Chop Steakhouse & Bar

Chop Steakhouse & Bar sits at 2001 Argentia Rd in Mississauga, a stretch of the city built around office parks, hotels and highway access rather than a walkable downtown strip. The location shares its block with a Hilton hotel and is a short drive from the Meadowvale GO Station, which places it within easy reach of commuters heading home at the end of the day, hotel guests looking for a sit-down meal without leaving the area, and office workers from the surrounding business park booking a table for a client lunch or dinner. This part of Mississauga leans on cars and GO Transit far more than foot traffic, so the restaurant's positioning near a train station and a hotel matters more here than it would in a denser part of the region.

As a steakhouse and bar, the format is built around a dinner-focused menu with a lounge and patio area that runs on its own schedule, separate from the main dining room. That split between dining room and lounge is one of the details worth understanding before deciding how and when to visit, since it changes what is available at different points in the evening.

The small details that shape a visit

Hours run late most nights, which is one of the more distinctive practical details of this location. The restaurant opens at 11am daily and stays open well past midnight on several nights of the week, closing at 1am or 2am from Wednesday through Saturday and at midnight Sunday through Tuesday. That late close makes it one of the few sit-down options in this part of Mississauga still serving after most nearby restaurants have shut their kitchens.

A defined happy hour runs from 3pm to 6pm and again from 9pm to close, but it applies only in the lounge and patio, not the main dining room. Anyone planning around those hours should ask on arrival whether a lounge or patio table is available, since the pricing and format differ from the regular dinner menu. The patio itself is seasonal by nature in this climate, so its availability shifts with the time of year, and confirming its status directly with the restaurant is more reliable than assuming it is open.

Being positioned beside a hotel and close to a GO station also means the mix of guests on a given night can range from local diners to travellers and business visitors, which tends to keep the room busier later into the evening than a typical neighbourhood restaurant.

Who this suits, and who might look elsewhere

The format fits people looking for a full-service steakhouse dinner: a plated meal, a reservation, and either a dining room or a lounge/patio setting depending on the time of day. It works well for a client dinner tied to the nearby office park, a hotel guest wanting a proper sit-down meal within walking distance, or a group meeting after a GO train ride in from Toronto. The group booking and event planning option also makes it a candidate for a work function or a private gathering rather than only walk-in dining.

It is less suited to anyone looking for a quick counter-service meal or a casual bite on the way through, since the format centers on table service and a reservation-driven flow, particularly during peak dinner hours. Someone wanting an early-afternoon lunch outside the late-morning-to-late-night rhythm described in the hours should confirm timing directly, since the posted hours span the full day rather than a distinct lunch and dinner split. Services at this location include dine-in table service in the main room, a separate lounge and patio menu tied to happy hour, pickup and delivery ordering handled directly through the restaurant, gift cards, and support for group bookings and event planning for larger parties.

Getting ready before you go

A short list of what to confirm on arrival or beforehand: whether the patio is currently open, since that depends on the season and on the day's conditions; whether a lounge table is available if the visit is timed around happy hour; and whether a reservation is needed for the size of the group, particularly on the later-closing nights from Wednesday through Saturday. Booking ahead is the more reliable route for dinner service, especially given the hotel and commuter traffic the location draws.

For anyone ordering instead of dining in, pickup and delivery can be arranged directly through the restaurant, and confirming order timing by phone is a reasonable step before heading out, particularly close to closing time. Various payment methods are accepted; anyone with a specific method in mind should confirm it when booking or ordering. For group bookings or an event tied to a work function or celebration, reaching out ahead of the date allows the space and timing to be arranged rather than left to a walk-in table.

Frequently asked questions

Can a meal be ordered without dining in?

Yes. Pickup and delivery ordering is available directly through the restaurant, in addition to standard dine-in table service.

Is this a suitable choice for a special occasion or group event?

The steakhouse format and the group booking and event planning option make it a reasonable fit for a celebration, a work dinner, or a larger party, provided the arrangements are made ahead of the visit rather than as a walk-in.

What should be done if a visit or order doesn't go as expected?

Raising the issue directly with the restaurant, by phone or on arrival, is the appropriate first step, since staff on site are best placed to address a problem with a specific order or reservation.

Is a reservation or appointment needed?

A reservation is recommended, particularly for dinner service or for a group, given the later closing hours and the volume of hotel and commuter traffic in the area. Walk-ins may be accommodated depending on availability.
