| - I originally had Chop't in NYC and places like this are a dime a dozen in most other cities. I am not surprised that there is a buzz around this place considering Charlotte doesnt offer a ton of easy, casual, healthy options. When I think of healthy, I am talking about food with integrity. No hormones or antibiotics in the meat, organic when possible, clean ingredients, fresh, etc.
The place was very clean, the menu pretty easy to follow and overall friendly service.
I decided to create my own salad. The salad was huge but I found out after the fact you can do a half order which is a nice option. I chose the mixed greens for my base and they loaded me up with all the other veggies I wanted. The veggies/toppings are good but they didnt have a few staples like artichokes, almonds, fruit (other than dried cranberries), red onions (only some weird grilled version), red peppers, etc. I went with the grilled chicken and it was gross. Tough. Flavorless. I opted for the white balsamic vinegar and that was pretty tasty. They allowed me to try a few dressings before committing, which I appreciated considering most of them were pretty unique.
Overall, good place. Not my favorite but I would go again when I am craving a huge salad.
