Review: Zoës Kitchen

[Common Sense Al]

It's been a long time since I did a restaurant review... but here goes a short one...

Sorry, no photos... my wife gets embarrassed when I whip out my big DSLR and start taking food pics, though if I had thought about it before I ate all my food, then I would have used a small camera that I keep in the car.

I had the steak rollups with potato salad ($8.29) and a big chocolate chip cookie ($1.99). The steak rollups were very good but I was disappointed in the potato salad as I thought it was rather bland. I thought the cookie was quite good though having large bits of chocolate. I do have a weakness for sweets, unfortunately.

We sat outside... what a nice day today... perfect for outdoor eating.

Service and speed were fine... no problems.

Steak rollups (4.25 out of 5): 1/4
Cookie (4.25 out of 5): 1/4
Potato salad (2.5 out of 5): 1/2

I didn't order the potato salad when I was there - the sign says "no mayo." That's why it appears bland to those of us who are used to the mayo.

Yeah, but do you really need mayo for flavor?

It had onions and other stuff in it, but still didn't seem to have much taste. Perhaps if I try it again it will be a better, more flavorful "batch".

No biggie... but I do like a good potato salad.

The worst thing is, they'll replace roasted potato's and veggies with potato salad, and ya, it's not great.

I loved it the firs time there, after that they succeeded in proving my initial feeling about them, before I went there, as true. Haven't been back.

funny,

interesting.

I wouldn't use flash as I think that can be annoying to others and the photos aren't as good anyway, but if person A is disturbed by person B quietly (& without flash) taking photos of person's B food, then I think that's person A's issue.

What turned me off about the place was the outlandish calorie counts. Their Greek salad is 710 calories, including 42gm of fat - or 50% from fat.
Bye!

I think you do. I use Hellman's because I think it has more flavor than Kraft's. I don't know for sure, but when I was told by a friend that Zoe's doesn't use mayo, they thought there might be yogurt in it.
