First of all, let me just start by saying this meal cost over $20. For the amount of food I'm getting to pay that price, I expect what I pay for, which is good service and quality. I visited the CAVA located in Gervais St. in the Vista. I ordered a bowl and a drink. What does that include according to the menu? A bowl, a free pita as a side, and a drink. I don't believe I got what I paid for. For one, by the time my bowl was complete, it filled the bowl about halfway. Okay, that's not too bad. However, the girl that prepared my food forget to include my free side (pita). Then she was in such a rush to be idle that she almost forgot my drink as well (it was not busy at all and I went there around 7:40pm, about 2 hours before closing). To top it all off, the attitude of the girl who prepared my food was what I would like to describe as "meh". While it's not the most horrible experience I've had, most people would like to get what they paid for including all of their food and good customer service. I've worked in the restaurant industry for many years. It's shouldn't be hard to treat a customer that is being kind and respectful to you with the same kind...

I would like to provide an update regarding my recent experience with Cava. Initially, I received a credit of $18.72 due to an issue with my online order. When I arrived to collect my order just prior to closing, I discovered that a key ingredient was missing. I contacted customer service, and they processed a refund for my total of $18.72.

When I placed a new order two days later, the total cost was notably lower, amounting to approximately $11, as I did not include certain extras. However, instead of refunding the new total, the company deducted the full amount of $18.36 from my account. I subsequently reached out to management again regarding this matter and provided the necessary receipts; however, I have yet to receive a response.

I would advise prospective customers to consider placing orders in person rather than online, as it appears that the ordering process can be problematic and that management is not promptly addressing...

Ordered online for the first time. SUPER disappointed. Salad bowl was half empty (see photos). I requested the dressing on the side, which was not honored (not even sure if it made it in the bowl). Requested some dips for the pita slice and they were all just thrown onto my salad instead of in their own containers. Requested utensils and none were provided (or napkins). Also ordered a cookie. Didn't realize it was TINY and prepackaged. Will most likely not order from here again. I did order a cucumber mint lime drink (found the cup in the bag for me to complete myself) and that was good. Wouldn't recommend anything else as my salad is ruined from all the crap piled on top and my requests not honored. Lots of other better choices in the area.

I’m normally a fan of this location but tonight I ordered through DoorDash and it was the worst experience I’ve ever had. First they forgot my drink which wasn’t a huge deal, DoorDash refunded it so I was satisfied. The kicker was when I bit into one of the spicy lamb meatballs and it was raw in the middle. Luckily DoorDash was able to refund but unfortunately for me I got half way through my meal before I realize the meat was undercooked. I will be reporting this location to DHEC and will no longer spend any of my hard earned money here. This place is entirely too expensive to be handing out undercooked food.

CAVA may be my favorite chain of all time. Flavorful, fresh, healthy, generous portions and reasonably priced. This location does get pretty busy which can slow down service time, but every employee is friendly. I've tried almost every bowl on the menu and done several "create your own" bowls and I've never been disappointed.
