| - Anytime I can eat a lunch that combines pasta, grilled chicken, avocado, and tons of fresh vegetables all in one salad, chances are I'm going to be a fan. I recently had lunch at Zoes and while I wasn't totally blown away, it was pretty darn enjoyable.
The space itself is pretty busy, and because you seat yourself it can be a challenge to find a decent spot (especially if you're with a big group.) After ordering, I was happy to see a few different unsweetened tea options including a few tropical varieties. So good! We got a few bowls of hummus for the table which was standard, but the pita bread was soft and yummy & I loved the olive oil drizzled on top. After filling up a little on that, I ventured into the chicken chop salad and the combo of everything in it was filling and satisfying. It also was giant, which is helpful when you know you won't be eating again for a while. It's packaged so that it's convenient to take with ya if you don't feel like eating the entire thing.
My lunch mates were so-so about their meals but I really don't have any complaints about mine. I'd definitely eat at Zoes if we had one in St. Louis. The employees were friendly, the ingredients were fresh, and we were in and out within an hour. That's what I call a major lunchtime win.
