Zoes Kitchen

My wife really loves this place. It's not my preferred type of food, but it does taste fresh and high quality so I'm not going to rate it less because of my personal preference. I think I just have a semi conscious bias against food that is marketed as healthy; which probably says more about me than the food... I will say that the steak kabobs we cooked rare to medium rare so that's a plus. My in laws we're saying that the portions at this location were larger than theirs in Houston but your mileage may vary. I do love the potato salad. Hard to find a place that does a more German style potato salad that doesn't have mayo (I just hate mayo, sorry not sorry mayo lovers), but they do a solid job here. Protip: you can get it pan fried for a warm crispy taste. It's a clean bright chain place, comforting and not jarring. Pour tout own drinks and refills, grab your own condiments and silverware. But you don't have to bus your own plates, so that's nice. All in all, would never be my first choice, but just because of personal preference, not because I can say anything bad about the place.

The food was great! I've had a fair bit of Mediterranean food and not only were the dishes and recipes nicely put together, but everything was executed really well. Some of the best falafel I've ever had. The grain mix in my bowl was balanced and tasty. The tzatziki was lovely. The pita was super soft and homemade tasting. The harissa was tasty and not at all bitter (I wish it were a bit spicier but I'm a spice fiend). They had three nice iced tea flavors. It goes on. It was all really good and the menu has something for everyone.

I'm a big fan of this place for fast healthy food. I think it's advertised as Greek food, but it seems to be a mixture of Greek ingredients without feeling like Greek dishes (not that I'd count it against Zoe's). Honestly, I come here about once a week in the afternoon and I'm never disappointed and I walk away feeling like I didn't just shovel a bunch of garbage into my mouth.

I'm here for lunch 2 to 3 times a week. Not everything is a hit (baked falafel could be used by dentists during procedures to keep your mouth dry - just a bad concept), BUT, they change up the menu a few times a year, so it's easy to accept a fail here or there. Staff are friendly, food is consistently good, and lots of options if your trying to be better about what you stuff into your belly.
