I wanted to give chopt another chance and this time it was much better! I wanted something a bit heartier so I went with the warm chicken Tinga bowl. There was a base of rice and quinoa, black beans, scallions, kale and chicken. The chicken was mostly white meat and well seasoned. It was a decent amount of all of the ingredients for $14. There are drinks in the cooler and fresh juices. They also offer water cups and ice that are complementary. They were very busy with the lunchtime crowd. It was super hot the day we visited so the air conditioning that day was struggling but they also have lots of outdoor seating options too. If you opt for take out there's spots right in front so you can grab you food and go. read more

Great tasting fresh food. Service was outstanding. I loved my beet chicken wrap. So delicious. We also split a mixed greens salad. I feel like I will live forever now. The music was reggae. Playful and upbeat. read more

Ordered pickup. A couple of salads and a wrap with soup. Think the salads were ok but the fact that there were those pieces of romaine that were turning red and those other pieces with browning stems was unappetizing as I had to be constantly picking those pieces out. The chicken Caesar was pretty bland but that could have been that I didn't put enough dressing. But I do think it was a factor of the chicken being under seasoned when cooked. The chicken Caesar wrap had more croutons than the chicken Caesar salad. Was a little odd - while not a big deal, will say it was those hard crunchy pieces opposed to those bigger softer ones that add just a little texture. Tomato soup was good but a tad salty. More of a personal opinion but they give you a slice of bread that is about 1/2 center meter thick. Seems kinda pointless and cheap given asking 40 bucks for the 3 orders. Inside looked nice. But as I said, just did pickup. read more

Ordered a crispy chicken ranch salad. Came without chicken. So basically just an expensive bowl of lettuce and ranch.

While in Princeton for a business meeting I stopped into Chopt for lunch and had a very good experience. The food was very good and the staff was helpful and very friendly. I will definitely be back next time I am in the area. read more

Only people there at 11:30 am. Person making salads basically ignored us and continued making delivery/takeout. Left and went elsewhere. Good way to lose business. read more

Great diverse menu. Friendly staff. Lots of good options of combos or self create. Delicious sauces and fresh veggies. Go check it out.

Service is lackluster. The cleanliness is so bad. Takes for ever to do anything. The inefficiency reeks.

They're doing things great again :) I like them - pretty consistent salads . I usually order the Mediterranean warm green salad with falafel. read more

First thing is to fire your entire staff that waited on me. I came to your establishment to get a salad and I stood there like I was invisible. No greeting at all. The staff had no interest in waiting on me. Finally one of the half asleep workers came over to me. Totally had no interest in me as a customer. I turned around and walked out. Never again. Avoid at all cost!!!!! read more

Love their salads but don't order for pickup. You'd think it would be quicker but tell me why it took 15 minutes over the pickup time to be ready. I ordered 45 minutes in advance. It's a salad with zero cooking involved. If you go in they make it instantly for you. It's kind of disappointing to be sitting in the store for 30 minutes while they stand around and do everything else until your exact pickup time to make the order. It's okay to make it a bit earlier yall. The pickup time should be the latest time I'm walking out with my salad, not when you're making it, no? I guess they noticed I was waiting a long time so they rushed my order and barely chopped it (chicken was left in huge cubes) and they forgot to add my bread and utensils which I added to the order. When I went back to ask for it, they seemed annoyed at me for noticing... Pretty disappointing. I feel like there has to be a better system for a quicker pickup experience. Also-- found a hair in it half way into eating. :( For a $17 salad it's just not worth it sadly. read more

Kristen is the best! The store was super clean and I got my food really fast! All of the people working were really nice.

Omg this place! I LOVE the mexi-cali vegan salad! Hearts of Palm are my favorite! They have SO many options for toppings that they call Choppings! So adorable. 10 out of 10! The manager Silvia is super friendly. read more

I am in between giving them 3 or 4 stars so I am giving them 4 until I visit in person. I ordered take out which was my first experience with this eatery. I really liked how I was able to customize my salad. I should have asked for the chicken and the falafel on the side so I could have warmed them up separately in my airfryer and hopefully the falafel wouldn't of been so chopped up. The falafel was like pieces of mush all over the salad and it over powered each bite. Like their name, they CHOP everything. I couldn't locate any Brussel sprouts throughout my salad. Couldn't find any cucumbers and found one tomato at the bottom. I found hints of broccoli but it appeared as though they may have chopped one tiny broccoli up and sprinkled it throughout the salad making it hard to identify and taste. The salad bowl is super compressed when you receive it. I had two normal bowls worth of salad for dinner and I still have about a bowl and a half left for dinner tonight. When I was placing my order (since I have never been in person to see how they put the salads together) I was envisioning more of a layered salad where my items would be just placed one on top of each other and not necessarily mixed. I figured I would do the mixing myself. That way I can see what I have and be able to go for what I want to taste next. I chose the sesame ginger dressing which was very tastey. My friend chose a chipotle dressing and it pretty much tasted like hot sauce. Overall, I think I need to go in person to be able to truly rate this place. I just felt an obligation to write this review for those who may have never been in person and are ordering delivery for the first time. read more

the food was good however I ordered the Cobb salad that is supposed to have 60g of protein according to the website. the salad I received had maybe 6 chunks of chicken in it and one crushed up egg. this is not 60g of protein, which is pretty disappointing. but tasted fine read more

Salad specialists seem to come and go much like the breakfast cereal only storefronts that metastasized about five years ago but I have to admit that I dig Chopt. First of all it's clean bordering on immaculate and I didn't have to play the "guess the protein" game where normal ingredients are gratuitously renamed for maximum on-trend affect. My Spicy Sonoma Caesar was fresh, delicious and ample... meaning... I wasn't starving 20 minutes later and escaped without third degree burns on the roof of my mouth. More than that is overkill. An easy five stars. read more

Jackson was really nice he served me a nice bowl.the inside and outside of the place was clean

Well.. went there today for salad. Salads were fresh-- however the staff seemed sullen, not welcoming, not smiling, didn't know where items were, hesitant to share the build your own salad process.. couldn't understand why. They didn't mix my salad afterward, dressing was sparse ( not at my request) tried to cheer them up by asking about their day or how they were feeling in general-- couldn't even squeeze out a smile .. not sure. Was it the weather? Why so sad? read more

Wow! Super generous portions! I got the vegan crunch salad and was shocked when I picked it up -- it was huge! With all that goodness (crunchy chick peas, avocado, sweet potato), I definitely was satisfied until dinner. A little pricy for an every day lunch pick up, but definitely good for occasional meals! I also want to shout out their online order system -- my order was ready exactly when it said it would be, with ample text notifications making sure that I knew it was in process. No wondering if something went into cyberspace -- you can be sure they've got you! read more

I LOVED MY FOOD! I ordered the crispy chicken ranch salad and it was super good. I don't live in the area but I came to visit family and they recommended I come here. I came with my girlfriend and we had a wonderful time. Overall 10/10 experience and would recommend to anyone in the area. The workers were kind and checked up on us multiple times. For anyone looking for a hearty and refreshing salad I would totally recommend the crispy chicken ranch salad. read more

For a fast salad place, this place was so good! The guy who took my order was lovely (I really should've gotten his name), because he was so patient and chill with my choppy ordering and questions since it was my first time. I ended up creating my own salad, and I said I wanted a dressing that was a little spicy but not too bold, and the guy recommended the Mexican caesar dressing which was right up my alley. The salad bowl is also large and filling, and I got chicken tinga on the side which was good for 'fast' chicken. I'm so glad it's on my way home from work, because it's going to be a consistent healthy meal option for me in the future. read more

Ok this is for delivery only. I found out about this place from my job. They ordered delivery - and said that " yes the salads are expensive but they are sooo good" I ended up ordered delivery today via their website. It directs you to DoorDash.com . Make an account and voilá--- your order is in the works. Kinda like an Uber - but for your food to be delivered lol. If you don't mind spending a little money for your salad ... and maybe delivery then this is the place for you I ordered the kale Caesar salad with grilled chicken. Pretty decent portion- actually a lot. Everything was " Chopt" :) ... but it was sooo fresh . I even liked that the chicken was chopped . You can order dressing on side if you want . Salad was like 9-10 bucks ... delivery is extra I look forward to ordering salads from here again! ~~~~~~~~ So we ordered again .... this time I decided to try the chicken tikka salad with the mexican. goddess dressing. It was REALLY good . It's not for people who don't like a lil spicy They did mess up on the order - gave a salad instead of the same thing but in a wrap. When I called - staff apologized and rectified it by having staff come within 20mins . To top it off- the cherry on top was that my Friend got a " brownie" inside with her wrap. AWESOME.... I'm now upping 4 to 5 stars for service and quality of food!!! Thanx CHOPT!!! read more

Good salads, clean place. Outdoor seating is also very nice. Parking is convenient too.

Chopt location in Princeton is a gem. I used to walk pass Chopt because I was told that it's an overpriced restaurant. One day I decided to visit and see what comes with the price. As soon as you walk into Chopt you see that trendy simplistic interior that truly pleases your eye. If you walk closer to registers you have a chalk board that tells you where the produce came from for the week which I believe is a very cool feature to this franchise. I believe you,as a customer, have the right to know where your foods come from and also let's you know that it's fresh. You have a choice of a cold as well as warm salad bowl! It has a huge variety of veggies and greens. It would be a heaven for a vegetarian. Lines are short and staff is very friendly and professional. After grabbing a bowl from the register I noticed that they have FILTERED water stand available for anyone to grab. This is a rare find because most restaurants serve tap water that taste terrible. When it comes to food it tastes delicious. The amount of food they give you can be shared between two people easily. Thank you for reading this and I hope you find this helpful. read more

I would have to say this is probably the best salad shop I have ever tried. Coming from someone who eats a lot of fast food, I can say that I have thoroughly enjoyed my meal every time that I have visited. The most recent time I visited, I brought a friend. She is also not a major salad eater, and she absolutely loved her meal. We came in to a clean and quiet store. I had placed a mobile order, and she was placing her order at the register. The staff were extremely friendly, notified her that they were out of a particular dressing, and gave suggestions. Additionally, they gave samples of any dressing that she wanted to try. She ended up ordering a 'Shrimp Summer Roll Salad' that she loved. I had picked up my mobile order which was a 'Crunchy Thai Market Salad.' It contained satay chicken, heart of palm, crispy rice crackers, a super tasty coconut dressing, and mores. It was from the 'Destination Menu,' which I have thoroughly enjoyed for quite some time. This menu alternates different flavors from different parts of the world, and it walkways integrates something new. My salad was super tasty, and the coconut dressing was great. The staff are always very friendly. My only critique is that the salads can be a bit pricey, but for a treat and extremely healthy meal, I think it's worth it. read more

The food is really great. fresh ingredients. Very tasty, great choices of base, toppings, sauces etc. The only thing is it is expensive!

Wow never seen a salad bar like this! It's like hope Chipotle for salads. I am on Keto so just got a connection salad with bacon and I love how they really fine chop all the ingredients at the end-- truly chopped. It had huge portions but I managed to finish it all. Great variety of salads too that are ethnic as well. read more

Always good and fast. Great choices and always fresh. Easy ordering on the app. I eat here at least once a week.

Wow just loved everything about lunch at Chopt today. The restaurant is beautiful and spotlessly clean. Every effort has been made to make the place comfortable and friendly. My friend and I selected salads at the counter and watched the young man chop up every bit of the salad. He poured some dressing and asked if this was the right amount. He mixed a bit more and asked again if it was to my liking. I was impressed. I asked for a sample taste of Sriracha Tzaziki sauce and he filled a small lidded cup for me. Then he asked if I wanted a slice of their excellent multi grained bread. My total was $11 for a most generous salad. For a drink we helped ourselves to lemon cucumber water. Lids and paperbags are on the water and plastic ware counter. We were impressed that someone came to our table to see that we were satisfied & to see if we had questions. The place attracts the hipster crowd but there were folks of all ages. Salads are changed on the menu every few weeks. We will be regular customers. read more

A much needed fast casual yet healthy option restaurant in Princeton - yay! I came here after the urging of a fellow Yelper (shout out Margie A!), for a lighter dinner one night with my husband. It was a cold rainy Saturday night, but my heart was set on a salad. We walked into the bright and airy location, dazzled by the white walls and subway time, and the clean and modern finishes. There's a small eating area with chairs/tables, as well as tiny 2-person booths that line the windowed walls. After MUCH deliberation, we walked up to the counter to order our salads! My husband went with the California Steak Salad, which came with BN Ranch grass-fed steak, Mama Lil's spicy peppers, charred red onion, Chopt lettuce blend and romaine. For dressing he opted for the recommended Chimichurri Ranch, and asked for a little extra - this was definitely a mistake, it was WAY too dressing-y. I ordered the Chicken Tinga, which was actually a grain bowl. My dish consisted of Braised FreeBird chicken tinga, southwest quinoa blend, avocado, scallions, tortilla chips, cotija cheese, kale, broccoleaf and purple cabbage, covered in Mexican Goddess Dressing. I couldn't get enough of this - every bite was delicious! The broccoleaf in particular was super yummy, the grains were amazing, and the warm chicken and quinoa was the perfect remedy for the dreary cold! We ordered a fountain drink to share - they had really yummy tea options to choose from, including black tea, hibiscus tea, lemonade, and green tea. #healthy! Another cool thing, their bowls (if you're dining in) are all recycled, made from plastic bottles, if I'm not mistaken. A wonderful addition to the area, I know this is a big chain in NYC, as my husband has eaten here many a time before. Despite it being a chain, the ingredients are all local, which I love; there's a board by the counter which depicts their "local partners and favorite artisans" delineating where various ingredients are sourced. When we visited, the sign boasted local partners for the following categories: greens, dairy, fruits, veggies, herbs, bread, chicken, seafood, meats, artisans (seed mill & Apex Bee Company), and neighbors (The Suppers Program). It definitely feels good to eat local! Even though this is a chain, don't expect a cheap meal - this came with a pretty hefty price tag, especially for salads, about $27 for 2 salads and a fountain drink. Saying that - I will say it's quite a hefty salad - I left completely satisfied! Can't wait to go back and try more! read more

Our office ordered food from Chopt for a colleagues birthday lunch. She created a custom salad and when she opened her bowl and began to eat it, she got more than she asked for! There was a giant fly in the salad. It made her sick and she was not able to enjoy her birthday cake. Although I called and the staff refunded our money for our entire order, we will never chose to eat any food from Chopt. read more

Chopt Creative Salad Co. - specials not listed on the menu - Salad Near Me - Princeton, New Jersey

I came here a few weeks ago for the first time and went back again tonight to grab a quick dinner. Last time I ordered one of the specials, NYC streetcart. It had a great combination of flavors, and I loved how they chopped the whole salad up so that there was a little bit of everything in each bite. Tonight I got the chicken tinga, which is also delicious. The chicken is flavorful, the tortilla strips add a nice crunch, and the dressing is zesty. They didn't chip everything up together and mix it all up this time, so I'm not sure if that is a consistent practice or not. Either way, it's a yummy and healthy meal! read more

After eating at Chopt several times in NYC, I was thrilled to learn that they would be opening closer to home. This Chopt location definitely did not disappoint! The quality of food and friendly servers (high above your average salad bar) are what have kept me coming back time and time again, and this location was no different. I find that health food options, particularly fast-casual options, can be lacking in Princeton. It is great to see that that is beginning to change. Chopt is the perfect option for those that want to eat healthier without going hungry. I have tried a number of their set salads, as well as made my own combinations, and I always feel full and satisfied after. Their menu also clearly marks all nutrition and allergen information! If you are in need of a quick, healthy, and satisfying meal- Chopt is your place! read more
