    What a great experience! Let me just admit it... this was my first visit to Cava. *shame* As much as I have heard about Cava and their greatness, I usually run into one when I'm on the way out of the area. But on this day, I found myself starving and less than 10 minutes away from Cava so I figured, "Why not?!" I have visited this plaza before but on this day it was such a pain to find a parking spot! I ended up parking in front of another restaurant and I was lazy and hungry enough to consider going there instead of walking across the parking lot, lol. BUT, I stuck to my guns and went for the food I came there for. Upon entry, Cava was buzzing with customers but not overwhelming regarding the sound or crowd. Cava is one of those assembly-line, build your own kinda restaurants that I, personally, am a fan of. But it's Mediterranean style. Before visiting, I had heard so many great things about them so I was ready to dig in, but I wasn't ready for all of the great options! You have the choice of grains, greens or both for your base, various dips, proteins, veggies and more into your bowl or wrap, or you can opt for the house specialties. I decided to build my own with a combo of greens/grains, braised lamb and almost all of the veggies because they all looked SO good. My bowl ended up being so delicious. I wish I would have asked for a few more spoonfuls of veggies and lamb, but I know to do so next time. It wasn't that they skimped, but they were just so good, I wanted more. The combination of everything just meshed so well together, I thought I was taking my bowl to go but after sitting to take a few bites, I looked up and had eaten like 75% of it. Oops! Service was also exceptional. The young lady who started my bowl was so patient with me as I am always so indecisive, especially at a new place. She told me what her favorite dips were and I immediately went with those (and loved them all). When I went to the ladies room, the cashier even let me leave my food and drink near her (because who wants their food tainted by the bathroom?!) The restaurant was clean, not incredibly loud and filled with natural light. It was a great place to enjoy a peaceful solo lunch after a self care appointment. Now I see what all the hype is about!

    I had a really uncomfortable experience here that completely ruined what should've been a normal visit. The manager " Kay Jay" approached me in a hostile, aggressive manner that felt totally uncalled for. Instead of calmly addressing the situation, they came at me with an attitude that was confrontational and disrespectful, making me feel talked down to and unwelcome. As a customer, you expect professionalism, especially from management, but this was the exact opposite. The way I was spoken to made me feel embarrassed and stressed, and it was clear there was no interest in resolving anything respectfully. Because of this interaction alone, I won't be returning, and I'd caution others to be prepared for how you will be treated by Kay Jay the manager if there's any issue. If I could rate my experience a negative one, I would.

    Outside of the Cava. I believe the accessible entrance is on the side.

    Quin & Samantha were fantastic! I ordered on the app and a few items were out but Quin was super patient and helped me figure out what to replace them with. There was no wait. I appreciate how Quin and Samantha took their time with my order because a different Cava location that won't be named always misses an item (or 2) and hands it to me anyway. Not here! This is my favorite location by far and I plan to come back!

    Excellent fast casual restaurant. Very fast service, the food was really good and the portions were quite generous for the price.

    Oof really underwhelming--Food and service need improvement. The staff were unkind and mumbling as I was trying to order. Then this is what I got. I paid $14 for this bowl... never again. Very disappointed in this new location.

    Lamb Bowl

    Food (especially that lamb) is never a disappointment! Oh and that Blueberry Lavender Drink is 10/10 as well! Awesome for lunchtime!

    Half empty. No lettuce, even when I paid for extra.

    I have given this place so many opportunities to get my orders right. Each time, they fail. The bowl arrives half empty every time, even if you order extra greens and toppings!! Don't order extra avocado, you will never get it. Don't order a drink. You won't get it. Don't order the free pita. You will never receive it. I have ordered from this location countless times because it is close, but I will have to start ordering from other locations. I'm so tired of this. Literally NEVER. I have ordered at LEAST 10 times from this place. If you can't read the tickets at least put enough greens to have a full bite. Hate to be the spiteful guest, I work in food and bev. But over 10x is insane. Get it together. Plz

We're fans of other healthy bowl places like Upbeet (just across the street) and gusto! The bowls/plates we had this past Monday at sweetgreen were better than what we've had over the past year from both Upbeet and gusto! I didn't expect that from sweetgreen, which is a nationwide chain with over 240 locations. In comparison, Upbeet has only two locations (Atlanta and Nashville) and gusto! is a local chain with 12 Atlanta-area locations. At this location, sweetgreen validates parking in the attached garage (behind the restaurant) for one hour. Enter the garage via Brady Ave NW. There are two entry points. From the garage, there's a breezeway with direct access to sweetgreen and Howell Mill Rd. Take your parking ticket with you so the staff can put a validation sticker on it. My wife and I dined in and had the following for dinner: * Miso Glazed Salmon ($15.95) - miso-glazed salmon, avocado, cucumbers, pickled onions, crispy onions, white rice, nori sesame seasoning and spicy cashew * Hot Honey Chicken ($14.95) - blackened chicken, warm roasted sweet potatoes, veg slaw, crispy onions, herbed quinoa, and hot honey mustard sauce plus kale * Ripple Fries + Pickle Ketchup ($4.55) - freshly cut potatoes, air-fried in avocado oil and seasoned with sea salt and herbs Jendaya prepared our order and rang us up. Not only were our bowls delicious, but she plated and presented them beautifully. My wife had a question or two since it was our first time. Jendaya was nice when answering them and explaining things. Wonderful service from her. Overall, we were impressed with how tasty and satisfying the bowls were. The ingredient combinations were really flavorful. Everything was so fresh and yummy that it didn't taste like we were eating healthy food. I was most impressed with the salmon, which was soft, moist, and quite appetizing. If only all fast-casual restaurant salmon could be this good. My wife added kale to the Hot Honey Chicken, at no extra charge. You can create custom plates/bowls/salads from scratch or you can modify existing ones on the menu. One plate and fries filled me up for dinner. My wife got full before finishing her plate. We were the only dine-in customers during our visit on Monday around 6:20pm -- not surprising since it was a Monday at dinnertime. I expect this place is busier at lunchtime. If you dine in, the bowls are different (not disposable). In the dining room, a few tables hadn't been cleaned when we sat down to eat. Also, one of the trash bins was overflowing and another was about to. During our visit, I noticed a slow, but steady stream of online and takeout customers and food delivery drivers come through. Currently, there are six sweetgreen locations in metro Atlanta, only one of which is in the burbs (Dunwoody). This Star Metals location was the fourth to open in Atlanta, on March 22, 2022. The first location opened at Ponce City Market on June 8, 2021. The company/brand started in Washington DC in 2006. This location has both indoor and outdoor seating in a cool part of town (Westside). The interior still looks new with a modern, industrial design. If you plan to visit with any regularity, sign up for sweetgreen rewards. Use the sweetgreen app and scan your QR code at checkout to get points. You get 10 points for each eligible $1 spent. At the time of writing this review, you can get Rosemary Focaccia as early as 350 points and an entree up to $18 in value at 2,500 points. Points expire 180 days (about six months) after issuance. I didn't sign up for rewards until after our visit. Using the app, I sent a picture of my receipt to sweetgreen to get points. Christell from the sweetgreen "customer experience" team responded in less than 24 hours. She added the correct amount of points to my account. Excellent online customer support. We look forward to returning.

This is one of the five locations, and everyday their menu changes slightly so make sure to check that something you like is being served that day. I typically get the Chicken Noodle Soup (my favorite!) but since it wasn't on the menu today I went with the Tomato Basil. This was very good, but nowhere near as satisfying as the chicken noodle. Personally I like my tomato soups extra thick and creamy, which isn't how I would describe this one. However if that's not your style, this may be for you. I got it with a multi grain roll and chocolate chip cookie and when the roll was dipped in the soup, it was exceptional. And the cookie tasted nice and fresh. There's a free, private lot for parking, and lots of seating indoors and outdoors. The interior is adorable, drenched in yellows and reds, and the staff is very friendly and happy to give a recommendation. A great lunch option if you're over by Blandtown.

I usually get a combo, which is $20 but usually feeds me for more than one meal when I take it to go. Because it's counter-service the food comes out quick, and the servers are always really friendly. This is where I always take my grandparents for lunch when they're in town or where I can study and eat.
