I want to love Chop't. I really do. I've been here on at least a dozen occasions. Every time I come here though, I feel a slight sense of disappointment. Almost always the chicken just doesn't taste right - slightly too chewy. And the Chicken Tinga portion you receive varies GREATLY depending on the associate who makes it for you. The free bread they give you with each salad almost always tastes stale and is pretty small. Yes, having a 'chopped' salad is cool. But for $10+ for a salad, it needs to be fantastic. This place never is! read more

Nope. If you are going to base your brand on the "chopped salad" concept, you need to chop up the greens better. Also, the to-go containers here are the worst. The bowl is deep but packed to the brim, so it is nearly impossible to mix it yourself without getting salad all over the place. To be fair, they are swarmed with a ridiculous number of orders during lunch hour, which might be why the salads are not as well-chopped as they should be. But with prices like these, I prefer to take my money elsewhere. read more

The food here is awesome. I also went to pick up food one time at the Pineville location and it so clean inside!! The workers asked me had I been served and I told them I was there for my pickup and they had it for me right away. . I'm a vegetarian and this is my go to place. The harvest bowl is my favorite. read more

The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable of the different options on the menu. Love this place!! My salads are always made with fresh ingredients! Nice place to visit when the weather is nice.. you can sit out front in the sun and enjoy your salad! read more

You choose, they top and then it's all Chopt! So cool! Great experience, great salad options...so busy in here though...it's crazy really...all the chopping, the long lines, the people! It's a mad house for salad lovers! I don't know how the workers keep track of everything that's going on. I felt dizzy when I finally got out of there, but I'm ready to brave it again! The salad was great and worth it for me to enter this place again. Friendly staff, fast service...well as fast as they can given the amount of people that are in here at peak times. Great toppings and great flavors for the salad dressings. Really different salad experience! I had the steak something and then the Nashville chicken ceasar. Both were very different, both were very good! Side note: handicapped parking nearby, and accessible entrance and seating available! read more

second time ordering from Chopt using Uber Eats. Both time the food was terrible. Uber Eats was great but the salad was awful. mostly rice and greens with no black beans, no chips, and a few pieces of chicken. dressing on the side after I asked for it to be mixed in. I guess the only way to guarantee you get what you order is to go the teastaurant and stand over them while they make it. read more

I got the worst salad from this location. I ordered through Postmates. The delivery was great! The salad was horrible! It wasn't copped up like like they do when order on location. Maybe they don't do that for delivery orders. I don't know. But they ought to because the lettuce was brown on the edges. Yuk! This is a salad restaurant; how do you not deliver on fresh greens? If they "Chopt" the salad (as the name suggests) then maybe I wouldn't have noticed. Crossing this one off the list. read more

Over priced, small selection, minced salad, not fresh but old. Create a salad- The ingredients were overcooked or aged. They didn't even ask how I'd like the leafy greens and salad toppings, instead poured it into the table and shredded it to pieces and poured out into a bowl. For one big massive mush combo. The dressings were also only mediocre at best. I got the vinaigrette that was only ok. At the cash register after you pay, they ask you if you'd like a slice of bread with it. I said yes. It was chewy and nothing special. One taste and I was done. read more

This was my first time at chopt and I will never return again - the lady who served me was very angry and didn't want to explain anything to me - I asked to make me own bowl as I'm vegetarian and that also irritated her - I asked for two sauces and I thought she mixed them in my salad but she did not and ended up charging me for it so I ate a dry tasteless salad! horrible food at high prices! The falafel balls seemed not properly defrosted and their customer service is horrendous read more

Salad should not be a side to your lunch! Chopt is making hearty, healthy and delicious salads. Chopt is so fun. The counter is walk-up--and you'll have the option of building your own salad (with A TON of tasty ingredients!) or picking one of the salads they already have designed. I recommend taking a second before getting in line to really read through the menu. The first time you go, it can be a little overwhelming because it's so fast-paced. Once you choose your salad they'll throw everything in to a bowl and move you down to the "choppers". Those are the employees literally chopping up all the ingredients and mixing in the dressing. You do not have to have the assigned dressing for pre-designed salads--feel free to mix it up! Right now they have a destination menu--try the New Orleans Creole Shrimp, it's fantastic! read more

chopped I'm done... Horrible horrible horrible! This is the third time I've requested for my salad not to be chopped up, easy and simple just put it in the bowl and that was it. I received a salad that is chopped up, with a rotten piece of avocado sitting on the top of it. From now on I will be going to just salad's next-door to whole Foods and Chapel Hill forget shopped... read more

So I would never think to open a place that only serves salads. Nor would I even think to make the salads the way this place does. Have you ever made a salad and fight to get that perfect bite with each ingredient all at once? I have! Here that happens with each bite and you don't even have to try hard. I had the good ole cobb and it was perfect. The staff is super friendly too! I really wasent sure what to do and I was guided (not that it's even hard) through the entire process. Now they also have hot bowls which look super good so the next time I'm def trying g one of those. Oh and they use paper straws which I like. read more

Chopt Creative Salad Co. - The Classic Cobb with ranch. Yummy! - Salad Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

First time here and I needed a little assistance on how to order and choose my salad. Everything is freshly made right in front of you and the choices were a little overwhelming for me. Luckily, I was guided through and think that I could easily become a regular customer here if I lived in the area. I like salads and I hate getting pieces of greens and veggies that are too big. Here your salad is chopped to your satisfaction. Soups are also on the menu. read more

I understand that businesses are attempting to pivot as the economic continuously shifts. However, Chopt has gotten simply ridiculous with how it is now preparing its salads. Instead of filling the bowl with lettuce and placing the topping on top and then mixing it all up in a large bowl, the company is filling the bowl with the topping, which leaves very little room in the bowl for the lettuce. WTF!!! The salad is already $12.99 and now you don't even get a real salad! Avoid at all cost! read more

Compared to the other Chopt in Charlotte, this one is the worst. The guy who did my salad was chopping it in slow motion, and he gave me the chicken Tinga salad bowl half empty... it's not the first time to have a bad experience with that location actually.. lesson learned and never going there again. read more

Pretty general run of the mill create your own salad place. I placed an online order for a kale Caesar and added chicken. The website is really easy to use and I appreciated the additional text updates on when my order was actually ready vs the projected time. The Caesar dressing they use wasn't my favorite but overall it was a good salad! Really good portion size for the price. Will definitely be back for a quick lunch in the future. read more

Salas Dressing was spoiled. Rank. We had to throw everything out and it stank up the refrigerator for hours. Yuk

I was craving a salad all day and I decided to try out Chopt and I did not go wrong with this choice!!! My salad was so yummy, I got it to-go and it didn't even make it back to the office!! I ordered the Palm Beach with shrimp minus the heart of palm but added corn with the Tex-Mex Ranch!! OMG...delicious! I believe this is now my favorite salad shop-stop in Charlotte!! My mother ordered the Santa Fe and she was not disappointed! The employees were really attentive and very patient, all except one! I asked to taste test 2 different dressings and I could see I needed to hurry and make a decision! Yikes!! I apologized and quickly choose the last dressing that I tasted, which was a good choice! I really enjoyed Chopt! I can't wait to taste the soup!! I'll definitey be back, I may even order in next time. The atmosphere was very welcoming, spacious and clean!! read more

Horrible location. 3 times already and they never get salad right. This 3rd time was the one I said never again to this location. Will stick with one in arboretum. The salad was half way when I had my husband pick it up. He did mention it to cashier and she said. "Thats the normal serving after its chopped". Ive been going to chopt getting same salad forever and this is not acceptable for a $14 salad! read more

I am so grateful to have an option like this in Charlotte. It's a wonderful, healthy and filling meal.

My favorite place in town to grab a salad! I know it's not a local restaurant but I'm a huge fan of this franchise. I usually go with the Chicken Tinga Salad but recently I went with their new Key West Jerk Chicken Salad and it is absolutely delicious! I highly recommend it as it has a nice little spicy kick to it. The creamy habanero dressing on the salad was just what it needed! Order online and skip the wait! They put your order on the shelf next to the register. Not exactly the most secure way to get your order as I feel like anyone can come in and grab a bag off the shelf... but luckily I haven't had a bad experience with that! read more

This is the most unsanitary Chopt I have ever been to. It is always messy..... Today, my friend had a maggot in her salad. Will never return. read more

Ordered a salad with my jobs delivery service. I added stuff to it and only the added stuff was in my salad. It's like the place disregarded the salad I actually ordered. Will not be ordering from here again read more

This was the most intense salad buying experience of my life. I wish I could end my review there but I know that's not very yelp-ish of me. This was my first time at a Chopt ever so I didn't know what I was walking into. When I got there, there was a sign showing where all their fresh ingredients came from, signs over the workers showing the salads, bowls and wraps offered and me, super confused at what direction I was going to go in as I couldn't see the options for make your own and I didn't want to be that person during dinner rush that didn't know what they wanted or how to make a "chopt" salad. So I went with the Mexican Vegan. The guy who put my salad together in a bowl then said "follow me if you want to survive" ( just kidding, he didn't say follow me). He raised his arm and said "line four" and he walked all the way down to the other side of the counter, dropped my bowl of salad in another line of bowls of salads and went back to making other people's bowls. At this point, I'm in another line, although this one is perpendicular to the counter and you come face to face with the CHOPPER. Mwahaha. This person is a person whose job it is to murder your hand crafted bowl of greens til your sadist heart is content with how cut everything is. I bought my bowl back to my hotel room where I finally could try this magical salad and....it was alright. I think it was more that I went with the mexican vegan which is totally on me. I ate 3/4 of it and didn't feel like I could finish it yet I was still hungry. This is a feeling that this food loving girl doesn't like or understand! I would pick a different salad next time but overall, I think it's an interesting place and an unique experience. read more

My daughter and I purchased our usual salad choices which we typically enjoy. Today however, there was a strong orange taste in all three to go salads. my daughter is pregnant so we are concerned that it is some type of cleaning or disinfecting solution. I attempted to call the store several times with no answer. My advice is to STAY AWAY from the park road store. read more

I love the food here, but unfortunately your location has a RUDE female worker that hang up the phone on me when i called today tuesday june 1st at 7:20pm. I just wanted to add some dressings on the side for my DoorDash order and she was making this whole request extremely difficult for me and she decided to hang up the phone. If this is how you treat your customers i dont want to buy here anymore! Such a frustrating and upsetting experience. I can understand your location is short in staff but that is not an excuse to be rude and to hang up the phones on people. Specially with such a simple request.. read more

I'm already looking forward to my next trip here! I was a little worried when I walked in the line was practically at the door! But everyone was friendly, the line was moving fast and as a newbie it gave me time to see other folks salads and decide on my very first one. So many choices it's easy to get overwhelmed. But what I really liked is that the staff explains everything to you and you can easily make additions or substitutions to your custom salad as needed. I decided to go with the Chopped salad because it basically had so many yummy ingredients I couldn't pass up. It's packed with chicken, ranch smoked bacon, an egg, blue cheese and tomatoes. I switched the dressing out for the Mexican Goddess and if your a fan of salad dressing's with a little kick I'd absolutely recommend it. Don't worry, you can sample the dressing before they out it in AND they ask you to let them know how much dressing you'd like on your salad. (Yep, you're totally winning here). Just watching them make the salads is cool but what's better is that they are a good size portion with fresh and tasty ingredients. Chop't you had me at hello.....see ya soon! read more

Was fortunate enough to hear that Chopt was having a limited free lunch serving on Wednesday and Thursday of this week. I snuck into the new location around 11:30am and was greeted by a friendly (manager?) who was helping direct the first-timers and show us the lay of the land. A warning to newbies: expect this place to be very busy in the first upcoming weeks. Chop't has a bit of a cult following and rightfully so. Expect people to be a little bit slow in ordering until they get a hang of the layout. This is the south after all. After standing in a long, but quickly moving queue, you order from a well-prepared selection of salad choices, as well as a make-your-own option. They also have a pretty awesome kids menu if that's your thing. Now let me tell you, people come to this place for the ingredients. They are plentiful and so fresh and there are really so many different choices. I chose the Mexican Caesar salad which was appointed one of the "first time favorites". After ordering and customizing your choice, you and your salad are then assigned to a "chopper". The "chopper" allows you to customize the type and amount of dressing/salt/and pepper, and then thoroughly mixes and chops it all together. Don't let the size of the bowl fool you, after they chop everything and smash it into the bowl...this is A LOT of salad. Think, hard to finish in one sitting sized salad. The guy next to me in line opted for the hot quinoa bowl option which looked totally delicious and will most certainly be one of the next choices I try when I get there. At the register, this time they allowed us to enjoy the meal gratis, while suggesting a donation to a cool local charity: Green Teacher Network. Don't skip the drinks, because their sweet tea and lemonade sweetened with honey is not to be missed. Their dining room is small and noisy, but has a comfortable mix of booths and regular tables. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience, the employees were friendly and quick, and you guys will definitely be seeing me again soon. read more

Sadly, the Chopt experience was not good tonight. Ordered three salads for pick up. Our Santa Fe salad was missing cheese. There were maybe six small chunks of added chicken (at 2.99 extra!) and it was so lacking in the other choppings. Pretty much just lettuce. These bowls are so big. Why so stingy with the "dressing on the side"? One small container per salad is not enough. The second salad, a customer craft, had the same issue of not a lot of "choppings" per all the lettuce. And the third salad, a cobb, same. Stingy on the choppings. Won't be back. $35 for three bowls of romaine lettuce with some bits Chopt in, no thanks. read more

We visited Chopt for the first time on Black Friday. It was super busy, but not so much that we had to wait long. While it's a little pricier compared to the all-you-can-eat salad bar I can get across the street at Jason's Deli, Chopt offers a unique concept. You pick the salad you want from their menu (or build your own) and then you're taken to one of the chopping stations with your designated chopper. You watch in amazement as the chopper pulls out a machete-looking tool and goes to work on your salad. You can have them chop it as much or as little as you want. I stopped somewhere in between with my Cobb Salad. I then opted for the healthier Greek yogurt tzatziki dressing instead of my normal blue cheese one, which turned out to be delicious, and I didn't even notice the difference. It was pretty crowded inside and out, but we found a nice table right along the window, so we got to enjoy the sunshine. The salads were sized "just right" for me, and it was fresh and tasty. I'll definitely be back, but I wish their salads were priced a little bit lower for me to return more often. read more

Really excited about Chopt, I've visited other locations and like the other ones , this Park Road location is nice, open and airy. Decorated in a very modern way. This location also has outdoor seating if you like. I love the Nashville Hot Chicken chopped Salad so much , I chavent tried anything else off the menu. The team here making your salad was very friendly, and patient . This restaurant, like a few other restaurants in the area has an app powered by Level Up which makes it easy to order/pay ahead and to checkout and gain rewards . read more

Better experience second time a round - they seem to be figuring everything out! Plus, I downloaded the mobile app for $3.00 off my meal - great deal, you guys! This time, I had the 7 Summits with soasted seasonal squash, charred red onion, pecorino cheese, quinoa, lentil & millet blend and kale, spinach & cabbage. I subbed edamame for the cheese. I love that they are so flexible with allowing that. Great salad all around, great customer service, and very friendly and accomodating staff members. They have someone greet you at the door, someone near the order line to improve efficiency and answer questions, and various customer interactions during the salad "chopping" process. Efficient teamwork and a great concept! read more

Always a great place to grab a salad with tons of fresh ingredients. I've gotten the chicken tanga as well which also is delicious.

I totally love the fresh concept and originality of this restaurant! I've actually never seen anything before like it. The vegan items are plentiful and clearly marked on the menu. The place looked clean and contemporary. While they have numerous beverage concoctions (brewed tea or infused waters) that were sweetened with honey, they also had equal amounts that were vegan. The calories are clearly posted and you can easily make a meal that is waist-friendly. The reason I'm not rating it with more stars is because the ordering and pick up process is a little hectic, jumbled, and overall chaotic. The menu is also not clear about what the sandwich is. The board states that you get your choice of green with the sandwich, so I thought it was a lettuce wrap, but instead they serve the sandwich in a tortilla, but that is not stated anywhere. I was not given the bread with my salad like other posts mentioned. Then although they appeared to be eco-friendly, you throw your trash into the same receptacle as the excessive plastic salad bowl and lid instead of separating them, so I wonder if someone really picks through the garbage to ensure that the items are actually recycled and not sent to a landfill. It was also very noisy in the restaurant. Despite the above, I would still consider going again. read more

Chopt Creative Salad Co. - Granted.... Not a very colorful or exciting looking salad. - Salad Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

This Chopt location is extremely solid. It's been the destination for me and my girlfriend after several weekends of destroying our bodies with bad food and alcohol. It has never failed to bring me back to neutral. It's next to a few convenient things - post office, harris teeter - so it can definitely get crowded at times. I definitely recommend ordering online beforehand to skip the line. All the ingredients I've ever selected from a salad here have been great and I can't really recall a bad bite. The only thing I wish they would do is dress the salads a LITTLE bit more. However, I always end up grabbing a dressing on the side to make the salad a little bit better for me, and that always works out. Overall, very yummy and I will continue to come back here. read more

Mmmm mmmmm mmmmm Chopt is not officially open in Charlotte but today they are serving free salads to get the buzz around town . Make sure you add this delicious gourmet salad eatery to your check in list ! You can choose from one of the Chopt salads or craft your own Chopt salad with a variety of lettuce options such as kale, arugula, spinach , romaine, or a mix . There is an assortment of fresh fruits, veggies , cheese/dairies, grains , proteins , and even crunch for a true salad artist . Also , for the avid meal preppers , calories are included for each menu item . I love the assortment of dressings as well they have your all time favorites , speciality Chopt mixes , or some low cal options they call "Spa" dressings . The menu doesn't display the specials for each location , but if you want something with a little more weight , Chopt also has "Salad sandwiches" , pitas, side snacks , etc in store . The pricing can get a little expensive for a salad but the quality and selection is definitely worth it. read more

If you love Chopt and you don't have the app on your phone you're doing life wrong. I can order my salad in the morning and it's ready at whatever time I indicate. You can walk in and walk out it's so wonderful! My favorite is the Mexican Cesar! I love i add the quinoa parmesan crisps. This place gets super busy during the day so definitely order on the app and find a good seat in the back of the store. It's usually pretty quiet there (i May have just given away a huge Chopt secret but it's worth it)! read more

Nice healthy choice of a restaurant. There is a wide variety of salad options. You have several choices in regards to greens. Also several protein choices. The dressing choices are phenomenal, they have all the essentials but also enough flavor twist to keep it interesting. I recommend the Santa Fe with chipotle chicken and Tex-Mex Ranch. Watch out though... it's a little spicy! I will be a weekly regular at this place from now on ... read more

Thanks to another fellow Yelper who referred me to this place. If you are looking for a full bodied salad and with hundreds of fresh combinations this is the place. You have the ability to select from a wide variety of fresh lettuce, vegetables, fruits and beans. Everything is fresh. The salad is prepared in front view while chopping everything into small bite size pieces. There are too many dressing to choose from to list but it defiantly has something to shock those taste buds. Staff is friendly and quick however; be prepared to stand in line as the place is packed. Treat yourself to something healthy yet satisfying. read more

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place. Even though its a bit of a drive over to Park Road Shopping Center, I try to get to CHOPT at least once a week! OK, here's the lowdown on everything CHOPT... If you've never been, just imagine a Chipolte, but for salads and you're good. Parking shouldn't much of an issue, as this CHOPT location is in the heart of Park Road Shopping Center. Def one of the busier shopping centers in CLT, but still should be able to find parking with no problem. I must admit, I don't experiment very much here, so I've never had any of their bowls, or "Destination Salads" which seem to reflect the the tastes and foods of a particular region around the world. I usually run the Classic Cobb or the Santa Fe - usually the Santa Fe. The main thing you gotta know about the salads is you don't have to accept the bland, boring romaine it comes with! And why would you, when you can get the CHOPT blend, or the kale, broccoleaf, purple cabbage blend?? I usually run the Santa Fe with half Chopt Blend & half kale, broccoleaf, cabbage w/ chicken (fried or grilled) - DELICIOUS! There's something addictively good about these salads. They give you a lot of salad, so I usually don't finish the entire thing at once. The salads save well in the plastic containers they come with and are great to come back to after cooling in the fridge for a few hours. Whether you choose to chill and eat it there - they have decent seating available or take it home, the freshness of the food permeates every tasty, crunchy bite! read more
