Proper Food

This is not the best location. Small and cramped with extremely unhelpful and unfriendly staff. I had a poke salad and asked to use their guest wifi and was told no it’s only for customers. I was clearly sitting there after just purchasing my food. Would not return

Ordered chimichurri steak, cold brew coffee, oat milk cold brew & chia seed parfait. Steak was cold vs hot like i asked & had a funny taste + protein portion seemed rather low vs their competitors at the same price point. I got 2 oat milk cold brews. I didn't even get what I asked for. Chia seed pudding didn't have a pack date or sell by date but for the record, the strawberries looked OLD. for $41 not quite what I expected. Fell super short of expectations.

Food is great and overpriced. But the white manager lady is super rude and has bad energy. Hope they promote there other staff. But I’m grateful for the food there and I recommend the health aspect just not the price or that one manager.

My daily go-to for lunch. The food is made of simple fresh ingredients, has plenty of veggies and so called superfoods, and is quite tasty. “Proper food” as promised! And the people who work there are pretty nice and easy going (& hard working). Thumbs up!

Great spot for breakfast and lunch quick and healthy. I don’t feel bad after eating here love it and eat here almost everyday plus there menu is seasonal so you might find something new that you like

MUST TRY PLACE. I had the chimichurri steak, potato and kale hot plate and it was amazing. Steak cooked to perfection, garlic potatoes were soft through and through, not typically a Kale person however it was great! everything was cooked was to perfection! If you do stop by make sure to say hello to Carmen and Alex as they’re such a pleasure to see everyday & they remember who you are which is really refreshing being in NYC. Thank you PF for becoming my Go-To lunch spot!

Ordered the salmon terriyaki for lunch. It was freezing cold. Maybe it came out of a fridge or freezer but it was inedible. Completely lacking in flavor. Couldn't eat more than one bite.

The crew here is all always friendly and the food is really fresh….quick, healthy, totally worth it especially as it’s all done with a smile!

BEST grab and go there is!! This season's seasonal salad is the BEST ever and I love everything they make. I have never had a bad meal here and I eat here A LOT! It can be a bit pricy but the ingredients are so fresh and meals are very creative. Also the staff are AMAZING! Everyone who works here is friendly. I always look forward to visiting Proper Food!!

Alexa and Malcom were so sweet I had to come back. thw food was healthy and delicious. Thanks guys :)

This is my go-to spot for breakfast and lunch during work. It is very convenient, the food is tastes great and it's always fresh. The people that work there are super friendly and welcoming.

This review is for their coffee only. I was seeing a show at the Cort Theater and needed a jolt of coffee! I stumbled into this place, located in a passageway between 47th/48th St, right next to the theatre. What a nice find! The walkway was spacious, clean, and surprisingly quiet! Proper Foods has a few tables outside and it made for a very pleasant coffee break! I didn't try any of their food items, so I can't speak about that, but the coffee is freshly made by the cup, and it was fantastic. Just what I needed. I must add that customer service was top-notched! I didn't get the young lady's name who helped me but she was so friendly and pleasant! How refreshing. She alone gets 5 stars! I would definitely return for a good cup of coffee!

I found this place using the Ritual App. If you sign up you get money off your first meal. I found this on the app and gave it a try. I got the chicken bacon sandwich. All the meals are prepped ahead and seem to be fresh. My main rating is the price. Way over priced for what you get. The taste of the sandwich didn't wow me. I felt I could buy this bread, chicken, and bacon and do it myself. This was a $8 sandwich. One side was cooked and the other was soggy. Wrapped in aluminum foil. I had a 5 dollar discount through the app and I am glad I didn't pay full price. If I decide to go again, I would get a salad next time and again would only go with a discount. Shame it didn't impress me. If they added more meat and higher quality bread, might be better.

We purchased lunch and sat in their outside seating area. We finished and threw away our empty containers and sat back down when a woman came out and said we had to leave because we weren't eating. We explained we had just finished and cleared the table. She was rude and did not care and made us leave. Never going there for lunch again.

I was in town from Texas visiting the Big Apple with some friends. We came across Proper Foods and I tell you we weren't disappointed. It was so clean and inviting, the food was freshly made and if you like a on the go healthy grab it's perfect. The staff were very friendly, I'd recommend if you're in town visiting or on a short break stop in!

This may be partially grubhub's fault, but they insisted that the order has been confirmed despite taking my payment and confirming the order. Understaffed and dirty in the store as well. Do not recommend.

More like Proper Airplane Food. If you want food that does nothing for you other than making you somewhat less hungry, this is for you. If you want good food? Go somewhere else. I've bought two hot plates from them, the teriyaki salmon and the hanger steak, both were sub par to say the least. They really taste like they've been mass produced early in the week, frozen, and heated up in the microwave. It's a joke that they charge 16 bucks for stuff like this. Even the rice was bland. How hard is it to mess up rice? Not coming back here again.

Very good airline food. Fair price. Seating in the plaza outside which is actually not too loud. Would I go here again? I won't be a regular but I'd keep it as an option.

Kind staff. Clean establishment. Very efficient service. When you eat here, you'll feel like you're eating the healthiest food ever because it's all flavorless. Like the main ingredient might be air. I had curry chicken and tomato soup. You forget what it tastes like the minute you swallow a bite.

After 9 months of working in the area I just discovered this gem tucked away between a 47th and 48th street walkway. The first time I stopped in I had the portobello sandwich and loved it. Since then I've been back and had the Sweet Potato and Egg Muffin Nest and the cheddar chive biscuit and just WOW I LOVED both. I cannot find ANY place that has fresh locally sourced delicious food anywhere in midtown at these prices. I don't normally leave reviews but after I saw that this place had some negative reviews I had to step in and say something! Sure, is this a more expensive version of quick style Pret a Manger type food? Maybe. But I think that's precisely what New York needs. Sometimes we don't have the time to wait 30 minutes it'll take to walk to a dig inn or sweet green and wait on the massive lunch line for that healthy food. Sometimes you need quick and easy without compromising on good healthy quality or taste. And to be quite honest I think the prices actually end up being cheap depending on what you choose. I spent under $9 on that portobello sandwich! Tell me the last time you spent $9 on local freshly prepared quality food in midtown Manhattan?? Sure if you get a tuna or octopus salad the prices can get steep but tuna and octopus are expensive and Proper foods prices on those salads containing tuna and octopus are more than reasonable for the area!! Another thing that completely has me hooked is that I absolutely love the ethos of the brand, they shop organic for all of EWG's dirty dozen and the food is prepared fresh daily and any leftovers are donated to food banks at the end of the day. I can eat good and feel good by supporting a place like this!! Do I love all the plastic or warming up food in a microwave? No. But sometimes when you're in a rush it's great to have a quick and easy healthy option, the good outweighs the bad many many times over. I have stood in pret a manger frustrated far too many times only to leave sorely disappointed after spending NYC prices on a lunch I hated but settling because I had no other option. Proper Food to the rescue!! I hope to see them expand and see them all over NYC in the coming years as they grow.

The best kept secret! I can't believe it took me this long to discover Proper Foods. They have the best selection of pre-prepared fresh food I have seen. It tastes 100% freshly made - so much better than their competitors in the area and so tasty. Clean, healthy, innovative, flavorful food! Foodies in a rush - go here! They kindly heat the warm dishes for you, it only takes a couple of minutes, and the homemade soups are delish. They have so many lovely lunch options - vegan, vegetarian, chicken, salmon, shrimp, salads, nice breakfast options, too (served all day). And so reasonably priced! Truly, go check it out. The staff is so nice, too : )

This is an over-priced Pret style restaurant. Salads are small, over priced and in plastic containers. I got a lemon quinoa salad with chicken for $13. Minimal amount of spinach. The spinach was not young (it was darker, larger, tougher). The feta was less than a table spoon in a small container. Seems healthy but the package is missing nutrition facts and the full ingredient lists.

Reasonably priced for a midtown lunch and more upscale than Pret. I had a $8 veggie wrap with a cup of curry soup added on for only $3. They also have a loyalty program which is nice.

Good food at a very reasonable price for mid-town Manhattan. Only takes a couple of minutes to get in and out since everything is pre-packaged (but still fresh). The staff is also very polite and friendly, which is always a nice plus.
