Pleasant service! Food ~ fresh and delicious! Jaxson extremely polite and professional also, restaurant nice and clean.

Sweet, thoughtful staff and MIND-BLOWING drinks. This food is clean but also satisfying! It's healthy, but is also flavorful and filling. The lady behind the counter came out and talked to us. We had a balloon for a special occasion and she just wanted to be in on the fun! It was so cute. I thanked her for helping us celebrate. We had never been there before, but the gentleman behind the counter was patient as we navigated what to do. He asked what flavor profiles we enjoy and helped us build our meals accordingly. Very knowledgeable, but also personable! Definitely coming back ASAP! read more

Kay provide a great customer experience when helping me create my first order ever at Cava. It's very similar to chipotle. Just a Mediterranean version. Very fresh and filling. I really appreciate his recommendations on creating such a delicious meal. Also grabbed a blueberry lavender mixed with cucumber, mint refresher, to wash it down! read more

OMG!! Cava is my weakness now. I've tried the grain bowls, which are unbelievably delicious. I create my own bowl, and each one is a hit. Even the Sweet & Spicy Chicken wrap is the best I've ever had. Cava is a must try if you're in the mood for some Mediterranean food. Sorry, no picture, I was ready to dig in. read more

Came here couple of times already. The food is really nice , better then all the fried food that this mainly serves. And it's out side the gym so it's even better. Will come again . read more

Dining area was dirty. Drink machine was broken. Over-priced salad and it was just not good. I do not recommend this restaurant. Zoe's was so much better. read more

Kai was extremely helpful this evening. We made a mistake and duplicated an order, but she corrected it for us. The food is always great as usual. read more

It kills me to leave this review as I love CAVA and was so excited to hear we were getting one here in Birmingham. I've eaten at locations in other states and I know how amazing the food can be. However I must be honest in this review with the hope that management will read and rectify some of these issues. I've eaten here 4 times since they opened and each time the food has been cold. Not lukewarm. Not room temperature. Cold. I've eaten inside twice and got takeout twice and all 4 times the food was cold. The last time I got takeout they were completely out of lids and had to improvise by putting two bowls together to cover and prevent spillage. They made it work but I've heard of other stories of lack of utensils and being out of ingredients well before closing time. Staff friendliness and efficiency has also been lacking. I hope management reads these reviews and can work out the kinks. I truly want the business to succeed because I know how good the food and service can be. Sadly this location has a lot of issues to fix. read more

If I could give this particular location a zero I would. I never leave bad reviews but I am a frequent patron of cava, however those is the 3rd time I have tried this location and they are out of protein's after 9. I understand they may be busy but three separate occasions is unacceptable. Will not be going back to this location. read more

I'm sorry but to be totally honest the restaurant was absolutely filthy. And I mean all of it and no health rating was posted that you could see. Very very disappointing read more

OMG!! I'm in love with CAVA not just for the food but also the customer service!! Even the Ambiance is comfortable!! Best Salads ever!! Im not a fan of lamb but even the lamb meatballs are off the hook!! I want to recommend a food but everything I have eaten is so good I can't without picking the entire menu! This is more than a salad, its a meal!! The falafel is some of the best Ive had and the pita is just.omg!! I recommend everyone try it!!! Way to go CAVA!! My new number 1 favorite place! read more

Really delicious! Totally wowed me. A step above the Zoes it replaced. Even the lamb was good and I don't usually like lamb. As for portions: I was hungry when I got there and too full to finish. I made my own bowl. Should be 6 stars! read more

Used to love this location. Now, when I visit, it's consistently dirty. Tables are dirty. Food counter is a mess. No one at counter to serve(third time). Out of fountain sodas(third time). Guy sweeping the floor was unaware of my entrance today and didn't offer any assistance or explanation as to why no one was working at the counter. I waited. I was to appalled at the sloppy food counter. Food mixed together. I just walked out. Great food, but don't know if I'll return. So sad. read more

Came for dinner on Wednesday 12/ 21. We order 3 items. I ordered the lentil avocado bowl. This was my second choice. My lentils were burned, and no supergreens or slaw.They had no chicken prepared during the dinner rush, so for a period of time choices were limited. Also no ice in the ice machine. read more

This was such a treat! My husband and I decided to try the new CAVA on Hwy 280 in Hoover, AL tonight. It was our first time at a CAVA. We both made our own bowls, and loved that there were so many choices to go on it! It's actually quite a lot of food for the price, and I even took some home. The food was all very fresh, the customer service was great, and the restaurant was very clean. I also tried the cucumber lime mint juice, and that was yummy! We will DEFINITELY go back! read more

Outstanding fresh made to order bowls, incredible proteins and tons of options to choose from. Quickly becoming a favorite.

Eat here at least once a week! Great service and great food! Kay served me tonight and he was great and was super helpful in answering questions for the guest in front of me in line! :) read more

The CAVA on 280 today had great and fresh food like normal, but the service we received was above and beyond.

Went tonight and had amazing service!!! I believe a girl name Virginia served me and was phenomenal. Highly recommend!

Amber does a good job and the food is wonderful!! love this place

It does not take a lot to excite me. Thought it was a restaurant that you got service. I had the crispy falafel pita. It was horrible. Not coming here again read more

does not pick up phone calls wanted to change my order but can't even do that just wanted to say that for anyone else who tries to do an online order !! I will single handily be creating more accounts to destroy the reviews here read more

If you're in the mood for something healthier but don't have a lot of time, this is your place. Prices are around $10, some higher. Portion sizes are good and the quality is excellent. They have a neat selection of unique drinks also, sodas and teas. read more

this was my very first time eating here and I was highly disappointed! The food was disgusting and customer service was bad! I will not be eating here ever again! read more

Stopped in for lunch around 11; minimal crowd but it didn't take long for a line to form. Server was very helpful with recommendations with my build a bowl option. Extremely fresh ingredients & great flavors - I'd recommend the spicy lamb meatballs & grilled chicken. read more

First time trying Cava and was not disappointed! Q displayed great customer service. Will definitely try again!
