All summer long I wished Montclair had more salad options and finally, four weeks ago, this place opened up! I picked up a salad from here for dinner and appreciated the friendly service, the large variety of mix-ins, clean space, and inexpensive price. I ordered a big salad with a bunch of mix-ins and it came out to $6 and some change. Pretty sweet deal for this neck of the woods.
Green Chop's seems designed for take-out, but there are a few tables in the front. The interior is nothing special. When ordering at the counter, you pick your lettuce (3 options: mixed greens, iceberg, romaine) and then all the toppings you want. The price depends on the weight. They had several protein options (chicken, turkey, tofu), several types of beans, nuts, all the usual salad-y vegetables, and lots of fruit, which made me super happy. There was a list of typical salad dressings but since I'm very picky about dressing, I chose to keep my salad plain so that I could jazz it up at home. The nice woman behind the counter offered to let me sample the dressings though, which was cool. She mixed everything up for me and then offered to let me try their soups while the guy behind the counter rang me up. I passed on the soup but I'll surely try them once it gets colder out.
I've been disappointed lately with the customer service at many of the new restaurants around here, so props to this place for doing it right! I will definitely be back soon!
Amazing homemade soups.
Delicious salads with fresh ingredients. They have some fun combinations from which to choose and you can always design your own, all at pretty reasonable prices.
This place is owned/operated by a very friendly couple. They are courteous, helpful and welcoming.
There are far too few establishments such as this that offer a nice variety of healthy options. A welcome addition to the area for sure.
Decent place to go for lunch if you want a salad or sandwich. The workers were very friendly and definitely care about their customers and their happiness.
The salads are charged by the pound, and there are a lot of options you can choose from, so be careful you don't spend took much.
There's also a pretty large selection of juices and smoothies.
Let's get things straight. You come to a salad and soup place because you don't have the time or will (or ingredients on hand) to do it yourself. See, I have you pegged. It's why I went to Green Chops in the first place. Since then, which was a week after they opened, I have been coming one or two times a week and not just for the food. The owners are such good people and so nice that I want them to succeed. P.S. – the soups are totally homemade and the salad bar is always fresh. I have never had a salad or soup that wasn't exactly what I wanted. My daughter would vouch for the smoothies any day of the week as well.
The salad bar has countless options and has never looked anything other than completely fresh. This is why you go here, because you can customize exactly what you want and then it is spun together. At home, you drop in the lettuce, a tomato and whatever else you have, but you are always missing something. How about some fruit in there? Croutons? Choice of ten dressings? Corn? Peas? Do you need me to go on? OK, hard boiled egg. The price per pound is well worth it, don't blame it on them if you add all the heavy stuff.
The soups are changed all the time and they are not only tasty, but unique. They switch broths all the time so you will have a regular chicken noodle broth then one based with coconut. They always have a vegan soup option as well. The soup and salad here have become a mainstay go-to option in my household because I appreciate that they take the time to hand craft a soup that I just don't have the time to. The lentil soup is great, lime chicken noodle, mushroom, the selection is 4 per day and always rotating.
Fresh, healthy choices are necessary for all of us and our kids. Out of time one night and need to get the family dinner, pass on fast food or pizza and get some healthy salads and soup. Any kid could find enough things in the salad bar to learn to love salad. Give it a try.
