Zoes Kitchen

When I see a restaurant serving Mediterranean / Greek, I think kabobs, hummus, pitas etc. They do have those items but they’ve upgraded them by at least 3 levels. The menu is extensive with protein choices of lamb, shrimp, multiple chicken flavors, steak, salmon, falafel and lots of vegetarian, vegan and gluten free items as well. You order at the counter and we told Kaylah it was our first time at Zoe’s and asked for suggestions. She recommended the kebabs which come with 2 sides and 1 sauce. She also described the grilled potato salad and it sounded delish. She really did a great job explaining each dish. We both got the kabob combo so we could choose two kabob flavors. Hubs got the shrimp kabob and steak kabob with braised white beans, grilled potato salad and tzatziki sauce. I got the spicy chicken kabob and steak kabob with pasta salad, the new fire roasted corn and tzatziki sauce. I only have a picture of my plate because I didn’t want to get in his way. Everything was so fresh!! The spicy chicken wasn’t very spicy, to me, but it was fork tender. The steak was grilled to medium and coated in balsamic mostarda glaze (it reminded me of Hoisin sauce) the shrimp kabob was good but you only get 3 medium to large shrimp. The pasta salad was much drier than what I’ve had but the flavor was really good. I ended up mixing in my tzatziki sauce just because I had some left. Hubs raved over his sides and they were good. So. The roasted corn - FANTASTIC and well worth the 30 cent premium side up charge. It had fire roasted corn mixed with green onion, feta and maybe finely chopped celery or bell pepper. It had a creaminess and a crunch that is unbeatable. When we go back I would get the same sides but both kabobs in steak. Hubs is going to try the salmon kabob next with the same sides. You can see from the menu that they truly have something for everyone. The restaurant was very clean as was the bathroom. The women’s bathroom is huge, it’s a single occupancy which I really like and it has a baby changing station. They have a hanger for your purse and I only mention that because some places don’t and that’s a real peeve for me. They also have outside seating and since Zoe’s is off the main road, it was quiet. The kabob combo was $13.39. The drinks are extra at $2.59. Total was $34.44 which sounds pricey since we had no leftovers BUT I think the price is fair for this very high quality food.

Man this was one of the worst experiences I’ve had at a Zoe’s :/. They were very understaffed which I get because post pandemic it’s been hard to get people to work these jobs. But there were so many customers and only like 3 staff people. Entire place was filthy. Food, cups and mess everywhere. It actually smelled very gross as well and the bathrooms were a mess. We waited a while for our food and when it came it was missing so much, a cookie we ordered the sauces we requested etc. The food was not good the seasonings were just not there. The entire meal was a waste of money and we went to Taco Bell after. I wouldn’t waste my money going back until they can get it together a bit.

I have driven by this place alot and always thought about stopping bye one day. Well today me and my wife finally stopped by, and got something to eat. The staff were super friendly I was able to crack up and joke with them. The food was amazing definitely did not disappoint at all. Highly recommend.
