    Spicy lamb & avocado bowl
    Surelyne L.

    It's been a while since I've been to this location. Glad to see that it's changed for the better. It was very busy for 2:30pm on a Saturday...a good sign! The staff were very efficient and friendly. Food was very fresh as they were constantly replenishing items while I was waiting. I've always loved Cava for the food but have been avoiding it because the other location in Cary was very poorly run and not clean. This location is far superior in terms of service and cleanliness. Great place to grab a quick, healthy & delicious bite if you're shopping in the area.

    First time at this location. I got a bowl with greens, grilled chicken and lots of veggies. Everything was fresh and tasted great. I got the Greek dressing and I plan to get it again. The service was good, nice attitude and my order was correct. Drinks are self serve and they have some interesting flavors. The place was clean and they had a nice outdoor seating area. Nice music playing. One of the few places I know to get a good salad!

    The service was great and fast. They got me fresh basmati rice and extra lentils! Loved all of the toppings they offered and they made sure to fill my bowl to the brim!

    The very dirty food area I think the image doesn't do justice for what I saw there

    Worst Cava I've ever been to. The staff is rude, careless, and clearly doesn't want to work. The place is filthy and disgusting, not even a comfortable environment to eat in. The service is awful from start to finish. I will never come back and I don't recommend this location to anyone.

    This meal was too good. I ordered it online and was ready super quick. I love CAVA! Such a good spot

    Chicken + Rice

    The food was really good. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the lady at the register was very rude. She basically threw my bag at me after I paid. She said "here" and threw the bag on the counter. Very nasty attitude. Probably won't go back to this location, but I'll go to a different one and hopefully receive better customer service.

You pick, you mix, you customize, and somehow it all comes together into something genuinely tasty. The Food The Farmhouse Salad and a few of the other signature options are excellent if you want something simple and satisfying right out of the gate. But the real fun is in the mix-and-match. The standard menu combinations are creative and the ingredient pairings work better than you'd expect. What's consistently impressed me most is the freshness. Everything tastes like it was actually prepped that day, which isn't a given at fast-casual spots. I have had to someties further chop down larger components that may not have been chopped with care but that is an easy fix. Pro Tip: If you're watching sodium, be intentional about your dressing choice. Some of them can sneak up on you. Easy fix once you know -- but worth flagging for my fellow low-sodium folks. Logistics: Parking is easy. Prices are reasonable. The only thing keeping me from being a regular is the 20-minute drive from my house, which says more about my laziness than anything about the restaurant. Bottom Line: Fresh ingredients, fun customization, solid value. If you want a healthy fast-casual lunch that doesn't feel like a punishment, Farmside Kitchen delivers. Recommend.

    Will & Well is a great addition to Boxyard if you're looking for a fresh salad, grain bowl, or…read moresmoothie option. The setup is counter service, with a handful of premade salads and bowls on the menu, or you can build your own. The build-your-own option starts at $12.99 and includes your base, five toppings, one crunchy/dry topping, and dressing. Proteins are extra and range from about $4.25-$6.50, with options including tofu, shrimp, chicken, steak, and tuna. I opted for a build-your-own bowl with chicken, which came out to just under $20 before tip. At first, that felt a little pricey to me, but the portion size was absolutely massive. Honestly, it was large enough to easily make two meals, which made the value feel much better. The woman helping me was incredibly friendly and even let me sample three different dressings before deciding. I also appreciated that you can get your dressing on the side if you prefer. All 3 I tried were good, but all very different, and I'm glad I had a chance to try them! One thing to note is that it was fairly warm inside the business, which gave me a little pause considering it's a salad-focused concept. That said, everything tasted fresh and high quality. There were only two employees working during my visit on a Wednesday around 6:30, and with about 4-5 people ahead of me, it took around 20 minutes to place my order, get my bowl made, and check out. The staff was working hard, and being incredibly helpful, but if you're in a hurry, just plan accordingly. Overall, I'd definitely return. It's nice to have a quality salad option at Boxyard, the ingredients were fresh, the portions were generous, and the service was helpful and kind. Just be prepared that there may be a bit of a wait and to spend around $20 if you're adding protein (but you can easily share or make two meals from it!!!) My picture doesn't do the size justice I promise!

You walk in and have a little self-type market area and immediately to the right there are refrigerators with prepared meals to buy and take home. Straight after the Shelf section there is the butcher shop with all cuts of meats. I liked the concept where you could even pick your meats and have the chef cook them there for you and you can dine in! They also had an area for dining in and sitting at a bar. The bar had many choices of drinks and a wine section in the back to the side. There was a patio area as well. I decided to have some lunch so I got the salmon BLT which was delicious and I got the side of hot honey brussel sprouts. I ordered some lasagna to take home for a meal later. The salmon was cooked perfectly at a medium temperature and the flavoring was great. The brussel sprouts had just enough kick to them and was a great portion size for two or more. The lasagna was good and also a good size but it is a little bit spicy so if you dont like spice be prepared for a little tiny bit. All was delish.The pricing for everything is on point and not too expensive. They also have specials most of the days of the week! Peyton helped me with my to go orders and I met Ralph the owner who told me about the concept of everything. I will definitely be back and I would highly recommend! Second time back was wonderful! Sat and dined in. I got the $1 wings special with barbecue, mac and cheese, and salmon salad. The wings were jumbo size which is great because unlike other places they weren't the size of your pinky. The mac and cheese was very flavorful with the small crisp. The salmon salad was neat because it came and deconstructed segments so you could really pick which toppings you wanted on each bite. The dressing on it was amazing and so was the ranch for the wings. I was attended to by Desiah and Liam who were other so personable and lovely! All of the portions are amazing and I love it because I have food for a few days. Definitely going to come back again to try some of the new items that they've added to their menu.

The atmosphere strikes that nice balance between relaxed and refined, where conversation flows without feeling rushed. She went with the filet mignon, cooked medium, and it came out exactly as requested, tender, flavorful, and clearly handled with care. That's what she said. I ordered the chicken pesto entrée, which held its own with a rich, well-balanced flavor that didn't try too hard but delivered where it mattered. Now, the real standout: the Hot Honey Roasted Brussels. Those were done to perfection. Crisp on the outside, tender inside, with just the right touch of sweetness and heat. Frankly, I could eat those daily without a second thought. Service deserves a nod, too. The chef stopped by the table to check in, which we were not expecting. Payton, our server, had a great read on the table, attentive when needed, but gave us the space to enjoy the evening without interruption. That kind of awareness goes a long way, especially on a date. All in, it's the kind of place that quietly does things right. Good food, easy atmosphere, and just enough polish to make the night feel a little special. Definitely a strong choice when you're hoping for a second date that turns into a third.
