If I want a fresh salad Chopt never disappoints. I love I can build a custom salad or pick from one of their seasonal items. The Mexican Caesar is my absolute favorite. The tortilla chips in it gives it that added crunch. Great for a solo lunch or with a group. Restaurant is always clean and welcoming. Staff is friendly and helpful if you need recommendations.

Healthy eating that's delicious and affordable! I've been to Chopt many times and I'm always very pleased. They have a pre-built menu to choose from, build your own salads, warm bowls, wraps, and seasonal items as well. I ordered the Santa Fe salad with the Mexican Caesar dressing and added panko chicken. The workers were all very friendly and do a great job in keeping the restaurant clean. This is a perfect spot to grab a healthy meal with some friends! P.S. say yes to the free sourdough bread slice!

Not too bad for a salad restaurant. The crispy chicken ranch salad was pretty decent with a good bit of chicken and a nice addition of pickled onions. Once you accept the fact that it's going to be expensive, it frees you up to like it more. . . One thing I was surprised by was that they had "burrito bowl" equivalents kinda like Cava. I never would have guessed this from the advertising. Will have to try it next time.

Kale Ceasar Wrap and Southwestern Steak Wrap (both were to go)

A good spot if looking for a "Super" fresh salad or wrap. Be prepared to pay for it though and the service, at least for my "to go" order, was underwhelming even with no one in the cafe but me at the time. I heard really great reviews about other locations and hope to give one another try when they open one near me in Texas (hint!).

Strawberry Summer Salad

This was my first time trying. Staff were friendly. The salad however was pretty bland. The chicken had no flavor. My daughter didn't care for the ranch. She said it was too peppery. I also noticed on other pics their salads were filled to the brim. As you can see ours was not. Maybe they have new bowls idk. Would I try again...maybe if I was somewhere and the options were limited.

Chinese Chicken w cauliflower rice, sub tofu, drizzle w Sriracha. My first experience, and I'll be back! The texture and flavor combinations of the "rice" pickled onion, cabbage, everything. Order at the bar, they make it on the spot, add anything, check out and go. I really liked that they have washable bowls for "here" orders. Serving size is decently reasonable. Could be more for the price, but I choose fresh and healthy over processed and cheap. Easy to park. Right off 31.

What a great concept. I love this healthy option with no frills. I will say that I heard mixed reviews about their other location, so I wasn't real sure what to expect. However, I was hopeful that it would be a smooth visit. It was!!! I came for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. There was a steady crowd of people, but the ordering process was fast and easy. It didn't take long for me to receive my dine in order. Good gracious!!! It's a lot of salad!! Chopped so nicely with the ingredients evenly distributed throughout each bite!! I was in salad heaven. If you're wondering, I ordered the classic cobb with Mexican Caesar dressing( on the side) instead of buttermilk ranch. I loved the spicy kick of the Mexican Caesar hitting my tastebuds! I do not recommend ordering a fountain drink. I think it's a waste of money. I had some organic sweet tea mixed with some semi sweet lemonade and it wasn't good to me. Definitely would not go that route again as far as a beverage. Water , please. I think it's a good idea to request your order to go even when dining in. Just makes sense and saves time at the end just in case you happen to have leftovers. I had no leftovers- I almost ate the whole salad. They didn't offer me any bread (which is optional from what I understand). No problem as I'm not a big bread fan. Honestly, the bread looks like a gigantic crouton! The restaurant was clean. Seating is a little too close in certain spots. Outside seating is available. Parking plentiful & they have designated curbside parking spots. My first time at Chopt was successful; I would totally visit again. I enjoyed the experience overall.

This place is a really awesome spot to get a quick salad or bowl. This is my first visit to this particular location, as I have been to the other location in town. This location did not disappoint. The customer service was amazing and I didn't feel rushed through the line. I got a Santa Fe salad. It comes with grilled chicken. However, they also have a roasted warm chicken that I think pairs better with the salad. So if you do get this salad, ask for it instead. The attendant at this location actually asked which chicken I wanted. I didn't know previously that this was even a choice. So I am glad that he asked. You will not be disappointed if you decide to get the roasted chicken. For some reason, I liked the roasted chicken better, although the grilled chicken is not bad. I just think it pairs better with the salad, as I usually prefer the chicken on my salads to be warm. They give you so much salad and I always get the optional bread too, because it is so tasty. If you want to stop in for a quick salad, then this is a good place to stop in. The salad bowls are bigger than you think. So even if you eat inside, there is a chance that you may want to also ask for a carryout bowl. I like the concept of the place and I really plan to visit again.

Chicken Tinga Bowl

I love chopt and I'm always happy when I order! I always get the chicken tinga bowl and it is sooo good.The servers are always super helpful and kind and always fill up the bowl to the top! The building is always super clean.

I love salads so this place is right up my alley. We went last Wednesday night to catch a light dinner. The menu can be a little overwhelming with all the choices so I was surprised when I tried to order my first 2 choices and they were out of the items (special bowl ingredients ) which was disappointing. So I went with my 3rd choice Asian crunch salad and it was good but a little one note with that sesame dressing. My husband's chicken tinga bowl was the best thing I tasted with a lot of seasonings and bam!! I will order that next time for sure. I do like this place and will return. I just hope next time they have everything on the menu.

What a tasty and healthy delight to have in Bham. Went to the grand opening location in Vestavia Hills to try a few of their delicious salad options. We got two salads, and I actually went with a warm grain bowl (which was an awesome choice). We had the shrimp salad, chicken Caesar salad, and warm grain asian chicken bowl. All were very flavorful, well seasoned, and quite refreshing. A perfect meal for any time of day. Also in a perfect location as well. Will be back again!

Create your own salad: rice, dried cranberries, crispy chickpeas, warm roasted chicken, arugula, chimichurri ranch dressing.
Taylor P.

I really love all of the options for creating a salad or warm bowl. I usually like a create-your-own approach. My husband has gotten the Harvest bowl twice and it's been good both times (but the 2nd time he got a change in dressing on top and they loaded it, too much). My salads have been great both times; I go home with leftovers. The only thing I'll say "negative" is the customer service - it's a little inconsistent. There are clearly people who work there that act like they hate their job or there is some unresolved conflict circling through employees. A nice, smiling face would go a long way. A better atmosphere would make me enjoy my meal more. Other than that, the place is clean and the food is good.

This experience i received in this store was just what I needed given the series of events that took place before I walked in. Upon arrival I was called to the art work on the wall. A hand-painted picture if Ganesh. To the left a Ganesh was a hand-painted wooden carving of Durga, a warrior goddess who is the protector of the universe. If you know me or anything about my daughter, then the connections drawn out. It was exactly what I asked for, a sign from the universe. And she delivered! The story goes on to say when I asked about the Durga carving, I thought it would cost me about 200.00. The store manager went on the shelf to bring it down. It was dusty and had been there for many years. It was the last one in the store and she offered me a deal. Rather than pay full price, she offered me a significant discount off the art piece. It was at this point that I knew and felt the presence that I was asking for.

Entering the cafe we noticed a strong herbal scent that was pretty soothing. It was then that we realized there was a store alongside the cafe as well. The cafe itself had a pretty welcoming atmosphere with not that many staff workers. The cafe seemed to be pretty clean as well and eco friendly at its core. To eat, I ordered the Golden Temple Stack and my boyfriend ordered the Tofu Salad Sandwich. The Golden Temple Stack included guacamole, salsa, sour cream, Monterrey jack cheese, black beans, and brown rice layered in a bowl. My boyfriend's Tofu Salad Sandwich included whole wheat bread, romaine lettuce, tomato, vegan mayonnaise, and mustard with a side of the kettle brand jalapeño potato chips. For our drinks be both just got waters. I really enjoyed my bowl because of the Tex-Mex blends that made it easier for me to like since I'm neither a vegan or a vegetarian. My boyfriend also enjoyed his tofu sandwich and is wanting to try the other sandwiches they have as well. Go check out Golden Temple!

I absolutely love this friendly fast-casual eatery! We wanted a quick and healthy dinner when in…read morethe area recently. I peeked in and thought it looked so pretty. And of course they had me at poke bowls. It's one of my top 5 things to eat, honestly. But I ordered a Buddha bowl because it's almost the same thing and I felt a little lazy to DIY (not to mention, the Buddha bowl looked tantalizing!) They have other veg options, but I set my sights on that bowl as soon as the friendly counter guy suggested it. It's overloaded with goodness--avocado, deliciously marinated tofu, edamame (yes, it's a protein-rich bowl), tomatoes, shredded carrots, diced cucumbers, greens and more. You're literally devouring the rainbow here, friends. For drinks, they have a modest but decent selection of beer, wine (a decent bubbly in a can!) and sake in addition to soft drinks. The place is so beautiful (and spotlessly clean) with plants dangling from the ceiling and beautiful murals throughout. If I lived in the neighborhood, I'd be here all the time.

The food was fine and fresh, but nothing outstanding to merit the price. $30 for a small poke bowl…read moreand two bao buns. I'm not sure if I'll be back.

The teen said his pizza was ok,but he didn't eat it all which is unusual for him. Hubs said the same about his ribs. Once we got back to the hotel, the fish and chips made an appearance, up and out.

Soup changes daily and this day was chickpea and chorizo. Nothing life changing about it but it wasn't bad. We walked into a small, dark, crowded dive bar and ordered amongst several other people after waiting in line shoulder to shoulder with other customers. I say this not to complain (because with a crowd like this on a random weekday, they're obviously doing something right) but to take your kids in car seats (‍) with caution. Crowds in small spaces stress me out and it would have been even worse if we'd had the boys with us. I'd also highly suggest going on a day when you can sit outside. There's very minimal seating inside. They do have a lovely, spacious patio that also feels like a garden with plenty of trees for shade. However, they make it clear they don't want dogs there. Parking was horrific. A narrow street with cars on each side. We barely fit through it. If there wouldn't have been an open spot on it, I'm not sure what the next option is because I didn't see anywhere else and this street only held so many. I would dine here again because the sandwiches were fresh and delicious and they obviously know what they're doing! I was pleasantly surprised that they had prosecco as well. Just heed my few warnings and you'll enjoy as well!
