It's ok, but it's no Diced! I ate here Saturday night and though the salad options are fresh; the selection is a bit weird. The base of the salads are the norm: mixed greens, kale, spinach, etc. IMO, it's all down here from there. For toppings you have things like beets, pickled onions, edamame, and brussel sprouts. I may be old fashioned, but are standard items such as green peppers, red cabbage, and regular onions too basic? Maybe my palate needs to mature. read more

This was my first visit to a Chopt. I have seen a few, I guess they are popping up all over. I was pretty impressed overall. The choices are myriad, It may take you longer to make up your mind what to order than it does to fix the food, which happens very quickly. I decided on one of their specials with wild caught shrimp and an asian theme, and a coconut based dressing. It was very flavorful. They assemble the ingredients, then chop the items and distribute the dressing evenly all over. The prices run from about 8-11 dollars. read more

Really upset at how underwhelming the salads here are. Upon walking in I immediately noticed how open, big, and airy the space is. Nice! They had menus up front with how to order and what you can pick for your salad. They had many options for toppings but none that I was too crazy about. I picked out some standard salad toppings for my salad and my protein was chicken. The young lady helping me out was super nice, patient, and helpful! The salads are a big generous portion and it comes with a piece of bread if you'd like and for around $10-12 I'd say it's fairly reasonable here and there. I will say that I did not really enjoy my salad and for that reason I thought it was just a waste of money. I barely got any grilled chicken, and it was just soooooo bland, dry, and not flavorful. Huge disappointment. The bread was also tasteless and too chewy. I was pretty bummed out because I drove out to North Raleigh for some mediocre salad. Oh well! read more

Recently I heard Steve Ells, the founder of Chipolte, interviewed on a podcast and he talked about how he positioned his chain as a "cash cow" by spending nothing on fixtures and calling the unfinished look Industrial and short staffing the place and putting out a tip jar. Then you spend a lot of time on marketing to give yourself a health halo because you have antibiotic standards and sourcing arrangements and you write on your drink cups in fake cursive and everyone gets tricked. And viola! you can charge $8.50 for a beef burrito and have a huge profit margin. So who can blame Chopt for getting into the act? (other than for their inability to decline a verb). First- decorate the place like a industrial day care. Trendy! Urban! And saves on providing a comfortable chair for your guests. Then festoon the place with a lot of pseudo health branding - the chicken is branded "Firebird", the beef is 'BN Ranch" (recently bought out by scammy Blue Apron), Sea to Table shrimp, the goat cheese is local, they have artisans making the salad dressings. Whatever- there are no specific benefits to the customer in any of this so its just a play to get a health halo so they can overcharge. Which boy they do. I had the beef salad and it was $12 and there wasnt a ton of meat, or flavor. A plain romaine caesar salad is $7.50 for lettuce and cheese. But they call it cotija cheese so you cant tell you are getting ripped off. Basically resign yourself to the fact that you are looking at paying at least $9 for any reasonable dish. And, let not fool ourselves, at the end of the day you are eating in a fast food restaurant (that looks like a day care). They have set up a dizzily large menu, with florid adjectives to hide the fast that this salad you are overpaying for isnt as good as a sit down restaurants. To my mind they have way too many ingredients going on. There seem to be at least 50 and then another dozen dressings. Are they really going to move enough of these items to keep them fresh? Can you really have enough turn over in the millet blend and quinoa cauliflower "rice" so that you dont get spoilage in dishes that are served uncooked. And I dont always wants a Coke- but its just snooty and arriviste not to even offer it. You are trying too hard. Maybe everyone wasnt in the mood for a hibiscus cooler. Just saying. So in sum I wasnt a fan because there didnt seem to be any niche for this place. I am discounting all the fake health marketing. Taza makes a better and cheaper Greek salad. Pho Super 9 is like 2 miles away and they are do better than your $9.50 bon mi. There isnt enough meat in the $12 salad to buy it for that reason. So they only rationale seems to be if you want to think you are living a Goop lifestyle rather than liking the food or value. read more

I've tried this place twice so far even though I was wary of the reviews. It's been great both times. The food tastes amazing and I barely have to wait in line. read more

Really good salads and wraps! Tons of flavor and an easy way to get a healthy meal. Staff was super friendly and helpful too. We will definitely be back! read more

I got the Mexicali with corn instead of cheese. It was delicious. Love the low cal dressings. I know paying $10 for a salad seems like a lot but hey - I think you pay for what you get... nutrition and prep in this case is totally worth it. Why buy yourself a heart attack hamburger fries and soda when you can get all your veggies without any work and that actually taste good? Okay well obviously fast food is always going to be delicious but it's important to eat healthy sometimes and who has time to buy - a corn, tomato, black beans, avocado, heart of palm, and wash them, chop them.... and then find use for the left overs? Definitely coming to this place again. Also the people who worked here were really cool. Only downside? Substitutions. You can't take out an expensive item and get an equal exchange for an expensive item. Removing $1.5 avocado won't take $1.5 off the $5 shrimp you want to add. So figuring out how to make your salad $12 instead of $16 may prove difficult, and while a $16 salad is something you may find in a nice restaurant - the ambiance and delivery to the table is not present here. read more

Chopt Creative Salad Co. - Mexicali with corn instead of cheese - Salad Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Great option of fast food for those who don't want burgers and other greasy options. Ingredients are what I expect for this place, a little limp but better than not being good. It is a bit expensive though and his turns me away most times. It shouldn't be a surprise but they have vegan options, thus why I would recommend this place for people of a vast palette. read more

I absolutely love this place. The Cobb salad is my favorite. My only complaint is sometimes my salad will taste gritty, not sure if the lettuce is not washed enough or if an ingredient is causing it. read more

I had the smoky Santa Cruz. I was very pleased with the salad. It had a ton of flavor, it was a little spicy and filling. The ingredients were fresh and it was a great meal. The salads are around $10, and worth the price. read more

Stop what you're doing and go to Chopt! Ive been waiting for a good salad place like this! Love it! Fresh ingredients! Lots of choices! For the folks (like my husband) who wouldn't be happy with just a salad, you can get any salad in a wrap. read more

I really like Chopt. It was quickly and efficient service, adequately staffed and the restaurant is brand new. I found the ingredients to be fresh and varied and the dressings were amazing. Also, there was a great assortment of drinks, including some probiotic choices which was nice to compliment a healthy salad. Not a negative thing, but unless your children like salad, there aren't alternate choices for kids menu items (I might have missed them if they did have other options). I will be going back often. read more

I've eaten at a bunch of "build your own" salad places and this place didn't have the options I personally wanted. I like to have fruit on my salad and this was more veggies and dried items. They had the basic salad dressings but not an array of vinegarettes like I was hoping for. Additionally, my small build your own was $15. read more

They do not except cash! No sign on the door stating that they don't... If I had known they did not except cash, I would've just gone to Jersey Mike's or chipotle. My family very carefully sent me what they wanted from Chopt so I used my son's card. Did not want to disappoint... read more

Major attitude by the staff! Today before we were asked how much dressing we wanted, they went ahead and put the dressing on. They are in such a rush - for no reason - they do things before they get an answer. We made him remake the salad and it was a half-assed and he gave us major attitude the whole time. This is NOT the first time we've gotten attitude from the staff. It's as if they are upset that they have to make the salads. Sorry, that's your job and the whole concept of this restaurant. We're done with this place. Good salads, but horrible attitudes! I'll make my own at Harris Teeter from now on. read more

This is my first time at Chopt and I was expecting at least a pleasant experience but it's cold chicken and greens with barely any dressing and no flavor. No drinks aside from coke and one bathroom for males and females to share. No cash accepted. I understand the pandemic but the flavor and temp of the food is unrelated. Will not be back. read more

I have continually gone to chopt because I want something healthier and quick for lunch but every time I would get sick afterwards. I have now put two and two together that every time it is after I get chopt. I used to get the Mexican Cesar and I thought it was the Romain making me sick so I switched to kale and nope same problem. This last time my chicken was frozen... thinking they don't use the freshest ingredients yuck. read more

Luv the fresh & healthy salads here! Staff is always friendly & helpful too! Have never been disappointed here whether I got a wrap, salad or soup. Yum!! read more

Disappointed. Paid 10 bucks for a bag of lettuce and overdone chicken. I wouldn't return sadly.

Service is awful and the salad isn't worth the price tag. I stopped by an hour before closing and felt super rushed by the staff. They didn't listen to our requests and felt like I could have made a better salad at home. read more

Loved my salad! Great customer service from Skyler. Would definitely come back for another great salad!

Extremely friendly staff! Delicious food! Exceptionally clean throughout. My new favorite eating spot!! Highly recommend.

I tried Chopt for the first time hoping to be impressed. I ordered the palm beach salad which seemed like it would have good flavor and a variety of toppings. Upon trying my salad I was fairly disappointed. I really wanted to like it because Chopt is a healthy quick option but it was just not tasty. For a 14 dollar salad it was quite bland and after finishing it I was still hungry. I honestly feel like it was money wasted and for a couple more bucks I could've just sat down at a restaurant. read more

Probably shouldn't touch the register with their gloved hands then touch the ingredients to your salad.

We love Chopt!! Thank you to Kansas for your excellent service and great suggestions!! We will definitely be back!

The name of the place is Chopt, not mangled .... the last few times I've been to this location the salads have been mangled with the plastic sweeps inside the prep bowls instead of chopped with the metal blades. As a result the salads come out mushy and mangled. I know it's a shortcut, but it makes for a crappy salad. read more

Ill start with the good tjings: the flavors of the chicken tinga were very good. There was an adequate amount of dressing. I ate in the restaurant and it's clean and bright with practically an outlet at every table. Now the areas that need to improve: portion size. For a 10.99 before taxes, I expected more chicken. I felt that it was a big salad, with tons of greens. Almost too much for me, and the kale had more stems on it than I care for. At home I toss the stems and just eat the leaves. So after half my salad was eaten, felt like there was no more chicken, quinoa or avocado. Another thing is the assembly line. For someone who paid cash, I felt like I had to jump back and forth. If that's the case, I would gave appreciated more direction from the employees. I was left guessing which bowl was mine and didn't know who was helping me. After I paid for my drink I did not get a cup on my tray (probably because I was directed to go back and get my food So it was lost in communication. I also didn't feel very welcomed there as I wasn't greeted though I stood waiting in a very short line. I'm not sure if I would return, though I did feel good after a light lunch. No food coma~ read more

Salads were decent. But their water cups are made for ants. How can we be expected to drink water if the cups are so tiny?! I don't want to hear excuses......I just want the water cups to be at least three times bigger!!!! read more

This mess was nasty and over priced about $12.00 for Salad only. You can eat a complete 3 course meal elsewhere. But I thought I'd give it a try since it was new. I walked in not realizing how expensive the salads were. The croutons were soggy and not crunchy. They did not have normal ingredients, no bell peppers, no regular white or purple onions. I mean come on that's like salad 101. WTH?! oh yeah they had some nasty black smoked onions that no one wants. All I wanted was a normal American garden salad with greens, bell pepper, onions, tomatos, cruotons, chesse, egg, turkey, uh yeah you ain't getting this salad here . They had all the freakin vegetables no one here in the south has ever heard of or cares to eat. Your in the south get some freakin normal vegetables for Pete's sake! Yup, No! won't be going here no more. You can go across the street to Jason's deli for an all you can eat salad bar for about $7.95 and they have the standard normal veggies like onions, bell peppers, mushrooms crunchy croutons oh and it's all you can eat with free Ice cream. read more

1. Overpriced and you can make a better salad from a grocery or convenience store. Tasted very much like a salad from McDonald's, eek.

Decided to pop in & try this new place out on FON, Raleigh! Service was really good, salad yummy, BUT the noise!! Everything echoes with those rafters!! The girl with the broom/dustpan BANGING it like she hates her job. I opted to eat there & between the workers or someone doing loud chopping in back & the BANGING sweeping in the Front! I'll think twice next time & go somewhere else. Bummed! I really wanted to like this place! No Hot Tea! Would be nice in winter! read more

The salads are good but it's just like any other place anymore. Service is sub par. The two upfront that actually work hard are super nice. Only problem is the others stand around and act like they don't see a line. I don't mind waiting when places are busy but when 2 people are ahead of you in line it shouldn't take 20 plus minutes. Poor management? Maybe so but don't plan on this place for a lunch break you could possibly be late back to work read more

So....$40 for 2 salads and a wrap. Food tasted great, loved having LaFarm bread with my salad, and appreciated the "green-ness" (paper straws, reusable bowls, etc). But $40 for 2 salads and a wrap. read more

As of a few weeks ago, Chopt stopped chopping salads to your liking. Now salads are 'kitchen chopped' and are no different than salads from any other restaurant. I understand that the process of chopping salads on the line is slower, but why change what made you original and separated you from the pack? Needless to say, I was very disappointed with my last salad. I'll be heading over to Diced from now on- read more

Definitely enjoy eating here. It feels like the Chipotle for salads. However, the first time I walked in here, the design choice of the interior felt like I was walking into a bathroom. It was more funny than disappointing lol. Food is great though! read more

I love the concept of a salad restaurant where you can eat healthy and accommodate various dietary restrictions. The menu lists specialty salads, some of which change after a few months, or you have the option of creating your own. When you get to the counter, you tell them what you want, and they ask you how fine you want it chopped or if you want it tossed. They chop in front of you. If you are ordering a custom salad, this process can take longer because you have to look at the toppings and what's available. There just seem to be a lot of questions, and this can hold up the line. In addition, it's difficult if you are trying to order two or more salads, say, for an elderly person who is with you and is sitting down at the table. I think it would be better if they listed all options on the menu, they take your order and you pay and then pick it up at the end. That's why I have to give three stars because the ordering process can be much easier. read more

Service was fast & friendly. Food is full of flavorful and fresh. Tons of options, almost overwhelming for an indecisive person like myself. I would go back. read more

I love their salads! Huge portions and more filling than you'd think! My favorites are the Mexican Caesar and the Cobb. I suggest asking for light on the dressing because it can be pretty overwhelming. Friendly staff and beautiful decor! read more

First time visiting chopt this past week. There's too many tasty choices, I had no idea on what to get. I decided to create my own. The people were very friendly and helpful. Lasonya gave the best recommendations for my salad. Myself and a coworker ate in and I decided to get another one to go. Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!!!!! read more

The staff is very rude. The covid precautions make zero sense whatsoever. They make you order at the register so you can't even see what ingredients they have and then you have to pay before they make it, which is unlike any chopt I've ever been to. The exit and entrance need to be switched. I order and paid and still the food took SO long, even though I was the only person there?? I did not get to customize my salad the way I wanted to because the woman at the counter would move on to the next question before I could even read the menu. It was the wrong dressing on 2/3 of my salads. None of the toppings I would normally add because of the way they changed their system. The entrance is now the exit, which makes zero sense. I did not get a say in how much or how little dressing, salt and pepper, and they did not offer me bread. I asked why they did it this way because it is overwhelming and downright frustrating, and he said it was to limit contact points for covid precautions, which I am all about!! However, this was just poor planning all together, and 2/4 of the staff members had their nose out of their mask. So overpriced for an awful experience. read more
