About The Chop House
The Chop House on Epps Bridge Parkway has been a reliable steakhouse in Athens for years, delivering grilled steaks, prime rib, and seafood in a comfortable, unpretentious setting. With 1,200 reviews at 4.5 stars, the restaurant has built a steady following among Athens residents who want a quality steak dinner without the formality or price tag of a high end steakhouse. The menu centers on what a steakhouse should do well. Grilled steaks are the main attraction, cooked to order and served with classic sides. Prime rib is available on select days and tends to sell out, so regulars know to ask early. The seafood offerings round out the menu with options that complement rather than compete with the steaks. The wine list is adequate for the format, with enough variety to pair reasonably with any entree. The atmosphere is informal and family friendly. This is not the kind of steakhouse where you feel pressured to dress up or perform a certain dining ritual. It is a place where you can bring the family on a Wednesday night or celebrate a birthday on a Saturday without overthinking it. The service is attentive and the pacing is relaxed. The Chop House is located in the Epps Bridge area on the west side of Athens, which makes it an easy choice for residents in that part of town and accessible from downtown via a short drive. Parking is plentiful. The $$ price point reflects good value for the quality of the steaks, with most dinner entrees falling in the $18 to $35 range.
Specialties
Athens Scoop says: A solid steakhouse that does not try to be anything it is not. Ask about the prime rib availability.

If you haven't been, whether you weren't sure or you think it's too far, you need to make the trip. Everything we had was one hundred percent on point and perfect! Our waitress Martha was absolutely adorable! Her smile was infectious and with our party of 5, we kept her on her toes and she served us with grace. We enjoyed having the manager check in with our table as well, who does that anymore! Greatly appreciated & welcoming! Believe the reviews people, this place is it!

The main highlight for us was their exceptional service. Our server, Jackson P., was extremely attentive, even when he was busy, he consistently checked on our table. The ambiance was beautiful. We ordered the lamb chops, deviled eggs, chopped salad, grouper fillet (a seasonal item), a mushroom side, and the butter cake with strawberries. I didn't like the mushroom side, but everything else was excellent. Portion sizes are little small, dessert was huge though. Cake could have been much better if it was little less sweet. Overall we enjoyed our dinner. We will definitely return.

This was my second time eating here and we loved it! My husband & I came for our 2nd wedding anniversary and it was a wonderful experience. Our waitress was super sweet, knowledgeable, and kept the table clean and drinks refilled. The food was delicious as always and the atmosphere was perfect for the occasion. We will be back for sure! The only thing I was sad about what they did away with the smoked salmon dip but they still had phenomenal everything!
