About the restaurant

Chop was created for people who love sharing, connecting and everything steak. We are proud to offer a menu that shares our commitment to sustainable beef sourcing, serving high-quality cuts of 100% Canadian beef. It isn’t just the meat that’s special – it’s also how we cook it. Our Montague broiler cooks at up to 1800 °F, giving a beautiful crust and flavour to every steak! We slow roast our prime rib in a humidity-controlled oven, keeping it mouth-watering and tender. And we put this level of care into each of our hand-crafted drinks, and from-scratch dishes, including plant-based and seafood options, with something for everyone to enjoy. All of this quality comes with friendly hospitality in warm and energetic rooms. Open for lunch, happy hour, dinner and late-night!
Come try Saskatoon's best Prime Rib.

We had a fabulous experience last night at Chop Saskatoon. My partner had the eggnog nog martini and I a grapefruit cocktail both were wonderful. For our entrees we had the prime rib and roasted chicken. Both selections were done to perfection. The service was excellent as well. Best restaurant meal we have had in a very long time

The new menu was released this week and it's fabulous. The beets and carrots were flavourful, the lamb bao buns were tasty, and the perogies were light and fluffy. It was a great snack as we weren't crazy hungry. I have to get back for the chef tasting menu as it sounded perfect.

Romeo and staff made the evening memorable. Food was great as always. My wife and I have been coming to Carver's for 25 years and we always enjoy it. We brought our grandson here for his 13th Birthday because he wanted "a great steak"! Thanks for delivering on all aspects, Romeo and staff.

We enjoyed our anniversary dinner at primal. Food was excellent, as was the service! Our favourites were the bison carpaccio, as well as the braised bison tubetti. A great showcase of Saskatchewan ingredients.
