It reminds me of chipotle in the sense that you are behind looking and picking what you want. You pick a base such as grain and greens. Then dips and spread like hummus, toppings and dressing. This all comes with pita. It all really good. I usually get tea or sweet ice tea as well. Little outdoor patio at this location. Social distancing enforced. read more

We've been going to this Cava location about every couple weeks for over a year now. We loved this place. Their food was fresh, prepared well and great quality. It's been a month since our last visit and we don't know what has happened. They were extremely understaffed. Only one person on serving and ringing people up and then one cook. They were both working hard and trying hard but there is no way that place can function with only two employees. We got our greens and grains bowls and the first bad thing was there was no plastic forks. The real silverware was in a holder full of food bits and oil. The guy serving said they were out of plastic forks and that was all the silverware. He told us to use the spoons. You can't eat a salad with a spoon. I had to take two silverware forks into the bathroom and wash them myself. The bathroom looked to have not been cleaned in a week. Floors sticky, toilet covered in literal crap, paper towels all over. I should've taken a pic but just wanted out of there fast. Next we go outside, sit and take our first bite of our food. We both stopped mid bite and had to spit it out because the black lentils were not cooked at all. We could've cracked our teeth on them. Very disappointing but we were starving so we tried to pick around the lentils. My husband pulled out an entire hard butt of Romain lettuce out of his bowl. In pic. I again almost broke a tooth on a huge kale stalk. The lamb was 80% mushy fat. My husband tried one meatball and said the meatballs (which he always gets) didn't taste right. We couldn't eat the food at all. We threw it out and left. One hour later my husband got sick. This was a horrible experience at Cava and forever ruined it for us. WE WILL NOT BE GOING BACK EVER. read more

This visit was at lunch time. Got there before the lunch rush which was good because they are packed at lunch, there was a continuous line for about 30 minutes while I was there. The staff were efficient and the restaurant was very clean. The ambiance is very casual. Now to the food. My favorite was the drink, the Cucumber, mint, lime it is seriously refreshing and just fyi, it's free refills while in the restaurant. The pita chips are pita flats that are cut into triangles and deep fried but not completely...they are still soft and the red pepper hummus is delicious and pairs well with the chips. Now the spicy lamb pita is not an authentic Mediterranean one and it's not spicy. It's an americanized version that is tasty and it is a good serving for the price. They do have a rewards app and you can get a birthday treat. I will definitely return. read more

Love this healthy, fresh, clean eating, Mediterranean chipotle type place. I love me a good greens and grain bowl and this place does it right!! Love the options, love that you can see what you're getting before you decide. Fast, cheap, and healthy. Yasss please! I inhaled my food before I could take a pic. Starvin marvin, sorry! read more

LOVE this place, best for a quick and healthy meal. Paris, one of the workers, was especially cheerful and gave great recommendations. Always love coming here! read more

It's fast food. It's healthy. It's Mediterranean. Take Protein X. Put on Salad, Greens or Pita. Add Topping Y and Dressing Z. You can have more than one topping. It feels like a chain but its good for you. How does it taste? Not like much unless you get the spicy lamb meatballs. The meatballs saved the day. Not a place to have a romantic dinner. If your office is near here and you need lunch, Go for it. read more

Today was my first time checking out CAVA, and my experience was fantastic. Andrew, the manager, was very friendly and knowledgeable in guiding my experience in creating my own Greens + Grains bowl. The entire staff was friendly and helpful, the cleanliness of the store was well managed (sanitized hourly), and the food quality and flavor was beyond what I expected! (Previously I would go to VERTS, which is permanently closed. This is much better in all aspects than VERTS.) 5/5. I will be returning for more delicious eats! read more

I regret coming to this location today. I ordered the harissa avocado bowl without feta. The first person put the base grains I. The bowl and passed it to the second person who was literally slopping food into the bowl as fast as she could go, including feta. I said that I can't have cheese. She acted put out and grabbed another bowl and started slopping...again with the creamy feta. I asked, "is that cheese...I can't have cheese." This time, she used her gloved have to dump out the feta part, along with avoid portion of the rest of the bowl and went back to "slopping". Squirted dressing dressing all over the side of the bowl. Just wasn't very appetizing for a $14 bowl. read more

Used to love coming here all the time, but over these past couple of months, the portion sizes have gotten TREMENDOUSLY and ridiculously small. Although the food is fresh and tasty, the amount is way too small for the price. I'm truly disappointed by the quality of what's being served to customers. The size isn't even enough for one person. It's literally kid sized. Will not be coming back and will be telling friends to stay away unless things change. read more

Cava, oh Cava! How I wish to love thee! You spurn my online orders and just when I think we've made up, you passive aggressively send me home with hard lentils hidden in my dinner. I guess we're not meant for each other. Your website is beautiful and your food is so often delectable, but alas, so so many times I've wound I try to make up, but no one will pass me through. I think the biggest issue is all the problems with ordering - from the web not being intuitive (but always beautiful!) to not being able to call them for curbside, to them not answering the phone to fix an issue). Once you actually get the food, it's largely stellar (except this one time today with the hard lentils, seriously). In person ordering : go for it. Online, if you can navigate the labyrinth, proceed. We had so much potential, Cava. read more

This chain is quite popular and rightly so. It's clean, it's hip, it's healthy and it tastes great. The space in this restaurant is gorgeous and there's plenty of parking in the plaza. At the core, you can consider it a Mediterranean Chipotle type place with better quality. I love me a grain bowl with rice, though the black lentils are good per my wife, or salad grain bowl and most times I get almost all the side veggies since they're all pretty good. The beef meatballs are flavorful and the mezzes are good too. Sauces are all very flavorful and won't add a lot of calories if you're counting. Definitely the type of place that is "in" right now for this generation so looking forward to coming back! read more

This place is sooo good! I always get the lamb, even though it's a little more money. All the sauces and dups that you add make it so yummy. One serving is usually enough for some leftovers the next day - and it takes so good, even the next day. The best thing is the staff, they were so kind to me, even when I screwed up and ordered from the wrong restaurant. Word to the wise: The one is Westlake, not Westlake Hills. I won't make that mistake again! read more

Out of chicken, out of fountain machine ice, garbage hadn't been pulled all day (pretty disgusting to look at this prior to eating)

Good place for food and people but cleaning should get better. It was untidy on this table for a while and no one paid attention until I had to literally show them. read more

I highly recommend this restaurant. It smells so good when you walk in and it's the grilling chicken we found the smart rice and the salads to be divine. The dressing was a little heavy in application but everything was fresh tasting and looking. I felt it was a healthy meal. Why four stars instead of five? We arrived at 2:30 in the afternoon and order meals I went to find a place to sit down. It was obvious the tables had not been wiped down . In the whole restaurant inside and out there were only 2 tables that did not have food particles on them. By 2:30 in the afternoon, all tables should be clean after the lunch rush if not throughout all service hours. Clean your eating spaces, keep your food awesome and you'll get 5 stars. Me time I'm ordering one of those delicious beverages. They were not suggested but found when pouring my water. Cucumber mint and blueberry lavender look divine and will be refreshing especially as our weather warms! read more

This is the worst, cava location I've ever been to. I spent almost $20 for a bowl full of burnt meat, undercooked lentils and extras that I paid for and didn't receive. I was severely disappointed!!!! read more

You'll be the only person in line but you'll still wait in line for 30 minutes while they prioritize making all of their online orders instead of helping anyone who is actually there in person to get food read more

I happened to find a Mediterranean resturant that serves a variety of rice, hummus, lamb, beef meatballs and vegatables all in a bowl. I was pleasantly surprised how well it was prepared and tastes amazing. The lamb meatballs along with the red roasted hummus is absolutley perfect. The beef meatballs were too over done a little too black on side of the meatballs. But definitely give them another chance to see if they will cook it just right when I return to rewrire this review. I want to add they have outdooe patio and several tables inside. The watermelin mint drink is the best ever.......I am excited to know its in my neck of the woods and like a new Mediterranean resturant that serves like a buffet type setting no waiters or waitresses folks. So try this great place like I did.....totally fun to give it a whirl. read more

This place is my new favorite health food spot! It has so many options for non-veg options but is still super vegan friendly at the same time. You can either get greens and make a salad or grains which is rice and lentils. You can also get both which is what I get! The set up is basically similar to chipotle style where you walk down the aisle and select your toppings and sauces. My favorite part is the Harissa sauce! It is SO good! It is spicy so if you cant handle spice, then steer clear. I will say that my favorite combo is to get the harissa sauce along with each hummus (you can pick up to three sauces) and then to get the green harissa dressing at the end. And dont forget the crunch pita chips, they make a great topping. I will say - I wish they had avocado as a topping. I think it would fit so well with the food, Im surprised they dont have it as an option. Overall I really love that this is a really good fast food healthy spot that I can go to other than Zoeys Kitchen! Bonus: They actually have really good teas/ fruit drinks. I dont usually get drinks when I eat out cause it gets pricey but I love their tea. read more

This place can get crazy busy at lunchtime. Place your order online for pickup later. You'll still have to fight for parking, but so much faster and convenient to run in and have your food ready. Delicious options, tasty sauces and dressings. The flavors are great. Will be back for more! read more

Do you like Greek food? Do you like picking and choosing what you want in your meal individually? Do you appreciate amazing customer service? This place is for you. Moving from the Tarpon Springs, FL area, among the largest percentage of Greek Americans of any city in the US, I miss the Greek food so much and CAVA helped alleviate the pang. All of the options might look overwhelming but the employees are incredibly helpful in order for you to figure out what you want. read more

Pulled into town for a quick getaway and decided to try this place for lunch on a whim. It was AMAZING!!! So many great Mediterranean inspired options to build your own bowl. I had the lemon chicken, spicy lamb meatballs and falafel for my proteins, along with 3 different hummus flavors -- all on a bed of spinach and romaine and topped with veggies and lemon vinaigrette. Absolutely delicious!! I'll be back next time I'm in Austin!! read more

It's s been awhile since we've been to this location and boy what a pleasant surprise it was for us! Today was one of those days where I was so busy I missed breakfast & lunch. By 3:30, I was starving and decided to stop in. My son and I were greeted by employees- Beauty, Bri and manager, James. Everyone was warm, friendly and made sure we were well informed about our choices and guided through the many selections -with patience! Beauty and Bri went out of their way to be kind and friendly to my special needs son. Even though it was mid afternoon, the food was fresh, and the environment was clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend eating here. The food is great and the staff is amazing. They made our day! Thank you Beauty, Bri and James. We will be back! read more
