Our Story
Born from a Passion for Fresh, Real Food
Chopt began with a simple conviction: healthy food should never feel like a compromise. We set out to prove that a salad could be as satisfying, craveable and exciting as any meal — and we haven't stopped since.
Founded in the heart of Charlotte, NC, our chopt restaurant grew from a single kitchen counter and a relentless obsession with flavor. Our founders spent years perfecting knife techniques — the art of the chop — that transforms a bowl of greens into something extraordinary.
Today, Chopt stands as a beloved destination for food lovers across the United States who believe that eating well is a daily act of self-care. Every ingredient we source, every dressing we blend, every bowl we build reflects our founding promise: fresh, flavorful, and made for you.
