Employees were rude and impatient, despite no other actual customers in store. The first girl refused my request for extra cilantro because it was ready in the cabbage mix. The second girl was short and abrupt when I requested a dairy free option for my dressing. This was our second attempt here, and will not be coming back. The last girl at the register was friendly, and the food was decent. Better atmosphere at McDonald's. read more

I'm not one to normally complain, but I was frustrated with my experience at the Chopt in Blakeney shopping center (Charlotte, NC). I requested avocado in my salad that didn't originally have avocado in the ingredients. The girl helping me put so little avocado in the bowl that I contemplated asking her to take it out rather than pay an extra $2 for nothing. Instead I asked if she would add a little more, and she did, but charged me twice. I understand the concept of ask-twice-charge-twice, but good customer service would have recognized the insufficiency and given a generally appropriate amount. In addition to charging my twice, my salad as a whole was not enough to touch the top of the to-go lid (which is the standard experience I have when getting a Chopt salad). I love Chopt, and don't usually have this experience, but this was irritating considering this girl spoke to me like she was irritated with me before I ever arrived. read more

In the mood for a great salad? This is your place. So many fresh ingredients to choose from for a build your own salad. But the menu offers per-designed salads. One of my favorites is the Chicken Tinga. I have made this selection on my past few visits here. I love what I like to call their traveling menu. Every few months they have special selections of pre-designed salads that are based on a specific global location. It's truly hard to choose, they all sound very tempting. I do find it a bit pricey for a salad, but the portions are generous and the chopped feature makes a salad into what you really want at home but aren't into all the work. They do offer bread to accompany your salad but only on request. Despite my minor concerns, I will always return to Chopt when I'm hankering for a good salad ! read more

The last time I lunched here, I was with a work colleague and it was so noisy that we could not have business discussions. Today was different, maybe because Zac and I went right after the lunch rush. I created my own salad with romaine and kale and falafel and cucumbers and tomatoes. I had a low calorie creamy lemon herb dressing. It is amazing how finely they chop everything. You almost don't know what's in the salad because everything is so chopped up. They definitely earn their name. Anyway, my salad went on forever. I was barely able to finish it, though it was very tasty. There is definitely a need for restaurants that offer foods that are not fattening. Too many burger places; not enough good salad places. This one fits the bill nicely and I hope they continue to do well. read more

Is it just Chopt that is having staffing problems? Ordered at 12pm, quoted a 1230pm pickup of 2 salads and it's still not done. 1pm. I assume it's staffing and I hope it's not affecting quality or food safety. read more

Yikes! The ordering experience, the quality of how it was made (chicken barely chopped, dressing poorly mixed in), the cleanliness of the bathrooms & tables, even the plants were dying... idk whats happen but y'all should consider assessing. read more

Just left here now. FRIENDLY STAFF is an understatement! Amazing fresh ingredients. Please go here it really is worth it

From the terribly unfriendly staff, to the stingy portion of dressing which led to me asking for some on the side that I was told would be added but never was, to the disappointing flavor in the salad which was 95% kale, lettuce and cabbage with practically none of the add ins that were what made it sound like this salad would be so great. We ate a little bit at the table outside before deciding it wasn't worth eating then ordered from another establishment online and headed over to pick it up. The only reason not a one star, my husband thought his salad "wasn't too bad" and I did enjoy he slice of bread in the little bag. It was so loud inside we couldn't hear the employees and kept having to ask what they were saying. All around bad experience for our first and last time there. read more

As a vegetarian I was excited to see this place pop up near my work. I quickly downloaded the app which makes it easy to order at work (you can even earn points). I finally had the opportunity to try them out and ordered some takeout. My salad didn't have avocado (an item valued at $1.99). I called and spoke to a very friendly and understanding employee who offered to remake the salad for me. I explained that traveling back to the store was not conducive to my plans that evening so she took my information and offered me a free salad upon my next visit. That was very kind of her and I was quite impressed with her ability to provide legendary service by exceeding my expectations. Minutes later, I received a call from the manager. To my surprise she informed me that despite the lack of avocado in my salad she would be doing nothing. I would not be getting the agreed upon free salad. In my opinion, the manager handled the situation very unprofessionally and I have no interest in returning. read more

Had this for the first time the other day after hearing nothing but good things. I was very impressed with the portion size, i wasn't even able to finish my salad. The one downside i had was that i got ceasar dressing and after eating it for a bit the anchovies flavor really started to come through and i couldnt stomach it anymore. Next time ill definitely be sticking to ranch but everything else was top notch! read more

My favorite place to go get a salad! The employees are very friendly and helpful. I reccomend this for lunch!

I had a great experience at this location. Sarah who made salads for myself and my mom was awesome! She was patient and my mom choose a dressing that better suit her palate. Sarah's kindness was greatly appreciated. Thank you!!! read more

Dear Chopt, Do you know what it feels like to diarrhea and vomit at the same time? Do you know what it feels like to be so sick from throwing up for six hours straight that your body is weak and shaking uncontrollably because it is doing everything it can to force the bad out? After ten hours of being sick with maybe a total of two hours of terrible interrupted sleep, I woke up to a fever of 102 and I am still running to the bathroom all day today because my body is still sick from your dirty contaminated salad. I have never been so sick from food before in my life, but now I can thank CHOPT for showing me the limits of sickness that a body can endure. read more

It's a good salad, large, lots of toppings, good flavor. The price seems crazy for a salad, but they are at least large and actually filling. Quinoa is in too many of their salads, and it's pretty nasty, I hate the texture. Other than nasty quinoa, everything looked fresh, and tasted good. The Chopt name is because they take all the ingredients, dump it on a plate, and use a two handled knife to chop the salad into tiny bites. A little gimmick that mixes everything together, but after you chop salad up into tiny pieces, dream on about it not turning into a wilted mess after a couple hours. The atmosphere is what you'd expect from a trendy salad joint...it's a trendy salad joint stuck in the shell of a mix between Five guys and Chipotle. To quote the Simpsons "You don't win friends with salad!" It's a good salad, not a bad choice if you are looking for a salad, but they are darn near the price of a firebirds entree salad. They have tons of people working, so it explains why it was $25 for 2 of us to eat, and I had water. I just didn't find it was that good of value. read more

Fresh! Fresh! Fresh! My girlfriend and i were planning a lunch on my day off and per the norm I hit the computer machine to check the interwebs of yelp.com! Alas! Here i scroll upon the great land of Chopt Creative Salad Company... As you enter you are welcomed to a bright, airy, clean and modern interior. And then BAM! it hits you in the face the: the deliciously large menu board. plenty to choose from based on your hunger level. She chose the crunchy Vietnamese salad and He chose the Kebab Bobb Salad. You place your order at the counter, they place all the ingredients in a bowl and hand it over to the chop master.. and chop and chop they do right to your chopped liking. OMSG Oh! My! Salad! God! Incredibly fresh and delicious!!! No sodas to choose from - great idea - but they do have a large selection of natural teas to quench your thirst! Yes, it can be a bit pricey .. but well worth it and oh so delicious! read more

Finally decided to give this place a try and I'm a fan! First time I had the Cobb salad and I was pleased to see that they packed the salad and toppings in and weren't stingy at all. They ask you what level of chop't you want and they also allow you to let them know how much dressing to put on it. You can make your version of a salad or you can pick from their signature salads or grain and noodle bowls. I was certain that after my cobb salad I would be hungry in a couple of hours but I wasn't! It was quite filling. We even got a slice of bread to go with the salad. My daughter got the Kale Caesar and my friend got the cobb for herself and the salmon bowl for her hubby. Yumminess all around! We returned today, three days later and got the Kale Caesar again and my other daughter got the Santa Cruz quinoa bowl. Today the person making it was a bit stingy with the ingredients on the Santa Cruz bowl and they only put a 1/4 piece of avocado in it whereas you get a half avocado in the cobb salad. They wanted to charged $1.99 for another quarter avocado which I think is just insane but the guy was nice enough to just add a little extra since we didn't know it would be so costly. That extra piece would put the bowl at over 12 bucks and the bowls are not that big. The Kale Caesar is $6.29 and the Cobb and Santa Cruz bowl are $10.29. Despite that, the salads are very good and the Santa Cruz bowl, though pricey and a bit lacking on portion size, was delicious! The Kale Salad was delish but it would be great if they added a tad bit more cheese because once you get it all chopped up the small amount of cheese gets lost. They do have the option of you choosing your greens and up to 4 toppings from a specific category but if you like a lot of stuff in your salad it can get a bit pricey. I feel like this place is like Chipotle and your experience can hang on whether have you a tight fisted employee or not. You know the ones who act like if they give you even one extra grain its coming out of their paycheck? LOL!! With the prices, they'd be good to err on the side of generosity in order to make customers want to come back again. My first visit I definitely felt okay with the price because they were generous and the second visit, not so much and we didn't get any bread. The food was still yummy. Let's hope the third time is like the first. I'll let you know. That is all! read more

I feel bad for the average rating but hear me out. I walked in and waited for my friend. I've never been to this place ever but had an idea of how the concept was. When we walked to the line, I told the girl I wanted romaine lettuce and to add steak to my salad. She asked me if I didn't want any other toppings to it? So, since I'm new to all this, I thought maybe she wanted my toppings first and then let her know I wanted steak later. It was pretty obvious I was new but she didn't really walk me through with anything. They had a good variety of items. You can pick up to 4 items and anything over that is .79 cents extra. It can definitely get expensive. You get a ton of lettuce but I don't think it was worth it with the little toppings. She walked me over to the gentleman that was gonna chop my salad. He was mixing it and chopping it up and then asked me about my dressing. Wait...what about my steak? He said it wasn't written on there. So you had to go all the way down the line to get my steak. I didn't know the steak was gonna be cold. I thought it would be warm because I've had steak salads before. I paid over $13 for my salad. Nice and interesting experience but definitely not worth it for me. read more

The salad was amazing. I am not even a salad person and I was extremely impressed.. If you want a salad try this place out.. They also have nice outdoor seating. read more

I love Chopt Salads! At first I was a little intimidated because it is always a long line especially on the weekends and the menu you has a lot of options that made it hard for me to decide what salad to order and then what salad dressing I wanted to add to my salad. My go to salad is the California Steakhouse. OMG its amazing and I cant seem to order anything else yet. I added fried onions to the salad to give it a little crunch. You really cant beat that huge salad that only has 230 calories!! The ingredients are always fresh and the employees always chop my salad to perfection. I can never finish a whole salad so it might be perfect for people to possibly share. The teas are really good and so many great flavors. I did not realize there was Agave available to sweeten your tea but my tea was still good unsweetened. There is not soft drinks available here. I love Chopts unique concept and their amazing menu. read more

I was disappointed in the Chop't location. I am a loyal fan of the one on Park Rd. The worker wasn't sure what toppings came with my salad, which is not what bothered me. My salad wasn't chopped! She said you now have to ask if you want the salad chopped. My toppings haven't been chopped up, and the eating enjoyment is severely limited. Overall, this location seemed to be full of newbies and running very slowly compared to other locations I frequent. read more

I stopped by to pick up lunch and was surprised on how rude the employee was. He was obviously not in a good mood and unhappy to assist me with my order. I absolutely love the food at Chopt. I hate their customer service is so bad! read more

Had a make your own salad with all of my favorite ingredients which I couldn't taste because the house vinaigrette dressing was so aggressively spiced I couldn't taste anything else even though I asked for light. Very disappointing for such an expensive salad. read more

Two salads with shrimp and avocado $31.00 now that is ridiculous But it did taste great but not worth it. And that is with no drinks. read more

I came here with my mom, had a wonderful lunch! I had the Mexican Caesar and she had the Santa Fe. They chop everything up really tiny and it is delicious. Very healthy place...no soft drinks! I can't wait to come back and try more. The pics I took are not good bc it just looks like chopped greens but it was delicious! They had a nice tall lady walking around asking people in line if they had questions, etc. definitely will put this place in my regular rotation! read more

A salad version of chipotle. It was fast service for a crowded place, fresh produce and very filling. You get to choose what kind of salad you prefer and then they bring it over to a chopper and he chops it up into the perfect pieces and adds as much dressing as you want. The price was great and they give you a piece of complimentary bread for free. For drinks they have 4 or 5 different teas or cucumber lemon water. I recommend this place for anyone looking for a healthy place to have lunch with friends and talk or are in a hurry but want a healthy meal. read more

Love this salad place! Its so quick, easy, and healthy! I usually do the make your own salad and oh my the portions are HUGE! I almost always want to tell them to not put so much because they always load up the salad SO big!! The place is clean, the staffs are friendly and the salad is yummy! No complaints here =) read more

Best damn salad I have had in a long time and the people here are awesome!!!! I made mine personal. I got spinach, kale and arugula with grilled chicken and some spicy Chipotle sauce for a dressing. Oh wow!!! It's almost wrong that a salad is this good! read more

I originally had Chop't in NYC and places like this are a dime a dozen in most other cities. I am not surprised that there is a buzz around this place considering Charlotte doesnt offer a ton of easy, casual, healthy options. When I think of healthy, I am talking about food with integrity. No hormones or antibiotics in the meat, organic when possible, clean ingredients, fresh, etc. The place was very clean, the menu pretty easy to follow and overall friendly service. I decided to create my own salad. The salad was huge but I found out after the fact you can do a half order which is a nice option. I chose the mixed greens for my base and they loaded me up with all the other veggies I wanted. The veggies/toppings are good but they didnt have a few staples like artichokes, almonds, fruit (other than dried cranberries), red onions (only some weird grilled version), red peppers, etc. I went with the grilled chicken and it was gross. Tough. Flavorless. I opted for the white balsamic vinegar and that was pretty tasty. They allowed me to try a few dressings before committing, which I appreciated considering most of them were pretty unique. Overall, good place. Not my favorite but I would go again when I am craving a huge salad. read more

So. I paid $12 for some lettuce, corn, peaches, blue cheese, and onions. Oh and a half a piece of bread...idk about you but $12 is way too expensive for this salad. read more

Eh, I feel pretty indifferent about my experience. I eat a homemade salad for lunch daily, and I've gotten pretty good about making creative ones so that it doesn't get boring. I was eager to try Chopt though as an alternative to days when I am feeling lazy about making a lunch. When I went the line wasn't too crazy although parking can be a bit interesting. Inside it's very sleek and modern but some signage about where to line up to order and where to stand for the chopping station would help to lessen the cluster. To help, you order all the way to left. If the board menu is too overwhelming, there are card menus nearby on the wall. I tried the Mavericks grain salad, which has quinoa, scallion, corn, cilantro, and avocado on a bed of kale and cabbage blend. I added grilled chicken for extra protein. I tried the chipotle vinaigrette with a squeeze of lime as my dressing which helped up the flavor profile. The chipotle definitely has some heat to it though. I though the size was underwhelming for the price. It looked like you get maybe more bang for your buck if you create your own. read more

All round the best salad that you can get. Literally everything is super fresh. Even if the line is super long they crank the salads out really quick. I have been to Chopt numerous times and tried multiple salads and have yet to be disappointment. The workers are always friendly and it is an overall great experience! read more

It was surprisingly hectic when I walked into Chopt at 2:30 on a Friday, but I was greeted at the door with a menu and ushered into a line. Basically you either pick a set salad (there are no sandwiches, even the confusingly-named "salad sandwiches" are just salads) or make your own a la carte. It's a big menu, with lots of options and add-on pricing. It seemed like pricing could get steep if you had lots of mix-ins. It then got a little confusing from there. I picked a set salad and somehow the person working on my salad didn't get it right. She didn't really even make eye contact with me and she walked off (it was hard to keep track of her) She then handed me a slip with an incorrect salad listed, and before I could correct her she said "go to station 2" and walked away. There were no signs just lines of people. I looked for station two, and went to the second cash register (that was wrong), so then they pointed me to the right place...I think signs would be helpful for when it's really busy. I would have just went with the salad they gave me at that point but I couldn't eat a main ingredient in this one so they re-made it for me quickly. After your salad is assembled they take it out and place it on a table where they chop it into tiny bits and add the dressing. The salad came with really good free bread and they had a nice selection of teas and infused water. My salad was under $10, but was huge and contained chicken so I felt like it was fairly reasonable. I ended up with the Po-Boy Salad Sandwich (salad) Overall the flavor was good, I didn't love the panko-crusted chicken (it wasn't crispy and was cold) so I would choose grilled next time. I would say it was a good salad and a nice option for fast-casual. Now that I understand what I'm getting myself into, I think the process will be easier next time... I hope! read more

Chopt had been one of my favorite stops for lunch and occasional dinner with the family for about a year or more. However, I have now gotten sick more than once - the first I chalked up to coincidence and didn't think too much about it as it wasn't that bad and I thought maybe I had a minor stomach bug. However, my latest experience was so horrid that I will very likely not be returning to this or any Chopt location. To be fair, I will say the employees have always been friendly and given great customer service. So nothing bad to say about that! I just wish I hadn't gotten so sick. I realize now there is inherent risk in a salad-focused restaurant where there are many people handling the food and the food is sitting out (albeit chilled from underneath, I assume). But I spent more than 12 hours with stomach cramps, vomiting, chills, sweats and diarrhea and it took more than a day afterwards to start to feel normal again. Yuck. Once you've seen a salad in reverse, there is little that can entice me to try this chain again. So bummed because I had really loved this place and thought it was a healthy option. Hopefully this was an isolated incident, but I've now read of others having similar experiences at this chain and similar salad "fast food' restaurants. :( read more

We used to go here all the time since it opened in the area - the salads were always freshly made, of good portions, and very good. Now the staff seems confused and does not know the products. I've noticed there's a lack of concern about the customer and the portions are smaller as well. Also the salad is no longer chopped in front of you. For the price you pay it's no longer worth it. The service and food quality is not not what it used to be. So sad because this used to be one of our favorite places to go for a quick bite. read more

If I could give 0 stars for this place I would. If you order online, you can expect that they probably won't get the order right and that it will take forever. The management doesn't seem to understand that they need someone who just fills the online orders during busy times. There were probably 20+ people who waited in line and got their orders before me. There was no apology for taking so long, just an unfriendly here's your order! This store has been disaster since it opened. They have lost another customer permanently! read more

Great salad with make your own style. I did the romaine, grilled chicken, then you get 4 add ins--I chose olives, carrots, goat cheese, walnuts with dijon vinaigrette. I liked the flavor and the fresh veggies. The people were friendly and I ate healthy. It is a win win. Good food fast! read more
