The food at Cava is fresh and tasty but I was in today, Sunday, and there were almost no toppings available. I don't know how a restaurant runs out of food at 12:30 on a Sunday. read more

This was my first time trying cava, went here with my fiancé and my soon to be father-in-law. The rice bowl is great shared it with my fiancé and I have a pretty big appetite so that just shows how big the bowl is. Later, I went back the same week to get another rice bowl. The vibe is great inside with nice people around. read more

CAVA - Harissa Chicken Bowl - Salad Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Liked the place and healthy food. I got two bowls and pita, everything was delicious! Just hope salads are fresh, as they are hidden on the wall behind. Why i have those thoughts? Lettuce, at the last step of filling my bowl, didn't look like fresh. I liked juice options!!! My fav is blueberry lavender: fresh and not too sweet! It wasn't busy while I was there, but people keep coming for takeout. Staff was patient, as it was my first time at Cava and I was a bit slow. Plenty of parking nearby. read more

It's like chipotle, but a bit healthier and/or with different options. Same concept for ordering though and restaurant layout is similar as well. Service was excellent, I sampled several things that I hadn't tried before. The food was fresh and delicious, with plentiful portions. I've been craving it ever since I went for lunch last week! read more

Great experience at Cava!!! Fresh and yummy food. Thanks KD for the best service. Especially love the tangerine lemonade, it's a must try!

Quick, easy, with healthy options. Two make your own bowls: 1 Romaine and brown rice with chicken, pickled onions, corn, cucumbers, avocado, feta as well as red pepper hummus, tzatziki , whiipped feta. Dressings: Creamy garlic and lemon. 1 Romaine and balsmati rice with chicken, cucumber/tomato mixture, cucumbers, corn, feta, avocado as well as traditional hummus, eggplant, and tzatziki. Dressings: Lemon and dill. Portions are huge- lots of protein. Flavors are great, chicken tender. Also have to acknowledge he staff- super helpful, upbeat, and made great recommendations. Cashier was very nice, giving me dressing recommendations to try next time as well. Only feedback I would share would be to have somewhere in the receipt to add a tip if we want. I didn't have cash on me and I would have liked to tip them for their customer service. read more

My coworkers and I ordered from here today for the first time ever. I've heard so many great things about cava and I was not let down! I had the Mediterranean wrap with chicken, pickled cucumbers, feta, hummus, tomato and it was chefs kiss. I wish it was closer to my house, and I will definitely be ordering again! read more

I have been to this location a few times and service is hit or miss. The bowls, however, are consistently delicious. I was surprised to see a long line at dinner time, since I usually think of Cava as a lunch spot. It's always busy here! Recently I had a great experience here and enjoyed eating my lunch on their patio on a sunny day. I always get a big bowl with splendid greens, pita on the side, eggplant and crazy feta dips, half falafel, half veggies, and literally all of the toppings. The herb tahini dressing is my favorite after trying a few of the options. They also have great unsweetened tea and other drinks. I like that this location is near the Town Center and has an easy parking lot out front. I'll be back! read more

This is my 2nd review of Cava. My wife and I stopped by the location at the Town Center for dinner. She had already gotten Cava for lunch that day delivered, so she wasn't real hungry and just got a side of their Harissa Pita Chips and some Harissa dip and a drink. I got a build your own bowl, also a side of the Harissa Pita chips and a drink. This time for the protein I got a half and half of lamb meatballs and Falafel. (I think it was two of each total). I think that's one of the things I don't think is great, and that is their falafel. They should have a crunchy fried exterior and I should be able to taste the herbal blend inside, and these didn't have either. They were mushy, and I actually got confused with which ones were the lamb meatballs and which were the falafel. That seems strange, they should taste completely different. Other than that, I got some Harissa sauce, and two dressings, one of which also had Harissa in it. I must say, the spiciness was making me sweat, though it really didn't feel that spicy in my mouth. Overall, I like Cava. But I also don't hold it to a very high standard compared to an actual middle eastern restaurant, where I can actually get "real" falafel, and higher quality proteins, etc. Cava has essentially "subway'd" the cuisine, just as Chipotle/Moe's/Qdoba have done with TexMex, and then charge you a lot for it. It's really about convenience and speed over high quality. I know people like these chains. They have their place, I suppose. I just have a mindset of not confusing it as authentic and made with love. Does it taste bad? No. I don't dislike it. I just have no illusions about what I'm eating. They have the weirdest black lentils I've seen. They're so small. I got those instead of rice again, to avoid af few carbs. Oddly, I heard one of the workers explaining to a new customer ahead of me about the Saffron rice has the most expensive spice in the world (the Saffron). But when I looked at it, it didn't have even the slightest tinge of yellow/orange color to it, which I'd expect to see, so I guess they use so little of it that it's not even detectable. I saw a new restaurant on the news recently up north starting to franchise out Korean food. It's the same format, though. I'm just not sure as a society we're going in the right direction with these culture's foods. I'm all about exposing people to other culture's food but commercializing it to this degree I don't feel is doing them justice. The service was fine, but this isn't tableside service, though one of people preparing the food along the assembly line didn't speak English very well, so we had to clarify certain things a few times. The ambiance reminds me of these other restaurants I mentioned, which I forgot to add Blaze Pizza to that list. We paid after tip around $30. Keep in mind that was ONE bowl, two drinks and two orders of pita. Plus, we paid an upcharge for a scoop of one of the dips. I think if you go beyond two dips they start charging. That's pretty expensive in my opinion for the type of food you're getting, considering most of it is vegetables, dips, and small portions of proteins. When they portion out the proteins, they are not generous, just like Chipotle. Is it better than going to Mc D's and paying at least that much for clown food; yes. The more these chains grow, the more it makes me wonder how our fast casual dining experience is changing, and if it's for the better, especially for how much they are charging. If you like a particular cuisine from this type of exposure, go seek out a good mom and pop restaurant and support them, if you have a good experience there. read more

I love Cava and was so happy with my recent visit here. Food was fantastic. Service was excellent. My bowl was very filling and healthy. The pita chips are my favorite!!! Team menders were all very friendly read more

Ate here on my lunch today and was really impressed! The staff were all very friendly and polite, and the food looked delicious. I got the new chicken shawarma bowl and it was delicious! Probably my new favorite meal! Definitely will be back for this again read more

Steak tasted and looked like a tire, they were out of ice and over half of their drinks. Everyone who works here is incompetent and has no customer service skills. It was also a million degrees in there. My second time in there and it was just as bad as the first. Such a shame because normally I love cava. Not sure how this location stays in business... read more

Recently diagnosed with gluten allergy so visiting Jacksonville I was a bit worried about eating out. The person helping me order was great and the website was super helpful. Ordered a chicken bowl made with rice. Love the build your own bowls. The chicken I got was spicy ask first if you cannot handle spicy HOT. It was a great meal and I have a hard time with overly spicy foods but couldn't stop eating my bowl. My drink was a blueberry jasmine juice which was also delicious. I will return again while visiting and hopefully my area will get one soon. read more

Food was delicious & servers were helpful. Was my first time but will definitely be back!

Honestly this was my first time there. I'm just not over in that area often and especially during the lunch rush. I get that that's what it was, but I felt like I was being rushed. The lady after me said it was her first time there too and asked for a moment, I chimed in that I completely felt her *samsies!* Like, y'all listening fast, moving fast, I'm trying to add more dang, let me catch up. Food was good, I like the options, just kinda wish I had more than .234 secs to think about them I felt very healthy with my bowl and juice, The End read more

It appears CAVA has pivoted to quantity over quality. They are giving out less grains. Their chicken is often over cooked with smaller portions. Pita bread thinner like eating cardboard!​ read more

venicia she was amazing very kind and uplifting, food was amazing couldn't ask for anything more

Delicious, fresh, healthy food. you choose what goes in your bowl or you can choose one of their signature bowls. So good!

amazing!! love the food and great service and environment thank you for a yummy healthy lunch!!

I love this location! It's always very clean inside and they always have all of the options I'm looking for. My favorite part about cava in general is that I really know what's in my food. The first time I went, I had to eat, both gluten-free and dairy free. I was able to enjoy creamy sauces without any added dairy, and that is something special. Now I am back on dairy but still gluten-free and everything is labeled to make it easy and accessible for me. It's a great quick lunch spot, and one bowl will last me for two meals! Also, you should always treat yourself to the tea/juices. They're worth it! read more

Love this cava location! Whole crew is very kind and does a great job in a fast paced environment .

Went in to order for my girlfriend, and the service was just overall bad and they got the recipe wrong. The highlight of my trip was when I asked for crazy feta and pita chips, i was pretty rudely told that crazy feta was "over there" which i understand the line of things, but no grace at all? When i started ordering I said that I was ordering for someone else and wasn't sure of where everything was in line. Even better is that when I asked if I could still get my pita chips, she moved my bowl and then started on the next customers. no pita chips for me i guess. paid 15 bucks for a bad mood and disappointed girlfriend read more

I decided to give Cava a try today after driving past the location a few days ago. The concept reminded me of one of my favorite restaurants that sadly closed its doors but, this will definitely fill that void. Think a chipotle assembly like line but make it Mediterranean, healthy, and fresh! I stopped in for a late lunch and was immediately greeted as I walked through the door. There was only a handful of other patrons inside and I was fortunate enough to be the only one in line. I got my meal to go today but, there are plenty of indoor or outdoor seating options available. You can build your own pita or bowl (with a base of salad, grain, or greens + grains). If you're indecisive or not sure what to try there are preselected menu options to choose from as well! I ended up building my own grains + greens bowl; half super greens and half saffron basmati rice as my base. I chose tzatziki, crazy feta, and hummus as my dips + spreads. For my protein, I chose half grilled chicken and half roasted vegetables. Topped it off with tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, feta and lentil tabbouleh with yogurt dill drizzled on top. Be ready to make some tough decisions as everything looks tempting to try! Every ingredient tasted fresh and delicious. The "crazy feta" is a mix of jalapeños and feta crumbles and gave my meal the perfect amount of kick. The portion sizes are large enough that I ended up having some leftovers for later. The drink selections are vast, including the usual fountain drink options and enticing juices and teas are made in-house daily. I went with a safe choice of sweet tea today but, I'll definitely make it a point to get around to trying them all over time. The only complaint I have is that their website states that a side of pita is included with any bowl. I'm not sure if you have to ask for it but, it wasn't offered to me. I'll make sure on my next visit to ask for my side of pita bread. They also offer a loyalty program where you can earn points to later redeem for free food. You just present the QR code from the app at the register before you pay. I didn't realize this until later and reached out to their customer service to see if I could earn points for my purchase. They responded and the points were in my account in less than 30 minutes! If you're looking for a healthy, fresh & delicious food option, look no further. I can definitely see myself becoming a regular customer in the near future! read more

First time trying Cava and it was a beautiful experience. I'm a huge fan of restaurants like Bolay, and Cava is like the Mediterranean version of Bolay or Chipotle. I love how there is a complementary pita provided even when ordering the bowl option, and the almost unlimited toppings that you can choose. I ordered the sweet and spicy chicken bowl, and it was delicious. Definitely will be coming back here. read more

Every time I order online I am waiting 10-15 minutes after the order pick up time for my meal. what is the point of online ordering and waiting around when you are supposed to have your food by a certain time. today there was about 10 other people clustering around the to go stand also waiting for their over due orders to come out. read more

If you are looking for quick, easy, affordable, AND healthy food, look no further. Y'ALL THIS IS IT! We went for lunch today and it was a light crowd at first, but it quickly grew to a longer line. Very much a Chipotle-style of ordering by selecting what you want in your pita, bowl, or salad going down the line. You can choose to do a salad or rice base, your protein, toppings, and dressing(s). Each of these has multiple offerings. And you can even do half and half for the base and protein! Oh and unlimited toppings! My bowl (see photo): base of super greens and "rightrice" / falafel and lentils for my protein / roasted veggies, pickled onions and cabbage, cucumbers, fried pita strips, corn / feta dressing and tzatziki If you don't feel up to making your own bowl like I did, they have their own selection of bowls you can choose from. They offer way more variety of fresh and roasted vegetables than any other place I have seen. For $10 and some change a bowl, this is a steal! read more

I got a pita plushie! It's adorable and I love it. The food was great as always. The strawberry citrus is my new favorite drink!

The black woman wouldn't help me with an order over the phone at the counter due to the fact she doesn't want to do the partake of reading anything off my phone screen (im hard of hearing) and a gentleman had to partake of her job since she's was being disrespectful and rude towards to me. My food is obviously wrong than what I have asked for. Thank you for the lovely customer service, will not order here again. read more

The food is always good and I used to go frequently because it was convenient but the problem is there is one dude there who always makes the SMALLEST bowls. Like I am not exaggerating I feel like I am actually getting scammed when he makes my bowls. Me and my girlfriend will legitimately drive by the front and see if he is in there- if he is we will go somewhere else. My roommate thought I was joking when I took him there the first time and insisted we still go even when I mentioned the dude on the line will fill the bowl half as much as everyone else (not an exaggeration). As we walked out, all my roommate had to say was "Holy s*** you were not kidding." We went back last week and saw he wasn't there so we decided to go, then he randomly walked out of the back so we walked out. I have literally never written a review due to a gripe with a single person and I know it seems ridiculous but me and my friends literally avoid the town center location now because we know there is a good chance we get ripped off. read more

My husband and I are obsessed with CAVA after trying it for the first time a few months ago. It's replaced Chipotle as our go to for a healthy, satisfying meal at a reasonable cost. He likes the spicy Harissa chicken bowl. My regular is the braised lamb bowl. Both are always fresh and delicious! read more

Always fast and fresh. Never had a bad experience. The stuff is always really nice and fast. Pretty noisy so not really an intimate setting but who cares. read more

customer service is slightly off. not clear about pricing for items. i felt rushed even though there was only one person that came in behind me. they didn't seem to reluctant to explain what the items were even though there is a list. you can't tell which food item is which by just looking at the list. this was my first time here and it wasn't too pleasant. they quickly told me to have a good day. i asked about a bag and they just pointed to the side where the bags were hanging over stacked. as soon as i grabbed 1 another 1 fell this happened 3 times. overall food is decent portions are precise and customer service is a miss. read more

One of those days, when everyone you hang out with are either working or in school. Hungry and in the mood for Mediterranean food. I decided to make the drive to the Town center. Glad I did, as I came across Cava. I ended up ordering a Greek salad bowl, with a side of pitta chips. It was what the doctor ordered. The meat on top of my salad was so juicy and tender and the chips were so crispy and crunchy. Just what I was looking for. Will definitely come back to try some of the other dishes. read more
