About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
  • Great for fine wines
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.

    Delicious food. we had the Bascom salad with great dressing. I had the prime rib which was cooked perfectly and my husband had the ribeye which was filled with flavor and tasted like quality meat. We also got the grilled asparagus cream, corn and cream spinach. The portions were a great size. We got the chocolate torte for dessert, but it was a little bit too rich for me. The service was fantastic. The only downside, which is typical of a steak restaurant is everything is alacarte so it can add up quickly.

    This is the fourth time I tried giving my experience with a photo of my charred A5 Japanese wagyu rib-eye steak it says the photo didn't take!!! Wow somebody is trying to avoid not so good experiences. Nut it's cool..
    Bascom's Chop HouseResponded today
    Thank you for your feedback, and we’re very sorry to hear that your A5 Japanese Wagyu rib-eye wasn’t up to standard. That’s certainly not the experience we aim to deliver. We also understand your frustration with the photo upload issue—unfortunately, that’s something outside our control, but please know we take all reviews seriously, even without images. Most of all, we truly wish you had let us know about the issue while you were still dining with us. We would’ve done everything we could to address it on the spot and ensure you left fully satisfied. If you're open to it, we’d love to hear more details directly so we can make this right. Please feel free to reach out to us at 727-573-3363. Thank you again for your time and feedback.

    Best steak house in Pinellas County. Filet is always cooked to perfection and near any fat or grizzle. The creamed spinach is delicious as well and service is always superior.

    Great evening with my wife and daughter. Gracious cocktails at the bar. Jenn is experienced and gives great advice. Dinner with Skyssa (sp?). Was nicely paced. The food, of course, was wonderful. We got great advice on wine pairings.

    Our search a for Tampa steak house continues with Bascom's providing a merely average experience. Our steak & lamb both lovely but here were the flubs: warm champagne cocktail (a first for me), harried service (zero busboys), & a dessert that looked phoned-in (3 pieces of waffle accompanied by some cannoli cream that had been scattered with choco chips). Oh and the bread service is extra.
    Bascom's Chop HouseResponded 3 days ago
    Thank you for sharing your feedback, Annamarie. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the steak and lamb, but we’re truly sorry the rest of your experience didn’t match those highlights. Your comments about the cocktail, dessert, and overall service are important and will be shared with our team right away. We wish we would’ve known at the time of your visit so we could have made things right. We’d love for you to give us a call and speak with our management team directly—we truly value your input and would appreciate the chance to make this right.

    The food was excellent with a wide variety of items to choose from. The wait staff was excellent, quick to respond, especially with our party of 8. This is a Clearwater gem.
