A Chopt Restaurant Born from Passion
Chopt was founded with one simple conviction: people deserve food that is genuinely fresh, boldly flavored, and made with honest ingredients. What started as a small kitchen experiment in Newtown, PA, quickly grew into a beloved chopt restaurant destination that thousands of guests now call their favorite spot to eat.
We source our produce daily, partner with local farms wherever possible, and insist on scratch-made sauces, dressings, and proteins. Every dish at Chopt reflects our belief that quality food should be accessible, delicious, and something you feel good about eating.
- Locally sourced ingredients from trusted regional farms
- Handcrafted recipes developed over a decade of refinement
- No artificial preservatives or hidden additives
- Fast, friendly service without cutting corners on quality
- Community-first mindset embedded in every decision we make

Our Journey Through Time
From a small kitchen in Newtown to a thriving chopt restaurant brand — here are the milestones that shaped who we are today.
The First Chop
Chopt opened its doors at 2910 S Eagle Rd in Newtown, PA with a small menu, big ambitions, and a commitment to serving the freshest food possible. The community responded with warmth and the lines never stopped.
Local Farm Partnerships
We formalized our first farm-to-table sourcing program, partnering with six regional farms across Pennsylvania to bring truly seasonal, hyper-local produce to our menu throughout the year.
Menu Expansion & Catering Launch
After overwhelming customer demand, we expanded our menu to over 80 items and launched our catering division — bringing Chopt's fresh food to weddings, corporate events, and private parties across the region.
Online Ordering & Delivery
We launched our digital ordering platform, making it easier than ever for customers to enjoy Chopt's handcrafted food at home. Our delivery zone grew to serve the entire greater Philadelphia area.
Sustainability Pledge
Chopt committed to eliminating single-use plastics, achieving zero food waste through our composting partnership, and transitioning all packaging to 100% compostable materials by 2023 — a goal we hit ahead of schedule.
Franchise Program Launch
Excited by our proven model, we opened Chopt's franchise program — inviting passionate food entrepreneurs across the United States to bring the same quality and community spirit to their own neighborhoods.
