| - For more than a decade Zoes has been one of my favorite (fast food) restaurants to grab a healthy bite. This massive chain litters the South's cities, but is fairly new to the Phoenix area although more seem to open often. It's a large chain known for quality and fresh food, great service and entrees that are largely healthy. In this part of town it's a chore to decide where to eat simply because there's so many options. Zoes is on the more affordable side.
This particular location (I've been to about 75 of their stores nationwide, maybe a few more, actually) excels at providing friendly service in a always clean atmosphere. We choose Zoes for several reasons. Everything is made fresh, from scratch and on site daily. The food is brought in every morning, prepped and served. Yes, fresh. Every day. Where else can you find that from a fast-food type chain?
The biggest challenge at Zoes is what to order. There's so many tasty items on the menu. Normally, we start with the Hummus Trio (classic, basil pesto and red pepper hummus). Keep in mind, they make this on site. And, there's cool, crisp veggies to dip, too.
As for entrees there's too many good ones to list, but we're partial to the Chicken Roll Ups, Beef and Chicken Kabobs, Tossed Greek Salad, Gruben and new (ish) Power Bowls. To be fair there's nothing on the menu that doesn't reach your table cooked to perfection, well seasoned, fresh and with a friendly smile.
Zoes is ideal for couples, families, young adults and children (even this kid's meal is healthy and impressive). There's something that was made in house for everyone and packed with enough flavor to keep you coming back. It's a fast food chain that doesn't taste like fast food.
