Chopt Creative Salad Co.

I asked if the falafel topping was gluten free, the person making my salad didn’t seem to understand the question, but another employee confidently told me that it was. I ordered the salad and took it home, but when I double checked with their allergen chart on the website, it was not. Wasted $11 on a salad. they are clueless. Clearly no training.

Celiac friendly?

No

I ordered online and custom made my salad. Nothing on menu menu as listed as gluten free but I used my best judgement and didn’t get anything fried or crispy and I did well. My salad was HUGE and SOOO DELICIOUS. I was very impressed by this place. Quick pick up as well

The staff does not change gloves, does not changed chopping mats, does not clean their chopping blades (wipes with filthy rag if asked to clean) and often reuses mixing bowls. Been “glutened” several times. Not going back.

Celiac friendly?

No

This is a buffet salad place, all toppings are in one case and are not separated very well. Croutons are at the far end of the case and are easily dropped on meats/cheeses/basically everything else in the case when the workers build the salads.They clearly mark on a plaque that they cannot guarantee cross contamination of any allergens. However, after I asked about gluten-free food they brought out a manager, explained the precautions they can take and had the person making my food wash their hands, change their gloves and clean a new station to chop my food.A for effort, but they could easily eliminate some issues my spreading out foods in the case and/or adding additional dividers in the case.

Celiac friendly?

No

We had a Caesar salad with romaine lettuce, grilled chicken and Parmesan cheese. I asked them to use fresh lettuce from the kitchen and not toss the salad to be safe. They all washed hands and changed gloves before making our salads. Allergens are clearly marked on the corporate website. Tasty option to grab on our way to catching our train. The manager was very helpful.

Celiac friendly and so delicious! I always remind the staff to change gloves. Almost the whole restaurant is gluten free except for the croutons, wontons, pita chips, panko fried chicken, falafel, and most desserts. Separate serving utensils for each ingredient except lettuce. All dressings GF. I’ve always ordered the kale caesar with grilled chicken and subbed in tomatoes for croutons. Very reasonably priced!

Have been here several times, is hit or miss. The employees are mostly knowledgeable and there’s a binder that says what ingredients have gluten. Since it’s made in front of you it’s hard to tell what ingredients could have come into contact with each other. Salads are really good and they will change their gloves and pull lettuce from the back but I most recently got very sick. Would maybe try again early when they’ve just opened and it’s clean but wouldn’t recommend when it’s busy
