FARE is a Chicago-based restaurant company focused on serving menus that emphasize real, from-scratch food. Its approach centers on preparing sauces, sides, and proteins in-house daily, using whole vegetables and avoiding seed oils and refined sugars, with a menu that changes seasonally to reflect available ingredients. The business positions itself as a kitchen away from home, aiming to provide nutrient-dense options that are simple to access and prepared in a straightforward, transparent manner.

Founded in 2018 by a female-led team, FARE operates multiple Chicago locations and plans expansion into Charlotte in 2026. The company has grown enough to be recognized on the Inc. 5000 list for two consecutive years, signaling notable growth within the restaurant industry. Its stated focus is deliberate scaling and profitability as it builds toward a national brand grounded in real food.
