Zoës Kitchen

This place has the best salads! I love their tossed Greek salad it includes marinated grilled chicken and onions, salad greens tomato pasta salad, Greek olives gets cheese and red onion. Their dressing is an awesome vinaigrette combining olive oil Mediterranean herbs like oregano and red wine vinegar. No need to add salt or pepper and the portion is PLENTIFUL! Overall great service and a clean environment! Zoe’s is a win for pockets bellies and tongues!

I never had Zoe’s kitchen before and boy I’ve been missing out! My boss had it catered on Thursday for lunch for our office and it smelled good and looked good. Once I had my first bite I instantly fell in love and with every single bite! The steak kabob was delicious! I had two servings!

A decent menu, but I always find the flavors a bit dull. They seem to have dumbed down the flavors for the lowest common denominator.

My department ordered lunch from here. The website was easy to use and the location was easy to find. The food was ready on time and organized well. Overall my department was very happy with their lunches and they are interested in ordering from here again.

I really wanted to like this place but it was just okay.
First, I loved the seasoning on the pita chips. A little salty but packed with flavor. And for $ 1 it was an awesome add-​on.
I ordered the chicken kebab entrée which came with a large greek salad and pilaf rice. The rice was fluffly. The salad was ok but I didn’t love the dressing — pretty much just olive oil. The chicken kebab was a little underseasoned to me and tasted like baked chicken. A little on the dry side as well. Overall meal came to $ 11. You get a fair amount of food for the price but the flavor won’t bring me back.

I came here recently with a small work group for lunch. I have had Zoes catering before and liked how everything tasted so I was looking forward to lunch here.
I got the steak kabob plate and I appreciated that you could swap out the sides it came with for any of their other sides. I wanted some pita and their potatoes. I was informed that I could not get pita with it, but I could have pita and hummus with it. Ok sure throw the hummus on there then.
I know it was lunch time, and I know this place gets busy with a lot of pick up orders but our food took forever to come out! Seriously, so long. My kabobs were very good, full of flavor. The potatoes were really good too, almost like a german potato salad. I got the pita I was looking for but I really did not care for the taste of the hummus. It tasted manufactured… like it came out of a huge vat or something just bland and flavorless.
Ultimately I would come back because I like the kabobs.

Zero stars if I could.
I don’t WANT to come here, but work lunches we have to go here as it is our works «favorite place»…Zoe’s is a great place but I’m surprised this location hasn’t been reported to the BBB or HD.
Every time we go and I swear the last 4 – 5 times there’s ALWAYS hair in the food. EVERY single time.
Over it and making sure no one I work with goes back to this filthy place.

I’ve been to the Arlington Zoe’s Kitchen for a Unilocal event, but hadn’t had the opportunity to return. Now that I work near this one, I was excited to give it a chance. First, it’s amazing that you can order and pay for your food online, then go pickup. It’s not that I wouldn’t want to sit there and enjoy (the inside seating area is a tad small though, btw. But they have nice little outdoor seats!), but alas I only get a measly 30 minutes for lunch.
It’s quick food without the fast food grease. I can order a full meal and not feel guilty afterwards or like I need to burn it off at the gym next door later. Everything tastes fresh. I recommend the chicken kabobs and the spinach rolls.
I DO feel guilty in that I could eat a ton of their chocolate chip cookies. They are soooooo good. Soooooo. More Sooooooooos.

Have had the steak kabob entrée and the Greek chicken pita from here.
Let me begin with the worse of the two (but still tasty).
Greek Chicken Pita:
Lettuce, tomato, onion, feta with chicken inside a pita. Wish the pita was warmer on the outside and the feta tasted more fresh. In any case, tasty and chicken tasted cooked and actually real.
Steak Kabob Entrée:
2 steak kabobs with potatoes, veggies, onion, and red bell peppers. The steak is so juicy because it is not cooked well done, but rather medium. Can see the pink inside. The marinade on the steak is so tasty. I like how this feels after too — very hardy meal and my go to at Zoes. Veggies and potatoes on side are not bad as well.

Same shopping center where my building is located so it is a nice convenience for me to just walk downstairs and right into Zoes Kitchen. I usually order online and just walk up to the pick up counter since lunch time gets pretty hectic. They are pretty fast here though with the ordering, waiting and bringing out your food it’s about 6 – 7 minutes depending on how many people are there. They offer outdoor seating, which is great to people watch or just when it’s nice outside.
The customer service is great here, everytime I interact with someone they call me by my name (I go here too much) and they are super friendly. They will accommodate anything you need. The food has never disappointed me, always fresh, hot and ready to chow down. Some of my favorites include:
–Greek Chicken Pita which is a huge pita stuffed with big chunks of chicken, lettuce, caramelized onions and feta. The only thing I’d want differently is the chunks of chicken to be cut up because it’s literally just a long piece of chicken. Nonetheless, it’s delicious and packed with flavor. The pita is also thin so you don’t feel overstuffed.
–Chicken Pita Pizza is a nice personalized sized pizza topped with mozzarella, feta, basil, marinara and chicken. It’s absolutely delicious. They put the cheese on top so all of the other toppings are hidden. It’s a great way to enjoy pizza without all the greasyness and it’s a healthier alternative.
–The hummus here is not my favorite, I don’t know what it is but it’s different than the Fairfax location. It just taste funky here so I don’t get it.
I am going to try the other foods but these 2 are my absolute favorite, I always get one or the other. But it is delicious here each time, no complaints!

One of my regular lunch spots when I’m in the mood for a healthy lunch. I usually get the Protein Power Plate and a drink. Great tasting food and it comes out pretty fast. No complaints.

Would have been a 4 – 4.5 star review if not for the service. Food here is usually well above par when compared to similar. Lots of flavor and good fresh options.
Daughter and I walked in on a random Wednesday afternoon (she had had dr appt). The young woman at the counter never said hello, never made eye contact. Fine. I proceeded to order an entrée for my daughter and one for me. She immediately gave me my total, before I could get out the next part — large soup to go, and perhaps even a chocolate chip cookie. Oh, and a drink for me. I said «I also would like a drink, a sparkling water.» At this point the «I absolutely hate my job and I hate you» vibes were at a fever pitch. She had to call over the manager to fix the input into the register (she had rung up a fountain drink), interrupting me when I was halfway through «I would also like a large orzo soup.» She then gave me the total again and I said «did you get the soup?» Full on eye roll this time. After that, I was afraid of what would happen if I dared ordered a chocolate chip cookie! So, I slinked away.
Wonder how much revenue they are losing by having this woman at the register?!
In fairness, two other employees were very nice to other customers and me (one delivered the food to the table and the other popped the top on my sparkling water).

Yum! Can’t go wrong with Zoe’s. I always get the side salad with chicken. I tell them to remove the feta. Ends up about 6 $. Best thing on the menu in my opinion.

I love Zoe’s Kitchen! I recently stopped here with my friend after a hot yoga class. We were a little ripe so we ate outside. It was an excellent evening for that and it was nice to enjoy the scenery for people watching.
I ordered the chicken kabob, grilled veggies and salad. The staff was helpful in accommodating me with no cheese. They also offered me a glass for my beer and cleared our plates when we were finished.
My friend enjoyed her gyro and potato salad. She said it hit the spot and will add this to her rotation of restaurants.

Food was excellent! Very fresh. Customer service was great and they were fast! What more could you ask for? I ordered the shrimp kabobs with zucchini, rice pilaf, and a Greek salad. I definitely recommend this spot. They also cater.

This place is awesome! Customer service superb and they are one of the nicest folks around.
Ordered the salmon + chicken combo and damn was it good. :) I say if you’re looking to eating healthy and delicious then look no further because this place strikes home.

Pretty good food and very friendly staff but Im rating 1 star based on the fact that my hummus side comes with 3 stale pita slices and about a gallon of hummus. 90% of the hummus remains after these three bites. I would be more satisfied if there were less hummus as it would make more sense, but the lack of logical thought that has gone into this side dish is infuriating and makes me question the establishment as a whole.

Haven’t been here in a few months and was in the mood for a healthy, light fresh lunch. Zoe’s did not let me down. It was actually a bit more crowded than I have seen it in the past… maybe due to everyone being out and about shopping for the holidays.
Staff is always friendly and food is always fresh. Today I had the salad with orzo and tabouli. Very refreshing with feta cheese and hints of something zesty in the dressing. I did ask for chicken on it but she must not of heard me because I didn’t get it. That’s okay — I stole a couple of pieces of chicken off of my husband’s chicken kabob plate.
The chicken kabobs are a stand by for us — served with a greek salad and rice. Today they were a little bland. We also tried the giant homemade chocolate chip cookie with dark and milk chocolate chips… not exactly light and healthy but it was goooood.
Definitely consider Zoe’s when you are looking for a light, fresh healthy alternative to fast food. You won’t be disappointed.

Ever since Gretchen showed me the way, the truth, and the light by having a Unilocal event at Zoe’s in Arlington, I’ve been wanting to get back.
I was super glad that there was a Zoe’s near my new job. I popped in yesterday and they were busy, but manageable. Kinda like when you go into Chipotle and the line is out the door, you still stand in that line because you know they can and will handle it quickly. Well, that happened here.
I stepped up to the counter to order and decided on shrimp kabobs and the Greek salad. The gentleman took my order and was SUPER sweet about it! I like nice people. That’ll keep me coming back to a place.
I found a seat and waited for my meal. You’ll wait a few minutes here because everything is fresh. So calm down and wait.
My meal arrived and I dove in. 2 kabobs with succulent shrimp and zucchini with this amazing seasoning on them. Yummmmmmmm! And then there was rice and salad. The rice is seasoned and delightful. The salad is fresh and crisp. I really liked the Greek dressing that appears on every table.
This is my new fave. It’s not cheap, but you know you’ll pay for FRESH food. I could see myself coming here once a week for a delicious lunch.

Well… I must say that what Zoes Kitchen does, they do it quite well!
For the longest time, I’ve been eyeing Zoes every time I go to Whole Foods, and wanted to try it. However, say «Greek food» to my husband and he immediately thinks «feta cheese». I understand — I’m half Albanian and don’t like feta cheese either, much to most of my family’s chagrin. So… I have to take the time to explain to my husband that just because it’s Greek food, it doesn’t mean that feta cheese is in every entrée. With that in mind, I had him take a look at Zoes menu and then he agreed to give them a try.
We were here on a Saturday just before 5 p.m. The place had only one customer sitting at a table. While we were looking at the menu, another customer arrived. The way things work at Zoes, is that you go up to the counter and place your order. If you are dining in, you are given a number to put on your table. You are expected to get your own silverware and napkins. If you order a soda fountain drink or iced tea, you are given a cup to help yourself.
The man at the counter was very friendly and helpful. We both ordered a combo which consisted of a bowl of soup and half a sandwich. The types of sandwiches that can be ordered with this combo are limited and the menu does explain your options.
We both chose to get a bowl of chicken and orzo soup plus half a chicken salad sandwich. For drinks, we both chose limeade. If you order limeade, it is brought to your table. The limeade was quite good — tart but not too tart.
We found out that their chicken and orzo soup is made in house. They boil the chicken for 1 ½ hours before putting in the soup. The soup has a generous amount of white meat chicken as well as carrots, orzo and celery. It was a bit on the salty side but not so much that it had us guzzling our limeade. Also there is enough black pepper in it so that you can clearly taste it. You also get 3 small packages of saltine crackers.
The chicken salad consists of all white meat chicken, lettuce, tomato and mayo on a 7 grain bread. We liked the bread as it wasn’t overly dense and was fresh. The chicken salad was mild, decent but average and the amount on the sandwich was generous.
All this cost just under $ 20. We left feeling like we had just enough food which is better than feeling too full. While we were eating the counter man came out while it was slow to bus tables and ask everybody if there meals were okay.
We both agree that we will go to Zoes again. Who knows? Maybe next time we’ll try one of their meal entrees. The price is right, the food is fresh plus the service was quite good!

I really like Zoës. It’s a chain that really gets it right. Healthy options, salads, wraps, even their traditionally non-​healthy items (like potato or pasta salad) are made without mayonnaise. And you know what? You don’t need it.
This particular location is smaller than the Fairfax store but I would guess just as busy. However, I have never had an issue with getting a table as they bus them off quickly when people leave.
The staff is always friendly and helpful, and I like that you can see into the kitchen behind the register.
