Chop't or Sweetgreen? What's the difference?

[Anonymous]

I've seen both Chop't and Sweetgreen around - is there a difference between the two? Which is better? I need a good fast food place that's healthy

They both give you diarrhea.

They are similar but Chopt will take all the salad fixings are literally chop them up. (Sweetgreen tosses them together.) I prefer Sweetgreen for their soda and frozen yogurt.

I like SG better - but Chop't isn't bad. You can eat at both. No need to pick just one.

Hey, D Poster, it's starting to get old.

I live near both and eat both pretty regularly (never have gotten diarrhea, I'm wondering if PP just has a gentle tummy).

I prefer Sweetgreen because several of the salads are just more to my flavor palate (Bondi salad, yum). However, they are both good, and filling. If you eat a lot of salads and don't mind paying a lot for one - you can't wrong with either and can just mix them up to get different flavors.

Sweetgreen has really great drinks and the frozen yogurt is really amazing.

Agree with everyone.

I know chopt charges extra for practically every decent ingredient, and it adds up. I don't think sweet green does this, but they are expensive in general. So if you're more of a carrots, croutons, plain grilled chicken kind of person, Chopt is fine. If you want feta instead of cheddar, edamame instead of sunflower seeds, go with sweet green.

For my money I go to Freshii. I have bad gluten allergy so I can't always eat at chop't and sq because their dressings have gluten

sweetgreens is my preference. i hate chopt!

Sweetgreen is a local chain and sources more of their produce from local markets, so that's a consideration.

I love them both. Different salads. Chopt has more variety in general. Sweetgreen seems to have higher quality. But both are quite good. I just like the variety and rotating ingredients at Chopt.

I don't get the gross diarrhea comments. Are you guys not generally getting enough fiber? Doesn't do that to me at all.

Sweetgreen just changed their menu and my favorite (also the Bondi) is no longer on it. I actually don't like any of the new choices and they don't have the ingredients to make the old Bondi and Caesar. For that alone, I will choose Chop't from now on.

I have gotten sick after Chopt, never after Sweetgreen. My DH eats Chopt without any issues. I think Sweetgreen is healthier although I, like PP, miss the old Caesar. I've been eating the misoba a lot, really good. I like Chopt, just feel like their salads can get kind of heavy. YMMV.

I love Sweetgreen but every time I've eaten there I have a terrible allergy reaction. My allergist suspects sulfite preservatives, so if you know you have sensitivity to sulfites, you might want to think twice. I really enjoy their salads but it is not worth the sneezing, itching and headache.
