I have always wanted to try Chopt and think I may have just ordered something that was not for me. They have a variety of wraps, salads, and warm bowls. They were quick to help and there was a lot of seating available. It's great for takeout too. They have single gender neutral stalls that you have to ask the front a code for. I wanted a healthy option for lunch so came here. The bowl felt a bit too drowned in a sauce that wasn't my taste. I hope to return to try something else on the menu

I was excited to re visit since I was craving a salad and was in the area. Upon my arrival there is a lot of parking and they have outdoor seating. I walked in to a clean restaurant with a small line due to lunch time. I gaze at the menu to explore my options and i chose the Chopt Greek salad. What blew me was the protein portions that I just passed on because it looked microwaved. I did try the Blueberry Coconut Chiller which was pretty good. The salad itself was very fresh and delicious. I would return but i can go without protein. The size / portion was great for price.

There were only a couple of tables available, but they were clearly well staffed. We were greeted immediately at the door, and it was obvious there were multiple managers on the floor making sure everything was running smoothly. The ambiance struck the perfect balance--upscale yet approachable. It felt polished without being stuffy or overly formal. The lighting was just right, creating a comfortable atmosphere for dinner, and they offered a nice selection of beverages and cocktails. The food absolutely delivered. My friend ordered the Cobb salad with fried chicken. The chicken was perfectly cooked and lightly breaded--not overly heavy at all. His only suggestion would be swapping the mustard-based dressing for something brighter, like a lemon or citrus vinaigrette, since it competed a bit with the blue cheese crumbles. I ordered the Mediterranean Bowl with shrimp, and it was fantastic. A small detail that made a surprisingly big impression: the shrimp tails had already been removed! It's such a simple thing, but not having to stop and pick tails off while eating made the meal that much more enjoyable. The dish was perfectly balanced and delicious exactly as served--I wouldn't change a thing. My martini was also expertly made. No notes there either. The restaurant attracted a friendly, well-dressed crowd, adding to the overall experience without feeling pretentious. It's also easy to find, located on the corner of the shopping center with Trader Joe's and Planet Fitness. Granite Grill exceeded my expectations, and I'll definitely be back. Great food, attentive service, an inviting atmosphere, and excellent attention to detail. Highly recommended.

It's a beautiful space and very quiet while we were there which was important to my party. Everyone was very happy with their starters and meals. We ordered the Beet Salad, hush puppies and a few side salads to start. Main dishes ordered were the Mediterranean salad - my uncle practically licked the plate, the Hanger steak was perfectly cooked as were the crab cakes and burger. I had the salmon salad and it was the perfect size. The lemon dressing was delicious too...not too tart. We finished with the brownie sundae and it was so good. The perfect ending. Service was fantastic and very attentive. We were well cared for.

The bread on the cheesesteak was incredibly fresh, and the portions were generous--I ate half the sandwich before I even remembered to take a picture. The fish sandwich was huge and perfectly crispy.

We started by sharing a hot Mezze platter that included falafel, beef kibbeh, cheese rolls, brussel sprouts, and house-made pickles. For the our main course I had the beef shawarma wrap and my friend had the chicken shawarma wrap. Both were delicious as were the Za'atar fries. The wraps are large enough that we were each able to bring home a half of our wraps and fries. We learned on our visit that Natalie's has a new owner. We had selected Natalie's because they "believe in building and strengthening communities by creating spaces where people of all abilities can thrive and grow in the workplace." I hope the new owner will continue this mission.

Since we didn't have one, we were seated at a community table, which would have been nice to know in advance as it definitely shaped the experience. Pricing felt high for the portion sizes. There is no lunch menu and you are paying dinner prices for lunch. I ordered the carne asada bowl. The steak had great flavor, but there wasn't much of it in the bowl. I kept hoping the next bite might have some more but it rarely did. This was disappointing since the rest of the bowl was lacking in flavor. Everyone else enjoyed their dishes and had good things to say. The ambiance is nice and leaning towards upscale casual. Overall, it was a decent experience, but I probably wouldn't go back

Northerners pay attention…read more.. The pizza here is as good as it gets in Richmond. One bite and I was transported back to Brooklyn and the endless string of afternoon visits to my neighborhood pizza place. The pie was hot, cheesy, oily, and the crust, oh that crust! The pizza at Galley-To-Go is a trip back in time. Speaking of time, you will spend some here if you are planning to enjoy a pizza. Average waits for a pizza are at a half hour, but on a weekend evening, you can easily wait double that time. I don't mind waiting for good food, but I think the staff needs to be educated in being able to remind or even warn potential guests (especially first-timers) that their early night may become compromised, or if you have small children, you may do better in their regular "Galley" restaurant just a door away. The back-story behind how this transformed Asian restaurant became an RVA pizza mecca is intriguing and quite involved, but the short version is a New Jersey native who worked for the owners of the Galley named Guistino Riccio brought his family recipes to the Galley's managers, and they were immediately sold. When they transformed the former Mandarin Palace restaurant (the name still sits above the restaurant's doorway, as do other relics that remind you of the space's previous tenants), they put pizza ovens in the kitchen and a neon sign offering "Guistino's Pizza" over the kitchen entrance. Local legend says the owners are still arguing over the name of the "Galley to Go" space (part coffee shop, part grocery store, part cafe), but who cares if the pizza is this good. Well, you might if you want to get in and get out in a hurry (so order ahead, many do), OR if you want to adjust your pizza toppings. No substitutions for the varieties of pizza are permitted (a little concerning if your allergy requires a vegan pizza, which they offer but no protein is on it). So if you are willing to live with the potentially long waits, the small pizza oven capacities (we were told a 20-pie limit at any given time, so if there is a big to-go order, well, just enjoy your beverage SLOWLY while you wait), and the rigidity of the pizza menu (there are other menu items besides pizza but they are not the main draw here...) the Galley to Go may be your RVA pizza destination for a long time to come. I had the second half my pie the next day reheated, and it was just as good as my first bite, a sign that whatever they do in that kitchen, although a labor of love and long waits, is worth its weight in gold.

They also serve coffee and beer. Once I got to the right shop I ordered 2 GIUSTINO'S PIZZA's to go. They are about 12 inches. I was only feeding two adults so we probably could have just shared one. I came on a Thursday night and they said I would be 20min. But it was more like 10. I got the sausage and Fennel which is their House Mozzarella, Parmesan, Fresh Cracked Black Pepper all for $10.95. Boyfriend got the Sweet Hot which is Tomato Sauce, Pepperoni, House Mozzarella, Parmesan, Honey, Roasted Calabrian Peppers, Chili Oil and costs $11.95. So a pretty good value! We also tried some prepared meals to go like their chicken salad that was $5 for 11oz and their clam chowder. Both good. They also sell nightingale ice cream!
