It's good, take it easy on the roasted corn grits, they are made with cream and are a whopping 800 calories a serving. The red beans are popular, but not for me, they put cumin in them, I like cumin, but not in red beans. Other then that I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

I never suggest going there but when somebody does I don't balk. I enjoy the rotisserie sirloin and chicken and the sides are good too. Never had anything bad there.

I've never eaten at any of the locations, but when I go to Festival every year, I cannot pass up on Zea's Thai ribs.

Zea to me is like Houston's when it was here. Better chain, always consistent and never a bad meal.

Decent happy hour.

No issues ever going there, in fact one of the few places in Metry I do goto.

I still miss the korean tacos.

It's been 5+ years since I ate at one but Zea's as I remember was very good. Very good fish dishes.

Once ate my side of grits so fast that the waiter thought she had forgotten to bring them and unwittingly brought me a second serving!

I've never had a bad meal at the one in Lafayette. It might be a chain, but I think the food is very consistently good. A place I meet friends for lunch, or go with co-workers. My husband isn't a fan.

It's better than okay.. It's pretty darn good for a chain. Not sure what the offerings are like in Madison, but it's something to be excited about.

I'm not that impressed. Got the ribeye once and the sampler once. Wouldn't go back if I had to choose.


You got a steak at a chicken place. What did you expect?

I think Zea is an above average spot. Always liked their half rotisserie chickens and sides were always good. Their hummus plate was really good as well as their grits.

The duck and the grits are very good. The wife and I have eaten there several times and the food has never disappointed.

I am big fan of the Philly Beef Panini and Sedona Chicken Panini. Most things on the menu are really good.

Big fan of Zea.

I really like spinach dip but most places are mediocre. Houstons and Zea have the best.

Salads are solid as well.

I can be a little snobby in the food department and with that being said Zea is the only chain I would frequent. It won't be blowing many minds, but also never had a bad meal there.

Still pissed that they closed in Mobile. I used to kill out that Almond Chicken Salad. Thai ribs and corn grits were fire too.
