Steaks are the most elite, and at the same time most expensive, cut of meat you can throw on a grill, or have it pan-fried or broiled, whichever tickles your fancy. I think it’s a life-long quest to hone a cooking technique, in my case – grilling, so that one can cook steaks charred crusty on the outside and perfectly medium-rare on the inside. I would even sometimes intentionally press on the steak to show the grill marks just to make it look more impressive and appetizing. It is a great talent to know how to cook steaks right to a medium rare to get a flavorful and tender dish that’s going to be a carnivorous pleasure for those who’s rarely tasted this meaty pleasure. But it looks like my search for a fulfilling and satisfying steak meal – that looks and tastes good both inside and out – is finally over.
Chops Chicago Steakhouse offers a steak experience you will definitely drool all over. The thought of eating on a chopping board was actually an awesome experience already, and when I tried it personally – slicing that perfectly cooked medium-rare steak that was all pinkish and juicy inside – I felt like a king. Imagine also my delight as I savor every bite of the well-seasoned and seared steak meal. I was in steak heaven that day.
The ambiance was undoubtedly very elegant – and very appropriate for executives wanting to have a luncheon meeting the classy style
The complimentary appetizers, may it be the Whole Wheat Rolls or the Ciabatta bread, already says well about Chops Chicago Steakhouse. Though the breads were already good on their own, the whipped butter added just the right flavor. The soup of the day really brought out an appetite. If the soup was that good already, I can’t wait to try out the main dish. The matching Caesar Salad was a a delightful combination of crispy Romaine lettuce, bacon bits, hebed croutons, parmesan cheese, black pepper and classic Caesar dressing - I swear I ate every last bit of the veggies.
The Whole Wheat Rolls was totally new for me thus it was a fascinating sight to see.
The Ciabatta spread with some butter was another treat to start a hearty meal.
The Cream of Asparagus Soup – with an actual piece of asparagus – was the Soup of the day starting the Executive Powerlunch.
A closer look at my sliced steak truly convinced me how lucky I am to be partaking the Executive lunch at Chops Chicago Steakhouse.
The Beer Battered Onion Rings with mayo dip sidings hit it right on the spot for me. It is just one of the many delectable choices for the Executive “power” lunch meal set for only 888.
The House Fries was simply irresistible. It has the right crunch and taste much better than what you’ can find from any other fancy restaurant.
The Roasted Beef Marrow with Toasted Crostini and Parsley Salad at the sides was phenomenal but a bit dangerous .
The Skillet Buttered Corn had a generous serving of butter making it creamier than what we usually encounter.
Who can resist the Potato Overload? Sort of a cross between a mashed and baked potato with a sprinkle of everyone’s favorite bacon on top.
You can try the Steamed Asparagus if you are more of the health conscious eater – and yes that’s butter on top.
The Smoked Bacon and Garlic Broccoli made me love broccoli even better – and who in his right mind doesn't love bacon?
The Creamed Spinach with Organic Eggs and Parmesan Cheese was uniquely served in a pot. Wow! Talk about presentation, and surely made eating spinach a lot more interesting
The Pomegranate Honey Mustard with Black Pepper Dip was a lot more satisfying chowing down on the tender meat that easily comes off from the bone ribs.
For the bacon lovers, they have Charbroiled Slab of Bacon – now that’s pure food ecstasy to the max!
You will definitely find room in your stomach just to try these cigar shaped desserts they call the Dark Chocolate Cigars.
I rarely go up to the upper floors of Greenbelt 5 to dine – so it was a treasured discovery finding Chops Chicago Steakhouse up there.
Don’t you just love discovering great food choices that’s conveniently located at a sophisticated venue appropriate enough to bring your celebrated guests or VIPs and treat them over to a great tasting executive power lunch intended to satisfy even the pickiest eater. Chops Chicago Steakhouse was indeed a great find for us.

Heck, its the best place to bring even a king!
