Pleasant Surprise! Whilst waiting for our flight back to the Bay Area, we stopped for a quick sandwich and yogurt. I ordered the chicken pesto, and my wife got a yogurt parfait. I actually wanted to get a breakfast wrap, but at around noon, they don't serve breakfast any longer. Oh well. Including a couple expensive drinks, the total was about $26. Actually seems okay for airport prices. The chicken pesto sandwich was surprisingly good. It's Panini style and came out nice and hot. The drinks could have been colder. There are tons of tables and chairs right outside the restaurant. So overall, a pleasant visit. I would not have expected the quality of this sandwich. I did however, expect the high prices. read more

Zov's - Chicken pesto sandwich. Surprisingly tasty $12.49 - Mediterranean Near Me - Santa Ana, California

My first time here. Lunch was very good. I will be back :) I ordered the lamb burger. I literally inhaled it and forgot to take a picture first. Their chimichurri sauce is a must have with any entree. read more

They have Panini's, pizza, salads and sandwiches. It's in an area near the food court and lot's of open seating. I had the Chicken Pesto panini which was good. The $4 bottle of water was painful. read more

Zov's - two people sitting at a restaurant counter - Mediterranean Near Me - Santa Ana, California

We ordered coffee and pastries from the bakery side. Pecan square/bar was over baked and dry. Pumpkin square/bar lacked the spice flavor. It's a bit disappointing since we used to get very good cakes from Zoe's read more

Eggcellent (hehe) breakfast wrap! There's few options for a fresh cooked breakfast in the SNA airport, but Zovs delivered! The price of the breakfast wrap and a small coffee was $15, but the ingredients were solid and the staff was friendly. read more

We were waiting to board and this was right across from our terminal so decided to pick up light breakfast here. [Order] Egg Sandwich: sandwich had, egg, cheese, avocado, bacon. It was a regular sandwich. Nothing extraordinary. Good for a quick breakfast grab if you're in a rush to get to your flight. read more

I have been eating at the Tustin Zov's for more than 10 years and have since moved out of state. During my last visit to California, I returned via John Wayne Airport which was remodeled considerably since spring, and was delighted to find Zov's now had a prime place in the airport. My timing was perfect because it was about 20 minutes before they closed for the night. They had my favorite golden lentil soup, salads, sandwiches, muffins and a few cookies for sale in the display. I ordered a roasted veggie pizza/flat bread and my husband got a chef salad. I then purchased a cookie to take to work the next day. Everything was wonderful. I look forward to eating there every time I go to the airport. It may be on the pricey side, but for me it was worth the price; for the quality I receive when I dine with Zov. read more

To give some credit I came back and had a much better experience. The lady was very nice and busy. Order went smooth. The person that took the order was also cooking so I believe she was in a tough situation. Food was good. Well......came by at 5:30pm on a Monday. 2 employees there and they already stopped the hot food. What's the point of offering dinner food if you are not going to make it at dinner read more

It was my first time at John Wayne Airport and was looking through vegetarian options, came across this place next to few other food joints. Decided to order grilled cheese panini and he literally messed up, how can you work at a restaurant and mess up a simple cheese panini. All you gotta do is lay few slices of one type of cheese and grill it for few minutes. This smarty pants threw in two different types of cheese slices between the toast and grilled it, doesn't even freaking know how to lay each slide on top of each other and just trashed them, just because they charge $10.99 for a cheese sandwich he threw in two types of cheese slices, seriously? I'd rather still pay $10.99 for the same grilled cheese panini but made with just one type of cheese and well done. Food: Was average Service: Horrible as the guy behind the counter (Hector) doesn't even smile or greet the customers properly. Made me feel like someone was forcing him to work at that place. Pricing: Normal for the airport location. Not the best food joint to dine at John Wayne Airport, there's few other places next to this one so choose those and save yourself some money and time. read more

Traveling through John Wayne airport and wanted to keep it healthy. I ordered the roasted vegetable flatbread which had roasted zucchini, roasted eggplant, kalamata olives, roasted yellow and rev bell pepper, and feta cheese. Nice combo of flavors, my only issue with the dish is I expected a flatbread, similar to thin crust (or thinner) pizza, but it was more like pizza, which didn't make for a light dish. I knocked off a star for the lack of help and service from the cashier, who also prepared my food. I asked questions about the bread options for the sandwiches, and the lady just stared at me so I asked a few more times, to understand what the bread choices were for sandwiches. She eventually replied but with a "no" and "I don't know," and didn't offer to ask another employee to find out. I gave up trying to get answers and settled on the flatbread (they were the healthiest deal near my gate). I stepped away and another person placed an order. I noticed an obviously more senior employee, try and quietly scold the cashier for not attempting to help me or ask him or someone else to help. He then stepped in making small talk while the lady finished making my "pizza." I felt bad for the guy, I get it service is everything, so they definitely need to step up the service aspect of their business. If she were cashier again I would not revisit. The menu was in such a way, that employees should be pretty familiar with it, or say you don't know upfront, and refer customers to someone else. I was only asking could I have ciabatta bread on a veggie sandwich (of which I saw regular sandwiches on ciabatta), and it took for attempts to get an I don't know and then told no. Very frustrating. read more

For airport fast food, this is as good as it gets. Fresh and made to order, Zov's has some great sandwiches and breakfast dishes. I love their grilled tuna salad and breakfast wrap. read more

Zov's - Egg, bacon and cheese breakfast sandwich. Complimented with tomato and avocado. - Mediterranean Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Terrible service. The woman who worked there was rude and inattentive. (Despite the airport being empty. Despite it being lunch time. Despite the fact that there was no line. I guess I was interrupting an oh-so important conversation about her "frenemy's instagram," or some such nonsense.) Even when I was so bold as to ask for a fork, she seemed terribly put out. Really??? On top of that, the food was pretty darn bad, too. Subway or even McDonald's would have been 100% better. read more

Note to Yelp: This is a review of the Zov's located within the secure area of Terminal C. It's not a review of Zov's GRAB-AND-GO in pre-security Terminal A. I'm all about restaurants owned or at least started by Armenians named Zov. I know an Armenian named Zov who is or was in the food industry, and I kind of associate him with Orange County and even Palm Springs even though he's never lived (as far as I know) in either place. Every time I see him, he's amazed by how much I resemble my father. The last time I visited his house, he lived on the same street as two other houses that I used to visit quite regularly with my family when I was a child. All of this is to say that I have very fond feelings for the name Zov, for Armenians and Armenian food, and for an Orange County-Zov connection. But Zov's at John Wayne gets only two stars because they charged me $5.38 for a tiny Naked Orange Juice. Yes, Naked is an expensive brand, and I should expect to be gouged at the airport, especially in Orange County. But $5.38? For that little orange juice? I'm sorry, but that's ridiculous. The people working here were nice, especially Minerva. (How cool is it to meet someone named Minerva?) I'll definitely have to try some of their hummus. But $5.38? No way. Sorry, Zov. read more

Absolutely disgusting. The grilled chicken cobb salad seemed okay, until I found part of a latex glove in it. The manager was apologetic and gave a full refund but that didn't help remove the latex taste in my mouth. Horrible. Just horrible. read more

Where are the TSA officers? There's a crime being committed ... highway robbery. Oh, wait .. they're all yucking it up and trying to get their belts around their 60" waists. OK ... on to Zov's Grab-n-Go. I've been going to Zov's for 13 years, ad I was thrilled when her spot arrived at SNA. Until I got in on a flight a few weeks ago and walked into the G&G. Besides not having anyone behind the counter (the clerk was out talking with a friend, and it took a few minutes of me saying "Hello? Is anyone back there?" for her to mosey on in. I picked up a Sabraa hummus cup and chips. There was no price on the shelf where it sat along with a lot of other prepackaged foods. I got out a $5, figuring it might be $4.25. Nope ... $6.47. I told the clerk to forget it and walked out ... and I'll never walk back in again. I travel a ton. I understand the airport concessions pay taxes up the wazoo for the privilege of serving harried travelers. I'm sorry that Zov is so hard up for cash that instead of providing travelers with a good meal, she's making us pay almost double what items are work, she's hiring people who don't give a damn about customers, and she can't even make sure items on the shelves are priced right. I'll head back to my favorite Zov's in Tustin, enjoy the fresh food, the sound of the fountain, the amazing chocolate desserts. I'll never set food in Zov's airport spot again. read more

Holy crap. I always expect airport food to be bad, but this was on a whole new level. I ordered a flatbread that was inedible trash and dripping with grease. Never again. read more

So I just wanted to grab a quick cup of coffee before my flight. The service was horrible- the lady at the counter was working on something more important than helping customers and when she finally looked up to help me , I ordered a medium cup of coffee and then they charged me 4.31 !! What ??? The most expensive cup of coffee I have ever had and it was pretty thin to boot - go somewhere else !! read more

When it comes to airport food/service I keep my expectations low. The Pesto Chicken Panini I had exceeded my expectations. The chicken was juicy. The sandwich was hot and flavorful. read more

Had the Veggie sandwich. Save your money and go to subway next to it...much more ROI in every way. read more

I got the chance to order the eggs and bacon sandwich . The other items on the menu looked good but it was morning time. The sandwich was OK because it tasted fresh with large amounts of ingredients of egg , avocado and bread. It was lacking a sauce though so it did not make the sandwich special. Next time ill try their lunch menu and probably give a higher rating. The other things on the menu sounds tasty. CLIFF NOTES : It was just a large breakfast sandwich with no sauce. read more

Even for airport food, Zov's is waaay overpriced. I stopped in for breakfast before an early flight and after and inordinate time waiting (while I waited people went to Subway, got their sandwiches, finished them, and left), I finally got a breakfast wrap (basically Zov's version of a breakfast burrito). The wrap was actually pretty good but between the terrible wait and mediocre service, I cannot recommend Zov's at all. If you have a ton of time to kill Zov's might be ok, but if you have that much time you might as well just go to Javier's next door for better food, service, and atmosphere. read more

I got the eggplant flatbread which was pretty tasty and good, and my brother got the smoked salmon bagel which was delicious -- it was the right amount of salt (I've had smoked salmon be too salty before). It was just quite pricey -- the bagel was $12 & the flatbread was near $9. read more

One guy working at the airport counter. Too busy scraping burned stick sandwiches off the grill to cash me out. People in front of me equally irritated at this guys lack of attention. He cashed them out then went back to what he was doing. Left me standing there at the counter with cash in hand. I walked away and had a great salad next door. read more

Two stars for the lentil soup. Zovs is one of my favorite restaurants, the one in Tustin. The airport grab n go.. Not so much. Isn't there anywhere in the airport to get good service and good food? We ordered flat bread tomato basil pizza and lentil soup. The pizza wouldn't fit in the hexagon plastic container so she sliced off one end and laid it on top of the hot cheesy flat bread...well you can imagine the mess of trying to take it off! I could of taken a picture but it looked like a jumbled mess! I teased the gal about not having sweets and I got a smirk only. What happened to friendly service? Uugh I'm going to have to bring my own food in here when I travel! read more

I was excited to find this place. I had the smoked salmon bagel and it was delicious. I'm surprised at all the bad reviews especially considering how awful and pricey ALL airport foods are. I thought this place was a gem and I'm looking forward to trying their other locations. read more

Avoid this place. Stopped by for a quick bite and a bottled water. Selection of food items is very limited. So i settled on the chicken pesto panini. Bread was toasted correctly however all the ingredients were cold. Not a good sandwich. I should have walked a few more steps and ate at Subway. At least you know what you're getting. No domestic bottled water available. Only water comes from Fiji or Iceland. Tried to explain transporting water thousands of miles creates green house gases. Asked for a cup of tap water and they said no. Will not be back again. read more

Just had another fantastic meal at Zov's served by our favorite waiter, Michael! Highly recommend both!

If I could give a negative star to this establishment, I would. Compared to the other stuff at the airport, I figured we can't go wrong with this place. It seemed like a "healthier" alternative. Oh boy was I wrong! I got FOOD POISONED from this place! What a mistake eating this crap right before my flight. I had the worst stomach cramps on the entire flight (1hour) and just kept feeling worse and worse as time went by. As soon as we landed, we called an uber, within 10 minutes of being in the car I had him pull over. I couldn't even make it to the bathroom! We made multiple stops until we finally got to the hotel. I thought everything was out of my system until I ran to the bathroom as my husband was checking us in. My poor husband was going to a work conference and I went with him only to have him concerned about me the entire trip. All I did was break out in cold sweats, shiver and shake, had major nausea, and diarrhea NON-STOP. What a "trip." Clearly won't be forgetting this one. I have told all my friends and family and no one will be visiting any of the locations of this establishment. read more

Definitely not as good as the cafe... Pre made salad was very disappointing; bitter lettuce, sour tomato and brown avocado. I don't usually go for pre made anything but I thought zovs would do it right. Bummer. read more

Zovs has the worst sandwiches, they are tasteless. I ordered a chicken pesto sandwich and the bread was oily and hard that I couldn't eat it. They are also over priced compare to other places. I told the person at the counter, but manager didn't even come out to speak to me. read more

Way overpriced, out of tuna, hastily assembled & crumbling bread/turkey, indifferent employee. Merry Christmas!

$7 for a blueberry muffin and a medium coffee. Guess that's not surprising for the airport or Zov's for that matter. They also had some cookies and croissants that are in plastic, never a good sign. Coffee tasted burnt. Muffin was very dry and dense. I thought they were known for their pastries? Guess I should have waited to have the soup. Never thought I'd say this, but I should have gone to Starbucks. I would have saved a couple bucks too read more

Ordered the tomato basil flatbread and it came stacked on each other so the cheese pulled off the pieces underneath. Meal was mediocre. Asked for a cup of water and they said all they have is hot water. Not friendly. read more

Delicious tuna salad sandwhich! Flavorful tuna and they even turned it into a tuna melt per my request. The man working also offered a fork because he knew it would be messy. Great customer service! Only downside was the avocado shortage. Still flavorful without. read more

Limited breakfast menu....better than eating at Carl's tho. Price is not too bad considering your at an airport.

Grabbed the soujouk and garlic flatbread and for airport food it was surprisingly good (although some of the sausage was a bit burnt). I would try other items off their menu. read more

The Roasted Veggie Flatbread was loaded with fresh vegetables and good flavor. The rest of the menu looked fresh and healthy. I would definitely stop by again. read more

I travel alot threw this airport always eat at zovs for the salads and the workers theirs are fast.... the only down side is the price
