Fresh food, friendly and located right next to a free public parking deck. I tried the new spicy lamb + avocado. It was delicious! I also tried the cucumber mint lime drink and loved it! I'll definitely be back to try other dishes.

Greens + Grains Bowl

My bestie and I visited here on our way to an event. I've been hooked ever since. I love the different healthy options available and that you can fully customize your experience. It would help to browse the menu before going so you don't hold up the line during busier times. I think in this day I opted for a veggie bowl. But I've also had the chicken grain and green bowl as well as the falafel and all were great. The pita chips are a must try! They are so addictive! I also love the free parking deck and the digital drive-through on those days when I just want to grab and go.

The item found is on the fork ! What is that ? Worst experience and customer service EVERRRRRRRRR!

Ordered through DoorDash ! Found something black in bowl. Called the store . Managers Jamiyah and Jessica were of no help! Brought the bowl back into store they did not want to give a refund or make a new bowl. Argued back and forth . Jessica would rather flirt in the back and give no resolutions Jamiyah stared blank in the distance with a stank look on her face would not recommend.

Arbitrarily closing an hour early

Closes early idk why I have to drive to a store if I cannot reliably predict when they're open during listed business hours.

The Chicken + Rice bowl, plated!

This past weekend I picked up dinner from Cava on 20th street in bham! Cava is one my favorite fast casual spots to visit. I prioritize a lot of things when it comes to food. Does the restaurant have whole fresh ingredients, what type of oils do they use to cook, and the customer service. Cava meets those expectations. I have never had a bad experience with ordering in-person or on the mobile app. The food is always excellent and nutritious. I don't feel bloated after eating. They also have a good selection of homemade beverages; my favorite is the cucumber mint. My go to order is the kid's meal, it comes with your choice of meat, a grain, and two toppings! All for about $7, drink included! As a college student affordability is priority, especially when it comes to late dinners. They also use biodegradable utensils and their takeout bags are recyclable. Cava is home to healthcare workers, college students, families visiting loved one in the hospital, entrepreneurs, etc. It embodies what Birmingham is all about, community!

Build your own bowl greens & grains Steak is the protein

Finally got the chance to try Cava last night and it was very well worth the wait! I'm a Mediterranean food lover & this is right up my alley! Everything was fresh fast friendly service the server took his time with me after I told him I was a newbie I was able to test the sauces & I went with the yogurt dill & Greek vinaigrette BOMB!! I chose the steak as my protein & it was very tender but lacked flavor so I think I'll go with the chicken next time I highly recommend this place I will definitely be back to try other options & flavors! Cava is an immediate YES for me!

Lemon chicken bowl and pita
Lucy T.

I started seeing Cava locations pop up a lot recently in Birmingham. When I saw this one within a mile of both my house and my work, I knew we were going to be seeing each other a lot! Healthy, crave-able food is my weakness! I already love a Mediterranean food, so think of this as a Mediterranean version of Chipotle. You choose whether you want a wrap (burrito) or a bowl then add your protein, veggies, and all those yummy toppings! I chose to order the Lemon Chicken bowl. It was tough considering I wanted to try almost every bowl they offered here! I added on all my yummy toppings, most of which are free except for avocado and extra servings. It was so fresh! I also discovered how much I liked pickled lentils! It's a filling meal and was about $11. Not too shabby. Pita is free too, so make sure you ask for some! I'm ready to make Cava a go to place for when I want something fast, casual, and healthy!

The restaurant I chose for my review is CAVA, I chose CAVA because it is a mediterranean restaurant. I love mediterranean food because it is very healthy, my order from cava was lettuce, rice, chicken, tzatziki sauce, cucumber, avocado and onions. It has carbs, proteins and vegetables in it, which makes the food a good balance. CAVA is one of the healthiest food spots to eat in the US. The food quality also really good, the vegetables and the meat are always fresh when I go there to eat, and a bonus is that the place is always clean, and the employee are very nice.

Build your own falafel bowl
Olivia S.

Cava is a fast casual restaurant that I frequent often. My experience this day was great and the service was quick and efficient. I built my own bowl and piled it high with fresh ingredients. I would recommend any of their options, but the falafel, garlic sauce, fiery broccoli, and eggplant dip are some of my favorite toppings. There is always enough seating at this location and the restaurant is clean. Cava also offers a plethora of drink options as well as a couple sides. In my opinion, Cava is on the more expensive end of the fast food/fast casual spectrum. However, it is worth it for the convenience and healthiness of the options. Overall, I will be eating here again!

Tasty Town - Pastitsio

I really enjoy going to Tasty Town for lunch. I normally get the catfish lunch meal with the…read moreVillage Salad and their French fries, and it's always exactly what I'm craving. I love that the catfish is crispy on the outside but still tender and flavorful on the inside. I also really like the Village Salad it's fresh and light, which balances out the heavier parts of my meal. I usually pair it with their French fries because I can't resist the crispy, golden texture. Excellent service and dining experience. Great spot for business dinners or lunch with friends. I've tried looking at their vegetarian options too, and while I don't usually get them, I think they have some solid choices. I like that I can customize a salad or get a few sides to make a meal that's vegetarian-friendly. I think Tasty Town does a good job of offering something for everyone. I personally stick to my usual catfish meal, but I feel like I could explore more of their options if I wanted to try something different. Overall, I really enjoy my lunches there, and I always feel satisfied and happy with my choices.

This review is specifically for the catered/box lunches we recently enjoyed from Tasty Town…read more Each lunch was boxed separately and included the silverware packet. That's a huge plus; the number of times I've seen referees having to pass on the side because they didn't have utensils! The entree was a chicken pita. It did have a few fresh onions, but I enjoyed them since I didn't have to be the one dragon breathing around the field all day. We did have a choice of roasted potatoes or basmati rice. The potatoes went much quicker than the rice; I had the potatoes and they were fantastic. There was also a tray of chocolate chip cookies provided. I don't think they were frash made; they looked similar to other restaurants generic chocolate chip cookies. They were a nice addition to the lunch, though. They also provided sweet and unsweet tea in gallon jugs.

I was craving cheesecake. I never crave cheesecake. I browsed yelp for some recommendations but…read morenothing blew my mind. I ended up coming to Costas since it's really a staple in my area. I wanted cherry cheesecake ( I looooove cherries) but they were out of cherries, so I ended up with strawberry instead. The slice size was adequate and tasty. Price point @ $7 a slice was reasonable. The to go service was pretty fast & friendly.

I've eaten here on several occasions but never left a review until now. Shameful. I visited here…read morebecause I wanted to try their pastichio, only to discover it's no longer on the menu. My server, who was super friendly and helpful, stated that the Hoover location still serves it but due to the lengthy process it takes to make it, this location does not offer it anymore. While I was disappointed to find this out, my food made up for it. At my server's suggestion, I ordered the baked ziti lunch special for $10.95. The special came with salad and a breadstick and a healthy serving of baked ziti. I wanted Greek dressing with my salad, but quickly realized that that was not the right choice. It looked more like balsamic vinaigrette and was very tart. I usually eat Greek dressing when dining out but maybe theirs is.....very unique. Maybe I received the wrong dressing. All I know is I couldn't finish my salad because of it. The breadstick was warm and comforting and the baked ziti was very rich and cheesy. It was a delicious and robust choice that didn't break the bank and helped to ease my disappointment on missing out on the pastichio. The server (who kept saying she had been there for 18 years) was excellent albeit really talkative. Not necessarily a bad thing so don't think that it is. There's something nostalgic about this restaurant. It's older but it's still in good shape. It's a huge place with plenty of seating as the place is never crowded the times I've been on the weekend. As an introvert, I actually appreciate that fact. I'll definitely return as I always do when I'm in the mood for rich Italian cuisine.
