About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
  • Good for business meals
When the original Bascom came to Florida at the turn of the last century to help Henry Flagler build the Key West Railroad, he brought with him his love for thick cut chops and juicy steaks. During his travels he also discovered the bounties of fresh native Florida seafood.

We have brought all of his favorites together in a true American Chop House that pays tribute to Bascom's hearty appetite and a passion for great steaks, chops and fresh seafood.

In his honor, we have made Bascom's Chop House a comfortable, yet elegant, American restaurant. We are proud to offer a superbly crafted wine list and American Mid-Western beef, aged to our own exacting specifications to ensure the most tender and flavorful steaks served anywhere at any price. And, true to our Bascom's Chop House name, we also offer hand-cut veal, pork and lamb chops all prepared to perfection, as well as a great selection of native seafood delivered fresh daily.

    Bascoms has maintained its quality throughout the years, and each employee demonstrated that last night. From the valet, to the food. Excellent!

    Best steakhouse in Pinellas County. Filet is excellent and cooked to perfection. Try the creamed spinach for a side dish. It is really good.

    Oder the billionaire bacon. If you like meat or beacon, hands down it’s worth it. The steaks were great cuts and cooked as ordered. Didn’t have one thing negative to say. Would go back again for sure.

    As I’ve reviewed on here before, Bascom’s is a terrific restaurant! Last night we did Tomahawk Tuesday. Perfectly cooked. Our server Christopher was great. The deconstructed cannoli dessert is to die for! We were also here for Easter brunch which was also fabulous!

    This is not fine dining, this is basically outback but more expensive. The noise level is loud, extremely loud. I couldn’t hear anyone at my table the majority of the time. The king crab was frozen to the point it was like a popsicle of crab. The bourbon had a cherry in it, and that drink was in a martini glass? We never really asked for that, only for it to be straight up, so we were all confused on why it had a cherry in it. Bread was really stale, and was $4 for a little plate. When we arrived for our reservation on time, we were seated in about 10 minutes after the reservation time, then we were told to go back to the lobby, waited an additional 10 minutes, then finally seated. I’m unsure why this was an issue and never happened to me at a restaurant, but hey at least we eventually got a seat. I am extremely disappointed in the service here, we were expecting a good meal but it did not meet our expectations based on what we spent.

    Thank you for your feedback, Ryan. We’re sorry your experience didn’t meet expectations. We apologize for the seating delay and issues with your meal, including the seafood and drink presentation. While we’re glad our General Manager was able to speak with you and that you seemed more at ease by the end of your visit, we’re sorry to hear the overall experience still left a bad taste. Your comments have been shared with our team to help us improve. If you’d like to discuss further, please reach out—we’d appreciate the opportunity to make things right.

    We were seated immediately. Waiter brought waters and explained menu. Billionaire bacon was outstanding. We had the Weekend Duet that was fabulous and plenty of food.
