Unsweet tea (you keep the cup), chicken farro bowl and the Greek style dressing. Very delicious!

Got the chicken farro bowl and it was very filling, delicious, and a very large portion that I could eat for 2 meals. Their dressing was divine. Service was excellent and place had seating inside and outside. Was clean and high traffic which is usually hard to maintain. Would def return to try more items on the menu.

Hotty toddy balls, chicken souvlaki, pimento cheese dip are

Volta is always amazing!! Great food, quick service and chill ambiance. The hotty toddy balls and pimento cheese dip are a must! But you can't go wrong on the whole menu

One of the best restaurants in Oxford without a doubt. The food is amazing, the humus is the best I've ever had, and everything tastes extremely fresh. I've had more than double digit meals here and I have never been disappointed. The only downside of this place and why I reluctantly am forced to give it 4 stars is due to the pride/trans flag hanging up, just unfortunate. Mental illness shouldn't be encouraged in my eyes, but the food is spectacular.

Walnut and goat cheese salad

Volta is a good spot for great frozen drinks and Greek food. I've come to Volta a few times and have always had a positive experience. My last visit was over Double Decker weekend at the end of April. Oxford locals can tell you it's a busy weekend - Volta managed to have us seated within a reasonable amount of time despite the crowd. Service has always been consistently decent. Nothing to write home about, but nothing negative either. Their food selection isn't too expansive, but what they have is delicious. This past visit I had the walnut and goat cheese salad. It was the perfect size! My friend and I shared the pita melt as an appetizer. The melted cheese was divine. If there is one thing about Volta that stands out it's the frozen mojito. I definitely recommend if you're looking for a delicious and refreshing drink!

Service here was friendly, the outdoor seating area is relaxing. The Hot Toddy bars are unique and something I do recommend but I wish they offered a 1/2 size as the price is higher although the serving size is generous.

Half price margaritas in July!

The food at McAlister's was absolutely delicious! We ordered the 12-inch Memphian, chicken tortilla…read moresoup, and the Spud Max as part of the Choose 2 deal. Everything tasted amazing. I took it home, and my husband and I shared it for lunch. It was perfect for a chilly, cloudy, wet Saturday. The restaurant was very nice and clean when I went inside to pick up the order. The bathroom was also clean, and even the outside of the building was well maintained, which is always a good sign of what to expect inside. Customer service was excellent from start to finish. Of course, I had the infamous sweet tea, so good! Overall, it was an awesome experience with delicious food, and I will definitely return to this location. One helpful tip: keep your food in a hot/cold bag until you're ready to eat. I keep one in my car, and it really helps. It took me about 40 minutes to get home, and we waited another 30 minutes before eating, and everything was still delicious.

I have never been to a crappy McAllister's until I visited this place. They do not have a…read moredrive-through they have a pick up lane only. Some new stupid orange sign that says MC8 on the front. Half of the tables in the dining area are covered with premade to go boxes. I made eye contact with one person long enough for them to ask me if I wanted to order and then tell me I needed to get in the other line. That person I made eye contact with for a good 10 seconds before I asked may I order something Where's the manager, McAllisters is a good restaurant; this one is run horribly. The sweet tea was good though, although the cup was only 1/3 full of ice.
