Naked Farmer

Our first time ordering from this restaurant we enjoyed our food and everything we ordered was delicious can't wait to place our next order.

The Naked Farmer was founded by Jordan Johnson during the pandemic in 2020 because he wanted to "build a better food system for all" by connecting farms to a restaurant serving the food to people. According to their website Naked Farmer is a "farm-to-fork new American restaurant serving seasonal, locally-sourced food from farms close to home. Food is sourced from farmers and partners we know on a first-name basis, brought in from the fields, and cooked by chefs who know their vegetables." There are currently three restaurants open. The first two are in Tampa where the company is based and in St. Petersburg. The third opened in October in South Florida in Coral Gables. This location in Sunrise is their newest with plans to open on Las Olas in Ft. Lauderdale later this year.

The restaurant concept is to build-your-own bowl which allows you to customize your meal. You pick a protein, one base, two sides and your choice of (un)dressing. Around 70 percent of the ingredients are sourced from local farms. There was a board on the wall that listed the farm names and they included Cactus Hat in Lutz, Dakin Dairy in Myakka City, C& B Farm in Clewiston, Quincy Cattle Company in Chiefland, Natalie's Orchid in Fort Pierce, Gratitude Garden in Loxahatchee, and many more from Miami to Ocala. The Naked Farmer supports local agriculture while making healthy and tasty food available to everyone. The menu is designed around the harvest season and it changes every two months.

For my dinner I chose the rice base with grilled to order steak. Other proteins include chicken and salmon. It is very easy to eat vegetarian here. My two sides were broccoli and the seasonal strawberry fennel salad. They have water available but I also got one of their hibiscus lemonades. You can eat inside, on the patio, or take it to go. Every thing I tasted was super tasty and fresh. I was a little disappointed that they were out of the macaroni and cheese but I enjoyed the seasonal strawberry and fennel salad I got instead. Fennel is not something I would normally eat but I actually liked it in this salad. The strawberries were so sweet and they were like a dessert for me. Anyone who cares about what they are fueling their body with and where it comes from and who wants to eat better without sacrificing taste will love the Naked Farmer.

I've been working in Sawgrass corporate for 3 years now and my only gripe is that this place didn't open sooner! It's probably obvious but I've eaten about all there is to eat in the area but this place easily takes the cake. Everything is extremely fresh and made on premises, even the cookies. The flavor is rich in every option and I find myself trying everything. Price is only a little above average but in this aspect you truly get what you pay for and more. Definitely my new spot.

Delicious, elevated food that's sourced with integrity and made my chefs.
