Absolutely love Cava! The food is always fresh, staff is busy, yet attentive. And it's always nice to either sit or grab to go. My go to order is a bowl with super greens, saffron rice, two eggplants & one harissa hummus scoop, grilled chicken, extra corn, extra broccoli, cabbage slaw, & pickled onions. And let's not forget a fresh order of pita chips...chef's kiss! Maybe I'll try something different one day, but for right now, this has my heart! read more

Customer Service Needs Work'. Food is good as always. When ordering, you feel rushed. I understand it's a busy area, but treat customers as you would like to be treated. The restaurant was not as clean, but it's due to the many people. read more

CAVA - Blueberry Lavender Drink - Salad Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I love stopping by this CAVA location for a quick and healthy meal whenever I'm in the area! When I stop in on a weeknight, I've never had to wait more than a few minutes to place my order. The team here is fast and friendly, and the food always looks and tastes fresh. As this location is practically on Vanderbilt's campus, you do have to pay for parking. However, I've always managed to find a street spot that's less than $2 for 15 minutes, which is plenty of time to run in and build your bowl. I switch up my order everytime, but recently I've been loving the new chicken shawarma. And of course, no bowl is complete without as much Crazy Feta dip as they'll give me. I'd love to see a CAVA location on the East side of town someday, although my wallet might not agree with me! read more

Cava always hits the spot. I love stopping by for a quick healthy meal. Service is usually quick. Its like a Mediterranean Chipotle. You make a bowl and pick your ingredients. Not too loud of a place to dine in. They are usually playing music. I recommend those to try Cava if you have never been. read more

CAVA - Salad Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Everything wrong, bad, or missing. I come to Cava all the time but this was my first Uber Eats order. When it arrived I tried my Strawberry Citrus drink and it was sour as in went bad sitting out. I've melted when it was only a 10 min order and just overall tasted not safe to drink. I payed for a full pita and only got 2 side pitas. Now my bowl...missing about every single topping. I got double dressing and pita crisps and that came on it but I am missing cucumber + tomato, persian cucumber, feta, pickled onion, and the avocado i payed extra for. Luckily Doordash was able to refund me in full. However considering much of Cava is mainly the toppings I am genuinely appalled since all the toppings are listed on the bag and receipt. If I forgot to add something I completrly understand but it's listed multiple places. I work in food service similar to Cava (Grain and Berry) and understand things get forgotten but not every. single. topping. I normally don't rate doordash orders either but this is crazy. I even emailed the company. read more

On 01/26/26 at approximately 4:42 PM, during a multi-day power outage and severe winter conditions, I waited in a long line at this CAVA location, one of the only places open, to purchase food for my family before relocating us to a hotel due to the cold. When I reached the register and attempted to order five bowls, all the same, the cashier, a black, slender man with a nose ring whose name badge read Tai, told me in a questioning and dismissive tone that I "couldn't order five bowls in line." There were no posted signs, no stated policy, and no prior indication that this was not allowed. He looked to another employee for validation, received none, yet continued to mutter under his breath and shake his head while preparing the order. He created a very uncomfortable and shaming experience on an already horrible day, given the emergency circumstances I was dealing with. I came to CAVA to simply feed my family. At the very least, I am requesting that management review this interaction, identify the correct employee who harassed me at that time, and take appropriate action, whether through additional training or disciplinary review, to ensure customers are treated with basic human respect, especially during emergencies. read more

I've been in this location a couple times before and found it good but expensive. But I ran in yesterday mid-afternoon to pick up a couple bowls for a busy weekend, and the experience was much different. There was no one behind me in line, though the girl in front of me waved me ahead- guess she was still deciding- and I told the (South American?) woman behind the counter I'd order a falafal and a custom bowl; she proceeded to fill both bowls exactly the same with rice, baked vegetables, etc without even looking at me or asking me what I wanted different in both. I didn't really mind so just let it pass. Then I told the counter girl she handed off to (Kohl? Kohty? couldn't quite see the nametag) one was falafal and the other just what I ask for: with really pretty bad grace she filled both, then asked "what toppings?" already grabbing and squirting toppings on. I stopped her, said, "no toppings please," and as she shoved everything to the register I heard her mutter something which was not very polite. I asked her no fewer than six times to repeat herself, and finally she looked up glaring and said, "next time if you don't want everything don't say everything!" I was completely nonplussed and pointed out that I'd asked for, "Everything that I ask for... I said that to you..." Not a good experience, I'm not planning on going back to pay $13 for bad attitudes and a bowl full of rice. read more

The service was good, but I can't speak much for the atmosphere, because I just came in to pick up a mobile order. However, the food was delicious. I got the Falafel Crunch, and I don't regret it. The best part about it is that I was able to customize my order online, and remove the feta, so the meal could be 100% vegan. read more

ordered on door dash, portion was half as much (or less) of what you would get if you ordered in person. would recommend going in person, not online. would like a refund or atleast half of what I paid. read more

This is my go to lunch spot, I come a couple times a month to take food back to the office. The food is always fresh, portion sizes are great, and it's pretty much always ready at the time they promise! It gets pretty busy at lunch, especially when Vanderbilt classes are in session there are so many students. So have some grace with the employees, and if you don't like a line order ahead! read more

CAVA - Salad Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I'm really struggling here between three and four stars as I've been to cava before in Dallas and I think the taste is excellent, but I was extremely disappointed on this visit as the portion size was half of what I've had ata different location. I ordered a base of the black lentils and fresh spinach, and it didn't even cover the bottom of the bowl. You add on the other ingredients as you can see from my picture it's still very lacking. Taste is there but for $14 I would expect more. read more

We came in here about 30 minutes before closing and they were so accommodating. Cameron and Chanel were super sweet and willing to assist with whatever we asked for. There was a gentleman trying to breakdown the drink station who patiently waited for us to get our drinks. Shout out to the night shift. Cleanliness is 5/5 all around from the dining area, drink station, and food serving counter. Listen get the pita chips. They have the right amount of crisp and season. If you're looking for a CAVA to visit, look no further. read more

This is the best Cava I've ever been to. You can tell that the staff truly enjoy their job and the manager is always there working the line with her employees. Even with a line out the door the employees move through the line quickly and with smiles. 10/10 service and 10/10 food. read more

This location is actually really great! You never know how a place will be when it is near a college campus but the food is fresh and flavorful. The portions are large and the staff is always friendly. I appreciate that it is a healthier option that is easily customizable. read more

Went on a Saturday and built my own bowl. Good customer service, but they were out of a few things. They are currently out of romaine so I got the basmati rice and greens with kale, cabbage, and broccoli stems. Not a good substitute. The regular grilled Harissa Chicken Bowlchicken was about out, so I got the harissa honey chicken instead. It was a little spicy and not much sweet. Not worth the upcharge. Eggplant dip and hummus are a must as well as the roasted white sweet potatoes. They were also out of crispy pita topping. Balsamic date vinaigrette and pickled onions add a good balance of sweetness. Don't skip the cucumber mint lime juice. That one was pretty sweet. The pineapple apple mint had all the flavors but wasn't sweet at all. read more

Food is great! Cava is one of my favorite fast casual spots. It is basically a Mediterranean version of Chipotle with build your own bowl and build your own pita options. You can also go half and half on the base and/or the protein which is perfect if you are indecisive like me. The location is super convenient since it is very close to Vanderbilt's campus and the hospital. There are also several other quick places to eat down the road in case the line is too long. Every time I walk by, Cava always seems very busy but the line moves fast. HOWEVER, I agree with many other Yelpers. The service is awful. All the workers seemed so unhappy to be there. I ordered my bowl online for pick up and when I asked the cashier for my side of pita she literally looked at me, rolled her eyes and then handed me a bag of pita without a word. Very rude! read more

First, I'd like to shout out Chanel for being an absolutely upstanding employee. Every time I walk into Cava, Chanel greets me with a smile. The ambiance is very relaxing I would love to study here. The food is impeccable and the portion sizes are WAY better than chipotle! read more

great service amazing crew great food will be back. Always great service. Highly recommended

Always have a good time here with the food!! Worth the food and price!! Service is good too! Ambience is fine!!

Paid $18 for a grain/salad bowl that had 6 pieces of diced harissa chicken in it, 6 pieces of diced cucumber. Bowl was not even halfway full. Insane prices for receiving not even a kid's meal portion of food. Not hygienic at all to throw our pieces of pita into the bottom of the brown bag, not wrapped or packaged at all. Had high hopes but not impressed at all. read more

CAVA - Cava Bowl - Salad Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I usually have pretty fond feelings towards Cava, but this one is incredibly disorganized. I ordered about 20 minutes ahead for two bowls on a Friday before 11am. When I arrived there, it was absolute madness and bedlam. I waited by the pickup area for over 30 minutes past the time they said my items would be ready, even taking a substitution in protein so I wouldn't miss my next meeting. While the management was kind and even gave us free drinks for the lengthy delay, it was not a great experience. With the free beverage, they forgot to reload a few of the sodas, causing a trickle of flavorless soda water into many people's cups. The staff was made aware, but they didn't fix the issue in the time I was there. It's definitely a management issue when people waiting in line are getting their bowls faster than those who ordered ahead for pickup. I was one of many frustrated customers, and I really wanted to like this location given its convenience to my workplace. Quite a disappointment. I would say try to order here not at peak hours on a Friday. read more

Food is pretty good. Their order management for to go orders is not worth waiting for the food. My food was ready 15 minutes after scheduled pickup time, which is the norm every time I pickup from here. read more

CAVA - Spicy lamb meatball wrap - Salad Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Please teach your staff how to read and fulfill online orders correctly!!! This is the second time I've ordered online for this location. The first time they messed things up, I thought it might be a fluke. The second time, not so much. What is so difficult about putting ingredients into a bowl the exact way it is spelled out for you on the order? These salads are way too expensive for staff to be consistently messing up the orders!! My order wasn't ready when I got there even though I arrived 20 minutes after the scheduled pick up time. Then they handed me the completely incorrect order, apparently they hadn't even printed my online order out yet. I repeatedly asked for the dressing to be placed on the side: I selected that option online and said it twice in person to the staff members working on fulfilling the order and they still handed me a bowl with dressing smeared all over the salad. read more

Chloe's Bowl all the way! Food is good. Lettuce isn't fresh enough for my tastes. Portion sizes seem to vary a bit, which affects how I feel about the price. Sometimes it feels reasonable, sometimes feels pricey for what you get. Still delish. Still recommend. Fixing those issues would bring CAVA to a 5 for me. read more

I really like this restaurant. It's like a fast food Mediterranean joint. However this location is not the best lol. I prefer the green hills location. But this one has outdoor seating. And nothing's wrong with this location at all! It's just my preference to be at the Green Hills one because I can walk around and go shopping afterwards lol! Hence waste more money. But let's get on the food! Mind you, I'm ignorant of Mediterranean food. But if this is a start I want to go to the Finish line! I got some type of honey chicken and boy I tell you what it was seasoned and good! And then there was some type of eggplant sauce I got, om to the freaking G that sauce is so good! I don't like hummus so I didn't get it. I didn't get those sauces they put on top of it at the end. It was just too many sauces. Because I also had a scoop of tzatziki sauce, cabbage, cherry tomatoes halves, corn on brown rice. The other times I went I just had vegetables with no meat. The third time I had to braise the lamb. It was delicious! So I like the fact this restaurant is a great fast food option! Definitely will become a repeat customer! read more
