Nice menu and the prices seem reasonable.

3785Here are some more images. The grand opening is Friday and we meet there for FRunch at Noon this coming Monday.3786

That menu looks great. This district is coming together. Any plans for more residential in the area?

The cobb salad looks yummy, except for the dressing. As blasphemous as it sounds I don't like ranch dressing.

Is Chopt what was going to be the Healthy something Cafe?

Is Chopt what was going to be the Healthy something Cafe?

Yes, it was to be another Health Nut Cafe -- there is one in the Regency Tower.

However, it looks like they decided to give it a unique name; pretty sure it's the same owners.

8 dollar salads.

Yea they better be great. lol

I don't know.... I'm sure places like this are beneficial to a lot of people but....... I try and eat healthy at home. When I go out to eat I'm going out to eat something that might drop me dead from cardiac arrest on the spot. I would be pretty PO'd if I went out choking on a piece of lettuce or broccoli ;)

It is good to see some healthier options opening up around the Metro the last couple of years for those that don't always have time to cook healthy options for themselves.

Probably only open for breakfast and lunch, where people tend to eat healthier and lighter.

8 dollar salads.

Yea they better be great. lol

They'll use only the highest quality lettuce. :wink:

I think the prices are supported by the chair selection in the photos.

(psst: "healthy" (and tasty) plate garnish: baby spinach, those little tiny tomatoes, a scoop of 2% fat cottage cheese (Braums and Daisy are just as good), and some Kraft Greek Vinegarette (or Maria's Blue Cheese if you dare) to taste. This, on the side--mostly for color-- makes that 1.5" pork chop look like a diet delite. Or vice-versa.)

did i forget to mention "fresh ground black pepper"? from an actual pepper grinder?
oh: and wash the spinach. don't believe the package. =)

oh! and don't put raw chicken in the chicken salad . . .
(at least without washing your hands)

was "little, tiny" tomatoes redundant? i hope not.
if you put some wheels under this place it might be a food truck . . .

(sorry . . . too much KEBC comedy . . . (henny youngman and rodney dangerfield with a hint of mort sahl and/or don rickles)

almost forgot: How do I love thee? Let me count the weighs . . . i mean wheys . . . (sorry)

(really... I also wish these adventurers into the realm of culinary delights for people too [insert lazy/busy/whatever] to cook all the best: May the weight of the greenbacks and credit card receipts be equal to that of one of the retro chairs in the dining area.)

I'm with you, I was fed up with ranch two weeks after it came out. I think Ranch ice cream was the final straw! OK, that's not exactly true, but it seemed like it was everywhere.

The cobb salad looks yummy, except for the dressing. As blasphemous as it sounds I don't like ranch dressing.

CT, if you are consuming your ranch ice cream (that sounds nasty and I like ranch) thru a straw, you may not be doing it right...unless if it is in the form of a milkshake, but make sure you use one of those extra thick straws designed for that...LOL

I do like the bright colorful decor

The cobb salad looks yummy, except for the dressing. As blasphemous as it sounds I don't like ranch dressing.

I'm not overly fond of ranch dressing either. No matter how you look at it. Or how it sounds.

In the first place there is the cowboy hats, string/bolo ties and chaps. Plus the pointy boots designed that way to easily slip into a stirrup while you are herding cattle. (ranch dressing . . .? dressing? nevermind.)

In the second place, just how does a "ranch" taste? I once bought some sort of "exotic" cheese one time. My wife took a taste and said it tastes like a barnyard. It took me a minute or two, but I got her point. And while a barnyard--even a large one--isn't a "ranch" it's in the vicinity thereof.

In the third place, I am suspicious about "Cobb" salad. with or without the corn. I'm not sure which side of the privy it's supposed to be on.

Of course . . . I've never been to The Original Hidden Valley.
(I had an envelope from there one time . . . sure wish they'd made it more clear that mixing it with buttermilk was more than a suggestion . . .)

(thx t' groucho marx and mitch hedberg)

Ranch ice cream! I'll have nightmares about that. I know how ranches smell, never made me want to taste one. Put enough bacon on it and it won't need dressing.

8 dollar salads.

Yea they better be great. lol

I had a salad today. Not bad, but processed/store bought (factory made) ingredients, nothing special.

RadMod: thats the way I feel about Blue Cheese dressing (looks like lumpy Ranch and tastes even worse)...LOL

I'd like to try their taboli salad. Gonna have to make a special trip one of these days!

This is a Chop't salad??

Looks extremely unfresh. I feel bad for anyone dropping 8 dollars on this.

If that is representative of their food, they are doomed. $8 for that is an insult. And, I don't mind paying...it isn't the $8, but what it gets.

RadMod: thats the way I feel about Blue Cheese dressing (looks like lumpy Ranch and tastes even worse)...LOL

What about Blu Cheese? (wanna bet it ain't as good as what you already don't like? =)
Bloo Cheese . . . (egad! . . . but it does come with a free comic so . . .)
Or how about Bleu Cheese?
Down in Lousiana they have Bleaux Cheese. They cut it with Borax to kill the mold, then add some Clorox to get rid of the stains.

Roquefort: Now THAT'S nasty. and difficult to spell correctly.
Yet, word on the street has it that when combined with a couple of cloves of garlic it keeps the Grammer Nazis at bay. (like those who might use a word like "unfresh" rather than "stale" . . . Perhaps even the "Grammers" of several of the hosts and hostesses on HGTV! =)

Say! Here's a little DIY suggestion:
Put some cottage cheese in a bowl, sprinkle it with some Hidden Valley Original Ranch Dressing Powder, et voila!
If you wanted to put a Cajun Spin on it, give it a couple of splashes of Original Lousiana Hot Sauce. It would turn it "shrimp pink" . . . Then dump it all over a small pile of some "wilted, then re-wilted in a saucepan over-the-date Baby Spinach!

As much as you want . . . About $1.50 per serving.

(if you prefer to drink it through a straw, you will have to add a blender to the mix. tip o' the hat t' : Bro. Chandler and Jim Gaffigan--spec. ref.: the joke about the tuna water at Subway)

Larry,
Wow, I know that taste is in the tongue of the beholder, but I really enjoy blue cheese and blue cheese dressing. Oh well, you probably enjoy ranch. That's Ok, I like you anyway.

Rm,
I love Roquefort, I'll bet there aren't too many folks on this site that even know what it is. Cottage cheese? No, it's one of those things that I have never tasted and have no desire to. I know, that's a little (Ok, a lot) narrow minded but I can't help it.

CT: i just heard that someone is taking umbrage at having the name "Roquefort, Li'l" dragged into this conversation regarding the relative merits of fresh--as compared to re-pre-processed ingredients!--of salad dressing!!! =)
http://images.bcdb.com/pictures/terry/little_roq.jpg

Isn't the best Blue Cheese from the mystical caves--not cottages--of Maytag (somewheres in Iowa or sumpin'?)

Oh! Li'l Roquefort also wondered what Chop't is an abbreviation of, or possibly for.=)

Neat! Your camera lens has turned this building into a mid century mod!

that's funny... a couple co-workers and i were at chop't just after those pictures were taken. we sat at the table on the right in the third to the last picture. -M

Are they serving everything in styrofoam? I won't be eating there if that's the case.

all of the to-go orders appeared to be served in styrofoam. the sandwiches served to us for dine-in were in baskets. i don't know about salads... we ate a pretty late lunch so not many other customers were there. -M

i had a turkey bacon wrap and a large drink. after tax + tip, that came to $11. the wrap came with chips and was pretty tasty. i liked the portion size, as i don't want to eat a metric ton at lunch. however, for the money, i feel that i can get better value elsewhere. for example, that same price range can buy a more substantial hot sandwich at kamp's with several choices of sides. i think the prices here (for the wraps, at least) should be more in line with someplace else deli... just my opinion. -M

Are they serving everything in styrofoam? I won't be eating there if that's the case.

From The Universal Source of All Knowledge:
"Styrofoam is composed of ninety-eight percent air, making it light weight and buoyant. Because of its insulating properties and buoyancy, it was adopted in 1942 by the United States Coast Guard for use in a six-person life raft."

Is air organic? If so, syrofoam is only 2% evil.

2% evil will fill a lot of landfills.

Places that don't even use plates or real silverware do not reserve the right to charge you 10+ dollars for a lunch.

This is why I will not go to Red Robin, they charge you 12 dollars and hand it to you in a plastic basket with wax paper.


The laziness/cost saving of restaraunts is becoming more and more of a joke. If you can't afford someone and a machine to wash plates or silverware - then you can't afford to charge those prices. This place will be dead soon unless they lower prices or change what they are doing.

I can spend 10 dollars at McAlester's Deli and eat on a real plate, with a real bowl, and use real silverware.

Think I read somewhere a few years back that styrofoam isn't the environmental evil that it used to be but there is still the perception???

2% evil will fill a lot of landfills.

Yes. it will. However: if we compress the containers enough to release all of the free range air . . .
we might have a bigger problem: such as wilty lettuce or whatnot. =)

Plus photographic, right brain takes on a left brain perception of building.

(tip: look up "olive salad" it will make the worst at least average =)

I always thought roguefort = blue cheese. According to this, it a specific type of blue cheese???
What is the difference between Roquefort and blue cheese dressing? (http://askville.amazon.com/difference-Roquefort-blue-cheese-dressing/AnswerViewer.do?requestId=60321016)

Ro[g]uefort was French Catholic Cheese. Roqefort was French Protestant/Storm the Bastille Cheese.
Chop't should check this sort of stuff out . . . Organic-wise =)
(and add "olive salad" to L'e Men'u and develop a local muffelata)=

(historical note: "SONIC" (the styrofoam consumption king) didn't pay attention to "CheeZ/Tuna Frenchie Resurection" SUBWAY doesn't get the "Olive Salad" idea. =)

Takeaway: The Maytag Blue Cheese repairman never even thought of having to make a repair.
(yet i think he resides in iowa so he doesn't think a whole lot anyway. just kidding. ok?)

Does anyone know if they make their own desert items?

I doubt it.

Like sand dunes, cacti, lizards, etc.?

Personally, I prefer dessert items, as they are much tastier. :)

Chopt on Film Row (June 10 2013) - YouTube (http://youtu.be/SdT7Sa9EIM0)

This restaurant has closed.

Sad when a decent looking concept can't hold its own through its first year. Not at all uncommon, but sad all the same.

I thought I had posted a comment about this, but I guess I never hit the post button or something. Anyway, sorry to see it go but not especially surprised. The people seemed very nice, but that is still a pretty lonely outpost over there. I'm not sure the resident office worker population supports it yet. The other venues are surviving for reasons outside of just the workers in the district. Joey's had a previous following, for instance, plus enjoyed a few months as really the only pizza place downtown before Hideaway was built. It also has a bar and benefits from IAO and Civic Center events.

Anyway, not sure Film Row was quite ready for what seemed to me to be a mostly lunch-only place targeting mostly workers in the district. Needs more critical mass.

I went there one time, and it was good, but I had a feeling this might happen. About 3 years too early to be that far West. I hope they didn't lose a ton of money and maybe they can try again either somewhere else, or a little down the road. The food was good.

As previously conveyed, not really surprised. Stopped in twice and wasn't impressed either time. Food wasn't 'bad', just nothing special and certainly didn't match the prices.

I was hearing complaints about quality and value.

I think it was probably the concept more than the location that put them out of business. I think most of us that want to eat healthy meals for lunch are probably packing our own lunches. When we go out to eat I think the majority of diners still want to splurge. A good burger or sandwich shop could probably thrive there.

I agree. Film Row isn't quite ready for this. After the 21c hotel opens up, it will become a better bet. Right now, the places to invest are Midtown, Auto Alley, 16th St Plaza, and 23rd.

Yes and no.

My wife currently eats out almost daily for lunch and she is very conscious about what she eats and most often goes for a healthy option. Additionally, some within my lunch group 'yeah' or 'nah' a restaurant based on the variety of healthy options offered. So, I think its a do-able concept - but you can't ignore the basics; location and value for the dollar.

Wouldn't you agree that your wife is still the minority though? I didn't say that no one wants healthy options. I just don't think there are enough of that type of diner to sustain the concept on a daily basis.

We have a lunch group of 5-6 on a regular basis from my office. Only one ever takes healthy options into consideration when we go out for lunch and even he sometimes goes for the splurge.

Even the women in our office, who tend to be a lot more health conscientious than the men here, will go to some place like Nic's with me over Chop't which was walking distance from our office... In fact we walked past it several times on our way to Dunlap Cadding to get some food truck grub on two different occasions and both times the women commented that they had no interest in trying Chop't. When I asked them why it was for the reason I gave above. When they wanted to eat healthy they would just as soon pack their own lunch.

You saying we don't have any successful eateries that highlight several 'healthy' options?

'Healthy' is subjective at best, but you could say in general Subway is a much healthier option than many other chain fast-food-ish restaurants. Same goes for Cool Greens, Jason's Deli, etc.

She may be in the minority (which is a disgusting shame that being conscious of what you put in your body is a minority mindset) - but its not a tiny minority and its a large enough base that if done correctly can be a success and often is with other eateries.

C'mon, anyone who really considered Chopt's menu overly 'healthy' has a pretty warped view of real healthy eating.

I do agree that healthy is very subjective because despite Jarod's weight loss success... I don't consider Subway to be a healthy option due to the bread.

My personal opinion on healthy is that if I couldn't eat it raw. I probably shouldn't be eating it..... But when I'm going out to eat. I do.
