For meat lovers, one type of meat typically stands above the rest: steak. It’s high-class, delicious, comes in a variety of sizes and cuts, and is often the basis on which a restaurant is judged. There are lots of great steakhouses in Georgia, and one of the best is in the little town of Watkinsville. Chops and Hops is an aptly-named spot that has been serving up incredible steaks and locally-brewed beers for over a decade. It’s a casual steakhouse with a menu full of delights – with amazing sides, incredible burgers, salads, and more, there’s really something for everyone here!
Chops and Hops is located right on Watkinsville's bustling Main Street area. This is a great part of town to walk around and check out all the local shops.
The shopping center where the restaurant is located can get a little busy. If you don't see any parking in front of the restaurant, check out back.
The restaurant is casual while still feeling somewhat refined. You won't find lots of boisterous activity or peanut shells on the floor, but you also won't feel uncomfortable visiting in casual wear.
The burgers are actually as big of a draw here as the steaks. If you're on a specialized diet, you can opt for a sweet potato black bean patty or a gluten-free bun.
Chops and Hops also offers an array of wine, beer, cocktails, scotch, and whiskey. There are even a few mocktails to choose from if you're the designated driver of your group.
