I know that it has been over seven years since I've been to the lobster bar, 10 out of 10, some classics never changed. Austin and Justin were amazing. Let's talk about it. I arrived at the lobster bar at 625p for 630p reservation. I was able to valet immediately, which is a three dollar charge. I walked inside the restaurant and my friend was waiting at the bar for me. We were seated immediately tucked away in a corner in the back, just perfect. We were greeted by Justin, who was a waiter for the evening also accompanied by Austin who was helping him. Justin was so professional so knowledgeable so excited to be waiting on us for the evening. He answered every question that we had and left no wheels unturned. We were greeted with a warm bread dish. Tasty w/ the butter. I started with a Cabernet Sauvignon red wine-Swift Abstract for me and my friend continue to sip on their cocktail-Ketel One and lime from the bar wait and of course water. We ordered two appetizers to start with the calamari and a special beet salad. That salad was amazing. For my entree, I went with the Maryland style lump crabcakes OMG and my friend had the Crusted blackened grouper, which was great as well. I can truly say we had an amazing experience and it's just like I remember years ago of course the restaurant is very loud but as long as you can enjoy the company you are with, it's always a good time. Thanks Lobster bar, and see you soon. read more

Went tonight for my 50th birthday with my bestie. First, we were greeted pleasantly and seated rather quickly, although we didn't have a reservation. Our waiter was awesome and took care of from beginning to end. The food...let me tell you...delicious! I hade the hong kong sea bass and my best friend had the salmon. Both amazing. I did order the oyster and dear lawd I'm craving some more now. Definitely will be returning! Because it was my birthday they did give me a bread pudding with ice cream but I wasn't thrilled about the bread pudding. read more

I stopped by for lunch and ordered the Steak and Wedge, but swapped the wedge for a side of creamed spinach. I also added a side of garlic mashed potatoes. The food came out quickly, which was great. I was surprised by the portion size of the mashed potatoes--it was pretty small, just a couple of bites for my boyfriend and me to share. That said, everything tasted good. However, I'll probably skip the creamed spinach next time. It was fine, but nothing particularly memorable, and I found myself getting tired of it about halfway through. As for service, we had Anthony. This was our second time getting him and he's been a pleasure both times. Great service and very attentive. The ambiance was relaxed. We went on a Friday during lunch, and it wasn't very busy. read more

Came here, partially on recommendation from locals having such rave reviews about it as well as doing some research online. So apparently this place is an institution and everybody loves coming here and it is always fully booked. In order to get here you can do the valet at the Saint Regis because they are all connected. To my surprise valet is only three dollars which is absolutely incredible. The decor here is definitely classic and old-school. I love the dark wood. The menu is very traditional and classic with a lot of expected staples. We came on a Friday and unfortunately could not eat meat so we did have quite a bit of selection for seafood, which is great. You can tell from the photos that we ordered quite a bit of items. Unfortunately, I have to say that the food was OK but not necessarily impressive nor does it stand out. For example, the crabcake entrée was ordered and while it is great that the crabcakes had no filler there was nothing special about it not only in taste, but also presentation. They're famous fried rolls Royce lobster appetizer which we got and ordered more of in order to serve. Three people was great, however again nothing about it that seemed unique. Probably the most disappointing part was that we ordered asparagus as a side and frankly when it came to the table, it just looked wilted and pathetic for lack of a better word while the waiters were very attentive about it, and apparently a manager came over as well, there was really no resolution to it. The asparagus barely had any salt or flavor on it and was just so whittle down and looked like it was dying on the plate. I really expected some serious bright green stocks that were crisp and snapped. These were soggy. I'm still giving it three stars because they do have some strengths about this place such as location reputation menu choices and ambiance. the service in general really is hospitable although not necessarily accommodating. Considering all the competition of steakhouses and steak and seafood places all within stone store of this location, I would definitely try another place next time read more

Came to Chops & Lobster Bar for a birthday party with about 20 people. Seating with reservations was seamless. There were a few parking spaces on the street and no parking fee on Sunday!! The drinks were good & strong. Ordered an Old Fashioned and I only needed one. We started with the calamari. Soooooo good! Nice Asian glaze with good cuts of calamari. Quite different, but still really good from standard calamari. We ordered the Tomahawk steak for 2 (cooked medium), Brussel sprouts, broccolini, and truffle fries. The steak was perfectly cooked! Just enough pink and not too much red. It was seasoned very well. No steak sauce needed. And it was just enough for 2 people, including my very hungry husband. My favorite sides were the Brussel sprouts & broccolini. Forgot to take pictures but they were yummy. Ordered the truffle fries for my toddler. She was unfortunately not a fan. There's no kids menu, so prepare yourself. read more

The lobster bisque is pure luxury! creamy, buttery, and you can't forget to add the lobster morsels that makes every spoonful unforgettable. I customized the sea bass, asking for it pan-seared in garlic butter (highly recommend), and it came out golden, flaky, and perfect alongside tender broccolini. The ribeye? A masterclass in steakhouse excellence. Service hits that sweet spot between polished and personal. Chops is one of those rare spots where everything, from the food to the vibe. feels effortlessly first-class. Definitely a splurge-worthy favorite. read more

Atmosphere is dated; restaurant is dirty; food is sub-par; service is slow and cost is unreasonably high.

While Chops has elements of an upscale restaurant, there are other elements more like a sports bar&grill. The white tablecloth service, dresscode, dim lighting, and menu definitely give an upscale feel. However, the extremely loud environment is like a sports bar or a lounge. Also, the seating/tables are crammed together tightly next to each other. All that being said, the menu options and price, the taste of the dishes, and the service overall were fairly good. read more

Aside from wanting a bit more variety on the menu, the green beans coming off a bit plant tasting due to them being undercooked, and the usual acidic restaurant coffee; everything else was perfectly seasoned and cooked. I was hoping for a gourmet pork "CHOP"... get it? lol. I had Moscato, the Cesar Salad, NY Strip w/ mashed potatoes, creamed spinach, and green beans. For dessert I had perfect Crème Brûlée w/ coffee. Service was immaculate. The ambiance seemed quiet but it did get a bit loud later into lunch. Dress is business casual. Prepare to valet because parking is not fun. read more

Chops is an old school steakhouse under the Buckhead Life Group umbrella. Stellar service across the board, and the bread place isn't bad as well. It's also situated in a unique area with the modern greenery that borders Rosetta, Umi, and the St Regis nearby. They are pretty accommodating and knowledgeable about the menu. Lots of pretty solid options, including even relatively healthy salads! You should also check out the broccolini. Their wine selection is solid as well. read more

Amazing service from the staff here! Servers were so friendly and attentive. Refilled waters, brought out bread and our cake without us asking. We got a few appetizers to start off with to share, the onion rings were so crispy! The oysters were fresh. My favorite was definitely the crab cake, it was filled with fresh crab and tasted very flavorful. The octopus was delicious as well. I also really enjoyed the bread service. The raisin bread was a sweet touch. And the regular bread tasted great with the butter. I ordered the pepper steak and it was amazing! The mushroom sauce was so good and the potato was so tender. We also got the broccolini and it was so buttery and tender. The truffle French fries were definitely the star! The truffle was flavor was so strong and the fries were lightly fried. Overall, this meal was so good and I can't wait to be back ! read more

Chops is a classic steakhouse. The restaurant is split into two stories. The first floor is the main dining and lobster bar where patrons can sit at a counter. Upstairs has the large bar, bit more festive and more dining. Reservations are a must! We enjoyed the sea bass, filet, lobster mac, lobster mash potatoes, greens, shrimp, and more. Service was perfect. Food was delicious. Expect to pay $100-200 pp depending on drinks and cuts chosen. There is valet parking, street parking, and a few lots around. Uber is best here. read more

One of my favorites. Great ambiance. Great food! Lobster lobster lobster. Make reservations!!!

There are other fine dining restaurants in ATL and then there is Chops & Lobster Bar. The place looks like it commands order but I wasn't here to play by the rules. I turned this fine steakhouse into my own personal tapas restaurant because I like to try it all. We started with a Greek salad, then came the octopus, then the fried lobster. And yes, I ordered the mac & cheese because I'm 7. Oh and the no filler brilliant crab cakes. Chops may be for the serious steak crowd, but we got it on track! It's now headed in the right direction. read more

Chops Lobster Bar - Bread pudding with cinnamon ice cream. Yum - Seafood Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Last night we got the chance to visit Chops Lobster Bar. We were so excited and had high hopes for this place as all of the reviews are beyond amazing. Unfortunately it disappointed. I don't know if it's because they are mostly celebrated for their steak and we didn't get that or maybe it was just an off day overall. Whatever the reason, I was certainly let down. Anyway- let's get into this food! Appetizers: Mixed Green Salad Thai Chili Rhode Island Calamari Chile Glazed Tiger Shrimp Entrees: Hong Kong Combo- Chilean Sea Bass & Faroe Islands Salmon Triple Cut Colorado Porterhouse Lamb Chops Sides: Lightly Creamed Baby Spinach Creamy Curly Mac & Smoked Gouda Cheese Dessert: Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding Drinks: Strawberry Infused Margarita The Piedmont Peach The mixed green salad I will say was really good. It had apples, pecans, cranberries and blue cheese crumbles. Very flavorful and one of the better items of the night. The calamari was seasoned well and it included juicy pieces of bell peppers which was a different- yet pleasant experience. The tiger shrimp I was okay as well. Not too spicy, not too much sauce. However, not too much bang for the buck either. Jordan enjoyed his Hong Kong Combo but he compared it to Atlanta Fish Market, which is also in the Buckhead Life Restaurant Group, and he said theirs was much better. I enjoyed my lamb chops for the most part. LARGE and juicy without a doubt but a little too charred on the outside and not very easy to cut as it usually expected. I felt as if I was fighting with the meat to try to get the knife through it and because my preparation was medium, I was expecting a much easier experience. Overall, I would say we probably gave the entrees 6.5/10. The mac and cheese was TERRIBLE. It tasted like noodle. Have you ever had a noodle straight out of the pot? That's how this tasted but worse. No flavor, no cheese, nothing. Would not recommend AT ALL. The creamed spinach however was very good, probably one of the best items of the night in my opinion. Light and smooth, great taste. Overall, appetizers, 3/10. While the spinach was good, the mac & cheese brought the score down that much. We had the chocolate chip bread pudding for dessert and we were pleasantly surprised by this. Super smooth and light, the spoon slid right through. I am not the biggest fan of bread pudding but I enjoyed this. 7.5/10 These strawberry infused margarita was DELICIOUS. Strong and a drink that actually tasted like the fruit that was supposed to be in it. This was one of their specials so it may not always be available. Jordan wasn't the biggest fan, one of those drinks that did not taste like the fruit that was supposed to be in it. Very light, not very strong. Overall, we personally likely won't be returning to Chops Lobster Bar but it does get a lot of good reviews and if you were to try I would probably say go with the steak as that is what many of the reviews rave about! read more

For an upscale restaurant like Chops Lobster Bar, today's customer service was absolutely horrifying. Our waiter, Allen, seemed far more concerned with every other table than his own. We constantly waited for simple requests while watching others receive much better attention and service. The food itself was decent, but with prices at this level, the service should match the experience people are paying for. Unfortunately, it did not. Mother's Day is supposed to be special, and instead it turned into a frustrating and disappointing experience. Honestly, between the horrible service and lack of attention, I wouldn't come back even for a free meal. Thanks Allen for helping ruin what was supposed to be a memorable Mother's Day dinner. read more

Not bad. Pleasant service. Greeted, sat and table prepared. Dont have much complaints. Will recommend.

Did y'all know Chops and Chops Lobster Bar are technically two different restaurants in the same building--with the exact same menu? The only real difference is the vibe. I've always liked Buckhead Life restaurants, but I'd never eaten here because... well, I ain't really about that Buckhead life. If you know, you know. We had reservations at Chops Lobster Bar, but even 15 minutes after our time, our table still wasn't ready. The host suggested we check upstairs at Chops, and I'm so glad we did. They seated us right away, and the experience was much more our speed. Chops Lobster Bar is a whole scene--beautiful space with a wavy tiled ceiling, but super loud and a tiny waiting area. Upstairs at Chops, the crowd was older, more chill, and the volume level dropped from a 9 to a 5. We even got a window seat overlooking a nice little (artificial) green space. Also, big difference in the staff energy--downstairs was chaotic, upstairs felt calm and professional. Style-wise, Chops is classic steakhouse: red leather, dark wood, relaxed. And the food? Outstanding. We don't eat red meat, but the fish and lobster were spot on. Same food, totally different vibes. If you're trying to decide between the two, hopefully this helps. read more

Service is awesome! Our waiter checked on us throughout the evening. I ordered the lamb chops and these were some of the best chops I have ever had! My only criticism would be for the "Michelin Award" winning banana cream pie. I'm not a chef but I do know flavors, and the pie was lacking. It looked wonderful, but the flavors did not come together as they should. I more than likely will visit again when I'm in Buckhead. read more

This was a great dining experience. Valet was on it so parking is easy and fast. There was barely any wait at all. I came with the party of six for a birthday and the service was awesome. We came on a weekend, so there was quite a crowd, however, since we have reservations, once all our party members arrived, we were seated quickly. The food was everything! I had the crabcake entrée, and that was the star of the show. Also, the bread pudding was phenomenal that I wanted to come back and get more. read more

Great Food, Great Service, Great Atmosphere. Can't wait to return. We met friends here for our Annual Chops Lunch and it was better than ever. We got seated in a very comfortable booth and I got to watch the kitchen (which I love). We ordered the Lobster Bisque with add ed lobster meat and a Cheeseburger and fries. The bisque was my pick. It was great and the added lobster only enhanced it. My spouse ordered the cheeseburger and it was definitely the hit of the meal. It was huge, perfectly cooked and beautiful. We did kind of finish the bisque (ate all of the lobster chunks out of it). And then there was the burger. We both kept cutting off a small sections until it was totally gone. The burger was cooked just as ordered - well but not dry. The flavor of that huge burger patty could not have been better. The fries were great. They arrived piping hot. Our server was awesome. He arrived with Birthday dessert for all of us. Two orders of fantastic Bread Pudding and yes, it was my birthday and I picked Chops...lucky us. I wish I could remember the name of our server....just know that his birthday was that day...August 7. Highly recommend. Can't wait to return and have another burger!!! Make a reservation!!! read more

My husband, son, and I came to celebrate my birthday on an early Tuesday evening. Our waiter, Chad, took amazing care of us. We enjoyed the calamari appetizer, and I filled up on the raisin nut bread which Chad brought me a second serving since the bread is so good! I highly recommend the Hong Kong sea bass which I almost always get, as it is the best! My husband tried the lamb chips which he enjoyed, and my son had a wedge salad, broccolini , and mac and cheese. Everything was tasty and celebration worthy. For a finally, Chad brought us not one, but TWO desserts in honor of my birthday-bread pudding with ice cream and chocolate toffee cake. I felt so delighted, such an amazing conclusion to such a wonderful meal! I wish every day could be this perfect! read more

Update! I'm updating this review due to an ongoing issue with the amount that I was billed in the amount of my receipt. I took my entire team here and the total plus tip was $1662.70. My corporate card administrator informed me that the receipt I submitted did not match the transaction amount. Chops ran my card for an extra ~$6. I don't know why. It took several emails over several weeks to get this corrected. The restaurant tried to say that the issue was on our side. How was it possible for us to run our card from your establishment for a totally different amount? Makes no sense and I have been using corporate cards for over 10 years and never had this issue before. They finally issued a refund for the difference after all the emails I sent with only one response saying they were working on it. If you go here or just be leery of this, especially if you have a large party. This does not take away from the quality of the food, which was pretty good. read more
