Chops & Lobster Bar: Upscale Steakhouse and Seafood Delight in Atlanta

Chops Lobster Bar in Buckhead was an awesome experience. The vibe is upscale but still laid-back and comfortable, not stiff or overly fancy. Perfect spot for a nice dinner without feeling out of place. The food was on point. Everything tasted fresh and was cooked perfectly, especially the seafood and steaks. The drinks were just as good as the food. Service was great—friendly, attentive, and never rushed. The staff really knows what they’re doing and makes sure you’re taken care of the whole time. Overall, great food, great service, and a solid atmosphere. Definitely a place I’d recommend and will be going back to.

We have celebrated so many milestones at Chops Lobster Bar birthdays, anniversaries, you name it and every single time has been nothing short of amazing. From the moment you walk through the door, you sense this is a place where special moments belong. The food is extraordinary. On multiple occasions, I’ve ordered the wagyu steak and lobster (medium well), and each time it was cooked to perfection rich, tender, flavorful, beautifully presented. The seafood is flown in fresh, the cuts of beef are exceptional, and the menu strikes the perfect balance between elegance and indulgence. The service is exquisite. The team is attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making your experience memorable. One particularly touching moment: for our anniversary, I had flowers delivered ahead of time. The restaurant held them and then arranged to have them brought to our table while we were dining. That sort of personal touch made the evening even more special. Parking is convenient thanks to valet service right out front. While I prefer to rely on the valet to avoid the hassle, you can also find your way via Google Maps it guides you directly to their address in Buckhead. In short: Chops Lobster Bar remains my go-to for celebrating life’s milestones. Whether it’s an anniversary or a birthday, the ambiance, the food, the attention to detail everything comes together perfectly. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a truly memorable fine-dining experience.

Chops Lobster Bar (Private Members Only) — and let me just say… I wasn’t a member, but I was a very lucky guest. After this experience, I’m officially convinced I need to become a member. We went on New Year’s Eve, which already sets the tone, but the entrance alone? Top-tier. You walk in through a speakeasy-style door straight through the kitchen — instantly makes you feel like you’re in on something special. The staff greeted my dinner partner by first and last name (he’s been a member for over 20 years), and that level of recognition says everything. We didn’t get his usual table — affectionately called “Ray Charles” — but honestly, the table we had was perfectly fine. A girlfriend joined us, and the night flowed effortlessly from there. Now… the food We started with the filet mignon and lobster bites — crave-worthy from the first bite. Then the tuna tartare, which was fresh and clean; I just wished it came with a thin chip or cracker for dipping to add a little texture. I had the lobster bisque (rich, comforting, and done right) and the crab cake — solid and flavorful. He ordered the ribeye with fries, cooked beautifully. She went with the sea bass, paired with Brussels sprouts and lobster mac & cheese — a winning combo across the board. The drinks were amazing, and Emily? Absolutely dope. I’ve never seen her without a smile, and her energy made the experience even better. Between the service, the atmosphere, and the attention to detail, this place delivers an experience, not just a meal. I can’t wait to come back — hopefully next time as a member. P.S. Let’s just say… there were a few cuties in the room, ladies included. The vibe was vibing.

I recently had the pleasure of celebrating my brother's birthday at Chops & Lobster Bar in Atlanta, and we were thoroughly impressed by the exceptional dining experience. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was lively and inviting, setting the tone for a memorable evening. The real stars of the show, however, were the dishes that arrived at our table. The steak was cooked to perfection, with a tender texture and rich flavor that simply melted in our mouths. The lobster was equally impressive, with succulent chunks of meat that were expertly prepared and full of flavor. And the shrimp? Absolutely divine. What truly stood out was the attention to detail and care that seemed to go into every aspect of our meal. Every dish was expertly presented and bursting with flavor, leaving us feeling satisfied and indulged. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just looking for an upscale dining experience, Chops & Lobster Bar is an excellent choice. Highly recommended, and we'll definitely be back!

Went recently for a family Birthday Dinner. The service and atmosphere are phenomenal, and the food is wonderful. I would give the food a 4.999 out of 5 stars. Two of the steaks came out a little more medium well than medium (but were still wonderful to eat) and one was closer to medium rare (but she didn’t even realize until someone else pointed it out). The Thai Chili Rhode Island Calamari is a must get appetizer. The sauce is the star of the show with phenomenal flavor without too much heat. The Maryland Lump Crab Cake Cocktail was also a huge hit. Finally, the texture and flavor on the Hawaii Sushi Grade Ahi Tuna Tartar was just amazing. The steaks and lobster tails were cooked and seasoned wonderfully. Having the warm butter to dip just elevated the entire meal. Side dishes: The Grilled Jumbo Asparagus was good. It was cooked perfectly to al dente, but had no grill marks, char or seasoning just lacked flavor. The Hashed Potato Tots were as expected AMAZING, and the Brussels Sprouts and Mushrooms were so full of flavor you did not need to overeat. The wine and beverage selection was spot on, and the cocktails were made extremely well. The wait staff were wonderful, courteous and caring, you never had to wait for anything.

Me and wifey went to Chops for the 1st time together this past Valentine, and it was absolutely amazing. Before we were even seated we received complimentary glasses of champagne for an extended wait (10 minutes past our reservation). The menu was spectacular for the occasion. I suggest the surf and turf for anyone who wants the try the lobster and steak. The crab cake appetizer was light and flavorful, and the drinks were right on point. We really enjoyed the ambiance, it allowed us some intimate time together. The service provided was otherworldly, the attention to detail was impressive. I highly recommend Chops to any couple for a unforgettable experience out!

Ribeye was a 7 our of 10. I was expecting a set of flavors to blow my mind. The portion was skinny for a portion of 2. The appetizers were great. The octopus cooked to perfection, the crab meet was excellent. The wine selection is rich and extensive. Need a bit more italian wines. Enjoy

We've been to several steakhouses, and tonight was the first time we tried Chops in Atlanta. Our servers were excellent and knowledgeable. Ribeye was juicy and cooked right with white truffle butter on top. The Crusted Black Grouper was delicious and paired well with grapefruit emulsion that impressed me. We definitely will come back.
