    When you walk in, it looks like a knock off of chipotle, but it isn't. The line is the same though, but that's about where it ends. You tell them if you want a bowl or what, white rice or brown, what meat, and then toppings. But there's toppings like different types of hummus, with other overlapping toppings like corn or tomatoes. I appreciated the drink fountain having different sodas than I'm used to, but overall having the air conditioning blowing while there's still ice outside was a definite detractor to my visit. They still give off the appearance of a chipotle knock off, but at least now I know what the differences are

    My fav fast food spot for a quick lunch! The food is always fresh and delicious. I love all the topping and meat choices. There is something for everyone. The staff is always friendly. Even when busy, they get people moving through the line fast.

    I would die for cava. It is always there for me whenever i forget to take out meat to cook dinner. It always hits and is the easiest choice in the family. The service is always top notch.

    SO YUMMY. I LOVED ALL THE OPTIONS AND THE STAFF were super friendly. Let me take my time and helped me talk through al other amazing options. Next time I will be trying the lamb!!

    My husband is out of town and I didn't feel like cooking, but wanted something healthy for my daughters and me. I haven't tried Cava but they rave about it, so we placed an order online and picked it up. I got the greens and grain bowl with lentils and half falafel and half lamb meatballs. I thought the falafel was awesome! I added the super greens, hummus, a bunch of the toppings and the shoog (probably spelling it wrong) dressing and the Greek dressing in case. Loved both of them. The side of pita was nice too, and I used it to scoop up the hummus. I looked at their menu and there are tons of choices, so I'll definitely be back to work my way through the menu.

    I had a mobile order for three different bowls and they were made very quickly and were ready in 10 minutes. My spicy lamb bowl ($14) was mostly made correctly just forgetting to add corn. The lamb meatball were quite good, but seemed a little small( a total of 3 meatball? and could've definitely had another one or two in addition. Overall flavors were quite good, I personally tried a bunch of toppings and sauce that didn't mesh well (my fault for mixing to many things) but amazing by themselves.

    I so wanted to love this place because my husband gets food from here all the time and raves about it. I was so disappointed, I spend $22 on a lamb bowl with pita chips and a drink and the portion was so little. I was hungry 2 hours later. Maybe I just caught them on a bad day. I will stick with chipotle.

    So good! I've been a CAVA fan for years, since I first tried it in DC. If they delivered then I'd probably eat it every day.

    Food is accessional as well as drinks! In my opinion it is a bit over priced $10-$15 per person for a pita

    In my opinion, CAVA is the best fast casual restaurant in Richmond! I love their grains and greens bowl and all of their juices.

    Back again, fantastic as always. Our server Brandon was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive…read more Started with fried green tomatoes, one of our favorite appetizers. They're so good! I had the braised beef short ribs, which were melt-in-your -mouth. Paired with garlic mashed potatoes, roasted root veg, and some of the best collard greens I've ever had. He had the fried chicken with hot honey, garlic mashed potatoes, and more collard greens. That fried chicken was so crispy and delicious. Had the peach cobbler bread pudding for dessert, and it was an EXPERIENCE. The only thing that would have made the meal better was some of the slab bacon, but we'll know to come for breakfast or lunch for that next time!

    Farm and Oak has been on my list and I finally made it!…read more My husband and I wanted to have lunch out and picked Farm and Oak because we haven't visited this restaurant. They have a very limited menu at lunch so you have a few appetizers to choose from, a few salads and sandwiches and burgers, so straight up American food. It does skew southern with crab cake sandwich, pimento cheese and fried chicken. For an appetizer we decided to try the wings. They were good and came with ranch drizzled over the wings. For entrees my husband got their farm & oak burger with Cole slaw and I got their wedge salad with fried chicken. Both were good. The salad was nice and cold and crisp, which was appreciated on such a hot day. It did have too much dressing so next time I might ask for less dressing or have it on the side. I enjoyed the food, service was good and it is a pretty restaurant. I'll probably come back for supper some time to try some of their more in-depth meals.

I had this place in my bookmark for some time now, and I was very pleased with almost everything! I was very satisfied with our meal overall, I would say the mac n cheese while well seasoned, was slightly over cooked, there were some hardened pieces of noodles in the mix. Now the customer service was great, I didn't catch the gentlemen's name who was working alone, but he was very friendly and attentive! Unfortunately the cleanliness can be better we had to wipe down our own sitting area and the floors were kinda sticky. Granted there was only one person working, so maybe that could be the reason? Overall I would come back, maybe try the downtown location next.

This place is located in a shopping center as a standalone location. Parking is plentiful as well as the interior seating. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Ordering is done through a kiosk at the counter and if you need to customize anything after ordering speaking to the staff is not a problem. I ordered the chicken tenders that come with a side. The meal which came with five tenders and I got the crinkle cut fries. For sauce, I got the honey mustard, mambo sauce, and the hot honey. The food came out hot. The chicken tenders were crispy and well seasoned. The fries were hot and crispy. Of the sauces, I liked the honey mustard the best, but that's usually my go to when I get chicken tenders. If I am ever in this area again, I will definitely stop by this location. Highly recommend.
