This place is like the Mediterranean version of chipotle. You can make your own bowl and add what you would like to into it. I got the half salad + half rice option. The chicken is very moist and yummy. I was thinking about getting the lamb meatballs, but it is extra. I'm not sure if it mentions anywhere on the menu because I had to ask to see which meats were an extra cost. All meals come with a mini pita for free, so make sure to ask for that if you want some! Overall, I felt a little healthier after eating here and will definitely come again if I'm in the area. The downside is that it is located in Legacy West, so it can get very busy. It took me a while to get into the area and find a parking spot. If you don't feel like waiting in a line of cars and are looking for a quick meal, then maybe this wouldn't be your best option this time. read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - Plano, Texas

I've given this place plenty of chances and it's time we part ways. A few things: - unorganized and slow even with me being the only person in line - food portions are inconsistent and very stingy lately - the bowl is half full (1 table spoon of rice?) - salad is moldy - check before you move to the next station if the leaves are brown.. - dirty inside and half the machines are broken - tables don't get cleaned often - staff looks lazy and doesn't want to be there (if they're holding you against your will, please tell us!!) - almost forgot: DO NOT order online for pick up, they will most certainly mess it up. Every. Single. Time. This seems to be an issue at every single cava location I've been to so don't bother hoping for a better experience elsewhere. They will definitely let you down. Chipotle is a 10 min walk away. Much more consistent and pleasant. Do it, it's worth it. read more

A Mediterranean chipotle~ I loved this place! Lots of options and varieties to choose from. Cava is a pretty healthy dining option depending on what sauces and dips you choose. Portions here should be more than enough to fill you up! I really enjoyed the spicy lamb meatballs and falafel!! Price is a little more expensive than chipotle but it is well worth the experience. read more

This place is awesome and delicious! First class, unique, healthy and special Mediterranean food - we really enjoyed it. Their cucumber mint drink was delicious as well. The lamb is $3 extra, but they don't tell you that. Skip it anyway, the lamb meatballs are the best. read more

It's a new addition at Legacy West. I always like Mediterranean food because of the healthy options, like salad, falafel, pita bread, and hummus, and lamb as well if I want meat. It's cafeteria style. There are step by step instructions posted at the beginning of the assembly line. You probably won't need or won't read them anyway. I ordered a salad, which had assorted veggies like arugula, spinach, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. For the protein, I picked my favorite meat - the braised lamb. The veggies were all very fresh and the lamb was fantastic! Very juicy, tender, and flavorful. It came when pita bread, which was nice. I got only water for my meal. But they do have bottled drinks in their cooler (see my picture ... later). In addition they have other fruity drinks, like watermelon, strawberry, peach, and sweet tea at their drink station by the entrance. The interior is modern with wood panels and simple lighting. There is also patio seating. If the weather is nice, find a table outside and enjoy the live street view of Legacy West by the fountain! read more

This place is really starting to become a favorite of mine. It's very close to my office so it's hard to not think about it every time you walk by. Like others have said it reminds a lot of Chipotle but for Mediterranean food. On my first visit I tried the grain bowl. They had several different kinds of rice I tried it with saffron rice. They also have salad bowls if you want to avoid the carbs. You can pick multiple other options and it comes with pita bread. I picked chicken as my protein which I liked a lot. It was juicy and had good flavor. You can pick multiple dips and I went with the tzatziki and harissa. The tzatziki wasn't bad but the harissa was amazing. It's really hard to find good harissa in DFW. Good flavors and good heat. You can also add dressing, I tried the sriracha greek yogurt which was amazing. Both great flavor and a good kick. The bowl is huge, you have to be really hungry not to have leftovers. On another visit I had already eaten lunch but I was still hungry and I tried their kids meal. The kids meal was actually surprisingly small. If you haven't had lunch I would definitely recommend the bowl and just bring the leftovers home. The grain bowl is $9.57 before taxes which is a really good deal considering how much food you get and how fresh everything tastes. read more

CAVA is a gem! I enjoy Cava in Plano and the employees are always so nice! My go to is a rice bowl with tzatziki and harissa. I like a lil spice in my food so I always get the honey grilled chicken and the spicy chicken. The veggies take the bowl over the top! Pickled onions, tomato and cucumber mix and the roasted corn. And I get the lemon herb tzatziki on the side. Last but not least, do not and I mean absolutely DO NOT forget the pita chips. When the pita chips are fresh, they never make it home! I love CAVA not only because of my option but it also doesn't make me feel overstuffed and sluggish/I have limit myself to only once every two weeks. I wonder if they have a loyalty program or something?? read more

Dropped in with my mom for lunch today and we will definitely be back! I think we found our new favorite place. It has only been open for two weeks and there are only four other locations in Texas. Love the concept! I give it five stars for taste and quality. For the portions you get, the prices, in my opinion, are reasonable. I ordered a salad grain bowl with baby spinach, brown basmati rice, falafel, chicken, roasted red pepper dip, crazy feta, cauliflower quinoa tabbouleh, and pita crisps with spicy lime tahini dressing. My mom ordered a mini pita with chicken, tomato, cucumbers, and banana peppers. [See attached pictures] The atmosphere is fun and the employees are courteous, professional, and helpful. A menu at the entrance lists your options along with nutrition and dietary info so you can stay on track. #cavaplano #legacywestplanotx #mynewfavoriteplace #somanyoptions #whattoorderforlunch #saladbowlwithfalafel #chicken #brownbasmatirice #roastedredpepperdip #crazyfeta #babyspinach #cauliflowerquinoatabbouleh #pitacrisps #pitabread #spicylimetahini #fullfortheday 5/19/2019 read more

Dirty restaurant no pepper . All the tables were really dirty . Food was average . Ok not run well

Huge portions, affordable Mediterranean. I've never thought the Mediterranean restaurant in popping areas like Legacy West, where many fancy cars like Ferrari, Porsche, McLaren are driven with rumble roars, sells the affordable lunch. Even though it is affordable, it's huge portions, fresh, clean, healthy, handled by waitstaffs behind the glass panels. My menu chosen from BUILD included grains, spreads, toppings, proteins, dressings, and a pita bread. Due to the fact it was my first time visiting, I was really confused what I had to choose but the wait staffs were really nice to explain everything to mix stuffs in a bowl. I, in particular, loved the three different spreads, three different area in a bowl, to makes three different tastes. They have plenty of outdoor sittings to see the people, and dancing fountains, and to prevent the contamination in this pandemic era. I hope they survive here to provide the high quality food with nice view, affordable price to the people. read more

No test expect banch of food but to gather to fill bathroom service good ambiance waist of money And that is my frist time and last

Given this place chance after chance. No more. 20 dollars for a soaking wet mess, an old and poorly cooked meal from a quality chain that has a well-made blueprint for success that simply isn't being followed. I could've gotten a fresher salad from McDonald's, certainly from Chic-fil-a... ridiculous. A fantastic chain, an incredible location - must have a wealthy owner who absolutely doesn't give a crap about their restaurant. Cava corporate should take back their license and close it down or replace the owner. If food isn't burnt it's soaking wet, old and stinky. This from a place that prides themselves on a fresh healthy option. Employees seem to be in a bad mood every time we go in, like they aren't being cared for either. Never going back to this location. The Main Street location is run better than this and it's mediocre at best. For reference/comparison - I've added a photo of what a well run Cava's roasted veggies normally look like read more

I'm a fan of the greens and grains bowl. Protein options are always fresh, veggies are crisp and sauces and dips add the perfect touch. The outdoor patio offers a great view of the Legacy West fountains. This is the perfect casual dining spot and I'm so glad it's nearby. read more

CAVA - Salad bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Plano, Texas

Wow, this has now become one of my favorite places. I'm always looking for healthier options, and friends have been raving about this place. I'm now a huge fan. I ordered the bowl and personalized it with harissa chicken, brown rice, spinach, hummus, feta, other veggies and tzatkiki sauce. It was amazing and had a kick to it which I loved. I ordered a pita wrap to try for later, took a bite and was already impressed. You can personalize your meals to cater to what you want. I'm definitely a fan and will come back! read more

Loved it! Looking forward to it AGAIN!! Superb and delightful and delicious!!!!! I'm still trying new stuff there and enjoying every bite!

Let me start by saying I LOVE CAVA (the overall company/brand and food). This review is specifically for this location in Legacy West and it's uncleanlinesses. Last night I went and was mortified. The girls working on the line didn't practice proper hygiene. One kept the same pair of gloves on between making bowls and operating the register. The other one kept touching her breast area while at the register and when she rang us up, she thought it would be a good idea to place her entire hand inside of my cup. She was annoyed that I asked for a different one and put the contaminated one back in the stack. I also had to remind them that I ordered pita chips (which need to be deep fried). The both of them went over to the fryer clearly with malicious "payback" intentions. I had to stand there and watch them the entire time to make sure my food wasn't tainted. They both kept looking back at me laughing while one kept trying to shift her body to block what they were trying to do. It's really awful that you can't pick up "clean food" in a clean restaurant with decent employees. Trash was everywhere (inside and outside), the drink station was disgusting and nearly empty, and the floors were sticky. The last 4 times we've gone there it has always been around 8:30pm (an hour and a half before closing). The restaurant has actually been filthy every time - usually not 1 clean table. Other complaints: They are always out of food especially the lamb and spicy lamb meatballs. The grill is always off and unattended as if they're getting a 2 hour head start on closing. Therefore whatever is made at that time, is all they will have for the rest of the night. So good luck getting a complete bowl. The only reason I give this location 2 stars and not zero is because of the one curly dark haired guy that actually made our bowls last night. I don't know what happened but at some point the service dropped off completely and it feels very much like a management issue. There are so many tourists that visit Legacy West that may not know CAVA. What a great way to ruin a great brand. read more

Was surprised and pleased with this restaurant - we were looking for some Mediterranean but were in a bit of a hurry. CAVA popped up in our search and decided to check it out. Walked into what looked like a Chipotle's; so it was fast, efficient and best part: delicious! The chicken was cooked and flavored so well, the vegetables and tzatziki hit the palate extremely well with their freshness. Great food served according to your selections quickly. Have since recommended this place to several friends and family members! read more

Been to different Cava locations and really enjoyed it. This one, hmmm. First, we're told there is only romaine because it's Sunday. ?? No corn, no hummus. My wife asked for tomatoes & the server put pickled onions by mistake. We asked to remove the pickled onions, which she did.....and put them right back in with the other pickled onions on the serving counter. It's was very slow on Sunday afternoon...maybe 6 total customers. But tables needed to be wiped down, trash on the floor. Just looked dirty. Last.....yes, there is a small label that says "beverage trash only", which you can see no one follows, but I just found it kind of gross to have the trash receptacle literally 3" from the plastic forks & spoons. read more

CAVA - Chicken and Right Rice Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Plano, Texas

Finally got around to trying this place. Got a salad bowl with roasted veggies and... BRUH, SHE TASTY! $9.87 for a grain and/or salad bowl that comes with a choice of protein, 3 dips/spreads, unlimited toppings, and dressing. Super fresh and decently priced in comparison to a lot of the trendy healthy/salad competitors in the area. Order online or via the app, then it's ready in a little cubby labeled with your name- ideal for avoiding human contact. Anyways, quit being so basic and ditch Chipotle for a night. You won't be sorry. read more

Omg why did I wait so long to come here?!? So glad I finally made it here. I told the guy it was my first time and he was really helpful at explaining everything and even offered samples so I could try things out. I ended up getting a mini pita with harissa honey chicken. I loved the unlimited toppings bar and the options are so wide. I love having so many choices! I can't wait to come back and try more of their protein options. read more

The worst service I could cry from the humiliation of standing at the counter to order and not being greeted. Slow night on 12/3/21. My first time here and I left w no order. I asked the guy in the red pattern shirt what should I order and he said tell him what I want. I asked him for suggestions because I did not know how the menu worked. I sat down to visit the website because I needed help deciding how the menu worked but felt out of place waiting for cell service. Pro top: visit the website first before walking in. Also, the in person menu does have a few additional option not on the website. I won't be back. read more

I am posting the same issue that I posted under the Cava on El Dorado Parkway because there appears to be a systemic issue. "This is the second Cava our family goes to that is apparently not receiving online orders. When we reached the location, there was a huge line of customers standing around experience the same issue: employees were not able to find any of their orders and had to make them on the spot. The frustration amongst everyone (both customers and employees) was incredibly tangible. Frankly, I feel quite bad for the employees as it appears that they are dealing with some sort of faulty technology (and as mentioned earlier, the issue appears to be systemic as the Cava at Legacy West displayed the same problems last week when our family went). Hope this gets clears up!!" read more

This review is not about how good the food tastes or the quality of the service - because this store has the best tasting food out of any Cava and the service is very good. it's about the sanitary standards Last night we went and ordered 4 plates - different greens - some vegan and some had meats. I personally have been on a water diet for two days prior to that meal - i was really looking forward it to it. All 4 of us developed food poising symptoms shortly after. Not sure what the culprit is - we think it's the cucumber because that's the only thing we all had in common. But the issue here is somewhere along the line someone ignored something that's clearly bad and it ended up in our food. read more

I love coming here for lunch. The bowls and gyro wraps are both delicious. I feel like they could work a bit more on cleaning up the dining area and serving area so that's why I took off a star. read more

This was my first time visiting this location and I loved it. I was traveling for work and was looking for healthy food options while I had to eat out. The food here was so fresh and very flavorful. As it was my first time the staff here was very helpful and helped to explain what my options were as I moved down the line. I also really loved that in the bowl they gave you half of an avocado. a lot of places charge you +$2 for just a scoop of avocado and they actually gave you a decent amount. I love the spicy toppings they had along with the cucumber, mint, and lime juice. I can't wait to travel somewhere else that has one of these close by. I will be going again!!!! read more

I visited this restaurant for the first time due to so many reviews on social media. The staff were friendly and patient while making recommendations for me to try. I decided on trying the build it with grains and greens. I chose the lamb meatballs as my protein. I chose the skhug and lemon herb tahini dressing to top it off. The meatballs were a little dry but overall flavorful. I love all of the filler ingredients and the dressings topped the dish off. I will try another protein next time. I would definitely visit again. read more

Yum!! I have to say, the "Chipotle concept" seems to work well with many different types of food. I love all the options here. I was surprised to get 2 options for protein and really no limit on toppings. I ended up making my salad so big that I took some back with me and ate it for a snack later in the day. Lots of great flavors. I will say it's a little pricey (I think my total was $9.50-10?) But you do get a good amount of food. I think it's worth it and I'll be back! read more

This review is based purely on the unfortunate service I (and many others) received today, which seemed to be caused by understaffing more than anything else. I placed a pick-up order at 12:40 to be ready at 1. I arrived at like... 1:02 and went to the pick-up area, where there were NINE other people standing waiting for food. NINE (I counted). I went up to the counter to see if my food was one of the bags already sitting out. It wasn't. Not a big deal, I don't mind waiting a few minutes. Long story short, a few minutes turned into 30 minutes. I left right at 1:30 with my food in hand--not acceptable, especially when people are trying to squeeze in lunch on their 1-hour work break. After the line of NINE people waiting for pick-up orders dwindled to three, the guy at the register came over and offered us drinks, so bravo to him for trying to make the experience less annoying. All this to say the employees from my perspective seemed pretty busy, which leads me to believe it's a staffing issue. It was lunch rush hour during the week, and it was pretty obvious more than one person was needed to make pick-up orders. I know times are tough but this was a little ridiculous. Unfortunately I won't be ordering CAVA on my lunch break again because I'll be too afraid I'll be late getting back to work. Bummer, because the food is always great. read more
