The Grilled Feta Sandwich on Rye was deeeeeeliiiish!!!!! ($7.95) Fresh basil and tomato with caramelized onions....so good! The dish came with a side of my choice and I had the red potato salad. The salad was good but needed a little more salt in my opinion. The chocolate sheet cake ($2.00) was moist and tasty. The icing was a little off putting initially, as you could feel the actual granules of sugar, but after a couple of bites I enjoyed the unusual texture! I purchased a small to go tub ($4.00) of the chicken salad I had read about here on Yelp. The texture was soooooo good, almost creamy! Again, there needed to be just a tad more spice, but regardless this was good stuff!! This was my first visit to Zoe's Kitchen, but I will definitely be back to try some of the hot plate items.

I love Zoe's. The employees are helpful and are ready to help you figure out what you'd like to try. They're patient if you're indecisive and will let you try the different side items if you ask. Man, Zoe's is so good. Chicken roll ups all the way.

Fresh, good decor, nice food. Self-serve drinks- a good place to stop for a quick bite, or carry out.

Dearest Zoes kitchen, If I could eat there every day of my life I would. The roll ups are amazing with the fresh ingredients, the amazing feta, the fruit salad that is oh so yummy, and the great atmosphere. It is a place to try if you havent been there and a place to keep going to!

The service here is really friendly. I explained that I had never eaten here before and they made some suggestions. I ended up trying the chicken salad sandwich and the coleslaw. Both were tasty. I have lunch here again when I want to feel healthier. Something tells me I'll come back more often after the holidays.

When walking into Zoe's, it almost felt like a fast food restaurant, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Nice modern decor was fun though. Had no idea what to get but chose the steak roll-ups and pasta salad. My husband had the Grüben with fresh fruit. WOW!!! I was so impressed. I hate rye bread, but after trying that Grüben, I have to go back and get it. Turkey, swiss, slaw, with spicy mustard on rye was so good and just really an out of the ordinary sandwich. My steak roll-ups were very good too, hot steak with melted swiss cheese, sauteed onions and mushrooms wrapped in a homemade tortilla and served with really good creamy dipping sauce. We really enjoyed lunch and will be back!

OMG I love this place. Their chicken salad is to die for. Also I hate coleslaw but they make a slaw that I actually like it isn't mayo based and it has feta cheese. They also have a great pasta salad with tomatoes and feta. Pita chips are great too! I wish they would expand to mandarin!!!!

Order here for pick up all the time. Service is always fast & they always get my orders right. salmon & shrimp kabobs has so much flavor. It never disappoint. Their salads & hummus are always fresh, no complaints here!

Ricky H.
First time here. Clean place. Friendly, helpful staff. I was recommended the chicken feta pizza and was not disappointed! 10" pizza with a salad for $8 is not bad either. The pizza was pretty unique and delicious. The marinara contrasts with the feta and chicken for a complex, unique taste. Most places would use a white sauce like Alfredo, but the marinara is a welcome twist! I'll definitely be coming back to explore the rest of the menu.

Awesome and healthy! Great flavors served quick. Not a full service place; you order at the counter and they bring it out. The food is awesome.

Let's just say, my wife loves this place. The quality of their food alone, makes them stand out amongst all others. I myself, I'm okay with it, but I would have to say, their chicken salad is top notch. This place is good for lunch or dinner. And although I didn't have any of the cookies, they looked remarkable.

Nicole K.
First time here and had a wonderful visit. Lots of fresh food and veggies. Housemate Greek dressing at every table and pretty good portion sizes. Veggie friendly but lots of chicken options mostly. Service was helpful and ridiculously fast! A great little spot for fast well priced food without sacrificing healthy choice.

I went for my first time today and it was great! You get fresh food with fast service. I got the club pita which was good. I will definitely be coming back

Zoe's is my new Starbucks. They make exactly what I want & how I want it. No lettuce on the pimento cheese sandwich? Easy. Want the chicken salad on a pita instead of the multi-grain bread? Sure, no problem! Want the chicken salad as your side with the pimento cheese sandwich? Done. Their food always tastes fresh. You can even order online now and it will be ready for pick up when you get there. They have a variety of vegetarian options for those that don't want the yummy chicken salad. The spinach wraps are delicious, but the salsa packs a serious kick. Not that it's bad, just a little unexpected. While I have yet to order it myself, I've been given rave reviews of the orzo tabouli salad. The restaurant is so bright & cheery you can't help but be in a good mood when eating here.

Great place for a Mediterranean food, nothing fancy. You order at the counter and they will bring to you. Love the kebabs.and the chicken marinara with orzo salad. Healthy food.

While visiting Jacksonville I searched YELP for a place that was veg friendly and this place was pretty high up on the list. Between that, the user rating and the proximity to our hotel I thought I it would be a good option for myself (vegan) and my omnivore parents. I was wrong. The problem is that this place is NOT vegan/veg friendly. The only veggie sandwich comes with feta that cannot be taken off. The clerk was nice enough to offer to take the meat and cheese off of one of their other sandwiches, but would still have to charge me full price. SMH...... For what it's worth, Dad liked his steak kabobs and I thought the limeade was pretty good but I got give them 1 star for the false advertising.

great selection of fresh foods, at very good prices. You bus your own dishes, but no one leaves a tip.

Fresh and clean. Basic selection of food that comes across as healthy, although I'm not sure if it is or not. The flavoring is spectacular , especially the namesake salad dressing & the roasted potato side. I order the Hummus & Greek Salad plate every time, and it never fails me. The kid's meal is a good value, with a selection of four or five meals for every child's palate. Staff is very friendly and helpful at all times, even when busy, which is quite often. I also appreciate the fact that I stumbled in one night and found them doing a fund raiser for down syndrome folks. Great place for a meal in PVB and it will never let your taste buds or wallet down.

One of the best places to go for a healthy lunch! I have been going to Zoe's for a LONG time, not sure why I never wrote a review. My new favorite is the protein power plate! It has their yummy greek coleslaw, grilled chicken breast - topped with carmleized onions -YUM!

I've eaten in and ordered take out from here millions of time. I always get the chicken kabobs which takes a little longer but I don't mind. The place is kept pretty clean but when it's crowded it can get pretty loud. Like I said I like the chicken kabobs with rice pilaf and salad. The flavor combination of those 3 really compliment each other. I really like the salad dressing and they actually sell them in bottles which I've bought for myself in the past. I've also had their chicken orzo soup. You can tell it's homemade. Very hearty with plenty of carrots, chunks of chicken and celery. Delicious. I would definitely recommend this place for a quick, healthy, homemade meal. I prefer to eat outside if it's lunchtime though because it gets kinda loud in there.

The hummus and potato salad are a great light dinner/snack after the beach. I buy extra potato salad since it is awesome. I wish they had more vegan options.

Not sure what was up with our experience - why I seem to be the "odd man out" here on this one judging from the other reviews, but this food was horrible. It does seem like everyone else here likes it though, so I'm not sure if Zoe's changed hands or due to the economy is skimping on quality, etc? Anyway, I ordered the chicken kebab with rice & salad, & the rice was soo salty - like a rice-a-roni box mix with an msg packet.. except saltier. Very sub-par. I took one bite of the chicken & it was EXTREMELY bland... completely tasteless, in the way that like if you just keep boiling something so long it boils all the flavor out. Can't imagine they boiled it though(?), but that's the impression it left me with. (Not like I was expecting the most flavorful middle eastern kabob or anything, but just not COMPLETELY bland.) And the salad was wilted, some spinach leaves were already yellow & some wilted romaine. There was nothing I could eat on it, so I just took it my platter back. Also it came with the lowest quality of rubbery dense probably pumped with chemicals pita bread out there - totally unappealing. Couldn't eat it, I'm not the kind of person to complain but I had to take it back. (Thank you Zoe's for giving me a refund). Hubby had the Reuben (greuben, think its called) & he ate it but said it wasn't that enjoyable. We also got a turkey sandwich (off the regular non-kids menu) with fruit for the kids to share - they just picked at it & normally they love everything & they're good eaters - sandwich looked NOT fresh & sub-par quality-wise overall esp. the bread --I tasted it and it was really bland. (note this was a regular sandwich, not off the kids menu.) They weren't even really excited about the fruit & they love fruit - the fruit didn't seem too fresh & the red grapes were pale color, an indication they weren't ripe yet. We did get a chocolate chunk cookie that looked good at least -- which they ate when we got home & no word on how that was... All this compounded by a stark-feeling cold modern atmosphere (well, if you like that sort of thing)... but to note that I'm basing this review on the food alone, not the atmosphere. The cashier was nice and apologetic and very understanding when I returned my food and I got the vibe she was agreeing with me about the quality. We won't be back.

Greek food is a fine melody of the finest pressed olive oil, fresh fermented bread, colorful vegetables, juicy meat, sea food all cooked in spices and fresh rosemary. The people from Greek were great scholars who aimed to excel in everything they do. The results are quite visible in their food as they are the inventors of olive oil which is beneficial to health. Greeks also made different type of wines from the best quality of grapes fermented in controlled environment.
Today, you can find hundreds of restaurants offering authentic Greek food or popularly termed as Mediterranean cuisine in New York city alone. People wait in line to taste the exotic Greek dishes like saganaki, taramasalata, souvlaki, loukoumades, spanakopita, moussaka, and many more. One thing which most people like about these authentic Greek dishes is abundant use of lemon juice, olive oil, fresh rosemary and sea salt. A smart mix of few ingredients can virtually take you on the pebble streets of beautiful city of Greece.
For those who don't have time to enjoy fine dining should try tasting the famous souvlaki with pita which is type of meat dish, also a trademark Greek fast food. For those who are vegetarian, or vegan can try different versions of Greek Salad. So, if you wish to enjoy a hearty yet healthy meal that tastes divine then try dining at the best Greek restaurant in your city. Greek cuisine not only tastes good but also help maintain your body in a natural way through healthy diet.
