    For lunch, my local coworker suggested CAVA which I had been meaning to try in Arizona where I am from. We came for lunch and I was surprised how busy it was; definitely a testament to the food quality and quickness of the service. I enjoyed the lunch, though I will say it is very loud in there so I wouldn't dine in due to lack of ambiance from the loudness. Pro tip: order and pay via the mobile app to skip the line! Enjoy at your office or the comfort of your home (or hotel in my case).

    Amazing customer service by KD and all the other crew members keeping up with high demand. The food was fresh as always and drinks were refreshing! Will be back!

    Located in a really convenient spot amongst others in a shopping center, it's so nice to be able to just grab something quick and casual. The food is delicious, I always love making my own bowls at Cava, but they don't skimp out on any ingredients. I love the Mediterranean flavors and the workers are pretty friendly.

    Came here with my friend for a quick and easy dinner after our workout class. It was quick and the space is clean. The workers were friendly too. For some reason though, whenever I get Cava it's always a little salty for me.

    I went here for the first time. I had the harissa avocado bowl with honey chicken let me tell you it is pretty spicy. Lotta good flavor though but if you don't like hot, you might not like it. I liked it, but it was a bit hot. my husband did not care for spice They definitely have to be related to chipotle it's the exact same set up. They need to clean their bathrooms better because when I see that the bathrooms aren't being cleaned it tells me that they're not really that up on clean. I took this picture real quick before I walked out of the bathroom.

    My fav lunch spot! Always fresh and delicious with tons of vegetarian options. $12 for a bowl seems reasonable. Even if there's a big line it always goes quick. Clean. Parking is a tight spot in town center, no drive thru like the mandarin location.

    Decided to give this place a try as I've heard a lot of my friends and some coworkers were raving how amazing this place is so ofcourse I had to see what's the hype about. Entering the establishment it's like a chipotle but Mediterranean food instead. My partner and I had two different bowl She had the chicken and I had the steak. They were both pretty good but the amount of feta was just too much for me. I just wished they gave a bit more rice as all that was left in my bowl was just protein and the veggies. The service was decent not the best but could tolerate. The lady who started with the bowl seem a bit passive but it's whatever, and the second one to do the topping didn't even seem like she wanted to be there. But atleast the person who was cashing us out was pretty positive ! Overall it is a good place but the service just need to be improved.

I probably didn't choose the best option. I was excited about it but really had to force myself to like my broth bowl. The broth came out lukewarm. They did reheat it happily which I was hesitant to ask for. But I just couldn't eat it with cold broth. The broth had absolutely no salt. Like 0. I suppose if you don't like any salt it would be an okay option for you. I found most of the items to taste like grill and nothing else. Just wasn't impressed. I want to like it and I'm sure I'll try it again someday but wasn't memorable. Price was affordable however.

We started with Hummus and Tata Chips, which was crispy pita chips with a standard (but delicious) hummus. The Tata chips had great flavor, like Stacy's Pita Chips but better! The firat course was White Bean Fahsulia, which was a rich and hearty bean stew that packed huge flavor! Second course was Falafel with Tahini Sauce. These were a nice little bite between dishes. The center of the falafel was light, fluffy, and flavorful! Course 3 was Masaka-Ah served with Timan Asfur Rice. While this dish was good, it was my least favorite of the evening. I ate half of the stew and passed the rest off to my husband, who loved it! Course 4 brought us Dolma's served with Roasted Vegetables. I LOVE stuffed grape leaves and these were seriously on point! Tart and tangy up front followed by a whole lot of savory. Course 5, my favorite, was the Spicy Curry Chicken served with White Rice. This was the dish that made me fall in love with Fast Eddy's food and had me coming back for more. I took a couple bites and got a to-go container to enjoy this later at home. Finally, we reached the end of our dinner and Course 6, dessert, came out. Freshly made, sweet and decadent, traditional baklava. Filo dough, crushed walnuts, butter, and honey. This just melted away once it hit my mouth. I don't eat a whole lot of sweets but this had me closing my eyes and enjoying every bite. Every time I've visited Fast Eddy's the staff has been amazing, friendly, and hospitable. And of course, the place being completely decked out with rock and metal music memorabilia, i feel right at home here. Oh, and there's never a time where I leave that place without an order of the Pasta Anatoli to-go!

I did have the crab, shrimp and lobster bisque for my appetizer, the seasonal Shanghai Short rib for my entree and the peach butter cake to finish. Truthfully, I was finished long before the dessert, but had to taste each course. It was delectable!

Our server Frenchie also made it very clear that she's only working for tips - but she wasn't working very hard for them. Not only did she belittle our party for our ages, but also made it our problem for taking our food/drink orders late. One person in our party asked a question regarding an entree on the menu and he was met with a smart remark and little to no detail explaining the entree. Later on in the night when the whole table is done eating - we all decide to help out and clean up the table as best as we can. Frenchie decided it was a good time to make yet another smart remark about stacking the plates on top of each other. She continued to say "Have you ever been a server before?" and before really answering she cut me off to say "well then you should know not to stack the plates because you don't know if the server can handle that many plates" ... as she continued to take the pile of dishes out of my hand. If she can't handle too many plates in her hands, then she should've just waited to clear the table or politely say "i'll come back for those plates in a minute" by the end of it all , the entire table felt very uncomfortable by her demeanor towards us - of course we still tipped because we understand what it's like to make a living off of tips but to have a sour attitude and continually reminding us that you're here for tips isn't a great way of having customers coming back.
