    Create Your Own Salad

    I love Chopt but I'm disappointed in this location because this is the 3rd time I came here and have to throw out half my salad. The lettuce is always going bad.

    The food was delicious and very filling. Considering all the restaurants in the area, this is a relatively healthy option.

    Small salad

    I really wanted the chid-sized salad because I wasn't really hungry. Was told I could not order that size, though I have ALWAYS ordered that size before this visit. Anyway, I was talked into ordering a small salad (but cost $9 more) for the exact same size. Server was not friendly and the mix-ins were barely evident. A bit disappointed today.

    Tried this restaurant for the first time and my taste buds were pleasantly surprised lol. The food was delivered quickly and was very fresh and flavorful. The Cobb salad is thee best! The veggies and chicken were all fresh and the pickled red onions and corn gave it a very robust taste. I highly recommend trying this spot for your next salad

    Orchard salad - I put the toppings on the top to show how few they serve.

    For a place that specializes in salads, they should be ashamed of themselves. I stopped by for a pick up order and got there a few minutes before my scheduled time. I received a text message while in the store that my food was ready but my order didn't come out for another 4 minutes after my pickup time. The employee then told me the bread would be another 7-8 minutes so I left without it. So service was not that great to start but I try and be understanding as I know many places are short staffed right now. However, I get home with my orchard salad and there are almost no toppings. I had two pieces of diced green apple, a container with about a teaspoon of walnuts, no cheese and a few small slices of super dry chicken. Not at all like the picture they provide online, not even the same kind of apples! There are so many other places with much better salads and prices in town. I recommend skipping this location and hitting up Vintner, Portofinos or New South Kitchen if you're in the Arboretum.

    Mexiketo Carnitas Bowl

    Stopped by here after a facial at Massage Envy. I have been to this location a few times and they have never disappointed. I have had a couple of salads and warm bowls, I like the Chicken Tinga, Mexican ceasar, and I most recently love that you can substitute Cauliflower rice for grains. This saves calories and is a healthy substitute! I tried a new warm bowl called the Mexiketo Carnitas Bowl. It was spicy and yummy. I did substitute out the grains for the cauliflower rice. This bowl was almost $14, as a heads up. The rewards app is a must have so that you get a $10 credit for every $100 you spend.

    Veggies options galore!

    Confusing and pricy are two words that come to mind when I think of my experience at Chopt. I walked in to a huge board of "salad recipes" which looked like different combinations of salads and dressings, which was pretty cool. I wanted a "build your own" salad and to be the master of my own destiny. I had to ask if that was okay and it was however I was given no instruction. I had to ask if I was able to choose different sizes which there are two or three to choose from. I started building my masterpiece then after adding three toppings and half way through dumping the fourth in my bowl of greens I was told "this is your fourth topping and they are $.79 (or $.75, I can't remember) after three". This came as a shock because I would have preferred a lot more veggies or at least some different options from what I selected had I known the rules of the game. Overall, the salad and it's ingredients were fresh and tasty. I think I paid ~$10 which isn't horrible but could have been $20 had I kept going.

    Pleasant dining area.

    I love the Chopt concept and I prefer this location, by far, to the one in Blakeney. They offer a standard menu as well as specially themed menus that change regularly. This month's specialties were from Thailand. The Thai Shrimp Summer Roll Salad was fresh and delicious and the Chicken Tinga bowl, my go-to dish, is always excellent. Complimentary Bread is available. Service at this location is friendly and attentive. Sanitation score was a 96. The dining room is attractive and comfortable. I can't find a thing to complain about.

    I like Chopt. I really like this location. I like how you can order ahead on the app and have your food ready to pick up when you get there. I like how spacious and modern the dining area is. I even like the people who work here because they are just so dang friendly. There isn't much to not like here. I guess some might argue that salads shouldn't cost $10, but I'd argue back that the value is in the selection, quality, and freshness. I've never had any wilted greens, spoiled spinach, or really any bad toppings to speak of. Everything gets chopped here, and the guy/gal doing your chopping will add however much dressing you'd like, along with salt & pepper. On a busy day during lunch time, you're going to be standing in line for awhile. Take my advice and use the mobile app. I'm not always in the mood for a salad. But as far as getting a filling meal under 500 calories without feeling overburdened by your lunch choice, Chopt is the way to go.

Really great portion with the chicken, very tender and flavorful. The breading was excellent not too heavy beautifully seasoned. The veal is slightly firmer, great flavor, cooked good - wish it was a little bigger portion, but I understand veal cost more than chicken. Got salads and tried House and Caesar - very good My only suggestion -- I love pasta and fettuccine is my FAVORITE! I would suggest linguine for BOTH because it's smaller in size (slightly) so holds the flavors/sauce much better. You can get any pasta - but my personal opinion - should've gone with cappelini for both it would've held the sauce even better. Excellent flavors - I love lemon and capers! The pasta was cooked PERFECTLY! If anything? I wish the chicken francaise had more sauce because I know when I finish it tomorrow, it's gonna soak up even more and taste so good! Lastly? They give you the bread. Oh my God, you could put a chunk of butter on there or dip it in olive oil with Parmesan or you just eat it plain - so good!!!!

    WOW, Wow, wow! This restaurant SCREAMS for a five-star rating, but as this was our first time…read morehere, I am reluctant to immediately give one of my precious five-stars based on only a one time shot. That said, Yard Dog is not a dog at all, but a superb little restaurant with a great menu and mouth-watering foods. Oh boy! Wife and I entered and were surprised at just how small their dining area was. Couple that with a not-so-pleasant noise level, you will have difficulty seating more than four and conversation will be tough, but not impossible. You came to eat. It is a very cozy, busy and fun place. In addition to the super menu there is a chalk board with specials. Check those out first. I spotted catch of the day, which was Red Snapper, a favorite of mine, which came with two sides ($26). When served, it was three fillets, so the whole eatable parts of the fish, topped with a Cajun spice mixture and a horseradish sauce. This is a to-die-for or last meal item. The fish was perfectly cooked and my side of collards were as mammy has done for eons: flavorful with pork and a perfect complement to my catch of the day. And the fried okra was great and I paid the $.50 for ranch dressing, as fried okra SHOULD be so complemented. Wife does not eat sea food, so she was, initially, confronted with the challenge of finding a dish without seafood in it. She did. There were a number of options, like pasta with Andouille sausage ($21) which is listed as with shrimp, but they omitted the shrimp for her. She also spied blackened meatloaf and some other items for the next visit. The place is busy and the wait staff is hustling as fast as the kitchen can get orders out. The kitchen looks so small, but they are a blur of motion cooking and plating. Kudos to the kitchen and servers. Our server was Sophie and she was excellent. There are beverages on a separate menu, mostly wine, beer and hard cider, with some non-alcohol items also available. We both had hard cider at $6 a can. Draft beer was available at $7 a glass. We will definitely return, even give lunch a try. I will most likely answer the siren call for five stars, which is certainly in the cards. See for yourselves.

    We really enjoy this place. Just don't make it there enough. Service is always excellent. The food…read morealways has wonderful flavors. And it's decorated really nice.

    I already loved the smaller Pineville location, so I was excited to try this newer, larger…read morebrick-and-mortar location out toward the Matthews side of town. And honestly, this place is beautiful. The restaurant has a huge dining room, lots of natural light, an open-concept kitchen, and plenty of seating, which makes it feel much more like a destination restaurant versus just a quick grab-and-go spot. Parking is easy too, which immediately lowers my stress level. Big parking lot, easy in and out, no drama. Normally, I'm a total creature of habit here. I usually order one of their incredible bánh mì sandwiches because that in-house baked baguette absolutely steals the show. Crispy outside, soft inside, and the perfect ratio of bread to filling. And of course, I almost always pair it with one of their dangerously strong Vietnamese iced coffees because they are rocket fuel in the best possible way. But this last visit, I actually veered away from my regular order and tried the beef short ribs over rice, and wow -- it absolutely did not disappoint. The short ribs were tender, flavorful, rich, and incredibly satisfying. When the plate first came out, I honestly thought the portion looked a little small, but clearly my eyes were bigger than my stomach because by the end of the meal, it was actually the perfect amount of food. Filling without making me feel miserable afterward, which honestly is a rare gift. I still stand by their garlic noodles, summer rolls with peanut sauce, and smoothies too. The pineapple and passion fruit smoothies are especially fantastic. What I really appreciate about Lula's is that it feels approachable. Whether you already know Vietnamese food well or you're just starting to explore it, it's a welcoming place to branch out and try something new. The staff is friendly, service is fast, portions are thoughtful and generous, and the value is excellent. Honestly, if I lived closer to this side of town, I'd probably eat here constantly. Charlotte, get curious about food. There's a whole world waiting for you out there, so get out there and eat your way through it.
