Chopt

Good, as always. Simple, easy and quick. I ordered a custom salad (similar to the old baked falafel Mediterranean bowl). The service was quick. The place was clean. The ingredients are good and portion size is huge. Would return any day.

Staff at this location is amazing and the salads are good as far as fast food salads, but the PE firm who owns Chopt keeps increasing the prices, even after inflation has slowed and other restaurant prices are stable. $20 for a salad after tax is the breaking point for me, I’ll be going elsewhere until they get this under control.

The food is great, the staff is amazing and there is enough seats to sit if you decide to step away for the office. There are a variety of options to choose from such as salads, warm bowls and wraps. This is my go to place for lunch when I am in the office.

Very industrial space and very busy. The staff are nice but overworked during lunch. Sometimes your food is not always in the place. It needs to be for pick up because you have to ask them but they are attentive whenever they can be. Generally, I love chop salads, but sometimes they put too much dressing in and it gets soggy. This is for takeout only.

The manager is great. Really good and takes ownership for any issues. The food is fresh. They make the dressings daily. Their dressings are great! My issue is that the regular employees frequently mess things up. But the manager makes it right. There’s also another woman that works there that is always loving up everybody that comes in and friendly and working hard. Great, fresh salads and I’m thankful for that. But the employees are inconsistent . They forget the avocado a lot. My Cobb this weekend had no egg or avocado.

43rd Street location is wonderful! The service preparation of the salads and friendly staff is awesome. Been coming here for over 5 years for myself and team.

I pre-order from here for lunch very often, and I've been impressed by the efficiency and reliability of service. My salads are always delicious, and the friendly staff greets me with a smile every time (especially Sally). Thank you all!

I really used to love Chopt but this new “chopping” Policy is horrible I had big pieces of croutons and tomatoes in my salad. I come to Chopt because I truly enjoy getting all the ingredients on my fork in one bite ! not scrapping two pieces of spinach and all the ingredients I choose at the end I’m Truly disappointed. At this point it shouldn’t be called “Chopt” anymore if you have to ask for a chopped salad smh

While I find the food selection in Midtown to be very...mid, you cannot argue the fact that there are a ton of quick service spots to choose from for lunch. Since I periodically work in the area, I have been slowly making my way through the selection - there really is something for everyone which isn't surprising since there are a ton of office buildings here. Anyway, I was in the mood for something light the other day and a salad sounded ideal. I noticed this Chopt was in the area, so off I went. This was my first experience at a Chopt, but I had heard of them before and have been to similar quick service salad spots. I noticed that they had an app where you can pre-order, so to save time I did that. The selection was typical of a salad spot - nothing too out of the ordinary but I noticed that they also had a selection of wraps and warm bowls which was nice to see. I browsed their summer menu and the Sweet Summer Cobb Salad sounded great - it was more like a cousin to a typical Cobb, meaning it didn't have the egg or tomato but put in almonds and beaches in its place. The salad was pretty good, the flavors worked well together and the agave dijon vinaigrette it was dressed with was just the right amount of sweet. Service was fine, my salad was ready by the time I got there - and overall I had a fine experience at Chopt. I hesitate to call it something noteworthy, but also it wasn't bad. If I'm in the mood for a Midtown salad again I would return.

This was my first time going to Chopt in a decade, and now I remember why I don't go there. Service wise, the staff was fine, but it is a bit hard to hear the staff when they ask you questions such as what you want in your bowl. The wait wasn't too bad during the lunch rush as people have placed to be and can't be on the line too long. While Chopt is known for its variety of salad bowls and wraps, I found my Blissful Harvest Bowl to be filled more with grains. The ratio of grains: protein wasn't in proportion and not well balanced. The grains, as they call it, are a large amount of rice mixed with a small amount of quinoa, which was a bait and switch, in my opinion. I expected a healthier grain selection, and I particularly didn't like the goat cheese or the balsamic vinaigrette. I did add some extras to my purchase, chips, and a mediocre chocolate chip cookie. It was all under $20, which is expected in nyc.

They really need to bring back the tex Mex ranch dressing. It was the best one and so many people don't know which to get now

This was my first time in my life going to Chopt and my experience was awful! My food was not fresh at all. This is not okay for $17-18 wrap. I have tried contacting their support@choptsalad.com and no one has even had the respect to give me a response. HORRIBLE. Please stay away. Hopefully someone reaches out to me from this company.

The food was great and the service good. My only gripe is the way the salad is presented - all the greens on top, and good stuff underneath, but a bit overflowing and no way for a good portion of it to end up on the table.

amazing salad, first time, I passed around, and I never tried, until my boss talked about something helathy and somebody mentioned CHOPT. my co-workers were happy as well. yummy, SHORT LINE, GOOD ATTENTION. Jose

Best Chopt in midtown. Lots of seating, and always have gotten order right. Service is very good.

I ordered a Chopt salad for lunch pick-up through the app, to get some vegetables in after some heavy holiday feasting. This Chopt location is so crowded during peak lunch hours on weekdays and is very poorly organized. They have shelves at the front for pick-up that are not used. Instead, there are two registers for check-out (if you get your salad made using the line) and pick-up. When you give your order number, they look through their shelves to see if your salad is ready. If it isn't, sometimes they print off your ticket number to get it made right away, sometimes they bring it to the back kitchen, I'm honestly not sure how they determine what to do. For my first attempt, the employee didn't see my salad on the shelves, although the app told me it was ready. Ten minutes later, I went to the other employee who did see it on a bottom shelf, so it must have been overlooked the first time. I saw two customers leave because their pick-up orders weren't ready after waiting for awhile, and they said to just cancel them. There is no consistent process, and it is more of a mob than a line of people. In regards to food, I love their warm Harvest bowl, which has the perfect salty/sweet flavor profile with warm grains, lemon herb dressing, chicken, brussel sprouts, sweet potato, kale and pumpkin seeds. It is a little pricey ($14), but generous portion sizes and much more filling than some competitors like Sweetgreen. If it were for the food only, I would give it 4 stars, but deducting a star for the experience.

I've been to Chopt twice, and each time has been satisfactory, but nothing amazing. The service is definitely quick and efficient, and it's a solid place for lunch (especially if you work nearby). The queue is always pretty long which is a bummer, but it passes quicker than it seems like it will. I always order off their menu because the options are so overwhelming. The crispy chicken ranch salad is my go-to, but they have other interesting sounding options. I don't usually come here of my own accord, but I also never oppose it when others suggest it. Overall, decent experiences here, but nothing outstanding.

I think this location got too used to the mad lunch rush as a result of being in midtown because their service has gone downhill. I went with a coworker at about 1:30pm for quick salad between meetings. I know I've ordered from this location from the first time they opened but stopped going with as much frequency due to the lack of good service. So after much time apart, I was looking forward to a decent experience. I expected too much for the $15 salad. I ordered a spicy Sonoma salad. The order was taken quickly and properly. The person making the order made the salad- and when I got the bowl, I saw no avocado and no cherry peppers. I grabbed a fork before ringing up, and did a quick poke, brought it back to him and let him know. He looks at the bowl, asked the type of salad, sees no avocado and looks like he's going to the next station to get one, then I say there's also no cherry peppers. He turns to the person next to him and then they proceed to pick through the salad with their gloved hands, and tell me it's there, like I can't see there's no red in a sea of green leaves, as they pull it apart. Then the look like they're about to give it back to me after putting the leaves back in the bowl. I know that my measly $15 means nothing to Chopt, least of all this location, where they never get your order correct, skimp on quality and service, but you will not get my money. And I will be sure that every colleague I have in the midtown area goes anywhere else but here: Cava, Dog, Naya, Just Salad, Blue Apron....anywhere but this place. Hire better staff. I complained to the manager, pointed out the staffers and left to buy my meal next door at Blue Apron. Too bad Yelp mandates a minimum of 1 star because you should get none.

Always the best service. This staff is always so warm and welcoming. They make my salad perfect every time. It's my favorite location!

Ordered delivery for a meeting at the office. Ordering on the app was perfect, easy to customize on everyone's salad, and everything came as ordered. Could have used more shrimp in the cape cod salad, but was great anyway. Would definitely order again.

I order from here 3 days a week using the chopt app, and I have to say that the prep time is prompt, the salad is consistently excellent, and the ladies at the cash register (Sally and Jackie) always greet me with a smile. It really makes the workday easier. Thank you!

I don't normally review quick lunch spots but I would be REMISS if I did not tell yelp to GO HERE! I love CHOPT! I moved to NYC about a year ago, and before then, I had never had a salad I really enjoyed, craved, actually wanted to go out of my way and get. That all changed with Chopt. Per my sister's recommendation, I ordered a Kale Caesar w/ their Spicy Chipotle Chicken. I got Mexican Caesar dressing. And folks, I was in LOVE. Firstly, the way they chop and mix is phenomenal and now if my salad isn't chopped up and mixed with dressing then I don't even enjoy it anymore, chopt spoiled me! Their Chicken tastes so fresh and I love the added spice to it - the kale and romaine are super fresh, croutons and great , but the real winner is Mexican Caesar dressing. It's perfect spicy, delicious, and creamy. PRO TIP - Get a little lime or lemon squeeze with your salad as well. Highly recommend. My favorite lunch spot in NYC. and this location has awesome friendly employees!

I like this new location they opened in midtown, it's really convenient and their salads are great! service is pretty quick too. Try their special dressing, you can ask for it on the side. I got their mexican goddess dressing on the side and it was surprisingly good, better than my original boring creamy caesar dressing mixed in. They stack the salad really high and it does come out to be pretty expensive for a huge bowl of salad. I got lucky and came here when they had a promotion and they were giving out their salads for free so I got to put a whole lot of topping on it. I added shrimp, breaded chicken and steak with beets, avacado, corn, homemade croutons and cheese. The salad came out to be really good, I think steak was the best, it was a little smoked, everything else mixed in tasted really fresh and it goes really well with the mexican goddess dressing I had on the side.

I now understand why all my NY friends won't step a foot into Chopt and were shocked I gave the Chopt in Virginia 5 stars. Lunchtime = mayhem I came in to grab a quick salad for lunch and it was just insanity. Also, I asked for the bowl that's used for hot salads since that's what is used in other Chopt locations and was told I would be charged extra. Wtf? After the toppings came the chopping. I said that I don't want much chopped and kept telling the guy to stop and he chopped it to little pieces. I said to stop several times. Stay away.

This was a good change from Pret a manger, my usual lunch spot. The menu seemed a little intimidating but the server was more than happy to help. I got the Mexican veggie salad with lots of greens, avocado, black beans and Mexican avocado dressing. It was a really nice salad, packed with flavor and I loved the little crunchy bits of broken tortilla chips mixed in. I thought i ll only eat half but ended up eating the whole thing!

Great salad bar with lots of options. They make the salad for you but you can build your own or choose a signature salad. I got the Santa Fe salad with the sweet and smokey chipotle vinaigrette. It's a medium heat. Under $10 and pretty filling. I like that they also chop it all up.

Chop't Creative Salad at 43th street is one of the store that provide an effective service . I love the fast customer service, especially on busy days . I can rely on this store to satisfy my craving .

I like going to chopt for my salad fix because i like the options and ingredients they have. My salad today was pretty good, I mostly just have a problem with the people working here. I came around 1pm which is always a crowded time for them, no big deal I don't mind waiting in line. However they always have an employee to help move the line along and tell people where to go. Today I ordered my salad and then while I was waiting in line for it to be chopped, the lady kept ushering people through the people waiting to get their salad chopped which was really annoying to have people constantly bumping into you! Then the person who "chopped" (he actually threw it into the bowl without chopping it at all) my salad asked for which dressing I wanted but didn't bother waiting for me to say how much or how little I wanted. He just put it in the bowl and handed it to me. To top it all off while paying the lady asked if I wanted bread I said yes and she never put it in. I didn't realize till I got back to my office and I wasn't going back to deal with the disaster that is currently there. I like chopt salads but I can always go somewhere else if this is the level of service they are providing.

A MUST HAVE!! My daily lunch spot, which is quite popular, yet the crew/staff at this location always moves their lines expeditiously, greets you with a smile and will accommodate substitutions when needed. The manager Angie and cashier, Sally are so pleasant and always wishes you a great day upon departure. I am a Chicken Tinga, minus the chicken (substitute with jalapeños) and one scoop of warm grains versus the standard three. The staff chuckles and already knows my order before I say it. I've eaten at several Chopts, yet this is my favorite!!

This Chopt is just fine. Lunchtime is always a crazy long line but it's to be expected. The best thing about this location is the crew that works there evenings. They're always incredibly friendly and helpful. Leaves a smile on my face every time!!

This store is my go-to place when I need something quick. I work on 42nd street, so there isn't time to wait in long lines or have a sit-down meal. The lines are never long and you are guaranteed to be in and out within a few minutes. The store always looks clean and well prepared. The staff is always hard at work. Speaking of the staff, they are super friendly and accommodating! Highly recommend visiting for yourself to experience the greatness!

I have never been a "salad lover", but since I've found this place, I'm eating salads EVERY day. The location is impeccably clean at any time of the day. The best part of this location are the employees. Starting with Eva the manger (lunchtime). She can do 5 things at one time, with every thing done to perfection. Next, the salad preparers and choppers couldn't be nicer. And finally the cashiers are friendly, welcoming and diligent. I totally recommend this Chopt to anyone who is in the area, promising you will not be disappointed 6/26/19 Ok, I'm back again! I have been to this Chopt location EVERY Day now for 3 months. I've met another manager, her name is Jackie. She has been just as friendly and helpful as Eva. There is not one thing I don't like about this location nor is it lacking anything. Always immaculately clean! Oh, did I mention the choppers & the cashiers? They are awesome!!

Busy location, and they ran out of ingredients. Had to wait over 10 minutes to get what I wanted. Finally got my salad, and of course they forgot a key ingredient, so the salad was boring.

I must say as first timer it was a bit intimidating. I went during the lunch dash and honey I waa clueless. It felt like all the regulars knew what they wanted an moved right along. LoL!!!! I was there contemplating and derermining what I wanted. But I finally ordered a salad, the preparer sent it to someone else to chop and squirt dressing in it. And I was looking like a deet in headlights. LoL!!! The salad was huge and delicious! I can't wait to go back and order like a pro.

Placed order via app, pickup was supposed to be in 15 mins. Headed to store, still had wait another 15 mins for the order to come out. Salad was not properly chopped, and special instructions were not followed. Worst of all...there was a bug in the salad... Need better quality control!!

This Chopt location is great because there is plenty of seating. It's my go to for meetings friends for lunch near Park Avenue. My only complaint is it can get a little chaotic and the lines to order get squished because of the layout. The food is worth wiggling and waiting though as they're both healthy and delicious! My personal favorite is the Mexican Caesar.

Great salad place with lots of options and fresh ingredients. This is the spot for a healthy lunch option. I recommend trying the classic Santa Fe salad with the "Mexican goddess" salsa. The staff is also very friendly.

Make your own salad, is really nice and it allows you to decide how much you want to eat. They have many options and you will always find a line there. However, the line does indeed move quickly and within 10 minutes your out. The price is a bit higher then the other places nearby, but with that kind of turnover, you are sure to have fresh vegetables and toppings.

I ordered the classic cob with blue cheese dressing from work catering and it was overall mediocre. The bacon was from Neiman ranch which I enjoyed but came in bacon bit form vs cut strips. I likely would not come here on my own accord.

There was a bug in my salad... I'm just super grossed out and will probably not eat lunch at all today.

Y friend and I ordered ahead a salad for pick up...It was: barely chopped, over-dressed, with hardly any of the non-romaine ingredients. Very disappointed when I was craving their great salads! Update: the management contacted me and we're very gracious and took ownership for the issue. Good customer service!

Love this place! They even let me use my reusable bowl from another chain. The Palm Beach Chicken Salad with white balsamic is my go to!

So I upgraded the review to 4 stars. The District Manager read my review and sent me an email through Yelp noting that she voiced my concern to the hospitality managers to improve the crowd control at this location. Let's see what happens. But since I got an email basically within a day of writing this review, it shows that management does care about this. This is why I increased my review one star.

I really love Chop't, particularly the Chicken Tinga, and frequently use the app to order lunch or dinner. My issue with this Chop't location in particular, is 90% of the time, something in my order is wrong. Recent mishaps have included: -Missing chicken -Missing dressing (twice) -Missing quinoa -A missing salad altogether, even though I mentioned the bag felt light and the woman assured me my entire order was there If consistency is the key to a good restaurant, this Chop't location completely fails. On the positives, similar to other Chop't locations, ingredients are fresh and there's a great variety of options. The workers have generally been friendly and helpful, though my orders are often not completed by the time I'm quoted on the app. Would recommend actually going in person and watching them make your salad, because otherwise there's no guarantee you'll actually get what you ordered.

Felt Ripped Off.. Felt ripped off the last time I went to Chopit on 42nd Street opposite Bryant Park. Felt that they charged more for the same salad that they had at their place on Amsterdam at 75th St. Order Spinach & Kale, Roasted Chicken, Corn, Edamame, Blue Cheese, Avocado... The same salad that I ordered at their Westside store cost me $10.50... Here on 42nd Street it cost me $13.99. Half the time I don't know if their help knows what their charging. During lunch hours they seem overwhelmed and put anything down to expedite.. and it will usually not be in your favor. Watch what you get and question it if you feel you're being overcharged. Really turned me off to the place which I really initially liked. There's enough competition out there to look at alternatives if you are into salads.

They serve excellent salads, their salad menu is very broad and salads are very flavorful. I also like the fact that they come up with new options all the time. It doesn't feel like you're having the same thing everyday, because they have so many options you could easily have it every day.

Previous experiences have been great, but today the person just left to another station after chopping my salad half way through. No explanation, nothing, just walked away. Cannot stand this kind of customer service. I had to ask why I am being left in the cold and after a minute someone else came, with getting my salad chopped and dressings done. Will not go to Chopt again.

I very rarely ever gave one star to an establishment, as business do strive do give the best despite shortcomings. Not this one. This is the worst Chop't location I've ever had to deal with, especially with delivery. Not only does it take more than an hour on average, but they too often make mistakes with the order. Either the wrong drink, wrong dressing, or both. OR, worse, often after waiting for over half hour, they'd call and say my choice ran out. It's just horrible.

I went to this location today for lunch and ordered through the app Ritual. It told me when to arrive and was ready when I got there. This location is pretty big, but it gets VERY crowded with long lines around lunch time since it is in a very busy work area. I would recommend to order ahead of time before you go to avoid the wait. I enjoyed my salad except I felt like they did not actually chop it up enough this time, which I really do enjoy. This location has a pretty decent amount of seating, so eating there is definitely an option, but it is kinda loud since it is busy.

Come to this Chopt almost every other day! Line is always fast and very efficient, able to get in and out in less than 10 minutes. The staff is friendly and always greets with a smile and knows my order by heart! Will definitely continue to frequent for lunch.

This is my second time going to Chop't but a different location. If you're accustom to lunch breaks in the city during the week, then you know about the long lines of corporate workers on their break trying to eat too. This location was very efficient in tending the large crowd and the food was good too.

I grab lunch at this location on a daily basis. The food is fresh and consistent, the prices are reasonable for the area, and the service is friendly and reliable. I recommend this location if you're in Midtown and looking for a quick bite.

Ironically I'm listening to a "chopped and screwed" album, as I am writing a review for Chop't. Maybe not ironic but definitely serendipitous. I can't sing Chop't's praises enough. It does comprise of ridiculously expensive salads but the experience, alone, is quite the spectacle. The line can be somewhat daunting during peak lunch hours but it's midtown, near Grand Central Terminal. To expect anything less is nothing less than ridiculousness. There are pre-fixes but you can customize as much as needed and all the calories, even the calories of the salad dressing, are prominently displayed; so you can make the best dining decisions dependent on your diet. The line moves pretty swiftly and it's fun to see the chefs chop up your salad.

I love coming here! The toppings are always fresh and the salads are amazing. The customer service is great. Sally always has a smile on her face. If your in the area stop by and tell the conductor Dee sent you.

I stopped by here today to pick up a takeout Mediterranean salad. The employees are perfectly nice however, the salad was diabolical. The cauliflower rice was old and it stank and leaked fluid all over my bag. The chicken tasted like stale tuna and the other ingredients were not much better. I rang the store and spoke to a woman who was helpful, she gave a refund. I purchase from Chopt Salad a lot and typically have very positive experiences. That said, I won't be returning to the 3rd Avenue location again.

Absolutely divine salads, and even better customer service. Every day I come in and am excited to see Eva, who makes amazing salads and is also always warm, asking how I am and checking in that everything is going well. I truly can't decide what keeps me coming back: the farm fresh ingredients or the knowledge that every lunch at this Chopt is another chance to chat with Eva!!

I've been coming to this location for four years and the salads and bowls have been consistently high quality. My go-to is the Kale Caesar (with all kale, fried chicken, and Mexican Caesar dressing). The line is handled extremely efficiently, and the crew is one of the most genuine in NY. A place for the everyman or woman.
