Zoes Kitchen

I love trying new restaurants. It is kinda an obsession of mine. When I found out that Zoes Kitchen already had 6 DFW locations and I hadn’t been to ANY of them, I thought that needed to be remedied ASAP. So I headed to my closest location which happens to be in Alliance.   A few years ago there wasn’t anything in Alliance.   That is NOT the case now! I love the clean, fresh and brightly colored look of Zoes Kitchen.   It is a “Mediterranean inspired grill” that features a selection of soup, salads, sandwiches of the classic, grilled and pita variety as well as entrees including roll-ups and kabobs.     They  make their own hummus which is a favorite of mine.  Prices range from $5.99 for their pick two (1/2 sandwich and soup or salad) to $9.95 for the shrimp kabobs. Zoes does have a kids menu (quesadillas, chicken fingers and sandwiches) which is priced under $4 per meal. They also offer several take-home options.   The Dinners for Four are call ahead meals that you can feed the family in the evening.   They are priced around $30 and include chicken kabobs, Greek Chicken Marinara and roll-up combo dinner.   There are also a wide range of take home tubs which are side dishes, salads and the yummy hummus that are between $6.95 and $8.95 a pint. It seems pretty easy to get in and out of Zoes in a reasonable amount of time.   The employees that I ran into today were really friendly. Oh, and did I mention the chocolate chip cookies?   I might have taken one…or two…or five home.   They are huge and gooey just the way a cookie should be.   As much as I love a good cookie, next time I am trying the cake.
