    Beni's Cubano is a mall food stall inside Hamilton Place. We weren't originally planning to eat here, but we were trying to find something a little different in Chattanooga and Beni's seemed like it would hit the spot. We just got a single sandwich to try the food out. All the ingredients are pre-prepped so it was a simple matter of assembly and heating before it was ready for consumption. Cuban ($9) - They first start by spreading mayo on the top piece of bread and mustard on the bottom piece. The bread is around 6 inches in length, so it's a bit on the small side. They add crunchy pickles, then a layer of ham on the bottom, then a good amount of pulled pork and cheese. The pork is appropriately seasoned, but has some fattier bits. The entire sandwich is then flattened and heated on a plancha until the bread is crunchy on the outer layers, while the interior stays fluffy and chewy. The sandwich is served super hot, with the swiss cheese melted all over and the grease soaking into the parchment paper and the paper bag. Be careful not to burn your mouth! Unfortunately the grease starts soaking into the bread as well, resulting in kind of a mushy mess half way into eating. I'm not sure if this Cubano is authentic or not as I've never been to Miami or Tampa, but I thought the ingredients worked well together to make a very tasty sandwich. I can't say that I normally expect good food in a mall food court, but there are surprises sometimes and Beni's is one of them.

    Really good for mall food! Everything was hot, delicious and looked tasty! This felt like a restaurant level but fast and convenient.

    I saw this spot on the food court in Hamilton Place Mall. I saw they had empanadas and I had to try them! You can choose between beef and chicken. I had 2 beef with beni's sauce on the side. They were delicious. The service was great and it gave a family restaurant vibe. I will be back!

    My Cuban sandwich had a piece of silver curved wire in it.  So disappointed. And can't get anyone to answer the phone. Waste of $40.

    The food was just ok until i took a 3rd bite of my Cuban sandwich. I felt something hard and curled in my mouth.

    Great cuban food in Chattanooga. Yes, it's in the mall. No, don't let that discourage you. Food is so good.

    I don't know if maybe the owners are Cuban, but it doesn't have Cuban flavor... the ropa vieja is terrible and spicy.

    I've never had CAVA before until this place opened here, and I wish this was here earlier. Where…read morehas this been all my life? I always opt to make my own bowl. I switch between different proteins because there's so many different options. I've picked the Harissa Chicken, Grilled Chicken, and Falafel. I like doing the half and half and each of those proteins were delicious. They were juicy and not dry. The veggies tasted fresh, the sauces and proteins were flavorful and so tasty. Also I love how we can choose up to three different dips. I pretty much go for most of the toppings except avocado. And also the dressings!! I mix it up every time and the combinations have worked pretty well together, in harmony with everything in my bowl. It's hard to pick a favorite veggie for me because each one is so good, but I'll always get the pickled onions and fire roasted corn. For me, I have no complaints whatsoever. I always describe this place as a Chipotle but Mediterranean. I always get takeout so I can't comment on the ambiance inside. But ordering online is fairly simple and straight forward. This is one of my favorite places in the area to go and get food. Oh and also the juices are great too. I always get the Cucumber Mint Lime because it hits every single time, but I'd like to try their other juices too. I can't wait until the next time I come back here. Love you CAVA!

    This was my first time visiting the brand-new CAVA here on Gunbarrel Rd, and my family and I…read moredecided to check it out for lunch. We were excited to try something fresh and healthy, and CAVA's Mediterranean flavors did not disappoint! I ordered the Harissa Avocado Bowl, and it was absolutely delicious. The vibrant mix of flavors and colors made the bowl feel like a full experience - spicy harissa honey chicken paired with the bold hot harissa vinaigrette gave it just the right amount of kick. The Crazy Feta and hummus added a creamy balance, while the avocado, fire-roasted corn, pickled onions, Persian cucumber, and feta brought freshness and texture. All of it came together beautifully over basmati rice and SuperGreens. Every bite felt fresh, flavorful, and filling. For my drink, I went with a large cup of fresh lemonade, which was the perfect refreshing balance to the spice in my bowl. The service was quick and friendly, with the staff taking the time to walk us through the menu since it was our first visit. The ambiance is modern, bright, and welcoming - perfect for a casual family lunch but also a great spot if you're on the go. Fun fact: CAVA actually started in 2006 in Washington, D.C., and has grown into a nationwide favorite for healthy Mediterranean cuisine. They focus on fresh, customizable meals and even make many of their dressings and dips in-house! Overall, I'm so glad we gave this place a try. This new Gunbarrel location is a fantastic addition to the area, and I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying other bowls and pitas on the menu. Highly recommend!

I personally loved the styling. The first thing that draws the eye is the bar area with what I can only describe as a wall of whiskey. They display literally hundreds of bottles of liquor nearly to the very high ceiling, all tastefully presented and back lit so that warm amber is the predominate hue. Just striking. The entire place was very swank. I immediately felt under dressed , but in reality our attire was on a par with everyone else. The staff was outstanding. Our waiter, Caleb, couldn't have been more genial and attentive. He took the time to explain the menu and highlight the specials. Very good at his job. I ordered Philadelphia Roll with Miso Soup. My wife had the Bluegrass Chicken which made her eyes roll with pleasure. She gave me a taste, and it was, indeed, great. My Sushi was fresh and outstanding. We shared a very good salad. Just first rate fare. Price wise, this is among the more expensive places, but well worth it. Quality costs, right? This will have to be one of our special places when we don't mind splurging a bit. No issues with accessibility with my wheel chair. Spacious, and, as I said, so tastefully appointed. Payment was a breeze with the handy WR code. Highly recommended.
