Chop Steakhouse & Bar

I’m searching for vegetarian restaurants in Oakville and Burlington and chop comes up top of the list!!! This isn’t a criticism of the restaurant but of Unilocal to allow this.

Great steakhouse great food and service if you like the keg you will like this place very nice décor

Steak was a far less of a portion than what it was suppose to be. Ordered a 14 ounce ribeye but only got about a 9 ounce not very appetizing steak… not a good way to keep customers. Food was ok at best. My sons steak was obviously burnt but they brought it out anyway and didn’t even apologize or anything. Overpriced menu as they clearly have unskilled chefs working here.

I had good experience at Chop. The atmosphere was great. We chose to sit in the lounge. It was my birthday and I wanted more of an upbeat vibe. The lounge was great, music was on and the game was up on the screens. Excellent beer on tap. The food was alright. My wings weren’t made to my liking but the manager took care of that promptly. Drinks were on point and my dessert was delicious. I would definitely go back.

Glad to see this place FINALLY up and open
Had the Oscar sirloin! Amazing!!! Perfectly charred and pink. Would love more wasabi flavouring in mashed.
Had a bite of the braised beef ribs… Getting that next week!
Mojitos not that great… Jack Astors have better a version…
Beautiful décor, friendly knowledgeable staff…
Will definitely be a regular here. Goodbye Keg …

Solid. Lobster fettuccine was delicious. Impeccable surroundings and Mad Tom IPA on tap. Gem in the area. I will be back.

My partner and I went to Chop for our anniversary. Service was prompt and warm. When they asked if we were celebrating en event and we told them it was our anniversary, we were given complimentary champagne. Every part of the meal was delicious, prepared well, visually appealing too. Would highly recommend the Gorgonzola filet. On top of the champagne, our dessert was personalized with a nice message and we were given a handwritten card from all the staff congratulating us and thanking us for the visit, and a voucher for a complimentary appetizer for next time. We would return even just for the delicious food — but the staff really made it all the more special. We can’t wait to go back.

Had dinner here two months ago, steaks were undercooked and took forever. Great customer service as they took the food off our bill. We decided to give them another shot but this time for lunch. Ordered grilled chicken caesar salads and the Chop burger. The caesar dressing was overpowered with garlic to the point were it was practically inedible. Also, the grilled chicken breast might have been only ¹⁄₃ of the size of a normal chicken breast. The burger was forgettable, looked like a pre-​grilled patty that was warmed up ie. no juices or taste. Should have gone to Kelsey’s down the street.

I had great hopes for this restaurant but was a bit disapointed. The service was just ok.
I was not impressed with my steak. I had the peppercorn New York. It was rough. I ended up only eating half of it.
The appetizers were very good. We had the veggies tempura. The mashed potatoes infused with wasabi were also delicious.

My wife took me last night for my birthday. Decided to try it as an alternative to other steak houses (you know the one…).
Décor and ambiance is quite nice.
Hostess seated us, and provided us menu. My menu has some kind of stick residue on it.
Server, Michael came over, made mention of the drink specials. Ordered a Whiskey Sour and my wife had a pink lemonade. Both drinks, quite good.
We shared the Lobster Scallops and Gorgonzola Dip. Not bad — recommend you ask for Lemon along with it. Very Rich.
My wife and I both decided on the Dinner, she chose the Gorgonzola Filet, I picked the prime rib. My wife went with the Fries and Vegetables, me, Wasabi Mash and a loaded baked potato.
We also both decided on the Cesar salad.
The Cesar was horrible. So much garlic that it over powers everything. Michael tried to replace it with a lighter dressing. It only tasted like a watery salad.
When the mains came, what were were expecting was a well prepared plate. The fries were well above a normal portion and were shoestring cut. Something maybe more suited for a take out burger place. The Demi Glaze red wine reduction tasted charred and burnt. The premium Gorgonzola sauce amounted to maybe a table spoon. The bowl of fries had most of it caked on the side.
The seasonal vegetables were green beans. Boiled, and squeaky.
The prime rib was incredibly fatty and the 1800 degree sear had no impact due to the fact that it sears gristle.
Michael tried to make things right. He was a great server. The restaurant let him down. The table salt shaker was broken, no side plates ready on our table. Michael had the manager come over (who never introduced himself). He squatted down and told us about the 1000 positive ratings the Chop restaurant had received. As my wife was explaining her experience, he interrupted her to find out my thoughts. Incredibly dismissive.
He said I want to make this right… he came back with a 3 piece dessert (mini crème brûlée with berries, a chocolate tort and and a bundt cake with ice cream). Nothing incredible, but, not bad.
He offered to be his guest the next time we came in. Left us with a card and a $ 50 certificate off the next meal.
As far as making my 44^th birthday memorable, it was. Unfortunately, not for the right reasons.
With as many other steak houses out there, I don’t believe that I will be making Chop a priority on places to go.

The waiters were ok but customer service akills need to improve drastically. My wife ordered a steak well done and they brought a steak that was completely burnt! 2 other people from my party had to return their burgers because they were also burnt including their bacon. The server got an attitude when we were sending the items back and at times rolled their eyes. The manager was good as she covered one of the burgers. Will not eat here again. Go to the Keg!

Food is gross and over priced. Dessert was good tho. Wasabi in the mash potatoes, over seasoned. Trying to be «high end» I’d rather go to the keg! Don’t waste your money here!

Delicious Hamburger, juicy baby back ribs + lobster mashed potato and excellent Fettuccine with lobster.
Good service!

I give it one star because the bar and bartenders are great. Food is low grade dog food. Don’t believe the 1800 degrees, steaks come out cold. Go for drinks, that’s it.

Went for my wife’s birthday dinner. I had been here before for appetizers and drinks, but never a meal.
For a Saturday night, it did not seem busy at all. We sat in the lounge area as opposed to the dining room as we thought it would be a bit more lively, but it was just us and another couple dining already. I hope its is busier normally.
The food was great. Smoked rib eye was awesome. I would go back again. A bit pricey compared to The Keg considering it was an almost empty restaurant. I was anticipating a full Keg-​like dining atmosphere so I guess I was kind of surprised that it was not as busy as I was expecting. Décor and everything was great, a bit cold, but we were probably seated next to a vent or something.
Nonetheless, I enjoyed the food and the drinks. I would come back again.

Excellent all around from first greeting, fast drinks, salads came immediately, great server and management, steaks were great and the desert «sampler» was like 3 full deserts. This will become a new regular spot for us !

First off I want to start off by saying I’ve been to the Chop location on Dixon road a few times for dinner and fell in love with this steak house and their concept. So when a friend asked for a recommendation in Burlington to have a special occasion party, I suggested here. It’s an elevated premium casual dining restaurant.
I came out to this restaurant today for a special occasion at lunch time. So my review will be for lunch items.
The first thing I noticed was the eclectic design art work in the front entrance (hooks, knives etcetera all framed on one side) interesting conversation pieces. Gold painted tree stumps-that’s cool. The «designer» in me was impressed. They have also different lighting chandeliers throughout the main dining area.
Service from the moment you step foot is very friendly & quick. Our server was attentive & knowledgeable about the menu.
We ordered a few apps: shrimp cocktail was very good in the traditional steak house style (boiled & served with horseradish sauce), Yorkie sliders (these are Yorkshire pudding buns with primerib in a sauce & dollop of horseradish cream) wow! Amazing — I want to order those again! We also had two types of chicken wings, one with hot sauce, the other Parmesan bacon sauce (this one was my favourite). I love how the wings are put on a metal skewer — reminds me of a churascaria. Points scored for that. We tried the steak bites –these are tender morsels of steak chunks that came with two dipping sauces; a creamy one & red tangy one. Can’t remember the actual names of the sauces. But the bites were good even on their own. We also had the mussels in lime cream sauce –omg! Winner– the sauce is light yet creamy & mussels cooked perfectly tender.
For my main lunch item I had the veal Parmigiana sandwhich and had a bowl of French onion soup as a side. This thing was delicious and tender. The bun is soft (softer than a Italian bun) but hey we are in a upscale casual place so who needs all those crumbs flying on the table. Lol — the French onion soup was very rich & cheesy & full of flavour.
The open faced prime rib sandwich was also ordered by my mate and he enjoyed it– he had fries with it. It was very filling & delicious as per him.
I would come back here again when I’m out this way. By the way I call it Burlington but this location is on the border of Oakville & Burlington, so that’s why Unilocal has this one listed as Oakville.
Oh had a Hendricks Gin and tonic (my pic says him-​lol) it was smooth and love the presentation. Yum

Very busy but clears out fast by 930 even on weekend. Meals were good, not great. Appetizers are mediocre — steak bite appetizer was very tough. 3 of 4 steaks were nice. The small filet mignon was not good. Good wine list and Hendricks and tonic was excellent. Servers try hard, some dressed to the point where they looked uncomfortable. Odd location attached to a motel called Sandman, which has been under construction for 4 years. Construction in restaurant was also sketchy. An alternative to the Keg.
