With 20+ years in professional kitchens, Marcus founded Chopt to bring bold, fresh flavors to his home community. His philosophy: great food is made with care, not shortcuts.
Chopt began with a simple belief: that fresh, thoughtfully crafted food should be accessible to everyone. Founded in 2010 in Peachtree Corners, Georgia, our chopt restaurant was born from a passion for bold flavors, wholesome ingredients, and community connection.
What started as a small neighborhood eatery has grown into a beloved destination for food lovers across the United States. Every dish we serve carries the same dedication and care that our founders poured into that very first menu — a commitment to quality that has never wavered.
Every great chopt restaurant is driven by a purpose. Here is what guides every decision we make, from menu creation to customer service.
To nourish our community by delivering fresh, flavorful, and responsibly sourced food that brings people together and celebrates the joy of every shared meal.
To be the most trusted and beloved food destination in the United States — a place where quality is never compromised and every guest leaves satisfied and inspired.
We promise to serve only the freshest ingredients, treat every guest with genuine warmth, and continuously improve so that each visit to Chopt is better than the last.
We never compromise on ingredient quality. Every item is prepared fresh daily using seasonal produce and responsibly sourced proteins — no shortcuts, ever.
We believe dining is about more than food — it's about people. Our team is trained to make every guest feel genuinely welcomed, heard, and appreciated.
Great food evolves. We constantly explore new flavors, techniques, and ideas to keep our menu exciting while staying true to the flavors our customers love.
We partner with local farmers, reduce waste wherever possible, and actively give back to the Peachtree Corners community that has supported us from day one.
