The original is always the best! I have always been a big fan of Zoe's Kitchen. I would take my kids there, my sister and I would meet for lunch, and my son worked there while he was in college. When all the Zoe's restaurants started to close, I was disappointed because they always offered a healthier choice of food. Awhile back, my son told me that there was one Zoe's Kitchen left in Crestline Village. My husband and I decided to stop in for lunch since we were in the neighborhood. They offer the original Zoes menu which was always the best. Also their chicken rollups are back to full size, and their pasta salad is as yummy as ever!! read more

Food was SO GOOD! Nice to see a Zoës open in my area! I have missed it!! Service was outstanding!

I absolutely love Zoe's! Growing up, my mom would bring me their food to go for lunch because it was healthy and I loved it! It's also full of protein and so yummy. The service is incredible. The staff is always so welcoming and kind. They know my name & greet me everytime I see them. The overall ambiance is so nice & they are super quick & clean! It's so easy to go in and order quickly to go, or nice to dine in or sit outside & enjoy the Crestline village surroundings. I love Zoe's so much!!! 10/10 recommend- one of my favorite restaurants of all time. Chicken kabobs, pasta salad, Mr. Pibb & yaya's chocolate cake may be my death row meal. LOVE all the staff :) it's home! read more

Old Zoe's is back! I hadn't been back here in years and my meal was incredible! I ate outside and enjoyed the nice weather. They brought my food out so quickly too. This was the most amazing salad ever. For one, you can see from the picture that the salad is gigantic, so I get to have leftovers for lunch tomorrow. The dressing, the chicken, the caramalized onions, and the surprise potatoe salad hiding underneath all made the best salad ever! read more

Zoes Kitchen - Greek Salad - Greek Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

Love the salad plate. Chicken salad is the best. Quick service. Glad they are back open.

The best fast Mediterranean food, delicious Greek salad with great dressing . Their slaw is wonderful. Chicken roll ups are yummy. The location is so nice. Wonderful owner! read more

I'm a Zoe's fanatic from the old country, so my recent visit to one of their last standing locations on a recent road trip through Birmingham was something like a pilgrimage. We stopped in for lunch on the go, and it was immediately like stepping back in time to my favorite Zoe's locations throughout the years. We picked up our order and loved it - the freshest Greek salad, warm rice, and the hummus tasted great as always. Of course, I had to pick up a bottle of their dressing, truly one of the best Greek dressings in the country and something I sorely miss having regular access to, to recreate Zoe's at home. The last remaining bastion of the best fast casual spot ever and an immensely fresher option to some of its more modern counterparts, Zoe's is a must-stop for me in Birmingham. read more

Best chicken salad sandwich ever!!! Worth every penny... actually makes 2 meals. Definitely would order hummus next time and would love to try the Rueben sandwich. Service was excellent. read more

Growing up, I always enjoyed going to Zoe's Kitchen, so when I found out that they were bought out of business, I was devastated. Luckily, Mountain Brook still has a location, so I was very excited to check it out. Walking in, I felt a wave of nostalgia, from the bright green and orange decor to the overall ambience of the space. Everything was very clean and we had no issue finding a clean table to sit. Zoe's is quite small, with only 10 or so tables, but it did not feel overly cramped when sitting down to eat. You order at the counter and take a number to get your food delivered to the table. All of their vegetarian and gluten free options are indicated by a little graphic, which made ordering extremely easy, however I was a bit devastated that they removed their spinach roll up's from the menu . Many restaurants don't have this, so it can sometimes be a guessing game of what is actually vegetarian. From an allergen perspective, I am glad that they indicate what is gluten-free appropriately. I ordered the quesadilla, which had spinach and feta, and the side slaw. Our food was served on a paper plate, which is typical for Zoe's, but is not the most sustainable option. Everything was delicious, especially the slaw, and I think that the portion sizes were appropriate. Overall, I truly enjoy Zoe's Kitchen and their vegetarian options and will be returning. read more

Do not go here!! I know we all miss Zoe's but this one isn't it! My food was wrong, when I went to the grown man behind the counter he told me I could "fix it myself"! Absolutely zero customer service as he barely looked up from his phone to take my order so no surprise he didn't get it right or care!! We drove out of our way for this salad and I will not only never be back but the man's attitude was so egregious that I'm calling the owner!! I guess Zoe's is gone for good read more

Zoës has fixed whatever was wrong with my rice in previous weeks. I can confidently say that they have earned my business. Delicious Mediterranean all the way around. The staff is wonderful and the service is so quick. Nobody does it better! read more

Phenomenal food. Incredible service. Always love going here. Cannot recommend this place enough.

What is up with the chicken salad the last few months? We buy a quart size every Friday. This is not YaYa's original recipe. Huge chucks of celery (yuck) and too much mayo (gross). The original had far fewer pieces of celery and it was minced and not big chunks. Also have had pieces of chicken cartilage in a couple of batches recently. Wonder if John Cassimus is aware that YaYa's recipe has been altered. It's a shame. read more

Awesome job and great food. Service is always explicit. And it never disappoints. Staff presentation and quality style restaurant makes any and everyone feel invited read more

I hate that Cava bought out Zoe's. The only Zoe's left is not even original to its menu. No more salmon kabobs. No more Harrissa salmon pita wraps. No more steak kabobs and no more limeade or the wonderful hot grilled potato. So sad those items are discontinued. I'll miss the original Zoe's for life. I'll have to recreate the menu in my own kitchen. read more

I ordered online so it was fast and easy to walk in and retrieve my order without any wait time. read more

So much better now that the family is running it again! Original recipes are back: pimento cheese, chicken salad, etc.

everything is great! I get a quart of chicken salad to go also after a meal the service is amazing and the rewards program is a nice bonus ! also the chocolate cake reminds me of my moms cake and I buy slices and also buy the whole cake for holidays read more

I love, love, love Zoes. So happy they opened back up!!! This is the only chicken salad I am willing to eat. The Cole slaw and potato salad are the best. When someone remarked that Zoe's had reopened in Mountain Brook I went that day!!! So, so, so Happy they reopened!!! YAY!!! read more

Used to be our go-to for quick healthy dinners...sad that it is no longer that place. At least 50% of our on-line orders are not filled correctly. But the worst is the hair in the salad incident, visible as soon as I opened the clamshell container: right on top, stretched across the entire salad. ..couldn't be missed. Turned right around and drove (10 minutes) back, stomach churning. Was received without much surprise and no sincere apology. Saw the person behind serving hatch who was flipping her ponytail as I stood there. Pointed this out discreetly to cashier who told me that the employee was wearing a hat (it was a golf cap - long ponytail streaming down her back, over her shoulder) and that fulfilled all AL Health Dept requirements. Offered to replace meal. No thanks! No refund. And no returning for us. Guess it's due to Cava's ownership? Whatever: it's a shame. read more

Back to the original Zoe's menu and owners! Missed this place so much. Not a bad thing on the menu

Reopened in February of 2023 under original management with the original menu. Delicious food and great service, just like it used to be! read more

Zoes Kitchen - Front counter - Greek Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

We have been to this Zoe's twice now and it's been just fine each time. The service is a mixed bag, but what can you expect from a fast food joint? I enjoy their meals and like that they have some good flavor going on their sides. I don't think I've had a side yet that I don't find repeatable. I've had their chicken kabobs and their lamb balls, both good. Overall, I feel like their food is guilt free and tasty! As always with fast food, don't expect it to look like the pictures. It's very underwhelming when you see your food in front of you, but it is still very filling and delicious! read more

Zoe's has gone downhill ever since the Cassimus family sold the company. favorite menu items are no longer offered and what is offered isn't very good. this used to be my favorite fast casual restaurant but not anymore. read more

I was a huge Zoe's supporter. Used them for catering all of the time. Ever since they changed the menu, the food has been awful. The chicken roll ups were horrible, tasted like they were cooked with sugar. See below pic of the chicken bone inside of the roll up. Why did they take away salsa? Hummus was pure olive oil. Why change the menu? I've tried to give them several opportunities, but this was the last straw. read more

Zoe's chicken salad is everything I need in my life. It's a nice, fresh, no frills version of the classic dish on soft multigrain bread with some thinly sliced tomato and a ton of mixed greens with a bit of mayo. It's so delicious and filling! For our Thursday evening treat, I had the aforementioned sandwich, a side of plain lays chips and a zesty lemon cookie. It was such a nice meal in a very tidy fast casual restaurant. The employees were wonderful, greeted me with a smile and promptly prepared and brought out my order. And that zesty lemon cookie....whoah the lemon. Soooo lemony and delicious! Not too sweet, not too tart. It was just right and a perfect end to my meal. For something fresh, light and not hard on the wallet, I would give Zoes a try! read more

I got the power grain bowl.... Avocado was brown, pico was old, chicken was cold. Also got a chocolate chip cookie but my selections were slim considering they were all burnt :/ read more

Zoe's Crestline has gone down hill FAST. As you can see in the picture, I ordered pasta salad as a side TODAY and it looked like this. almost looks like potato salad instead.... Just fowl. Most of the time when I try to call and place a to go order for pick up, the phone line is down. A few weeks ago they were out of almost everything - the girl in the store had to read off what they actually DID have. This Zoe's continues to disappoint me and it seems week after week it only gets worse. I won't be going here anymore and I'd advise anyone reading this to not waste your time there either. read more

Disorganized and too slow. Was told my order would be ready in 15-20 minutes. Simple order single order of shrimp kabobs not ready for almost 40 minutes. Apparently they misplaced the order. read more

Original owners reopened this location. The soup is delicious as it used to be! Very excited and grateful they reopened.

I didn't get anything I ordered and what I did get was crappy. Zoe's used to be good. Dunno what happened

Great atmosphere and service! Had the club pita and it was fresh and delicious. The chicken was moist and all of the bacon was crisp. The ham, Swiss, lettuce and tomato was falling out of the pita and delivered a great punch of satisfaction. Kiddo loved the roll ups while the wife demolished the chicken salad sandwich! "It was incredible" to be exact. Will come back again! Great food and super friendly service! read more

Zoes Kitchen - Kids roll up meal and club pita! Fired up - Greek Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

The food was outstanding and service fantastic. We will definitely come back. Chicken was so tender.

I have given a review of Zoe's before. And one thing I can say about them is that they are very consistent across the board. Which is great when you know you have a solid option wherever you might be in town. This location is not different. They may not be my favorite Greek food in Birmingham. But it is still always really, really good. I am a creature of habit. So when I get Zoe's, 9 times out of 10 I'm going to get my favorite. Spinach roll ups with chicken. If you haven't gotten these and are steered away because of the mushrooms (I'm not a big mushroom guy), have not fear. I would not even be able to tell if it didn't say so in the description. I'm still not convinced they are there. I tried to order take out here on a Sunday at lunch while we were on our way home. Apparently so was everyone else on this side of town because I could not order by the time we were passing our turn for Crestline. So we decided to just stop by. And it took quite a while to wait in line, order, and then get our food. That is my only real complaint. But as I said, Sunday lunch at this particular location seems pretty hectic. All in all this location (as with the rest I have been to) are a solid four stars. Always friendly people, clean environment, and pretty good food. read more

Loves Zoës, but I order chicken roll ups and there was no chicken in the roll ups. Very upset!!!!! read more

I'm going to put this as short as can. Their food has always been very yummy and tasty. It comes fast. It always looks very clean and neat which has become a big deal these days. Zoe's has a very convenient place which is easy to find and I always enjoy my trip to Zoe's! read more

Hey, I watch what I eat. But Zoe's is tasteless, rabbit food to the extreme. When someone says, "Hey, let's eat at Zoe's" I groan inwardly. It's an overpriced and noisy sanctuary for the tennis skirt crowd, not a place for someone who wants anything remotely filling. read more

Went to the restaurant on US 280 at 6:00 PM on a Friday evening. I was warned that it would be at least one hour before I could get food because they had so many call in orders to fill. This should not be accepted practice!! read more

Where's the beef? Wow not very generous on their meat! Parcel of turkey on the sandwich..weak for the price they charge read more
