ve tried I’ve enjoyed. The salads are awesome and for a guy my size they are even filling for me. All of the entrees have been great as well. I haven’t tried the breakfast items but I plan on trying a few very soon.
If you’re looking for healthy alternatives give this place a try!
