Had seen Cava all over the place and finally tried it out. What a great Mediterranean upscale fast food place! Ordered takeout for a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon. Soonest pickup option was 15 minutes, and it was ready to pick up when we arrived righ on time. Nice airy dining room at this location and a lovely patio, too.
Ordered a Steak + Harissa Bowl (w/ free pita) and a Spicy Chicken + Avocado pita wrap. They were both great! Good flavor in all the seasonings, tender steak, plenty of avocado on the wrap. Pitas were thick and good quality. A little pricy, but you do get a fair amount. Looking forward to trying their specialty drinks next time!

Cava use to be my favorite restaurant, I went in on Tuesday and my usual 10.00 bowl was 18.00!!!!!! Never again and my food wasn't as fresh as usual.

I am still new to the restaurant. I love their veggie variety. I am full after a bowl and don't feel "sluggish" afterward. I like to treat myself to it every now and then.

This is my 3rd time coming to this location & will be my last time. The portion sizes are half of what they should be. If you ask for 1/2 & 1/2 in the base or protein sections, they should give 1 full scoop of each. I ask each time at check out how long the pita chips have been sitting out, as nobody wants to eat them cold/chewy. They always say “uh a while.” I ask for them to make some fresh ones, & all 3 times I’ve been told no. No other location has ever denied cooking fresh pita chips (it takes less than 5 min to drop them in the fryer). Being short-staffed should never be a reason for poor quality service, but the service here is trash. I will continue to drive a little further to eat downtown Bham or in Homewood.. both of those locations always have the best staff & great atmospheres.

Unfortunately received a dead fly with my order
The food here is pretty decent although it's really overpriced.

I am a “loyalty customer” through the Cava app. If there was a place to leave reviews on the app I would have but there is zero options to communicate with management or Cava in general. I order lunch from this location at least twice a week and in the last two months they have increased menu prices, left me waiting for food sitting on the counter for over 10 minutes, sent me away with the wrong order, and generally are doing a terrible job of handling customers that aren’t standing directly in front of them. I am a patient person as this is the 5th meal in a row that they have handled/prepared poorly.

I've only been twice and I picked up my online order at the digital drive up window (which is very convenient). It would have been nice to have my smile returned both times, hence the 4 rating for service since there wasn't a wait at the drive thru or inside....just smile.
BUT THIS CRISPY FALAFEL PITA GETS ALL THE STARS ?????. So good I had to come back 2 days later to be sure it wasn't a fluke. It wasn't. I subbed the garlic dressing for the spicy harrisa vinaigrette and had 1/2 falafel 1/2 roasted veggies. Perfection!

This was my first time in a cava honestly, I had a really good experience. Although my friends chicken was really spicy. Also highly recommend their blueberry lavender drink.

Amazing fast food restaurant for the more healthy food experience. Lots of greens and beans but you can add (delicious) meat and a lot of different seasonings on top of it to make it less healthy. The dinks that are accompanied by the meal are even better! I love the mint cucumber drink
Vegetarian options: If you don’t choose the three meat options (beef, chicken of lamb) all is vegetarian.

I had a great experience at this location! I think more and more Cava begins to entice me more than its competitors because of the friendly ambience I am always met with. Olivia and Thomas were extremely friendly and understanding through my bowl process and I am grateful for them. I highly recommend Cava to my friends and family, so now I am recommending you guys!
