    My mom and I had a greens and grain bowl with a pita on the side. My mom had the grilled steak, and I had the chicken. We both really enjoyed our entrees. It is fabulous that they have so many choices of sauces. They have a good variety that you can really try something different each time. Everything was very fresh, and it was also filling as well. I was surprised to see so many customers, or perhaps it was a group of people from an organization or something. The food, however, is great, and I'll be back to try other sauces!

    My online order which clearly does not list chicken.

    I ordered a salad bowl online and specifically said asked for no chicken. I attached the online order for this review. When I got home and opened the order, it's filled with chicken. For medical reasons, I can't eat chicken. The people who made my order clearly didn't read it at all or completely disregarded it. I can only imagine what this place would do if someone was trying to avoid a life threatening allergy. This was a waste of my time and money.

    The tiny piece of salmon they are calling a filet.

    Could not believe the salmon they were serving that they called a "filet". I never leave reviews unless the food is really bad or really good and this time it's really bad. Charging $4.25 for the salmon, and they gave me salmon on ozempic. -1

    Been to the location near Aliana a couple of times since their opening. Food wise a lot of variety compared to other similar places - variety of toppings, sauces and main dish choices. However I felt the portions were small compared to their competitor nearby even if you chose to add extra rice for an example. Customer service is good, got my order quick and the employees were courteous in each visit. I have not eaten inside however decent amount of space between inside and outside. Very clean atmosphere as well. It's a good alternative if you went to other places that offered similar style of food though it felt a bit pricey for the small portions.

    A usual regular here, food is awesome. Portions are amazing. Made a salad bowl with extra grilled chicken. So flavorful, and worth the bang for your buck. Great customer service, very welcoming staff. 10/10

    I frequent this location often since I work across the street. The food is always fresh, and the restaurant is SO clean; tables, floors, and the drink station are always immaculate. Glory, who works the front, is awesome. She is so fast and friendly!

    I'm so glad I discovered this CAVA location! The restaurant was spotless, and the food was both fresh and hot. I tried the new spicy chicken, and it did not disappoint--great flavor! Definitely recommend giving it a try.

    went to @cava, I am a fan of rice bowls as it is, wanted to give theirs a try. they have multiple bowl options on the menu, and an option to make your own, I went with the make your own. since this place is not halal, so my meal here was all vegetarian. so my bowl consisted of Saffron Rice, Harissa, Red Pepper Hummus, Roast Veggies, Falafel, Fiery Broccoli, Pickled Onions, Olives, Tomato's & Cucumbers, Pita Crisps, topped with Hot Harissa Vinegarette and Skhug Sauces. Overall the good was amazing, generous portion size, very flavorful, the harissa had a kick to it. it just all went well together. definitely a great spot to check out.

    Kids pita bowl

    Having dined at this place four times now, I can attest to the fact that their pita and salad bowls are truly delightful. The flavors are consistently excellent, and each visit has left me satisfied with the taste and quality of the food. While some have noted concerns about portion sizes, I found them adequate, especially considering the rich flavors. However, where this establishment falls short is in its customer service. On each visit, I experienced frustratingly slow service. The staff seemed unprepared to answer basic questions and often spoke in such low voices that communication was difficult. During busy periods, they appeared overwhelmed and inefficient, leading to long wait times even for simple tasks like warming up pita bread. Moreover, the cleaning of tables was haphazard at best, with staff seemingly oblivious to the need for prompt attention after a group left. Overall, the pace of service was sluggish, detracting from the overall dining experience. Despite these shortcomings, the restaurant's popularity speaks volumes about the quality of its food. It's evident that many patrons are willing to overlook the service issues in favor of the delicious cuisine. However, if the establishment hopes to retain its customer base and attract new patrons, significant improvements in staff training and efficiency are essential. In conclusion, while the food at this restaurant is undeniably excellent, the lackluster service leaves much to be desired. With some attention to training and operational efficiency, this establishment has the potential to truly shine.

    Amazing service. There's always a line. Just when there's about 2 people left in the line, more people start coming in. Well-lit, clean, simple and modern atmosphere. There's also some outdoor seatings to enjoy. Side note, some customers don't know how to clean up after themselves so for god sake... toss out your trash when you're done so others can use the table/chairs to dine-in! For those whose never been to Cava. You go in the line, choose between building your bowl and/or pita wrap or choose from the menu (refer to my menu photos). Build your own bowl/pita wrap starts at $11.25. Some proteins (such as Harissa Honey Chicken) are extra. It's almost like Chipotle, Halal Guys, Gyro King, and Piada where you pick what you want in your bowl/pita wrap but Mediterranean style. Healthier option than many American fast food restaurants. Drinks are made in the house but there's also typical soda fountain options. Food was delicious! You get 1-2 scoops of each item, depending who is in charge of which station. It doesn't matter what you pick to be honest. I haven't had any bad choices. Meats are at room temperature. You can ask dip and sauce on the sides; I always opt to have the sauce on the sides. The speed of the line will vary, depending on prior customers. But no worries, the staffs are friendly. For all you tree-nut and peanut allergens, none of their sauce/dips contain any peanuts/tree-nuts!!! Yay. Although I don't have a tree-nut/peanut allergy, it's a pain and I totally understand.

    Love there Mediterranean takeout food items. Great place to grab a quick semi-healthy meal.

    Harissa avocado bowl was great. Large portion.
    Diana N.

    I have been a fan of CAVA. I used to go there in Austin. I usually build my own bowl, but the harissa avocado bowl ($15.15) seemed to include everything I'd normally get. (Harissa honey chicken, feta, crazy feta, hummus, avocado (half an avocado!), corn, cucumber, pickled onions (yum!), basmati rice, greens, harissa vinaigrette.) Seems a bit pricey but it is a large portion. It was 2 small meals for me. Bf ate his whole bowl though. I got the harissa vinaigrette (red sauce) on the side because it's spicy! Build your own starts at $11.25. I'm not sure when this location opened but it seems new and it's pretty busy. The line was long but it moved fast. I did see a lot of people take it to-go or pick-up. Parking was a little challenging too (i parked close to Whataburger) . There was enough seating inside though, and there were some tables outside.

    I've waited for months for my local Cava restaurant to open and today is the day. The Mediterranean styled eatery is one of my favorite places for healthier fast food options. As with most Cava locations, the restaurant is very bright with lots of windows and natural lighting. The staff behind the counter is friendly, patient and efficient with keeping the line moving. I especially enjoy having both gains and greens to select for "build your own bowl". My choice today was half and half chicken (spicy and roasted) which is always great. This is simply the first of many more visits.

The restaurant is very clean. The bathroom has a code in order to get in which is a different way go. We got bacon cheese burger with tots and hickory burger with fries. I really wanted a fried chicken sandwich but they only have grilled chicken sandwiches. They offered to use chicken tenders but I declined and went with a burger instead. Ketchup is kept cold. I like that. Bacon cheeseburger was fine. The burgers appear to be frozen patties. The bacon was salty and cooked well, not too crispy and not floppy. The lettuce was shredded, could've used more. They put both mayo & mustard on their burgers. The hickory burger was ok. You couldn't really taste the bbq sauce. Tots were cooked extra crispy. Luckily that's how I like them but most customers probably would've preferred less crispy; like my husband. The crinkle fries were also a little too crispy for husband. Not too crispy for me. Overall the meal wasn't bad. It's what you'd expect for a small family grill. Fairly priced for the economy we are in. Two combo burger meals ran us $30.

The wait time was as expected for that amount of people to come in. I had the fire roasted salmon and I loved it. It was a great contrast of differing textures and flavors. It was a lot better than I expected. The portion for me was perfect, I was full and satisfied by the end of it. They do an excellent job in trying to accommodate everyone and they made an effort to regularly check in. This place has that woody, western vibe to it. Definitely a little pricey on certain menu items but aside from that a good time overall.

    The evening started out great, but quickly went downhill. Our server, Lexus was polite, friendly,…read morehelpful, energetic and very pleasant. She took our drink orders, food orders and then everything seemed to fall apart. She returned several times, but mentioned that she was tied up handling several large drink orders and that was the last we saw of her. The food was delivered by other servers. As you can see, the fried catfish fillets were burnt on the outside, but the fish was undercooked inside and had raw (uncooked) portions inside. Not a pleasant surprise. We later learned that Lexus had left for the day and we were left on our own, so to speak. No drink refills for the nearly three hours we were there. Finally, we had to get up and find someone to help us and get our checks. When I was able to pay I requested a receipt, which I never received. Lastly, when we were leaving, someone was mopping the walkway and left puddles of water in the walk, which posed a slip hazard for our group of elderly individuals. When we told a server about the water in the walkway, she told us that she knew it was wet, because she just mopped it. Not an answer you want to hear. All in all, a very unimpressive experience.

    There were 6 of us. All American burger…read moreLoco moco Lumberjack pancake taco Bison burger Fish and chips Grilled cheese and tomato soup Candied bacon Cajun fries Bao Burger was amazing. It's double meat, i missed that but it was super juicy Loco moco is nothing like the traditional Hawaiian dish but still very good Fish was so crunch and juicy. Definitely coming back for that I didn't try the bison burger but several in the party enjoyed, one said needed salt The lumberjack tacos were reallllly good!! There was a little too much bread and less bacon/cheese for the combo but the tomato soup was so rich a delicious Cajun fries had way too much sour, assuming there was a lot of lemon in the seasoning, won't try again Bao was good. The kids loved. I've had better Candied bacon came out cold but still good but would have been better hot. Had a variety of desserts. Top pics for us was, cookies, s'mores brownie, cheesecake.

I will say that lazy dog management team Chris reached out almost immediately to address the issues that were had and make it right. customer service does go a long way. we will def be back. hopefully today was just a fluke

You walk up to the front and you order which is really easy inconvenient. The staff was nice but not over friendly at all. And when you asked for something extra, they made you feel like you were bothering them. To me that is not good customer service My friend got the double meat Rodeo burger and I got the regular cheeseburger. We both got the combo which came with french fries and a drink. Our order took about 12 minutes to be completed and they called our number and we picked it up. We did have to ask for a fork and napkins as they were not out or available for us. At first look, everything looked really good so I was really excited to try this. Unfortunately, the burgers were super greasy. I personally do not enjoy eating a burger and grease running down my arms. That is just my personal opinion, but the burgers were really greasy. The french fries tasted stale and not very fresh. They were edible, but I would've liked to have had fresher french fries that were really fresh. The drink drinks were actually very good and very fresh and perfect on the combination of syrup and carbonation. I think I would possibly try this establishment again and try their hotdog, but as for the burger, they were way too greasy and weren't anything real special.
