About Chops Lobster Bar

For more than 35 years, Chops Lobster Bar has been one of the most celebrated steakhouses in Atlanta, serving USDA Prime steaks, world-class seafood, and exceptional hospitality in the heart of Buckhead. Since opening in 1989, Chops has become a destination for business dinners, special occasions, and unforgettable fine dining experiences, earning recognition as one of the top steakhouses in America and the nickname “The Tiffany of Steakhouses.”

Founded by renowned restaurateur I. Pano Karatassos and Buckhead Life Restaurant Group, Chops was built on a simple philosophy: deliver the highest-quality ingredients, impeccable service, and a timeless dining experience that guests will remember long after the meal is over. More than three decades later, that commitment remains at the heart of everything we do.

Atlanta’s Premier Steak and Seafood Restaurant

Located on West Paces Ferry Road in Buckhead, Chops combines the classic elegance of a traditional American steakhouse with the sophistication of a premier seafood restaurant. Guests enjoy USDA Prime aged beef, Certified A5 Wagyu, fresh seafood delivered daily, Nova Scotia lobster, and Genuine Dover Sole, all prepared with meticulous attention to detail.

From power lunches and corporate dinners to anniversary celebrations and milestone occasions, Chops has become a gathering place for generations of Atlantans and visitors seeking one of the city’s most iconic dining experiences.

A Legacy of Excellence

As the flagship steakhouse of Buckhead Life Restaurant Group, Chops reflects the vision and standards established by founder I. Pano Karatassos, whose contributions to the hospitality industry have earned national recognition, including induction into the Culinary Institute of America’s Walk of Fame.

Over the years, Chops has consistently been recognized among the nation’s leading steakhouses and remains a benchmark for fine dining in Atlanta. Its reputation has been built not only on exceptional cuisine, but on creating memorable experiences through attentive service, elegant surroundings, and an unwavering commitment to quality.

Growing the Chops Legacy

Today, Chops Lobster Bar proudly serves guests at its flagship Buckhead location in Atlanta and its acclaimed location in Boca Raton, Florida. The next chapter of the Chops story is already underway with a landmark new location coming soon to Downtown Atlanta’s Centennial Yards development.

While the locations continue to grow, the mission remains the same: to provide an extraordinary steak and seafood dining experience defined by quality, hospitality, and tradition.

From Buckhead to Boca Raton — and soon Centennial Yards — Chops Lobster Bar continues to set the standard for steak and seafood dining while honoring the traditions that have defined the restaurant since 1989.
