First time here. Excellent food, great drinks, service and nice, not loud music in a nice atmosphere. In the pics…1 bite missing from tuna… rearranged the shrimp…1 piece and one bite missing from perch. I am an old man with a young wife, we have both lived in this area our whole lives and love to eat out.

Our experience at the Chop Co was entirely pleasant. Our waitress was delightful and everyone was friendly. My hamburger was cooked exactly the way I ordered it, medium rare. My wife had the perch sandwich and said it was excellent. The prices are reasonable. I would go back if it wasn’t 800 miles from home.

Walking in the atmosphere seemed relaxed & pretty inviting. My server was really nice, & was pretty prompt on any request– there was only two other tables occupied in his section at the time. We ordered two ribeye’s medium well, side of garlic mash & house made applesauce. My husband had the exact same, but with a side of bacon Brussels sprouts. The food looked great, but lacked tremendously in flavor & was not HOT. My garlic mash had no flavor not even a hint of garlic. I ended up putting some of the garlic butter from my steak on them. My steak was decent but for $21 I’d expect less fat, a better sear, more flavor & cooked how I asked. My sons $6 chicken bites & fries tasted better than my food! Another huge bummer was the beer, the lines need a good cleaning because both beers we ordered (different kinds) had zero head on them & just tasted flat. This place could be a 5 star spot but the food lacked & the bar situation needs to be fixed. Bathrooms were also not very clean. Friendly staff though, & tons of parking!

The bad: Outdated dining area with dim lighting, and our waiter was extremely polite but had terrible body offer and it was extremely strong which isn’t very pleasant while trying to eat dinner.
The good: the drinks were very very strong and well made. The food was delicious and cooked perfectly with generous portions.

Very great place to have a business sit down or a delicious meal with your family. The NY strip steak was cooked and seasoned exactly how one would expect. Drink list is very well put together and there is no lack of care when putting together a cocktail. Starters are damn near meal portion sized and the bartenders are as friendly as they come. Highly recommended you try this gem. You’d be paying a higher dollar anywhere else for what you’ll receive here.

A quaint establishment with a lot of potential!
The sign is only visable from one direction, if you’re coming from the mall you won’t see the sign, and be aware that you turn into another establishments driveway to access thier parking lot.
The customer service had a slow start, even with a sparsely filled dining area. This was improved, once the waitress came and was very attentive after that, but was still a noticable wait for the wine.
The food we had was very good. From the fruit and nut salad with raspberry vinaigrette, to the 12oz NY strip with sauteed onions and mushrooms. Both, the mashed potatoes and gravy and the sweet potato fries (with cinnamon and sugar), complemented the steaks nicely.
We finished off this meal by sharing a slice of the turtle cheese cake, which is DEFINITELY worth your time.
Overall, between the service, food quality, and price, I rate this at 3 and 1/2 stars.

Visited with local friends, while travleing SW michigan recently, who highly recommended Craftsman Chop Co. Welcoming atmosphere freindly staff, combined with excellent food make this a great choice for dinner. The lake perch was my favorite, the slaw was top notch, and the apple sauce was crazy good!! Highly recommend!

My son recommended this place so my boyfriend and I went on Valentine’s Day we weren’t sure we would be able to get a table due to not having reservations but they made room for us! I had the perch sandwich with sweet potatoe fries and my boyfriend got the steak bites for an appetizer and the perch dinner! All of it was very good!!! Will be back for sure to try other menu options

The meals and our server were absolutely great!
Had chance to sir outside at table with umbrella.
Ordered a cheeseburger with blue cheese crumbles and fries.
Also side onions and mushrooms, the cook provided a thick sauce to try which is usually served with the black&blue steak. That was a great dipping sauce for the fries.
Anxious to return.

Great service, amazing food and drinks. location is perfect, tucked away near the entrance to Crossroads Mall and perfect for a quick get away from the rush of Portage. There is a perfect little table for 2 next to a fireplace that we were luck enough to get.
a little on the pricy side but you get what you pay for. If you want good food, be willing to pay for it.
