Salad with half spicy and half regular chicken. All the toppings and tahini dressing. Unsweet tea with a bit of lemonade for flavor.

I absolutely love CAVA, especially this location. I have been to one in Charlottesville and one in NC. The staff here is friendly and this location is central to the errands I need to run in Fredericksburg. If only there was one Stafford... I like that I can make my bowl as healthy as I want. The same with beverages.

This is a Greens + Grains Bowl with half chicken/ half steak, cucumbers, tomato, cucumber and corn, yogurt dressing, Avocado and Crazy Feta

**5-Star CAVA Review** Absolutely obsessed with CAVA! This bowl is everything I want in a meal, it's fresh, flavorful, and completely satisfying. You can see the quality in every bite, from the crisp romaine and juicy tomatoes to the perfectly seasoned grilled meat and creamy dollop of avocado. The mix of cucumbers, corn, feta, and that dreamy tzatziki sauce ties it all together in the best way. I had this while on the go, and it still tasted amazing, fresh and filling without feeling heavy. Whether you're health-conscious or just love bold Mediterranean flavors, CAVA never disappoints. Highly recommend for a delicious, customizable, and wholesome meal!

I have been looking forward to trying this place since I knew I was coming out here for a trip. I got half and half lamb and chicken but only got lamb unfortunately. The lamb was way too sweet for my liking. But I LOVED the garlic dip and the pita chips. I wished the side pita was a bit bigger. The toppings were okay but in a weird ratio and the lettuce was a little wilted. I ordered via Uber so not sure on service or ambiance of the restaurant. I will definitely give it another chance the next time I can.

Ugh, I LOVE this place. I've been for breakfast, brunch, and happy hour, and I've been blownnn away every time. It's the kind of spot I look forward to going to. Ambiance: It's such a cute, intentional space. Foode is in an old bank, so there's indoor and outdoor seating, and you can even sit in the vault. It feels special without feeling stuffy. Service: Phenomenal. Every visit, the team made us feel welcome and taken care of. Food: The chefs know what they are DOINGG. The savory ham and cheese biscuits at brunch were phenomenal. The breakfast bowl with roasted potatoes was excellent too. The flavors are hard to describe, and the combinations are so unique and mind-blowing that I'm still thinking about them after I leave. I believe they rotate the menu often, so I'll keep coming back to see what's new. One wish: The happy hour menu is pretty small. If it's going to stay that size, I'd love for the happy hour window to be shorter. Otherwise, a bigger menu would be perfect.

While Firebirds is a chain, the food, service and dining experience are all very good and this…read morelocation is no exception. For a steakhouse, the prices are relatively reasonable but by nature it is a bit more expensive than average. The service has been consistently excellent and the staff are friendly. There is a nice bar and some seating in the bar area as well. In the cooler weather the bar area seating enjoys a well placed fireplace. I recommend the double black diamond martini. The steaks, chicken and salmon dishes I have had I enjoyed. I think the NY strip is my favorite and I like to get the port mushrooms and a baked potato as the sides. I tried the Tomahawk pork chop recently and it was delicious and a generous amount of food. Most steak places also know how to properly cook fish and the Salmon is always very good here. The three course meal deal is a good value if you are hungry and the dessert is a full size. My one complaint is that the last two visits, the air conditioning did not seem to be working properly and the restaurant seemed a bit uncomfortable. Please fix your HVAC!

Came here on a Friday night with a group of friends. It was relatively busy, but definitely not…read moreslammed. First thing we noticed was how incredibly hot it was inside. It genuinely felt like there were some kind of air-conditioning issues happening, which already made sitting through dinner uncomfortable. Unfortunately, the service didn't make the experience any better. Our server, Diego, seemed annoyed from the very beginning. Maybe he was overworked or having a rough night, but he came across as unfriendly and irritated by fairly normal questions. We ordered a good variety for the table, including the deviled eggs, ranch onion rings, meatloaf, penne with steak, and chimichurri shrimp with mashed potatoes. When I asked whether the quinoa that came with a possible dish I was looking at, could be substituted for something else, Diego responded that it was "good for me" and that I should get it. That wasn't what I asked, and the response felt unnecessarily snarky. Then there was the margarita. Why are we putting regular table salt on the rim of a margarita? It may sound like a small detail, but at this price point and level of restaurant, the details matter. It just felt sloppy. The biggest issue, however, was my chimichurri shrimp. After cutting into one, I realized it was raw. Not slightly underdone. Raw. Eventually Diego came back around and I let him know. He took the plate away, but it took roughly another 30 minutes for the replacement shrimp to arrive. By that point, every single person I was dining with had finished their meal. I essentially sat there while my friends ate and then received my food after dinner was already over. What shocked me even more was that the meal wasn't comped. There was no meaningful attempt to make the situation right despite serving raw seafood and then taking another half hour to replace it. Mistakes happen in restaurants. Kitchens get backed up, servers have bad nights, and food occasionally needs to be remade. What separates a good restaurant from a disappointing one is how those mistakes are handled. Serving raw shrimp, leaving a guest without their meal while the rest of the table finishes, and then charging full price as though nothing happened is not good hospitality. Between the uncomfortable heat, dismissive service, questionable attention to detail, raw food, and the way the situation was ultimately handled, this completely put a damper on what was supposed to be a fun Friday night out with friends. Unfortunately, this one missed the mark in too many ways for me to overlook.

So, my friend and I decided to share a veggie omelet & a black bean & corn veggie burger. Both were excellent, though the burger was our fave. The burger had such a flavorful chipotle mayo (not spicy); it really complimented the blend of corn and black beans with some guac. Yum! The omelet was quite good, too. The incredible selection of veggies were well-cooked and plentiful - asparagus, red pepper, squash, zucchini, red onion, all tucked into fluffy eggs topped with melted provolone. Yum! We'll definitely be back!
