Chopt offers a great option for a fresh salads and wraps. They allow you to pick your own ingredients or one of their specialty options. I love the Cobb salad! I decided to try the wrap but honestly wasn't a fan and regretted not getting my salad. The restaurant has a great sitting in option. I always make this my option for lunch when I'm in the area! read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! For this week's vegetarian/vegan/gluten-free theme, I picked Chopt Creative Salad Co., and I honestly love it. I'm not fully vegetarian or vegan, but I really appreciate having options that feel fresh and not heavy. Every time I go, everything just tastes clean. Nothing feels overly processed or greasy, and I don't leave with that "why did I eat that" feeling. What stands out to me is how easy it is to build something without meat and still feel satisfied. They have plenty of plant-based proteins, grains, and toppings that actually have flavor. It doesn't feel like you're just eating lettuce. I also like that you can customize everything exactly how you want it. I usually order the Farm Bowl (I think that's what it's called) with almonds, apples, sweet potatoes, goat cheese, and chicken. I always get the dressing on the side and swap the goat cheese for tomatoes. The mix of sweet potatoes and apples with the crunch from the almonds is so good. And honestly? It would be just as good without the chicken, which I love because it shows you don't need meat for it to feel filling. The vibe is simple and modern, and it's a good spot for a quick lunch. Service is always splendid! Overall, it's one of my favorite healthier options because I feel energized after eating there instead of sluggish. I'd definitely recommend it if you're looking for something fresh and lighter. read more

I love Chopt and get it all the time. I was feeling adventurous today for lunch and decided to try the Mexican Caesar wrap it grilled chicken. I have to say it wasn't the best. I don't know if I messed it up by getting light dressing but it didn't taste like anything and for $15 I was alive little disappointed in the size of the wrap. I ordered from the app so I didn't interact with anyone but service is always good at Chopt. It's pretty busy at this location for lunch so it's always lively and casual. read more

Tried their kale Caesar and it hit the spot. The kale was actually tender and not too chewy, which I always worry about. Dressing was creamy with just enough garlic, and they added a soft-boiled egg on top that was a nice surprise. Croutons were homemade and crunchy not those dry packaged ones. I added grilled chicken and it was warm and well-seasoned. The staff was quick and polite, and the place felt clean and cozy. They have a little outdoor seating area that's great on a nice day. Would definitely come back to try another salad on the menu. read more

Chopt is one of my favorite healthy choice spots for lunch or dinner in the Summit shopping area on Hwy 280. It's easily accessible and there's lots of free parking. We were enthusiastically greeted by the friendly staff upon entering. We ordered the Kale Caesar Salad with warm chicken and the Classic Cobb salad. Some may think it's a negative, but the chicken isn't really seasoned. Remember, it's a healthy choice! Also, they're always happy to make substitutions for no additional charge if there are things you don't want on a particular salad. For example, I always remove the tomatoes and bacon. There are many toppings from which to choose. Everything is really fresh! Then you have a choice of salad dressing and can request it light, medium or heavy and then your salad is chopped to perfection. There's quite a variety and don't expect them taste like those you buy at a grocery store. There are a few canned beverage options and some self serve lightly sweetened tea, lemonade or raspberry hibiscus juice. This location gets an A+ for fast and friendly service, a tidy service prep area and an overall clean restaurant environment with ample seating inside or on the patio. read more

Very generous with their portions, I got the Cajun salad and it was huge and came with a lot of shrimp, could have easily been split between two people. I would definitely order you get extra dressing because one little container will not be enough. I did takeout and it was ready in about 20 minutes which was not bad. Highly recommend for the salad read more

I wanted a salad yesterday and I was near the Summit so I decided to finally tried Chopt. It took me a few minutes to decide on something, but I went with one of the salads that had fried chicken on it. I got it as it was and only added an egg. I love how they really shake up the salad and throughly mix it. Also, it's a good serving size. I had half of my salad for lunch and the other half for dinner. The ingredients tasted fresh and the salad was delicious! I will definitely be back...probably next week! read more

LOVER of lechuga here lol I mean who doesn't love a great salad ? I've passed by this establishment on multiple occasions ,thinking to myself I need to try them . After experiencing an overcast of salad withdraws ,I finally decided to drag myself in today. Between 280 and vestavia, I was more drawn to this location due to its neighboring counterparts . I walked in without any idea what I would great. I logged my experience but unfortunately yelp doesn't allow long video uploads ,so shad ... I walked in to a bright, beachy filled ,open layout eatery . The dining area was clean with a few families and friends chatting over lunch. I grabbed a menu that was on display to briefly read over the already created salads ,my eyes instantly went to the Santa fe and Cobb. I have an obsession with a tex mex southwestern salad , so obviously I went with the Sante fe ,I LOVE corn . I made some additions , also opted for chopt blend lettuce mix. The salad was fresh with the requested heavy dressing. I ate the entire bowl which says alot . Andre the manager was so sweet and attentive. I came back the following day and service and food was just as great the day before . I will continue to come to the 280 location simply for Andres niceness and delicious salads ! Highly recommend. read more

I visited Chopt the other day. It was okay. Don't get me wrong I love a good salad, but for some reason, I just wasn't impressed with their salads. Maybe because there is too much lettuce and I prefer more toppings or maybe because their lettuce is chopped into such small pieces. I'm not sure what it is. I do know that I love fruit on my salads and when I visited fruit wasn't an option. The other day, I did try one of their warm bowls and I did like this better. The one I ordered was the Harvest Bowl. It has warm grains drizzled with Creamy Lemon Herb dressing and is topped with warm roasted chicken, roasted brussels sprouts & sweet potatoes, marinated kale, and toasted pumpkin seeds with white balsamic vinaigrette. It was good, but to me, it needed something sweet. Maybe some raisins, apple bits, or another type of dried fruit? read more

I love Chopt! The Mexican Caesar salad was absolutely delicious. I love that they mix all of your ingredients in your dressing before putting it in your bowl so that the dressing is evenly distributed. With all of their ingredient choices, the salad possibilities are endless! read more

Atmosphere: Chopt has a bright and clean atmosphere. There are lots of seating options both inside and outside. Service: Ordering was simple, and we got our food right away at checkout. Food: We ordered the Chinese Chicken Bowl with cauliflower rice and the Mediterranean Warm Bowl with grains. Both dishes were pretty bland and not filling. The Chinese Chicken Bowl was dry and would have benefited from being served warmer. The Mediterranean Warm Bowl was just ok and also not that warm as the name suggested. Overall: For the price, our bowls' quality and quantity did not live up to our expectations. This was actually our first time trying the chain, and unfortunately, we weren't impressed. read more

Chopt is a great place to eat, I tried Chopt for the first time last semester and they have gluten free options, vegetarian and vegan options. Their food mostly contains vegetables. I usually order the romaine lettuce, white rice, chicken, avocado, tomatoes, onions, cucumber, and dressing on the side, the bowls are very filling, and you will be full for hours, the service is good, the workers are kind to the customers, the ambiance of the place is very neat, it's definitely a spot for college students as well. The only thing to consider is that it is a bit pricey. read more

I think it's long overdue for Birmingham to have something like Chopt. I was hoping for a Sweet Tomato or the like, but I guess a new buffet style restaurant is unlikely during the pandemic. The restaurant interior is bright and open. Everything looks clean and welcoming. The price is on the higher side but probably reasonable for the location. However, it can get pretty pricey if you make your own! We ordered the Santa Fe and it came with a slice of bread. The salad itself was very good and the portion is definitely enough for the average person. The bread leaves a lot to be desired...it tasted old. Honestly it was a debate between 4 and 5 stars for me but we'll go with the 5 for now! read more

Excellent service and fresh food! It's a quick way to get a healthy meal. I had the Harvest Salad with Cauliflower rice the 1st time, so flavorful. The 2nd time I ordered Tinga Chicken bowl, it has a little kick to it, but again...delicious!! Love that you can also add any extras or make your own. 10 stars for this place! read more

I had a fairly good experience at Chopt. Overall, I would recommend it if you are looking for a convenient and healthy option. The inside was very clean, and the staff was friendly and helpful. I chose the "craft your own" bowl option, which allows you to pick a base, 4 toppings, and a dressing. Additional toppings cost extra, so I made a very simple salad and I enjoyed the meal. However, the salad was definitely not as good or as sustaining as salads I have had from similar establishments like Chop N Fresh. They do have a great drink selection though, including Spindrifts which can be a healthier alternative to soda. Also, I noticed that the ingredients behind the counter had gotten a bit mixed into each other. I'm sure this is very hard for employees to avoid, and it wasn't a big deal to me personally, but if you have specific allergies this would be something to consider! read more

Man, this will most likely be my last time here. For $13 I got a 2/3 full bowl of salad and no bread. I asked if they had bread when it wasn't available and they said they were out when there was a visible basket of bread..... my husband was not offered bread right after me and I had to go back to get it for him. For $13 I can go get a big ass Texas Roadhouse salad enough for two meals, a four-piece roll basket with honey butter, an adult-sized cup, and I reckon that's what I'm doing from now on. The staff were also rude and seemed to even have issues with each other. Y'all need to get in there and treat these employees better Chopt!! read more

Having lived in the northeast for several years, maybe my expectations were set too high. Maybe it was because we came at the grand opening. Maybe it's a combination of the two things. Once we heard that Chopt was opening in Birmingham, I marked the day on my calendar. I was excited to get my chopt on and share the experience with my husband. We arrived around 6 PM, and while the line was long, it moved. I had wanted to try a new salad , but was disappointed that it wasn't available. Boo! So I went with a classic that I have had many times before... the Mexican Caesar: romaine, cheese, tortilla chips, jalapeños, and cased dressing. The salad should be chopped and all of the ingredients should be in small pieces, but once I got home, I realized that was not the case. I had huge pieces of jalapeño in my salad, which basically made the salad inedible since every bite had huge chunks of jalapeño. Take a look at the picture I posted of the pieces of jalapeño I pulled out. I'll give them another try another day, hopefully when they've practiced and perfected the art of doing what the restaurant is named for.... CHOPPED!! read more

Porsha had great response time to greeting me when walking and was very kind while taking my order!

My wife has been raving about Chopt for a while now, so we were definitely going to be coming out here once it opened. I ended up getting one of the warm cauliflower rice bowls, and it was very good. I would get it or another bowl again any time. My wife had a spicy salad and was very disappointed in it. It was hardly chopped at all and had huge pieces of jalapeno in it, which was definitely not good and led to some extremely spicy bites. I love spice, and it was a lot even for me when I tried her salad, and basically swapped plates due to her being unable to finish her meal. Overall, my experience was good, but my wife's was not - which means neither of us are happy with the experience - happy wife, happy life and all, right? We may try it again in the future, but it may be some time. Hopefully the issue was due to it being rush hour and it just having opened. read more

So happy to find another great salad place in Birmingham! Sometimes you're just in the mood to scrape the plaque off your arteries, right? I was a little overwhelmed when I came in due to the amount of options, so even though building your own salad is a possibility, I went with one of the existing salads, the Kale Caesar (I added grilled chicken)! This was a blend of classic romaine, kale, chicken, Parm, croutons, and creame Caesar dressing. All the calorie counts are present on the menu boards, so this place is definitely diet friendly! The salad creator who helped me was very sweet and friendly! They serve up your salad in a bowl, and then combine it with dressing (there is an extra, regular, and lite dressing option - regular was PLENTY, so I might go with lite next time!!) in a large bowl so it is optimally blended. A very cool idea, because there's nothing worse than a bite of salad without any dressing. You don't have that problem at Chopt! Other things I appreciated - they serve baby lettuce chopped small so its very easy to take a bite. This sounds silly maybe, but for me, one of my issues with salad is that it can be hard to eat. The Chopt method makes it very easy. In addition to being perfectly blended so you can get a bit of each element in every bite, the salad was very filling! I wouldn't have believed it. If I hadn't had errands to run after, I would have saved half for later, but I wolfed it down instead because I didn't want it to go to waste. Chopt really optimizes an enjoyable salad with a lot of options for every eater! read more

It isn't because I am mad to do something healthy for an expensed lunch when a Birmingham culinary experience in involved. I was actually excited to try them as a good lunch option down the road. But it really was disappointed. The portion size was good... of the Chopt mix greens that is. Everything else, very poor. Especially for the price. Doing the build your own gets really expensive, really quick. I started adding things that I like and it got up to around $16. When I got my food and started mixing, I was thinking that maybe the add ons in the salad were more significant than the ones one the side. But it wasn't. I got some of their chicken and there probably wasn't a half of a breast worth in there. Walnuts were skimp along with everything else. The flavor was fine. But there was just SO MUCH MIXED GREENS, you couldn't taste anything else. Once I hit a bite with toppings, it was really good. But without, my mouth got tired of chewing blandness. So much potential. But at that price, the disappointment meter was x2 on this meal. I will give them another shot with one of their already selected salads. But it will be a while before I do. read more

Pretty good salads!! I've only had one salad from here, the Santa Fe salad. It was super nice! I enjoyed the size of it, as the toppings were also plentiful. I would have liked extra dressing, however, over all, it's a very filling meal as well as super tasty. My sister also had the Mexican Caesar Salad and she orders this one regularly. She loves this salad, but it too, needs more dressing. However, if you ask, they will provide. I would definitely recommend this place if you are dieting, or if you want something good to eat without feeling guilty LOL, very good place, and very good food for the price. I can't wait to try another salad, but I may be stuck on the Santa Fe! read more

Would definitely recommend! read more

A go to for me. The chicken tinga grain bowl is something I crave. I eat here 1-2x a month, more often when my husband is traveling for work. My girlfriends and I love ordering from here for a cozy girls night in. So many offerings on the menu are wonderful. The dressings really elevate the entire concept. A couple of tips, I highly recommend ordering off the menu over building your own, and substituting or adding a topping or two if you like. They are experts and already have great options on the menu. A lot of people make mistakes with items they like in a build your own, but that aren't very good together. Another pro tip, ask them to try a dressing before dousing your salad in it to make sure you love it! The chimichurri ranch is so good I could drink it. The place has been clean in my experience and service has been great, sometimes they have new employees that aren't as quick but they are always so kind. I love that they support local businesses as much as possible, and enjoy the local sourdough from Birmingham bread works. I've been loving chopt for many years (since long before they came to Birmingham), and somehow never tried the soups until recently?! The tomato soup is completely homemade and outstanding. If you didn't like your salad, you probably ordered the wrong thing! Try something new on your next visit. You can't beat the quality and freshness. I will, quite literally, never order a salad anywhere else. read more

I really enjoyed my visit to Chopt Creative Salad. I met some friends here for quick lunch. I had previously received a tip to look at the menu and get an idea of what I wanted in case it was crowded around lunch time. It was only a small crowd when I went a little after 11. After changing my mind about 50 million times while I was in line, I finally settled on the Chopped Cobb Salad. The customer service was great and the line moved by really quickly. I really enjoyed my salad, along with the bread that they give you (which is optional). They provide a wide range of toppings, but I didn't feel too overwhelmed to pick something. You can also easily customize menu options and tell them what you don't want on your salad. They also have rice bowls, soups and can make anything into a wrap. So I may do that on my next visit. The salad was fresh and it doesn't seem like the bowl is that huge. But once I started eating, I got full quickly. Overall, I really enjoyed my visit there and will probably return again sometime soon. read more

This place caught my eye a couple weeks ago and I was looking forward to getting back over here to try them out. Glad I made it back, this place is legit good. Yes, it's salad, but they do it extremely well. If you question how good they are just check out the line of people waiting to place an order, they are packed out and for good reason. I went with the: MEXICAN CAESAR SALAD Cotija cheese, jalapeno peppers, tortilla chips, romaine and had the SWEET & SMOKY CHIPOTLE VINAIGRETTE (on the side) and MEXICAN GODDESS (on the side as well). Both dressings were really good in their own way and I swapped back and forth between the two. Portions are large and the price point is on par with what you would pay if you go to a sit down restaurant and ordered a salad. Ingredients are fresh and as the name would imply it is a chopped salad. Staff were friendly and did a good job of processing a lot of customers quickly during the lunch rush. I'd for sure return and try some of the other menu items .... really good! read more

I had been dying to try chopt and when my friends wanted somewhere we "could get a salad," I suggested we al try this. It was a Sunday and was super busy with post church traffic. I didn't know I could order ahead but next time, if it's during peak hours, I will do that. The restaurant was very clean as were the bathrooms. They also have the cutest Vulcan themed wallpaper that I obsessed over for a good 20 minutes. There were so many options on what to do with salad. You could of course build your own. They had several types of lettuce/spinach/ and blends so it was nice to know we weren't getting iceberg grossness. All the ingredients were fresh and some even came from local farms. They have several menu salads that all sounded so good. I had the kebab cobb with chicken, but you could also add shawarma chicken. It was basically a Greek salad but better. The dressing was a taziki yogurt based dressing and it fit the salad ingredients perfectly. I liked that the lettuce was chopped up and not chunky, because it made it easier to eat. The salads are also HUGE. I didn't have a warm bowl but two other people in my group did and they looked awesome. I have been raving about this salad place since I went and will certainly be going back very soon. read more

I was eager to try this place because I love salads. However, I suppose my expectations were high or either I ordered something that I just wasn't fond of!

Overall I'd give it another try and get a different item from the menu. read more

Oh. My. Goodness. If I could eat here everyday, I WOULD! This place is not only healthy, but delicious! Staff was super friendly and personable. The entire location is still new so it's really nice dining atmosphere too. I came here with one of my best friends this weekend. Although I really do still want to try their salads, I wanted to try their warm bowls even more! I got the chicken tinga bowl on a bed of whole grains. You got to choose between whole grains and cauliflower rice. Both sound great so it was a tough choice. The chicken tinga bowl. Wow. I don't have words. It was the perfect combination of warm grains, chicken, cheese, avocado, sauce, and crunch from the tortilla. It was a huge portion too, as I only ate half and carried the rest home with me for the next day. To drink, they mainly offerred these healthy drinks I never heard of so I just followed suit with my friends and got the same thing as her LOL! We got the blood orange sanpelligrino.
