    A solid 4, which kind of lines up with the rating, so I guess that must be about right. I have been to Chopt a couple of times over time, and usually start with a base of one of their salad suggestions and make a few modifications to my liking. There are so many choices that in the world of salads, I would imagine that it would be tough to get bored here. They are usually pretty filling too. The container they come in kind of makes them seem smaller than they actually are, due to it's depth. This Greensboro location is very busy most days at lunch, if you come later, you'll get a less hectic experience. Regardless, they usually are good about keep it tidy. Staff is helpful, about as much as one would need in this case.

    My first time at Chopt and it was pretty good. The place was clean and the workers were friendly. I had the classic cob salad. The ingredients were fresh which i liked. It was good but I think the next time I will try something out of my comfort zone. Give it a try!

    Craft Your Own Salad
    Melody B.

    I love Chopt and can't believe I've never reviewed them before. It's a causal order at the counter (or through the app) place for salads and wraps. This time around I got the Craft Your Own Salad. It can be a little pricey if you order more than the 4 included of their choppings. The place can get crowded at lunchtime so I usually order at least 45 min - an hour ahead on the app. My only complaint is that I ordered my salad through the app to be ready in 45 minutes. They made it early and had it sitting out for 20 minutes before I could pick it up at the pre-scheduled pick up time. I do like when my food is ready when I get somewhere, but 20+ minutes is a little long for it to be sitting on a counter when you want to eat a crisp, cold salad.

    Craft Your Own Salad
    Janis A.

    Yes, sometimes I just need more vegetables in my life! So a stop at Chopt Creative Salad Co. is an easy way to eat healthy on the go. This particular day I met a friend for lunch. We decided to each "craft our own salads" and they couldn't have been more different. I can get exactly what I like and crave on my salad... and stay on my diet. I know, I know, I dislike that word too! Unfortunately, they were playing the loudest reggae music track that I was NOT in the mood for. I could barely here my friend speak. Also, they didn't have any artificial sweetener sugar for my iced tea even when I asked. I'll still Go back though.

    Ordered a salad today for home delivery and the experience was not good. Salad arrived about 1/4 empty and was soaking in salad dressing (I requested medium). If you're ordering for home delivery beware.

    Sweet Apple Orchard Salad (definitely not sweet)
    Laura M.

    It's a counter like Subway, Salsaritas and Chipotle but super healthy and organic. You pick what you want. I always stress at places like this when people are behind me and I don't know what is in those little containers, so I ordered the Sweet Apple Orchard Salad as it comes. No sweetness found. Yes it was very healthy but was it tasty? Not really. But I ate it like a good girl taking her medicine. I do get the point of Chopt and I applaud people who love it. No added sugar, vitamin packed Kale, low calories and bread without butter. Yay. The dining area was basic tables and chairs. It's not a date place. It's not a fun place. It's a place that you can stay on task of eating to survive instead of eating for enjoyment. If you like that kind of thinking, you will LOVE this place!

    Chicken Tinga Bowl
    Zachary F.

    We needed a quick bite to eat tonight and wanted something on the lighter side and Chopt fit the bill perfectly! Located in Friendly Center right across from Mimi's Cafe, we stopped by at what seemed to be the perfect time around 7pm as it wasn't busy at all and plenty of seating available. The nice staff were quick and efficient. A nice menu of already curated bowls and salads, or a create your own menu as well, I opted for the Chicken Tinga Bowl and was delicious! Warm grains topped with braised and shredded chicken, avocado, shredded cheese, tortilla strips, kale, black beans, and the green goddess dressing made for a tasty bite with every spoonful! Only complaint on my end would be I wish the avocado came diced or sliced instead of whole which would make for easier eating. My girlfriend went with the Chinese chicken bowl for her meal with the roasted chicken. She said it was good, but some of the veggies and chicken could have been a little fresher. All in all we will be back to give some other menu options a try!!

    Cauliflower rice "custom bowl"
    Sharon D.

    I wanted to add this spot to my favorites and I will definitely try again as I'm always looking for spots that have low carb, healthy options. I went on a Sunday and there was nobody in the restaurant at the time I went. This usually gives me a red flag but maybe At 1:30 everyone else had already eaten. There were a lot of options and I elected to get a grain bowl with cauliflower rice, kale mix, chicken and a variety of toppings. The portion was extremely generous and the price was more than I would expect to pay at a walk up "fast food" style restaurant. I asked for light dressing but the dressing was completely overwhelming that I didn't eat much of it. I decided to take it home and try eating it the next day by mixing it with some greens from home. This wasn't a salad I enjoyed the day after. For that reason, I give it 3 stars. I want to be able to enjoy the full portion whether it's the same day or day after (especially when you pay over $10 for a salad).

    Mediterranean Bowl

    I normally try to keep an open mind when it comes to trying a restaurant for the first time. We came here on a Saturday night about 7:00. There wasn't anyone else in there accept maybe another couple that just ordered. We needed time to look at the menu but felt a bit rushed. When we finally decided, my husband wanted to add an item the girl was rude and said it was an up charge but wasn't nice about it. It would have been nice if the girl explained how the whole process worked even after we said it was our first time there. I just felt like she wasn't happy to be there. I know it's hard in the works right now. I get it but if you are in the restaurant business and are dealing with the public then you need to at least be respectful. That goes both ways of course. I just felt like our experience was not a good one. The salads were good however. Tasty. We might be back.

    Delicious! Got the ginger miso bowl.. which was good, I'd ask for more sauce next time. The other people in my group really enjoyed what they got! Service was good!

    Size comparison to my hand
    Marie R.

    I like this place! The customization is great and the toppings are endless. I got romaine, corn, green onions, cucumbers and grilled chicken. The dressings are very flavorful and can be mixed. I always get the blue cheese and then something spicy to go with it like Mexican Caesar or some vinaigrette. The way they chop up all the greens and mix the toppings and dressings together is very innovative and every bit of your salad has dressing and is consistent throughout. I spent $12 on the salad but I would say the price is about what you would pay for something like this. I recommend.

    Mexican Caesar
    Renee S.

    This is my new salad go to place. This restaurant is absolutely amazing because there are unlimited salad varieties you can try. I have a salad door dashed to my house at least once a week. The quality and freshness of the ingredients is consistently the same week after week. I love their Mexican Caesar Salad. Caesar dressing with a kick of spice...it is so flavorful. They have something like 40 different dressings and condiments to choose from. The salad I ordered is your typical Caesar and I added grilled chicken, apples, croutons, crushed tortilla chips, dried cranberries, Parmesan cheese complete with a slice of sourdough bread. You can get the dressing on the side or have it added: light, medium or heavy. I get heavy dressing already added and it's perfect. It's not dripping in dressing but it's evenly coated. The to go container is filled to the brim and I honestly think it weighs at least 4lbs! It's heavy! You definitely get your money's worth. This is my go to meal if I want something fresh and healthy. If you're feeling salad, look no more!

The breading was nice and crunchy but there wasn't enough flavor, even with the dip, so I wouldn't order this again.

My husband ordered The Roast Beast panini this time - I had a bite with the au jus and thought it was excellent. I love when restaurants offer mocktails and Melt has a few on their menu. I tried the Blood Orange mocktail and it was unfortunately a bit too heavy on the lime for me. I wouldn't order this again. I find the atmosphere of Melt to be cozy and I love the lighting and decor. The restaurant is on the smaller side and it seems to always have a crowd, so it can get pretty noisy.

I decided to get those last night, and the fish was two good size thick cod filets, fried and breaded perfectly.

And when I said that's not a comfortable or reasonable set up for 5 people and asked if we could push two tables together, she seemed annoyed. Who thinks it's acceptable for a party of 5 to sit someone at the corner point of a 4 top table when there are open tables all around?

The restaurant as a whole was well set up, with multiple types of seating and a large bar area. Decor was well placed and there was enough room to walk through without feeling crowded, despite how busy it was. We will absolutely be back!

    It was amazing. I really enjoyed my vegetable soup. It was really hot and then I had to salad bar…read morewhich had 1 billion things on it. It was so good. The service was really decent. And everything was clean. They were extremely vigilant about the place being clean. The bathrooms were clean too.

    Stopped in for lunch. Ordered the salad bar. Went up and got my plate and went through the line…read more All the lettuce was frozen so I opted for spinach. Added my toppings and dressing and sat down to eat. Very pleased with my meal and the chocolate mousse was excellent. Went for round two and was dismayed to see they had not properly cleaned the tray and had left food particles on it. Not a huge deal because I was putting my food on the plates, but it's the little things. No complaints on food for round 2. Got more mousse and was able to get lettuce this time. An employee had been working on stocking the salad bar while I ate my first plate and continued during my second. While I ate my second serving someone I assume may have been a manager of sorts came out and was giving the employee stocking feedback. I then watched the manager start filling containers by ADDING THE REFILL ON TOP - no rotating, no changing containers, just adding on top. Not acceptable. Seating is and always has been cramped in here. I had to weave around tables to get to my seat. We also saw someone have their sunglasses knocked off their head by someone exiting to the patio because their table was that close to the door. The gentleman picking up trays and plates was smiling and quick. It was nice to see!
