Chop Grill & Bar

Travelled from canada and met up with my canadian friend who lives in aberdeen who wanted a bit of home so we visited this canadian restaurant chain in aberdeen. menu is a perfect blend of canada and scotland! food is 10/10 delicious. they made me a gin fizz that was perfection. the bar manager, callum, looked after our table and he was a wonderful host. this is a must visit for locals and visitors alike.

Out with the family as part of the local restaurant week we went to the sandman for our first visit to the chop grill , the setting is really nice and the young staff were friendly and efficient, drinks were quickly served including the impressive mexican bulldog . the food was excellent , i had the haggis bonbons followed by the mango chicken and they were both great but the food envy kicked in after trying the sons steak bites starter and the gf's ginger beef bowl which were both really impressive , will try both when we come back , 1 star knocked off for some poor service - forgetting a starter , forgetting the cutlery for the mains and having to ask about the whereabouts of various drinks orders but the quality of the food and the ambiance of the setting transcends the small issues , well recommended and we will be back.

Really friendly staff and service. the food was better than average. the booths have the feel of an american diner / sports bar with large screens pumping out constant sports scores and interviews. in the centre there are cocktails being made, shaken, stirred all in. so overall really good experience. my guest had calamari and then classic burger and they were both excellent according to his aggressively omnivore diet. i had veggie options. it always makes me laugh when people assume i'm the meat eater out of two. wasn't over keen on the sachets of sauce, for the price. i'd expect a small vessel laden with the best quality sauces. the beer was too fizzy. not sure that's a criticism! overall a good, solid experience.

Excellent service and a really nice restaurant. the food was delicious. i had the steak bites for a starter and it was fantastic. our waitress was very polite and looked after us well. will definitely be back.
