   The owner and hostess were very pleasant and fun! They accommodated all their guests and the select menu offered many options at a fixed price. We had a wonderful New Years Eve evening thanks so much!

   Great food. Don’t go if holiday and you are a party of 1. You’ll sit at “the bar” which is not a bar…but the check-out counter.

   Hi Laurie, we understand your sentiments. Our GM did try her very best to accommodate you considering we had ZERO tables left for a New Year's Holiday which is our busiest night of the year. Though she explained it would be at the bar since you had a reservation only for 1, I hope you can consider her efforts as every table was for a reservation for 4-18 per table. We hope you'll come back another time when we have more availability to seat you at a table by yourself. Our warmest wishes for a happy and blessed 2025!

   We went for New Year’s Eve and had the pre-fixed menu. The service was good but the food was fair, at best. I expected better for the price being charged. I’ve been to Choplin’s in the past and never had a negative experience.

   Hi Brandi! Firstly, thank you for coming in to celebrate New Year's Eve with our family at Choplin's. We do our very best to make it special as it is a big holiday. That said, with our price point of $85 for a 4 course meal during the biggest holiday of the year, while the industry standard is above $100/ person for New Years Eve, it's unfortunate that you felt you did not get what you expected. We try to accommodate the best we can to those who are fortunate enough to get a reservation during New Year's Eve as we usually have over 100 people on the waitlist. Hopefully, if you give us another chance, you'll enjoy your visit next time around during the busiest season of the year in the hospitality industry and that we can meet your expectations. Warm wishes and all the best! Cheers!

   We’ve dined many times at Choplin’s and recently noticed a lot of nice changes. We dined with our family of 10 for Christmas Eve and the place was buzzing but the staff handled things very well. There was one table next to ours that complained about food taking awhile, but what do you expect during a packed restaurant on Christmas Eve?? We were just happy Choplin’s was open so we didn’t have to cook dinner at home! I’m sharing this because people need to have better expectations. It’s not a fast food restaurant folks. Choplin’s will always be our spot to celebrate with family because even with the tremendous growth they’ve had, the food has remained perfection, the staff are warm and friendly and the service and experience continues to be top notch! Bravo to the owners for keeping this lovely gem one of the best around and more importantly, for all you do in the community! God bless you for years to come! See you again soon for our next family celebration!

   Thank you for so much for your kind words as well as feedback regarding our staff. We wholeheartedly appreciate you valuing the fact that we are open on Christmas Eve, That alone means so much to us and our staff who sacrifice time away from their families. Thank you so much and yes, we too look forward to your next celebration with us! Warmest wishes and happy new year!

   Our family went for Christmas Eve which had a limited menu. Great options and overall food was good but service was extremely slow. We were there for 3 hours. While we had a group of 14, it was not crowded and we had to track our server down several times. It was a holiday so I’m sure staff was limited. Overall we had a good dinner. However for $85 per person, I don’t believe we would do it again.

   Thank you Heather for your sentiments. We do our very best as one of the only restaurants in Charlotte and the surrounding area who extend operations and service during Christmas Eve. It's unfortunate that you felt you did not receive the experience you hoped for. We welcome you to try us again in the future and hope you'll find the efforts of our staff and family who work on holidays, to be a better experience as we serve you. Our warmest wishes for a blessed and wonderful new year.

   Our family from NY cerebrated Christmas at Choplin’s for the first time after hearing great things about the restaurant from friends in the area. We could not have chosen a better place to celebrate. The food was delicious, portions were huge and the dessert menu had something for everyone! For a group of 15, it’s not easy to satisfy everybody and Choplins nailed it! The interior has modern touches, yet warm and friendly. We can’t wait to return to this family operated gem. The service was impeccable even with so many Christmas parties going on. We live in New York City where there are amazing restaurants. I would recommend Choplin’s to anyone who has high expectations for steaks and seafood. Thank you for making our family celebration truly memorable! Kudos the owners Faith and chef Wes who came out to check on our group and to Samantha who made sure everyone enjoyed! Merry Christmas!

   We are humbled by your kind words. Thank you so much for taking time to extend such a glorious review. It does not go unnoticed and we certainly are grateful for your sentiments from your experience, especially with the extremely busy holiday dinner service. It was a true pleasure having your family in and what a fun group you were! We look forward to having you back in when you return to NC! Thank you once again and all the best in 2025!

   I expressed that it was a 60 birthday. No one said anything.

   It's unfortunate that you felt there was amiss with your birthday experience. Our GM did her best to make sure to greet you upon your arrival. If there is another opportunity where you'd like to celebrate a birthday at Choplin's, please let us know what specifics you'd like for our staff to prepare ahead of time so we can be sure to plan exactly what you would like for them to do. Thank you for understanding that we are a restaurant with more than 100 reservations each shift, especially on the weekends and it is not in our control to know your expectations unless you provide it ahead of time. We hope to give you a better experience next time with your specified details on how you would like to be greeted. Our warmest and best regards.

    We had a wonderful Christmas party with our friends and family on Friday. Our group was larger than most of the parties there (14 of us), but our server Allie did a fantastic job. The food was amazing and we were happily surprised to see Classic Filipino Steak on the menu! We met Faith, the wife and business partner of chef Wes who is the founder of Choplin’s and found out she’s Filipino, hence the special steak on the menu. She was very hospitable, as well as her cousin Samantha who is the manager who continue to check on our group throughout dinner service. We love that it’s a family operated restaurant. You can really feel it in their service. Thank you Choplin’s for a wonderful 1st experience, especially on such a busy night! Salamat po! We will be back!
