Chops Restaurant

Needs to be CHOPPED. If this was the cooking show "Chopped", I would vote for this one to be chopped on the first round. The place to hard to find, with a very tiny that is lost among the bigger signs on City Avenue. When we did find it we wanted to Valet as it was pouring rain, the valet desk was out, but we waited there ten minutes and a valet never showed up.

The restaurant is kind of a faux Ruth Chris Steak House. The space is just a big open space on the first floor of a office building, with some objects stuck on the walls to give it a steakhouse feel.

Our booth was not ready, so we waited 20 minutes in the bar. The bartenders was just rude. First they had no crushed ice and then the tap beer was not working. She seemed angry at us for ordering things that they did not have.

Our waiter was friendly and good. I really enjoyed my salad. However the other person ordered a tomato and onion salad. The tomatoes were mealy and seemed frozen and then thawed. It took us a long time to get our steaks. Someone at our table ordered a chopped sirloin, they ordered medium, but it was raw, not rare - but raw. It was charred on the outside, but looked like raw hamburger on the inside.

We skipped dessert or coffee as we just wanted to get out of this place. We were not compensated for the salad we sent back or that the meat was raw.

I have chopped Chops from my Philadelphia restaurant list and will not be a return customer.…

Chops Flops.... The ambience is inviting -- comfortable booth seating. Most of the waitstaff is cordial and professional. However, a few are shall I say, not particularly evolved. Also, one of the maitre ds is not particularly welcoming.

On my last few visits to the restaurant, the calibre of the food had deteriorated. Under the presumption that the first disappointing entre was a fluke, I allowed two more opportunities. I believe on the second visit, my date suffered food poisoning, likely from poorly handled/prepared food. On the final visit, I was presented with a seafood item which was clearly rancid and/or toxic. To describe the odor of the dish as "vile" is not to overstate.

This former fan and patron will no longer assume the risk of dining at Chops. Whatever the issues may be with Chops'

chef(s), certain waitstaff and food preparation and handling, the ownership might consider auditing and upgrading -- before they incur serious liability.…

CHOPS SHOULD BE CHOPPED. AFTER BEING A FREQUENT VISITOR FOR SEVERAL YRS I WAS SHOCKED AND DISMAYED WHAT HAPPENED JUNE 2010.

Great food, big drinks. After a long week we didn't want to go in town but still wanted a full size cocktail and a steak.
