Since moving to our present location in 1986, Fresh Starts has evolved from a gourmet food store and carry out to a full service restaurant and catering service. Nestled in historic Old Flossmoor, Illinois, Fresh Starts has a quaint, European Cafe atmosphere. Over the years we have matured and expanded slowly, always with the ultimate pleasure of the customer as our primary goal.

Our small, intimate restaurant seats up to 60 people for gourmet lunch, or an exquisite dinner. We have a full-service, off-premise catering service featuring enticing, unusual foods and skilled, professional staff. 

Fresh Starts has garnered award after award for its fabulous recipes prepared with skill and creativity. We have received rave reviews in Chicago Tribune, Star Newspaper, Daily Southtown, Chicago Magazine and Sun Times. Savor a meal at Fresh Starts and you’ll understand why we draw diners from the entire Chicagoland area. Visit our News page to read reviews.

And starting in September 2009, Fresh Starts is proud to offer Timber Creek Farms Organics, local farm-grown items that are the freshest in the area. Make sure to ask your server about details for each entree's ingredients. Or, for your home-cooked meals, place a delivery order at www.tcforganics.net.
