    Sadly, we had a bad experience. The scallops we ate were spoiled / clearly bad - sandy and a strong chemical taste and smell. For the price it was not what you would expect. Won’t be back unfortunately.

    Choplins is going in the wrong direction. Food order was placed incorrectly so 3/4 received there meals while 4th was received twenty minutes later. No real apology given. Prices have increased while portion sizes have been reduced. It’s too bad used to be a really good restaurant.

    We have been to Choplins many times and always been pleased. This time the food wasn’t on par. Brussel Sprouts were undercooked, steak was good but nothing out of the ordinary and the duck was plain with no charred exterior. Chicken wasn’t tender kinda dry. Service was outstanding, decor is cozy-chic but very loud. Hopefully this was just an off night

    We had a very bad experience with poor service. Our waitress delivered our food and never came back. My husband had to wait at least five minutes for a cold glass for his beer. Since we could not find our waitress, we asked another waitress for more bread, but it never came. We approached the manager about the issue and she seemed genuinely annoyed with us She told us the waitress was busy. Very disappointed. We have been going here for several years, but don’t think we’ll be going back.

    Choplins used to be one of my favorite steak restaurants. It is definitely not the same. Appears to be under new management and ownership. The food now was just ok at best. When my food arrived The waitress didn’t bring me a Steak knife and I had to wait about 5 minutes, while my steak got cold before someone else got it for me. Dessert was a small piece of $15 chocolate cake. In conclusion I will not be returning. Not worth the price.

    First-time guest, a family of four, took our son for his 18th birthday. We all ordered steak, and they were good. They were out of the BIG one (28oz) that my son wanted, but these things happen when you eat at places that provide fresh food. We had a lousy server, which made the evening not good, which is reflected in my low star rating. I do appreciate that management went over the top to make it right. They gave our son a $50 gift card to return and have a different experience. I would recommend eating there and making reservations, as the place was packed.
