Zoes Kitchen gets crazy busy during lunch time, but don't let that scare you from giving this place a shot. The service is fast, friendly, and efficient. From the time we ordered at the counter, filled our drinks up with one of the three fresh brewed tea options (while slowly walking away and starring at this crazy futuristic soda machine), and sat down at a table, we only had to wait about seven or so minutes for our healthy meals to arrive with their delicious aromas.
They do have a Simply 500 menu that lists all their items that fit the criteria of 500 calories or less. It is not listed above the order counter so you'll have to ask to see one. My mother ordered the Spinach Roll-ups that came with a cup of fruit and I went for the Veggie Kabobs. Both of us enjoyed our meals, but we both agreed that we wouldn't drive down just for Zoes, if we are in the area it will be on our minds as an option. It was neat to see the art projects from the kids at Phoenix Children's Hospital that Zoes displays throughout the restaurant walls. The total for two meals and two small drinks came to $21.64
