    Kids meal
    Michelle T.

    Food is really good here! I finally got to try the restaurant, which I have heard great things about. I like the counter/quick serve style with the patio and inside seating options. I actually visited two days in a row because I enjoyed it so much! The first time I ordered a bowl and shared with my guy, the second time I got my own kid's meal and that was plenty of food. The bowl is pretty good size, I def couldn't finish one myself. The hummus is so good and the sauces/dips are delicious. They do limit you to a few of each when you get the bowl, and then you get minimal options with the kid's meal. I tried the chicken and it had a very good flavor that went well with the rice and veggies. Unlimited toppings are offered, which is great because I love the corn, grilled veggies and cucumber/tomato options. The fountain drink and tea/juice options are great - definitely higher level than most fast food places. Prices are fair for what you get.

    Always enjoy eating at cava! Ordered online and picked up. Spacious parking lot out front. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly workers and always a good time.

    A good spot for a quick meal that's better if you order in person. There a decent amount of parking nearby in the plaza. They have both indoor and outdoor seating available. I usually take the food to go and the few times that I have dined in, I found it difficult to find a table that was clean. You order cafeteria style and pay at the end of the line. I order food from here frequently because of the convenience. I enjoy being able to customize the meals so that they fit everyone's dietary needs. Every time I go in person, my order is correct, but every time that I've tried ordering online, my order has been way off with lots of ingredients either missing or in the wrong person's bowl. They use good quality ingredients and the portions are generous. The size of your bowl may vary depending on what you order/add into it. Some of the workers have been trying to offer freebies in exchange for 5 star reviews mentioning their names which was very off-putting. Regardless, I will still happily pick up meals from here.

    Stopped by CAVA for a quick lunch and it honestly hit the spot. I built a bowl with chicken + all the toppings, and everything tasted fresh -- lots of flavor, good portion sizes, and the veggies actually tasted crisp instead of soggy. The roasted corn, pickled onions, and avocado always pull the bowl together for me. The pita on the side was warm and soft, and the dressings were balanced without being overly salty or heavy. It's one of those spots where you know exactly what you're getting, and it's consistently good. Service was quick even during a rush, and they didn't skimp on portions (huge win). Outdoor seating was clean and easy to grab. Solid, reliable option when you want something fast but still flavorful.

    I was disappointed with my experience at CAVA. The portions were very small for the price, and the customer service was poor. The manager was unprofessional and did not handle the situation appropriately. I expected much better service and value. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. Not recommended at all

    Amazing food and great service! Shout out to Levi and Jude

For $19.99, I think it's a pretty good value. It's not gourmet or top-notch quality, but that's not really what you're coming for. It's the nostalgic experience, variety, and that simple, satisfying food that makes it worth a visit.

    Came here by accident - I was actually trying to go to the boiler and we had driven all the way out…read morehere to go there only to find out it was closed. Luckily, Soup n Fresh was in the same plaza and we've been bombarded by social media about how it was the second coming of soup plantation. It was over 100 degrees outside on a weekday lunch so we didn't really expect it to be very busy. When we entered, the host wasn't around and an employee insisted we stand outside in the 100+ degree weather to wait..... When the host came back, she said we didn't need to wait. At the end of the line, there was someone attempting to direct you towards a table, however it was confusing as some tables were marked with a paper saying it was taken? Food wise - it's no soup plantation. I remember really loving the Asian inspired salad and theirs just simply can't compare. It doesn't taste anywhere close to what I remember. The broccoli madness was close, but not perfect. Other than that....it was just a salad bar. They were good about refilling the salad bar, but they weren't good about refilling the fruit station at the end (wasn't refilled for over 1+ hours). Soups were a lot more water-y than I remember - favorites such as the clam chowder were super watered down. Luckily, the baked potato bar toppings could save it. The hot bar - the pizzas/garlic bread or whatever were disgusting. They tasted like cardboard and reminded me of that sad lunch you'd attempt to eat in elementary school. Pastas also sucked. The blueberry muffin was actually good though! That was the highlight - with real blueberries inside. Overall, I found the food to be generally bland. Unfortunately, it wasn't the glorious blast to the past that I was hoping for.

    First time here and loved everything about it…read more First of all, General Manager Jessica is suuuper nice and friendly. She greeted us with great energy, making small talks. Told us everything is made in-house, even the sauces! That's really good to know and makes me feel better about the food. She even gave me a free delicious cookie for being a first timer! And she comes around from time to time to check on us to make sure we're enjoying our food. Really nice to receive this kind of attention from a fast-casual restaurant. The Santa Maria BBQ Salad looked good but I asked her if they could substitute the chicken with the Chimichurri steak and she said "sure!" And surprisingly they did not charge extra! I love restaurants that are flexible like this. My salad bowl was SO good and filling. Lots of good stuff in it: chopped salad mix, coleslaw mix, Applewood-smoked bacon, crumbled goat cheese, corn & black bean salsa, grape tomatoes. Served with chipotle ranch dressing and blackberry BBQ sauce on the side, and a fresh baked focaccia bread. The only thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the cold meat. I was under the impression that the meat was going to be hot. My BF got the Southwestern Sandwich. It was delicious. All the Southwestern flavors were there but not overwhelming. The sandwich was hot and juicy. For a restaurant that makes everything from scratch, their prices are very affordable. Both our meals were only $27 total.
