Cool looking Exterior
Devon E.

Probably the only positive (at least to me) to come out of this pandemic, is more restaurants adding the ability to order and pay for their food online and then just pick it up in a contactless fashion in the facility. It has been a safety lifeline, but also very convenient when on the road. My husband and I were on our way to DC and we placed our lunch order with this Chopt in Charlottesville as it was on the way. They provided real time updates, and our food was ready, bagged, and on shelf by the time we arrived. Chopt offers all kind of salads and bowls as well as the ability to make and customize your own creations. You get decent size salad and to-go orders come in a resealable plastic container. My go to is the Asian Crunch Salad (FreeBird grilled chicken, rainbow carrots, broccoli, pickled red onions, crispy shallots, romaine, cabbage & cilantro blend) with Sesame Ginger dressing. I also added edamame because I love them. With each order you have the option for an included slice of bread. It's a nice and bright salad, lots of vegetables, not heavy, and I found easy to eat in the car. My husband likes the Kale Caesar Salad (Parmesan, Homemade croutons, kale & romaine) with Creamy Caesar dressing.

Mexican Ceasar Salad

I went to Chopt to meet a colleague over lunch and to discuss a project. Good thing I got there early enough to be able to order my food before the lunch rush, as they're soooo slow here! When I got there, there was a line of 5 people waiting for pickups and just a few people waiting to order. I was waited on in about 5 minutes and my food was made relatively quickly. I sat down, ate and noticed only one of those 5 in the pickup line left, the others were still waiting. Since I was waiting on my colleague, I watched as it took about 30 minutes for all of them to get their orders and leave. In that amount of time, the line to place an order was backed up to the door and down the front side of the restaurant. They are ridiculously slow here! I ended up having my colleague meet me at Chick Fil A so we could get him lunch and still make a meeting we needed to get to. As for the food... It was just ok. It was definitely fresh and the hot peppers packed decent heat, but the seasonings were lacking big time and it was bland, definitely not worth the $14 I paid for it (without a drink, as I drank water). I've heard mixed reviews about Chopt in general and now that I've experienced it, I won't be going back. I'll stick with Sweetgreen in areas where they have them or find something else altogether.

So I consider myself the type of person that likes to try everything on the menu - especially when it comes to fast casual restaurants like Chopt. HOWEVER, I cannot seem to ever want to order anything EXCEPT the Mexican Caesar salad. I tell you, I get salad cravings over this beauty of a bowl. I like to do a Kale/Romaine mix - kale can be added in at no extra charge - with no protein and a side of included bread. Gets me every. single. time. Now I am sure the other salads are delicious, but there is something so beautiful about the simplicity of this salad with a spicy kick that just had me coming back. So if you want to spice up your Caesar - give this baby a try. Also, Chopt has a pretty great app that I use consistently. They don't deliver at this location but you can put your order in in advance, and just pickup your prepaid salad. It's pretty great! If you want to wait in line, the app also is great because it speeds up the checkout process!

The Orchard Salad
Krista R.

I ordered the Orchard Salad which was lettuce, apples, walnuts, and chicken. This salad is kinda my go to when I'm am craving a good salad out and bout. The salad was huge and I couldn't finish it in one sitting. Kinda nice to get two meals for one of you think about it. I love the fact they asked for dressing amount, light, medium or heavy. I wish more places would when getting salads. Sometimes ppl put way to much and I just ask for my dressing on the side but this is perfect. It was an even balance of lettuce, fruit, cheese, dressing. This will def be my go to place when I need a good salad to hit that salad craving spot.

Cali steak

I hate to do this but it seems different from what I was used to in DC. Definitely a price change and up charges every where you look. That wasn't their business model before. I'm just used to it being better.

Mexicali vegan with the amazing Mexicali sauce on the side
Ilonachka N.

I freaking love this place. I heard an average review from a friend from NY about this place which kept me away until a friend from California visited and wanted a salad. I am right around the corner from the place and wanted to check it out. I am vegetarian so tried both the Mediterranean salad and Mexicali vegan and YUM! Both salads are fantastic and hearty. The Mediterranean has falafel balls and Tahini while the Mexicali has avocado, beans, artichoke hearts and other stuff. I enjoy the Mexicali a bit more since the sauce has a kick and I love me some spicy! Price: the salads are $10 for the Mediterranean and $9 for the Mexicali and they both fill me up. I think the price is fair. Service: super fast and really great. Definitely recommend this spot and will keep visiting!

The salads are good but they don't fill up the bowls all the way to the top like in the pics on their website. I have brought this issue up twice with their support team: the first time they listened, and the second time they still didn't fill my bowl all the way. For the amount of $ they want me to spend on a bowl, it's not worth it anymore.

Kebab Cobb with free bread
Anant D.

AFFORDABILITY: Most of the entrees are around $10. I wouldn't necessarily call it cheap, but the quantity is filling and the variety options is really nice . PARKING: Plenty of parking around Barracks Shopping Center VENUE: Chop't just had its grand opening a few days ago. If you've ever been to a Chopt in DC or NYC, the first thing you will notice is that this Charlottesville Chopt is MASSIVE. Definitely a different experience than you would have if you have been to one in a city. There is seating outside and inside there are several tables and booths as well. Everything is very clean and sleek and the fabric in the booths was really nice too. The only potentially confusing part is that a lot of people may enter from the side door and not the main entrance. From my experience and observations, the restaurant seemed LGBTQ+ and POC friendly. GENERAL: The minute we walked in we were greeted by someone explaining how ordering works and the menu. Another employee also checked up on us while in line and the manager did twice: in line and also while we were dining. Multiple employees came by to pick up our finished dishes while we were dining or to ask if we wanted more free bread. Even while ordering, employees would always ask if we wanted more sauce or our salad chopped more finely. Everyone was super friendly and it was a great first impression to have of the restaurant. How it works is you can make your own salad or choose one of the many preset combinations. They will put the salad materials in a bowl and hand you a ticket (that you later hand to the cashier when you pay) and will then lead you to a chopping station. At the chopping station they slice-and-dice your salad however fine you would like it (don't have to chop it if you don't want) and add the dressing. At the cash register, at least that day, they were giving out free pieces of bread. Again, everyone was super friendly. THE FOOD: I ordered the Kebab Cobb because I love Tzatziki and Pita Chips and Feta in my salads. I got it double chopped (in my opinion, the more chopped the better, I was just too excited to eat to get it even more chopped) and with extra Tzatziki. It was absolutely delicious. Mixed well you would get a little bit of every flavor in every bite, which is the advantage of the chopping. And the flavors were definitely strong. The rich Tazatziki balanced out the spicy peppers really well and the Pita Chips added a nice crunch - a much appreciated change in texture to the rest of the salad. I definitely 100% recommend. My friends also enjoyed their salads, the Smoky Santa Cruz and Spicy Santorini (pictures below) ACCOMODATIONS: You can customize to your heart's content. They have so many different add-ins and options. Just let them know you have food restrictions and they will work with you. OVERALL: I always think when you get to watch your food being made, the experience is heightened. That mantra stayed true at this restaurant. Tasty food, decent price, decent portions, friendly employees. I couldn't ask for much more.

See all

Decent place. Nothing spectacular, but pretty good food. Cheap place, but there a definitely better bargains around.

This is the most amazing food! So down to earth, yet sophisticated food. The Notorious PIG is not…read moreto be missed! Their soups are again, delicious and elevated above many restaurants in the area. Staff are friendly and courteous. As a former Seattleite, I consider myself to be a serious coffee critic, and lover. They know how to make a wicked latte! Some of the best in Charlottesville. My only critique is that I wish they still had inside seating, too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer. But that doesn't stop me from getting my food to go and making a mess of myself on the way home. LOL!

What do I love most about Ivy Provision's? That they remind me of home in Virginia Beach decades…read moreago when TASTE Unlimited first opened. Better yet I respect the overall operation after a single visit and know they have their act together. Ivy Provisions is located just outside UVA grounds make it very convenient for this HOO Dad to check out the first time. Of course I looked at their reviews, menu and photos of sandwiches to properly vet. I was astonished and made this a must stop. I caught them at a good time on a weekday before close and better yet knew they were featuring lobster rolls on the Ivy Provisions Instagram feed. Parking was easy in their own lot. The non commercialized building was a welcome site. This is the one and only Ivy Provisions. Grab a bag of chips, salad or treat with a bottle drink as you head to the counter of Ivy's cozy space. The young gentleman was friendly and efficient with answering a few questions. My wife ordered the Gobbfather which is a Turkey Melt on white. I ordered the lobster roll special. Seating is all outdoors on the patio. Food orders are prepared and sent out in a bag through the window, you will find utensils and napkins in this location. The area was clean. The restroom is gender neutral and was also clean with proper supplies. My wife enjoyed her turkey melt and found it so big she could not finish. My lobster roll I had no problem dusting off. It was a beautiful roll with fresh Maine lobster and soft roll. Total home run. Find me back at Ivy Provisions the next time in Charlottesville. A full 5 stars and job well done all around.
