Bascom's Chop House

Celebrating Moms 93 years birthday and how special we were treated. The napkins were coordinated to make sure we didn't get fuzz balls. The steak, the Smokey manhattan the desserts and all were so far above and beyond. Dan served us with the best there is in professionalism and comedy. Ya gotta go!

My work comes here for lunch sometimes, and we also had our work Christmas dinner here. The staff is always knowledgeable, able, and super attentive. The parking lot is spacious, and the inside is classy yet comfortable.The drinks are fabulous, and the food is unreal every time. I always get the Billionaire's Bacon--10/10 recommend it! Always a great experience at Bascom's!

My husband and I came here for my dad's birthday and it was my first visit. It's a very nice steakhouse! We arrived on a Tuesday and it quickly got packed due to their steak specials on Tuesdays. Service here is fantastic! I'm so glad quality service has not fully gone extinct! Our server was Jack Frost. I'm not kidding! He was a great server and really added to our experience despite some mix-ups he had. And I'm so sad that when he packed my leftovers, he forgot to put in my loaded baked potato and the creamed horseradish for my prime rib! Ugh! But I got over it because at one point, he accidentally came over with a to-go creme brulee that we didn't order. Then he felt bad about it and gave it to us on the house (on top of my dad's free birthday dessert).Okay, the food. Great food! I tried my stepmom's gapacho (did I spell that right?....basically rare thinly sliced steak) and WOW, I'm ordering that for myself next time!! DELISH! I had a bowl of lobster bisque and it was very tasty. The prime rib was great and Jack told us a few times that it's cooked for 12 hours. I was a bit surprised to hear this because we just made prime rib for Christmas and it was not cooking for 12 hours but was just as--if not more--tender! I do think the prime rib could use a much more flavorful exterior bark. I also had a cocktail called Caribbean Passion and it was also great! I would give this 4.5 stars technically, and I would definitely come back--especially for a special occasion! Check out their website for more details on their specials/discounts!

Bascom's Chop house is our families celebration restaurant. Engagements, Birthdays you name it. The service is always impeccable and the atmosphere festive. From the first time you sit down until your dessert arrives and everything in between. In this visit we tried the steak tartare and it was so good. We most always order the ribeye and they cook it to perfection. And the cream brûlée is made so well with a great crispy top. If you let them know you are celebrating when you make your reservation they will make it special for you.

I was here for a private event and got the pork chop. Wow it was amazing! Juicy and full of flavor. The staff were very helpful as well.

Ok don't ask what we were doing in Florida. Suffice to say it was a quick business trip and pretty exhausting. This is the land of strip malls and chain restraints and megastores so our expectations were pretty low. We were there just before the holidays and reservations were hard to get. When we pulled up at 8pm, it was clear why. This place is enormous and was filled to the brim with parties and families. Still we were serve promptly and the service was really good. We wanted to get our orders in as we had a 7am flight the next day and they were super accommodating. Suffice to say this is classic over the top American cuisines. For instance the appetizer is a maple glazed bacon. These things are enormous and at least inch think and list have a gallon of sugar and maple on them. I have to say they were delicious hit so rich I'm sure my boood glucose popped to 1M. They serve them dripping on foot high racks which is definitely an interesting presentation. They have a massive wine list and we had some very nice Italian wine. For our main course we tried the coffee crusted steak. I think it was a rib eye. The meat was well cooked but the coffee grounds meant that it couldn't really get the deep sear which we love so much. We couldn't have the sauce (dairy everywhere), so I'm sure that would add to the flavor. This was grain fed beef I think as the actually flavor was not that robust but it was very tender. Overall YMMV, but we like our steaks much more seared and then grass fed.The ambience was like an old English manor which is pretty interesting in suburban Florida but it worked. The happy families and people all around were great. The service was great and attentive and they were working really hard that day. For our party there was a 20% included gratuity and we definitely added to that. Nice spot in Clearwater :-)

Bascom's Chop HouseAfter evacuating for Hurricane Milton with 9 family members and 7 pets, I promised myself a proper steak dinner once things settled. On Thursday, after returning home, I saw on Facebook that Bascom's would reopen on Friday at 5 pm. I quickly booked a reservation for 7 pm.When I arrived, the place was bustling--no surprise, given that it was not only a Friday night but also one of the few open spots. Despite the crowd, I was seated within minutes. I started with an EH Taylor Small Batch bourbon and a Bell's Octoberfest beer--a seasonal and satisfying choice. For my appetizer, I ordered the French Onion Gratinee ($12). It arrived piping hot--almost dangerously so--but it was absolutely delicious. The rich, beefy broth, combined with the garlic croutons, melted Swiss and Parmesan, and green onions, was comforting and flavorful. My only critique was that a few of the onion pieces were that of the outside layer of the onion and were too tough to bite through. Overall, I'd rate the soup 8/10.For my main course, I went with the Creekstone Farms Bone-In Ribeye--a generous, all-natural 22oz cut ($54)--along with a side of the mushroom medley ($11) and a loaded baked potato ($9). I ordered the steak medium rare, and it was cooked perfectly. The steak was tender, juicy, and well-marbled, with just the right amount of fat expected from a ribeye. I only managed to finish half and took the rest home, but every bite I had was exceptional. The baked potato was perfectly dressed, fluffy, and flavorful. The mushroom medley had a nice garlic flavor, though I felt $11 was a bit steep for what appeared to be just button mushrooms--I would have preferred a mix of varieties for the price. Overall, the meal was a solid 9/10.William, my server, was attentive and provided excellent service throughout. It felt like almost every manager in the restaurant stopped by to check on my experience, which added a nice touch. It was a fantastic dinner, especially after the stress of the storm, and it seemed like everyone there felt the same. I'll definitely be back.

In the area for work. Had a great dinner here! Just me, sat at the bar, got great service and yummy food!If you check in on Yelp, you'll get a free appetizer! Score! So I got the beef tartar and it was absolutely delicious! Then I got a 6 oz filet and a side of sautéed spinach. All this food for about $50. Thank you for being able to keep prices reasonable. The place was definitely a locals hot spot. Been around a long time. Highly recommend and I would return if I'm in the area again.

Fabulous Authentic old school style steakhouse with an authentic steak house ambiance. Moi fave in St Pete. FYI: Make your reservations now for the Holidays OuiOui. The service here is very upscale, the entire waitstaff are professionally trained. Lovely, engaging, friendly staff, excellent service all around. The menu is a typical Steakhouse menu with some excellent seafood dishes. There are many things on the menu that I love to frequently eat here. I'm just working my way thru the menu. So, moi have signed up for the rewards program. You get discounts for every dollar you spend. You can check that out on their website. The Holiday menu is posted there as well. For Starters, I had the French Onion Soup. It has a combination of cheeses as the Cheesy gratin top. It was so amazeballs I had to ask about the cheese top it was WOZA, the best French Onion Soup I ever had. The waitress told me they use two slices of Swiss cheese, then, grate a whole slice of parmesan on top. Then, they top that with herbs & bread crumbs for a crispy texture. Ohmygosh, the beefy broth with all the soft buttery onions & crouton inside, topped with the combo of the cheeses all hot gooey crispy goodness WOZA. It literally blew me mind I had to take one to go for Sir Hubbers. A MUST order. Also, they make a fabulous Authentic Cesar Salad here. It comes with house made cheesy croutons & a parma crisp. It has a $3 "option" to add anchovies. Perfection. You can also add Chicken, Beef, shrimp, grouper or salmon to any salade entree for an additional charge. I added the "blackened salmon" to moi Cesar Salad. The salmon was a nice large piece cooked perfectly medium plus. The "blackened" version is my favorite. OuiOui. One of the best Cesar Salads I have ever had. As one of my favorite things to eat, I am looking forward to eating this Cesar Salade & French Onion Soup weekly, as it's now on moi YUM rotation schedule. Added to moi "Fave St Petersburg Winners Circle Restaurants" Fave salade" lists & "Fave seafood places" lists OuiOui. Will return & Often. Highest Recommendations.

Always a fan of the Seafood Cobb.I came here to meet a friend. It always strikes me as such a random restaurant to have. On the outside it looks kind of run down and unassuming, but it's pretty nice inside. It is definitely the place to have a business lunch. Even though the Seafood Cobb wasn't on their online menu, I found it on their menu when I was looking. There's another salad that looks good that I might try next time, due to inflation the Seafood Cobb has risen in price quite a bit. However, it does have quite a bit of seafood. My friend got the Seafood Cobb too and she mixed the salad together. I ate it in it's deconstructed state. It's a good salad if you want to feel full and satisfied. Service is always great. We were looking to chat so we were there for two hours. We never felt rushed. There's a big parking lot so parking is always a breeze. Don't sleep on this restaurant. I know it looks like nothing from the outside, but it's a very good place to grab a lunch or dinner.
