I love how fresh the ingredients are here, but I am having an issue with the concept of ordering crispy shallots, and receiving TORTILLA STRIPS when I place a pickup order. The first time this happened, I called the store and was told the manager was going to get in contact with me. This was roughly 6 months ago, or less, and they never did. Now tonight, I ordered the same salad I always get with the crispy shallots and AGAIN I get tortilla strips? Why is your staff not educated on what the toppings are for this to happen twice in roughly a six month span. Now, since I am an ingredient household, I am lucky enough to have crispy onions to replace the strips but at what cost? It's not the same. Anyway, food is too expensive for it to be made wrong. read more

I cannot tell you how frustrating it is to place an order through an app and think you are going to pick something up on time, only to get there, not find your order ready, and find out that two of the key items you needed/wanted are not even there. Why sell dressing if you don't have it? Lmao And instead of calling you to let you know or ask you if you would like an alternative, they expect you to act like you are not inconvenienced and just take what they give you when you come in. This is my favorite salad place (not this location, but Chopt in general). There aren't that many in the area, so I drove out of my way to get here today. When I arrived, after my pick up time, I was immediately frustrated when my order wasn't available and I was told someone would be with me in a moment. I was crunched for time; hence, why I placed my order for pickup before I even knew I would arrive. A few minutes later, an employee came down and asked me if I needed help. When I told her I was there for an order I placed through the app, she told me that they were out of the dressing I requested. She said "it would take a really long time for us to get that for you." The way she phrased it made it seem like they were out of dressing for the actual salad, itself, too. She asked if I wanted any other salad dressings. I said no. I am very particular about my dressings. She told me she could refund me and that I didn't need to be there. I left shortly after. My biggest issue is that when you have an account and place a mobile order, they do have your phone number. They could've called me or even texted me to let me know that the items were out of stock. They also still could have and should have put my salad on the shelf for pick-up. They were obviously behind because my salad wasn't even finished and they hadn't even put my bread in a bag. To make matters worse, once I actually did start to eat my salad in the car, I noticed the following: -missing ingredients (THAT I PAID FOR) -multiple avocado pits (after paying an upcharge) -shrimp shells ... ewww -and onion skin Like, why am I paying $20 for this salad? read more

This is one of my favorite local fast food restaurants. The ingredients are very fresh and high quality. The salads are made to order and I have never been disappointed. The portions are generous and I can usually get two meals from each salad. The Kale ceaser with extra chicken breast is generally my go to. Fast, friendly service and a tasty, healthy meal. 5 stars! read more

Today after grocery shopping, my husband and I stopped by Chopt Creative Salad Company for lunch. We ordered two of their warm bowls ,the Chicken Tinga Bowl and the Lemon Crush Bowl. Each bowl was around 600-650 calories, which felt perfectly balanced for a filling yet mindful meal. The food was not only healthy but also full of flavor, and what I really liked is that there are plenty of options to customize your bowl just the way you want it. Overall, a great spot if you're looking for something delicious that doesn't compromise on health. read more

The salad was wonderful, and the customer service was even better! I was greeted by both employees when I walked in, but Ty was the one who helped with my order. I wasn't sure what I wanted, but he was so patient and answered my questions. His kindness and service really made the experience better. The restaurant was clean, and so were the tables for people who wanted to sit and eat. I would definitely stop here again when I'm in the area. read more

I have a petition, please change the name of the dressing from "Mexican Goddess" to AVOCADO or GREEN goddess. The amount of times I have gotten my order wrong because you put Mexican Goddess instead of Mexican Caesar is just unbelievable at this point. I feel like it's just careless, the staff probably just reads "mexican" and they put whichever one they feel like. And yes- they are completely different in taste. This location is a hit or miss 80% of the times they get my order wrong, and I eat here at least once a week or once every two weeks, so that's a big percentage of messing up. Car-side delivery is a big plus but countless of times I just end up having to get off my car and walk inside to get my order because it takes 15+ minutes and I get nothing. Not horrible but also not the most convenient when I have my kids in the car and purposely order here so I don't have to unload the whole family. Good food, good healthy options, I just wish they would be consistent with the quality, portions, and that they would care to read what one is ordering. read more

$13.55 for a make your own salad with chicken. I though chopt was on the expensive side for salads but this is the standard now. Ingredients tasted fresh but didn't not have a wow factor. Place was getting alot of online orders coming through when I was there so it took a little while for them to take my order. read more

My favorite salad place but not this location! Food is great especially when they give you what you pay for! Service no good!

This cute little salad shop is like chipotle for salad eaters. With so many options for greens, toppings and dressings, it takes forever to choose! They even have a smaller sized kids menu. There's something for everyone with paleo, keto, and dairy free choices. The service is great and lots of places to sit. I come here for a healthy lunch in a relaxed environment. read more

This was my first time visiting this restaurant, and I am so glad I was able to check them out today! I think there should be more restaurants that offer healthy options like this. I truly enjoyed my super fresh and crunchy salad. I opted for the make it your own option and if I remember correctly, you get for free toppings, and anything else above four is charged. The restaurant was very very clean and the staff was super kind and helpful especially when it came to picking dressings. The one thing I will share is that the meat is not cooked there and neither is the fish. I'm not sure if the other protein sources are cooked there or not, but it didn't appear to be that any of them are. I opted for a vegan salad, and it did not disappoint! I will definitely be visiting this location again. :-) read more

The salads here I really good. The employees are pleasant to interact with . I normally go in the evening, so I don't know what they are like during lunch time. It seems to be very clean in there and a lot of space if you want to enjoy your food inside. I think the salads are a good value because I always have leftovers for the next day. read more

There were barely any chicken in my bowl. I got ripped off. Service was bad too. Wouldn't recommend this location. read more

Chopt Creative Salad Co. - Cobb Salad - Salad Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

I ordered a pick up order during lunch. Once I got back to work and opened the container it was obvious that when I requested light on the salad dressing it was not. It is basically uneatable, drenched in dressing. I tried calling the restaurant to let them know but no one picked up. Called twice and let it ring until I was disconnected. It was too late for me to walk all the way back before work calls. This isn't the first time but this is the worst I've had. At this point I'm completely done going here. I guess check your orders before you leave, you may need to open the containers to do so. read more

Out and about and stumbled on Chopt. I have not been eating the best(Nope. It is not about me ; it's about the food). Decided on a salad to get back on track. It was a little busy and they probably needed more People. But it did afford me more time time to look at the menu(which can be a minus for someone who is indecisive. But I digress) The People in front of me suggested the Cobb and do I love a good Cobb Salad! They put fresh greens, avocado,eggs and other delectable salad fixings in a bowl with dressing and mixed it all up. The problem was the dressing. The Gentleman making the salad suggested ranch. I should have listened to my gut. Three was no mesmerization(is that a word?!) of my tongue by the interplay of the salad, the mix in's and the dressing. It was bland. Those who know, know I am heavy on seasoning , spices and flavor. I took my salad home and added my own vinaigrette dressing which kicked it up 1000%. I partially blame myself for not choosing the right dressing. Because of that, I will return in the future and partake of the Cobb again. read more

Walked in at 7:40 and they said they were closed. If an establishment says there closing at 8pm They should make sure their employees follow those guidelines. You can't choose to close a store early because you want to go home. read more

Came here for opening a few months back and the food was pretty good. Ordered a custom made salad today with beets, cucumbers, tomatoes, edamame, and chicken. There were maybe 5 tiny pieces of chicken, and the rest just all salad filler. Barely any vegetables. Few beet bites, a few tiny sliced of tomatoes.. Put it on the plate to try and get all the good stuff out - there wasn't much read more

Chopt is far inferior to many other salad chains. They use wayyyyyy too much salad and far too few toppings. When they chop it up, the toppings become nonexistent. A lot of the time they are out of many of their dressings. Also, their salad options are weird. Not a fan! read more

This location recently opened so my sister and I wanted to check it out for lunch. The inside was well decorated, it's a clean look but not sterile and is somewhere you could eat and enjoy the company of friends. Initially we weren't greeted and it took some time before we were acknowledged to give our orders despite other employees being around, I'll chalk that up to maybe it being a busy mobile order rush time so they don't prioritize in person ordering (?) But we ended up ordering the Mexicali vegan and the classic Cobb which were amazing! Definitely think this place is a great addition to Kingstowne! read more

Kale Caesar with warm roasted chicken and extra parm? Yes please! I'd walk to a Chopt this salad is so good to me

I ordered for pick up. I went there when they first opened, but I was disappointed that they didn't even have ranch. By the end of the line I had to get the salad because it was already mixed. Not happy with that visit. I figured I would try it again since it had been awhile. Again disappointed with the salad. It really had no taste and the dressing was not that good. Anyways, I won't be going back to chopped. read more

Came to this new location with my daughter yesterday before going on our shopping spree. I had the Kale Caesar salad with chicken and my daughter had the taco salad. I've always heard about this place but never actually took the time to stop and eat from hear. The portion size is amazing, like i got soo full soo fast that i had to save some for later. My daughter didn't really like her taco salad but that's because she wasn't sure what to expect from it. Another favorite places added to the list!!!!! read more

Delivery beware. Package was left at our units door.... No knock, no call, so we didn't even know it was delivered. The so called 'grilled chicken' we paid additional for on our salads was definitely NOT GRILLED. It tasted like boiled tasteless chicken with stripes painted in it to look grilled. Our advice: 20% tip and delivery fee added up to over $12. Save your money and avoid Chopt. read more

Very good menu and service! The salads were fresh and delicious. Somehow they were out of Caesar dressing our first day there, but the salads were so big and tasty we came back the next day. read more

Have been to this location several times- they are always out of stock of main items (for example, out of all greens minus the romaine). The employee who took my order was prompt/quick, but I was disappointed to see that my romaine was not fresh (discolored and brown on several pieces). The employee also packed the bowl full of the romaine but then proceeded to hold the full bowl against her stomach with the entire side of greens pressed against her very stained shirt .. very unhygienic. To top it off, nothing in my salad was "chopped". My salad was mixed but I was left with 2 inch blocks of feta and whole pita chips (Kebab Cobb). I was also interested in getting a tea/fountain beverage but they were also almost all of of stock, if not close to empty. The cleanliness of this restaurant and the quality of the ingredients needs to improve. read more

The salad was a salad. Yes it looks delicious when being prepared but the taste was just ok. The environment was very peaceful, especially since no one was inside the restaurant.

I'm a fan of this chain, just not this location. I was excited a location closer to me would be opening. The first time I was here, the workers seem to be more attentive to online orders vs in person, despite a long line forming. The second time, we ordered two salads for pickup - a shrimp salad and the chicken tinga. The shrimp was undercooked, to the point we picked them out and trashed. The chicken tinga was missing chicken. I called and spoke to the manager and they said they ran out of chicken. I understand supply chain issues but I paid for a chicken tinga and someone could have let me know when I picked up my food. I'd rather avoid this location and go to another chopt. read more

I've heard so much about this place! I had to give it a try today. First, the patio area is very clean. Loved the outside of the restaurant. I walked in and was greeted immediately. Staff very professional and friendly. Exceptional service!!! The inside of the restaurant was very clean as well. I informed the gentleman who helped me that it was my first time. He gave me a quick overview. I ordered the crispy chicken ranch without the spicy peppers and celery. I added some carrots and croutons. They will add the dressing and mix your salad. I had him to add the dressing and mix my salad. If I was going home I would have had him to mix without dressing because the salad is huge. This way, I can eat some now and save some for later. You may want to consider this as well. The salad was absolutely delicious. The ingredients were fresh and crispy. I loved the chimichurri ranch dressing! Truly enjoyed my salad! I couldn't finish it. It's enough to share. The server asked if I wanted bread, but I declined. Trying to reduce my carbs. I will definitely visit again! Highly recommended!!! read more
