    Hopefully it's enough!
    Peter T.

    I probably wouldn't have tried CAVA if not for feeling that I wasn't eating enough healthy food recently. I normally don't go for these types of places as I usually don't get filled up enough due to stingy portion sizes. That is not the case with CAVA, I ordered online since there was one 4 minutes away from my hotel and I didn't need to get stuck in going home traffic in the area. I ordered online through the Yelp link and kind of tried out the online ordering system with less than high hopes that I would get what I wanted. I was surprised that it was easy to order what I wanted and the resulting bowl was pretty heavy in portion size. It is also full of flavor as well. I go for the half chicken/roasted vegetables with half greens/grain. I really enjoy the black bean grains as it adds to the texture of the meal. The chicken is good and the dips and sauces are all really tasty. The store itself is so so. It looks like any make your own pizza, salad, bowl place with a slow down with customers choosing their ingredients. The floor was a little sticky as I think someone may have dropped a drink as there was a drink bar near the take out order areas. I usually order at my hotel and it's ready within a few minutes of my arrival so about ten minutes from online order to in my hands. I have been here twice and both times, there were a lot of customers so I believe they are very popular. This meal really fills me up and I feel good after eating my meals here. Overall, I enjoy taking out from CAVA a lot and I appreciate the food prep personnel as they do a good job.

    Got the greens and grains chicken and was healthy and delicious. It's was also fulfilling. The cucumber and mint drink was also refreshing! I'll be back here again to try more things in the menu!

    Decided try something different other than chiptole and I have not been back to chiptole since. The food is so good with a varitety of options that you can add to your bowl. The service is always great, they allow you to sample items that you are unsure about as well as put things on the side. The ambiance is a nice for a quick casual lunch gathering with 1-2 people.

    I had a yummy dinner at CAVA. I got spinach and chicken with hummus. Tzatziki sauce was amazing! It was delicious! Everything was super fresh even though it was late in the evening. Staff is friendly. Place was clean. It was busy even in the at 9pm. This place is popular but line goes fast. It was a pleasant experience at CAVA!

    Can never go wrong with Cava. Tired of the 4th of July BBQ so needed something different. I rarely actually sit down and eat in there but it's always a nice atmosphere. The people were friendly and had my order ready when I came in. I got the spicy lamb meatballs which are not spicy but still good. The garlic sauce is a must. Definitely brings everything together. The hot harissa chops are good. Wish they would bring back the ranch chips. Overall great good with great service.

    Good food, good service - that's always a good start! I popped in here the other night to grab a healthy meal. I got the Greek Salad with a few modifications. I needed some extra veggies so I added them, and the char was just enough. I also had tahini Caesar and Greek vinaigrette on the side since I had a little drive before I'd eat. I didn't want my salad to be soggy. I added the roasted eggplant dip to the hummus and tzatziki that accompany this dish. The salad was super tasty. I think the Newport News restaurant spoiled me though; I was looking for my pita bread :-( I didn't need the bread! They have plenty of tables and seating options. I like how the drink cooler is right when you walk in - smart marketing strategy. They even have still and sparkling water in aluminum bottles!

    I have always loved Cava for its flavors and fresh ingredients. It's kind of like a Chipotle, but better. This is a Mediterranean style restaurant. Honestly, whatever you order is going to be delicious. A few of my favorite things are their homemade pita bread, any choice of meat/protein and their hummus! This location was very large and clean. Luckily when I went at 11AM on a Friday morning, there weren't many people so it was pretty quiet. The few people that were there quietly sat and did their thing. The staff was very patient when my group and I were making up our minds on what to order. The portions at this location are also great. And this location has many, many selections of their lemonades/drinks that took me a while to decide! I ended up going with the strawberry lemonade choice, but any drink you choose here is also going to be super fresh and delicious. This time I ordered half brown rice, half grains, chicken and vegetables for the protein (picking 2 was an extra charge), tomatoes, cucumbers, hummus, tzatziki, feta cheese, and the lemon chicken sauce. It ended up being $15.57 and then I noticed the drinks around the corner, so I paid an additional $3.36. It's a bit pricey, but for the quality of food and a treat once in a while I think it's worth it. I did not use the restroom because I was just passing through, but I have no doubt it would have been just as clean as everything else. If I'm ever in the area again, I'd definitely go back!

    Greens and grains bowl with chicken
    Angel E.

    As soon as I walked in, I was greeted which is phenomenal for a busy place. The server asked me if I knew what I wanted or if I needed time. Great customer service because I didn't feel rushed to order something. I decided to do the build your own greens and grains bowl with chicken. I love the all of the hummuses but went with the traditional, harissa, and eggplant. The best part is that the toppings are unlimited. I basically got them all. I did get the dressings on the side. The harissa vinaigrette and the Caesar. This was my first time trying the caesar, I wasn't a fan. The flavor with the toppings all mixed in. Yum!!! I couldn't get enough. Back to the service, the water dispenser is broken, so the server helped me to get the water out which is great. She didn't want the water to splash on me which I appreciate. The tables were clean and I was able to find a spot to eat. They do have sanitizer dispensers. Overall, my food and service was great. I didn't feel bloated or anything after eating here. I would come back.

    Great customer service. The restaurant was clean and they offer a lot of options. Bowls. Salads. Pitas. Pita chips. Desserts. Great lunch choice of the of the balsamic date chicken bowl. Very flavorful and fresh ingredients. Tried the pita chips, they were very delicious. Give this place a go if you're looking for Mediterranean options

    Greens & Grain Bowl -- half Honey Harissa Chicken & Half Lamb Meatballs
    Nancy H.

    I have wanted to try CAVA for years, but have never lived close to one. That changed yesterday and I will most definitely become a regular. The best way to describe it is that it's very similar to Chipotle, but mediterranean food, which makes it 10x better. I got the Greens & Grain bowl with baby spinach and cauli rice. I added on basically all the toppings and did half honey harissa chicken & half lamb meatballs for my protein. Everything was insanely good!!

    Order with app. Skimped on food and it was slopped in bowl and like it was shaken up. The staff was terse and rude, especially the manager.

    I stopped by to pick up dinner for me and my boyfriend. We ordered a medium cheese pizza, large…read morefries, and garlic knots. I don't think the pizza was the best I've had, but overall thought it was solid! The garlic knots were way bigger than I expected, but unfortunately they weren't quite to my taste, not really garlicky enough and a little too crispy for me. It seemed like a nice mom and pop shop. The owner was kind and welcoming :) I would return to try other items on their menu, but would skip the garlic knots next time. He did mention that they're closing in a month though :( So if you're in the area, go out and support while you still can!

    Sunday afternoon, headed to an ODU game we figured we'd try someplace we'd not usually go…read more The food was ok. Not the greatest Gyro I've ever had, but not the worst either. The tzatziki was also ok. We also got a baklava sampler, probably the best thing we got this day. The service was good and service was quick. I chatted with the owner who is originally from Egypt. We chatted about his terrible timing in opening restraints, as he opened this establishment just before COVID, and in Egypt he opened a restaurant just before the 2011 revolution. He also took a few minutes to tell me about the giant picture of Alexandria, Egypt... not Virginia. We chuckled that the traffic could be equally bad at both. This is a pretty big take out place, and the neighborhood could go either way. I'd try their shawarma or falafel, but pass on the gyro.
