This place is definitely a hidden gem in Butler! It is one of the only places in the area with good vegetarian food (and some vegan options). My husband is obsessed with the vegetarian gyro. I've gotten their standard black bean burger on the pretzel bun but I prefer their build your own black bean burger because if their extensive list of toppings (for no extra charge!). They also have "good ranch" which definitely makes or breaks a restaurant! Our friend got the chicken salad, and it was not only a massive salad itself, but the fried chicken on top of it looked delicious. The only downside is their service does tend to run pretty slow (no refills, longer wait times, etc) but the servers are always very friendly. This is 100% worth the drive into Butler and I can't recommend it enough! read more

We recently bought a small farm north of here and we're unsure what kind of dining experiences we'd have in Butler. Let's just say amazing!! Very easy to drive past but worth the ride around the block. Unusual and very creative menu choices. The duck pastrami Rueben was amazing - when you look at the ingredients it's an eye raiser but the chef knows how to cook!!!! The doc was also amazing- Cole slaw was the perfect consistency for the sandwich, the pork was perfect. Again, a perfect blend of tastes. We will definitely bring our friends here!!!! read more

Eat HERE. Went here for lunch today, and the food was so incredibly delicious that we brought a party of 14 of us back for dinner the same day. For lunch we had the goat cheese salad, the pumpkin hummus with pickled vegetables, and the soup of the day, vegetable beef. Holy cow, everything was yummy. Dinner we had the Osso Bucco (OMG I wanted to lick the plate!) and The Doc sandwich with sweet potato fries. Really good!! The place is BYOB, and we were able to bring some bottles of wine and beer to enjoy with our meals. Did I mention how delicious everything was?? EAT HERE. read more

The salted Carmel pretzel milkshake was AMAZING! We had 4 build your own burgers and 1 shake and 4 drinks and bill was around $70. So much food and great service! Waitress checked in and was super nice and thoughtful. The burgers had a great charcoal taste and cooked to perfection. The ambience was intriguing and also family friendly. We had 2 adults, a teenager and an 8 year old... perfect setting for a Saturday late lunch. We ate all the food and forget to grab pics because it was delicious!! read more

People have always raved about this place, but the hours never fit my schedule. We finally carved out time. I am SO happy we did! Our waitress was so friendly and attentive and the food was amazing! Love the flavored lemonade and teas that they offer. Also subbed for the sweet potato fries. So worth it! Can't wait to return!! read more

Recently passed through Butler and stopped at the chop shop. The atmosphere is very cool and the service was excellent. The food was absolutely wonderful. I had the pepper del with sausage and pig cheek a little, too peppery but still outstanding. My wife had pot roast Poutine out of this world. This is definitely keeper will come back. read more

Fantastic sandwiches and fun atmosphere. Definitely would suggest this place to anyone I know.

Great neighborhood place with excellent burgers and sandwiches. Soups were good too. Cool atmosphere.

This is a GEM in downtown Butler. We came half way through a 40 mile bike ride on the Freeport-Butler trail. Start with the drinks: freshly made lemonade, limeade, or house sweet tea then flavored with muddled spices. We got strawberry basil lemonade, blackberry mint lemonade and jalapeño, habanero, chili limeade. I'm not usually a fan of spicy drinks, but the jalapeño limeade was amazing! For appetizers we got arancini Osso Bucco. Wow. Deep fried risotto with Pork inside--delicious. We also had a very tasty goat and roasted beet salad and the Seitan shawarma wrap. The food was fresh, creative and delicious. read more

It was the first time in five years since I've been back to the chop shop. And it was just as satisfying, then as it was today. The service was excellent, the waitress was knowledgeable and had a smile on her face the entire time. Portions of the food was spot on, and too much for me to eat, the atmosphere was great, and the music was awesome! I will definitely come back. read more

Cool place in downtown Butler. We rarely venture to Butler, but did this time just to try this place. It gets great reviews. It was worth the drive. It's an eclectic place inside, playing the auto chop shop theme up with mechanics lights as table lighting, gas signs, etc. they have an open kitchen that you can watch the folks make your meal. Nice menu. I wanted a sandwich and my wife wanted a dinner, both of us were able to get what we wanted. Seem to have some unique tales on favorites. Not often you see a duck Reuben. Nice soup selection and I started with a cup of cheeseburger soup. Tastes, well like a cheeseburger. My wife had a nice salad with her meal. I ordered the buttermilk chicken sandwich with onion straws. My only negative was that the straws were so finely cut they were awkward to eat, but they tasted good. My wife had a half chicken and risotto. My sand which was huge. I ate a portion of it and finished my wife's chicken. I liked the chicken I think more than she did. She finished with a slice of homemade ho ho cake that she seemed to enjoy. All the staff seemed very friendly, our server was very kind. Although not convenient for us to get to, we will return. read more

Finding a restaurant with vegan options in rural Western Pennsylvania is not the easiest. There is Chinese and Thai dishes of course, but those are primarily take-out spots, not for dining in. The one place that I have found with delicious options is The Chop Shop. The Seitan Shawarma is fantastic. I like to get it with the sweet potato fries. The dish is completely vegan, like me :-) There is also the Hummus Wrap, Lentil Burger, and the Tempeh Gyro is also vegan if you 86 the tzatziki. If I were simply vegetarian, extra tzatziki please. The staff is also friendly. Bryant in the open kitchen is the man. He always makes a little side of meat for my little Pomeranian, Hercules, that often dines with me. The servers also always bring him a little to-go cup of water to sit on the floor for him, always without even asking. The décor and ambience is fun and inviting. It's an exposed brick muscle car garage meets art studio vibe with good tunes playing. It's also not too bright. It's a pet peeve of mine when a restaurant has the lights turned up. I should be relaxed, not interrogated. While I am on the subject, no neon lights either. Neon signs are fine. If there is one improvement that could be made, it is that they would sell booze, but it is Pennsylvania after all. Liquor licenses are scarce. PS: Try the flavored iced teas as well. read more

I've been here a few times now and the portions are great can almost always take leftovers everyone's nice and helpful.

Simply amazing food. You have to try the Poutine Pot roast appetizer. Killer! The homemade basil pesto salad dressing is good enough to drink. The staff is very friendly and attentive. They work as a team, so no table goes wanting. There is some kind of evil genius coming up with the menu items here, because they are just that good. The Mac and cheese makes me want to slap my grandma. read more

This is one of the best places I have ever tried. Me and my family went all 8 of us extremely loved it! Multiple kids and adults loved their food and were pleasantly pleased. I would live in Pennsylvania just for this place absolutely amazing! The customer service was also fantastic and they were very kind and funny! Very pleased with this place and would for sure come back again! (Written by 13 year old) read more

Great food and great service!!! Perfect for lunch or dinner. Eat local and you can't go wrong.

I really enjoyed the chop shop visit. I like how you are able to seat yourself and it is pretty quickly thereafter you are greeted with a smile from one of the wait staff. leave it to yelp to help you find something in a unknown area that turns out to be a gem. I landed on the fried chicken sandwich that comes with coleslaw on top and another horse radish type of sauce that was delicious. The sandwich was cooked fresh' I know this because when I bit into it it almost burned off my tongue. So to say that is to say once your food comes out please know it is made to order and blow it because it will definitely be hot! This was really good to know! It seems like restaurants are getting further and further away from making fresh meals:) The onion fries were really good too I forgot how much I like them. I added a picture on Yelp so that everyone could see what they look like. One of the cool things about the restaurant was that our water came to us in Mason jars and the menu was different than anything I had ever seen before. If I am ever in Butler again and I'm sure I will be I'm definitely going to make my way to this restaurant Aiken read more

First service is top notch! All the waitresses work together. Don't see this everyday. Way to go Chop Shop! Now the food is amazing! Ordered the Tater Tot Roast Beef Poutine! I don't even have words to describe how delicious this was. The gravy was the perfect amount to not make the wonderfully crispy tater tots mushy. All topped with cheese. OMG! Thankfully, we shared, but it would've made a great entree. The basil pesto vinaigrette is a must for your salad. Absolutely phenomenal. And yes, the sandwiches the Go a Round and a flatbread chicken sandwich (can't remember the names). The au jus was simply the best I've had. Most of the time I won't use au jus cause it's just too salty. But, you could drink this au jus with no complaints. The chicken was equally as amazing and delicious! A must try when in the area! read more

What an amazing find! We loved everything about this place. I respect that the hostess didn't seat us right away because the kitchen needed to catch up. Our server, Lindsay was incredible. She gave us great recommendations and her timing was incredible- not too pushy, but right there when we needed something. We had the pretzel appetizer as well as the Osso Buco rice balls. They also have great lemonade-limeade flavors that were very creative. I had the cheeseburger soup and a clementine cashew salad. We also had the pork burger (I got to taste it and it was outstanding) and the Italian sausage ravioli. My small salad was huge. The presentation of the dishes was great also. I cant say enough about this restaurant. read more

First time in Butler, PA.. a layover in between sites on an exploration weekend. Stayed in town and took a walk to someplace close to eat. What a find!!! Word of caution to those who like a little spirit with their dinner.. this is a BYOB. But you can stop next door and grab a to go cup of anything you want at The Brick House or go the the Butler Brewing Co a few steps away on the corner. On to dinner.. We had the Hummus plate with pickled vegetables! Hummus was a charred corn, pepper and garlic - really good. The pickled veg was sugar snap peas and parsnips. What?!? Never had and was surprisingly delicious! My husband had the Sea Scallops. Beautifully presented and there was nothing left on the plate. And he ALWAYS leaves something. A testament to how good it was. I had the special - Prime Rib. It said 12oz but looked like a 21oz! Also very delicious and cooked to the perfection temperature. Service was spot on, very friendly and helpful. Everyone looked like they enjoyed their job, helping each other, smiling and truly just a fun atmosphere to be on for a dinner out. read more

Great food! Though it took a bit long to come out, it was all hot when it arrived. Friendly and helpful server. Looking forward to coming back! read more

Always fantastic. I haven't been In too long, used to be a minimum monthly visit. Food is always fresh, menu creative, ambiance comfortable. "Soup du jour" done well is my personal thermometer as to a restaurant's quality & creativity and Chop Shop's has never once served one to me that wasn't an "OMG" experience. Repurposing ingredients to eliminate waste into something new is a true culinary talent - and these guys never disappoint. Tells me they know what they're doing behind the curtains. Good job fellas & gals, obvious why you've succeeded so well. Thanks & I look forward to my next visit read more

Holy magical fuck balls!?!? I don't know what in the actual miraculous idealism of devilish deliciousness the chef's were thinking when they put the maple bacon cheesecake together but who so ever concocted this cacophony of desert perfection deserves to have his or her name etched into the walls of Valhalla! Sweet mother of hades is this thing good! read more

A couple of years ago, my cousin who lived in Butler recommended that I eat at the Chop Shop, but this past weekend was my first visit to the restaurant. Chop Shop is a casual restaurant in downtown Butler, and its menu includes appetizers, flatbreads, soups, salads, burgers and other sandwiches, entrees, desserts, and beverages. My husband called the restaurant for a to-go order, and the employee who answered told us that the kitchen was understaffed, so the menu was limited, and the wait for pickup would be about 1 hour and 15 minutes. One of the menu items that my husband wanted to order was not available, but we placed an order anyway. When we visited the restaurant to pick up the food, the seating hostess told us that our food would be brought out in several minutes, and she made friendly conversation with us. Plastic utensils were included, so we could eat the food in our hotel room. The total price was $45 plus a tip. Here are my reviews for the food: Tater tot poutine - 3 stars - Dozens of tater tots were baked perfectly. The pot roast on top tasted very good. Unfortunately, the cheese curds were skimpy and congealed/hardened. I would have preferred that the cheese be gooey and cover the tater tots. Steak - 5 stars - The sierra steak was cooked medium as I had requested, and the chef cut it into pieces so that I would not struggle with using my plastic fork. The seasoning was tasty. House salad - 4 stars - The salad contained fresh mixed greens, tomatoes, grilled corn, feta cheese, avocado, and lemon poppy seed vinaigrette. Risotto - 3 stars - The risotto contained roasted corn and was cooked so it was neither hard nor soggy. It tasted slightly salty to me. Pork sandwich - 4 stars - This sandwich contained pulled pork, ham, swiss cheese, pickles, and chipotle mayonnaise. My husband described the sandwich as "good" and said, "I like it." It was accompanied by a side of French fries, and they tasted good and crispy. Paula's oatmeal cream pies - 3 stars - The cream pie was certainly a higher quality that Little Debbie's but tasted perhaps a little too sweet for my tastebuds. read more

Very cute and eclectic place, great food with a twist adding interesting flavor profiles. Definitely returning

Always great. And have Gluten Free options, my daughter lives their GR chicken quesadilla. My favorite is the Cobb Salad! Yummy. You can't go wrong at The Chop Shop read more

Service amazing. Menu choices amazing. Had the fried chicken tender sandwich on a pretzel bun. Let me tell you, the chicken was amazing by itself! Mouth watering, juicy, fresh, tender. They really go out of their way to take care of you! Thank you for an amazing after-show meal! Yum-freaking-yum! read more

Very good!!!! At first we looked at the website which wasn't working, and some of the photos of the interior kind of threw me off and I wasn't sure about going here. But we've heard a lot of good things so decided to give it a try, and we were so happy we went. The menu overall was exciting and we ended up getting burgers. They were both very good and we will definitely go back again! read more

Everything was amazing from the house salad and dressing to the main dish (pappardelle sausage) to the banana bread pudding dessert. The waitress was fabulous! Also loved the selection of classic rock!! read more

This is easily one of the better establishments in Butler -- a star of an eatery in the otherwise pretty downtrodden downtown area of Main St. Clean, well kept, inviting location with great food and service. The menu reminds me of one you'd find at a food truck in LA or Austin with a line extending down the block. The sandwiches and burgers are particularly good. Sides are excellent as well. Keep doing what you're doing Chop Shop! read more

Love the Chop Shop!!! The food is amazing. The atmosphere is so inviting! Downtown is becoming enjoyable to visit.

Great local place in downtown Butler. Hostess was nice and engaged with my husband and me. Our server was polite but less than attentive. She didn't seem all that busy but ran in and ran out like she had a hundred tables. We had to ask several times for a diet soda. Pot roast poutine was DELIGHTFUL! Best pot roast EVER. I had the cheeseburger soup. I want a fan but my husband loved it. I also ordered the large house salad with added brisket. Beware, the cherry tomatoes are cooked somehow and to me they taste like rotten tomatoes. I found out why they were cooked when I told the server, "I think these tomatoes are spoiled." As she was grabbing plates and running away, the server said, "they're cooked." The menu did NOT say they are roasted or whatever. The balsamic dressing was just a smidge too sweet; maybe go with the ranch. My hubby said his fried chicken salad was good. I thought the batter needed salt. The greens were crisp and fresh in both salads. As I write this, I'd like to order one of those amazing milkshakes but I don't think we'll see our server again. We may die here...stay tuned... Whew! She returned and we tried the Fluffer Nutter Butter milkshake and YUM! Didn't make everything perfect but it sure helped. read more

I sadly don't get to go here very often anymore but my god the food is so good. I don't think I have ever had a bad experience here and I've been going for atleast 12 years. I love this place and I would definitely reccomend to anyone new to Butler. read more
