    Beet [GF][VEG]
    Desiree D.

    Ordered food to go online. Besides parking being a pain it was quick and easy. I've had experiences in the past where I haven't enjoyed Original Chopshop but I've finally found something that I'd eat again. The beet salad was delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

    Cutie little area.

    The food here is seriously so delicious! This location is so clean & dreamy. I ordered. Bowl & a juice. 10/10. This was one place i actually don't mind having to put my order in myself.

    The healthy juice selection is a nice add to the menu.

    Have been to other locations, but first time in this one. As with others, lots of healthy options including a good array of salads with and without protein. There were three things I really liked about this location that elevated it to my five star rating. First, the location is great in Chandler right near the downtown area with lots of other shopping and places to visit around it. There's a big free public parking garage right around the corner. Second the service here went above and beyond. I was sitting out on the patio, and in addition to bringing my salad out to me, the young lady also and went and got my drink from the self service bar and brought it out to me. Third, this location has an amazing large outdoor seating area that is completely shaded that wraps around the restaurant. Unlike the other chop shop locations, I've been to indoor seating is a bit more limited but way made up for by the outdoor space. I will definitely come back when I'm in the area. A solid choice for lunch.

    Lately have been delightfully impressed with this ChopShop location. I appreciate the fresh, healthy options for bowls, wraps, drinks, etc. it's quick and easy. I usually order through their app for curbside and it's sooo handy for my working days! It's a cheaper price point as well. The place feels casual, and can be very busy!

    Protein Shake and Kids Teriyaki Chicken Bowl

    Fast lunch option I found while on a work trip. For a faster option restaurant I was impressed. Tons of options and healthy ones. The protein shake was good and so was the teriyaki bowl. The service was fast and friendly and you have limited interaction with them because you order on a screen. The atmosphere was nice, cute place with good outdoor seating. Good lunch option if you need something healthy and fast!

    Hot honey and hummus with added broccoli.  Amazing!

    Fantastic spot in downtown chandler. This area is full of bars. This is the one establishment that doesn't serve alcohol. Healthy bowls and sandwiches. I got the hot honey and hummus bowl. It was fantastic. Atmosphere is rustic country charm. It's clean and the AC works perfectly. Friendly service and even the assistant manager jessica stopped by our table and we chatted for 10 minutes about the restaurant. Wish this place had locations in California. How about opening one in Azusa? Azusa needs a place like CHOP SHOP. We left the restaurant not feeling bloated or sluggish. They have four styles of freshly brewed iced tea. The pineapple green tea was so refreshing especially on an Arizona 105 degree day. The more you explore AZ the more you will discover how many foodie type joints are out here. Loved the CHOP SHOP

    Piece of glass. The smoothie was filled with them in the bottom.

    I got a smoothie for myself and my daughter at the Chop Shop in Chandler. My daughter noticed that she shallowed something weird and part of it was stuck on her tongue. The entire bottom of the smoothly was filled with glass pieces. I called the nurse line and waiting for a call back to see if it will cause any issues. But the point of my post is that I returned it and they said 3 other people had the same issue. Yet, they were still taking orders for smoothies. I'm posting this as an fyi for those that are considering getting a smoothie there today. Here's a photo of several pieces of glass. One she removed from her tongue.

    I have been in a few times but I haven't tried the food yet. They seem to have something for everyone but I am always here for the lemonade(s) lol. I love lemonade and theirs is very good. I sometimes will try the seasonal flavor but the classic lemonade is great - sweet but still some tang. The staff are always friendly without being talkative. A lot of the things are self serve with minimal contact. Love the inside of the building. It's super bright, inviting, and beautiful. I love the walls with lots of glass bringing the inside in. There are a lot of seats inside as well as a large patio with seating. I will need to plan a trip to grab a bite to eat!

    I hate this is an hour away from my house. They have so many great options! I would eat here every day if I lived in Chandler. Lots of healthy options. The girls behind the counter were great and it's decorated beautifully. The building has been around since 1919. It was originally a bank and some of the original building like the bank vault door is still in there.

    I ordered their breakfast bowl with beans, eggs and steak. This is what I got.
    Ernest C.

    This is a "breakfast bowl." Garbage. Do not recommend. Looks like Indian street food which checks out since there was no soap in the men's bathroom for their cooks to use.

    Kids Teriyaki Chicken Bowl
    Steven J.

    Pretty yummy! Pricey, but "healthier" fare, which is hard to find in this area. I ordered a "Jacked Up" protein shake, which is a strawberry banana flavor infused with PBJ. I also ordered a kids Teriyaki Chicken bowl (I'm not a kid, but how would DoorDash know?). LOL-- it even came with fruit. Everything was great!

    History of the building
    Diele K.

    My cousin and I wanted a quick lemonade to refresh us and use the restroom. I had no idea the history of this building and was in awe of all the history! The bank door is so cool & loved the photos on the wall. Easily the best ChopShop I've been to for decor alone! The staff were incredibly friendly, and looked like they were serving up great food for those dining in.

We decided to share a meal tonight so started with their Loaded House Salad, which they split for us. We loved this salad! Their tarragon ranch dressing was perfect with the mixed greens, the grape tomatoes, pepitas, and bacon crumbles...such a good salad! We shared their popular short ribs (they charged $2 for plate share) which were cooked to tender perfection and served over a creamy white bean puree. Delicious for sure! We finished with some of their Black Forest Cake which was the bomb! Tender, moist chocolate cake rounds with the best tasting whip that has vanilla bean in it and then some great cherry jam to set it all off. What a great meal!

My last trip here though I had to ask about why the menu had stopped changing as often since we were one of two parties there in the middle of happy hour and there was a large framed picture of a bartender with a bunch of signed notes on the bottom of it beside me at the bar. It turns out that one of the oldest curators and bartenders of the bar and restaurant had passed from a drunk driving incident and I had not known at all! Gosh I was so disappointed in myself that I had ever complained about not having a new menu to try after that...but at the same time it was amazing to hear so many great anecdotes and to learn so much more about him and the history of the bar itself while dining this time. I had a lot of fun times at this bar - including remembering the first time I met that bartender and sharing that memory with the staff that told me their story. They also shared that they would be coming out with a new menu very soon and some of the new items and ideas that would be rolling out so I am also very excited to go back!

(BACON WRAPPED DATES) The kids breakfast was simple, but my kids complained they didn't like the eggs and potatoes because they tasted like nothing, and they were right. So for other kids it's might be just right for them, too, however if your kids have tastebuds, the sweet treats and meatballs do the trick (very garlicky meatballs for me) It was lovely and fun to visit the market afterwards too.

From the moment we arrived, the restaurant had such great vibes. There was also a subtle, almost secretive animal theme throughout the space that added a really cool touch. The hostess and waitstaff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and accommodating. The drinks were good, but the food was definitely the star. The milk bread was absolutely delicious, and the pibil dumplings were also really good. My only complaint is that they only came with three pieces, which felt a little expensive for the portion. The beef tartare was another standout. It was delicious on its own and paired really well with the banana chip, which added a nice contrast in texture and flavor. I would probably skip the white oak grilled skewers, though. They were pretty burnt, and unfortunately, they didn't really stand out to me compared to the other dishes. The ribeye was cooked to absolute perfection. We asked if they could prepare the two halves of the ribeye at different temperatures since my wife prefers her steak closer to medium, and they were more than happy to accommodate us. They even comped our milk bread because it took a little longer than expected to come out, which was a really nice gesture. Overall, an excellent experience from start to finish. Great atmosphere, fantastic service, and some really memorable dishes. Definitely recommend checking this steakhouse out if you're in the Phoenix area!

    We stopped by Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant on a Friday evening around 8 p.m. for dinner…read more Located right across from the mall in Chandler, parking won't be a problem in the free lot that surrounds the restaurant. Ambiance (4/5): Nice-looking restaurant. And a spacious one at that. Once you walk in, there's a wine tasting area. Pass through that, and you'll see a bar area on the right and a sit-down area straight ahead. We ended up sitting at the bar. There were only two seats available, at the end of the bar, where the seating was much lower than the rest of the bar. A bit of an awkward set-up, but I'll take that any day of the week over waiting. Service (2.5/5): The restaurant was packed on a Friday evening. The wait time was an hour and a half which is pretty wild. Luckily, we found the last two seats at the bar. Service was about average. Not terribly friendly, not terribly efficient, but not bad either. They were out of the entree I wanted which was a bit of a bummer. Drinks (4/5): While they have a full bar, Cooper's, as the name indicates, is known for their wine. They even have a wine club. I ended up going with a wine flight where you get to try four different wines. There are some restrictions, but you can pick pretty much most of what you want from their large menu. It was nice to get a mix of wines I was interested in. I love the variety! Food (4.5/5): They start you off with some complimentary warm pretzel bread and butter which is always a nice touch. From there, even though they were out of my first choice, my second choice wasn't too shabby. I went with the chicken picatta which is one of my favorite Italian dishes. Good portion size with three breaded chicken fillets, plus the pasta. The lemon sauce was just right. A filling and delicious meal. My partner in crime had the Caprese flatbread, which I tried... also delicious. The first time I visited Cooper's was in Tampa many years ago. It's great to dine with them again (just try to avoid peak hours if you can)!

Parking: it looks to be severely limited but there is so much more parking to the east we had no problem finding a spot. Cocktails: boozy. :-) We ordered the Wake Up Call sans espresso, plus the brunch punch. I had to ask for an extra shot of cream because drinking so much bourbon & rum on an empty stomach got me a little fuzzy in the head. LOL! Never fear, the wonderful food soaked up the booze, the amount of water I downed helped, AND we walked around the area, as well as visiting the book store next door. Food: caramel roll, caprese omelet, California benedict. 100% delectable. Nothing was left on our plates. We would have licked them off if so many people weren't surrounding us, enjoying their meals. Ha ha! Staff: the ebullient gentleman welcoming us "warned" us about their fresh cinnamon rolls, saying they're large as a head, and though you could eat one alone, you may want to share. He was NOT kidding & yeah, we shared. Our server, Olivia, was so happy and chatty, she was extremely pleasant & attentive. We never felt neglected or ignored. The only hiccup to the visit was seeing some young chickee at another table suck on a vape. Luckily, that was mere minutes before we left, otherwise, we would have snitched on her. ;-)
