My husband and I went to the Chop House in LSL tonight to celebrate our anniversary. All was well until the bill came. Their grouper special: a piece of grouper, plus either 3 shrimp or 3 scallops, and 2 sides: $43!! I asked the waitress why she didn’t tell us the price when she described the special (I would never have ordered it if I had known it was $43), she said they only tell you prices if you ask. So I am posting this to advise you that if you order a special at the Chop House, ask the price before ordering!! We will never go there again after this experience.

Sorry, but we always ask price on specials, if not listed on a board or menu.
If you look at their menu, there are items at market price. Would you not ask what the market price was before you ordered? Their dinners are in the $30 range and up.

Thank You for the heads up.
Happy Anniversary

We live at the beach part of the year and I frequent the local fish market. Grouper is usually about $23-26 a pound depending on when you buy it and what type of grouper.

For that price hope it was a good grouper

...this is one of my (many) pet peeves.

1. Stating the price of 'specials' should really be standard practice.
2. I always felt that it sounded "cheap" to ask the price of a Special.
2a "Market Price" is one thing, but a standard 'special' is another.
2b. One can feel 'cheap' asking, especially in a Group lunch/dinner.
3. But I'd rather be looked upon as "cheap" than feel 'gouged', as the OP.

re #2, perhaps it's a psycholgical matter employed for profit $$$.

Buyer beware, and don't be shy.

Are they not proud of the price they charge? No. Not a selling point, so . . . Several restaurants have opened and closed in this location over the last several years. What's the "over & under" on this one???

[Maryland04]

This not a naeighborhood dive, get real.

[RDhot]

Why didN’t you ask the price? I never order a special or anything that I do not know the price of first.

[Rwirish]

Price sounds about right for Grouper.

Maybe time for new glasses. The name is “Chop House” not “Cheap House”.

Happy anniversary
