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.

    As always Bascom’s did not disappoint. From the moment we arrived to the last bite, everything was perfect. I am constantly telling people that if you want quality at its finest you have to dine at Bascom’s you won’t be disappointed.

    My go-to - Top 3 items that never disappoint: Australian Wagyu Ribeye on the specials menu. To me this is my favorite steak in the area when it’s perfect. Really nothing better. Off menu item - Gorgonzola Creamed Spinach Gratinee. If you know you know. Yukon Gold Potato Gratinee.

    My husband and I had a great experience at Bascom's. We had a reservation and we were seated immediately. Our server, Michael was very attentive and friendly. On the evening we were there, there was entertainment which was pretty good. The food was amazing. We had the prime rib, which was cooked perfectly. Great service, atmosphere, and food! Would highly recommend.

    Had reservation, arrived and hostess was on phone for at least 4 minutes before she acknowledged we were standing there! Seated upstairs in a large room that had tables and chairs that you would find in cafeterias or Assisted Living Facility dining rooms; there was little or no attractiveness to the room; and it was quite noisy as there was little separation or buffers to absorb noise. Server (Michael) was very good--knowledgeable, personable, and attentive. Calamari app was large in portion but a bit tough and chewy. Prime rib was huge, a bit grainy, and lacked taste (there was virtually no fat, meat had no seasoning and it was served lukewarm)! Sides were sizable, flavorful and served hot. The special 25% off bottle wines over $50 was well appreciated. Bottom line, when you spend $240 on a meal for two you expect more than was delivered! Prefer Flemmings or Eddie V's to Bascoms.

    Thank you for your review, John. We have now commented here as well as on the Trip Advisor review you left. We appreciate the feedback as we are always trying to improve operations. I am sorry to hear your most recent visit with us was less than perfect. We would have loved the opportunity to resolve any issues at the time of dining had we known there was an issue. Please let us know in the future so we can ensure an optimal dining experience. We will use your review for training purposes with our staff. Your patronage is valuable to us, and we hope to serve you again in the future.
