    Employee Ivan A... On his Phone while I waited for the extra sauces I ordered.
    Caesar C.

    Reason for the 1 Star.... Ivan A. has been working at this location for a while now, and his service has been consistently terrible. He's rude, lazy, and prioritizes his phone over customers. I've visited this place multiple times in the past few months, but the service has been consistently terrible when Ivan is working. Today, he had an attitude and was rude when I placed my initial order. I went back to order two extra sauces, and he made me wait about five minutes because he was on his phone. When he finally brought me the sauces I ordered, they were less than half full. It was clear that he was more focused on his phone than on doing his job. Restaurant was empty and it took over 20 minutes for my order to come out. This location was not that clean today but Ivan had plenty of time to be in his Phone and lean on the counter!!! Check out the picture I posted... PROOF!!!

    Chicken sandwich

    We tried the new buffalo chicken sandwich and the cauliflower garlic Parmesan fries. Both tasted good as far as flavor. The service was friendly. We ordered online but when we got there our stuff wasn't ready. The ambiance inside is somewhat loud, they music playing in the background. A lot of parking and it wasn't very busy for it being 6pm

    Came here to grab lunch on a Friday afternoon and this place definitely hit the spot. Got a shake that was thick, delicious, and filling. First time here and the lady in the front made recommendations based on my liking and she mentioned the pineapple jalapeño chicken and it was a home run. Plenty of seating inside and they have TVs which were showing sport highlights. Good spot for lunch will definitely be back.

    I would give a 0 star if I could but anyway super rude took almost 30 mins just to get 10 wings

    Git bomb, like am ngl the food comes fast and the food is good that's all I'll say. Nvm I have to say more for the review to be posted.

    The Buffalo Spot, South Gate, CA 1/23/22... very hot was flavorful. Go hotter if you need a real kick, though.

    OVERALL The Buffalo Spot in the humble little South Gate, CA, has decent game day mood food. RATING BREAKDOWN | Food: 4 | Service: 5 | Environment: 4 | Price: 4 | PARKING It's in a plaza with a few other eateries nearby. Free parking. Just be careful. The area can be a bit congested with the 710 freeway ramps just up the street. LOCATION/AMBIANCE This Spot sits across from ALDI. The indoor eating space is limited, however, it was clean. They had both NFL divisional playoff games playing they day I was in (1/23/22). I am glad they let those boys play without COVID face masks on... THE GRUB Large buffalo fries $13.78 (tax included). "Very hot" was still flavorful. No grisly pieces of chicken, thank you! The fries were hot, but not as crispy as I would have liked. Next time, I would go hotter for a real kick, though. Someone on Instagram told me to try mango habanero. We'll see... SERVICE The young lady who helped me was welcoming, helpful and communicative with all the customers. MY FAVORITE PART... Chicken smothered in buffalo sauce... NOT SO FAVORITE PART... Very hot was not "very" hot to me. Thanks, Dad, for starting me out on spicy foods before I could even walk. Lol. TIP Online ordering is available, but they're pretty fast for in-person orders. #TheBuffaloSpot #BuffaloFries #SouthGateCA #GreaterLARestaurants #jenniinsocal #YelpLA #ChickenShop

    Try their peppermint chip shake ($5) full of festive vibes. Mint chocolate topping is super lovely and you get a little sweet candy cane too. My favorite savory item here is buffalo fries ($10/REG). OMG The chicken portion is VERY generous! I went for mango habanero and original bbq flavors - extremely nice. Try also boneless wings ($9/5pcs), these lovely & super tender and juicy little wings will make you happy. IIRC you can get 60c/pc on Tuesday. I love garlic parmesan flavor on this menu. You get some parmesan sprinkled on top of the chickens! They also have A LOT of variety of soft drinks too! And do check out the sauces - they go really well with the burger.

These many people can only mean one thing, that the food is delicious! I loved their huge menu with food for anyone's tastes. As a Pescatarian it's hard to find salmon at Mediterranean food places and Green Olive had several plates to choose salmon and shrimp. I ordered their Salmon Kabob plate that came with yummy rice, a salad, hummus and a pita. It was served with a garlic white sauce and a green slightly spicy sauce. I drizzled both on the kabobs and rice and everything blended perfectly. The salmon was seasoned so well and was so tender! It was perfectly cooked because it retained the softness salmon needs. I also got a pistachio cheesecake that was so light and delicious without being overly sweet. It was a perfect ending to an amazing food plate. The ambiance had average loud noise level since it is small on the inside, however they have plenty of outdoor seating which is where we sat. Even though there are other Mediterranean places close to me, I can see myself going to this location because of their expansive menu.

After the favorable portions I had, I was satisfied and still had room for dessert which consisted of a sweet Baklava and creamy pistachio cheesecake (:

The extra egg makes it even more filling without feeling too heavy. The Caesar Wrap is another favorite, especially when I want something quick and easy to eat on the go.

I like a good southwestern salad and Simply salad has two options for me: their El Paso and their 'Cue. Chicken, romaine lettuce, crispy elements, beans, cheese. What's not to like? When I get their salads, I generally don't enjoy their supplied pitas; therefore, I prefer getting their salads as wraps. Unfortunately, the last time I ordered my wrap with "medium" portion of dressing, I had to supplement my wrap with my own sauces. As a wrap, I'd recommend getting your dressing on the side, or "heavy" dressing if you're eating it right away. Lastly, when you order in person, it can take a bit of time; therefore, I try to order ahead through their website or through doordash (as a pickup order).

There are some things I'd like to mention that have already been said in other reviews, if you just scroll down. The portion sizes are ridiculous compared to other Cava locations I've been to. It's almost like a joke to even serve the sorry a** bowls that they do. Make no mistake--this is not the workers' fault. I feel like a lot of the heat gets placed on the workers, but they're only doing what is required of them. It's the managers, the boss, and the team that comes by to train the workers to serve a specific amount of each ingredient. This is a slap in the face. You're playing with people who work hard for their money, giving them ridiculous portions at full price, all to pocket more money. I know there's someone from the business side of Cava on here who responds to these reviews telling us to submit further critiques on their website, but what good is that doing if you still haven't listened to the concerns of your customers and changed the portion sizes? It angers me because I see what this business is doing, and they're doing it right in front of our faces while the workers take the heat, all for extra profit. I'm not f***ing with it. I'm passionate about this review because this feels like straight-up robbery of people's money, and this location does not care. PLEASE GO TO A DIFFERENT CAVA until this one actually listens to its customers and makes changes.

The tuna was fresh and perfectly cooked with lovely a seasoned crust and pink ahi filet. We still had time before we were due at our date, so ordered coffee, then refills...and more refills, LOL!
