East Valley’s newest steakhouse, Chop Chandler, officially opens Sunday at Downtown Ocotillo

The East Valley’s newest steakhouse, Chop Chandler, officially opens its doors at 4 p.m. Sunday at Downtown Ocotillo. It’s from the same ownership group behind Humble Pie, The Living Room, and The Sushi Room.

Billed as “the neighborhood’s newest steakhouse, grill and lounge,” the 4,000-square-foot establishment features a seven-foot mesquite hardwood grill that will produce burgers, steaks, and seasonal fish and nightly specials.

The menu, created by 19-year Houston’s veteran Charles Osteen, also includes salads, fresh vegetables, desserts, vegetarian and lighter fare options. See menu here.

Chop is anchored by a U-shaped, 12-person bar with amphitheater seating projecting outward. Floor-to-ceiling wine and spirit bottles frame the back of the bar and kitchen. The cellar is stocked with close to 200 wines.

The comfortable dining room, with wood finishes and plush seating, seats 130. A private dining area will accommodate parties up to 50 people.

Chop Chandler takes over the former Egg & I space off Queen Creek Road west of Dobson. Info: 480-821-0009.
