Good food and music. I love the kabobs and pita. I think I will come back to enjoy it again.

Great food and always fresh! Kabobs and the protein power plate are my favorites.

This is like Semi-fast food. It's not really fast but close, kind of like jogging or one of those Jetson like people movers in airports of food. You order at the counter, take a number then food appears a few minutes later. It's a sandwich/salad/soup type place that is pseudo Greek in it's style. I got the a sandwich called the steak stack. There was a portebello muchsroom, tomatoes, grilled onions, mozzarella cheese, and apparently steak on a 2 grilled slices of regular bread. There was some meat on it but it wasn't "steak". I'm not expecting USDA prime beef but this was worse than the steak sub at Subway. The sanwich was just ok at best. It came with a side and I chose the pasta salad. It was just pasta shells, feta cheese, tomatoes and green onions. No liquid or sauce to hold it together. Again just ok. When I was there the place was somewhat of a mess. The fountain Coke display was just a wreck. Ice and spilled coke were on the floor. They were out of silverware and no one really was even trying to fix the area. I don't know kind of a less than stellar impression.
I love this place so much! The steak kabobs are so yummy and every bite is delish. I found my new favorite place :) I wish they would open one in the West Bank because both locations are is over the river. But for now my bf will just have to make that drive!

The food is awesome and the staff is good for the most part. They do keep track if they are taking too long and offer something free. They do get very busy around lunch time and it can be hard to get a table.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm! So delicious. It's difficult to make things taste healthy and yummy at the same time. This place does it. Huge selection on Greek(ish) food. Really cute on the inside. Reasonably priced. What's not to like?

It's a cute little place, but I've never paid for more bland food in my life. The chicken salad was so underseasoned. Maybe I should give it another shot, but I just never have the urge to.

Ok, it's a chain, but I very much enjoyed this food. I have a Greek friend who loves to eat at Byblos, so Greek food can't be that hard to mess up. I had a great experience here with my friend. Very simple and clean.

I had to update my review. They recently added a Salmon Kabob, that is pretty amazing. I absolutely adore it. The salmon is just so juicy and wonderful. Mmmm it's definitely a trip you need to try out along with their tasty hummus. I love this location for weekend lunches. It's great location to just sit and enjoy a bite to eat while running errands.

Brittaney V.
OMG! Yes yes yes yes yes. Zoe's Kitchen is the place to go. Healthy options that are super yummy. Only downfall is that it can be a bit pricy. I suggest the salmon kebabs and the basil pesto hummus! My husband likes the steak kebabs. It's usually always busy, but the food doesn't take too long to come out. You wait in line to order your food, take a number, and then sit down. They will bring your food to you.

Decided to try Zoe's on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. The food and atmosphere was refreshing. I ordered the Steak Stack grilled sandwich (comes on Sourdough - mmmhm) with a side of the potato salad. Both were mouth watering delicious and thoroughly enjoyed the healthy alternatives to some of your typical ingredients. The staff was very friendly and food was brought to the table in a short amount of time. I will definitely return and recommend this gem to friends and family.

Surprisingly excellent food, went on a weekday and loved the the menu. You have to order and pay at the back, but the prices were resonable and our chicken wraps, turkey sandwiches and salads were all wonderful. Highly recommend!

Followed Rachel and went with the grilled steak kabobs. I had them last time and liked them a lot. So I stick with the "geaux with what you know" menu. My friend says that "we should have gotten some hummus and pita bread..." well-- the 10 people next to us got served before us and sat down 20 min later. And it feels like we are going to fall out of these tall chairs...

Jay S.
Love this place. When I eat here I typically have the chicken kabobs entree, it comes on a bed of rice with a Greek salad and pita bread. On the days I have a larger appetite I add braised white beans. This place is the right place to go with if your looking for a healthier option while your out. You can order much of what's on this menu without having to feel guilty afterwards.

Borat once said "VERY NIZE" ! I like the new zoes app. Anytime I get a bribe with free cake im in it ! Place is clean and bright. Steak kabobs are the best thing on the menu. Cheers...

I love Zoës kitchen! I'm not a fan of their kabobs or roll ups, but their salads are amazing! I love the fresh salads here more than any other restaurant. All of the veggies are very fresh and their dressing isn't salty. It's the greatest mix. My favorite salad has pasta salad in it! It's great! I'd suggest trying this place for a nice little casual dinner outing. I just recently tried their Mediterranean chicken and ate everything, which I rarely ever do.
(4)
Lynn W.
Love me some mediterranean! I can eat it several times a week. Decided to dip in here and boy were they quick. Me being me, could not come to a decision so I chose the hummus for starter ( delish) and chicken salad sandwich for my main. My chosen side was white beans. I was pleasantly surprised. You can definitely count on me to come back around here.

Our interest in this franchised operation was originally tweaked by a couple of reviews for the Old Metairie location, so when the restaurant opened an outlet in Elmwood, we decided to try it. We've eaten here a couple of times now. It's a fast food restaurant. You order at a counter, pay then and there, and they bring the food to you when cooked. A little classier than a straight burger joint. I've tried the shrimp kabobs, the steak roll-ups with potatoes salad, and the GRÃœBEN (grilled turkey and Swiss on rye) with their slaw. All were good. The sides take some adjusting to as they don't add any mayo or oils to them. Which is alright, once you accept that you are basically eating a cold baked potato without the flavorful (and fattening) extras of a Louisiana potato salad. My wife dumped their steak kabobs once she discovered their tabouli salad. She had them add some grilled chicken to it with a side of roasted vegetables. The original favorite is now a distance second. They have some tables outside the restaurant which is a pleasant option this time of the year. With the slight Spring breezes, you can ignore Elmwood's massive parking lot and enjoy the evening. Soon, summer will be here and the option of eating inside becomes much more appealing.

This place was awesome!! The entire menu was filled with fresh items and healthy choice foods. I ordered the steak kabobs and they are a must try. They were delicious and they came with veggies and roasted potatoes. I will be back here soon. I had a side rice pilaf which was yummy. All items were also seasoned and tasty. My first 5 star review

Bebs P.
Zöes offers vegetarian and vegan options. I ordered a no mayo tuna pita sandwhich which was great and came warm. Along with this a no ham!! Side of white beans, this is a big deal for anyone who loves beans and just can't find them out there w/o ham!!! A little on the oily side though I have to say. Very good place for a fast food/sit down place. Will def return.

Excellent food. I had the chicken pita wrap and the orzo said. Absolutely love the orzo salad. For a quick and fresh tasting meal, this is your place.

Jennifer B.
Mmmm... the Grilled Chicken & Slaw pita is delightful! I had this, paired with the braised white beans, and the entire meal was absolutely delicious. I'm glad there is a new lunch option near my office. They seem to have online ordering too, which I haven't tried but certainly will in the future. Quickly prepared, fresh ingredients, reasonably priced, and very, very tasty.

Well I decided to lay off the greasy spoon diners and give this place a try. This business is one of the new additions of restaurants in the area. This place is like the fast food version of a Mediterranean restaurant. It wasn't exactly what I expected. You place your order with the cashier. They hand you a number and a cup for the soda. You wait and they bring you your food. I know they have a tip jar up front. Seriously if the customer does most of the work why do they think they need a tip? Still the pretty girl behind the counter was nice to me though. I ordered the grilled chicken dinner. The dinner came with a piece of grilled chicken, roasted vegetables and white beans seasoned with rosemary. The vegetables were pretty good. The white beans were fantastic! That is first time I tried white beans with Rosemary. The chicken was also good. I could tell one thing though, the food was fresh! Also the condiments at the tables were as follows: sea salt,peppercorn,and greek salad dressing. The sea salt and pepper were in the grinder shakers. Something you don't see too often at restaurants. The decor was an eyesore,between the orange and lime green wallpaper, same colors for the booths, tables and chairs. It was so hideous that I thought my eyes were going to bleed! The music was just as bad. I am not really a fan of techno hip hop, or new age. I thought my ears were going to bleed listening to that! In fact these were the reasons that this place was not given a 5 star review. In short this place has great food, but I highly recommend that you make your order to go!

I like the food, not fried. I had the salmon kabob - cooked the way I like it and tasty. Limeade - very refreshing. Kind of noisy, with a lot of new mom's and kids, but I could still have a conversation with the person I was with.

Rachel P.
Zoe's kitchen is the best for Greek food. I love their salads; especially their orzo salad. The chicken is grilled and you get more than enough. They have Greek dressing on every table so don't bother paying for extra. The veggies are always fresh. The food is delicious. The chicken salad is AWESOME! Has a kid menu as well! The line is never long when I've gone. Very clean as well.
(5)
Faith A.
I can take it or leave it, kinda place. However, if I am in that area and I want something quick but not fast food this is my go to place because I am always in and out. It brands itself as being fresh/healthy but if you are really health conscience read the nutrition facts before you order or you might be in for a shock that your hummus just cost you your day.

Jerry G.
Ate there on Saturday had the steak kabobs really good restaurant had food all over floor lady who was wiping tables would drop all the food on the floor they were out of a lot of their fountain drinks so we opted for tea which was good you could tell there was no management present but overall good!

I went to the opening of Zoës Kitchen for lunch today and left impressed. The space is clean and bright and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Opening day can be a mess, but they seemed to have their act together. I had the Grüben- more of a Rachel than a Reuben, with grilled turkey, swiss and coleslaw- and it was a little lighter on the spicy mustard than I'd like, but it was well made and on par with the Reuben from Theo's down the street. The pasta salad I had on the side had great big chunks of feta cheese, which is hard to beat, and lots of basil. I felt that I got my money's worth and spent less than $10 while there. The clearview parkway mall seems to be undergoing a huge boom in new businesses. The lunchtime fast casual crowd has a number of choices to pick from these days, including the new Chipotle, Theo's Pizzeria and Pinkberry. I think Zoës is a good compromise- faster than Theo's with a more diverse menu than Chipotle. Anyway, I had a great lunch and I'll be back the next time I'm stuck in Harahan.

I've been here 3 or 4 times since they've opened. It's one of those fast food hybrid restaurants, you order at the counter and get your own drink and utensils and then your order is brought to your table. However, the quality of the food is definitely above that of fast food. For me the appeal is it's quick and fairly inexpensive but you feel like you're eating a real meal. The menu is Mediterranean inspired, lots of bold yummy flavors. I also appreciate that they offer some gluten free options. Oh they also have limeade and a few other beverage options other than just soda. So far everything I've tried has been tasty, but my favorite is the steak kabob entree. Two marinated steak kabobs served with veggies and roasted potatoes, plenty of food for 11 or $12. Definitely worth trying out if you're in the area for any reason.

Kym A.
Tried Zoe's for the first time and was pretty disappointed. I ordered the grilled chicken dinner and the chicken breast was smaller than the palm of my hand (and I have small hands). Not to mention it was WAY overcooked. It was so hard I couldn't even cut it with a knife. The "grilled" veggies were not grilled, were undercooked and ice cold. Pasta salad was dry and lacked flavor. My boyfriend and I spent $30 on a meal that was awful. Not sure I'll be back anytime soon.

Clay K.
Service was subpar. Girl behind the register had no clue of what was in the spinach wrap. She told us there weren't mushrooms in them when the menu clearly says it does. My girlfriend has an allergy to mushrooms so we chose not to gamble on the cashiers literacy. The food was mediocre. The lettuce had seen better days. The pasta salad was good but dry since it contains no oil products. My Gruben was good and was one positive to our experience. The decor is atrocious. We will not return.

Dennis G.
I've frequented the Metairie Rd. location of Zoes for some time, so when I learned on was opening in Harahan near where I work I was delighted. For me the great lunch deal is the Pick Two. It's half a sandwich (chicken/egg/tuna salad, turkey, or pimento cheese) and a side/soup/salad. Throw in the limeade and I'm set for lunch for sure. I like the tuna salad myself, and the pimento cheese is amazing but so not in my diet these days. For sides I like the pasta salad or the potato salad. Sometimes I'll even get a side Greek salad. If you have a sweet tooth, finish off with a giant cookie. BTW, Zoes now has an app that lets you snap a picture of receipts for a loyalty program. So far I've earned things like a free drink.

Jeannie P.
I've eaten at another Zoes so decided it was worth another shot. Gabe and I was on our way to catch a movie so we wanted something quick and ...well...good. So what's quick and good? Not this place. It wasn't quick and the food was tasteless. Surprisingly, the place was busy. Maybe we ordered the wrong thing. I got the Greek chicken pita with caramelized onions. No flavor at all. The pasta salad was just ok. Don't know if I'd choose this place again when there're better options in the area.

All right, all right my NOLA Peeps, and wandering Foodies.. Here is my schmeer on Zoës Kitchen in Elmwood.. First, let me say, how pleased I am to be getting some more appetizing food options here in the Elmwood area, I mean, Smilie's, is just not the place to go for good food, if you are starving, and would rather not die, than please, go to Smilies, but not for a real enjoyable dining experience. Zoës Kitchen has been a nice place for lunch on 2 occasions for me. Now, mind you, on both occasions, the service was SLOW but the food was GOOD. First time, I had: The Gruben, or a Grilled Chicken Ruben, with the grilled Veggies on the side. The sandwich was tasty, the veggies were a little on the overdone side, which for the broccoli, was not a good thing, and never is. The second time I had: The Chicken Salad Sandwich, with the beans on the side.. Sandwich, once again, was good, although the visible handprint smashing the bread together, I could have done without, I mean, food is as much about aesthetics as actual flavor, so, please read this Zoës, and tell your cooks to STOP manhandling the delicate bread.. The Beans, were very good.. Overall, Zoës is a great place for a long lunch, but not a great place to go for a quick bite.. Your Big, Easy, Daddy...

I am really into Zoe's Kitchen! I'm not a big chain restaurant goer, probably because we have way too many choices that are locally originated, but if I happen to be in the Elmwood are I am down for some Zoe's. So far I have had the hummus which is smooth and delicious, I've had better, but Zoe's is still pretty yummy. I've had a salad and the crack dressing they conveniently have on each table, yummy! The chicken salad is where it's at though!! It's just they way I like it, just like tuna salad, but with chicken, and they put finely shredded lettuce and a tomato slice on top. I need to remember to ask them to toast the bread next time though, that is just how I perfer a chicken salad sandwich. It just makes sense right, crunchy crusty outside, soft and mushy inside! Last time I went I had a bowl of tomato bisque that was topped with some basil, and hald a chicken salad sandwich. It was a perfect lunch. I cant wait to go back, maybe I'll find myself in Elmwood sooner than I expect!

We were fasting & decided to try their vegan menu. I ordered the veggie pita pizza, hubby ordered the veggie kabobs, kids had chicken salad sandwiches w fruit cups. Food comes after 20 minutes & they tell my husband they were out of veggie kabobs. So they bring him the salad & beans that werw included, well it was covered in feta cheese so he couldn't eat it! They did refund (took 5 days to show) but I wish they would of told us upon ordering. Everything tasted good & they're new & busy so I'll give tgem a second chance!

I've been to Zoe's several times, and it ALWAYS impresses me! The staff is prompt, courteous, and professional. The atmosphere is bright, fresh, clean. AND last but certainly not least, the food! It's consistently delicious and fresh and you cannot beat the price. My favorites: hummus, tabbouleh salad, and spinach wraps. Happy eating, y'all!

Finally remembered that Zoes was open and had lunch there with my teenage date. I forget that it is Meditterrean inspired, but if that sounds weird to you, focus on the word "inspired". You won't find a whole lamb roasting here. Zoes has a good selection of sandwiches, salads and entrees. The portions are adequate; I think you would leave satisfied after having an entree or sandwich. Side options are varied and delicious. This is part of the new wave of upscale fast food. Located in the new mecca for these eateries, Elmwood provides plenty of seating and parking to enjoy a dining experience at Zoes. It can be pricey for fast food, but that's why I described it as upscale. It's perfect for a bite after shopping, running errands or in combination with a movie at the palace. This is a good place if you're not sure what you want or have someone is trying to maintain a New Years Resolution. I had the steak stack sandwich and highly recommend it. It was deliciously crafted and very filling. I couldn't even finish my side of veggies, but I didn't care because the sandwich was worth each bite. My teenage companion (who isn't particularly picky). He ordered the shrimp skewers entree and was enamored. It was accompanied by a side salad and cucumber dipping sauce with pita. Can I tell you that this bottomless pit of boy was full and satisfied? At least for about an hour or so, which I have learned is typical for teenage boys. He really enjoyed it and I did too...all for the bargain price of $20.

My dad was out of town, so that means we got a break from viet food for Sunday brunch. I wanted to take my mom to try a new place. She's not someone who eats out often and is always up for trying new things. The place wasn't packed like the first time I'd gone and there was absolutely no line for ordering. I chose the hummus and salad platter with the steak wrap and a side of steamed veggies. The food and drink cost around $18 altogether. We got our number and chose a two person booth to wait for our order. It didn't take long until someone came out with her two plates. I was surprised to find out my mom didn't care for hummus, but that's okay because I love hummus. She at her half of the wraps which I was really surprised because she doesn't eat much. I wish I had known the steak wrap had mushrooms, because I don't care to eat mushrooms ever. It was tolerable until the end where I just picked every piece out. I wish they had better salad dressing however. I didn't care for the bottle sitting on the table. I felt bad because I had poured too much dressing and my mom didn't care for it. So she stuck away from the rest of the salad, so I had to finish it. Overall I'd say minus the dressing, we both left pretty stuffed. I have yet to really try anything to wow me however. It might be a while before I come back and try it out. I just find I can get this type of food for even better elsewhere.

Arrived there. No one was in line. Ordered and paid quickly. We got our drinks. Sat down. Around us were three dirty tables. The tables stayed dirty for a while. No one wants to see that when they are eating. The food arrived quickly. It was really good! I had the chicken kabobs. It came with a salad, pita bread, and rice. There is salad dressing on the table for you to use. It was very tasty. It's like an oil and vinegar with a Greek flare. I loved the 3 different types of hummus app. The pesto hummus is my favorite.

Enrique O.
We have eaten here about 7 times in the last few weeks. The food has been consistently very good. Salads and sandwiches have always been fresh and made with quality ingredients. They even use fresh basil in their salads. No cheap dried stuff. I highly recommend this place. I know food, having been a chef once upon a time. I am very critical of food. Service is very friendly. Zoe's just has a winning combination of all that matters in a eatery. Congratulations, Zoe's, on your success. You have earned it!

My new favorite place for take out! We have ordered from here at least 4-5 times now and each time has been consistently good. We call ahead and place our order and it's ready to be picked up within about 15 minutes. (We generally order on the weekends in the late afternoon, so it's not a busy time.) The staff are friendly and the food is excellent! My favorite item to order is the salmon kabobs. It comes with a generous portion of Greek salad, pita bread, hummus and Tzatziki sauce. It's delicious! My boyfriend likes to order the beef kabobs and they are accompanied by roasted red potatoes and assorted grilled vegetables. Out of the other items we have tried so far, I would also recommend the chicken gyro, the Quinoa salad and the pimento cheese sandwich (I asked for 7 grain bread rather then the Rye bread...Not a fan of Rye bread). Everything is packed nicely for take out and arrives home in good order. Most times, I eat the Greek salad the next day because I have been full from the rest of the meal. The salad still holds up well the next day. The vinagrette they use is so good. We are definitely fans of here and will be back.

Went here before a movie, and the service was kind of slow. There weren't that many people in the establishment for it to be like that. I ordered a steak sandwich of sorts. The steak was rather tough, and the fact that the wait was kind of long we barely made it to our movie. I wouldn't have stopped in here if I wanted to wait like an actual restaurant.

I have given Zoe's many, many chances at multiple locations to impress me and each time it just hasn't happened. Elmwood is a sea of (mostly unhealthy) chain eateries, so I really, really want to like this place since it tries to offer a healthier option. Unfortunately, the food is just really, really basic and lacks the great flavors that make Mediterranean food so good. Last week I came here and ordered the Chicken Roll Ups. It's advertised as "tortillas, feta, tomato, caramelized onions, dipping salsa, and feta" and comes with a side. Sounds tasty right? I thought so too. What I got were a few small pieces of tortilla, each rolled around one small piece of lukewarm chicken. There were maybe 2 small pieces of tomato in each tortilla, with some generic melted cheese in each one which tasted nothing like feta. If the caramelized onions were on the plate, I certainly didn't taste them in the dish. The dipping salsa was completely missing from the show-I was going to ask them about it but didn't want to wait in the huge line that had formed at the counter. The dish tasted almost exactly like a Hot Pocket-you can definitely tell this is Mediterranean food attempted by someone from Alabama. My side was a Side Greek Salad which was actually the best part of the meal, but anyone can throw some lettuce, feta, tomatoes, and a few peppers together. I will give them this: their house salad dressing is pretty damn good. I also got a side of hummus and it was extremely forgettable. For what my meal came out to, $15 and some change with a drink, I was expecting waaaaay more. Unfortunately, I've ordered multiple things here and the simple truth is that the food is just overpriced for what it is. If you want to do healthy in Elmwood, go to City Greens. It's expensive but at least the food is worth it.

Finding fast food that's fresh ain't so easy when you're out in Metry or Kenna' City but Zoe's Kitchen is it. Period. After a voracious epic jaunt through Party City, I need something fresh and fast. The half sandwich and side with a drink is under $10... Perfectly filling and didn't put me to sleep at 2-sies. I had the chicken salad sandwich, the marinated slaw, and a green tea hibiscus tea ( unsweetened until you put 4 splendas in it). Slaw wasn't suuuuper marinated not nothing the uh-mainf housemade Greek Dressing can't fix to jazz up an already tasty slaw. The sandwich was fresh and delicious but I would've preferred a more toasted bread to bring some crunch to the 'wich but still worth my while. Stations were clean and service was nice AND you can order before you get there and scoop it up faster than you can spell MISSISSIPPI. I'll be back for fresh, er fo' sure.

Zoes in Elmwood is very hit or miss, unfortunately I've had more misses than hits. Usually this place is crowded and better at lunch and less crowded and gross at dinner. With a chain restaurant, consistency is key - if I order kabobs, they should come out hot, not chilly. This place is a decent place to grab a quick salad, but I would not get any of their hot dishes - most of the time they are lukewarm at best. The only way I will go here is if someone else suggests to go.

AuraLee P.
Relatively healthy alternative to the other chain food options in the area. Everything on the menu that's vegan or vegetarian is clearly labeled as such, so if you're looking for something that doesn't have meat in it it's easy to see what your options are. And there are plenty of options! This is one of those places where you order/pay at the counter, they give you a number, and then you sit and wait for your food to be brought to you. You can also place your order online and pick it up in-store. The food itself is alright. Definitely an Americanized version of Mediterranean food but it's not bad. There are a fair number of salad and sandwich choices (both on bread and in pita) as well as bigger entrees like steak kebabs and grilled chicken breasts. Sides include white beans seasoned with rosemary, no-mayo roasted red potato salad, rice pilaf and fruit salad. Portions are filling and the prices are reasonable. I'm a fan of the spinach roll-ups; essentially two burrito-esque wraps that have fresh spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese, and mushrooms in it. Dipped in their hummus (which is smooth and pleasantly tangy) it makes for a nice and pretty healthy meal. Overall, they're good if you're looking for a healthier alternative to other chain fast food places, but not something I'd go out of my way for.

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.

Good food and music. I love the kabobs and pita. I think I will come back to enjoy it again.

Great food and always fresh! Kabobs and the protein power plate are my favorites.

This is like Semi-fast food. It's not really fast but close, kind of like jogging or one of those Jetson like people movers in airports of food. You order at the counter, take a number then food appears a few minutes later. It's a sandwich/salad/soup type place that is pseudo Greek in it's style. I got the a sandwich called the steak stack. There was a portebello muchsroom, tomatoes, grilled onions, mozzarella cheese, and apparently steak on a 2 grilled slices of regular bread. There was some meat on it but it wasn't "steak". I'm not expecting USDA prime beef but this was worse than the steak sub at Subway. The sanwich was just ok at best. It came with a side and I chose the pasta salad. It was just pasta shells, feta cheese, tomatoes and green onions. No liquid or sauce to hold it together. Again just ok. When I was there the place was somewhat of a mess. The fountain Coke display was just a wreck. Ice and spilled coke were on the floor. They were out of silverware and no one really was even trying to fix the area. I don't know kind of a less than stellar impression.

I really like Zoës Kitchen. I've been making an effort to eat healthier and this place is one that I have visited quite often in the past month. I always order for pickup, so I can't rate a dining experience. One thing about me: If I really like something, I will stick with it. My relationship with Zoës has been primarily with the shrimp kabob entrées. It comes with two charbroiled kabobs, zucchini, rice pilaf, cucumber raita, and a side greek salad. And at about $10, the price is right! I've ordered the steak kabobs on the side with my entrée and I must say that the steak is always very tender and flavorful as well. Additionally, I tried the Chicken and Orzo soup. The broth had a good flavor, but I don't think there were enough of the carrots, orzo, and chicken in it. Or maybe I just got the bottom of pot.... Thus far, I have not been disappointed in Zoës. I've never had any customer service issues, but the one time they made a mistake on my order, it was corrected and they did not charge me the difference owed. So I'd say that I am please with their customer service as well. I keep saying the next time I visit I will order something different, so I look forward to trying their hummus (with hopes that it will be good enough that I'll want to recreate it at home)! :)
(4)Misty T.
I love this place so much! The steak kabobs are so yummy and every bite is delish. I found my new favorite place :) I wish they would open one in the West Bank because both locations are is over the river. But for now my bf will just have to make that drive!
(5)Amy S.
The food is awesome and the staff is good for the most part. They do keep track if they are taking too long and offer something free. They do get very busy around lunch time and it can be hard to get a table.
(4)Sarah M.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmm! So delicious. It's difficult to make things taste healthy and yummy at the same time. This place does it. Huge selection on Greek(ish) food. Really cute on the inside. Reasonably priced. What's not to like?
(4)Chase B.
It's a cute little place, but I've never paid for more bland food in my life. The chicken salad was so underseasoned. Maybe I should give it another shot, but I just never have the urge to.
(2)Audrey H.
Ok, it's a chain, but I very much enjoyed this food. I have a Greek friend who loves to eat at Byblos, so Greek food can't be that hard to mess up. I had a great experience here with my friend. Very simple and clean.
(4)Shercole K.
I had to update my review. They recently added a Salmon Kabob, that is pretty amazing. I absolutely adore it. The salmon is just so juicy and wonderful. Mmmm it's definitely a trip you need to try out along with their tasty hummus. I love this location for weekend lunches. It's great location to just sit and enjoy a bite to eat while running errands.
(4)Brittaney V.
OMG! Yes yes yes yes yes. Zoe's Kitchen is the place to go. Healthy options that are super yummy. Only downfall is that it can be a bit pricy. I suggest the salmon kebabs and the basil pesto hummus! My husband likes the steak kebabs. It's usually always busy, but the food doesn't take too long to come out. You wait in line to order your food, take a number, and then sit down. They will bring your food to you.
(5)Michael J C.
Decided to try Zoe's on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. The food and atmosphere was refreshing. I ordered the Steak Stack grilled sandwich (comes on Sourdough - mmmhm) with a side of the potato salad. Both were mouth watering delicious and thoroughly enjoyed the healthy alternatives to some of your typical ingredients. The staff was very friendly and food was brought to the table in a short amount of time. I will definitely return and recommend this gem to friends and family.
(5)Lisa P.
Love the healthy options! Basil pesto hummus is delicious as is the braised white beans! The steak wrap is also great!
(5)Bryan S.
Surprisingly excellent food, went on a weekday and loved the the menu. You have to order and pay at the back, but the prices were resonable and our chicken wraps, turkey sandwiches and salads were all wonderful. Highly recommend!
(4)Dan H.
First time visit. My wife and I are always on the lookout for healthier options. Seems this place may fill the bill. Everything was very fresh and tasty. Will definitely return to explore the ample menu options.
(4)Kurt L.
Followed Rachel and went with the grilled steak kabobs. I had them last time and liked them a lot. So I stick with the "geaux with what you know" menu. My friend says that "we should have gotten some hummus and pita bread..." well-- the 10 people next to us got served before us and sat down 20 min later. And it feels like we are going to fall out of these tall chairs...
(3)Jay S.
Love this place. When I eat here I typically have the chicken kabobs entree, it comes on a bed of rice with a Greek salad and pita bread. On the days I have a larger appetite I add braised white beans. This place is the right place to go with if your looking for a healthier option while your out. You can order much of what's on this menu without having to feel guilty afterwards.
(4)Amalie T.
I love love love the protein power plate. Great chicken but, surprisingly, I adore the cole slaw as much if not more than the chicken. Fresh and tasty!
(5)Gene M.
Borat once said "VERY NIZE" ! I like the new zoes app. Anytime I get a bribe with free cake im in it ! Place is clean and bright. Steak kabobs are the best thing on the menu. Cheers...
(4)Jourdan E.
I love Zoës kitchen! I'm not a fan of their kabobs or roll ups, but their salads are amazing! I love the fresh salads here more than any other restaurant. All of the veggies are very fresh and their dressing isn't salty. It's the greatest mix. My favorite salad has pasta salad in it! It's great! I'd suggest trying this place for a nice little casual dinner outing. I just recently tried their Mediterranean chicken and ate everything, which I rarely ever do.
(4)Lynn W.
Love me some mediterranean! I can eat it several times a week. Decided to dip in here and boy were they quick. Me being me, could not come to a decision so I chose the hummus for starter ( delish) and chicken salad sandwich for my main. My chosen side was white beans. I was pleasantly surprised. You can definitely count on me to come back around here.
(4)Roger B.
Our interest in this franchised operation was originally tweaked by a couple of reviews for the Old Metairie location, so when the restaurant opened an outlet in Elmwood, we decided to try it. We've eaten here a couple of times now. It's a fast food restaurant. You order at a counter, pay then and there, and they bring the food to you when cooked. A little classier than a straight burger joint. I've tried the shrimp kabobs, the steak roll-ups with potatoes salad, and the GRÃœBEN (grilled turkey and Swiss on rye) with their slaw. All were good. The sides take some adjusting to as they don't add any mayo or oils to them. Which is alright, once you accept that you are basically eating a cold baked potato without the flavorful (and fattening) extras of a Louisiana potato salad. My wife dumped their steak kabobs once she discovered their tabouli salad. She had them add some grilled chicken to it with a side of roasted vegetables. The original favorite is now a distance second. They have some tables outside the restaurant which is a pleasant option this time of the year. With the slight Spring breezes, you can ignore Elmwood's massive parking lot and enjoy the evening. Soon, summer will be here and the option of eating inside becomes much more appealing.
(3)Morgan W.
This place was awesome!! The entire menu was filled with fresh items and healthy choice foods. I ordered the steak kabobs and they are a must try. They were delicious and they came with veggies and roasted potatoes. I will be back here soon. I had a side rice pilaf which was yummy. All items were also seasoned and tasty. My first 5 star review
(5)Bebs P.
Zöes offers vegetarian and vegan options. I ordered a no mayo tuna pita sandwhich which was great and came warm. Along with this a no ham!! Side of white beans, this is a big deal for anyone who loves beans and just can't find them out there w/o ham!!! A little on the oily side though I have to say. Very good place for a fast food/sit down place. Will def return.
(3)Alan G.
Excellent food. I had the chicken pita wrap and the orzo said. Absolutely love the orzo salad. For a quick and fresh tasting meal, this is your place.
(4)Jennifer B.
Mmmm... the Grilled Chicken & Slaw pita is delightful! I had this, paired with the braised white beans, and the entire meal was absolutely delicious. I'm glad there is a new lunch option near my office. They seem to have online ordering too, which I haven't tried but certainly will in the future. Quickly prepared, fresh ingredients, reasonably priced, and very, very tasty.
(4)Danon H.
Well I decided to lay off the greasy spoon diners and give this place a try. This business is one of the new additions of restaurants in the area. This place is like the fast food version of a Mediterranean restaurant. It wasn't exactly what I expected. You place your order with the cashier. They hand you a number and a cup for the soda. You wait and they bring you your food. I know they have a tip jar up front. Seriously if the customer does most of the work why do they think they need a tip? Still the pretty girl behind the counter was nice to me though. I ordered the grilled chicken dinner. The dinner came with a piece of grilled chicken, roasted vegetables and white beans seasoned with rosemary. The vegetables were pretty good. The white beans were fantastic! That is first time I tried white beans with Rosemary. The chicken was also good. I could tell one thing though, the food was fresh! Also the condiments at the tables were as follows: sea salt,peppercorn,and greek salad dressing. The sea salt and pepper were in the grinder shakers. Something you don't see too often at restaurants. The decor was an eyesore,between the orange and lime green wallpaper, same colors for the booths, tables and chairs. It was so hideous that I thought my eyes were going to bleed! The music was just as bad. I am not really a fan of techno hip hop, or new age. I thought my ears were going to bleed listening to that! In fact these were the reasons that this place was not given a 5 star review. In short this place has great food, but I highly recommend that you make your order to go!
(4)Debora H.
I like the food, not fried. I had the salmon kabob - cooked the way I like it and tasty. Limeade - very refreshing. Kind of noisy, with a lot of new mom's and kids, but I could still have a conversation with the person I was with.
(3)Rachel P.
Zoe's kitchen is the best for Greek food. I love their salads; especially their orzo salad. The chicken is grilled and you get more than enough. They have Greek dressing on every table so don't bother paying for extra. The veggies are always fresh. The food is delicious. The chicken salad is AWESOME! Has a kid menu as well! The line is never long when I've gone. Very clean as well.
(5)Faith A.
I can take it or leave it, kinda place. However, if I am in that area and I want something quick but not fast food this is my go to place because I am always in and out. It brands itself as being fresh/healthy but if you are really health conscience read the nutrition facts before you order or you might be in for a shock that your hummus just cost you your day.
(3)Jerry G.
Ate there on Saturday had the steak kabobs really good restaurant had food all over floor lady who was wiping tables would drop all the food on the floor they were out of a lot of their fountain drinks so we opted for tea which was good you could tell there was no management present but overall good!
(3)Pat T.
I went to the opening of Zoës Kitchen for lunch today and left impressed. The space is clean and bright and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Opening day can be a mess, but they seemed to have their act together. I had the Grüben- more of a Rachel than a Reuben, with grilled turkey, swiss and coleslaw- and it was a little lighter on the spicy mustard than I'd like, but it was well made and on par with the Reuben from Theo's down the street. The pasta salad I had on the side had great big chunks of feta cheese, which is hard to beat, and lots of basil. I felt that I got my money's worth and spent less than $10 while there. The clearview parkway mall seems to be undergoing a huge boom in new businesses. The lunchtime fast casual crowd has a number of choices to pick from these days, including the new Chipotle, Theo's Pizzeria and Pinkberry. I think Zoës is a good compromise- faster than Theo's with a more diverse menu than Chipotle. Anyway, I had a great lunch and I'll be back the next time I'm stuck in Harahan.
(4)Lamar S.
soooo good. great place to eat and bring friends
(5)Erica F.
Great fresh options. Loved the braised white beans with rosemary. Tried the steak roll ups and they are delicious. They have so many options and perfect size portions. Definitely will return so I can try more.
(5)Lila R.
I've been here 3 or 4 times since they've opened. It's one of those fast food hybrid restaurants, you order at the counter and get your own drink and utensils and then your order is brought to your table. However, the quality of the food is definitely above that of fast food. For me the appeal is it's quick and fairly inexpensive but you feel like you're eating a real meal. The menu is Mediterranean inspired, lots of bold yummy flavors. I also appreciate that they offer some gluten free options. Oh they also have limeade and a few other beverage options other than just soda. So far everything I've tried has been tasty, but my favorite is the steak kabob entree. Two marinated steak kabobs served with veggies and roasted potatoes, plenty of food for 11 or $12. Definitely worth trying out if you're in the area for any reason.
(4)Kym A.
Tried Zoe's for the first time and was pretty disappointed. I ordered the grilled chicken dinner and the chicken breast was smaller than the palm of my hand (and I have small hands). Not to mention it was WAY overcooked. It was so hard I couldn't even cut it with a knife. The "grilled" veggies were not grilled, were undercooked and ice cold. Pasta salad was dry and lacked flavor. My boyfriend and I spent $30 on a meal that was awful. Not sure I'll be back anytime soon.
(2)Clay K.
Service was subpar. Girl behind the register had no clue of what was in the spinach wrap. She told us there weren't mushrooms in them when the menu clearly says it does. My girlfriend has an allergy to mushrooms so we chose not to gamble on the cashiers literacy. The food was mediocre. The lettuce had seen better days. The pasta salad was good but dry since it contains no oil products. My Gruben was good and was one positive to our experience. The decor is atrocious. We will not return.
(2)Dennis G.
I've frequented the Metairie Rd. location of Zoes for some time, so when I learned on was opening in Harahan near where I work I was delighted. For me the great lunch deal is the Pick Two. It's half a sandwich (chicken/egg/tuna salad, turkey, or pimento cheese) and a side/soup/salad. Throw in the limeade and I'm set for lunch for sure. I like the tuna salad myself, and the pimento cheese is amazing but so not in my diet these days. For sides I like the pasta salad or the potato salad. Sometimes I'll even get a side Greek salad. If you have a sweet tooth, finish off with a giant cookie. BTW, Zoes now has an app that lets you snap a picture of receipts for a loyalty program. So far I've earned things like a free drink.
(4)Jeannie P.
I've eaten at another Zoes so decided it was worth another shot. Gabe and I was on our way to catch a movie so we wanted something quick and ...well...good. So what's quick and good? Not this place. It wasn't quick and the food was tasteless. Surprisingly, the place was busy. Maybe we ordered the wrong thing. I got the Greek chicken pita with caramelized onions. No flavor at all. The pasta salad was just ok. Don't know if I'd choose this place again when there're better options in the area.
(2)William H. B.
The quantity, freshness and everything else is excellent. We eat mostly the Paleo diet and found Zoes to be very accommodating.
(5)Jeff O.
Overpriced for what we ordered. Nice change, will probably give it another try.
(3)James B.
All right, all right my NOLA Peeps, and wandering Foodies.. Here is my schmeer on Zoës Kitchen in Elmwood.. First, let me say, how pleased I am to be getting some more appetizing food options here in the Elmwood area, I mean, Smilie's, is just not the place to go for good food, if you are starving, and would rather not die, than please, go to Smilies, but not for a real enjoyable dining experience. Zoës Kitchen has been a nice place for lunch on 2 occasions for me. Now, mind you, on both occasions, the service was SLOW but the food was GOOD. First time, I had: The Gruben, or a Grilled Chicken Ruben, with the grilled Veggies on the side. The sandwich was tasty, the veggies were a little on the overdone side, which for the broccoli, was not a good thing, and never is. The second time I had: The Chicken Salad Sandwich, with the beans on the side.. Sandwich, once again, was good, although the visible handprint smashing the bread together, I could have done without, I mean, food is as much about aesthetics as actual flavor, so, please read this Zoës, and tell your cooks to STOP manhandling the delicate bread.. The Beans, were very good.. Overall, Zoës is a great place for a long lunch, but not a great place to go for a quick bite.. Your Big, Easy, Daddy...
(4)Katie T.
I am really into Zoe's Kitchen! I'm not a big chain restaurant goer, probably because we have way too many choices that are locally originated, but if I happen to be in the Elmwood are I am down for some Zoe's. So far I have had the hummus which is smooth and delicious, I've had better, but Zoe's is still pretty yummy. I've had a salad and the crack dressing they conveniently have on each table, yummy! The chicken salad is where it's at though!! It's just they way I like it, just like tuna salad, but with chicken, and they put finely shredded lettuce and a tomato slice on top. I need to remember to ask them to toast the bread next time though, that is just how I perfer a chicken salad sandwich. It just makes sense right, crunchy crusty outside, soft and mushy inside! Last time I went I had a bowl of tomato bisque that was topped with some basil, and hald a chicken salad sandwich. It was a perfect lunch. I cant wait to go back, maybe I'll find myself in Elmwood sooner than I expect!
(4)Jenna Z.
We were fasting & decided to try their vegan menu. I ordered the veggie pita pizza, hubby ordered the veggie kabobs, kids had chicken salad sandwiches w fruit cups. Food comes after 20 minutes & they tell my husband they were out of veggie kabobs. So they bring him the salad & beans that werw included, well it was covered in feta cheese so he couldn't eat it! They did refund (took 5 days to show) but I wish they would of told us upon ordering. Everything tasted good & they're new & busy so I'll give tgem a second chance!
(4)Quin A.
I've been to Zoe's several times, and it ALWAYS impresses me! The staff is prompt, courteous, and professional. The atmosphere is bright, fresh, clean. AND last but certainly not least, the food! It's consistently delicious and fresh and you cannot beat the price. My favorites: hummus, tabbouleh salad, and spinach wraps. Happy eating, y'all!
(5)Jen F.
This food has my heart. I absolutely love it! The chicken roll ups are amazing!!!

Finally remembered that Zoes was open and had lunch there with my teenage date. I forget that it is Meditterrean inspired, but if that sounds weird to you, focus on the word "inspired". You won't find a whole lamb roasting here. Zoes has a good selection of sandwiches, salads and entrees. The portions are adequate; I think you would leave satisfied after having an entree or sandwich. Side options are varied and delicious. This is part of the new wave of upscale fast food. Located in the new mecca for these eateries, Elmwood provides plenty of seating and parking to enjoy a dining experience at Zoes. It can be pricey for fast food, but that's why I described it as upscale. It's perfect for a bite after shopping, running errands or in combination with a movie at the palace. This is a good place if you're not sure what you want or have someone is trying to maintain a New Years Resolution. I had the steak stack sandwich and highly recommend it. It was deliciously crafted and very filling. I couldn't even finish my side of veggies, but I didn't care because the sandwich was worth each bite. My teenage companion (who isn't particularly picky). He ordered the shrimp skewers entree and was enamored. It was accompanied by a side salad and cucumber dipping sauce with pita. Can I tell you that this bottomless pit of boy was full and satisfied? At least for about an hour or so, which I have learned is typical for teenage boys. He really enjoyed it and I did too...all for the bargain price of $20.
(3)Lina T.
My dad was out of town, so that means we got a break from viet food for Sunday brunch. I wanted to take my mom to try a new place. She's not someone who eats out often and is always up for trying new things. The place wasn't packed like the first time I'd gone and there was absolutely no line for ordering. I chose the hummus and salad platter with the steak wrap and a side of steamed veggies. The food and drink cost around $18 altogether. We got our number and chose a two person booth to wait for our order. It didn't take long until someone came out with her two plates. I was surprised to find out my mom didn't care for hummus, but that's okay because I love hummus. She at her half of the wraps which I was really surprised because she doesn't eat much. I wish I had known the steak wrap had mushrooms, because I don't care to eat mushrooms ever. It was tolerable until the end where I just picked every piece out. I wish they had better salad dressing however. I didn't care for the bottle sitting on the table. I felt bad because I had poured too much dressing and my mom didn't care for it. So she stuck away from the rest of the salad, so I had to finish it. Overall I'd say minus the dressing, we both left pretty stuffed. I have yet to really try anything to wow me however. It might be a while before I come back and try it out. I just find I can get this type of food for even better elsewhere.
(2)Michelle B.
Arrived there. No one was in line. Ordered and paid quickly. We got our drinks. Sat down. Around us were three dirty tables. The tables stayed dirty for a while. No one wants to see that when they are eating. The food arrived quickly. It was really good! I had the chicken kabobs. It came with a salad, pita bread, and rice. There is salad dressing on the table for you to use. It was very tasty. It's like an oil and vinegar with a Greek flare. I loved the 3 different types of hummus app. The pesto hummus is my favorite.
(4)Enrique O.
We have eaten here about 7 times in the last few weeks. The food has been consistently very good. Salads and sandwiches have always been fresh and made with quality ingredients. They even use fresh basil in their salads. No cheap dried stuff. I highly recommend this place. I know food, having been a chef once upon a time. I am very critical of food. Service is very friendly. Zoe's just has a winning combination of all that matters in a eatery. Congratulations, Zoe's, on your success. You have earned it!
(5)Dana P.
My new favorite place for take out! We have ordered from here at least 4-5 times now and each time has been consistently good. We call ahead and place our order and it's ready to be picked up within about 15 minutes. (We generally order on the weekends in the late afternoon, so it's not a busy time.) The staff are friendly and the food is excellent! My favorite item to order is the salmon kabobs. It comes with a generous portion of Greek salad, pita bread, hummus and Tzatziki sauce. It's delicious! My boyfriend likes to order the beef kabobs and they are accompanied by roasted red potatoes and assorted grilled vegetables. Out of the other items we have tried so far, I would also recommend the chicken gyro, the Quinoa salad and the pimento cheese sandwich (I asked for 7 grain bread rather then the Rye bread...Not a fan of Rye bread). Everything is packed nicely for take out and arrives home in good order. Most times, I eat the Greek salad the next day because I have been full from the rest of the meal. The salad still holds up well the next day. The vinagrette they use is so good. We are definitely fans of here and will be back.
(5)Heather T.
Went here before a movie, and the service was kind of slow. There weren't that many people in the establishment for it to be like that. I ordered a steak sandwich of sorts. The steak was rather tough, and the fact that the wait was kind of long we barely made it to our movie. I wouldn't have stopped in here if I wanted to wait like an actual restaurant.
(3)Aaron M.
I have given Zoe's many, many chances at multiple locations to impress me and each time it just hasn't happened. Elmwood is a sea of (mostly unhealthy) chain eateries, so I really, really want to like this place since it tries to offer a healthier option. Unfortunately, the food is just really, really basic and lacks the great flavors that make Mediterranean food so good. Last week I came here and ordered the Chicken Roll Ups. It's advertised as "tortillas, feta, tomato, caramelized onions, dipping salsa, and feta" and comes with a side. Sounds tasty right? I thought so too. What I got were a few small pieces of tortilla, each rolled around one small piece of lukewarm chicken. There were maybe 2 small pieces of tomato in each tortilla, with some generic melted cheese in each one which tasted nothing like feta. If the caramelized onions were on the plate, I certainly didn't taste them in the dish. The dipping salsa was completely missing from the show-I was going to ask them about it but didn't want to wait in the huge line that had formed at the counter. The dish tasted almost exactly like a Hot Pocket-you can definitely tell this is Mediterranean food attempted by someone from Alabama. My side was a Side Greek Salad which was actually the best part of the meal, but anyone can throw some lettuce, feta, tomatoes, and a few peppers together. I will give them this: their house salad dressing is pretty damn good. I also got a side of hummus and it was extremely forgettable. For what my meal came out to, $15 and some change with a drink, I was expecting waaaaay more. Unfortunately, I've ordered multiple things here and the simple truth is that the food is just overpriced for what it is. If you want to do healthy in Elmwood, go to City Greens. It's expensive but at least the food is worth it.
(2)Morgan F.
Finding fast food that's fresh ain't so easy when you're out in Metry or Kenna' City but Zoe's Kitchen is it. Period. After a voracious epic jaunt through Party City, I need something fresh and fast. The half sandwich and side with a drink is under $10... Perfectly filling and didn't put me to sleep at 2-sies. I had the chicken salad sandwich, the marinated slaw, and a green tea hibiscus tea ( unsweetened until you put 4 splendas in it). Slaw wasn't suuuuper marinated not nothing the uh-mainf housemade Greek Dressing can't fix to jazz up an already tasty slaw. The sandwich was fresh and delicious but I would've preferred a more toasted bread to bring some crunch to the 'wich but still worth my while. Stations were clean and service was nice AND you can order before you get there and scoop it up faster than you can spell MISSISSIPPI. I'll be back for fresh, er fo' sure.
(4)Mallory E.
Zoes in Elmwood is very hit or miss, unfortunately I've had more misses than hits. Usually this place is crowded and better at lunch and less crowded and gross at dinner. With a chain restaurant, consistency is key - if I order kabobs, they should come out hot, not chilly. This place is a decent place to grab a quick salad, but I would not get any of their hot dishes - most of the time they are lukewarm at best. The only way I will go here is if someone else suggests to go.
(2)AuraLee P.
Relatively healthy alternative to the other chain food options in the area. Everything on the menu that's vegan or vegetarian is clearly labeled as such, so if you're looking for something that doesn't have meat in it it's easy to see what your options are. And there are plenty of options! This is one of those places where you order/pay at the counter, they give you a number, and then you sit and wait for your food to be brought to you. You can also place your order online and pick it up in-store. The food itself is alright. Definitely an Americanized version of Mediterranean food but it's not bad. There are a fair number of salad and sandwich choices (both on bread and in pita) as well as bigger entrees like steak kebabs and grilled chicken breasts. Sides include white beans seasoned with rosemary, no-mayo roasted red potato salad, rice pilaf and fruit salad. Portions are filling and the prices are reasonable. I'm a fan of the spinach roll-ups; essentially two burrito-esque wraps that have fresh spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese, and mushrooms in it. Dipped in their hummus (which is smooth and pleasantly tangy) it makes for a nice and pretty healthy meal. Overall, they're good if you're looking for a healthier alternative to other chain fast food places, but not something I'd go out of my way for.
