First-timer to CAVA and it was delicious! Made my own Greens & Grains bowl with: * Choose 1 greens: power greens * Choose 1 grain: black lentils * Choose up to 3 dips + sauces: roasted eggplant, tzatziki, and red pepper hummus * Choose 1-2 mains: falafels (delicious!) * As many toppings: fiery broccoli, fire-roasted corn, pickled onions, salt-brined pickles, tomato + cucumber, and sumac slaw * Choose up to 2 dressings: balsamic date vinaigrette (a little sweeter than a standard vinaigrette, but not too sweet) Smaller portions of each item, but the final result was delicious and I didn't feel overly stuffed. Just right. The Tangerine Aleppo drink was refreshing with a tiny peppery kick. It was busy for dinner on Friday and it seems people were waiting a bit for their to-go orders but they did a good job of keeping the line inside moving. We were making 3 different bowls and there was a misunderstanding on the main. They added steak to the wrong bowl and remade it for me which is very much appreciated. A good number of tables inside that could work for small or bigger groups. There was also a small patio with outside seating, read more

I thought this was all very tasty. My only issue was that portions and prices are both a bit high. I wish they had a 'senior' meal. I got a basic bowl and it was literally two full meals for me, and I had just finished playing tennis for 2 hours and was hungry! It's a great way to get quick and tasty Mediterranean food. It's a good concept, and I was pleased they had suggested or curated dishes--- sometimes it is hard to know how to COMBINE all the different meats/sauces/veggies, etc. So that was nice. For a casual fast-place, its very tasty...but give me a senior meal! read more

My wife and I decided to try Cava for lunch. We were greeted as soon as we entered and there were several diners there but not crowded. The setup reminded me of Chipotle with you picking your base, protein, toppings and any sauces. We both decided to have bowls and pitas. She had power greens, potatoes, chicken, two different types of hummus, and some delicious toppings. She loves everything about Cava and cannot wait to go back. I had spinach, braised lamb, chicken, hummus, toppings and a garlic sauce. It was good and very tasty. Everything was fresh and lots of flavor. She tried different flavors of drink and liked those. The drinks did not appeal to me. We will definitely be back soon read more

I love the food. I am new to good type of cuisine and have enjoyed having something different

Finally got to try this place! Wanted to see what the hype was about. I ordered the Harissa Avocado chicken bowl while my sister got the chicken and rice bowl. A lot of food! And it felt healthy ish, not greasy. You get all your macros. Not too much carb either. So good! A bit pricey but I'm guessing you're paying for freshness and quality. We also tried the new garlic pita chips. A bit salty but it had a good flavor on it. Ordering is quick and easy. I didn't make any changes to my bowl from what was indicated on the menu. Staff were really nice and friendly. They didn't seem stressed by the lunch rush. Bathrooms were clean. Parking was easy. Lots of spots. read more

CAVA I love you. You were refreshing and delicious and everything I needed in that moment. We were on our way home from a road trip and had reached our limit of BBQ and fried chicken. All I wanted was some veggies and grilled chicken and CAVA was the answer. We came in so tired late one night and still had hours to go on the road and man this was the oasis in the desert. The staff was busy and slightly overwhelmed but I was just fine waiting because I knew I was about to get a fluffy pita wrapped around some delicious chicken, romaine lettuce, cucumber, tomato, hummus and garlic dressing. Never ever has there been more grateful customers. Thank you CAVA! read more

I ordered online, no problem. The store could be kept much cleaner outside, garbage needed to be swept. The greek bowls was ready ontime. Dressing was to be on side. It was on the salad which was soaked and soggy. They were excellent in the past, I wanted a salad with fresh greens not a wet mess. I hope they improve. read more

First time trying cava and it was very good! Decided to build my own bowl with the super greens and white rice, the red pepper hummus, harissa chicken, tomato's with onion, broccoli and corn with hot harissa vinaigrette on the side. Will be going back soon to try new things. Gluten free friendly too! Service was fast and building was well kept. Great quick healthy meal spot. read more

Restrooms have no water employees not washing hands and food at taco bell taste better service sucks too

I ordered chicken and rice bowl on Uber Eats. My order came with steak and chicken. The rest was pretty good.

Love cava!! I made my own bowl. I would say it's comparable to sweetgreen, or like a very healthy chipotle with a lot more variety of ingredients. I would for sure come back :) read more

I was in Knoxville for a meeting and one of my coworkers suggested this place for lunch. I am glad they did because this place is delicious. I have been to plenty of bowl places but Cava had a different approach to the bowl then I have experienced before. I decided to build my own bowl, I got half lettuce half black lentils as my base. I had hummus, tzatziki and babagonush as my dips. The honey harissa chicken was so tasty. I topped it off with tons of fresh toppings and garlic sauce. Everything was delicious and the portion size was generous. I wish we had one of these in my town but if I come across another in my travels I will definitely stop in! read more

On Sunday August 17th I did an online order that my wife picked up for us after her 13 hour shift at the hospital. She had a rough end to the shift and some Cava is what we needed. Unfortunately they got the order wrong. Added an item that was not requested and forgot to put both dips in the bowl. I checked the receipt and confirmed our order was completely wrong. I received an email asking for feedback so instead of doing a review I just gave them feedback on our experience. The only response I got back was that they were sorry and would get it right next time. No offer to try and make it better. We just spent $30 to get the wrong order and all we get is a sorry. We will go somewhere next time if that is actually how you are going to treat loyal customers when you make a mistake. read more

Love the concept, build your own bowl, with Mediterranean ingredients. The food is healthy, tasty and reasonably priced. This location had fast service. read more

The people were so kind and patient when I was ordering. The food was amazing. The vibe was nice it was very chill and calm.

The reviews are right, this place is really good, The harissa avocado bowl is amazing. To go online order was ready and waiting. The only negative I would note is that by 7-7:30, the place is looking pretty used and abused. Ice everywhere, spilled drinks, forks running low, etc. I'll probably be back tomorrow. read more

Food was delicious and the outstanding service by our waiter (Archie) made the whole experience special. Will definitely be back.

This restaurant is DELICIOUS!! Fresh build your own PITA'S and friendly service!!! We loved it and will be back! read more

First time visit and doing weight watchers and GF I found many options to get a delicious meal.

This is one of my go to spots for healthy food. I get the spicy chicken greens and grain bowl it's delicious. Also they have flavored lemonades that are so refreshing. They also provide excellent service. I wish the location was closer to my house I would eat there more. read more

Great steak pita and the new pita chips were awesome. Staff gave great suggestions and we will be back soon.

Walking into Cava, it is pretty minimal of a dining space. However they do offer patio seating which is shaded in the evenings! The staff were very friendly and patient while I worked through the menu. I ordered a harissa avocado bowl, a side order of pita chips with crazy feta dip, and a small drink which came out to about $20. The bowl was really good and had a little bit of heat to it. The pita chips are basically cut up pitas that are deep fried and seasoned. I thought these were a bit greasy and salty for my taste, but the crazy feta dip was good. I split this with another person and we both felt satiated from a half portion. Cava offers a variety of beverages including some in store made juices. I recommend the blueberry lavender, it is my favorite! Light and refreshing! The strawberry citrus is also good. As a casual dining place/fast food it does feel pretty healthy, but a little pricey. Given how flavorful and fresh the bowls are, I will be back here again. read more

This is my favorite fast food place. Above Chick-fil-A tbh. My go to meal for when I don't want to cook or don't have time during the week. I could eat it everyday if I could it's that delicious. Always fresh foods! Oh, and their garlic sauce is amazing!! read more

As a vegetarian living in Knoxville, I was so happy to have a vegetarian friendly lunch spot. However, several times my order has been wrong and has included beef/chicken. The team has been nice enough to correct it multiple times but I'm tired of the time and effort to call and get a new order delivered that it's not worth the hassle. Sorry, CAVA... maybe I can try again in a year. read more

We had some great food and service here. The girls gave us great suggestions and we will be back soon.

So I tried cava yesterday. This location used to house zoes on Bearden hill. Not a bad place but, seemed unfinished. Very minimal decoration as if they had just opened and weren't sure what to decorate with. This is set up like a deli. You order and the person behind the counter assembles your food then rings it up. The food is a little like tomato head but with more of a Mediterranean vibe. I had the lentil avocado bowl. Lots of good stuff in there. This is a good place for vegetarians and possibly vegans. They also have the usual protein of chicken, beef, etc. Most of their menu is pita wraps and bowls. read more

The buzz around Cava finally making its way to Knoxville created a level of excitement in me that I could hardly contain. I had only eaten it once before, but knew it was a favorite. I live for a high quality fast casual eatery. When you walk in, you are met with a clean and bright atmosphere. The food is in spaces where it is well lit so you see exactly how fresh it is. There are quite literally, hundreds on combinations you could choose, but it is clearly labeled with instructions to make it easy. I went with a build your own option. It was filled with half supergreens and half rice, honey chicken, and roasted veggies (sweet potato, bussels, cauliflower, and something green). I then managed to top it off with almost every single tipping they offer. I just couldn't help myself. The garlic sauce at the end is so smooth and scrumptious. It was clear they are newly opened and are training employees, but everyone was so friendly and helpful. I will be stopping in here regularly! read more
