Don't get me wrong, Chopt is my go-to salad place. In fact, it used to be a frequent visit - but it's become very inconsistent and, honestly, I dread coming in. Although (most) of the employees are nice and welcoming, it doesn't take away the fact that they don't know what they're doing. Every time I come in, it's a different error. I get the same order, yet every person I seem to talk to has no idea what I'm talking about or is adamant they don't sell it anymore. (Weird, they had a card stack of salad recipes so they couldn't just check that out?) I had one girl try to argue with me about it being an actual thing they sold... The usual $12 salad gets the occasional $19(!?) price tag... it's so bizarre. I feel like they need to be trained more thoroughly on the versions they sell. And maybe understand the difference between a create-your-own salad and an already-created salad since that's a steep price difference. read more

Amazing salads and clean atmosphere! I wish this place was all over the United States! It was so good!!!

To start...I hate salads...just not my thing. But this place has found a way to make even me give it four stars. I live their wraps, low calorie, full of veggies, but flavored perfectly. I like the chicken with some fried shallots, but if someone like myself can like it, the id imagine salad fans would like it even more read more

Love this place. I used to work near another location and was happy to pass by on a road trip. The staff were friendly and fast. The food was just as good as the one by my work. I love how they offer a vegan option. Quick, easy, and delicious. What more can you ask for? read more

Great big delicious salads with the freshest of veggies! Great service and very clean. We love it!

Awesome portion sizes for the price. Most of the menu items can be modified to meet dietary needs or allergy's! I typically get the Chinese chicken warm bowl but I did try one of the seasonal items this time (blissful harvest I think). Soooo GOOD. Service is always friendly & prompt. I've never had a negative experience here. I usually am able to make my salad last for two meals which is so nice for the price you pay. read more

I had heard very good things about this place and they did not disappoint. The menu can be a little overwhelming but everything looks good! I was very happy with my selection and already know what I will get next time. I believe that you get a lot for the price. I compare it to the Coldstone of salads!! The atmosphere and ambiance of the restaurant was amazing and I loved being there. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the restaurant was very clean. I will be back again and if I have one knock it would be the lack of drink selections. read more

Okay, I am SO disappointed in myself for not trying this place much sooner! Go ahead & get someone to start driving you here as you read this review. As soon as I walked in, I was already impressed. The interior is way more spacious & sophisticated than I would've thought. There are booths in little nooks for intimate seating, tables on the other side with outlets & plenty of workspace, larger table for groups in the middle--they've got it all. It's a place you want to hang out at because it's so inviting, and that's without even taking the food itself into consideration yet! There was quite a line when I walked in on a Thursday at lunchtime. I thought this would buy me some time to decide what I wanted, but it moved so quick with all of the staff they had that I didn't get a chance to read through the menu! I told my "chopper" that it was my first time, so I wanted to build a custom salad but wasn't sure where to start. She was more than pleasant and helpful to explain the simple process. I chose my add-ins first, then the salad base, then the dressing (Mexican Goddess is wonderful!) I love that they are patient with you & considerate of the details, such as listing each of my options that even contained the word "onion" when I asked for them (pickled red onions added a perfect kick) or asking if I wanted light, regular, or heavy dressing. I kind of regret passing up the bread I was offered so I could have given it a try. Once I got to the end of the counter I paid about $12 for my salad & a drink. Drink options were pretty much between the complimentary infused water by the front, sweet tea, hibiscus refresher (what I chose), or lemonade if you don't get something pre-packaged in the cooler. The way they chop the salad to combine all of your flavors together is what makes it supreme. Everything was beyond fresh, local (!!!), and totally customizable to ensure you get exactly what you want. I REALLY wish there was a location near me, but this will be a must-stop anytime I see one while on travel. I went through and read all of the reviews below 4 stars because while some places can be overrated, this is not one of them & I don't understand how someone could compare this salad to some of the other places I saw. This is seriously one of the best salad spots out there!! read more

Chopt Creative Salad Co. - Salad Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

Whoever decided to put this restaurant in the Forum is a marketing genius. Chopt caters to the uber healthy community that is Wilmington, and by putting it near boutique shops and gyms they pretty much nailed their market. That being said, this place is amazing. The decor is reminiscent of a Swedish vibe- clean lines and pops of color. The staff are super friendly and helpful in navigating the menu options, which is great, because there are a lot of choices. You can do menu based salads, you can make your own creation, you can choose a noodle bowl...it's a bit overwhelming at first so having menus by the line is great. Speaking of lines, don't let the line fool you. It moves very efficiently. Once you choose your creation, you have the option of making as many substitutions or additions that you'd like. Summer tomatoes? Yes please! Once your bowl is created you meet a "chopper" who then literally chops your salad and adds their homemade dressing. There's a recommended dressing but you can choose any of their options. They even ask you if you'd like more or less dressing. The whole process is highly customized, right down to how much you'd like your salad chopped. The end result is a super fresh, delicious tasting salad that you can either get to go or enjoy inside or outside. I've had the Mexican Caesar and the Kebab Cobb and have really enjoyed both of them. You can pick up a kumbacha or flavored tea and they also offer organic chips. It's a little pricey but dang, it's a good salad. read more

Food is always so amazing!! The service is always good and they make the food in such a short amount of time!

This place is absolutely fantastic. My wife and I frequent Chopt weekly. The food is extremely consistent, fresh, and scrumptious. I typically go for the Mexican Caesar, but have tried almost everything on the menu and they are all great. In addition to the wonderful food, the staff is extremely friendly and efficient with preparing each order. Terry is a fantastic person and clearly takes pride in whatever he is doing. Seems like a very happy environment to work in, which translates to positive customer experiences as well. Cannot say enough good things about this place! read more

My daughter and I have been twice, and we are HOOKED! Everything is so fresh and the employees are patient and helpful. They give generous portions that leave you very satisfied. Delicious and healthy...the best combo! We will be back again! Please, dont change a thing Chopt...you're absolutely perfect! read more

Fresh ingredients! Everything tasted amazing. We both tried different salads, I don't think you can go wrong with any

Great salad experiences every time. I always create my own. It's not the cheapest but the price is worth it in my opinion. Love the lemon tahini dressing! Clean bathroom and great service. read more

Overpriced, nominal ingredients other than lettuce. Definitely not a place I'd visit again.

I usually love this place and have never been disappointed before today. I got a cobb salad and added a couple things to it as well. The chicken in the salad was most definitely freezer burnt. It was all I could taste. I get they may have had to change a couple protocol due to COVID, but this is just really unacceptable. I had to pick all the chicken out and throw it away. I do not think I will be going back here anytime soon. read more

Let me tell y'all something! This place ! This flipping place HAS HAD HAVE the best salad I've ever had! They Mexican Cesar salad ! Is to die for !!! Omg, typing this is making me want to go back ! It's soooo good ! *add shrimp and avocado read more

Have been wanting to try this place but also thought it seemed overpriced. Finally did and wow this salad is HUGE! Everything was made correctly & I can see myself paying for a salad this size again. If you go I recommend the Mexican Caesar dressing! So good! read more

Paid $15+ for an OK salad, lemonade (they don't have fountain drinks) and no WiFi. Probably won't come back, and if I do I guess I'll try something where chicken is already included in the price. read more

This place makes amazing and consistent food. I love the wraps and warm grain / salad bowls. Mediterranean is my current favorite bowl. Healthy and fast. Always a good choice for lunch. Delivers on door dash too. read more

I really like the salads here. If I get dressing on the side I can easily get two meals out of one order. Salad keeps better undressed. I like the bread too, but they are a lil stingy with that. read more

Love this place. Modern interior. Perfect for a light healthy lunch. Tons of customizable salad options. Mexi-cali wrap is my favorite. I come here for lunch often every time I'm in Wilmington for work. read more

ordered the mexican destination salad. Pic online looked amazing w/ all these great toppings. got home & it was literally just lettuce. None of the toppings pictured at all. Found 1 piece of chicken in it but literally nothing else. Was really irritated & don't understand how it went so wrong. Usually like this place but will never get takeout again without checking. read more

Ordered pick up. Food was nicely wrapped up and the restaurant looks clean and lovely. Food is healthy so highly recommend you go there.

I get the avo-keto salad every time and "chop" it down before I know I'm at the bottom of the bowl. Delicious.

This was our first visit to Chopt and now we plan to be regulars! I had the Warm Harvest Bowl, which was amazing, and my wife had the Warm Chicken Tinga Bowl. We are so happy that we have found a healthier food option here in town! The staff is amazing! They are very helpful and friendly! My wife and I will be returning soon! Oh, come hungry, they give you excellent portions for the price. read more

I have seen influencers posting about Chopt before - i knew i needed to try it now that i finally had the chance! The ingredients tasted so fresh and the concept of having the finely "chopt" lettuce and toppings mixed together for me was my favorite part! Hoping to see a Chopt in Cincinnati eventually! read more

We had such a fun time here today! There are multiple choices of salads with fun names already made. I appreciated how they had them labeled as 'light' or 'classics', along with other headings. It made deciding what to choose a little bit easier. You could also make your own salad as well, but that seemed a little overwhelming for me today. (So many choices!) I chose the palm beach, which was light and healthy, but still filling. Don't let the fact that it's a salad fool you-the salad is huge, and I was definitely full after eating! The line moves very quickly. The first worker will take your order, pile everything in a bowl, and then hand you your ticket (which you use to pay). Then the second worker takes your salad, dumps it on a cutting board, where he chops it, mixes it with your dressing, and then places it back in your salad bowl. The whole process is very entertaining to watch! The chopper guy (ha) was very personable-he talked about his favorite salad, and even let me keep my dressing on the side. When you check out, you can also get some complimentary bread and a drink. I just got water, and I loved the station that had the cucumber/lemon water. It was so refreshing! The whole restaurant is open, light, airy, and clean- I loved the atmosphere inside. I personally think that Chopt being in this shopping center, with yoga and pure barre locations, as well as cute boutiques, is an amazing fit. The salads are very reasonably priced-especially considering I had so much that I had leftovers! I cannot wait until we come back here! read more

First time having a Chopt salad and wow. Absolutely delicious, only a chicken Caesar salad but the chicken was great. Also a great price for a the size of the salad! Cant wait to go back. read more

I went to Chopt today for the first time! On a Friday afternoon in a really busy part of town and it was great! We walked in along with many people and it was wide open and airy. A light feeling to it, it was organized and easy to tell where it was you were supposed to go next. You got in line, they gave you a menu and you could look up and see the menu- or read the large one detailing all the salads. You stand in line- the line moved very, very quickly. When you get up to the front you can pick out a salad from the menu or from the board you can modify it without any recrimination. You can add extra this or extra that, it's all very neat and organized. They use measuring cups to measure everything. They put all the ingredients in and then they move you to the next part of the line and there they dump the whole salad back out and then they chop it. They make it all nice and small- to whatever Size it is you want, medium size or extra small - they'll chop it till it's next to nothing! tThey put it back in the bowl and they add the salad dressing- they spin it around and then they give it to you. I would make sure you add extra salad dressing because the first go-around that they put on there isn't really very much. they then asked if it's to go or to stay. I got mine to go go that way I had a lid because it look like a substantial salad and I'm glad I did! it was excellent- they give you a complimentary piece of bread to go with your salad if you want it. I just had water. it's a very clean place. they have indoor and outdoor seating . I would suggest you give it a try! read more

Great salads! Great atmosphere. Love the modern decor. Super friendly and courteous staff!

I wanted to love this place, but hate that everything is an additional charge. Unlike Cava where you can create your own bowl for one price, they charged per ingredient. Didn't want to end up with a $30 dollar salad so I selected a pre made one and it was just OK. Rice was hard and flavor was bland. Also felt the staff was not very friendly. Should have gone with a known business. read more

Updating my review to 3 stars since they offered to send a gift card. I just don't get over to that side of town often and there are other businesses I'd rather visit when I do. read more

Great place for salad lovers. Great concept. Clean, reasonably priced. Not sure if I would return. I would have to be in the mood for salad to come back. read more

Have heard great things about this place and know I understand. Also, I get where the name comes from (you will too when you come). Wonderful variety of really fresh and delicious items; you can go with one of their featured salads (or such) or go crazy by creating your own. This being the first time, I elected to go with their Summer Picnic Salad and was not disappointed. Watching the ingredients go together and then be prepared (I'm not giving it away, you'll just have to go yourself) was entertaining and the friendliness of the crew there has made me realize that there are places where customer service is just that. The seating is comfortable and overall this has become one of my new favorites for whenever we go to the movies at Regal Cinemas Mayfaire 16 (literally just across Military Cutoff Road). read more

Located in the forums in Wilmington. It's a nice addition and I like the concept. Once you enter go to the left where the wall menu and start there. I wish there was a little bit of better direction on where and how to order. Clean and fresh food. They even make their dressings. They basically make the salad and chop it right in front of you. It was a bit more expensive but you get great ingredients. So I like these choices and options for more of the healthier folks! It wasn't life altering by any means but a good alternative for sure. I would try it for sure! There is seating inside and a small outdoor seating area too. Very casual too! Plenty of parking! read more

Y'all.... I e wanted a salad for two days but not just any salad so I decided to try the new Chopt! OMG it's amazing! The environment is very sleek and sophisticated just beautiful. Service was awesome. They walked me though how to order and let me taste a couple of dressings. Everything is fresh. They're not skimpy on their toppings. I did a made your own thing. Romaine egg tomato cheese onion bacon with goddess dressing. The also have fruit infused water which was perfect. The salad is huge.... I'll be having for dinner tonight too! Hands down the best salad! read more
