About this restaurant

  • Good for business meals
  • Charming
  • Good for groups
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 was ok, took 1.5 hrs to order and get food. Very expensive and feel I could prepare a better piece of halibut.

    Over all meal was quite good. My bone in rib eye was very flavor-able, seasoned & cooked to perfection! The Caesar was better than most. My wife had the tuna tartar & grilled shrimp, both were very exceptional.

    Well, we’ve been 3 times now in the last few months, all I can say is this place is just fantastic ! The food is amazing, the drinks are spot on and the service is stellar ! All 3 times we have been it was nothing short of great ! The food is delicious the servers are so nice and polite and always there ! My only complaint is that I wish we had known of Arroyo Chop House sooner ! I even brought my Mom in when she was visiting from Texas and she thought it was amazing. We will most definitely be back !!!
