I eat a more Vegan menu so this place did really well! I can't wait to bring my wife here but we…read moreare from out of town so it will be a while. I had the root veggie bowl and added lentils for protein. I asked for dressing on the side because I want to dress my own food. Before I dressed it I took a bite, wow! It could be eaten with no dressing! It was absolutely delicious. I asked if they have a vegan sauce and they did not know. CAVA has several vegan dressings available that are marked on the bottle. Might be something to consider. But, wow. I can't wait to come back! My drink was the Mango Apple Kale. It was very good and not too sweet. It's 7:10 on a Wednesday night. The place is not real busy but should be. The first experience was worth reviewing, they did great. I eat at chipotle a lot and their tables are always dirty and garbages overflowing but this place, no. The Farmside Kitchen tables are all clean in the lobby. garbages clean, floor...clean. They are going to do great. I look for forward to returning or finding one in my area.

Grabbed lunch from here recently and enjoyed it…read more Parking was simple, as there's a big parking lot for all of the nearby businesses. I got my order to-go and it was prepared on time. My wife and I both ate the Caesar salad and it was pretty darn tasty! The chicken was flavorful and the dressing hit the mark. I will say that the side of bread was pretty bland, but it's free so I can't complain too much :) Inside, it looked clean and cheerful. Overall, I would definitely come back to this location to grab a healthy meal.

They were doing everything right, even down to the Dr Brown's, and they had ZERO flavors too. There is a meat and cheese counter,r but most of the length of the shop is pastries, cakes, pies, es and other beautiful-looking treats. We ordered our sandwiches; I had an Italian sub, and it was just ok, kind of dry and lacking in flavor; frankly, Jersey Mike's makes a better Italian. But my wife got theReubenn, and it was simply the best Reuben we've had outside of Katz in NYC. I order Rueben's all the time, and I'm consistently disappointed. Most are dried out, have too little meat, and the corned beef is often dry, but not in this case. The sandwich was truly worthy, and we are ready to go back and have it again. Moist, flavorful meat, a generous portion, and the dressing andkraut weres well balanced. The bread was grilled, not toasted, and was itself rich and flavorful. Altogether, it is a Reuben worth driving a distance to have it. We are already planning to come back and try some of the baked goods, but also get the Reuben again too.

I had the day off and wanted a sandwich to take with me on a walk at the tobacco trail. Been here…read morebefore and had a sandwich directly from the menu. It was meh. The caprese I think. This time I ordered ahead and made my own. Yum. Loved skipping the line and just picking it up. Marble rye toasted, mustard, smoked cheddar, spinach, red onions and turkey. The sandwich was huge. I also asked for a pickle and got two over wrapped spears. While I didn't love all the plastic, they were great. Nice surprise. I had the second half for breakfast the next day.

Loved this hidden gem in Apex. It was our random Friday pick and it turned out to be one of best…read moreThai foods we have had in a long time. The place is big with outdoor seatings and cute interiors. We were seated immediately since the restaurant was pretty empty, may be coz we went a little late. We ordered Thai tea and Diet Coke, Thai tea was sweet and tasted good. In appetizers we ordered chicken potstickers which were 6peices in $7 and tasted good. For main course we ordered chicken egg noodles, drunken chicken doodles and kids noodle soup that came with chicken strips. Drunken chicken noodles was piping hot and so delicious, perfectly cooked chicken chewey flat noodles and sweet and hot sauces made the dish irresistible. The chicken egg noodles was dry (no gravy) but with lot of soya sauce, bean stouts, chili flakes chicken and egg noodles, we loved the whole combination. My daughter loved the chicken strips, they were hot and so soft, totally melted in our mouths. She finished all of it. The noodle soup was bland but perfect for kids. The entrees are expensive, around $22 to $24 for a dish but are totally worth it. Portions sizes are good enough. This is definitely our favorite place to go for Thai food now. The owner and serving staff were so kind and nice. Food was served quick too. Must visit Thai food place!

We really enjoyed our dinner! Pad Thai and Drunken Noodle were delicious! Finally found a place…read morethat's food tastes like Thai food from up North!!!! The staff were incredible and the mango ice cream was outstanding. You should definitely give this place a try! We will be back!

Great salad value! Yes the initial price seems high till you realize they take the time to dice up…read morethe lettuce of your choice so your salad bowl density is far more than your typical "undiced" salad. My crunch bowl was packed densely with kale salad and just the right amount of dressing -- too many places drench their salad with excessive dressing. I'll be back for this hearty salad place whenever we return to Cary from Los Angeles and I want to feel full from salad.

I love Diced! If you're looking for clean ingredients and fresh, flavorful salads, this is…read moredefinitely the spot. I always order the Southwest Crunch Bowl. I tell myself every time that I'm going to try something new--but I just can't help it, it's that good. I get it with the house-made chipotle ranch (which is amazing) and usually add chicken. The dressing really brings everything together, and I recommend getting it on the side if you don't plan to finish the salad right away--it helps keep everything fresh. The only downside is the price--adding protein can make the bowl a bit expensive--but honestly, I'm willing to pay more for high-quality, fresh ingredients. The staff is always quick, efficient, and helpful, which makes the experience even better. They also offer gluten-free desserts from JP's Pastry, which is a great bonus! Highly recommend if you want a fresh, clean meal that actually tastes amazing.
