While in Cleveland for the ACEC IT Forum 2026 conference at the Hilton Downtown, on Sunday evening, I had a chance to eat at Cleveland Chop with several colleagues. It was only a few blocks away from the Hilton Downtown Hotel. We had a reservation for 7:00 P.M on a Sunday evening. I liked how convenient the location is. If you're in downtown visiting some of the historic locations, this is a great spot to stop by for a meal. The atmosphere was so high energy because there was a Cleveland Browns game that same evening! The menu has a wide range of steaks, seafood, burgers, salads, and other options. I ended up ordering the French Onion Soup for a starter. There was supposed to be cornbread, but our table never got it though. I enjoyed the French Onion Soup. There was two small pieces of bread inside the soup. There was plenty of cheese and the broth was quite flavorful! I had ordered my filet mignon medium to well done, unfortunately, it was cooked rare. The team member assisting our table went ahead and took the steak back to the kitchen and had the steak recooked until it was medium to well done. It was about 15 minutes before it came back out, luckily, I was still eating my soup. The cheesecake was awesome for dessert. I only ate a few bites of it since I was pretty full from the steak! I'm glad I had a chance to eat at Cleveland Chop. It was my first time in Cleveland before and the restaurant was a lot of fun. read more

I tried the southwest salad . It was yummy. Great price , great experience. Food was of good quantity and ambience was beautiful. It was an official lunch ... it was quiet and nice . read more

Amazing!!! The steak cigars were hands down one of the best appetizers I've ever had. Our meals were fantastic, and adding the house gnocchi was the best decision we made... absolutely unbeatable. What really made the night special was our waitress (I wish I could remember her name!). She went above and beyond the entire evening. I casually mentioned my fiancé's birthday was a few days ago, and she surprised us with a complimentary brownie to celebrate. Such a thoughtful touch that meant a lot. The whole experience was a 10/10 from start to finish. If I'm ever back in Cleveland, I'll definitely be returning! read more

This was very good but very pricey. The sour patch kids Martini tasted exactly like a sour patch kid and there was even a gummy in the drink. The steak was probably one of the best restaurant steaks I've had. The shrimp scampi was delicious! We wanted to sit on the patio because it was a nice evening and the waiter was still very attentive to us even though we chose to not sit in the main dining area. read more

We were in Cleveland for a few days and wanted a great steak dinner, The filets were good, but not great and medium-rare was over-cooked. At 6:00 the place wasn't busy but we only saw the server to take our order and bring wine and food. Finally, when the check came, I asked for information about the restaurant, the building, the history. Her response was disappointing, much like our dinner, read more

The service was amazing. The staff took very good care of us. The food was amazing. I started with the best Old Fashion that I think I had ever tasted before. I had the Land & Sea and it very good. We really enjoy our visit here and will definitely be back. read more

The Cleveland Chop House is a solid steak house with an upbeat feel without requiring coat and tie. We were able to walk right in without reservations on a Friday night. Our waitress Julie was attentive and very helpful throughout the meal. Food was served quickly and spot-on as ordered. Portions were healthy portions without being outrageously over-sized. The meat was cooked exactly right and tender. Almost as good as Morton's without the super-sized bill. read more

Location not cool for parking... get there early if you wanna meter park because Valet takes them over at dinner. Service was pretty good. Not excellent but very tolerable. Tip, do a little better with asking questions when introducing yourself. Presentation of food is very good though not a lot of healthy options. My stuffed peppers had a creamy cheese (may have even BEEN cream cheese). Unexpected and unpreferred... just stick to melted cheese. Spice level was on point though. Pasta Alfredo dish was seafood and chicken was preferred due to allergies, could have sheared off a couple $, since we all know shrimp and scallops cost way more. Both salads were great. Lastly, the popular onion soup is most disappointing. I'm a French onion soup snob so a bowl of broth topped with 9lbs of cheese is UNacceptable. Where are the actual onions??? read more

Good but not perfect. Went there around noontime on a Monday. Restaurant had a few customers but not crazy busy. Went for the boneless ribeye 14oz as well as carrot cake. Steak intially came out blue rare but they immediately refired a second one that was a perfect medium rare. Very well seasoned and the meat you could tell was USDA prime from the marbling and the fatty flavor attached. Carrot cake was very good also, huge portion and only $10. Note the also offer much cheaper sandwiches and burgers around the $20 range for lunch if you don't want steak. read more

This is a "casual dining" steakhouse. They tried to make the space chic with their decor and music. Their service is attentive, our waitress was friendly. And while they charged "steakhouse" prices for the food, they didn't take the care for plating or cooking to match. We ordered their top sirloin with loaded baked potato and ribeye with Brussel sprouts. The top sirloin was on the chewier side and was rather over salted. The baked potato was strangely bland despite being loaded. The ribeye was appropriately fatty and was made perfectly. But the brussel sprout was strangely charred yet limpy. I really wanted to like this place but the food just didn't hit the right spots. Oh, there was also a door with squeaky sound that kept squeaking through the meal that was highly distracting. ‍ read more

Came here very late, while it was snowing outside, so the restaurant was very quiet. It's a big restaurant with a lot of seating space. We decided to sit on one of the booths by the bar so we could watch the game. Place has a very comfortable vibe. The waiter brought out complimentary corn bread which was really good (obviously cause it was full of butter inside and on top). It was served on a cast-iron skillet and could have easily served a table of 4 people. I had the Lobster Tail for dinner. The lobster was great and the butter was served on a tiny metal bowl that was lit over a lamp, so it tasted extra delicious. This was a nice steakhouse for dinner. Maybe next time I visit, I'll bring an appetite so that I can actually have steak here read more

This visit was lackluster at best. The food was 4 stars, nicely prepared and tasty. The overall experience was 3 stars, definitely not a fine dining experience. I booked a reservation to celebrate hubby's birthday. In the comment section, of the reservation, I mentioned that we were celebrating hubby's birthday. For reference, I booked the private dining room, a few years ago to celebrate hubby's birthday with a few close friends, and the experience was phenomenal. There was no valet parking option, even though there are valet markers within a few feet of the restaurant, we quickly found out that those markers belong to Blue Point Grille. We parked across the street, in the lot with NO posted weekend prices, just Mon-Fri, so we had NO idea how much the final rate would be. We were warmly greeted and seated by the hostess, she did ask our preference, if being seated in a booth was ok. We responded, absolutely. We were greeted a short time later by our server. Typically in nicer restaurants, the server will ask if this is a first visit, and/or if we are celebrating a special occasion. We didn't receive either inquiry. She took our wine orders, and then returned to take or starter orders. Hubby ordered the shrimp cocktail and I ordered the market greens salad. The shrimp were perfectly prepared, accompanied by cocktail sauce, with a dab of horseradish in the center, nice touch. My salad was tasty, fresh greens, apple slices, cranberries, and candied nuts, with a sherry vinaigrette. The salad was a slightly overdressed, but still tasty. We didn't receive bread with our starters, so I gently inquired, and the server mentioned that it was coming. I'm not sure that if I hadn't asked, we would have received it and because there was a wait for the bread, I expected it to be hot and fresh, it was not, it was closer to room temperature, so much so, that the honey butter on top didn't melt, and the texture was a little bit gummy. Our server took our meal order, when dropping off our starters, I wonder if there were any specials, and what was the catch of the day? Normally you don't have to ask, the information is offered. Anyway, we placed our orders. I ordered the salmon, and hubby ordered the tomahawk pork chop. Our food arrived a short time later. The salmon was generously portioned, over a beautiful bed of perfectly prepared risotto, that included, mushrooms, spinach and h. Hubby's thick cut chop, was perfectly cooked, accompanied by white cheddar mashed potatoes, the portion was just a little bit light, in proportion to the huge chop. The chop was topped with cinnamon, brown sugar apples. The apples were tasty. The restaurant should ready think about incorporating those into a dessert...yum. Hubby wanted another glass of wine, which we had to flag down our server and request. We opted out of dessert. I only order dessert, when my dining experience is good. This visit wasn't terrible, just not what I would have expected at this price point. There are so many other places, within the same price point, and within close proximity, that offer a better experience. I always tip based on the bill, and not the service, so the server is alway generously compensated, even when the experience is just ok. We probably won't return. read more

Based on visits around twice a year for 4 years, so seven to eight visits. 3.75 rounded up. This is a nice place, steak oriented menu but a few other options, old style wood paneled ambiance, good food, We come here now as a tradition on Cleveland trips a group of us take. I am from the area but moved away after college. The location is near West 6th and Saint Clair, so walking distance to the East Bank of the flats. City Vibe. We have tried most items on the menu collectively including most the appetizers. All are pretty good. The steaks have come as requested. Generally the service is not bad....but overall also not great. We have had two waiters that were exceptional. But I think they would be exceptional anywhere. Not to say hiring the right person isn't an important part of staffs performance. But there is more such as training, work culture and leadership. Not sure why, but we have had some just OK service and one below average. We are spending a fair amount when we come and expect more given the higher cost and the fact they charge a surcharge for larger groups in addition to tip (if you are selective can leave under $50 each but easily spend $75-$100+ especially with surf and turfs, appetizers and drinks each like we do.). Also, when I call for reservations, OK but not super friendly. Not a big deal, but I eat out at nice places on business a fair amount and usually the experience "feels" better. A few times I felt like they were doing me a favor. Not significant, but something is off at times. But is it worth to try it? Absolutely. Still a good place, with good food in my beloved Cleveland. read more

Visited Cleveland Chop for a work lunch and the food was great! For appetizers, we shared the loaded chicken tenders and calamari. For my entree, I ordered the turkey & ham focaccia melt with sweet potato fries and the fries were the best sweet potato fries I've had! The melt was also well prepared and satisfying. Cleveland Chop is a business casual vibe so you might feel out of place if you're not dressed as such. The service was just okay, I'm not sure if it was due to our large group (party of 8) or if the server was stretched too thin but there was a moment in time when we didn't see her for at least 10-15 minutes. That's the only reason why I wouldn't give my experience a perfect rating. read more

We were in from out of town, found this little gem on our last night. The corn bread is complementary and so yummy, but don't fill up on it. Leave room for a filet you can almost cut with your tongue. We made it a point to return there for dinner a week later before we had to fly home. Our wait staff was great, friendly but not overbearing. This will be a regular stop when I am back in Cleveland! read more

They tout themselves as "Cleveland's Favorite Steakhouse," and they delivered that big-time in a recent business dinner visit. Located in Cleveland's vibrant downtown business district, Cleveland Chop had superb options for burgers, steaks, and seafood, which delayed my order due to being way too hungry. The staff was friendly, personable, and energetic. I enjoyed the Steak Cigar appetizer, a tasty steak and cheese combination that resembled an egg roll. Served in a group of four, they were delicious with their companion cheese mustard. I whiffed and forgot to order a salad, and after seeing others enjoy theirs, I won't make that mistake again. My Farge Islands Salmon main dish was excellent, a tasty piece of fish that has spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, and risotto. Wasn't in a steak mode, and so glad that I picked this fish! GREAT service by our server, as she was both helpful and kind. read more

We went for our first visit this weekend before a show at the Q. The food was outstanding. We all had something different and thoroughly enjoyed our meals: steak, salmon; a classic menu with some contemporary flare and the service was fast! It felt like an upscale sports bar in the bar with some college football fans, but it added to the experience. The rest of the restaurant was more subdued but lively. read more

Over priced. Steak was grizzly fatty thin cut Ribeye. Life is all bout living and learning. Learn from me. Keep walking.

We had seen this place in past visits to the area but this time we decided to make a reservation for a special dinner. This place is in an old warehouse and so unique. It was a cozy booth that dimly lit but open enough to take in the environment. We started with the baked asiago dip that was mushrooms and cheese dip served with a baked scallion toast (so much flavor). My husband tried one of their award winning cockails, The Honeycomb, which was great but he had to have an old fashion as well. The menu has everything from steaks to seafood and array of sides. It was overwhelming on what to choose. I ordered the Louisiana shrimp and risotto which was beyond amazing, I just wish I had some bread to scoop the sauce. My husband chose the sea bass but ordered the side of lobster shrimp gnocchi. Our only downfall was the dessert menu, we love house made but those 2 options were not our favorite flavors. We will be back! read more

This was the first time I have been to this restaurant. My daughter and I were in town for two days and asked a friend for a recommendation for a good steak house. We realized as we headed to the restaurant that it was Valentine's Day and thought it unlikely we would get a table. While they did have several reservations, the hostess was kind enough to seat us with the agreement that we would finish within an hour and a half window of time. We were so glad we stayed! We were served in more than enough time to finish and pay without feeling rushed at all. The server was very attentive. The cornbread was the best! I ordered a special with two lobster tails. They were perfectly cooked. My daughter had the Bleu Filet. It was also excellent. The side of mushrooms and onions was the best we have ever had. I wish I could figure out how to duplicate the recipe at home. The bottom line is. The next time we have the opportunity to visit Cleveland, we will be back! read more

We visited from out of town, primarily to go to RRHoF. Over six days, we went to Cleveland Chop for three dinners and one lunch. We couldn't get enough. This spot is fantastic. Interior dining room is old wood and window charm. The background tunes are from the 40s & 50s, great stuff. The staff on all visits was Midwest nice and professional. The kitchen is turning out outstanding, high quality food. We had steaks, tomahawk chop, risotto and burgers; all perfectly cooked and full of flavor. We kidded that we would return to Cleveland just to go to this restaurant. read more

We stopped into Cleveland Chop after the Browns last preseason game on the 22nd. We hadn't been there in 7 or 8 years and grabbed a seat at the bar. Denise was our bartender/server and she was friendly and helpful. When we ordered an app and dinner, I forgot to tell her about my food allergy, but I did when the app arrived. She left to check with the kitchen and before you knew it the chef came out to talk to us. He was able to tell me everything that was in the food, and assured me that the allergen was not used in the app or our entrees. David was particularly interested in my allergy, because he's allergic to the same ingredient and has the same anaphylactic reaction. I'm not used to having a server respond to my allergy concerns at all, let alone having the chef come out to talk to me. Cleveland Chop kinda fell off our radar after COVID, but with the same great service and food as before and the extra level of care I saw on Saturday we'll be back to visiting on a regular basis. read more

I went to dinner on Saturday night. We had reservations for 7:30, when we walked in and immediately taken to a booth next to the windows. I had the fillet Diane medium.

The service was great from the valet parked to the wait staff. read more

Really enjoyed this meat and potato place. I was happy to see a unique bar setting for my solo experience. Immediately I noticed the frozen bar top that keeps your drinks cold. A lot of history in this iconic steakhouse. Loved the art, but the staff is what makes this place roll. Great menu selections for everyone's tastes. Be prepared to take some of your meal with you for a second serving. Really enjoyed the quality and the personalities. read more
