    Corn
    Ashley J.

    Went to The Chop House on UGA graduation day, so it was extremely busy, but overall the service was still great. Our food came out quickly, which honestly impressed me considering how packed everything in Athens was that day. My steak did come out at the wrong temperature initially, but the staff handled it really well. They immediately made me a brand new steak and even sent me home with a full to-go meal, which I really appreciated. Mistakes happen, but good customer service is what matters, and they definitely made it right. The food overall was really good. The deviled eggs always hit, the creamed spinach was delicious, and the loaded potato was solid. The corn had a smoky flavor to it that caught me off guard at first, but it was still sweet and flavorful. Overall, great service, good food, and they handled an issue professionally, especially during such a busy graduation weekend.

    Seafood fettuccine Alfredo Pasta
    Courtney N.

    Overall a good experience at The Chop House, my only 2 dislikes were that my Seafood Fettuccine Alfredo pasta could have used some seasoning (everything kinda blended together and tasted the same). And it was either the noise level or our server was just soft spoken, but we could just barely hear her. We went around 6pm for Mother's Day, so the lighting was perfect, as well as the rest of our food.

    The steaks were seasoned and cooked to perfection. The service was fast & efficient. The ambiance can best be described as "linen table cloth" style....well appointed tables and service. I highly recommend this establishment!

    Visited the Chop House to celebrate a house closing. We had a 7:00 reservation to sit at the bar. The restaurant is very nice and has a steak house feel to it. We had a wonderful server who took great care of us all night. I ordered the prime rib. It was delicious and perfectly medium cooked. The loaded potato was full of sour cream, chives, cheese, and bacon. My wife got the New York strip. She had it Pittsburgh style, seared on the outside and medium rare on inside. First came out a little rare but was corrected by the kitchen. We both loved our corn brûlée. Overall a nice celebration meal.

    I like the deviled eggs with the piece of bacon in it. The shrimp & crab cake combo is ok. I got a grilled shrimp from my friend's plate to eat with my salad & it was good. The crab cake is more bread than I care for but it's flavorful. JA liked her sirloin steak & mashed potatoes. The calamari & fried shrimp was good & I also took a couple of those shrimp to eat with my salad. I think JO liked the fettucine ok but will probably try something else next time. I prefer the lunch prices! I had the lunch combo of chopped salad with a voodoo chicken taco, which I really liked both. The server was nice and the ambiance is perfect. This is my favorite spot in Athens so far.

    Decided to try chops after graduation night because they were the only place that was taking/had reservations. The atmosphere of Chops is very upscale--dim lighting, profession yet friendly staff. It's a shame the food didn't match up the ambiance. I ordered the catch of the day which was the mahi mahi on rice pilaf and a side of loaded baked potato. Mahi Mahi was salty and dry which was sad because the rice pilaf had so much potential. Was not a fan of this fish at all, and everyone who ordered it at the table agreed. My friend ordered the rib eye which j tried a piece of and that was pretty decent. The only thing I truly enjoyed was the loaded baked potato. For appetizers we had the shrimp and calamari. Once again, very salty almost distractingly salty. I'm such a calamari fan but I did not enjoy this. I tried the Southern Belle to drink, sweet but strong. I would order it again if I wasn't driving. Overall, for this to be classified as an "upscale" steakhouse, the food was very lackluster. It gives very much LongHorns with an expensive price tag.

As it is, I'd still give them a 4.75 stars for such a lovely experience. I would still say you NEED to eat here if you are here on Sunday! Just be warned to wear not slip shoes! They actually take reservations for Sunday brunch, so that's already a plus. When we were running a bit late, Indie was truly a joy to talk with, and she made the change without a hiccup! Once we got there, she was even more welcoming and got us seated in no time. Before I explain my concern, let me make it clear that we will certainly be back when we visit Athens! The location is so close to the UGA campus it's a no-brainer. There was plenty of street parking around, including handicap, so it's easy to get to. While the front entrance is almost hilariously plain and non-descript, the interior is really beautiful!! I felt like we walked into a The Great Gatsby. My daughter was tickled by the ever-changing ticker sign over the bar. Everyone loved the stained glass and deep colors. Even the bathrooms were like being at Grand Central Station in the 20's. And the food!!! We tried all the classic Southern Soul Food staples, and they did NOT disappoint! From the fried green tomatoes, to the shrimp & grits, to an enormous French Toast, they put their foot in it!! Bravo! I have to note that the fried chicken is truly crave-able--crispy, juicy, & flavorful!! The fried green tomatoes were cornbread crispy and delicious! Fair warning that they do have a bit of a bite to them, so check with your littles. We appreciated that they offered egg whites in any dish with eggs, but I wish there was a non-pork substitute for some dishes. There's a vegan selection, but it's just not the same, so we didn't try it. Maybe next time! I lived my goat cheese omelette, and the portion was big enough I got to take some home with me. Just wonderful food all around. The beignets were divine! And it ended up being my daughter's birthday dessert/app. And then we just kept ordering more. Cannot say enough great things about our server--and my mind goes blank because I wish I could remember her name!! She was great the entire time for our whole 9-top group. She kept the waters filled, she cleared plates along the way, she was welcoming and engaging, and we just all enjoyed being here because of it. While we waited for some of our party to arrive, we were directed to a beautiful lobby adjacent to the restaurant. Unfortunately, the floor was exceptionally slippery--like an oily kind of slippery that is not conducive to an 88-year-old using a walker kind of slippery. I was a little worried for my F & MIL. The elevator is so far from where we needed to be that it wasn't worth the risk, so we chose to go up the 2 steps at the front entrance. Luckily for us, everyone was able to move around with care this time.

We were seated immediately at a bar next to the front porch with a view of milledge. We both ordered mocktails, a fresh lemonade and cherry lime spritz, both were delicious and although we don't drink I can bet my bottom dollar their cocktails are crafted and amazing. We started with corn fritters, raw oysters and seasonal peach salad. The only thing I didn't like was the chili in the peach salad, I heard another table request it without so I guess that's an option but I believe in tasting it how it's served. For entrees we did the fresh pasta dish and the fish. Both were creative and divine. The filling for the pasta was silky and the touch of nutmeg or cinnamon in the sauce made it next level. The fish was perfectly cooked and paired nicely with the coconut sauce. For dessert we chose a cherry cheesecake and peanut butter chocolate cake with grape jelly ice cream. I'm not sure if they have a pastry chef but it's been some time since I've had a dessert crafted with so much love. The quality latte we drank with them was the cherry on top.

Nestled in a gorgeous building that was once a residential house, the restaurant has a gorgeous and cozy ambience that makes you feel like you're visiting with friends from the moment you enter.

It sounds simple, but it's truly elevated. Right now, the sweet potato brown butter pierogies are absolutely mouth-watering, and the hazelnut bread pudding is rich and a perfect blend of sweetness and cream. The waitstaff is top notch and you'll receive better, more attentive service here than at restaurants with much larger price tags in Atlanta. They also have an impressive cocktail program and wine list. On the "it's the little things" list, the candles 5 & 10 uses in the restroom are outstanding! They sell them and they're spendy, but worth it.

A chaotic period, and when my brother and/or I were in town to help out with these exhausting and time-consuming tasks, finding quick, reasonably priced, somewhat healthy, and hopefully tasty food was challenging indeed. I unfortunately didn't discover Maepole until 2025, but it nicely ticked off those boxes. Maepole is basically a "fast casual," Southern-inflected "bowl" place, with a much heavier emphasis on the nutritious and fresh than is typical of traditional Southern cooking. You start with a base, just like at Chipotle or Cava--greens, sweet potatoes, or quinoa, etc.--and top with veggies or salads, and, if you prefer a protein, you can add chicken, pork, or tofu. Or you can just go full-on veggie plate. Top with a flavorful sauce; my favorites were the spicy avocado and lemon herb. My general impression of the food quality was that it wasn't quite at the five-star level some of the time--veggies weren't always cooked to perfection, for instance--but the general experience and value, as well as the bold flavors, argue for bumping this rating up to five stars. Plus, every time I think about Maepole, I sure wish my current city had an option like it.

I enjoyed the salad way more than I thought I would. The spicy avocado dressing is YUMMY! The greens were cooked to perfection - another shocker. The edamame crunch, tofu and crunchies were just as delicious. I will visit the Atlanta location just to try the fritters! A wonderfully healthy and scrumptious delight !
