    Tangerine Aleppo -- Delicious

    Ordered a pickup for 5:15pm on 5/24 and arrived 5 minutes early. The team at drive through window were so kind and sped to get us our order early!! Fabulous food and service!

    In true Cava fashion this place is excellent. Being new they still have some kinks to work out. The staff is super friendly, but whether you are using the online ordering or popping inside make sure you give extra time. My avocado harissa bowl was SOOOO GOOD. The inside is spacious and set up like most other locations. If you love good food or Cava definitely check out this location.

    Food was absolutely amazing and feeling. It was full of flavor, bright and colorful with all the veggies available. The food area was clean without food spillage from one container to the next. The tables were fairly clean as well. The only reason for not getting a five star is customer service needs improvement. They had workers who did not understand or speak English, who were trying to follow the recipe cards and did not understand. I suppose it was the manager who cashed us out he said they only had one size of drink, but clearly there were two sizes of cups on the counter. When you spend $90 for a family of four, I expect everything to be top-notch.

    Finally tried it. I ordered the make your own bowl. I put supergreens,arugula,hummus,tzatziki sauce,grilled chicken,roasted veggies,fire roasted corn, cabbage slaw and yogurt dill dressing. Also tried the blueberry lavender drink. Everything was delicious. We went at lunch time so everything was fresh and they were super busy. The staff were very nice. Can't wait to return and try other items. I've already been twice lol.

    They are building a Cava by our house, so I was interested in what their food was like. We love Mediterranean food, so we gave them a try! About 10+ visits later, we are super fans! We love Cava!! The portions are usually very reasonable for the price! The service is usually good and the taste of the food is usually delicious!! I normally get the Steak + Harissa Bowl as is, but lately I've been creating my own steak bowl! I can't wait for the one closer to us to open!

    Yuck

    I was actually looking forward to coming here and I am surprisingly shocked at how horrible the quality is. The chicken is grizzly, chewy and fat The vegetables include hard, brown big chunks of brussels sprouts and broccoli stems and they are not edible. Broccoli stems are like chewing bark. When I brought it up with the manager, all he kept saying is they prepared this all at the main cafeteria rather than providing customer service . If you're looking for high-quality food, this is not the place. This is another franchise chain, massive production low quality eatery. I'm done with this place I won't ever be returning And after bringing this up with the manager, he never once offered any kind of customer service consolation nothing to remediate the issue. he's clearly untrained

    This is gonna be good and bad review. First of all, the food was fantastic! First time coming here, the food was impressive. The vibe was nice. Very trendy spot. Now the service. That wasn't great. You have a MEDITERRANEAN restaurant, with HISPANIC workers, that couldn't read the cards for the different food products in ENGLISH. That makes no sense. And the fact that they couldn't read the cards, we were in line for too long. Get some cards that they can read so they can understand what they are doing, and the line goes faster. Also the guy in front of us lied right to our faces about having one size cups when they had large and small cups right in front. Fix those things, and it will be 5 star next time.

    I love the concept of the restaurant because there's nothing like it in the area, but I didn't like…read morethe food. I love catfish. I could tell they have the catfish batter recipe correct by the smell, but it was another story when I tasted the fish. The aftertaste was better than the initial taste. If you like salty catfish, this is your place. Maybe I got a bad batch, but there was more salt than flavoring. I tried the salad next. You would think that fresh ingredients would equal a good salad. I was wrong. Maybe I got a bad batch, but it did not taste good. Maybe because the salad had a seasoning on top. I don't know, but I love salad but I could not finish this salad. I love the fact they made their own dressing in house.

Drinks were $3 no refill and just…read moreoverall over priced for what we got, barely got any ketchup to go with the fries, strawberry fusion taste like water down cranberry. Everything was made to order but just didn't hit. Mom came a few years ago and paid 20 for a salad with only 2 topping and wasn't impressed. We tried again today and disappointed

    House dressing is a balanced light herb flavor in a creamy base. Delicious complement to the tasty salad.

These days it's hard to find a "bargain burger" anywhere under $20, but Firebirds has a huge selection so you can actually find something that fits your budget without sacrificing quality. I was also really impressed with the service. Our waitress knew the entire menu from memory and was able to answer every question and make great recommendations without missing a beat. You could tell she really knew the food and cared about the experience. Great burger, lots of choices, and excellent service. I'll definitely be coming back!

    Firebird Grill was a decent experience overall, though not necessarily somewhere I'd personally…read morereturn to given the number of dining options in Nashville. I visited with my parents during their last trip to town since the restaurant happened to be nearby. Upon walking in, the decor felt a little confusing. The menu clearly presents the restaurant as a grill, but the interior still seemed heavily influenced by what may have previously been an Asian restaurant space. The renovation didn't feel entirely cohesive, which made the atmosphere a bit disjointed. That said, the staff was very friendly, and we were seated quickly. Throughout the meal, however, there seemed to be an underlying sense of stress among the staff that was noticeable despite their efforts to remain professional and attentive. It created a slightly uncomfortable atmosphere at times. For dinner, we ordered the filet with broccoli and French fries, while another guest ordered a salad. Unfortunately, the salad had to be sent back because it arrived with blue cheese despite a requested omission due to an allergy. Thankfully, the issue was corrected. The filet itself was cooked to the requested temperature, and overall the food was fine, but nothing particularly stood out as memorable. Everything was acceptable, though not especially remarkable. Overall, Firebird Grill may work well for larger groups or families looking for a convenient, casual meal, but with so many standout restaurants in Nashville, it's probably not a place I'd personally revisit.

    This place has been on my list for several months now so I stopped at the Buona in Murfreesboro on…read morethe way home from Cookeville. To give them a fair shake at a comparison to Chicago, I ordered two iconic Chicago staples, an Italian Beef and a Chicago Dog. First the beef, I ordered it with hot giardiniera and dipped. The beef was tender, flavorful and the peppers packed a pleasant heat. The bread was sturdy had a good flavor as well. Considering we are outside of Chicago, I'd go 4.5 stars. The Chicago dog looked and tasted legit complete with the neon green relish. For the dog I'd also go 4.5 stars. Seems like Murfreesboro might be sleeping on this great spot cause I was there at 6:30 on a Sunday evening and it wasn't packed. Highly recommend this spot when you are in the Boro to get your Chicago fix, it deserves our support!

    Be prepared to read a magazine article length review of this establishment. Usually I do not review…read morechain or franchise restaurants, but this was so good, I made an exception. I was intrigued by a mail brochure, then their video. I like the place VERY much. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because I reserve those for Italian restaurants with table cloths, vino, attentive waiters and opera playing in the back ground. It is based on FOUR visits because I liked it so much and did not want to give an incomplete review. First will be a detailed list of the dishes we tried and then I will get o ambiance and service at the very end. Here goes the food review first. Chicago Hot Dog. I'm not from Chicago and only know the signature food by reputation but my wife and I were impressed. The bun was very good with the poppy seed on the outside. Holding its own was a nice hot dog through the additional dressings. I ordered mine with the hot gardenia. It was delicious but instead of a vinegar base, it was a nice olive oil. French Fries Our family recognizes my wife as our resident expert on quality fries. She rated these as among the best she has ever eaten. I agreed with her that that they were crispy outside and fluffy inside. She added comments that they held up on the plate as she ate. Being crinkle cut, those fries tend to get soggy, but these retained their crispness through out. Chicago Beef Visiting their website you will see how they prepare their beef for meal. My wife indicated that it was fairly standard, but I drew me in. Admittedly, I have only tried a few of this type of sandwich. The things I liked about it was that it was juicy without soaking the roll and plate. It also had a nice flavor. Pasta On the wall in the store is a sign advertising that the pasta is fresh, never dried and that peaked my interest. Signature Rigatoni Marinara was the menu Item I chose and felt like it was one of the best pasta dishes I have ever enjoyed. Thin, long pastas are classified by a number indicating their thickness. I could not find such a classification for rigatoni. While I may be a bit of an engineer, I studied the wall thickness of this pasta. Compared to what I buy in the grocery store, this had a thicker wall. It is important because the pasta was cooked al dente. The mouth feel of the thicker pasta and feel to the tooth was great. Do not feel I am discounting the sauce, but it was one of the best I think southern Italy would offer. Brownie On a whim, I grabbed a brownie because my wife did not want to stop at a candy store for me to get chocolate to go with my bourbon at home. It was light in texture, but incredibly full of quality chocolate flavor. It was great taste for taste, sip for sip. Beef and Gardenia Pizza Our fourth visit to justify my rating was with my wife, adult son and I. Surprisingly, she ordered the pizza choice because it was unique, Neither of us had gardenia on a pizza. Their Tavern Pizza is 10" and cut checkerboard style, not wedges, which was fine by us. The one pizza was enough for my wife and I. We both agreed that the Marinara sauce was the same as on the pasta. The pie was loaded with toppings. In fact, it was hard to get a true taste of the crust. It was also so loaded that she commented that it was a good thing we ate in the dining room instead of taking it home. If we took it home, she suggested, the copious toppings would totally soak the crust. Gardenia served here is in olive oil, not vinegar. As such, it gave a nice flavor to the pie. I thought my wife ordered extra cheese, but, no. That thick blanket is standard. The blend of toppings was just wonderful and the gardenia was just spicy enough. Margherita Pizza All pizza restaurants are judged by their Margherita pizza as far as my son goes. This pie was not traditional, so he simply gave it a "good" evaluation. He would rather get this pizza at other restaurants, but if he came back here, he would order it. Among his comments were that normally tomato slices were on the pizza, but this one had the diced tomatoes in this. Also, all the basil, while tasty was just piled up in the center instead of strewn all over the top. Now for service and ambiance. Of my trips, I was there a few times shortly after they opened for the day and once during a very busy time. Both times, the meal came out in a timely basis and the meals very fresh. On one trip, I ordered beer. The counter person was underage, and left to find a manager to complete the order. She was not clear in diction and we did not know why she left, but it was O Being new, it was very clean. Ambiance is very bright and well lit. Large windows give a good view of the area. Promotional signs and posters are informative and appropriate.
