Chopt Creative Salad Co. - Raleigh

Quick service always fresh! I?ve never had a bad salad from this location.

Today I ate at the local salad curatory known as Chopt. Between the jovial faces of farmers on the wall, the quintessential made-for-service-industry reggae mix, and fresh complimentary bread that I regrettably, yet regularly, opt out of, you really get a comfortably hip-adjacent vibe. The kind of place that feels right-at-home in Cameron Village. The food... far exceeds the type of quality you would expect from a place that so explicitly seems like a chain, aesthetically. Their ?destination? salads are culture-friendly and culture-forward. The staff... wonderful. They toss your salad (lol) like pros; unabashedly and with conviction. When I ask for ?medium? dressing, it is an arbitrary unit of measurement... yet I get exactly what I want. My only complaint: I believe their water is not sourced locally like their mantra entails. It couldn?t be? How could local water become so bad so fast? Room temp at best. Not warm enough to bathe in, not cool enough to refresh. The hints of lemon and cucumber only accentuate what is already a bad thing. 4/5

Pretty good place to grab a salad. I saw they had this new umami noodle bowl that is vegan so I got that. It was quite good. Some bites were so good and others were okay. I would add a suggestion: season and/or prepare the tofu better. Maybe would come back!

OMG that salad could feed a family of 5, and it was DELICIOUS.

Ive orded twice from Chopt in the last month and both times they messed up the order. Today both bowls were missing chicken, first time they did not complete the correct substitution. Will be ordering elsewhere in the future.
