We used to avoid this location, because of the skimpy portions. Literally the portions were smaller every visit until we finally said enough and started going to the Coppell location instead. We recently tried it out again and happy to say the food, portions, and everything else was great! It seems like they have new employees who are more consistent with the portions and I hope this lasts! read more

Regular Cava, regular food. I don't think there's any difference between Cava locations food wise. But the service here was probably the worst I've ever had at a Cava. The guy serving us was very young. He reminded me of a young version of my previous boss. He mixed up what grains we were supposed to have, which is fine, no hard feelings, you can't really go too wrong at Cava. But he was very reluctant to do anything, decently slow, and he kept pulling ingredients from somewhere in the back instead of right in front of us, which I thought was weird. Maybe he was trying to grab fresher ones, I don't know. That's just speculation. We paid, went to grab forks, and there were none anywhere. We came back and asked for one. He said okay. My husband stood in front of the register waiting. The other guy working there, taller, younger, asked what he was waiting for. My husband said a fork. He said I'll get to it. Then he proceeded to refill the forks with the eating side facing up, without any cover, and he was wearing a glove while doing it. I would not take a fork from there. They are fully exposed. All it takes is one sneeze nearby and that fork is not clean. I did not vibe with that at all. I noticed they all store them that way, so this might be something the whole chain needs to fix. Either way, not impressed. Service was the worst Cava experience we've had. Food was okay, just fine. Not the best visit. P.S. My ratings are based on whether I believe I could make a better or healthier version at home. If food/drinks/service impress me, I'll be happy to come back. If not, the stars reflect that. read more

So first off look at the pictures in my review. Expectations vs reality. Ordered the salmon strawberry sesame. He salmon itself is very run of the mill. The sides are good. Tomato cucumber is fresh and crunchy. The white blob is yum, the orange one too. Rice is comparable to chipotle rice. read more

Lunch rush hour is real! Line was super long around 12:15pm on a Tuesday with about 20-30 people in front of me. Got to the counter to order around 12:40pm. Ordered the Harissa Avocado bowl with grilled chicken & steak. I added tzatziki and garlic dressing, both was fresh and delicious. I took a star because the they really skimp you on the portions of the hummus and dressing. Service was friendly and ordering was smooth. read more

Food is just ok. I don't understand the hype. There are other restaurants serving the same cuisine on the same street that are much better. It's good but nothing to rave about read more

I absolutely love CAVA.. the food is always fresh and the combinations are always interesting. The service is good as per the people working, but this location is extremely slow. If you're on a break I strongly suggest ordering a head by at least 30mins. Then when you arrive you only have to wait a additional 10mins for your order read more

I love CAVA but this location is not it. This one is about 5 mins from me and there's another one 10 minutes from me, I almost choose to drive to the further one to avoid this place. Unfortunately on Sunday I made the wrong choice by giving this location another shot. When I arrived, there were 2 people ahead of me. They both left the line due to the excessive wait. After 30 minutes of waiting, I asked them how much longer it would be until I would be helped. The kid said "for what?" I replied, "well to be helped, I also see you're out of all the rices?" He said "we have more in the back" and walked away. 5 mins later i decided to leave since I had already been there for 35 minutes and hadn't ordered yet. It was a mess. Also, this isn't the first time it's been bad. Every time I come here they are out of multiple toppings. read more

Friendly and quick service! Our portion size felt a little smaller than usual. Food was great as always.

I love cava so much N this location was so disappointing So dirty n unorganized They literally didn't hv half of the food .. the staff didn't know Their own menu .. sad experience read more

Came here earlier in the week, I believe on a Tuesday around 12/12:30, during the lunch rush. There were two people working the line, 2 people were working online orders, and one cook. The line was almost touching the back wall. I just want to commend the workers because none of them looked flustered or frustrated. They were handling the lunch run rush really well. But 2 people is just not enough. I think I waited about 40 mins to get my food. I just wish they had more help, I hope the owner/manager sees this. Other than that, the food was good and the employees were friendly (like precocity mentioned). read more

Ari was the absolute best! It's hard to find people in the service industry that make your day, but that's exactly what Ari did. We just landed and were starving. We came in and we were greeted with the best smile and attitude, especially at the end of the day when they were getting set to close, that made it even better. Food was great, but service makes the experience, and Ari made our night! Thank you, Ari, we will definitely be back. read more

I ordered the chicken and rice salad, and honestly, I wish I hadn't. When it finally showed up--20 minutes late due to "preparation," not the driver--it looked like something my dog would refuse to eat. The proportions were all wrong, like someone just dumped random scraps in a bowl. Presentation? Think "cafeteria leftovers" meets "yard accident." The taste was no better--bland in some bites, weirdly bitter in others. The chicken was dry, the beans were mushy, and the dressing tasted like it had given up on life. I've had better meals in airport vending machines. If this is what CAVA considers worth waiting extra for, I can only imagine what a "rush job" looks like. Total waste of money and appetite. read more

Ordered the "Harissa Avocado Bowl" based on a review stating that it had "so much flavor and texture". Was supposed to come with harissa honey chicken, hot harissa vinaigrette, Crazy Feta®, hummus, fire-roasted corn, avocado, pickled onions, Persian cucumber, feta, basmati rice, and SuperGreens. As the gentleman made the bowl, he had to awkwardly look up behind and above him to the customer order screen to see what to put in it. Because of that he missed at least three of the listed ingredients and sent it on down to the cashier as "completed". I had to ask to get the remaining ingredients added. You'd think they'd have "cheat cards" in front of them for the newbies or those that can't remember what goes in each. Price was pretty steep for what it was. Trash was overflowing all over the ground. Not sure I'd rush back anytime soon to repeat today's experience. read more

Cava is amazing! Quick serve, fresh and healthy food that can be customized to any diet or taste! We went in a large group and everyone was pleased with what they got. My favs are the spicy chicken and falafel. Service was a bit slow, seemed like staff was in training. read more

I have been wanting to try this place right next to Whole foods. I understood it to be a Mediterranean sort of Chipotle with bowls and wraps. Hubbs and I arrived around 12:30pm on a Wednesday and the line was maybe 25 folks deep, but it moved pretty quickly. I had hubby wait in line while I popped into Whole Foods to get a bag of chips (They only offer pita chips here). We got the regular chicken wrap, we told the guy making it that it was our first time there and he didn't even charge us! Hubbs also got a strawberry drink (I tried the blueberry lavender drink which was SOOO good, I kinda want to get a big one and take it home to make cocktails.) The wraps are hard to split - but i just whacked it in half and it held up pretty well. Boy, did this sandwich HIT THE SPOT!! It had chicken, hummus, lettuce, tomatoes (another spread I can't remember) and what made this great was a bunch of Kalamata olives. WOW, fresh crunchy, chewy (all the textures and fresh flavors that were just a perfect light lunch). I could totally have eaten a whole one - but would have been stuffed, half was actually perfect. I thought the lamb meat and the spicy chicken options looked good too on the line as they were serving folks, but I will be hard pressed to order anything other than that chicken sandwich again, it was that good!! read more

Amazing food and service Highly recommend obsessed Must come so healthy and delicious read more

This was my first time eating at CAVA and I had the best experience ever. They were very attentive asked me what I might like. They also gave me a free cucumber drink, which was phenomenal. I also love their pita chips. I would have to get a large one next time. The manager was so gracious and kind. I'll definitely be back again when I visit Texas thank you thank you thank you my bowl was amazing!! read more

The service here is terrible. 30 minute wait at 2:20 in the afternoon? You'd figure the lunch rush would be over but with no help on the front lines, it makes sense. There was no sense of urgency amongst any of the workers and the people that would stand in the "back" of the front line area (I.e. older black lady), it would've been nice if she hopped in on the last stage of the line so the cashier could focus on getting people out the door. Instead she stood there for at least 5 minutes rubbing her hands together. Not a good display of teamwork especially when you can visually notice the line is out the door. Meanwhile because the cashier was backed up, the food was meh, but since I paid for it, I'm gone eat it. Take my advice and avoid this location until the customer service improves or the staff has and understanding that the business professionals amongst everyone else, do not want to stand in line for 30 minutes for food that has subpar taste. P.S. - you can't even blame the management because I'm sure they've already trained on how to jump in when necessary and it's pretty human nature to just help out your teammates when you can but I'd hope that management would consult their staff about teamwork, urgency, and the importance cross training. read more

The food was so fresh and nice! Markia was so kind and made the experience great! The restaurant was clean and it was quick to order

The manager I presume was very patient & helpful with my order. I don't always go to Cava and at times I can tell some of the workers had an attitude with my lack of knowledge. But this guy offered samples and described flavors for me, I'll definitely be back to this location. read more

Employees are short and seem annoyed entirely time. Would avoid this location completely.

This review is for the service. Food is good, but good luck having an online order made on time. Factor in AT LEAST a 30+ minute wait time while waiting on your order that you placed ahead of time. Staff seems overwhelmed. Online ordering system shouldn't offer a time frame to place an order ahead if they aren't prepared to have it make on time. I placed an order to be picked up at noon. It's 12:30 and still waiting. Management seriously needs to reconsider their online ordering/pickup process, hire more employees...something. Because this wait time is absolutely ridiculous. read more

I went to 6731 N MacArthur Blvd Unit 150 Irving, TX 75063 On my lunch break and when I got there there register wasn't working so I had to make a online and I had order the Harissa Avocado and I was in a rush and only had 20 mins to go back To work so when I got my food took it got to work and when I opened they didn't put what I asked for they left out the avocado Romain and barley out any chicken so I was pretty upset and didn't have time to go back , keep in mind I've never had any issues with cava before just this one time I went to cava they messed me up and did not fill me up as it usually does read more

I'm a big fan of Cava generally and have eaten at a lot of their locations, but feel the need to leave this review for this location specifically as this location is always out of a significant amount of food items and staple/core dips for selection well before closing. I generally have an understanding that if you come in towards the end of the day a few items may be running low or out, but at this location it is a gamble for what items they will have available even when you come in hours before close. As of the day of writing this post they were out of all but 1 dip and over 2/3rds of their toppings. Either whoever orders their bulk ingredients consistently underestimates how much is needed and the store runs out daily or the staff make no effort to refill anything from supplies in the back. I understand not wanting to use/potentially waste fresh avocados 15 minutes before closing for example, but being out of tzatziki dip every single day past 3 pm is an annoying and preventable issue. They quite literally sell cava brand Tzatziki dip at the Whole Foods next door, whoever is the manager of this location just needs to go buy an extra tub or two to keep in the fridge. Hopefully next time I come in (if I go to this location again) I'm able to get more than just rice lettuce and chicken when I order a $15 bowl. read more

I went there on yesterday and was greeted by an enthusiastic Kyra. One of the nicest servers I have met since going to this location. I have been going for the past 3 years. The food was great as usual. But, I like to leave a review when there is a pleasant person serving you. It is so had to find good customer service these days.. read more

Friendly service with a smile and of course good food and fast service. Salad bowl was delicious.

Food was hot and fresh and the service was amazing, I've been to cava all over dallas and always have a wonderful experience

The food AMAZING the service even better!!!! Griffin specifically is wonderful and attentive and made our experience perfect!!!

It was my first time, it was just okay. I ordered the falafel bowl. The sides servings were small, in taste it wasn't bad. However the falafel was extremely salty and the pita. I was disappointed did not like the falafel and it was not fresh. I will try other Mediterranean restaurants. The staff were nice to me read more

Between the amazing food and service, I highly recommend this place. The food is always fresh and it's super convenient. The price is really reasonable $11-15 depending on your order. Darin is also amazing. I forgot something on my order at checkout and literally got it for me without me asking! So sweet and kind. This place is great!! The atmosphere is nice as well the restaurant is very clean. read more

Friendly staff and great food! Team was very quick, restaurant was very clean and over all great location!

The food and customer service have severely gone downhill at this location. Expect cross contamination, food poisoning, refusal to take exact cash as legal tender, terrible employee attitudes, customer hating managers, and bad vibes in general. I will not be returning ever again. Staff was completely unprepared for lunch (and it was slow) and made my wife and I wait 20 mins for the chicken to be ready all to find out they were not taking cash today. The manager was awful and told us to leave instead of providing and a proper solution. We did not want any change just our food. They threw it away. They could have easily took our cash and put it in the safe for the next day or simply said sorry for the wait and trouble and gave us the food as courtesy for the trouble. But no. This is how they treat their loyal customers. They did not apologize for the wait whatsoever or for being unprepared or not having a fully functioning register. There is all kinds of cross contamination going on there. I'm thinking about calling the health department to be honest. This is a viral video just waiting to happen. Location is completely mismanaged and out of hand. The food was looking gross and nasty mixed around and sloppy. read more

Food was good. The restaurant wasn't very clean when we walked into it, but they started cleaning while we were there.

Nice restaurant, the staff is quick and they know their stuff. I'm glad the cashier switches out her gloves between customers. I say this because I've witnessed this not happening at the location on Denton Tap and I walked out and submitted a complaint to the manager. Anywho, glad they appear to be more concerned with being clean at this location. Meal was ok, nice to have every now and again. read more
