Nature’s Table

Decent food but among the worst service I’ve seen. Walked in multiple times with no employees present, tried to get someone’s attention, and left without seeing anybody. When there are people actually working they seem to be operating on their own timelines. I don’t expect instant service but at least make an attempt to appear that you care.

Stopped in Nature’s Table Hyde Park location around noon to order lunch to-​go. I ordered the Mediterranean salad with chicken, feta, tomatoes, pepperoncinis, black olives, red onion and romaine lettuce. The chicken was really good on the salad, but I would have preferred Greek olives instead of black olives. Overall, this wasn’t my favorite salad so I’d probably try something other than the salads on my next visit.
Customer service wasn’t very friendly. The girl that rang up my order and made my salad acted like I was bothering her. As she made my salad she wrinkled her nose and declared that the feta cheese stunk. I wasn’t sure if the cheese was spoiled or if she was just didn’t like the smell of feta, but her response made me consider cancelling my order. (Luckily, the cheese was not spoiled.)
The parking garage adjacent to Nature’s Table makes grab and go orders slightly more convenient.

The salads, sandwiches, wraps, and bowls are tasty. It is a cute place in a good location. The reason I’m giving it 3 stars instead of 4 stars is because of customer service… if you arrive about an hour before closing, there will be no one at the counter. The worker on duty will be literally hiding in the back room. You then have to stand there for about 10 minutes and/​or call out before he/​she will reluctantly come out and then complain that now they can’t close early because there is a customer. This has happened with multiple different workers. Pretty rude.

Natures table is located in South Tampa in the beautiful Hyde Park Village. I had their Greek salad which comes with onions tomatoes romaine lettuce arugula feta cheese grilled chicken peppercinis. Natures table is located at the edge of Hyde Park Village in a cute little store with nice outside seating in the patio and is a nice way to spend a sunny weekend day for lunch or during the week. They have a lot of healthy salads rice bowls paninis sandwiches smoothies soups and freshly made muffins and cookies. I tried their kale smoothie with immune booster and extra protein shots and it was very delicious and healthy. Service was quick and friendly. There was only two people in front of me in line when I walked in and I walked out with food within 10 minutes so it was pretty quick. There’s plenty of parking available and one of the three parking garages in Hyde Park Village. There is no immediate parking right next to this place however. Décor is pretty basic and minimalistic. Natures table is located in a fairly small shop with indoor and outdoor seating but when I was there wasn’t too busy but I could see it being an issue if it were really busy they can easily run out of tables to eat. I also like their fandangled salad and their Thai salad and look forward to trying many other smoothie flavors here.

I tried to eat here during the hyde park sunday market. The customer service was okay. The food however gave me the willies. The place is very dirty. When I brought this to the attention of the staff they apologized but seemed angry at the same time. I returned my food after biting into gritty lettuce and had an ant crawling on my hand. Attention to food safety practice is the law and also a way to keep your business going. I would not recommend anyone eat here until a professional cleaning crew has a good go at it.

I love a live interpretation of Dantes inferno, and this place does a phenomenal interpretation of 5^th ring! They really make you feel like you are being punished right along with the slothful! Waiting 30 minutes in line with only 5 people in front of me is spot on punishment! That being said, I can only endure so much.

Great location in Hyde Park and the food is always amazing. I’ve been eating at Natures Table since high school (26 years) and I’ve never had a bad meal. Plus pumpkin yogurt is back!!!

This is such a cute little place to eat in hyde park village. I was sad that I got there after breakfast time though as their breakfast menu looked delicious. I was able to find a nice salad to eat for lunch. I had salad with strawberries, chicken and goat cheese and a strawberry vinaigrette. It was delicious! The employee working behind the counter was very friendly asking how I was and holding a conversation while he made my food. He also made sure I was okay with the ingredients such as the goat cheese and said he could switch it up if I wanted. The prices were reasonable. I also used the restroom and they were clean and presentable although there was only one for women and one for men. I would definitely go back and try one of the rice bowls or breakfast foods or even a smoothie. If you are looking for healthy, inexpensive and friendly service this is the place to go.

I wish they had one of these close to where I live… on a recent business trip I needed something fast, healthy, tasty for lunch. They had a variety of great options on the menu, the food was prepared right in front of me, ready in a few minutes. I also tried one of the kale-​spinach smoothies with yogurt — it was the best part of lunch! Did I mention I wish there were one closer to where I live?

Top notch healthy California style mexican and Thai casual fast food has rice bowls, wraps, paninis, salads, soups. I highly recommend the Greek salad, Thai red curry rice bowl, carnitas rice bowl, fish tacos, chicken quesadilla, southwest bean soup, Italian wedding soup, meat chilli, and California club Panini. There is no alcohol or table service. You must place your order at the register, watch them make it for you, and wait at the counter until it is ready. The rice bowls offer large portions. Plenty of street parking available and a nearby garage. Prices range from $ 5-​$ 8 with the wraps being the least expensive at $ 5-​$ 6 and the salads and rice bowls going for $ 8 each. Some of my favorite hot lunches are tacos, Shepard’s pie, cuban sandwiches, and orange chicken. Service is non existent but the people seem about as friendly as a local subway. Everything is fresh tasty and healthy. This is a great and welcome addition to Hyde park and in maybe ways cheaper and better than the rice bowls offered at Ciccio and Tony’s and green lemon. Will be coming back again.

Absolutely terrible customer service. It was our first time in and we wont be back. I ordered the 1977 special which is described as ½ sandwich and ½ soup or ½ salad plus a drink and dessert. I ordered a sandwich and she said what else? I went to order a salad and all she said was «No». Very rudely. And then proceeded to list the three types of soup… I ordered one. She then dished up my soup and just walked away. I never got my dessert and it took a very long time to receive my sandwich. Food was mediocre. Like I said, won’t be back.

The food is ok but really pricey for what it is. I usually always get the same food, either Baja Turkey Jack or the Chipotle salad, and other couple items I rotate. I only go there because it’s somewhat fast-​growing and very close to my job.
Something that bothers me the most is the customer service is the worst. The young kid is great, but that older lady in her 40s is awful and finds a way to mess up my order every single time, she’s not pleasant at all, and is almost rude.
I really wish I could go somewhere else to eat, but unfortunately I never have time to go other places! Every time I pay, I am already upset with the lady who is just so rude, I really hope some manager sees this and fires her because she’s the rudest person of all.
Other than that the place is relatively clean, but prices and the service are just bad for what it is. At least the price would be acceptable if the old lady was a pleasant as the younger guy.

Had a late lunch here today! The club Panini hit the spot. I was especially pleased that the bread was dry and crunchy.

Great smoothies and delicious, healthy food options! I used to live a block from this place and was thankful for living so close to a health-​conscious store. I do, however, wish they were healthier (mostly organic options/​ingredients)… My only dislike is in regards to the staff. There is always a woman there — presumably the owner — who is incredibly unfriendly. She always looks and seems absolutely miserable and has no «people skills» whatsoever and therefore (I feel) should not be in a position or field where she comes in contact with customers.

BEST SMOOTHIE EVER!!!
Great location in Hyde Park and great food! The prices are fair and the service is friendly.
Good music on the radio and great windows for viewing the monthly farmers market shoppers!
I highly recommend this place!

I enjoy this place for lunch. Good dishes, simple, and the smoothies are pretty tasty. The environment is casual. The location is perfect, near one of the parking garages so it makes it easy for a quick eat and go lunch. Service is a little slow but they are very friendly there.

First timer at Nature’s Table — I ducked in for a smoothie fix since I missed lunch. The guy behind the counter was the BEST — to make my life easy, he asked what my favorite fruits were and he would simply customize a drink for me. I ended up with a Strawberry, Blueberry and Banana smoothie with protein and energy boosters. If it were just left to me, my order may have opted out on the banana, but he told me it helps to round out the flavor and would make me feel more full since I was hungry and trying to hold off until dinner. He was right.
What surprised me was the pride he took in making the drink both taste as appealing as possible (he described how he layered in vanilla yogurt and vanilla protein powder), and how he wanted to be sure I was happy with the ultimate product (asked me to taste before I paid).
I can be pretty grumpy when I’m hungry, and this experience turned me from the evil queen to the fair princess in one sip.

I was excited to eat here because of the name of the restaurant and figured they’d have some healthy vegetarian options. They did actually offer quite a few veg items so I decided to give it a shot. The service was very slow. There were only two people ahead of me and it took me almost 10 minutes just get my order. I decided to get the vegetarian rice bowl and was really disappointed. I figured topping the bowl with their vegetarian chili would add plenty of flavor. Unfortunately it was all just very blah and bland. Luckily I got a bag of chips on the side to help fill me up since I only ended up eating a few bites of my $ 8 meal. While there were other veg options on their menu, my thought is that I will likely be avoiding another visit. I gave them two stars since they do have a decent amount of veg options, which I like, and while
slow – the staff was very nice.

«A-​OK». Great place for a quick stop if you are hungry for light wraps, sandwiches, rice bowls, salads or smoothies. The quality of food are decent but nothing to accompany a fanfare. I had the Thai Rice Bowl with grilled chicken (shredded lettuce, white rice, sprinkling of shredded carrot, grilled chicken, and a slight spicy sauce). The rice was a bit too mushy for a typical rice bowl, but the overall tate and penetration was decent. I also had the Mango Mama smoothie which I will skip the next time. They do have a wide variety of items in the each category mentioned above.
Despite they being busy they kept the assembly line going efficiently (many items are made to order). They are courteous and seem to take pride in their offerings.
If I’m in the area and need to quickly stop and grab a light lunch, I’ll certainly stop here again.

Nature’s Table has been around for many years. They recently revamped a few things, and I’m glad they’re here to stay despite many people closing doors around them. I’ve always been a huge fan of their smoothies and shakes. The difference is subtle. The smoothies are made with liquid yogurt and the shakes are made with frozen yogurt resulting in a much creamier blend. Both are delicious and filling.
For meals, their sandwiches are good but I love their southwestern salad topped with vegetarian chili.
Try them out so they’ll stick around even longer!
