Frankly, we need more salad spots like this! One of my favorite things for lunch is a big make your own salad. I was able to customize my order and place it online so that I just had to drop in and do a quick pick up. Everything tasted fresh and it was tasty! read more

Went today to try this place for the first time with my friends. The food was okay and it's pricey. The service wasn't great either, not friendly, not organized and bad first impression. My friend ordered a wrap and had already paid and then all of a sudden they realized they were out of wraps and gave him a tiny salad compared to what I had. Just a weird experience, I don't recommend- should've known something was off when the place wasn't busy at all!! lol read more

Consistently reliable! A great place to grab a healthy lunch that is both filling and delicious.

So I came in for lunch.. And after putting in my order and watching them make my food.. I was so angry with the place, I was ready to come back to computer and give this place a horrible review.. Got back to work, sat down at desk and the food was actually really good, so I am going with a four star. What happen was, I went in about 1pm. The place was packed and loud. The staff pulled us through very quickly which was okay, but it was so streamlined and it was so loud, they didn't really take the explain the menu or listen to what I ordered. I got a mexicali vegan salad. I wanted to order side of tempeh too, but the second I said the salad the staff person took off making the salad, never looked at me and started taking next persons order when she passed the bowl off to next person. I asked for it not chop't which I don't think they heard. So they mixed it together, which again isn't a big deal, but it starts to oxidize the food and lowers nutritional value. I asked for dressing on the side. Red Wine Vinegar. The guy fills this silo cup of vinaigrette. And I have to re ask for vinegar. I ask for only half the size container because the vinaigrette container was too much.. but they still filled it up all the way. Again really not an issue, but I don't like waste. The guy had also chop't into his hand.. and well he had a glove on and blood usually doesn't bother me, he probably should have had a bandaid on it so customers didn't have to see red. Then I asked for the Tempeh. And it comes in the tiny silo container, same one as salad dressing. For the price of the add on, I was expecting it to be a bigger portion. They ask if I want bread and gave me this paper thin piece of aluminum foil, to which my initial response was that is the tiniest, unbread like portion of bread I have ever seen. So I got back to my desk, the thin bread piece was actual a wheat tortilla. Pretty good. My salad tasted fine. The small portion of tempeh was actually fairly filling. So I think I was quick to judge. But I'm not going back at lunch time again when it is so loud. If staff wasn't so rushed and could actually hear me, i would have had a much better experience. read more

The service provided by Andy Rodriguez was top notch. He made a great salad and answered my questions as I was deciding which one to order. It was a great experience and I definitely will be back. read more

I love coming here for lunch. No line (save Panera) moves people in and out this quickly yet offers the healthiest options in midtown. The 20+ salads on this menu include calorie count, suggested dressing and the calorie count for the dressing as well. The only thing missing is the kick boxing instructor telling you how awesome you are for picking Chop't rather than Essn' buffet. My love is the Mexicali Vegan with Mexican goddess dressing. Light yet filling, this salad is one of the lighter options available (sans meat) that won't give you the afternoon drop (avocado, hearts of Palm, romaine, beans, crushed tortilla chips, jalapeños, tomatoes). The best part is that this restaurant gives you calorie counts/ingredients for all salads and dressings so you can decide on what you deserve to eat that day. If you've been really good all week, try their cookies or brownies-their "health conscious" items, whatever that means when it comes to carbs! One of my absolute necessary "go-to" places for lunch in midtown. read more

I didn't like anything about my chop't experience: the food, the menu, the service, the price. I usually get salads elsewhere, but my colleagues convinced me to try chop't today. I thought the topping portions were really small. Didn't really matter though, because they weren't very good. The black beans and corn had no taste. Other ingredients weren't much better. The lettuce itself was disappointing too: the romaine was a bunch of stalks and cores, and not much leafy green. Tortilla chips weren't the nice strips of flour tortillas you get at some places, but were plain corn chips instead. The dressing was OK, but nothing special, especially compared to some of the outstanding ones I have had at Just Salad. The "bread" is a joke...it is a slice of a whole wheat wrap. Price wasn't terrible, but it does cost a dollar more than it says on the website, which is annoying, not to mention that I didn't feel like I get a whole lot of value for my money. The service was pretty frantic. Maybe that is fine if you know exactly what you are getting, but not very welcoming for a new customer. read more

Having been a big fan of chop't throughout my years in college in DC- I was ecstatic to find out that there was one just a few block from my office! One thing to note is that even though the address is 100 Park Ave- the entrance is actually not on Park as it's an office building. You have to walk around park to 40th street and the entrance is halfway down the block. That being said- this location is great- very mean and modern and there is a HUGE space for waiting. (big plus in comparison to the Just salad a few blocks away) At least while you're waiting in line- you don't feel like you're always in someone's way. The line also moved incredibly fast as they have so many chopping/prep stations. Food tastes the same as what I remember from my college days! read more

Extra stars for responsive management to my previous reviews. It seems as if they do their due diligence with dissatisfied customers, which is much appreciated! Since I have ordered la chinesca salad which I liked a lot- especially the dressing! Also a pro tip if you find yourself eating a ton of leaves and no toppings, order the salad with less lettuce, that way at least the ratio appears a little better. read more

Excellent salad with fresh ingredients that was prepared just as ordered and ready for pickup when notified.

Chop't!!! Come on!!! I paid enough for a good salad and all I got was... a bowl of lettuce? I ordered an NYC Streetcart salad which was supposed to have: FreeBird chicken shawarma, cauliflower radish tabbouleh, roasted tomatoes, English cucumbers, pita chips, romaine & purple cabbage. I admit, that sounds like a DELICIOUS salad so props to Chop't for a creative menu. However... the execution wasn't very good. They skimped out on all those yummy ingredients I was promised. A bowl comprised of 90% romaine :( Speed of delivery was quick but I'd rather get a real salad! read more

Nothing special... Stopped in for lunch with a friend and it was my first time here. I think I ordered the Cobb salad (not sure because it wasn't that memorable). The line was long but the service was quick - like really quick. It was kind of confusing to order as a first-timer and the workers behind the counter just want to chop and push you along the way. Everything tasted fine but was a little pricey. The value just wasn't there for me. Perhaps I'll find myself back here but I really don't think so. read more

Good choice if you're looking for a salad at lunchtime. I work in the area and have come here a couple of times. It's a popular lunch destination for those in Midtown East so avoid peak hours if possible. I've seen the line coil around the restaurant in some instances. There's a good variety of salad-based options. I'm a fan of the Braised Chicken Tinga (on the Hot-Top Salads menu) and the Mexican Caesar if I'm in the mood for something more basic. Portions are pretty good and it's on the pricier side (i.e. $10 for the kale caesar with chicken), which is aligned with its competitors. I leave satisfied when in the mood for salad and eating an earlier lunch. It's worth checking out if you're never been to one before, especially if you enjoy specialty salads. read more

Went to this location today and I won't be going back. They used the wrong salad dressing in my salad, and instead of making me a new salad they picked out the pieces with the dressing and threw it on the floor...what is that??? If not being cheap and inattentive. I keep questioning why I strayed away from my usual 3rd avenue location. read more

My first time here. I would go again. I liked the salad being tossed with the dressing. Super fresh with a lot of options. $10 for a salad is kinda steep for a non city girl. I would give the place 4 stars expect for the price. read more

I ordered a salad online and was pretty disappointed with what showed up. For a salad that cost almost $18 there were hardly any choppings. I paid $2.99 for chicken and there was less than 1/4 cup of it in my whole salad! Essen is right around the corner and gives more choppings for half the price. I will not be recommending Chop't to anyone and will not be coming back. read more

Great salad place! First time here- love how they prepare the salads to be "chop't"; really mixes all of the flavors and ingredients so you get a little of everything in every bite. Had the steakhouse salad and tried both the blue cheese and the bacon Russian dressing mixed in the salad. Awesome choice on my part ;) Great lunch spot! read more

I love Chop't. No matter what time of day. For some reason, although very simple to make, I cannot make my salads to taste like Chop't salads, so I always end up spending around $11 on a salad bowl. I'm so happy I have two Chop't locations near me now, probably will be spending a fortune there. I'm going to take advantage of the Chop't app, where you get $10 for spending $100. I usually get the Cobb salad - I tell myself that I will get something different everytime, but I end up just getting that. The portion is great, I get full after eating about half the bowl. The workers are really polite and extremely quick. Lines during lunch time go out the door but I can usually get my food in 10 mins. I can sit here all day and say how great Chop't is, but I'm sure everyone knows! read more

I LOVE Chop't! The Mexican Caesar is my favorite! This location is always very busy around lunch hours, but the line always moves quickly and the service is always good. Unfortunately the prices are EXTREMELY high. Other than that, this is a great place to grab a great salad =) read more

3.5 rating Love the salads..the fall classic with spa Dijon & Kebab Cobb with creamy sriracha dressing (yep, they did it and I can't get enough of it) are my two favorite Chop't originals..It's a great healthy alternative with low calorie dressing options if cutting calories is your MO in eating a salad for eating a sald. Even though I think the salad can get pricey if you additional add ingredients (cucumber & avocado) when ordering a classic or crafting your own, I still prefer the Chop't over the rest of the midtown "select your own ingredients salad spots" for their wide variety of toppings & dressings Highly recommend to order ahead of time on seamless and walk over and pick it up to avoid massive lines!! FYI: If you order the Craft Your Own Salad before noon, you can choose an extra ingredient for no additional cost, costing you $6.99 for a salad with 5 toppings (instead of 4 after noon)..that is if you can limit yourself to a salad with only 5 ingredients read more

Let me preface this review with: I friggin love Chop't. As a Flex-tarian (I try to mostly eat vegetarian and vegan when I'm really on top of it) I was elated to have this location open right as I started my new job around the corner. Previously I was devoted customer to the 52nd Street location. In general chop't seems very pricey for a salad, but IMO for NYC you get a high volume for the price & I'm always full for the day if I can manage to eat the whole thing. Yes, there are loads of make your own salad bars in the city that are cheaper but until you point me to one that will give me Kale, Spinach, & Arugula with Quinoa, Smoked Tofu among other toppings with Mexican Caesar dressing, I am sticking with this chain. So they also have me hooked on the variety they provide for whatever way my diet is flexing at that time. This location is well placed for me, but may not be all that visible from Park Ave? So be ware. Went for a late lunch it was pretty much dead. The staff seemed a little slow at this hour but were accommodating. (Perhaps the regular lunch hour was insane & they were tired?) The space was clean, large, decked out like any other Cop't is. All the ingredients were very fresh and she did not over chop anything. I can also speak to their delivery! It was accurate and fast but again I'm legitimately around the corner on Madison so it's not as if they had far to go and I may have ordered just before the peak time. All in all, I felt like I was overdue for a Chop't Review since I'm basically addicted. This one ranks as high as the others in the city, that I've been to anyway. read more

The food is good. The recommended salads are definitely worth trying. Their food is simply delicious especially the wraps. However - do be warned - everyone knows how good it is and the lines at lunch time can be long. I definitely recommend giving yourself a good ten minutes to get your food between waiting on line, prep work and paying. Also give yourself a decent amount of time to enjoy the salad - well worth it! read more

I really like Chop't, but unfortunately this experience does concern and disappoint me. I ordered a Mexicali Vegan Salad and as I was eating discovered a colorful bug chopped in. :( If I wasn't busy in the office, I would head back, but please extra attention to management for bugs. Thank you. read more

One would think there's a correlation between long lines and the quality of food. After visiting Chop't, I can only conclude that either I just picked the wrong ingredients or my neck of the woods has too many health conscious crazed maniacs who's taste buds have gone on strike after years of munching on leaves instead of cake. To be frank, there is nothing special about Chop't. They provide salads. And you get to pick some ingredients and some dressing. It is exactly identical to every other salad establishment in a 10 mile radius. Their toppings are ordinary, their dressings (or in my case, balsamic vinaigrette) are traditional, and their choice of salads are plain. In fact, my review can really be summed up in two words: not creative. So if you like salads, and are willing to wait in line during the crazy hectic lunch hour, this is a good place as any. If you don't like salads, don't expect this place to change your mind. read more

Found a piece of plastic in my food today. Clearly a careless staff and an unhygienic operation. read more

Been here a few times. Key is to arrive after 2pm. No line and you have the place to your self. The salad I had was tasty and filling. They make a big show of the chopping. My only beef is the people behind the lines often lack basic English ability. That's why I 2 starred it. I can't abide being unable to communicate with my server. If I don't want cheese I should not need a translator. Besides that the salads are good. The store is clean. read more

Probably the gold standard in this fast food salad space. All the dressings I tried were full of flavor and the portions were just perfect if not on the large side. The huge line went really fast, kind of like the "Chipotle" of salads. read more

The salad was very fresh and extremely appetizing, filling and tasty. But I should have added more dressing, make sure you remember the dressing. Otherwise, your mouth will be tasting as dry as flour paper and you'll have to down a gallon of water. This place has an excellent selection of healthy snack options that closely align with their salad menu. Also, I love the fact that they offer warm-topped salads. read more

A Chop't opened today mere blocks from my office - I couldn't be more pumped. Of the various 'Make your own' Salad Chains in NY, Chop't is by far the best. This location is huge, for opening day there was a veritable army of Mezzaluna wielding Salad Ninjas chopping away at your choice of salad ingredients. They're giving everything away today for Free (with suggested donations ($1, $5, $10) for Hurricane Sandy Relief Classy AND Delicious read more

First off, I am a carnivore... and I hate salads... but this place makes some of the best salads a carnivore would eat lol! I go in here around 2pm and there's always a line... the place is really cold, but probably because to keep the lettuce and other vegetables crisp? You walk in and there's a great ambiance. A little dark and cool place and the green captures the "salad" look (although I really don't know what the salad look is). I love their logo which is the chopper that they use! How cool! Their menu is huge and they also have your own customized salads which I'd say to forget because they charge you by topping. Just grab one that they have out there already and you'll be fine trust me! My all time favorite is the Mexican Caesar with chicken and black pepper! Best salad ever... the calorie level isn't that high either (according to their website). Make sure you get their Level UP app on your phone so you can get $10 for every $100 you spend.. It's not that hard to spend 100 dollars here! LOL read more

New job in mid town allows for a lot of exploration of places to eat. This spot is so close to my office, it's definitely going to be in heavy rotation. So many options, it's a little bit of sensory overload and craziness during lunch time. The line was past the door today when I sauntered in close to 1pm. I grabbed a cobb salad minus the hard boiled egg (I can't imagine why people eat those things) with the dijon vinagrete. It was a huge portion that kept me full all day. See you again real soon to try some other salad and sandwich food options. read more

I came here during off peak hours so the line wasn't crazy. Actually the place was quite empty but the "choppers" we're quite nice. Super overwhelmed by the choices and the menu was a little bit confusing. Ended up ordering the Cobb salad. Super tasty and massive. Definitely 2 meals in one. Pricy for a salad but I'm addicted and would definitely return read more

One of my go to lunch spots. If you're looking to make your own salad and pick your own ingredients, I would suggest 1 of the million other salad places near by (Hale and Hearty, Just Salad, etc). When you come to Chop't you should pick one of their salads off their menu. If you must make variations, keep it to 1 or 2. The choppers put all the ingredients together before you have a chance to say "No peppers please". My Chop't choice: the Kale Caesar salad (which is half kale and half romaine) with Panko chicken and I'll swap out the croutons for the Parmesan quinoa crisps, if they have them. Don't be deterred if the line is out the door. The staff is super quick and you'll be out of there in no time. Also, I recommend downloading the Chop't app. Every $100 you spend, you get a $10 credit (basically a free salad). Plus you can pay with your phone. read more

Good place for lunch, there is always a long line during the time but the salad is worth it. The menu is big but the Santa Fe is easily my favorite. Has plenty of tables to sit at. read more

I really like Chop't. I would have given 5 stars, but am kinda disturbed at the pictures of bugs and plastic objects people have found in their salad and posted on yelp from the various chop't locations. Looks like they have some serious quality control issues. That said, I really enjoy many of they salads. Lately, I have been ordering the Sonoma Ceasar. read more

I'm a big fan of Chopt salads, partially because they are chopped. The other places are good, but the chopped aspect makes the salad much more enjoyable. The staff has always been accommodating and friendly, so have no complains there. They have a broad selection of ingredients, and I always add on extras. That said, there are limitations. There are long lines during lunch hour, so I always order ahead and pick it up, although others chose to have it delivered. The pickup times are too early, so I tend to pad the suggested pick up time with 5 to 10 minutes. I hate their sodas, so just get water. All this negativity, but I love their salads. read more

This is a simple straight forward, make a salad to your own design spot. Great for a quick lunch. The ingredients are quality and therefore its not going to be the cheapest lunch youve ever had, but you will feel good and charged to keep going. read more

I've been a huge fan of Chop't for quite some time! Their salads are good but their dressings are what sells me! Working in midtown, I have a few different locations to choose from but recently have bencome a regular at this location. They're very friendly and the manager always welcomes you with a smile! If you aren't a fan of standing in line and waiting 20+ minutes for your salad avoid the lunchtime rush with usually runs from noon until 1:30pm. I often show up around 1:45 to a line of no longer than 2-3 people. read more

Good selection of salads but overpriced. A salad is a salad when it comes down to it, so having to paying close to 12 dollars for a salad is a lot. You can say that you are paying for their specials or unique flavors but just getting a regular salad can cost a lot. They are very effective with their setup, having 2 separate stations, 1 for your salad selection and 1 for chopping. Overall, if it's near where I am or someone wants to go there, I will go. Other than that, I will find another place with more reasonable prices for a salad in NYC. read more
