CAVA - The last bit of my bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

Came in to grab something to eat. I was the only one in line, one of the woman employees made eye contact with me but said nothing. No welcome, no what can I do for you? Nothing. I had to initiate a conversation with her and ask if she was ready. Because another employee was talking to her about something. Then when I ask her if she's ready, she reply's with, yes... like she was waiting on me. The service right off the bat was terrible. And I have to say the pita that I ordered was good, flavor was there, but $18? Way overpriced. If you get anything I would definitely consider a bowl, more worth the money. read more

Poor management. There has been a theme of no ice, no lemonade, running out of items for the bowl. Today, no pickled onions and no lemonade (again!). This happens on a regular basis. There were few people in the restaurant, and yet, the trash was overflowing and the drink station untidy. The kitchen was playing loud music, which was different from the main dining area music. read more

Had the salmon bowl. It was very delicious! I'd definitely go back there again! The lady Manager was very nice! The service was quick! The ambiance was really homey. read more

I was nearby so I stopped by CAVA for a quick meal and really enjoyed it. The food was fresh, tasted great, and the portions were good. The line moved pretty fast, and everything was made just the way I wanted it. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I'm craving something healthy but still filling. I did not pay attention the the ambiance but the seats were a little dirty but other than that the place looked clean. Way better location than the one near town center. read more

I probably wouldn't have tried CAVA if not for feeling that I wasn't eating enough healthy food recently. I normally don't go for these types of places as I usually don't get filled up enough due to stingy portion sizes. That is not the case with CAVA, I ordered online since there was one 4 minutes away from my hotel and I didn't need to get stuck in going home traffic in the area. I ordered online through the Yelp link and kind of tried out the online ordering system with less than high hopes that I would get what I wanted. I was surprised that it was easy to order what I wanted and the resulting bowl was pretty heavy in portion size. It is also full of flavor as well. I go for the half chicken/roasted vegetables with half greens/grain. I really enjoy the black bean grains as it adds to the texture of the meal. The chicken is good and the dips and sauces are all really tasty. The store itself is so so. It looks like any make your own pizza, salad, bowl place with a slow down with customers choosing their ingredients. The floor was a little sticky as I think someone may have dropped a drink as there was a drink bar near the take out order areas. I usually order at my hotel and it's ready within a few minutes of my arrival so about ten minutes from online order to in my hands. I have been here twice and both times, there were a lot of customers so I believe they are very popular. This meal really fills me up and I feel good after eating my meals here. Overall, I enjoy taking out from CAVA a lot and I appreciate the food prep personnel as they do a good job. read more

CAVA - Hopefully it's enough! - Mediterranean Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

Take out | Dinner | $10-20 I have purchased food from here on many occasions but tonight my food is ice cold. I purchased the lamb what a waste of $$. It was cold, The rice was cold not really sure what was going on, but the attendant seems very distracted with people coming to visit. I'm assuming they either workday or I used to work there. I only live about five minutes away and my food should not be this cold like it is cold to the touch like rice, cold lamb. This by far is probably the worst experience I've had with CAVA and I have been eating from this location for several years now I'm really disappointed. The lamb was fatty, I not sure it was even Lamb. I think I'm going to stay away for a while. read more

Great quality, healthy, and always yummy. This is an easy go to lunch option for me. I love the steak bowl

Decided try something different other than chiptole and I have not been back to chiptole since. The food is so good with a varitety of options that you can add to your bowl. The service is always great, they allow you to sample items that you are unsure about as well as put things on the side. The ambiance is a nice for a quick casual lunch gathering with 1-2 people. read more

I had a yummy dinner at CAVA. I got spinach and chicken with hummus. Tzatziki sauce was amazing! It was delicious! Everything was super fresh even though it was late in the evening. Staff is friendly. Place was clean. It was busy even in the at 9pm. This place is popular but line goes fast. It was a pleasant experience at CAVA! read more

I came here on a Wednesday evening for a quick dinner to go. I've been here before, but I didn't realize I hadn't written a review. They were pretty busy, but I didn't mind it since it gave me some time to choose what I wanted. I opted for the steak protein bowl over spinach. I chose grilled corn, tomato, and onion mix, pickled onions, and a generous amount of dressing. I noticed the portion size was much smaller than years ago. Not sure if it was because of the economy we're in or just because of the person serving it. No worries. It was just as delicious as I remembered. So glad I stopped by. read more

I love CAVA and was excited to see they have them here on the east coast. Staff is friendly, portions are good, and food is very tasty. My go to is the steak+harissa bowl. Only reason for 4 stars is it is a bit overpriced. However, I have downloaded the app and they seem to have some good deals from time to time that I plan on taking advantage of. read more

It was refreshing to get a healthy meal at a decent price. Some of the negative reviews on yelp and Google are really not understandable. They were nice behind the counter. The place seemed clean. They were friendly. I thought the food was good. I would go there again. read more

Can never go wrong with Cava. Tired of the 4th of July BBQ so needed something different. I rarely actually sit down and eat in there but it's always a nice atmosphere. The people were friendly and had my order ready when I came in. I got the spicy lamb meatballs which are not spicy but still good. The garlic sauce is a must. Definitely brings everything together. The hot harissa chops are good. Wish they would bring back the ranch chips. Overall great good with great service. read more

Good food, good service - that's always a good start! I popped in here the other night to grab a healthy meal. I got the Greek Salad with a few modifications. I needed some extra veggies so I added them, and the char was just enough. I also had tahini Caesar and Greek vinaigrette on the side since I had a little drive before I'd eat. I didn't want my salad to be soggy. I added the roasted eggplant dip to the hummus and tzatziki that accompany this dish. The salad was super tasty. I think the Newport News restaurant spoiled me though; I was looking for my pita bread :-( I didn't need the bread! They have plenty of tables and seating options. I like how the drink cooler is right when you walk in - smart marketing strategy. They even have still and sparkling water in aluminum bottles! read more

I honestly could eat Cava everyday especially now that they've added a few salmon options to their menu. In addition, the service is first rate. Shout out to Rosie and the crew at the Cava on Eden Way. They are awesome. read more

Cava is definitely my go-to for delicious and quick Mediterranean food. It's convenient and healthy and has flavorful options. This location is always pretty packed. They need to do some more proactive methods around having enough meat at any given time. With how many people flow through here per day, I am usually surprised when there is a wait for meat, rice, etc. I wish they would double-wrap the pitas when they are to-go! They are extremely messy when you get sauces intermixed with everything. Please consider a different containment method for pitas. This would go a long way! Overall, love Cava and will continue to return! read more

Thank you Savannah for a good welcome and experience at cava. I appreciate you and the other amazing workers for yalls good service!!

I have always loved Cava for its flavors and fresh ingredients. It's kind of like a Chipotle, but better. This is a Mediterranean style restaurant. Honestly, whatever you order is going to be delicious. A few of my favorite things are their homemade pita bread, any choice of meat/protein and their hummus! This location was very large and clean. Luckily when I went at 11AM on a Friday morning, there weren't many people so it was pretty quiet. The few people that were there quietly sat and did their thing. The staff was very patient when my group and I were making up our minds on what to order. The portions at this location are also great. And this location has many, many selections of their lemonades/drinks that took me a while to decide! I ended up going with the strawberry lemonade choice, but any drink you choose here is also going to be super fresh and delicious. This time I ordered half brown rice, half grains, chicken and vegetables for the protein (picking 2 was an extra charge), tomatoes, cucumbers, hummus, tzatziki, feta cheese, and the lemon chicken sauce. It ended up being $15.57 and then I noticed the drinks around the corner, so I paid an additional $3.36. It's a bit pricey, but for the quality of food and a treat once in a while I think it's worth it. I did not use the restroom because I was just passing through, but I have no doubt it would have been just as clean as everything else. If I'm ever in the area again, I'd definitely go back! read more

As soon as I walked in, I was greeted which is phenomenal for a busy place. The server asked me if I knew what I wanted or if I needed time. Great customer service because I didn't feel rushed to order something. I decided to do the build your own greens and grains bowl with chicken. I love the all of the hummuses but went with the traditional, harissa, and eggplant. The best part is that the toppings are unlimited. I basically got them all. I did get the dressings on the side. The harissa vinaigrette and the Caesar. This was my first time trying the caesar, I wasn't a fan. The flavor with the toppings all mixed in. Yum!!! I couldn't get enough. Back to the service, the water dispenser is broken, so the server helped me to get the water out which is great. She didn't want the water to splash on me which I appreciate. The tables were clean and I was able to find a spot to eat. They do have sanitizer dispensers. Overall, my food and service was great. I didn't feel bloated or anything after eating here. I would come back. read more

Great food, not so great service. Stopped in around 9:20 (they close at 10). The person on the line made me feel like a complete bother. Half the line had been cleared, so there were limited options. She started to offer me a drink at checkout then stopped herself...they had already closed the drink station for the night. Overall the food was good and the restaurant seemed clean, but the attitude of the workers makes me not want to return. read more

Honestly, food is always on point. Never an issue there. Harissa chicken, need I say more. Employees? Yeah they leave a lot to be desired. They're rude, and can't be bothered. Their answer to figuring out why we're waiting 20 minutes *past* our pick up time with a screaming baby in the car, is that there was a "glitch in the system", but that the food will be ready very soon. (Surprise, it wasn't). Honestly, 35 minutes from when we placed the order, I just wanted to go home. Because we ordered through the app, we couldn't just get a refund and go home. So we can put in a request through the app for a refund that we may or may not get, or just leave with no food and money down the drain. So now the baby is hysterically crying, and I'm honesty right behind her. Being completely transparent here, this has left such a terrible and frustrating impression on me and I don't plan to come back to support them in the future. read more

I have wanted to try CAVA for years, but have never lived close to one. That changed yesterday and I will most definitely become a regular. The best way to describe it is that it's very similar to Chipotle, but mediterranean food, which makes it 10x better. I got the Greens & Grain bowl with baby spinach and cauli rice. I added on basically all the toppings and did half honey harissa chicken & half lamb meatballs for my protein. Everything was insanely good!! read more

CAVA - Greens & Grain Bowl -- half Honey Harissa Chicken & Half Lamb Meatballs - Mediterranean Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

My friends kept on mentioning how good this place is, but since I just became a fan of mediterranean food recently, I decided to give CAVA a try. Ambiance: The restaurant is clean and open. It is very welcoming to their guests. It is similar to Chipotle, only they serve Mediterranean food. Food: I tried to be as basic as possible.I ordered white rice, tzatziki, harissa honey chicken, shredded romaine, pickled onions, cabbage slaw, , garlic, and lemon herb tahini. Everything I ordered were fresh and delicious. My favorite was the harissa chicken, garlic, and lemon herb sauce. The tastes blends and compliments together. Service: The staff were friendly and were accommodating. It was my first time in this restaurant so I was having a hard time on picking sauces. They gave me sample cups for the sauces. CAVA is a must try if you want to start trying Mediterranean foods. We will definitely be back. read more

Dropped by Cava for a lunch. I was greeted when i entered and the staff was nice. The restaurant was clean inside. There was a slight line but it was moving quickly. I decided to try the lamb meatballs with corn, spinach, lentils, cucumber and tomatoes, feta cheese, crazy feta, tzatziki, garlic sauce, and a side of pita chips... I got extra dip which is $.95 per cup. The bowl had alot of sauce, which don't get me wrong I'm a sauce boss. But the ratio to what was in my bowl made it soggy. The food was soggy and the cardboard bowl was to by the time i got home. So maybe asking for sauce on the side is best if you're not eating it right away. The meatballs were very pinkish red, so i called to make sure they weren't raw. The person i spoke with assured me they only look that way because they put harrisa into the meatballs. But i was confused because 3 meatballs looked raw and one looked brown which is how I'd expect a meatball to look. Since they weren't all the same i just ate the one that looked done and threw the others away. Besides that the bowl was just ok. It was just to wet. I really like Cava so i feel this just wasn't a good day. This was my first time at this location but i would be willing to try them out again if I'm in the area... read more

They're doing the best they can. Food is delicious of course. My App order got lost in the shuffle, and after they asked my name a few times while I was standing there, I realized they hadn't even started it, almost 30 mins later. But the gal at the register made it all right by making my order herself, even though she had gotten very busy Let's be kind folks. ...And if not kind, and a little attitude pops out (like mine did), please apologize when appropriate. I think that means a lot to the folks who are actually working these days, hustlin and bustlin to make up for staffing shortages everywhere. :-) read more

I absolutely love cava it's a great fast casual restaurant. The ingredients usually taste pretty fresh not matter what time I go. I love the honey harissa chicken and loafing up on the veggies.

Cava Cava Cava The first salad joint that makes my mouth water. I crave it. It gives me hope lol. Just came off a walk and forgot to bring protein. I ended up shakey and needed good food quick. Thank goodness there's a Mediterranean salad nearby... CAVA!!! Genius. I choose to build my own bowl every time, just for the thrill of all the healthy and flavorful ingredients. I can't say much more because I'm typing in between fork fills! They of course have an app. Good parking. Great location. I love that they're throughout the US.

I absolutely LOVE Cava! Our family has had several experiences here via app ordering and curbside pickup. Cava occupies the former Zoe's spot off Eden Way behind the Target shopping center. They have a couple of spots dedicated to online orders for curbside pickup, which is so nice. We've ordered 3 times now and each time the person coming to the car was super kind and, of course, wearing a mask. What I love the most about Cava is that, for each entree - grain bowl, salad, pita - they offer unlimited toppings. Spreads and dips are limited but you still get 3 (woah!). I've tried both the grilled chicken and harissa honey chicken. Both are so flavorful! Hubby has tried the lamb as well with rave reviews. The portions have been excellent as well. There's usually enough for me to make a 2nd meal of the leftovers, so the value is really good for the price. Glad to see they've replaced Zoe's with something I like even more! It's a new go-to for our family. read more

CAVA, I was upset when Zoe's Kitchen closed down (only to find out y'all joined teams!), but you have not let me down since opening up. Delicious Greek/Mediterranean food with dips, spreads and sauces all made fresh on a daily bases in small batches, all vegetarian AND low in fat and sodium - who said free of additives and preservatives!? Cava did!? Nice. Healthy and tasty. Double victory. One word that comes to mind when I think of Cava is consistency. Each time the food has been full of flavor, delicious, with fresh ingredients and always presentable. Order through the app or make an online order and write the make and color of your vehicle, pull up in the 10minute parking spots located outside at your pick up time, call the number provided and they'll bring it straight out to you with a smile! Give Cava a try if you haven't; healthy and super tasty! 014/2020 read more
