    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.

    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!

    Margaritas were stout and delicious. Falafel was moist . The sauces with the souvlaki (pork) were sooooo good. Nice warmed bread.

    greeks or anyone who has ever had decent middle eastern food would probably compare the food at volta to skata. and not favorably!

But what I have been wanting to try is their breakfast and lunch bar. I couldn't find the hours for the bar printed anywhere (6a-9:30a). I just assumed breakfast would be until ten. So made it at 9:35. Most of it had been taken away, but asked if I could still be served with what was left. Lots of looking left and right trying to decide. Finally said yes if I was ok with what was out. I had scrambled eggs bacon and a biscuit. It was very good. Not saying it would be as good as an atlanta breakfast place like Callie's hot little biscuit. But it was good and $2.45. Lunch (10:30 or 11a until they run out which apparently is between 2-3p). I had Lima beans black eyed peas and rice with a yeast roll (or cornbread or spicy cornbread). $5. It was good. Hot and hit the spot. Not amazing. But good. I would go back. I expected the staff to be nicer and friendly since they are locally owned and operated. However, the staff at the bar tend to be surly, while the check out staff are always friendly. Not sure if they hate their jobs and owners or just always having a bad day when I go.

In the back is a old school grocery store deli with homemade and fresh offerings. I love their fried chicken.

She ordered the tuna special with coconut risotto; I went for the manicotti. The tuna was passable but forgettable. elevator music in fish form. The risotto? Mushy, coconut-scented regret. Sorry mom? My manicotti was so bland it could've been served at a tax seminar. For prices that suggest a culinary revelation, we got dishes that wouldn't impress a truck stop diner. The service matched the food's enthusiasm--our server was polite but they weren't giving the Olive Garden a run for their money, let's be real.. The bill hit like a personal insult, far too steep for such a lackluster show. Word is the ramen might be better, but after this, I'm not betting on it. Oxford's food scene isn't barren, far from it. The town boasts gems that deliver honest, delicious fare without the ego. But spots like SoLa, with their trendy pomp and inflated tabs, are a bitter letdown for anyone who's ventured beyond state lines and tasted what distant lands can offer. The Moms and I left wishing we'd picked a place that respects both palate and purse.
