    Had Cava delivered through Uber eats many times and portion wise and service its always been prompt. Decided to stop by this location being that I was by the area and was kinda disappointed to see and enjoy. When ordering the portions were very different to what Ive had delivered. The rice was hard and probably was the bottom of the pot which hurt my teeth every time I took a bite. The salmon portion was very skimpy. My son really wanted Salmon but he's very picky so for him its better to order the kids meal. Nobody said salmon couldn't be served until we arrived at the register. When he said kids meals couldn't be of salmon we said wed pay extra for the side of salmon. We got charged for a FULL BOWL. What a robbery. Never got our pita slice with our bowl. The food bar was a mess. Do not recommend this Cava If youre looking for what Cava is supposed to be like. Ambiance = clean your own table.

    I ordered ahead and just picked up. The salad itself is good and fresh. Service is like a 3 considering I specifically requested utensils and napkins and neither was included. I am getting lunch and it really isn't convenient to not be provided with utensils.

    This was my first time at Cava. I've heard a ton of positive feedback from friends, so I decided to give them a shot. This location used to be a Zoe's Kitchen, which was one of my favorite restaurants in the area. It stinks that they're gone, but that's the nature of the business. I read that Cava took over all of their locations (there's even a Cava about five minutes from my house). The place was very clean, even during the lunch rush, which tells me they really pay attention to detail. I tried the steak and harissa bowl with brown rice and power greens as the base. Let me tell you......it was delicious. The fresh veggies and the combination of all the ingredients were amazing. I'm definitely going to get this bowl again on my next visit, but I'll try the lamb meatballs as the protein. Why 4 stars instead of 5? The steak was very overcooked. It was still edible and nicely seasoned, but too tough for me. I'll definitely update this review after my next visit.

    I love me some CAVA, do you hear! I've been coming to CAVA for years, and they do not disappoint. In the very beginning, I would get some of their pre-made bowls, but shortly thereafter, I just started customizing my own bowls. I don't typically eat in-store, but the few times I have over varying locations, the service/staff have been kind, efficient, and accommodating with requests. The stores tend to be clean, and depending on the timeframe, they are usually quiet and pleasant places to dine alone or with others. During their peak times, the restaurant is fairly busy and I've even seen lines outside the door - but thankfully, they usually move pretty quickly. Overall, the service is good and quick. As far as the food itself goes, it is good and fresh, which for a primarily health-based cuisine restaurant is VITAL to the experience. I typically get a grains and greens bowl or an all greens bowl with chicken, extra feta, extra pita crisps, corn, pickled onions, tomatoes, and onions, and a side of pita chips. I usually alternate between the lemon herb dressing and Balsamic Date Vinaigrette, but both are great. Sometimes I add hummus to my order, but that is not usually my go-to since I tend to eat my pita chips alone without anything to dip them in. Also, I LOVE LOVE LOVE when they offer their garlic pita chips, because I always opt for those, but the regular ones are just as tasty. Sometimes, I get one of their juices/lemonades, but that usually depends on my mood. Price points are reasonable. They also have a membership/point system that you can sign up for to earn freebies throughout a period. All in all, I enjoy CAVA. It's a go-to lunch (and sometimes dinner) spot for me. I recommend them to just about everyone. Definitely pay them a visit if you have not done so already.

    We came to CAVA for lunch and really enjoyed it! The staff at this location was super friendly and was able to assist with any questions we had. The food was tasty and fresh! The restaurant was clean, and had seating both inside and outside. Since it was a such a nice day, we decided to enjoy our bowls on their patio! They also had plenty of shade and umbrellas on the patio as well. Definitely will be returning next time we are in the area!!

    I mean come on Cava. 6pm and 1 person on the line with 20 customers waiting?  Bless her heart.

    They started off pretty good but now it just a Greek Chipotle! Does management take off at 5pm?

    Literally my favorite restaurant EVER! The food is fantastic, there isn't a wrong option. The service was pretty good as well.

    I made an order in advance for pick up time of 2:30pm. It's now 2:57 pm and I'm still waiting in line for my order. There were 8 individuals that came in after me that went through the line, left and/or are currently eating. I'm confused? Maybe the concept of "pick up" is lost here. There's another gentleman who's pickup order was for 3:45 pm... he's okay with the wait... I'm not . I was actually in line and the young lady attempted to make my order and was told to handle the others in line. Due to the fact that I had "pick-up" I was needed to stand to the side. It's 3:12 and I'm headed home with my food. I had to request the pita bread that goes as a side although it was on my order.

    I like this Cava, but they never have enough people staffed. I don't mind waiting a little bit, but I feel bad since other customers get mad and don't like waiting. I will say, they almost always forget the side with my order, they are overwhelmed and I get that, the entree is always right and I never have an issue. The food is always good and fresh and even hot! They just need more help making the orders and then I think it would be the best.

    This is my first time here, so far, very satisfied with the options for the menu with the staff, and of course with the food. I got an individual bowl, and I love the options that they have as well as their dressings and dips. This is perfect for a more healthy option other than the regular, however, you can make it as high carb or healthy as you wish. The place is also very clean lots of spots available in good music.

After spending a day at a theme park and eating their options, it was nice to "clean" your body out with a good and healthy salad. Located on Sand Lake road near Publix and multiple eateries, this place has a wide selection of salads, sandwiches, and a limited selection of soups. Ambiance: 3.5 Stars The place was clean and has plentiful seating. Ranging from bar style or bench and tables. It is Deli style when ordering. Go to the back and select the type of salads, rice / couscous, soups, or sandwiches. There are pre-fixed options or you can build your own bowl. The eatery was clean, open and airy. Natural lighting was pleasant with the large front windows. It would have been a higher star rating for the ambiance, but the bathrooms needed some work. Though it was clean and roomy, there was no soap and limited toilet paper. Staff: 3.5 Stars Deli The employees were friendly and professional. Our server assisted us with questions and our selections. However, with the middle Eastern dialect and his ability to speak at a rate of the sound barrier, he had to repeat a few times for us to understand. Note: His patience was much appreciated. Food: 3.75 Stars We all chose several different salads. Three were pre-fixed and one was customized. 1. Shanghai Chicken Salad - 3.5 Stars Roasted chicken, edamame, scallions, almonds, cilantro, red cabbage, romaine perfectly paired with miso sesame vinaigrette Contains: Nuts, Soy I chosen the chopped romaine leaves as the base. It was light and flavorful from the dressing. However the chicken was a little bit overcooked and dry. The condiments were plentiful and fresh. Though it was good and had protein, I felt somewhat satisfied. I could eaten another bowl. 2. Chicken Shawarma - 4 Stars Blackened diced chicken thigh, kale, hummus, baba ghanoush, pickles, Israeli salad with Greek yogurt and tahini dressing. The based options are rice melody or couscous. I chose the rice melody. This bowl was more satisfying than the Shanghai Chicken Salad. The chicken tasted juicy, tender and flavorful. Choosing a thigh instead of breast brings the umami flavor of the chicken. The fresh veggies and tahini dressing was a perfect match for this option. 3. Santa Fe Salad - 3.5 Stars avocado, corn, local jack & cheddar, grape tomatoes, onions, tortilla chips, local kale, romaine, perfectly paired with chipotle-lime vinaigrette with a fresh lime squeeze. My sister added chicken thigh and avocado Chimichurri dressing. She said it was tasty. 4. South Beach - 3 Stars craisins, walnuts, green apples, blue cheese, local mesclun, romaine, perfectly paired with balsamic vinaigrette. My wife added chicken and swapped the walnuts for pumpkin seeds. The diced breast chicken was slightly dry and seasoning was lacking. The salad itself was good but wasn't too satisfying. 5. Customized Salad - 3.25 Stars My niece chose to customize her salad bowl. She chose chicken, romaine lettuces, shaved Parmesan cheese, cucumbers, edamame, and other veggie ingredients. She chose the avocado Chimichurri dressing which she liked. NOTE: they offer breakfast items and coffee. Selection of various drinks are from a deli refrigerator and they carry some Kombucha options too. Enjoy!

    The first time I ever went to a Just Salad was for a Yelp Elite thing at the Winter Park location…read more I feel like there are more and more of these locations popping up and I'm excited for them because it's so good! This time around I went to the Waterford Lakes location. I love that there is ample seating here and the wall art is beautiful. The menu has expanded quite a bit! Me and my friend ordered two different bowls. Mine was the sweet heat bowl with chicken and it was actually the perfect amount sweet and heat! Everyone working was very friendly, especially when my friend went to grab the trays after we paid and the bowls slipped right off and fell on the ground completely. We felt soooooo bad but they cleaned it up and redid the bowls which I wasn't expecting but was forever grateful that they did. My only comment is if there is a way to get bowls that don't easily slip and slide on the tray, that would be great. We sat and ate and hung out there for a while. Even though we were the only ones that had a bowl slip and mess, we noticed we weren't the only people commenting on how slippery the trays/bowls (not sure which) are. Aside from that, great experience and excellent food!

The bag also did not include any utensils so that was inconvenient. If you need some make sure to add a note on online delivery services.

We got there on a Wednesday night around 5:30 and it was fairly steady, but there was still plenty of seating. They don't have many individual tables. A lot of their seating is open style seating so you could be at a table with multiple other people. They do have outdoor seating as well, but where the outdoor seating is located is also the side of sun sets on, so it definitely gets warm. I chose a pre-designed salad, the southwest salad. It's a mix of spring greens with corn kernels, black beans, tortilla strips, and a jalapeño avocado ranch dressing. I did opt to put chicken on mine so that does increase the price a little bit because you do have to pay for protein. Overall, the salad was really good very fresh and the chicken definitely tasted like it was cooked fresh as well. I will say the bathroom situation is a little odd as they are unisex bathrooms, but there are only two of them in the building. One of them each time I went up to try to use the restroom was consistently locked, so I'm not sure if it was out of order but it was locked each time I went up. On a busy day - having just two bathroom stalls seems like a design flaw. My biggest complaint is the parking situation. The small strip mall has not only this location but a coffee shop and a tea shop in it as well as a Pilates studio and the parking lot is just simply too small to support all of that business. I ended up parking on the side street because it was so much easier versus trying to fight to find a parking spot.

They have only four carb bases and four veggie bases to choose from so it's really hard to be indecisive about what you want. There are pre selected menu options or you can just make your own salad as I chose today. My mix; brown rice, spinach, cucumbers, carrots, pickled onion, and purple cabbage with blacked chicken, thai and jalapeño dressing with wonton crisps. You can also see my drink they have what's basically "Aguas Frescas" options. I got the pomegranate lemon mixed with rishi black tea. But if you don't like tart and sour like me they had two other options on the sweeter side. Perks: Drinks are self serve, you can sample the dressings, and there's no cheat menu options that make you feel guilty for trying to be healthy. Con: The only con is that like any salad place it isn't a load of chicken but it is a still a good amount of protein. If you're looking for cheap protein stick to Chipotle.
