A modern take on the classic American steakhouse, Arroyo Chop House is one of only a few restaurants in Southern California that serves exclusively USDA Prime beef. This strikingly handsome restaurant, inspired by the Arts & Crafts architectural style for which Pasadena is famous, is clad in rich mahogany and the cozy booths are bathed in seductive light.

Our steaks are aged and hand cut daily and then perfectly seared in a 1,500 degree oven. Traditional steakhouse side dishes include creamed spinach, baked potatoes, asparagus spears with hollandaise sauce, and Arroyo Chop House's famous onion rings. We also offer live Maine lobster and fresh fish, Alaskan King Crab legs, fresh oysters, and shrimp. Compliment your meal with a bottle from our award-winning wine list and finish the night with one of our delicious desserts such as a Grand Marnier soufflé, warm apple pie, butterscotch pudding or chocolate pecan pie.

    Food quality is always good. There is room for improvement in services. Lack of attentiveness. There is no floor manager/supervisor coverage checking on guests in the entire evening. For a table of 5, we were offered to sit at a small table with cramped space. The restaurant was not even busy!! We were offered to a bigger table after complaining to the hostess/supervisor. This happened to me twice as I was patronized last time! They never learn!! I wonder if I'll go back again.

    Fantastic birthday dinner last night! Everything was perfect: cocktails, warm sourdough bread, steaks, corn pudding, creamed spinach, caesar salad, beet salad. Chocolate soufflé to die for! Our server Christopher made sure we had everything we needed and was so friendly and polite. Probably our best dinner out in Pasadena, ever!

    My wife and I have celebrated our pervious anniversary at Parkway Grill so we decided to give Chop House a try. Every we had was delicious. From the crab cakes to the green beans to the scalloped potatoes. Our steaks were perfect. We plan on returning in the future for sure.

    It’s been a while since we’ve been here and we’re kind of disappointed with the service we received. It took us over an hour to get our main entree then our steaks are mediocre than I can imagine. Totally disappointed
