    Under filled Mexican Caesar
    Katie C.

    Food tastes good but a lot of inconsistency in quantity. Look how under filled our bowls are from tonight. Definitely not worth the $13

    Raw carrots...?

    I am not sure why I got raw carrots and cold, not fully cooked veggies with my warm harvest bowl plus roasted veggies. Wishing I went to sweetgreen across the street. Workers were nice, place was clean, but eh.

    I love this Chop't at 1735 N Lynn St, Arlington just across the street from the Rosslyn Metro. I am somewhat boring and always get the Chicken Caesar Salad (the dressing is so darn addictive) but they have such a variety you can find a salad for any personality.  This is a hotbed for office lunch.  So if you are in a rush, steer clear of the 12 o'clock hour.  The team here does work hard to get everyone in, ordered, served, and out as quick as possible, much better than other restaurants in Rosslyn. Check them out if you haven't been.  1735 N Lynn St, Arlington, Virginia.

    Fabulous cram apple harvest warm bowl with chicken and cauliflower rice. Yum yum, and what made it even better was the kind service

    Santa Fe Salad

    I've been eating Sweetgreen at least once a week for the last few weeks, and have tried almost all of their salad bowls and harvest bowls now. I decided to try something different and get Chopt, but wish I had gotten Sweetgreen instead. The salads here are fine, but I think they are smaller than the Sweetgreen salads, and almost all have more romaine lettuce than healthier greens like kale and arugula, and less protein options. I got the Santa Fe salad which had avocado, tomato, corn, pepper jack cheese and fried onions chop't with romaine, with a chipotle vinaigrette. This was $8.99, and I added quinoa for an extra for $0.79. I thought the salad was just okay - I got it to go, and ate it within 10-15 minutes of getting it, and the lettuce was already starting to get soggy. I don't think I would get this again - for a Mexican inspired salad, I much prefer Sweetgreen's Guacamole Greens or Corn Elote salad. My husband got the NY Street Cart salad, which is one of their seasonal/specials that had chicken shawarma, roasted tomatoes, cauliflower quinoa tabbouleh, English cucumbers, pita chips, romaine, spinach purple cabbage & cilantro. I liked his salad a lot better than mine - it had good flavor from the spices in the chicken shawarma, and I liked the cauliflower quinoa for a little extra texture and vegetables. I'm a diehard Sweetgreen fan, but I would give this place one more shot, or come here if Sweetgreen wasn't open (but Sweetgreen opens later than this place does). Overall, fine for a salad, but I think there are better places for similar prices that have better quality & healthier ingredients.

    Mexican Caesar Salad

    Back in my bougie days I use to eat a sweetgreen very often (this was when they still accepted cash). One day I was with my mom to go pick up my dad from work in DC. For dinner I decide to eat at the chopt by Metro Center Station. I was very impressed because it was different, the salads were diced up in front of you and so forth. The salad I first got was a safe salad aka Caesar Salad. At that point when ever my mom went to pick up my dad. I would eat there often. So when Chopt came to Rosslyn I was real excited. When that happened I switch from the metro center location to the Rosslyn location. Currently my favorite is the Mexican Caesar with corn, cucumber and chicken. The woman who was chopping up my salad suggested I try the Mexican Caesar Dressing instead of the regular Caesar Dressing. She was spot on because it made the salad that much better. I was here pre and post renovation I think the restaurant now is beautiful. Yeah there's not many people working but they are super efficient especially during lunch hours. I think I was only waiting in line for about 5-8 minutes. I really like there destination salad. My favorite was this Caesar salad (yeahhh I like Caesar salads a lot) with cherry peppers but those salads are seasonal I think. Also the people who work there are really nice and even if they don't have something they try there best to make something similar. If the salad happens to be soggy generally it's not the salad chopper's fault because you have full control of how much dressing you want and you can also request dressing on the side. Between chopt and sweetgreen my favorite is chopt. For one chopt still accepts cash, you get more for what you pay for (portion wise). I still have love for sweetgreen (especially the guacamole greens)and I like how they support local farms etc. However I find myself gravitating to chopt when I'm in a salad mood.

    They mix it up in a bowl.

    I'm ok with $10 salads but $6 for 8 teaspoons of soup? No thanks. What a scam. They don't even fill the bowl all the way to the top.

I ordered the chimichurri steak plate and really enjoyed it. Funnily enough, the chimichurri itself was the least enjoyable item. I didn't love the texture of it (much too coarse) but, fortunately, it was packaged in a small container separate instead of on the steak itself. The salad probably had a bit too much dressing but I had the option to order that on the side so that's on me. Nonetheless, the steak, potatoes, salad, corn, avocado were all excellent. I also added chips, a lemon zest cookie, and a blueberry breeze handcrafted drink. The cookie is big and chewy, unlike others I have had. It's definitely not something to eat in one sitting. The drink was a little blah and nothing I would order again. All in all, very good!

Thankfully we ended up at the Unconventional Diner and it was perfect for satisfying everyone in the group!! We were all able to get tasty drinks- from n/a Hibiscus Citrus lemonade, white wine, a cinnamon toast old fashioned (what? A cereal inspired old fashioned, yes please and it was fantastic!), and a Bourbon basil smash. Then the crew settled on some food-the waiter was patient with the questions and contemplation from the table (thank you!). We started with the SKILLET CORNBREAD with Habanero Honey Butter | Sea Salt (v) And that was melt in your mouth cornbread. Damn. Real cornbread seems hard to come by any more and this is the real deal. And the honey butter and flake sea salt-can't go wrong. I'm a spice weeny-for reals-and this was incredible. It's a MUST get. Across the table we had two of the double cheese burgers (I warned, we have a lack of adventurous eaters) -and they both said the burgers were the best they've had. I had the Philly French double dip, with horseradish cream and caramelized onions-so fantastic-the roast beef was melt in your mouth and the broth was the perfect saltiness. Our fourth got the fried chicken sandwich and really loved the dill pickle slaw that came with it, and the chicken was not over cooked and not raw-perfect! We all had fries with our meals, the thinner kind with light seasoning and none of us could stop eating them, even when we were clearly full, the fries just kept disappearing.

We grabbed a seat and did not wait long for our food to come out. I really enjoyed my burger and scarfed it down! I paid for sauces, which were tiny and super overpriced. Hubs enjoyed his cheesesteak but he prefers meat. I had a bite and thought it was really flavorful and very closely tasting like the real thing. I noticed later this is a chain, which is pretty cool. I think the prices were pretty steep so I might skip on the fries next time. The food could have been warmer as well. Definitely worth a visit and will most likely be back when in DC again.
