Went past the Chop House last night, looked like they were having a soft opening. Driving past in the golf cart there was the distinct aroma of a steak house. That is a good sign.

If you want to have a general discussion about where to get good steaks, feel free to start another thread.


Anybody eaten at the Chop House yet???

:icon_wink: I agree..... looks like someone else is not paying attention. :oops:

Soft opening for family, friends equals to not open to public until tomorrow.
After all family and friends are not going to post all the things they did not go right during the nightmare of first week of business. Kinks take awhile to smooth out.

They just opened a chop house in northwest suburban Chicago. My kid sent this picture of his meal. Mouth watering photo. Can't wait for LSL one to open.

Chop House at Lake Sumter is not part of The Chop House Chain. The restaurant in TV is independently owned and not the same menu.

Will that meal fit into my 1000 calorie per day diet?

Perhaps if you just gnaw on the bone and eat the broccoli plain. [emoji6][emoji3052]

I know. There must be a thousand "chop houses" around the country. It's a generic name to denote a certain type of restaurant. Some are in a local chain but most are independent. The one pictured is called 815 Chop House (815 is the area code for that location). Open a month and doing well.

This thread has run amok. Can the Moderator lock this tread? Then someone can open a new thread at 11 a.m. on Monday when Chop House at Lake Sumter opens!

Wish they along with Bluefin would take reservation for two. I get it but they could ask for a credit card number to hold the reservation. If the party of two is a no show, they then charge the card a fixed fee, starting at $25.00 and up. That will dissuade no shows. Other popular and upscale restaurants have this in place.

I tried the steak at Lopez a month after it opened. A big disappointment for a $32.00 NY Strip. If you want to judge a restaurant's food quality and chef's ability, order a steak.

You are correct if you can’t cook a rare to mid rare correctly the rest is just down hill

Not to be confused with the Cambodian Amok.

Amok is a major national culinary tradition in Cambodia, and also popular in Laos and Thailand. The Thai version uses the same Thai curry paste as red curry. Amok is thick soup cooked with fish, meat, vegetables, eggs and coconut milk.
