Your sandwiches are great and I’m so impressed by all the specialty sides that are always something different and unique. My faves have been the eggplant orzo, the red curry noodles and the blue cheese slaw but seriously everything I get from here is delicious. And great customer service!“

“definitely worth stopping in“

“I have been to a lot of dining establishments and fine dining and was extremely impressed!!! The management and food were on par I say this with full conviction that is the best movie Tuesdays ever ate at. Because of Connecticut has a passion for building a relaxing environment and it is evident with the culture he's built with the employees. Watch out Ruby Tuesday's because that manager is a gem and he needs to be promoted at the first available opportunity. As a person that recruits people for a living I can definitely tell you that there's something special about this location and manager that manages this location. Salmon was cooked to perfection beautiful crust , nice consistency with the glaze and perfectly cooked in the middle.“

“This is a well run Chick-fil-A. They are fast inside and all my orders have been correct. They could benift from increased parking. I like it because it is close to the care facility where my 85 year old resides. This allows me to be able to be able to get takeout when I visit her. It is the fastest, most accurate one in the Midlands. Kuddos to the entire team.“

“I love zaxs it’s the best big zax snack is the best“

“I had a lunch fit for the Gods today. Perfect.“

“If you're out after 11pm definitely stop by and get the Salmon Bites with fries! Made fresh to order and had a good movie playing while you wait. I'm coming back for another plate tonight“

“Fresh Flavors in a Familiar Spot
​It's great to see a new life breathed into the former Zoe's Kitchen, and the Cava team has done a fantastic job with the fresh, clean remodel. The moment you walk in, you feel like you're in a completely new space with a great atmosphere.
​The food is the real highlight here. The customizable bowls and wraps are made right in front of you, with a wide array of incredibly fresh ingredients to choose from. It’s exactly the kind of fast, healthy, and delicious meal you want when you’re looking for something that’s not typical fast food. You order at the counter, and you can either grab a table or take your meal to go. Covered patio area is also available if you prefer. Trays and trash are placed in the receptical area as you leave.
​Service was efficient and good overall, but it lacked a bit of that genuinely warm and welcoming feeling you hope for. It was early dinner time, so they were starting to get busy, and a few tables could have used a quick wipe-down, though the rest of the restaurant was clean and well-kept.
​Overall, Cava is a great addition to the area. It’s a solid 4-star experience, offering fresh, healthy food in a clean, modern setting. With just a little more attention to service and table maintenance, it would easily be a five-star spot. I'll definitely be back to try another combination“

“8-20-25 around 8:25pm these ladies were amazing!! Speedy service very friendly all smiles. It was a rush and these ladies held their composure! It was a great experience. The best experience I’ve had at this location hands down. I got a salad 🥗 bowl and pita chips and red pepper hummus. It was amazing. Thank you ladies ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The food and service were impeccable!“

“ANGELA!!!! This woman goes above and beyond for the customers of this restaurant. Her bright and positive smile always has the most uplifting effect on my day and it makes me want to come back daily. She was quick and intentional with her work and helped me navigate my different allergies with ease. Everyone come see Angela at Cava Vista

“I work nearby and thought I’d check it out for lunch. They were slammed when I walked in, but the line moved quickly and efficiently. Staff making the sandwiches were courteous and accommodating. Sandwich was delicious and fresh. They have a daily special which includes a sandwich, chips and drink for about $10. I got a turkey and ham sub on white and it hit the spot!“

“Highly recommend the Lemon Chicken Platter - it comes with yellow rice and salad (and was very tasty).🍋🍗🍚🥗🤤👍💯❗️“

“I preordered a weeks worth of meals and drove from Aiken to pick up. It was well worth the drive. The food is not only appealing to they eyes, but everything I ordered tasted fabulous! You can taste the love in this food!“

“My husband and I had a great experience. The food was really good and the customer service was great. My husband and I have been complaining about the food experience in Columbia, but Mission BBQ was a pleasant surprise. We enjoyed it so much that we ordered more food to go.“

“The seats amd tables are always so dirty“

“All the food is soooo Good!! My partner on the the ambulance ate all her food,left no crumbs!! Thank you Rib City, I will be back for more delicious Ribs, Chicken,Hash, Chitterlings,Greens,Macncheese“

“some of the best pizza I've ever had.“

“My wife made reservations here for our before Maxwell and Kem concert dinner. The atmosphere is laid back, with great music. We shared the Genesis salad, which was delicious. She had the Lamb chops, sauteed asparagus and Top Tier Mac & Cheese. She shared her asparagus and it tasted great! I dined on the Reef and Beef, which consisted of a 10 oz steak with shrimp in a garlic butter, Top Tier Mac & Cheese, and Glazed carrots. Everything was delicious! Now, I can't wait to try the salmon, or wings and the smoked collards. Do yourself a big favor and book your table. You will not be disappointed!!!“

“Had the best dinner ribs dry rub were absolutely delicious. 8 oz Sirlion done correctly and tender. Server was this young lady Jade C. She was spot on. Prompt friendly, knowledgeable of the menu . My friend and I were two needy customers wanting extra sides and to go orders. Lots of extras for just two people. She went out of her way to accommodate everything we needed and asked for. Thanks to her for making our dinner fun and enjoyable. Girls weekend getaway 11/15/24“

“Great food ! This is the closest we have came to authentic Mexican Food since we moved from California. Fajitas were very tasty , salsa had good flavor . And the service was friendly and food came out fast !“

“Everything about this deli ROCKS!!!!“

“Great place to grab lunch. The food is so good!!“

“Today while traveling home from vacation we stopped in for a quick lunch. Service and food were great as always! However, when we went to leave our car wouldn’t start. The owner, Mr. Arnold, was great, he jumped right in grabbing a team member to help get us jumped off. Unfortunately, he couldn’t get close enough to us. The team member drove my dad to O’Reily, which was about 3 miles away to get a jump box. I was able to take my 3 kids back inside a cool restaurant that had Wi-fi, coloring pages, books and games while we waited! The amount of team members who checked on us and interacted with the kids was amazing! They offered water; nuggets and even ice cream! 10/10 recommend if you are passing through this area!“

“Great food you must try them out“

“Nice battery brewery with small menu of traditional bar food. Wide selection of beers that is updated regularly. Not a huge selection of food, but the pizza I ordered was fairly large and tasted like pizza. A lot of space to sit so large groups can be accommodated, including both indoors and outdoors. The building is an old airplane hanger and includes a large amount of brewing equipment which is really cool to see. A great spot to hang out and drink with friends.“

“Absolutely delicious pizza and salad! The staff is so talented and very kind and accommodating!“

“We got a calzone and Stromboli. Both were absolutely delicious. Only complaint is how long it took to wait for our orders. Apple Maps said they were open late at night, Google maps said they were closed. Glad we walked over there to find them open after 1am.“

“The food was good and exactly as I had requested. My server was nice, but some of the others would not smile or interact at all when spoken to. I would like to see a more diverse menu like their other locations but I would come back.

Parking: Would encourage them to be more friendly to customers“

“This food is amazing! Nico was my server and he was so pleasant and attentive. I will definitely be back!“

“We stumbled upon this place while waiting on our street market to setup. The staff and food were amazing. We'll definitely be back. They have outside seating so we'll bring the dogs next time.“

“Hot, fresh, fast and delicious. Dine in or take out. Order online or at the counter. Get your food to go or they deliver it to your table, but not full table service. Plenty of seating indoors or outside. Pepsi fountain machine. Not many gluten free options. Free parking lot shared with other businesses. Can be difficult to find parking during busy times.“

“MY NEW FAVORITE PLACE! The food was incredible and the atmosphere perfect! I didn't get our server's name (curly hair on top) but he was fantastic, very attentive!“

“Love Lillian, her staff and her food! Always 5 ⭐️!!“

“food was great and the staff was super friendly and so nice“

“It’s always a great visit at Chick Fil A but this one was top tier!

When I came in two corporate Chick Fil A men were heading out , and one opened the door for me . When I walked up , the cashier immediately said “Are you picking up or Placing an Order” , immediately ready to service me! She let me know she would take my order as soon as I was ready.

Dave placed my order. He was knowledgeable about the Tortilla Soup I asked about.

Food was DELICIOUS! I got the 12 ct nugget and decided to give to soup a try for the first time. Wonderful choice. Absolutely delicious! Just perfect. Love the hint of spice ! Just enough!

Lastly, Marie came around and made sure my meal was tasty and took my tray when I was done eating.

I was in the mall and almost went to the CFA there but opted out . Glad I did. I love this location.

Definitely enjoyed my lunch on my day off .

Wonderful team, Chick Fil A !“

“This has to be one of the BEST Hamburger places I have enjoyed! Outstanding service from the most polite folks.
They cook the burger fresh and it was DELICIOUS.
I am trying to order a different item every time I drive through and have YET to find something that wasn’t DELIGHTFUL
Thank for the Awesome Service and taste!“

“I have eaten here a few times. The chicken salad is great! The croissant each time is a bit dry. I switched to their wheat bread, which was better. The quality of their chicken salad is amazing. So flavorful! The lettuce and tomato are fresh. The cute little cookie you get just ordering a sandwich was a nice treat! I’ve tried the broccoli cheddar soup, that is very cheesy and tasty. The pasta salad was kind of bland and a super small portion but that’s ok. They have lots of options to figure out what you like. The price is not bad if you just do the sandwich, less than $10. My favorite is the Kickin’ Kay Lynne. The sriracha is a nice touch! The cranberry Kelly is good too! That one reminds me of cape cod chicken salad like back home. This place is always packed but the staff is always nice and get you in and out pretty quickly. My new favorite lunch spot!“

“Always clean and friendly staff!“

“Great place to grab a quick meal to eat-in or to carry out. The breads, meats, cheeses, and vegetables are always fresh. Not only is the food delicious, the service is great as everyone seems to enjoy working there. I am always greeted with a smile and a verbal welcome. The restaurant is always clean. The parking lot in front is a bit tight during peak hours but there is plenty of parking on the side of the building. I love Leo's Deli!!“

“We have been regularly coming here for years, always consistently good food. Today I had my usual nacho basket, for some reason the jalapeños are now dumped on top of the chips, I suppose for presentation. problem is that the juice makes the chips soggy. this might seem petty but there's nothing worse than soggy chips. also the cheese sauce was brown and clumpy, like it was old. this was my first bad meal. please go back to the peppers in a cup and a nice fresh creamy cheese sauce. thanks!“

“Kendal was excellent,“

“🥇 Original Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich
The classic — a perfectly seasoned, pressure-cooked fried chicken breast on a toasted buttery bun with dill pickles.
The chicken is juicy with a slightly crispy coating, and the pickles add the right tang. It’s simple, flavorful, and hard to beat.
👉 This is Chick-fil-A’s signature sandwich and easily one of the best chicken sandwiches you can get.“

“The food is dependable and always good. I don't like the way Chick-fil-A has taken to making all of the drive-thrus a nightmare. traffic is everywhere, running in different directions, and it is quite confusing. God forbid somebody hit one of the cones and render it out of place“

“The BEST pizza in town“

“Outstanding Service Thanks to Astrid!
Our visit to Chick-fil-A was absolutely amazing, and Astrid truly made the experience exceptional. From the moment we were greeted, she was warm, professional, and genuinely attentive. She took the time to make sure our order was correct, answered questions with a smile, and made us feel welcomed and valued as guests.
The food was fresh, hot, and prepared perfectly exactly what you expect from Chick-fil-A but Astrid’s customer service took it to another level. She checked in on us, made sure we had everything we needed, and did it all with a positive attitude that made the visit memorable.
It’s rare to come across service that feels so sincere and caring. Astrid is a true asset to the team, and because of her, this was more than just a quick meal it was a great experience. We’ll definitely be back!“
