CAVA — Restaurant in Tulsa

My day was made today when I walked into the 61st & Yale CAVA (formerly Zoe’s) and found the prior Zoe’s manager, Butch, still working there!

I have eaten at multiple Zoe’s locations throughout the Tulsa area for years and while they were all good, Butch’s location was definitely the best. He and his team do a fantastic job of serving their customers and maintaining quality.

I ordered the Greek Chicken Pita, shown here. Now, if you’re looking at the pic I posted and thinking to yourself “I’m not sure whether this guy is happy or angry”, please know that I’m growing older and more bird-like with each passing year, so sometimes my expressions are hard to distinguish (just ask my family). For clarification, the face I’m trying to convey here is, ‘Heck yeah!’.

Also, there’s a bonus. Butch now has a rockin’ new Miami Vice style mustache. So, if you haven’t been there in a while, take yourself over to Kingspointe Village at 61st & Yale, walk into CAVA, order something tasty, and congratulate Butch on...

We were excited to finally eat in the restaurant after only ordering from Door Dash previously, but sort of wished we wouldn't have...We were not greeted when we walked in the door. When the person behind the counter finally acknowledged us she was very unenthusiastic to help us. There were three to four people in the kitchen area that were just seemingly standing around chatting all in dirty looking clothing with no hair and/or beard nets as the line was getting longer behind us. The lady helping us had to ask them to get the cashier who was also in the back somewhere. For the short amount of time this location has been open it was filthy. The hot and cold serving counter, register area, drink area, and table were in need of a thorough wipe down. The trash cans were so full I had to leave my container on the counter above the trash can. The floor was sticky in all of the these areas as well. Love the food here but will not be eating here again if they don't clean up their...

I was skeptical to try this restaurant being that I was so sad to see Zoe's kitchen go. I figured Cava couldn't compare to the things I loved getting from Zoe's, but listen....When I finally gave this place a shot I went in to the Broken Arrow location and the staff was amazing! They patiently helped me through my decision making process and even offered me samples! I was so excited by the selection I couldn't decide and ordered the Greek salad as is and a grain bowl! It was amazing!!! I liked it so much I just had it delivered from the Kingspoint location (yes the business delivers locally!) It's so good y'all! Take my word for it. It has a Chipotle style set up which I turned out loving! It is very different from Zoe's but in such a good way! I like this place so much I have already eaten there 3 times this week as a new customer and it's only Thursday! LOL Give it a shot because you won't be...
