Ugh. I got a kale Caesar with chicken from here last night via the app for pick-up. It was good. Decent amounts of stuff in it. So tonight I ordered again through the app - a Classic Cobb with regular everything. When I got it home, it was just dry chopped romaine with like a quarter of an egg chopped up, a few half grape tomatoes, and some very tiny crumbs of cheese. No dressing. Such a waste of money. Will post pic. read more

Chopt Creative Salad Co. - This was reportedly the "Classic Cobb Salad" tonight. It looked like this throughout. - Salad Near Me - Bethesda, Maryland

I really wanted to like Chopped -- fresh salad is my go-to lunch -- but my first visit left me more "meh" than "mmm." The person taking my order wasn't exactly overflowing with friendliness, and when she asked if I wanted light, extra, or heavy dressing, I clearly said light. Somehow, that translated into "Please bury my greens under an avalanche." The dressing wasn't just heavy... it was Olympic-level synchronized swimming heavy. My poor lettuce never stood a chance. I didn't eat it, which basically turned my lunch into a very expensive decoration. It's not that I'm picky -- I just like being able to taste my salad underneath the dressing. Since there are other salad places literally on the same block that get this right, I haven't been back. My taste buds (and wallet) have moved on to greener pastures -- pun absolutely intended. read more

I love Chopt! Such an easy, quick, and healthy lunch place. I usually order online and they are super fast to make it. Probably a little over priced for a salad place but it always tastes fresh and healthy! read more

Fresh Ingredients! I visited Chopt first time (4/18/23). Bethesda Row it's literally next to the Bethesda Trolley Trail entrance on Bethesda Ave. Limited Indoor & Outdoor Seating. I ordered the "Santa Fe" salad (avocado, corn, grape tomatoes, crispy shallots atop romaine lettuce w/Smokey chipotle dressing.) Tasty fresh ingredients. The chipotle dressing much spicier than expected. The spicy flavor overpowered the salad for me. Prompt courteous customer service. See Photos! read more

Salad in a bowl. Show me someone who doesn't offer it. Bread was stale. Mexican chicken soup was good, but comes in a smallish cup, so don't expect to fill up on it. My salad had kale, chicken, quinoa, among other things. Chipotle sauce added some tang. Chopping the components is a nice show, but doesn't explain why the chopping couldn't occur prior to viewing. Tasted good enough, but didn't distinguish itself from every other salad in the neighborhood. The staff was lacking. The man on the register couldn't figure it out, and had to be helped by another staff member. I am looking forward to the shake out. The industry needs to consolidate. read more

I never get tired of Chopt. I could eat their salads everyday. The way they mix the salad to make sure everything is evenly distributed is great and I love that I taste the dressing on everything not just the first layer of salad. read more

Wow this Chopt is nice! I have been to 3 other Chopts and this one has the nicest interior and seating arrangement. The Chopts in Wildwood shopping center and Rockville Congressional Plaza are also really nice, but this one had different seating arrangements. I really liked the booths that provide a lot of privacy. Everything else was about the same as the other Chopts in Rockville Congressional Plaza and Bethesda. The service was good and my salad was delicious. The price was the same too. I love Chopt and will come back to this location anytime! read more

Chopt is a great option for a quick and health lunch or dinner! Process: When you come into Chopt you will start at the far end of the store by the counter. You first let them know which salad you would like of their pre-determined options OR you can make your own salad by selecting lettuce/toppings/protein. Then, your bowl will be transferred to another person who will chop your salad, add salt/pepper (optional), and add dressing. Food: The food is good and there are so many different salad options to try. I personally like the classic Chicken Casear Salad, but some of their seasonal options are good as well. I think the food is good considering the price/speed. Service: I deducted one star for inconsistent service. Sometimes your salad will be so well Chopt and the dressing will be mixed in perfectly. But other times there are people who barely mix in your dressing, which really effects the quality of the salad. I have now started asking for my salad "extra chopped" which usually helps. Seating: There is indoor + outdoor seating. The indoor seating is a little limited, but I have been able to find a seat every time I have been there. You always have the option to order your salad "to go" so you can eat it wherever. Parking: Their is a parking garage underneath Chopt, which is free on weekends. Street parking is very limited. I recommend Chopt as a quick, healthy option for lunch or dinner. read more

There's an ongoing debate in my office about what's better: Chop'T or Sweetgreen. Although Sweetgreen is winning, my team decided to stroll over to the new Chop'T just off of Bethesda Row. After enjoying lunch here, I still think Sweetgreen wins my heart, but I'm still giving Chop'T a four star rating. Here's why: 1) Quality food- Chop'T has flavorful salads and you can eat something seemingly unhealthy like a fried chicken Po Boy salad and still take less of a hit than at Chipotle or other fast casual restaurants. 2) The menu- It's HUGE! You can make your own salad or choose from a variety of already designed for you salads. 3) The space- it's beautiful and there's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. What prevented that fifth star: 1) Lack of customer service- the staff were just not friendly. 2) Poor system- It was unclear to the novice where the line to pay began and end and staff failed to give direction. Maybe one day Chop'T will win our office debate. read more

Terrible experience! Ordered a "Mediterranean Salad" for delivery. Not only did it arrive to me cold and more than 30 minutes late, but it was the WRONG salad. I was sent a "Harvest Salad" -- complete with sweet potatoes and other nonsense that have no business being on top of a salad. How do you work at Chopt and (1) not understand enough about the company's menu to make a dish properly or (2) not understand enough about cuisine to not know that sweet potatoes and pumpkin seeds are not the makings of anything remotely Mediterranean? These jobs are not all that difficult, folks! It shouldn't be hard to do them well! read more

I haven't been particularly pleased with this location in comparison to others. Maybe it's the time I go. The quality just doesn't seem the same. The last time I was here the salad bowl was about 3/4 full...mind you I didn't make any substitutions and actually requested 1 addition of chicken. read more

Salads are fresh and large. Tossing the salad before packaging is GENIUS. Will definitely be going back

There was a live bug crawling around in the middle of my bowl of my salad... It's not a flying bug, no wings... So it didn't just fly into my salad... read more

Is it possible to crave Salads? I think so as I really enjoy handcrafted salads. My go to place is Sweetgreen, as they had a location everywhere when I lived in Boston. When I came home to visit my mother, she introduced me to Chopt. Being a creature of habit I was hesitant to try this new create your own salad place. It was a similar experience to Sweetgreen though. Today, I had a lunch date with my Mother & I decided to try Chopt again. I had the Mediterranean Falafel Bowl that comes with Lemon Tahini Salad Dressing that is Vegan friendly. My Mother who is a Vegan tried the Mexicali Vegan with the Mexican Goddess dressing that she seemed to enjoy. I really like fresh Falafel that is made with the right spices, as Chopt's version definitely met my expectations. If you are in hurry or want to order ahead you can do so on their mobile app. You will have to be a little patient as orders usually take 30 minutes to be ready for pick up. At this location in the Woodmont Avenue restaurants neighborhood, you can sit on the patio with umbrellas while people and dog watching. While we were eating on the patio, one of the employees came outside to check and see if we needed anything. Great customer service. Adaptation is a good thing especially when the food experience is good. Bon appétit! read more

Chop't is one of a few restaurant chains in the DC Area that offer custom and signature salads to go, as well as handmade lemonades and iced teas. All of them are good options. This one I found to have amazing salad but sub-par customer service. As for the pros, I ordered a Mexicali Vegan salad, which comes with avocado, tomatoes, artichokes, black beans, and salsa as well as an amazing Green Goddess dressing. The plant-based fats from the dressing definitely helped me forget that the salad had no dairy in it at all, and gave the crispness of the salad a nice contrast. I also ordered a blueberry lemonade, which was just alright. However, it was cheaper than the bottled beverages at checkout, so definitely order one of the lemonades or teas if you are craving something that isn't water. I did find the salad makers/choppers to be rude at this location. I asked about ingredients in the dressing due to a food allergy I have, and the lady grunted at me and seemed annoyed that I asked, even though an allergic reaction can be a huge liability to the restaurant. I also found the man making my salad to mumble his questions to me about toppings and adding bread. When I asked him to repeat himself, he would just nod at me condescendingly and mumble again. Definitely not the best assets to any restaurant, but I'll still give four stars since they were able to assemble a good salad. read more

Right by the capital crescent trail, this chopt is a great healthy choice for a post-run meal. The harvest bowl is my favorite - it has warm grains drizzled with creamy lemon herb dressing and is topped with warm roasted chicken, roasted brussels sprouts & sweet potatoes, toasted pumpkin seeds, and white balsamic vinaigrette. The booth seating and layout of this location is cool, except when it gets busy and there are people standing in line inches away from you while you're trying to enjoy your food. read more

Best salad place in downtown Bethesda. I am so particular about my salads and chopt always gets my order perfect! I come here at least twice a week and it's always fresh. Highly recommend! read more

Chopt is ok as there are several places right in Bethesda to get salads. They have a nice variety of salads and options for make your own. While the food is good this actual location isn't that great. Everyone that works there seems like they hate their job. They always look upset and work slow. While the convenience of the location will keep me coming back it won't be often as the employees seem like they are not happy. read more

My go-to lunch spot, if you are lucky enough to find a parking space in downtown Bethesda on a time-crunch. I usually create my own salads, because I'm a hungry hippo, and I like to double up on The protein. Their destination salads are great!! I really enjoyed the Southern chicken and the shrimp creole ones. I am happy that they have a revolving menu that caters to seasonal foods. I'm not a big dressing fan, but I usually enjoy the yogurt based ones (tzatziki). It's definitely doable to have a salad with no dressing (yes, I know), because the toppings are already so flavorful. My only complaint is the pastiness of the soba noodles. It was a gluey, unappetizing mess. Never getting a soba bowl again, that's for sure. I'll just stick to the veggie-based options. It's cool though...plenty of stuff to enjoy! read more

Salads are good but very pricey. Plenty of seating indoor and some outside. Nice place for a quick meal. This shop is located in downtown Bethesda Row next to the capital crescent trail. read more

Terrible terrible salad . Nothing is fresh , the avocados were black and lettuce not fresh at all as if the vegetables were in the counter for months . On the top , they barely put proteins . My salad was full of lettuce , and the rest in a tiny quantity ( tomatoes , cucumbers.....) will never eat there again . read more

This place deserves more than 5 Stars ! The customer service is amazing ! Always served with a smile ! I definitely recommend the Mexican Caesar wrap with chicken and Bacon!

Chopt Creative Salad Co. - Mexican Caesar Wrap - Salad Near Me - Bethesda, Maryland

Very good salads with lots of choices of ingredients. My fave is still the Palm Beach which I have every time I want a good salad but not have to plan each ingredient. Customer service is okay - for some reason the cashier is always the weak point at this location. The staff is great up to that point. The cashier always seems to want to be somewhere else rather than where she is. And no one has yet to offer me the included "artisanal" bread. I usually have to ask for it. Then when I get it I wonder why I asked for it. Why does it always have to be stale? read more

Lots of options. Decently quiet atmosphere. Fast service. Nice staff. However I've had better chicken Caesar salads. read more

Horrible experience here. I ordered food and asked the lady to put it in a plate and that I was dining in she replied that they were out of bowls. After checking out, my girlfriend returned with her food in a bowl. Then walked up to the lady at the register who was nice and she asked the staff who had refused to give me the bowl and asked her to bring a bowl and she just no he is not getting a bowl. The staff I'm referring to is a black lady, short hair, just as like her attitude on this evening she is a ugly, you cant miss her. read more

Yummy salads and 30% military discount to boot! The staff have always been friendly to me and I love coming here for a quick bite after a run on the capital crescent trail. read more

The best part is that they offer a military discount- it used to be 50% but I went last week and now apparently it is only a 30% discount but hey still great. They have a lot of delicious options on the menu- chicken tinga and the santorini are two of my favorites. I love their quinoa grain bowls and love that all their ingredients are fresh and healthy. I never would have thought I'd eat raw kale in a salad but somehow they make it delicious. Also, great outdoor seating which is perfect on a nice day. read more

I have been going to Chopt starting in NYC over 12 years ago. The ingredients are always first-rate You can build your own or select from a large number of suggested salads or a combination of both. Their suggested salad are solid, and I would recommend going with the recommended dressing every time. The Bethesda location has consistently good service which is not always the case with this chain. A first choice for me when I want a salad as my entree. read more

Came to this Chop't location for lunch and had a seasonal salad.There was a long line around lunch time however it moved very quickly. My salad was fresh and a good portion size. This is a very average salad. There aren't a ton of frills and the quality at other locations seems to be better. The staff is helpful but you can tell that understandably the lunch rush was getting to them. Like I said, good if you need to pop in and grab something on the fly but I wouldn't go out of my way to get their salads. read more

Delicious salad, but a bit overpriced based on the size. I really like the concept of chopping up the salad - makes it easier to eat. Lots of different options for ingredients and meats for your salad. Quick service, no line when I went on a weeknight. Friendly staff too. read more

This Chop't location leaves a LOT to be desired. As a frequenter of Sweetgreen (the better salad option, I must say), I occasionally try to spice up my lunch options by getting Chop't. Yeah. No. The customer service here is definitely not good. They have an employee who not only doesn't know any of the salads - they tried to make me a Texas Po'boy with crispy onions and kale - they seem confused when you say 'medium dressing.' Like, hello. I say 'medium' at Sweetgreen (any location), and get a decent portion of dressing. Here, I get a drop. When I ask for more, I get a second drop. I kid you not, it would not be enough to dress two leaves of lettuce. You basically have to BEG and PLEA with this specific employee to give you MORE DRESSING. Also, they often forget the accompaniments - like a lemon - that are advertised with said salad. Some other infractions that should be readily addressed - their bread sucks. If you've had Sweetgreen's bread, you KNOW how good it is. This is NOTHING like it. This is a slice of dry, hard, wheat-like bread. It's crap. And then there's the treatment of their avocados. Their avocados are left out of shell, with a FORK sticking out of them. It's horrible. They're exposed to air, all day, out of shell. Sweet green has a better approach to avocado - leave it in the damn half-shell until it's been ordered, and then scoop it out with a damn spoon. NOT A FORK. It's gross what they do. Overall, if you avoid avocado, monitor them closely as hell while making your salad, and aren't afraid to be vocal about what you're entitled to (more dressing, lemon wedge, the correct chicken), etc, you may just make it out alive. read more

Disappointed. Received 2/3rds bowl with a piece of bread stuffed in bowl to make it appear full. The prices go up but portions go down. Mentioned it to manager only to be told that I should send an email to management because that's the new policy. I will be buying my salads elsewhere. read more

Great salads, clean and outside seating! I have been to Chopt 2x this week and love the Key West Jerk Chicken Salad

First time there yesterday and it was tasty. I could almost eat it everyday but it would get expensive. But a lot o choices and seemingly healthier for u than most of the time u go someplace for lunch so that's a win. I gotta get me one of those salad choppers they use too! read more

Had lunch there today, about our third or fourth visit there. Lots of staff walking by, very friendly, doing nothing for customers. Had the summer caprese platter. There was about $1 of food on the platter, and I paid $10 bucks for it. Ice machine didn't work, and I finally had to tell the "cashier" that I was short on time and just had to dip some ice out of the bin for my overpriced lemonade. Bottom line? Overpriced and underserved. This place is a joke. read more

Chopt is a great concept for those who like healthy casual. They have unique finely "chopped salads" with interesting ingredients and combinations, e.g. Mexican, Mediterranean, your choice, etc. In addition to these well-made signature and custom offerings, standard Chopt on Bethesda Avenue has a very responsive staff. For example, on one occasion, they responded instantly to a mistake in a delivery order by instantly replacing it without any bureaucratic folderol. It's especially good for vegans or vegetarians who want an affordable, good tasting experience. read more

Delicious salads made with fresh meat and produce. You can order off their menu, modify or create your own. Sensitive to food allergies, as well. Definitely highly recommend. read more

Chop't on the whole is amazing! This location is terrible. Bethesda Ave. is close to my office, so my boss insists on going to this one. Good luck trying to place an order for pickup. They often mess up our 3 salad order, small things like not mixing in the dressing or leaving out a "chopping." But my most recent experience was so over-the-top terrible that I had to post a review. This past Friday, I called several times between 11:40 am and 12:20 pm, only once did someone pick up the phone. That one time, a woman placed me on hold where I waited for 7 minutes before they hung up. Frustrated, I gave up on calling and went there to order (for my office) in person. While standing in line, I had a clear view of the dullard at the register. I watched as he did nothing when the phone repeatedly rang off the hook. At one point someone who looked to be in management asked what was going on with the phones, the guy just stared at the ringing phone for a moment, looked away, then offered to help a guy waiting to pay. When I got to the register, I asked the guy if he could label the salads. He gave me a blank stare, then looked for a sharpie. He tossed the 3 salads into a bag (no bread, no silverware, no napkins), and made his exasperation known when I asked for a receipt. When I returned to the office, we discovered that my boss's destination salad had the wrong dressing. For the record, 99% of Chop't locations are great... the one on Bethesda Ave falls into the other 1%. It's not worth your time to put up with their nonsense. read more

Employees are incompetent and rude. They can't seem to figure out how to make a salad/wrap, and they move at a snail's pace. I like the food at the other locations, this one just can't seem to figure it out. Don't waste your time (or patience), go to one of the many other salad/sandwich shops nearby. read more
