Food Overall, the food was pretty good. Tried the Harissa Honey Chicken and it had some good developed flavors. Also a nice mix of options when building your bowl. Service Service was ok. They kept forgetting the pita for several customers' orders so you first had the main line to order then another line formed afterwards for pita. Ambiance Plenty of seating inside and out. Only a couple of the tables outside had umbrellas so keep that in mind if it is sunny. Would I go back? Sure. Conveniently located read more

This is the SECOND TIME now we have ordered from this cava and we got NO PROTEIN in our bowls. The first time we went they didn't put any chicken in my bowl and we figured it was a fluke. Annoying but we brushed it off. Tonight however, it happened again. How do you forget the shrimp in a shrimp bowl? How do you forget the chicken in a chicken bowl? I will never know, but honestly I will probably never be back. I'm at the very least done ordering online. This is ridiculous. Also, how are you going to forget the shrimp, and then not even fill the bowl up with lettuce! Or at least give me a good amount of toppings too! read more

CAVA - Shrimp Salad Bowl - Salad Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

What happened? Gone down hill. Portion sizes have gotten so small, especially for take out. The staff is RUDE, speak in a different language with each other often joking and laughing, and do not seem to understand sanitary protocol. With the rude staff, small portions on take-out, and increasing concerns for cleanliness amongst the staff, we no longer will eat here anymore. read more

Came for the new Harissa Avocado Bowl with Harissa Pita Chips - so much flavor!!! Was able to get in, order, and exit quickly on a Friday night. Currently giving out keychain plush pita toys with Harissa meals! Gotta love CAVA! Staff was friendly and helpful with some modifications I requested and utilizing my birthday reward! read more

I'll start by saying the food was great. The steak was tender - I only had one piece I couldn't eat. I loved the build your own set up, but also having recipe options to choose from. The staff, however, we're not friendly at all. It was our first time in and we felt extremely rushed. My husband didn't end up loving his bowl because he felt pressured to make quick decisions. There was no one in line. The staff that helped us couldn't have care if we existed. It was very unwelcoming. The staff are either very unkind people or really don't like their job. Either way, management should really consider addressing this. The cafe was not the most clean - there were pieces of pita on the floor, food scattered under tables, and we had to search for a clean table to eat at. The bathrooms weren't much better. We likely won't come back to this location, unless out of necessity (our only option). read more

CAVA - Build your own bowl - Arugula, steak, tzatziki, pickled red onion, feta cheese, cucumber, steak, lemon tahini sauce. - Salad Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

Food is good, but my gawd the service is terrible. I've gone a few times and each time is the same. Idk if it's a cultural barrier or what but these guys are just not friendly. And I hate that they don't give you what comes with your food - like if u order a bowl you get pita with it, but I have to ASK each time, and I hate doing that. Same goes for the drink that COMES WITH a kids plate. The other thing, day or night, it's always DIRTY. The trash is ALWAYS full and the tables & floors are disgusting. read more

Service is so bad. The guy behind the counter could not have acted less happy to be there and acted annoyed at every topping I asked for. I would rather drive all the way to green hills than go to this cava. read more

My order was 13 minutes late from the estimated time and when my bag was handed to me it was smeared with hummus on the outside so it got on my shirt and I didn't realize until I got to my car. They also didn't give me my drink cup so I had to ask for it. However, the bowl was fresh and delicious so I totally get why this place has so much hype. Maybe if they clean up and organize their process this would have been a five start experience! read more

I have been a fan of cava since 2018. The one on medical center parkway is always welcoming and the food it's very fresh and tasty. Love it being a healthy choice! read more

My sister has been telling me to try this place and I finally was able to go. There's not one super close to me so since we were in the area we decided to stop by. I can't say night about it, it was so good. I hope they expand their locations in Nashville as I thoroughly enjoyed the food. The restaurant was cleans and the staff was friendly. I will definitely be back. read more

CAVA - Build your own bowl with harissa sauce vinaigrette - Salad Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

Cava always brings it. Nothing like braised lamb. All the ingredients are fresh. This one moves at a high pace, so you need to be ready and know what you want. Clean sitting area. Bathrooms were well maintained. The staff were responsive and helpful with questions, but moved very quickly. read more

I love the food here! However, most of the workers are rude. I'm here almost 1/week and it's always the same ones - every time. Especially the young female manager. With all the similar reviews, I don't know why this is still an issue. I tried ordering today and the worker couldn't understand me. If they are going to be taking orders, they need to be able to communicate clearly. Same problem as so many other reviews... come on Cava! read more

Very angry and unpleasant owners/workers. They were arguing with each other while customers were waiting in line. Food is average. Won't be going back and don't recommend. read more

*DoorDash experience* CAVA is one of those places where I don't feel bad spending my money on takeout. I made sure to add as much veggies as I can get, while also adding some protein(steak) The falafel and pita chips definitely made it even better read more

CAVA - Salad Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

The set up is Mediterranean chipotle, what else do you need to know? I got the falafel bowl, it was kinda light on the falafel but was really good and hearty otherwise. read more

I love Cava but every employee who works at this location makes me feel like a burden for even considering ordering food from them and wanting to give them my money. God forbid I ask for Pita bread which they are supposed to offer to everyone. It's okay if the customer service industry ain't for you, but don't take it out on the people just tryna get some harissa honey chicken. Managers gotta figure out hiring people who actually know how to smile and say hi. Hope you guys can figure it out. read more

I found a big piece of plastic in my salad almost choked me! I known I can't even complain because they already looked mad! So I thought to just post it here. read more

CAVA - Salad Bowl - Salad Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

Food is good, service is horrible. Everyone there seemed angry and didn't want to be there. Very unfriendly.

if you have tremendous disposable income, would like to practice your Arabic AND your culinary standards are appropriately low..... Cava is the place for you!!! over priced slop- we ate on 3 days ago - my wife ordered a falfalle salad- i had a shwarma wrap- both the salad and the wrap were bathed in dressing- its a good thing we ate their.... the bread was already disolving couldn't communicate with any of the guys taking orders or making the food...... 5 guys on a crew - one spoke barely legible English(Google translate)- i kept looking around for a manager type...... nope!!! pretty shocking for a front facing service restaurant i took my teenager daughter there for lunch a few months back- food was decent - but $40 for a lunch-(no drinks)- no thanks!!! thought i would give it a second go- yep..... read more

I love cava. We eat at our local cava regularly and we're excited to stop by. They were unstocked (no grilled veggies or feta???) and food was a mess all over the counter. They need some leadership and training to keep the standards as expected. read more

Thanks for the great service, Jovanny! The bowls were delicious and the pita chips hit the spot!

My first visit, Food was delicious,fast service. Employees very helpful, especially Jovanny

Love this place, service is incredible, Jovany at the front provided amazing customer service. Will be back again!

First of all, I've never been treated so nice at any cava (Green Hills is my usual). They welcomed us (loudly and enthusiastically!) with a smile and while they were quick, they did not hurry me or anyone else. They ask how your day is and have conversations as they quickly and efficiently get your order together! The workers seem to really enjoy and appreciate each other. Abrahm and Salah helped us today and they were soooo awesome!! I watched as they helped others the whole time we were eating. The food was awesome just as expected from Cava!! I'd give this place a 5+. Plenty of parking. Plenty of seating-inside and outside. 2 restrooms that were clean. I hope to come back here. We live 3hrs away. read more

I love Cava so much, It's like a healthier chipotle and 3x better! Must try if you haven't already:) read more

The restaurant was dirty. All the tables had not been wiped off. Staff was no friendly. I ordered the Steak and Feta Pita. It was so messy that it did not even look appetizing. It was dripping everywhere that I gave up on eating it and threw it away. read more

The worst crew!! The crew didn't have any patience in spite of empty waiting line. My child and I had to think about what items to add as we were quite new to this food place, however the server acted annoyed and restless as we're were deciding on the items which actually took us only milli seconds though. Then he placed our order in a corner as if he didn't care while I was paying and didn't bother to handle over the order. Never going to this place! Such bad manners! So disappointing read more

While the food is tasty, service is friendly, and there is so many healthy options; this place could do better on cleaning up tables and the soda area. I love this spot. The food is delicious, the drink options are great, flavors and staff are excellent! I just wish they cleaned a little bit more. That is the only reason for 4 stars. Overall, this is a great place to eat at. It's a bit pricy, but you're paying for good quality. It's a nice place, a bit noisy when busy, but a great eatery. Make sure you grab pita chips when they're fresh! They're amazing!! read more

The food is great. The people working at this location are truly some of the rudest people I have ever met. I've lived in NYC and Brooklyn. People can be rude in customer service there. CAVA Franklin takes the cake. Not only are they rude, but spiteful. The last time I went, the guy creating the bowl was seemingly on drugs and being very antagonistic with me and then the guy on the register rang me up for extra things and laughed about it when I caught him doing it. Love the food, but it's not worth going for us anymore. read more

We don't have Cava in MI so when I saw one near my hotel I decided to give them a try. I ordered the chicken and rice bowl which has chicken, arugula, rice , hummus, taziki, tomatoes, and greek vinaigrette. Service was fast and friendly and reminds me of a Mediterranean version of chipotle. I took my food back to my room and was pleasantly surprised at how flavorful every layer was. read more

I have been a fan of Cava since 2018 living in NYC. I have been all over the united states and my one tried and true go to place for delicious food is Cava. I just wish there was one closer to where I live now in Columbia TN. However, it was my birthday on 3/12 and I had errands in Franklin. I had gotten a gift card over a yr ago and still had money on it. So I stopped at this location. Cava's app has recently changed and non of the staff or myself could figure out how to USE my remaining money on card. There was a guy behind me so I said, no worries I will just pay and the Mgr came over typed something in the register and gifted me my meal. That was incredible unexpected and kind. I asked her once more before I left if she knew how to get the money off and she didn't but I just wanted to say thank you. You made my day and didn't even know it was my bday! I still need to know HOW to use the remaining money if Cava can reach out but "Shay" and the rest of the staff were awesome and food is always consistently delicious no matter where I am at. (I think Shay was the mgrs name, sorry if it was not. ) Thank you again! read more

M'eh. $11 for a half-full bowl of what was mostly plant matter with a modicum of chicken that strangely tasted like beef. The two people who "assembled" the bowl seemed like they wanted to anything other than what they were doing at the moment. No forks...had ask. No ice for drinks...never got any. Another generic, bland, souless experience. Maybe it's me, or maybe it's them. But I won't be back to figure it out. read more

These clowns didn't understand that they are serving customers Imagine a Chipotle where they didn't ask you if you wanted white rice or brown rice, pinto beans or black beans... they just piled stuff into a bowl to get you out of there as quickly as possible. Oh wait. They took their sweet time not getting you out of there because they were too busy playing f&€€ f&€€ Love CAVA but these guys suck store # 3058 in Franklin TN thumbs down read more

Worst CAVA location ever! Went in 12/29/25 during the early evening shift. Ordered a bowl & the 1st station server didn't ask if I wanted Pita bread. In fact he never asked any of the customers after me either. Tongs were not used to serve the salad - rather just gloved hands. (Which is not CAVA's standard health protocol.) The bowl was sitting on the counter awhile getting cold - the 2nd station server finally slopped the food into the bowl including mashing the avocado (supposed to be sliced) & then squirted the red sauce all over the place including onto the cashier. (That part was actually amusing!) At this point I asked for some Pita bread - which was repeated back to me, but never retrieved. The majority Middle Eastern staff may have English as their 2nd language, but that's not an excuse to treat the customers as sloppy as the food service. The counter & tables are not clean either. I will absolutely not be back to this location again. read more

We received excellent customer service! Shoutout to Abram--he was kind to my kiddos and very helpful.

The guys are friendly and helpful! Jovannah and Yousef... Sometimes places like these can be dead but they were nice and helpfu ! Thanks Broskis read more

Truly a bad experience tonight. Employees were rude, demanding and rushing me and my mother through every step of building our bowls- meanwhile, there was no one else in the store. I understand wanting to provide quick service, but at the sacrifice of your customers is unnecessary. They also spilled half of my bowl due to said rushing, then failed to replenish what was lost from their mistake. I hope this was just an off night for the team because I loved this location, but after tonight I'm not sure I will be back. read more
