My family and I went to Chop last night. Here's a general overview: 1. The good - ambiance was great, bar was cool, services was attentive, tolerated my two young kids - probably too young to have taken there. My wife ordered braised short ribs, they were fantastic. 2. The bad - I ordered mahi mahi. I thought it very bland. I had lunch at Capital Grille this afternoon and ordered their halibut. The difference between Capital Grille and Chop was night and day. I'd go back, but for the price I though the food was just decent. Certainly wouldn't recommend ordering the mahi mahi read more

We had the Sunday special two Hamburgers and a bottle of wine for $29.95 The Hamburgers were amazing and it was a great salad, Service was great read more

Took my clients here last night on their recommendation. Chop did not disappoint. The wait staff was impeccable in their timing and amount of attention. The food was delicious. I had the trout and it was enjoyable but I found myself digging into my partner's baby back ribs. Wow, them ribs were simply amazing!! Our cocktails were top class an our whole group ordered seconds. All in all a great time. Perfect place to entertain guest, date, etc. BONUS: I made a mistake on the bill. It was my fault but the manager graciously and discreetly corrected it without any qualms. First class act. read more

Family took me here for my 42nd birthday. We have never been before. Great food!! Try the fried pickles as an appetizer! I had the boneless ribeye...awesome!! We will be back! read more

We had a wonderful birthday celebration meal there, everyone's meal was delicious. We did have trouble seeing the interior and reading the menus as it was so dark in there. read more

First off, the restaurant itself is gorgeous and has a great vibe. The location is also awesome. Now for the hostess...did not have a great vibe...she seemed like she was super unhappy being there the entire time we were there. Maybe she was having a bad day?... Our server was awesome for the time being...until he disappeared on our table with no warning. 20 minutes later a new server came to check on us and she was attentive. The food was average, I ordered the rib eye with a loaded potato. The steak was ok but a little under seasoned and the potato was dry. Over all, we left disappointed. It was not a consistent experience therefore I probably won't be returning. read more

Probably my new favorite date night location. Terrific service ... Friendly, informative, and they pay attention to details. Food was delicious and fresh! read more

The 5 stars breaks down like this: 1 GOLD Star for Monica, 4 stars for the food. We started with awesome fries because with a name like that how can you pass it up?! They were good. My husband ordered the pork chop and it was ginormous, he chose the cauliflower gratin and squash for aides, both of which were good. I ordered the short rib with polenta and it was so yummy, a little on the salty side, but still cooked to perfection! Our daughter (8) ordered the loaded potato side, haha, she loved it. Overall, it was good and we will definitely return and request to be seated in Monica's section. She was very nice and very attentive, just as a great waiter should be! read more

We love coming to Chop! The food is great, we love the meat balls and Mac and cheese for happy hour. For dinner you can't beat the rib eye. Best part is the servers, Lauren and Jeff. They are very attentive & personable. The restaurant is adult oriented and we haven't found anything better in the East Valley. Kudos to Bernie and the whole crew for an A+ experience every time. read more

My wife and I have been eating at Chop for the last few years and it's one of our favorite spots in Chandler. We typically start with their spinach dip and then move onto their homemade veggie burger with awesome fries and the chimichurri steak salad. Their service is top notch and we love the ambience. It's worth checking out. read more

Dirty restaurant and Manager was rude because I opened the blind behind my shoulder. Probably because he didn't want us to see how dirty it really was everywhere. read more

I really struggled between a three and four star rating. I wish there were halves but the "A-OK" description on the three star seemed to fit with our experience at CHoP. My boyfriend's parents were in town from Ohio and we wanted to take them to a nice restaurant nearby for Father's Day. We made reservations at CHoP for 7:30pm, showed up right at 7:30pm and then waited about ten minutes before we were seated. This bugs the crap out of me and reminds me of that episode of Seinfeld - "You just don' t know how to HOLD the reservation!" The wait wouldn't have been SO bad had there actually been a waiting area. You literally walk in the door and are faced with the hostess, who is basically working out of what can only be described as a sideways cabinet. Anywhere you stand, you were in the way of guests trying to leave, guests coming through the door and waitresses going to the other side of the room. Once we were seated we were greeted by our waiter and got some apps ordered. The calamari was a smidge on the rubbery side but not overly greasy and the sauce was tasty. The parents got spinach dip, which was described as "good, but there's too much spinach and not enough dip". Sadly, they were out of scallops and something else that 1/2 of our table wanted to order. Our dinner took about 25-30 minutes to come out because our ticket was apparently put in right after a ticket for 20 people. I can only comment on my entree and my boyfriend's steak because the other guests described their meals as just good. The seasoning on my chicken was tasty and it was well cooked. The macaroni and cheese was just eh. The cheeses they used didn't seem to add much of a cheesy flavor (weird, I know) and it was more gritty than creamy. The boyfriend's steak seemed to be charred on both sides but he said it was still tender. His baked potato was room temperature. All in all, a decent dinner but the chances of us returning are slim. read more

I have been here twice, both times for a date night with my wife. The first time was awesome and I would have rated 5 stars. The second time was subpar and would have rated 2 stars. The pros are the ambiance, price, and service. The cons are the food. On our first visit we loved everything. The food and service were on point. The second visit was this weekend. The bar service was ok at best. The bartenders were friendly but they seemed swamped and couldn't handle the crowd quickly enough. At dinner, I ordered the crab cake appetizer and had to return it. IT was like cat food smothered with mayo. My wife had the shrimp cocktail which was awesome. We both ordered the filet mignon entree. My wife ordered plain and I asked for mine blackened. Hers was delish but mine was like sticking my tongue in a salt shaker. The quality of the meat was good and the cook was perfect, but the seasoning, oh my god, I have never had something so salty, and I like salt. The waitress and hostess were great. Unfortunately the crab cakes were left on the bill and I had to ask to have it removed and it was. I will be back and I do like this place and this review is nothing more than constructive criticism for a restaurant that I do like. The ambiance was great and I wish there were more places like this in the east valley. But, they need to step up their food game a bit. read more

I want to leave a 5-star review but that wouldn't be honest. I will absolutely come back to Chop Chandler because I love the location and when they get the food right.. oh, it's right. Last time I was there, I ordered the filet cooked medium rare. It came out brown inside. Thankfully, my server recognized that as soon as I got her attention and they sent out a new plate that was quite delicious. Sides are fantastic and our server was knowledgeable enough to make solids recommendations. What I didn't enjoy was that I ended up getting my steak after my friends had already finished eating and I wasn't offered a comped meal. Maybe I should've said something? But our server was pretty busy and I felt bad. I will be returning but cautious of how I order. read more

Absolutely excellent! My fiancé and my first time there. Started with spicy fried calamari! It was cooked perfectly! Yum. We both had the fish if the day. I had sword fish with squash. Let me tell you. The fish was great! My fiancé has the bass with grill corn. Not cute watching him attack this poor defenseless corn but all it was very tasty! The service was great! No complaints. read more

I am a fan of this place! I have been here a few times and will continue to come. The drinks are amazing (especially the Queen of the Creek!)! I order the filet with fries. I LOVE THEIR FRIES! My only complaint is that I always order my filet medium well, and almost always get it well. It is still very good and I am also not a fan of sending my plate back. However, this will not stop me from returning! One of my favorites! read more

Disappointed. The food was amazingly delicious, we both had pork chops and were impressed, however that was their only saving grace with the 2 stars. The service was terrible. First off, the pour on my wine was that of a taster. just barely 3 fingers full, for the price i expect a little more. Our server was constantly walking past us, with our empty glasses on the edge of the table, and still we had to stop her each time we needed to order a new drink. Again, for the price you pay to eat here I would expect a better service experience. Not sure what was up, whether it was the bar-tender or the server but it would take 15mins just to get our ordered drink, and even then we had to ask her why it hasn't arrived yet. Sad to say she could have made much more on us as a table had she paid more attention, we likely would have gone thru 3-4 drinks each instead of only 1-2. We won't be back. read more

Extremely disappointed with "Chop." My friend and I saw the deal on Groupon and had been looking to find a decent steakhouse in the Chandler-Gilbert area, so Chop looked really promising. And it does *look* very nice. The area is well maintained, the entrance is great, and the restaurant has a very upscale look. When we were seated, the "dirty laundry" smell of the linen napkins was overwhelmingly strong and one of the two plates we were given was dirty. The waitress seemed rather uninterested in us and my friend commented that we wished we had the waiter from a nearby table who seemed much friendlier and more animated. We ordered the spinach dip and wedge salads but could barely eat the dip. It tasted like frozen spinach microwaved. The wedge salad was decent. We both ordered the ribeye - mine rare, his medium rare. Mine came out medium well, his medium. When the waitress brought them she awkwardly demanded we cut into them in front of her. When I said they were overcooked she seemed uninterested. We won't be returning and felt a little cheated by the extremely overpriced Applebee's quality food here. read more

Came here to celebrate Valentine's Day the day after, on a Friday night. We booked a reservation for 7:00 and were seated right away. The ambience and aesthetics of the restaurant are great! Unfortunately the service and especially the food did not match. The service was accurate, but much slower than it should have been for a well staffed night at an expensive restaurant. For food, we ordered the spinach and artichoke dip to start out with. It was delicious! Our only complaint was that there wasn't enough chips. By the time we finished the chips there was nearly half the dip still in the bowl! Next, we both ended up ordering the ribeye. She ordered it medium rare, and I got medium with broccoli. It came out quickly and looked as if it was cooked perfect! However, after the first bite, the wife and I looked at each other with a grimace, as the steak was SO BLAND. I guess there's a reason the have salt and pepper on the table... we had to douse the steak to make it taste tolerable, and even then, it was not even up to par with what I could whip up at home. If I go out and pay $125 for a meal for 2, the main course should at LEAST be better than what I could make. This was not the case. Lastly, we got the creme brûlée for dessert. The flavor was good, but it was obvious by how watery it was that it was leftover from the day or two before, and put in the freezer. Overall, I would not recommend this place to anybody that is expecting to spend some real money for a nice meal. You'd be better off cooking something yourself or going to some chain steakhouse. We will not be back! read more

I really wanted to make this place work. We've tried 3x now over the past 1.5 years. Great service but subpar food. The food arrives lukewarm. The inconsistencies are the only consistent. When you order surf and turf for the low price of $69, and it arrives with no lemon or drawn butter? When you order filet and garlic mash and both are cold? When you order a glass of chard and it's served in a cabaret glass? The ambiance is nice, and it's a very inviting restaurant, but step up your game for the price. read more

Awesome place, we really liked the ambiance, warm and inviting. The aromas upon entering are fantastic! The artichoke appetizer was plentiful and tasty. The pork chop was juicy and very thick. The service was a little off but they've only been two weeks so I'm sure they will fix. read more

Whenever my fiancé and I want to celebrate with a good dinner, we always go to Chop. He loves the Maui marinate ribeye. We both love their Asian slaw and the spaghetti squash with capers. yum! We are never disappointed. I always make a reservation on opentable.com. HInt: check groupon before you go. They sometimes will have a deal which really helps with the cost :) read more

Well, I will say I was impressed by the outside of the building.. (I noticed the outside so carefully because I was standing outside as I was actively being stood up on a date). It looks like a place where the food should be decent if not good. I figured I deserved a meal anyway.. Well I order the salmon w a baked potato & a side of mushrooms.. The mushrooms were horrible. The potato was hard and cold. I ordered a new potato and it's ok.. Not much flavor. Just a bunch of sh** dumped into a potato. The salmon was passable, tho I'd never order it again from here. It was a Friday and busy; but if u can't handle the quantity, u need to have less seating. Not worth the $$ .. I'll maybe come back; if someone else is paying for it.. Oh yea, the wine was good. Maybe this is more a drinks place read more

My wife and I are regulars at Chop. The staff has always treated us well and restaurant is organized. If there is ever a mistake, they are quick to fix. I think the Management has done an outstanding job of turning this place into a local hangout. I take my coworkers in that come from out of town every time. My recommendations: Stone IPA and Prime Rib with creamy horseradish. Keep up the great work, we love this place! read more

My first cut of this update was really nasty. The good news the food is good. The service was good. The bad news it was too damn cold in the restaurant. It was too cold because the staff had the doors wide open for the first 15 minutes we were in the place (had to ask to have the doors closed). After about another 15 minutes or so, one of the owners/managers/investors (who was there to eat) decided he was cold and wanted the heat turned down and the doors opened. They didn't open the doors but turning the heat down succeeded in making the place cold again. WTF people?? As I said, my first cut on this was nasty and I rated them a 1 star (the owner/manger/investor really hacked me off) but after further review that might not be fair. read more

I'm going to start with advising you not to go here. With so many options there really is no reason to NOT enjoy your night out at dinner. Pros -easy to get reservation -has a deal on groupon -the physical set up of the restaurant is nice and that's where the greatness ends -Live music (not in my taste but nice to have) Neutrals -Server took forever to get to the table..which honestly didn't matter because I was with someone who I love spending time with -Food was okay. Spinach artichoke dip is good but then again it's good at Applebee's too...for half the price. Rib eye was yummy, trout was yummy...I mean I expect the food to be good...it wasn't amazing or like something I'm craving now...but at least I have zero complains about it being "bad" tasting. -Food came out at pretty good timing although entrees closely timed with appetizer I'm not that picky Cons -the service was HORRIBLE: -No clue what the servers name was so let's call her "terrible server" TS for short -TS took forever to bring our drinks...so they tasted accordingly...like ice watered down my overpriced cocktail. -TS came to take the food order and didn't show up again until we were half way done with the meal....this means someone else brought out appetizer, someone else brought out entrees...and then she showed up (what if there was something wrong with the order or if we needed something?) -she finally shows up and get this..this is what TS says "I don't want you guys to think I'm ditching you so I'm going to transfer you to someone else" -First of all you'd need to be there in order to ditch us and second- who leaves a table when they are DONE eating? **I wonder if this was done on purpose cause she knew she sucked and it would now be a table under someone else's name? But I doubt TS is that smart. -After 13 minutes a new server shows up....13 min doesn't seem like a long time but it is when you're done with your food, drinks are empty, and you're waiting to leave....waiting....waiting....ditched by TS and waiting... -New server asks if we need anything and instead of dessert we just want to get out of there now...so we ask for box and check. -Tab arrives, we pay (we tip based on check not service-dumb I know) and we leave. I am going to say what I always say when we get poor service (which is rare) and guess that TS had a bad day...maybe her b/f ditched her...pun intended...but either way I don't go to restaurants and order overpriced food to NOT enjoy myself. Chop this one right off your list people! I warned you. read more

Great atmosphere. Great food. You must try the Moscow Mule. Jill is amazing. Very sweet and attentive. read more

The brined pork chop, appropriately called, "The Pork Chop", is definitely worth trying. And then we got the peanutbutter cheesecake... That was awesome too. I thought my green chili burger was dry, but everyone else enjoyed their meal. Service was great and we enjoyed the cocktails and martinis. Worth the trip. read more

We are happy restaurant-loving people. We tip high, and try very hard to establish rapport with our servers. The food here was delicious. The service was so poor, and we are still reeling with surprise and disappointment. We keep going over and over it wondering where the break down was. As restaurant owners ourselves, we are trying so hard to give the benefit of the doubt and leniency but there were so many unforgivable errors. First of all, we made reservations ahead of time. Then we called day of and confirmed. Upon arrival she said our name was not in the system. Seated 30 minutes later there were so many people attempting to tend to our party of 4, we weren't even sure who are server was or what role each person was. ONE of the team was so friendly and so personable, I wish I'd gotten his name. He's the reason I added a star here. The rest of the team was not as friendly and, dare I say, annoyed in general. They forgot drinks all evening and served food without silverware. The bar didn't have ingredients for drinks we ordered (we order these drinks everywhere we go). The kitchen was out of prime rib, short ribs and all potatoes on a Saturday night. They brought us our bill before offering dessert. When we asked about dessert, they brought us the menu but told us to order quickly as they would be closing soon. Really? You must serve your customers if they've been inside for dinner all along, especially if you lost their reservation and screwed up all night. It's Saturday night at 9:45. We don't take well to being rushed when we are being reasonable. Anyway, I hope it was fluke night. The place has good vibe and so much potential. However, we will look for other optimal choices when looking for places for dinner. read more

Went here for the first time last night... we made reservations but arrived 30 minutes early to try out the bar. The Happy Hour is really good (4 - 6). Draft beers are only $2.50 and all 'You Call Its' were $5. The wife enjoyed her wine and I had a Whiskey sour -- both were good. The bar is nice for small gatherings and the bartenders were nice and knew their stuff. We moved to our table and were seated in a very comfortable, quiet, dark table only lit by a candle and some dim lights around the trim. We started with the wedge salad and it was great -- maybe a little too much dressing but it was fine by me and the ingredients were fresh and pungent. For our entrees my wife had their signature dish 'The Chop' and she loved it (she replaced the cole slaw with grilled asparagus)... I don't think she put her fork/knife down once. I ordered the Bone-In Strip (medium rare of course) at the waiters recommendation and it was extremely flavorful and full of juice. The bone was gigantic and later given to the dogs. There was nothing I didn't like about Chop, our tab did come out to ~$150 after tip but that was b/c we each had 3 drinks. I would recommend this place (the bar) for a small gathering and dinner for a nice, romantic, somewhat reasonably priced steak house. read more

So pleased to have a place in Chandler that is somewhat hip. So, thank you for that. The food is nice, the atmosphere is great, and the wait staff is attentive. We have been twice to dine and ordered take out as well. The only item I have not enjoyed was the Asian Chicken Salad--pretty bland. But...my husband raves about the ribs, and the steak is really nice, flavorful and prepared well. read more

I had been wanting to try this place out for a while, so i was happy to get and then use a Groupon. I am happy that I finally made it here. We dined on great steaks and had fabulous service. I will defiantly be back as this is a great local steakhouse. read more

I really wanted to give this place 5*. Years ago this place was on Check Please. We recently moved to the the neighborhood and gave it a try. The restaurant is beautiful. We arrived around 530 pm for a quick drink in the bar. Our dinner reservation was at 6. The bartender was too busy to acknowledge or wait on us. A young guy from the floor came over and poured us a drink. I had our credit card in hand for ten minutes until another guy came from the main restaurant and poured another drink and ran the card. Dinner started with a shared Town salad. It was good. The ranch dressing had a excellent buttermilk flavor. Bread was warm and whipped butter had a mellow garlic, salt, and herb taste. So far all is well. Dinner came and my husband's ribeye was great. Perfectly cooked medium. The side potato was a potato. My trout was gross. The skin was not grilled or removed. It had a slimy feel and taste. It was also cold with large chopped almonds on top. Time for a new recipe in my opinion. My side cauliflower was rich and creamy. While the trout was left on the plate, the cauliflower was completely finished. Will we be back - not sure. read more

Ok, slow to learn! Food is Bonanza grade, at Flemmings prices. If you can get to the bar seat due to all the drunk Chop investors and their posse, you might get a drink, just a bunch of assholes drinking for free and they treat the real customers like shit. If you really want a good steak, chops or fish I really suggest you go to DC Steakhouse in down town chandler. Very good prices and excellent food. I would stay away from Chop, looks nice but that is as far as it goes read more

Our second visit here, service was slow, didn't even ask if we wanted appetizers, had to flag down any service member to get drinks. Rib eye was blah, no flavor, scallops were over cooked. Overall experience wasn't good and for the price, I would expect better food and service. read more

I got so sick from eating in this restaurant, I ate the pork chops and had half a class of Moscow mule. It was Horrible not sure what kind of alcohol they used in the Moscow mule it made me so dizzy and sick and started to throw up non stop and the food wasn't even good. I will never ever go back to this place again. read more

We went out to Chop last night for a nice dinner. We started with the Grilled Artichoke, it was good but very salty. She had the Ocotillo Sunset and it was delicious. She also had the Salmon Filet and it was great. I had the Maui Rib-eye. It was cooked well and the flavor was amazing. We had the Pecan Torte for desert and I was not impressed. It was overly sweet and did not have a good texture. Overall the ombience was very nice, food was OK. However, I would not go back without another Groupon. The food is a just too over priced. read more

Very slow service. The steak was over cooked, asked for medium and it was medium well, no pink at all. Had a Groupon tried to use the remainder balance and it was a choir to use 10 dollars. The waitress didn't explain the problem with the check, dropped it off and ran. The manager sat at the bar off duty and complained about Sunday's with the bartender. Overall not satisfied The only good thing was music read more
