“I’m a student and I go here every day after class. Albis and Roxy know me by name and have my bowl memorized and they’re great. This is the only bowl place on campus that is actually healthy and doesn’t make me feel sluggish and tired after eating it because they don’t use any of the crappy oils and all the stuff is fresh. Food tastes amazing too.“

“irst time going to Cava- What a find! There was a line, but no one in line got upset , I suppose because they knew they were going to get WONDERFUL food! Brenda was working the line, and she was really efficiently going- getting every order right, and not getting frustrated. Although there were a lot of people, we didn't wait long, and whatever time it was- it was SO worth it! The food was, (sorry Zoes Kitchen), the best Mediterranean around. The sauces were fresh and bright and very flavorful! Lamb kebab and falafel were tender and spiced well. Lettuces and vegetables were fresh and crisp. I just wish I could have tried everything- I don't think I would have been disappointed! Eat outside if the weather permits. Oh! Also, The ambient music was even good and surprisingly different from the ubiquitous droning normally heard in todays restaurants!“

“Minestone was different everytime I ordered it. There is no consistency with the food. I ordered the rigatoni w/creamy mushroom and it had very little sauce, some noodles were cold. The minestrone first bowl was exactly how it's supposed to be, the 2nd bowl was NOTHING but beans(no noodles, no tomatoes) they need to do better with the consistency...everytime I go, its ALWAYS different.“

My family always eats at Chick Fil A when we’re on the road or stopping in town for a quick bite, but I love to go to the one in the mall specifically because of their convenient order online service and pick up in the parking lot.

“Food was great, but the way they treat their staff. The management It's so disrespectful and they wonder why they can't keep staff. Well, you can't talk to other grown. Adults like they're 2-year-olds if you didn't train them properly, and I am not for the racism. So yes, I did. Get on to the manager. About the way she was acting, because we don't treat people like that“
