So good! I brought my 92 year old mother here for dinner on a Sunday afternoon. It's small with a…read morefew 4 low tops, a few 2 high tops and a 4 high top. The kitchen is open. It looks like they do quite a bit of take out. We were sat immediately and our waitress was very helpful. We got the small basilico salad and spaghetti with meat sauce. Everything was delicious. The sizes were recommended and they were huge and more than enough!! I love the build your own pasta so you literally pick your pasta, sauce, protein and veggies. It's like a family style and I would love to go with a group and we all share. They also have a happy hour. I will definitely be back. Now....my 92 year old mothers complaints. 1. It was too cold. We were going to move but they had a big fan blowing and they turned it away from her. Now take that with a grain of salt because the heat in her room is set to 76 and it's April. 2. It was too loud. Since the kitchen is open you can hear the cooks doing cook things. She was irritated by the noises coming from the kitchen but once again....grain of salt. The volume on her TV is at 80 and she can't hear it but can hear the kitchen noises. 3. The seat was too hard. Once again....grain of salt. She is skin and bones but I will bring her something to sit on next time. She actually did enjoy the food but I got the leftovers. :) We will be back.

I chose my own and went with power greens and rice, love that you can choose up to 10 toppings, 2 sauces, and your protein. Lots and lots of options. Food was fresh, toppings were good quality and generous and I feel like it was moderately healthy due to the toppings I chose (veggies mostly) and sauce on the side.

Since it was around dinner time, there was a line but it moved pretty fast. By the time I got to the front, they were out of their Super Greens so I kindly requested for the Greens and they went to the back to refill it. My "go-to" order are the Super Greens with a small scoop of the Basmati Rice. I like the Roasted Eggplant, Crazy Feta and the Harissa dips. I order two scoops of Chicken and the Sweet Potatoes (when available) with Corn, Cucumbers, Tomatoes and an abundance of Feta crumbled on top. I then top it with the Garlic, Harrisa and Shkug sauce with extra sauce on the side. I absolutely love it! It's the perfect combination of flavors. I ordered a drink as well and I feel like the prices definitely increased because my order was almost $29, which I thought was pretty pricey. Overall, the service was great, the dining area was very clean and the bowl was phenomenal. I will definitely be returning when I crave Cava again.

They've made some updates since my last review. I noticed they swapped out the bar stools for what seem to be a bit more accommodating in style. They added cushion to the church benches, although they are a bit "grippy". They updated the other bar and also the outside area. I believe they have a cornhole section and from what I could tell, an area that could be really fun during the warmer months. The overall vibe is so quirky, cool, different, and I just love how it's decorated. The other locations have the same sort of intrigue but in much different ways. I still love the OG Bay Local and probably need to visit there again to be reminded of why we fell in love in the first place, but the location on General Booth... hard to beat, especially being so close. Another positive is the food quantity, quality, and price for what you are getting. Sure, almost every food establishment had to raise their price, but Bay Local seem to be very reasonable, ESPECIALLY for what you get. I know several other places that have good food, but you are paying several dollars more for what Bay Local offers that is similar (in some cases) but not slacking on portion control and quality. That is huge! Bay Local is a "well-oiled machine" with management, staff, and operations (not their first rodeo). The staff are attentive, friendly, fast in service, including fixing anything that may not have been correct, and still hold the quality of what they offer. Congrats to a great establishment, and it will remain on the top slots of our brunch list!

They were busy but hustling, not a long wait at all even though it was a Sunday during prime time. The waitresses were attentive & fast paced. Everyone worked as a team so no one was forgotten which was great. 10/10 recommend & I cannot wait to go back. This location does have tight parking and because the location is a little small, accommodating large groups seemed to be possible but with a wait & a little tricky. Best bet would be to call ahead for groups larger than 4 & be patient while waiting. Bar area is first come first serve (there's 2 bar locations, one central dining and one small one in the back of house). Come in hungry & ready to be kind to wait staff as they are totally kicking butt at their service game! :)

When we got there, at lunchtime on a weekday, they were packed, but there were a few seats open at a hightop, which we took. Service was great and attentive, as well as helpful as she offered great suggestions and explained how various dishes were made. I tried a cup of their red bean and ham soup (it was the soup du jour) as well as their open face chicken salad sandwich and both were very good. They were both made fresh, in-house with fresh ingredients. Flavors were great too. I really liked the touch of having Dijon mustard on the chicken salad sandwich. There were so many great things on the menu that I would definitely return and try more!

I'm a chef myself and travel to different restaurants regularly, so I try to be understanding. That said, the service we experienced yesterday at Stock Pot was unfortunately some of the worst I've had in quite a while. We sat outside, and it honestly felt like we were being deliberately ignored. The restaurant wasn't busy, yet we had to wait long stretches just to get basic things. At one point near the end of our meal, we asked for a box and our check. Instead of bringing it over, the waitresses stood around talking with other waitresses, while we continued to wait. After sitting there for quite a while, we eventually had to ask for the check and box, a second time. Throughout the meal the service was inconsistent. We had three different waitresses checking on us, but were left to sit for about 30 minutes alone at one point, and it took almost 20 to have our order taken, once we ordered, we had to request our appetizer again, after waiting another 20 or so minutes. Upon asking, again, we found out they were out of part of the appetizer we ordered. After that it came out quick. The food, however, was excellent and definitely the highlight of the experience. That's why this review is disappointing to write -- the kitchen is clearly doing a great job. I just hope the service side improves, because it didn't match the quality of the food.

Over all experience was a flop.

Great mgmt - had an issue & Tom the manager was so kind & helped me with everything today. I've only ordered from the menu (not the frozen foods yet), & so far almost everything I've gotten has been absolutely delicious: - Bowls that you build with ingredients you like that have an amazing Char grilled flavor: * Carb - I like the base of potatoes * Protein - Love their chargrilled shrimp * Veggies - I get mushrooms, zucchini, & asparagus * Sauce: Love the sweet chili sauce - not too spicy. - Turkey burger: Very very good and has such a good flavor with that chargrilled taste. - Sweet potato fries: The flavor is good, but they I wish they were a little bit more crisper. Still recommend tho! - Mac & cheese: Not my fave as noodles were gummy & not much sauce, but could be because it's more healthy, ha ha. - Turkey burnt ends Cuban sandwich is amazing. I got the chipotle ranch on the side, so good. The turkey has great flavor & super moist, & the flatbread is soft and fluffy! - Milk Chocolate Buckeyes in the open frig (rt of register) are to die for! They're the best thing to have when you're craving something sweet, esp if you are a big peanut butter fan like I am. The staff is always helpful & nice, & mgmt really cares about us customers! Highly recommend!

Meals are not prepared on site; they are frozen and shipped from NC. Also when you order the meal plan ahead of time, the meals are not necessarily labeled! It was hard to remember what i had ordered looking through the frozen meals. Finally when i signed up, I was offered an introductory discount, and when i applied it, this was never honored. i mentioned it to the Manager/Franchisee, and every time i brought it up, he always had another excuse why the system would not let him apply it.
