My wife and I stopped in or dinner tonight. Chops looked very nice, and there were only a few people at inside tables, and one open table outside. Unfortunately, we too were sent away because we did not have reservations. I honestly thought she was kidding. If the hostess had done it politely, we may have thought it was strange, but would try again another time. She was rude. She didn't say sorry, but try us again, or anything nice. It was embarrassing . . . Not only will we not return, we will tell our friends about our experience. read more

No shit these folks serve seriously good food, take awesome care of you in the face of all odds on a Sisters/Bend tourist weekend, a night after feeding all the forest fire firefighters. Major Kudos to the service team (with 3 trainees!), the kitchen staff who know how to cook a steak better than anyone in town, and the ownership team for making it all happen. Five stars and that's a rarity in my book. read more

We've only visited the lounge in Chops for appetizers, drinks and live music. All the appetizers I've tried are delicious. We decided to have dinner in the restaurant tonight. We both started with shitake mushroom soup. It was excellent. Light, creamy and it almost tasted as though it had chopped turnips or collard greens. The soup did have some chopped green stuff in it, but i forgot to ask the waiter what it was. I ordered the salmon with risotto and W ordered the steak. I don't eat beef, pork or duck, so the only menu items I could choose from the menu were salmon and the roasted squash. When I spend over $30 on a meal, I prefer that it be something that I can't easily cook at home, so I was disappointed with the one fish and vegetarian choices. I will say that my salmon was cooked to perfection (although I can cook salmon perfectly at home), but they plated it with quinoa instead of risotto. The main thing I was looking forward to was the risotto, so I wasn't happy. I told the waiter about the mistake and he told me that the risotto was not ready, but that he could take my plate and replace it when it was ready. I was a little frustrated that I wasn't able to eat at the same time as W, but I have tried my best to be patient today, which is something that doesn't come easily to me when I have one encounter after another with dumb people, but I digress. I also wonder if the chef just put the quinoa on my plate instead of the risotto since it wasn't ready. If that is the case, it is totally unacceptable. I just can't imagine making that mistake. SO, my new plate with my old salmon was delivered about 10 minutes later with risotto instead of quinoa. The risotto was delicious, so I was happy. W thought his steak was perfect, but he was served cubed potatoes, instead of the mashed potatoes listed on the menu. He just accepted his plate as it was though. Our server was very attentive and understanding, so I don't blame him for the mistakes. The food could be more creative, but it is delicious. Although the server apologized for the mistake with the quinoa, in most upscale restaurants the manager would personally apologize and offer a dessert or drink to compensate for the time I wasn't able to eat with my husband and the inconvenience of having to have a mistake corrected. At the very least a fresh piece of salmon should have been plated with the new risotto because who wants cold salmon on hot risotto? None of those things happened. W still thinks we should return for dinner again, but I think we should stick to the lounge food and the music. The lounge appetizers are creative, delicious and reasonably priced. read more

Doesn't even deserve a star , brought my husband here for his birthday dinner wanting a fine dinning experience what a DISAPPOINTMENT!!!!!!! My poor husband ordered a steak medium rare , it came out looking like an old wore out over cooked shoe , then when we complained they bought out ANOTHER steak undercooked to the point I think it was still alive , the waiter was very blaze about the whole thing I'm sure it wasn't the first time he's had complaints and FYI he was the only server there running around white cloth tables and the lounge slash bar, the EXTENSIVE wine list is outrageous compared to the menu ,three appetizers, two salads, and four main courses , I'm not a person that leaves reviews BUT I think people should know before u fork over 50 bucks for a rib eye that looked like it came from the dollar general which should not be an issue since sisters meat market is ACROSS the street with top quality meat , I should have gone to REDMOND BRICKHOUSE they never disappoint.... read more

If it were possible to rate this place a zero I would. The staff was rude and inattentive, the food was substandard and tasteless and the bartender didn't know how to make a cocktail that is taught in bartender 101 class. Very disappointed as we like to support local business but it seems this particular establishment doesn't care what the local think. Have been there several times hoping for improvement but have not seen any. Will not be frequenting or recommending this restaurant. read more

Aside from some confusion as to whether they were open or not, we decided to take a chance and go for my delayed birthday dinner. We enjoy sitting at the bar for our meal, so that's what we did! Sonya was our bartender/server and she was sweet as pie and knowledgeable about the food and wine. The wine list is extensive and varied. LOTS of NW wines which delights us. This happened to be a revised menu serving Italian food this night only. The salad was fresh arugula, grapefruit pieces with shaved onions and cheese with a tasty vinegar dressing. Wow! Lit my tastebuds right up. We also had pork/ beef meatballs! They were just dandy with a light and fresh marinara sauce. No complaints here!!! Our suggestions to reduce the confusion would be to include their hours of operation in their voice message and to let Yelp know the same. Also, on their website, the Make Reservation link said no reservations available for the entire evening which made us wonder if maybe the circus had come to town and they were slammed! We are glad we took the chance and will come back. read more

Food was very good!! We were very happy with our meal and service. I had the bore and my wife had the halibut. We wish it was a little warmer in the restaurant and more info such as menus on the website. If you are planning on eating here make sure to get a reservation. It's upper to high end dining. read more

Chops Bistro - Steakhouses Near Me - Sisters, Oregon

See all

Thank goodness for local, lively, friendly great restaurants like Chop Bistro in Sisters. Want a delicious meal, come here. In season dynamic menu that changes regularly. Our server Brian was exceptional with an excellent wine recommendation to pair with our perfectly cooked fillet and cioppino. The live music lent a perfect background to our dining experience. It was interesting that a large wedding party next to us was extremely rude and impatient on a busy Friday night. We found that even after they walked out on their bill ( really, at a local place during COVID!? some people are the worst) the server and the owner Tracy were still warm and wonderful. The lounge and bar are a little separated from the restaurant seating so if you want more lively with drinks go to the lounge, and if you want quiet and intimate with background music eat in the main dining room. Also has street front outdoor dining if you want downtown Sisters atmosphere. We will be having celebrations and great Friday nights at Chop. Don't miss out on this Central Oregon gem. read more

On a recent trip to Sisters in late July, we had one of our finest meals ever at Chops Bistro. We dined on a Saturday evening with a reservation and were seated promptly. After a round of wine and drinks, both couples ordered Plank Steak and Steelhead and mixed the dishes for a "Surf and Turf". The waiter, Peter, was outstanding and even told us that he would be serving a big party but would try to keep his eye on us. The food arrived right on time, and the entrees were delicious. The Plank cut was lean and very similar to a filet in tenderness. The Steelhead, a local fish, was magnificent, a cross between swordfish and salmon. We also met the owner, as she came by the table to say hello. Our dining partner told us the story of how the owner served fire fighters during the big recent fire north of sisters. She donated food and service to these brave firemen. This was one of the finest dinners we have had anywhere, and we will definitely visit on our next trip to Central Oregon. read more

Chops has maxing serivice. Also, if you want to be transited out of cold, central Oregon and into the tropical paradise of Hawaii, sit in the bar of Chops on a Saturday night and listen to Bill's Hawaiian melodies transfer you to the island life. I NEVER write reviews. Let alone positive ones as I'm annoyingly picky. But you won't be disappointed. read more

Was there for Italian night, had chicken parmigiana with garlic bread. Awesome food and reasonably priced. Huge wine list also reasonably price also. Also my friend shrimp fettuccine, again great food and reasonably priced. Will be come a regular. read more

Had sweet pepper gazpacho today- delicious! Also Caesar salad and veggie burger. It was all tasty. The restaurant interior was beautiful. We ate outside, and very relaxing and peaceful. The veggie burger was ordered in a "lettuce wrap" vs bun, and the only negative thing I'd say is it was not a wrap but merely a piece of romaine lettuce plopped on top. Definitely could work on presentation there. Usually a wrap is a piece of head lettuce skillfully wrapped around the burger to look like it's wrapped. Not a square of romaine plopped on top of the burger so you cannot at all eat it like a burger. Otherwise, I'd say everything was amazing. I would go back again. Our waiter Daniel was nice and helpful read more

Food was delicious & well presented. Staff was warm & engaging. The filet was perfectly cooked with delightful mash potatoes & the atmosphere was welcoming. A wonderful night out. read more

If you are looking for a relaxing night on the sisters town this is the place. It's adorable interior and relaxing lounge to its cozy outdoor seating you will not be disappointed. To their impeccable wine list and wonderfully eclectic rotating menu this place is a local go to. They have live music on the weekends in the lounge area where you can find locals and visitors mingling over a few cocktails and starters. A must go to spot in sisters. Make sure to make a reservation in advance. read more

My wife and I celebrated our 44th wedding anniversary yesterday by dining at Chop's Bistro. It was the worst dining experience we have had in 44 years! The service was incredibly horrible. The restaurant was half full. There were only two waiters - one was under 20 and could not serve alcohol, and the other was completely incompetent. She gave the impression of it being her first day at work - but sadly she has worked at Chops Bistro for over a year. Very unprofessional and lots of mistakes. The service was terrible but the food was worse. We each splurged on a $50 entry of prime rib and shrimp. We did not order drinks, salads, or appetizers. We were finally served our dinner an hour and a half after we placed the order. The meat was inedible. Super overcooked and tough. The potatoes and broccolini were also overcooked. Horrible experience and a complete waste of money. DON'T EVER EAT AT THIS RESTAURANT!!! WORST DINING EXPERIENCE WE HAVE HAD IN 44 YEARS!!!!! WE WASTED $116.00 ON THIS HORRIBLE DINING EXPEREINCE.!!!!! NOTE - WAS FORCED TO AT LEAST CHECK 1 STAR FOR RATING. THIS RESTAURANT DESERVED NO STARS!!!! read more

This was a great place in the small town of Sisters. I placed a reservation for my wife and I, as I always do whenever I'm able to. In this case I didn't really need to, when we got there it was completely empty. Brian, who I gathered was one of the owners, was fantastic. He was friendly, welcoming, and attentive. First things first, the complimentary bread and butter was fantastic, perhaps the best restaurant bread I've ever had, we had to get a second basket. As Brian explained, his wife was a big proponent of not wasting calories on mediocre free bread, so they intentionally made it taste as great as they could to make it worth it. Our meals were equally as delicious, cooked to perfection. Same with the dessert. We didn't have anything that wasn't great. Definitely a great place to go, next time we're in the area again we'll be sure to go back. read more

I just read that this restaurant served some of the firefighters after a local crappy fast food place refused them. GREAT WORK being part of the community! I will always seek out nice people who own local businesses over anywhere else. read more

The worst experience. Uninspired and overpriced dishes. Drinks were whatever. Salad was completely forgettable. We ordered two ribeyes to be safe ($52 each) and they were literally inedible. The toughest, lowest quality cuts of beef we've ever seen. Rubber steaks. The sides of cold mashed potatoes and undercooked green beans didn't help. We got the steaks to go and fed them to the dogs because the owner was unwilling to take them off our bill. Super awkward interaction with the wait staff. Left starving and relieved of $172, and went and got burgers and good drinks down the street. Chops is the worst. The owner needs to travel a bit and find out how good, modern restaurants operate. They're trying to be "fine dining" but failing. Some of the best food I've ever eaten was at places with the menu hand written on a chalkboard with 3-4 tables, but they put the love and attention into the cuisine without the pretense. This place is all smoke no fire. Terrible. AVOID. read more

Chef is excellent. Building is really charming with Big Fireplace and beams inside Covered patio in front with seating. Bill Keole plays guitar and sings Sunday evening with an elegant hula dancer in bar. Very fun. We had a delightful time. The owner waited on us and is a hardworking lovely gal We will return soon! read more

Absolutely excellent food and drinks, fairly priced. Do not miss the cucumber gintini (hold the simple syrup) in the bar, nor the mushroom appetizer. The pasta, boar tenderloin.....everything could not have been better. There was a bit of a wait but we weren't in a hurry and hadn't made a reservation. Once served, the staff and the owner could not have been more accommodating. This really is an amazing find in this area and well worth trying. read more

As a local resident, I have been so excited about this restaurant and so disappointed. I was hoping for a high end restaurant with some sort of sophistication. But sadly I have found the staff that is inattentive and seemingly uncaring, this must come from management. I've traveled many continents and visited high end restaurants that are gracious and kind. It is disappointing in such a kind environment as Sisters, OR to find such arrogance in a substandard meal. read more

The food was absolutely delicious! We had a late reservation so they were out of several things which tells me they only serve the freshest food possible. Very nice environment and live music in the lounge. read more

Stopped in for dinner by chance. Completely surprised, a very nice place. I had the watermelon salad and duck breast, both were excellent. Preparation was superb. Service was outstanding as well. A must do if you are in the area. read more

Wonderful dinner with my parents in downtown Sisters. I had a pork chop that was cooked to perfection and my wife had an excellent salmon dinner. The only problem was that we ran out of time and had to leave before a second bottle of wine. read more

Always wanted to try Chops, but I had to wait till I celebrated my 60th birthday. It was a wonderful dining experience. Our host/waiter "Brian" was extremely attentive. The Scallops appetizer was tender seasoned perfectly. My wife ordered the fillet while I ordered the Steelhead. Both were prepared superbly. To top it of my wife ordered the creme brûlée for desert and they brought me a complimentary Pumpkin Cheesecake. Throughout the evening we could hear a local entertainer Bill Keale singing his Hawaiian styled musical interpretations as he performed in the lounge. All in all a wonderful evening. Would not think twice about returning. read more

Wow~! We have eaten here several times with family and friends and each time the owner has no clue who we are. Tonight was Valentines Day and the menu was not to our liking at all. Coffee was lacking flavor and the served salad before the meal and then with the meal in their 4 course menu, odd. Price for what we received was WAY OVER PRICED. Paid $75 a person for about a $30 meal. Service is always slow but being local we usually aren't in a hurry but not good for people that are expecting good service. Won't be in any hurry to rush back anytime soon. I guess The Porch is our #1 place in Sisters now.. read more

Outstanding food, drink, atmosphere, and service Take the casual route - Sit in the lounge and have Drew take care of you. Move to some classics 70s Rock while enjoying a delicious meal and smooth drink read more

We had dinner at Chops with family last week and 5 of us got food poisoning. We narrowed the source to the scallops which were either bad or had been cross contaminated during preparation. It took the group a week to recover and we almost had to take the kids to the hospital. I decided to post a review because the response from the owner of the Bistro was so poor. They have not followed up with us on any investigation or what they might do to prevent this in the future. We dine in Sisters on a regular basis and will not be back to Chops. read more

Our meal was delicious. We ordered the roasted beet salads, filet mignon, pork chop, and the butternut squash bowl. Moist, tender meat with tasty reductions. I did not taste the squash bowl, but it was enjoyed by one of our dinner mates. The setting is open, tastefully done, service friendly, and efficient. If I lived near here I would eat here again, and again. read more

We showed up on Thursday at 6:30 without a reservation but Tracy said they would fit us in! I appreciated the soft lighting, beautiful glassware, white tablecloths, pretty silverware, and soft cloth napkins. We asked Brian for cocktail recommendations and I was introduced to the pomegranate drop while my husband chose an old fashioned - both were wonderful (well, all three - I ordered another pomegranate drop!). Dinner was superb - salad with goat cheese and pear vinaigrette, crab cakes with citrus aioli, and ribeye with mashed potatoes and roasted brussel sprouts. We chose the chocolate pate for dessert - richer than mousse and accented with three types of berries on the plate. Everything was delicious, the presentation was spectacular, and Tracy and Brian were relational and professional. Thank you for a beautiful anniversary dinner! read more

This place looks great on the outside, but it is hands down the slowest service ever! We waited over 45 minutes for our meal and there were only a few couples in the restaurant. The chicken was tender, but not worth the price. Not going back... read more

Went there for dinner with my husband. We both had the Filet Mignon and it was the best we have had in a long time. Cooked to perfection, served over little potatoes with a demi glaze and broccolini. We both started with a salad, my husband had the Caeser and it was a big serving and I had the Kale salad that is absolutely fabulous. Presentation of everything was A+!! Service was great! Classy, romantic, music, and fireplace...what more could you ask for. And the price was fitting for such a great evening. read more

Had a wonderful diner at Chops for my birthday. Both food and service couldn't have been better. I had the Ahi and was seared just perfect. We had 8 in our group and everyone was happy and can't wait to go back. read more

I was in a party of eight and we stopped in just to see if there might be an opening for us. It smelled delicious!! We were on vacation mode and should have called ahead, but didn't (our mistake). It took a few minutes for the server(?) to acknowledge us and he was less than inviting. He let us know that it would be an hour and a half wait as some guests would be moving from one dining area to another. We discussed leaving and it seemed as though he was relieved to have us leave...as though we were an irritant. Not a problem sir....we will find a more customer-friendly spot to spend our money. Perhaps a reservation would have made a difference, but customer service matters. read more

First of all, no website to see a menu. Kinda important during covid when everything is to go. It took 3 calls to get a text photo of a menu. We finally ended up just driving there to order. The building was billowing with smoke from the kitchen. Gross! To top that off, chef wasn't wearing a mask...we all have to wear masks and dine outside and to-go, but chef doesn't have to? Ok. These things alone should have made me go away, but I was fucking starving and the menu looked good, so we ordered. I asked the hostess why chef didn't have to wear a mask, she replied "he's hot, it's 101 degrees back there." Uhh no wonder there's so much smoke from the cooking. And whatever. Wear the fucking mask, he's handing our food! Anyway, we get out to go, arrive home, there's a hair in our fries, a bug in the soup, the duck was HARD to bite through, and my salad was missing tomatoes. The burger was good. But other than that, I was so turned off by the whole ordeal, I ended up going to Cibelles in town for a calzone and a FRESH loaded salad...ugh. read more

Filet Migon excellent. Kale salad boring and dry. Service lacking expertise and friendliness. Comfortable and cozy environment. Prices expensive. Wine selection good. read more

Our server Daniel was excellent!! Our beverage glasses were always full. We called about 15 min before our arrival and they had our patio table waiting. Our food was excellent!!! Best pulled pork sandwich I've ever had. Bacon wrapped scallops were yummy as well. We will be back ! read more

We have tried Chops 4 times now but tonight was very disappointed with most everything, coffee was horrible, meal portions were small and needed flavor, soup was great though.. Paid $150 for about a $60 meal. If this was the first time we tried Chops Bistro we wouldn't go back. We won't be back for a while if again that's for sure. read more

What a pleasant surprise to find a 5 star class restaurant in Sisters. We have been fortunate to travel and experience some of the finest food and service in the Pacific NorthWest (Portland & Seattle). We had heard good things about Chops but never expected it was of 5 star status. The food was more than excellence, close to superb. The wait staff was most efficient, pleasant & perisonalble. We were seated by the fireplace and our table had a fresh red rose. Excellent wine list and outstanding deserts. The "Beet soup" was to cry for and the Filet was as fine as I have ever had. Everything was neat, clean and very well done. The best part is that the atmosphere is "Central Oregon, not big city" as it should be. It was a quiet and very pleasant atmosphere although the waitress did explain it can be noisy & crowded during tourist season. I strongly suggest you call ahead and make reservations as this restaurant is not a "drop in for a quick meal" type place. Treat this establishment with the respect it deserves and it will fulfill your most demanding culinary desires. It's neither cheap nor quick so if you don't have a full pocketbook and two hours for dinner move on. I would compare the food and service to Salties and The Palisades in Seattle but with that wonderful Central Oregon ambiance. Enjoy! read more

We have had an amazing dinner 3 times in the past 45 days. The owner is a very hardworking woman, generally waiting tables herself. Food is incomparable. Never have we had anything that wasn't top notch. Will continue to be our go to for wonderful food & atmosphere. If you happen by on a Friday night you will be delighted with music by Tony!! read more
