Bascom's Chop House

First time dining at this restaurant. We really enjoyed the food and service we received. Bread was delicious! The salad and French onion soup was phenomenal. My steak was cooked perfectly. The mashed potatoes and creamed spinach were delicious. We ordered the bananas foster and it was delicious! My husband enjoyed a few old fashionds. My niece ordered the grouper piccata and unfortunately she was disappointed with that dish.

My husband and I had an amazing dinner at Bascoms. If you’re looking for a place to have a memorable dinner, this is the spot. You will be blown away! We started with the lobstercargot appetizer and it was absolutely spectacular-rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. For our main course my husband had the New York strip, which he said was the best he ever had. I had the lamb chops which were to perfection, juicy and tender. The service was on point from beginning to end; our server checked on us often to make sure everything was perfect without ever being intrusive. They truly went above and beyond. Even the manager came to our table to personally make sure we were taken care of and that everything was to our liking. That extra touch of hospitality really stood out! Highly recommend Bascom’s for anyone looking for excellent food, great service, and a place that makes you feel genuinely welcomed.

Very good steak house. Probably best high end one in Pinellas County. Service impeccable, food well cooked and properly seasoned. High price, but luxury dining experience.

There's a reason this place has been around for over 20 years and that's the consistent delicious dishes and exceptional service! If you never been here, put it on your list. We were greeted with a warm welcome and seated promptly at our reserved time. Our server, Kenny, was knowledge and attentive! The wine list is amazing and I liked thay they had several mocktails to choose from. We started with the fried lobster and lump crab martini. Both were outstanding! The lobster had an airy and light batter while not overpowering the lobster. Australian wagu strip cooked to a perfect medium rare and diver scallops were my choice and the steak just melts in your mouth. The sides, ohhhhh the sides, gouda mac and cheese, creamed corn, potato gratin and maple and honey roasted carrots with goat cheese and pecans, were all delicious! We finished with the chocolate mousse with chocolate chips, salted caramel popcorn, whipped cream, shaved chocolate and caramel sauce. A perfect ending to a perfect meal! We were also checked on by the manager, Eric, who was warm and friendly. Already looking forward to my next visit!

We had a lovely dinner here last weekend and it did not disappoint! The lobster bisque and lobster mac and cheese were some of the best I’ve ever had. Our steaks were cooked perfectly. Drinks were also on point. Definitely will be back when we’re in town!

Our waitress Kim provided excellent service and menu recommendations. I had the Fried Lobster as an appetizer along with a piece of their Bacon. The Fried Lobster was incredible and somehow the sauce was even better! I ordered the 18oz Ribeye and the 14oz Prime Rib. Both were hearty pieces of beef and were cooked to the temp I requested. They were delicious! As a side, I had the Garlic Mashed Potatoes. The mashed potatoes were good. Expect to pay a pretty penny for a meal, but you know what they say, you get what you pay for! When I go back I will be getting more beef and lobster . Overall I ate about 3lbs of food in one sitting, enjoyed every bit, and walked out full as a tick!

I've read the previous reviews that were below 5 stars (in particular the one or two stars) and I have to wonder did we eat at the same place!! Clearwater vacation and my husband is a steak guy. Bascom's Chop House kept coming up in my searches for fine steak dining. Let's go!! 1. Location was perfect, compared to where we stayed in Clearwater Beach. Had an 8:30 reservation and got a text about 8 that our table was ready. No biggie that just meant as soon as we got there , we were taken right to our seats. Nice ambiance and the settings, while looked antique (I mean that in an elegant type of way) it was great for a steakhouse. Our server Blake was right on point! Explained the menu, offered suggestions, was very attentive, even talked a little football (which is a plus for us football fans) Can we start with the wedge salad AND THE BILLION DOLLAR BACON!!! Who did this!?? I have never had anything so good. Meant to order some to go. Main course, I had the filet and my husband had the ribeye (I think was his cut). My filet was AMAZING. Charred perfectly, tender flavored. Husband did have to add a little salt to his steak, but no slight on the prep and temperature just his taste buds. Went basic on the sides with garlic mashed and broccoli with gouda. If I had one little con, the presentation of the broccoli left a little to be desired. But the flavor with the smoked gouda was very good! And lastly, the creme brule' (sp) and blueberry cheesecake, both recommended by Blake. Just WOW! Clearly we had a wonderful experience for our last night of vacation and would hands down return again the next time we're in the area. A very nice gentleman manager came around and checked our drinks and food and then the general manager, Eric, came around and ensured that our experience was in point. Most of all and MOST importantly, my husband was pleased. (The lighting was dim so these photos do not do this much justice)

We went for a team lunch outing of 12, for our second time. We all ordered something different, and none of us had any complaints. I had the wedge and prime rib. Both were delicious. They also offer appetizer, entree, drink and dessert specialties that are not on the menu. Very attentive servers. Definitely recommend if you don't mind paying the prices.

We had wanted to go in for a while so when we went in last night we tried a little bit of everything. The calamari was perfectly cooked. The flash fried lobster amazing. The French onion soup was sweet not savory. We didn't eat it. My spouse loved his blue cheese wedge as the dressing appeared to be from scratch. He got the wagyu steak and it was truly amazing. I had the black grouper in pecans and it was so delicious. We got the creamed corn and mushrooms to try. Both were good but the corn was better. For dessert we tried their chocolate mouse which was mostly whipped cream and tasted like pudding. We didn't eat it. The blueberry cheesecake however was perfect and delicious. We took a lot of food home but it was wonderful. Kelsey our waitress was on top of everything and just simply delightful. Had a wonderful evening. We will be back.

PRIME BEEF? We ordered Prime ribeyes cooked MR and R and they were both very tough - very hard to cut through with the provided heavy steak knives (Prime ribeyes cut through almost like butter). Bascom's is clearly NOT serving Prime beef yet claiming on the menu that they are "Prime" steaks. I am very qualified to make this statement and very sad to make this discovery. I do not work for a competing restaurant or company (retired). Shame on you, Bascom's, we trusted you! NOTE: Management's comments in response to this review do not address the reality of what we encountered. A well marbled Prime ribeye cooked medium rare or rare never requires a saw to cut through it! This was a culinary injustice and downright theft of our money. You must take your customers as fools.

Love Bascom's "Chop House & FRESH SEAFOOD." That's what the sign reads "Chop House Steaks & FRESH SEAFOOD" It's been way too hot in St Pete for heavy duty meat, steaks & potatoes. It's summer & in the summer, I eat FRESH SEAFOOD. Bascom's has the best Seafood selection. They do the best Wedge salad I have ever had. Add their Blackened SALMON it's a masterpiece. You must try it if you love Salmon like I do OuiOui. I have had it salt crusted as well it's also superb. The Salmon Florentine is usually a special, but it's also moi fave. I get it every time it's on the special menu. All three, Très magnifique OuiOui. One of the reasons Bascom's Salmon is so delicious is bc they get their salmon from Patagonia. They serve a very nice thick piece. Excellent quality Salmon. I have not found any better, yet. Bascom's also serves LOCAL FRESH GROUPER. The local grouper they serve here is WILD caught off Madeira Beach. Moi fave beach here also OuiOui. The Local grouper tacos are very yummy here as well as is the Local "Grouper Piccata." They serve the Piccata in a simple lemon butter white wine sauce. Simplistically gorgeous as it is delicious. The french onion soup here is the best on the planet. No one does it in the giant footed bowl like Bascom's. It has a 3 cheese gratin top & it's enormous. A MUST ORDER !!! :)... Way better than Berns in Tampa. Most of those people work here now anyway OuiOui. The oysters rockafella are also some of the best I have had. I have also added them to moi list of Fave oyster places OuiOui. The service here is just phenomenal. I have not had one bad service experience since I been coming here in almost a year now. Fall is coming quick, so i'm really excited to try the fall/winter menu & get into the Steaks & Lobsters that are just calling moi name.. Love that you can add any sauce like béarnaise, Hollandaise, Black garlic, etc., Cannot wait for the cooler weather so Moi can try them all with the filet & lobster OuiOui :)... The wine list is also superb with lots of amazing celebratory Champagnes. Christie (server) turned me onto the small pink bottle of sparkling rose. It's so pretty & so refreshing. Goes great with the seafood dishes & shrimp cocktail. Another MUST ORDER. You can order Bascom's online to go, you can drive right up to the front door & they bring your "to go foods" right out to your car window packaged beautifully. Sir Hubbers fave. Quality, professional service all around "la vie en rose" OuiOui. One of our favorite Restaurants in St Pete.. Added to moi lists of fave restaurants in St Pete/Tampa area, fave seafood places, fave oyster places, fave steaks & fave salade places. Highest Recommendations.

We celebrated our 30th anniversary tonight and were eager to try something new after reading numerous reviews. We were VERY pleased with our experience. While this is primarily a chop house, the side dishes and appetizers pleasantly surprised us with their flavor. The wait staff was attentive and provided excellent service. Although we are currently staying in Clearwater and had to drive a bit to get here, it was definitely worth the trip. As residents of the Tampa area, we plan to return in the future.

My coworkers and I stopped in for lunch and overall had a decent experience. The millionaire bacon was thick, crispy, sweet and savory; one of my favorites! I thought it was a little strange that they charge extra for bread. At a steakhouse, that seems a little petty. For lunch, I ordered the beef tips, which had great flavor, but they were a bit overcooked. Service was really slow, especially for a lunch crowd. It was packed, so I get that they were busy, but the wait between courses was long. Overall, the food was decent and the vibe is nice but I'm not sure I would go back.

Everything! It's perfect! My son and I had great scallop appetizers, wonderful steaks and the staff was attentive and helpful! Will definitely go back, and have spread the word to my friends! Susan Pearce

Our visit was wonderful! We stopped in for a couple of drinks and appetizers and enjoyed it all. We sat at the bar & ordered a smoky old fashioned & a skinny margarita. Both drinks were perfectly prepared & were presented very nicely. We ordered the Garlic Shrimp appetizer & Calamari appetizer. The Garlic Shrimp sauce was outstanding and the shrimp was delicate & delicious. The calamari was delicately breaded & served with a light glaze and yummy dipping sauce. Our bartenders were friendly, attentive, and personable. We were very pleased with the service and food & are eager to return!

Nice yet not stuffy. You can bring the kids here. They even have activity books for them! The apps are the main attraction. We ordered the clothesline bacon (delicious), lobster escargot, garlic shrimp, fried lobster, bread service, porterhouse, cream spinach, mashed potatoes, creme brûlée and key lime pie. The steak was good don't get me wrong but not amazing. It def wasn't the star. The meal in its entirety was great. Brought my 4 kids. They all loved it as well. Signed up for the loyalty program cuz we def will be back. It's right up there with Berns for me.

My work comes here for lunch sometimes, and we also had our work Christmas dinner here. The staff is always knowledgeable, able, and super attentive. The parking lot is spacious, and the inside is classy yet comfortable. The drinks are fabulous, and the food is unreal every time. I always get the Billionaire's Bacon--10/10 recommend it! Always a great experience at Bascom's!

Another great experience at Bascom's. Jerichow was our server tonight and despite it being business that usual, he was was very attentive and friendly. Our steaks were amazing, as always! Tender and cooked to perfection. We sat upstairs for the first time and there was some live music. Very romantic vibes, perfect for our date night. Looking forward to coming back again soon!

Another amazing dinner! It's the best lobster bisque I've had in Saint Pete! Also the blueberry martini is one of my favorites! Also, the calamari is probably the tenders non-chewy. I've also had in Saint Pete it melts in your mouth.!

B C H is one of the most popular steak houses in Clearwater, this was the first time two of our party of three has eaten here. The quality is very good but the atmosphere is a little to pretentious for me from the demeanor of the waitstaff to charging a "bread service" if you would like bread brought to the table. Like I said the quality is very good, lobster bisque, salmon, and prime rib...

In the area for work. Had a great dinner here! Just me, sat at the bar, got great service and yummy food! If you check in on Yelp, you'll get a free appetizer! Score! So I got the beef tartar and it was absolutely delicious! Then I got a 6 oz filet and a side of sautéed spinach. All this food for about $50. Thank you for being able to keep prices reasonable. The place was definitely a locals hot spot. Been around a long time. Highly recommend and I would return if I'm in the area again.

Fourth time here, and Bascom's never fails We were seated immediately and had one of the nicest personable servers Monique to help us. We started with billionaire bacon, which is an 8 inch piece of pork belly seasoned perfectly. Peppery and sweet. Then, of course, our steaks. We had ribeyes and fillets. All were cooked to perfection and the meat was of the highest quality. We had medium rare to medium well and they all came out the way we ordered. The sides of garlic potatoes and spicycorn were exquisite. On Saturdays they have 25% off $50 + bottles of wine. Because it was my birthday, they offered me a dessert on the house which I chose the waffle Again, it was perfect Very lively bar as we left at 9:30 if that's more your choice

Bascom's Chop House After evacuating for Hurricane Milton with 9 family members and 7 pets, I promised myself a proper steak dinner once things settled. On Thursday, after returning home, I saw on Facebook that Bascom's would reopen on Friday at 5 pm. I quickly booked a reservation for 7 pm. When I arrived, the place was bustling--no surprise, given that it was not only a Friday night but also one of the few open spots. Despite the crowd, I was seated within minutes. I started with an EH Taylor Small Batch bourbon and a Bell's Octoberfest beer--a seasonal and satisfying choice. For my appetizer, I ordered the French Onion Gratinee ($12). It arrived piping hot--almost dangerously so--but it was absolutely delicious. The rich, beefy broth, combined with the garlic croutons, melted Swiss and Parmesan, and green onions, was comforting and flavorful. My only critique was that a few of the onion pieces were that of the outside layer of the onion and were too tough to bite through. Overall, I'd rate the soup 8/10. For my main course, I went with the Creekstone Farms Bone-In Ribeye--a generous, all-natural 22oz cut ($54)--along with a side of the mushroom medley ($11) and a loaded baked potato ($9). I ordered the steak medium rare, and it was cooked perfectly. The steak was tender, juicy, and well-marbled, with just the right amount of fat expected from a ribeye. I only managed to finish half and took the rest home, but every bite I had was exceptional. The baked potato was perfectly dressed, fluffy, and flavorful. The mushroom medley had a nice garlic flavor, though I felt $11 was a bit steep for what appeared to be just button mushrooms--I would have preferred a mix of varieties for the price. Overall, the meal was a solid 9/10. William, my server, was attentive and provided excellent service throughout. It felt like almost every manager in the restaurant stopped by to check on my experience, which added a nice touch. It was a fantastic dinner, especially after the stress of the storm, and it seemed like everyone there felt the same. I'll definitely be back.

Always a fan of the Seafood Cobb. I came here to meet a friend. It always strikes me as such a random restaurant to have. On the outside it looks kind of run down and unassuming, but it's pretty nice inside. It is definitely the place to have a business lunch. Even though the Seafood Cobb wasn't on their online menu, I found it on their menu when I was looking. There's another salad that looks good that I might try next time, due to inflation the Seafood Cobb has risen in price quite a bit. However, it does have quite a bit of seafood. My friend got the Seafood Cobb too and she mixed the salad together. I ate it in it's deconstructed state. It's a good salad if you want to feel full and satisfied. Service is always great. We were looking to chat so we were there for two hours. We never felt rushed. There's a big parking lot so parking is always a breeze. Don't sleep on this restaurant. I know it looks like nothing from the outside, but it's a very good place to grab a lunch or dinner.

Subject: Immediate Attention Needed: Disturbing Experience at Bascoms Clearwater, Fl I visited Bascom's on August 15, 2025 to celebrate my birthday and unfortunately encountered several issues that I feel should be brought to your attention. The oysters ($35) were of very poor quality--tiny, slimy, and unpleasant. The chicken marsala was unbalanced in flavor, overly sweet, and paired with runny mashed potatoes. The only Chardonnay offered by the glass was $20, which felt disproportionate for the quality provided. More concerning, while at the upstairs bar for an after-dinner Sambuca, I observed a cockroach crawling on the floor near the bar. When I alerted staff, it was simply crushed by the manager with a napkin at hand in full view of guests. Given Bascom's reputation, these issues raise serious concerns about both food quality and sanitation. I expect to hear how Bascom's will address these concerns to prevent future guests from experiencing the same. Sincerely, Ms. Fort

Bascom's Chop house is our families celebration restaurant. Engagements, Birthdays you name it. The service is always impeccable and the atmosphere festive. From the first time you sit down until your dessert arrives and everything in between. In this visit we tried the steak tartare and it was so good. We most always order the ribeye and they cook it to perfection. And the cream brûlée is made so well with a great crispy top. If you let them know you are celebrating when you make your reservation they will make it special for you.

Celebrating Moms 93 years birthday and how special we were treated. The napkins were coordinated to make sure we didn't get fuzz balls. The steak, the Smokey manhattan the desserts and all were so far above and beyond. Dan served us with the best there is in professionalism and comedy. Ya gotta go!

My husband and I came here for my dad's birthday and it was my first visit. It's a very nice steakhouse! We arrived on a Tuesday and it quickly got packed due to their steak specials on Tuesdays. Service here is fantastic! I'm so glad quality service has not fully gone extinct! Our server was Jack Frost. I'm not kidding! He was a great server and really added to our experience despite some mix-ups he had. And I'm so sad that when he packed my leftovers, he forgot to put in my loaded baked potato and the creamed horseradish for my prime rib! Ugh! But I got over it because at one point, he accidentally came over with a to-go creme brulee that we didn't order. Then he felt bad about it and gave it to us on the house (on top of my dad's free birthday dessert). Okay, the food. Great food! I tried my stepmom's gapacho (did I spell that right?....basically rare thinly sliced steak) and WOW, I'm ordering that for myself next time!! DELISH! I had a bowl of lobster bisque and it was very tasty. The prime rib was great and Jack told us a few times that it's cooked for 12 hours. I was a bit surprised to hear this because we just made prime rib for Christmas and it was not cooking for 12 hours but was just as--if not more--tender! I do think the prime rib could use a much more flavorful exterior bark. I also had a cocktail called Caribbean Passion and it was also great! I would give this 4.5 stars technically, and I would definitely come back--especially for a special occasion! Check out their website for more details on their specials/discounts!

I was here for a private event and got the pork chop. Wow it was amazing! Juicy and full of flavor. The staff were very helpful as well.

Ok don't ask what we were doing in Florida. Suffice to say it was a quick business trip and pretty exhausting. This is the land of strip malls and chain restraints and megastores so our expectations were pretty low. We were there just before the holidays and reservations were hard to get. When we pulled up at 8pm, it was clear why. This place is enormous and was filled to the brim with parties and families. Still we were serve promptly and the service was really good. We wanted to get our orders in as we had a 7am flight the next day and they were super accommodating. Suffice to say this is classic over the top American cuisines. For instance the appetizer is a maple glazed bacon. These things are enormous and at least inch think and list have a gallon of sugar and maple on them. I have to say they were delicious hit so rich I'm sure my boood glucose popped to 1M. They serve them dripping on foot high racks which is definitely an interesting presentation. They have a massive wine list and we had some very nice Italian wine. For our main course we tried the coffee crusted steak. I think it was a rib eye. The meat was well cooked but the coffee grounds meant that it couldn't really get the deep sear which we love so much. We couldn't have the sauce (dairy everywhere), so I'm sure that would add to the flavor. This was grain fed beef I think as the actually flavor was not that robust but it was very tender. Overall YMMV, but we like our steaks much more seared and then grass fed. The ambience was like an old English manor which is pretty interesting in suburban Florida but it worked. The happy families and people all around were great. The service was great and attentive and they were working really hard that day. For our party there was a 20% included gratuity and we definitely added to that. Nice spot in Clearwater :-)

I came here for a business dinner earlier this week and had a wonderful time! Excellent food and great service in an elegant setting! I began the evening with Bascom's Smokey Old Fashioned, which was both beautifully presented and delicious! The Billionaire's Bacon - with a tasty black pepper coating - was quite tasty (and I normally don't even enjoy bacon)! I enjoyed my six ounce filet, as well as the multiple side dishes our table shared. The wait staff was attentive, prompt, and took good care of our group. The space had a traditional steakhouse feel. Overall, we had a great experience here! This is definitely an excellent spot for a business dinner.

This is my second time here & I love it. Everyone is so friendly, the restaurant is clean. Food rating Garlic mashed potatoes 10/10 Cesar salad 10/10 is my favorite Asparagus 8/10, only because it's not a favorite veggie of mine Filet mingnon with a side of chimichurri sauce 10/10.

The food was soooo good and fulfilling. Thankful for leftovers. The ambiance of the restaurant is really great, the lighting truly sets the mood. The service is probably the best thing about Bascom's. Everyone is very friendly, attentive & knowledgeable. We had a nice spread consisting of shrimp, bison, lobster Mac n cheese and a beef pasta containing mushrooms, tomatoes and beef. My review doesn't do this place justice. Stop by and see for yourselves how great Bascom's is!

This place was awesome. My ribeye steak was cooked to perfection. The flavor was out out of this world. It's prob a good thing I do not live in Florida or I would be eating too much red meat coming to this place all the time. Billionaire bacon has a little too much pepper for me. That was alright. If you like pepper and sugar, give it a try. Customer service was outstanding. Why the 4 stars not the 5...sides were good but I've had better. 4 star worthy is still good!

I always love a good steak and Bascums didn't disappoint. The food was great, decent atmosphere considering how busy it was... The service was fantastic from the moment we walked in to the moment we left.. thank you for a nice meal and a great experience.

Celebrated my birthday yesterday here. The food was amazing and the drinks outstanding. But the waitress Thy was not very personable and we felt VERY rushed our bread was just placed in top of the menu my husband had to move the food off the menus. We received our check with our dessert? What if we wanted something else ? Also the waitress told my husband sorry I charged you for the dessert , but I took it off . Ok but never did she acknowledge the birthday. The whole experience was just lacking . And this was not our first time coming to Boscom's . A little disappointed with the dinner last night .

Most definitely, "elegant". Very nice, upscale steakhouse. Our steaks were seasoned and cooked well. I had the filet, my friend, the prime rib. Having to pay extra for all sides didn't sit well with me. $49 & $36 for a piece of meat on a plate with nothing by onion straws? It seems like a small dollop of mashed potatoes, rice, or a few pieces of broccoli would be an easy add. The bread was appreciated but it would be better if warm. There are a lot of wine options. I opted for a nice cab; he got a beer. The baked lobster and cheese appetizer was tasty but had very little lobster to be honest. 6 very small pieces in an escargot vessel smothered in cheese. We were seated right away even without reservations. It was quite early. Our waitress was very professional and nice.

The food is always prepared perfectly. I have never had bad service and the restaurant is always warm and cozy

My first time here. Sadly, not as good as I had hoped. The good news: My French Onion Soup was a very good start. Lots of cheese, flavorful broth. Our server was pleasant and attentive. I chose to have the garlic shrimp appetizer and asparagus for my main. The shimp came in an opaque orange sauce that spoke more of paprika than of garlic. They were over cooked but still palatable (it's very difficult for shrimp to be cooked so badly I refuse to eat it) but I should have sent the asparagus back. Mostly over-large, woody spears with only two small, properly trimmed stalks. No seasoning at all and no sign of a grill. I ordered the flourless chocolate torte to take home for dessert. It was delicious, but a friend at the table exclaimed "I didn't know they had mini-desserts!" Yes. It was tiny.

Great atmosphere , service, but most important is the food! Well experience in the food industry, so I am very finicky in everything when it comes to great food, service, cleanliness! You'd be doing yourself a service to come here!

The food was absolutely amazing. What was disappointing was how our server was somewhat neglectful. The chef was able to accommodate my allergies which is nice, it is very hard finding places who can honor Gluten Free. The Old Fashioned drink presentation was very unique and contributed positively towards the experience. I do wish our server was more attentive to us, I feel that we were overlooked as the majority of the crowd is on the older scale and seeing a younger couple at such a costly restaurant was expected to not tip well or be taken quite as seriously. I do feel that there were many missed opportunities due to the fact that the waitress barely came around to us. We ordered the bacon as an appetizer and would have ordered more. Also our drinks were empty, and then I needed some help with the menu in regards to what could be GF and she was nowhere to be found. For quite some time. Our tab came to just under $350. I do expect a better acknowledgment from our waitress, especially at that cost. Overall, only because of the food, we will return.

We love to eat at the bar no matter where we go. Bascom's has a nice bar and very accommodating bartenders. While we have been just twice we always recommended Bascom's to everyone looking for a great steak house even though we live in northern Pasco county. Highly recommend

Good food! Superior service and a very classy ambiance! They are known for food quality and trust me when I say they deliver!

We've been in love with this place since 2019 and visited every time we are in Clearwater usually celebrating birthdays. This time we were in for mine and my daughter's birthday and enjoyed everything as always. We didn't have a chance to take pictures of the desserts because we ate them at once! We had Truffle fries, few salads, pecan flounder and steak. The food was delicious. Jason was very knowledgeable and pleasant. And the whole atmosphere is perfect very fancy and exquisite. Can't wait to celebrate here our next time!

The service was incredible and server was great. However, the food was a huge disappointment. I have never complained on my food at a restaurant but my scallops was so undercooked they were slimy in the middle. The waiter took them back then they came back black but at least not slimy. My husband got the Japanese steak which he said was not impressive. For the money it cost you expect better food. And have had better food experiences and expensive locations.

Our server was very nice and really liked him. BUT! Totally not worth it. The scallops were way undercooked and like eating slime. We sent them back and they came back super burnt. It was like the chef punished US for HIM serving undercooked scallops. I ordered the very expensive Japanese Wagyu steak, it was very burnt on one side so they hid the charred side on the bottom hoping I wouldn't notice it. I ended up just scraping off the burn because after what they did to the scallops I figured the chef would have his precious little pussy feelings hurt and spit on the steak. So I just delt with it myself. I promise I won't come back!

The food, the service and ambience was amazing! We were just passing through St.Pete's. We hope to be able to return for another dining experience.

The food was amazing best steak I've had in a long time! The service was excellent, our waiters were attentive and friendly. The ambiance was beautiful oh and the golden fork was a nice touch. We will be back! Thank you for a lovely evening!

This place know their business: good food and good costumer service. Food was good and server was good. The ambiance was a mismatch of old school steak house and ...I dont know, sports bar? It wasnt cohesive. Bread service? Really? We ordered it instead of an appetizer. Usually bread is complimentary, yet no free but rather is included in the overall cost of the items in the restaurant. Now, if you want to call it "bread service", in my opinion it should include a variety of different types of breads and butters/spreads. Anyway, I'll probably try it again, not the so called bread service but the restaurant.

The best food and service in the area Once you eat at Bascom's you will keep coming back!!

Our waiter Mark was awesome. Very attentive. The ambiance is nice. We were seated near the bar and it was a little loud. The food is amazing. Steaks very tender and delicious. We had shrimp for our Appetizers. The garlic cream sauce and shrimp cocktail. It was the best. For sides we had grilled asparagus Oscar with lump crab meat. They were yummy. My husband had the porter house ave it was cooked to perfection and delicious. I had the Australian New York strip. It was very tender and juicy. I would recommend this restaurant. We will be returning to try other items.

We have lived 17 minutes from this restaurant for 4 years and driven by it about a million times. We decided for our 13th anniversary to try this for our celebration. I kinda wished we had sooner. First, the service is top notch. The food could have sucked and the service would have made up for it. The food did not suck. We had the Saturday special, which was the 14oz filet and lobster. with 2 sides. Caribbean lobster. I didn't know they had lobster down there. We had the Gouda Mac and cheese with mashed potatoes. food was absolutely incredible. The filet had a sear or crust on it I had never had before. At first it was different and it quickly became excellent. Since it was our anniversary we received a complementary crème brûlée which was also incredible. Pricing is decent too for what you get in return. We will definitely be back here again !

Amazing date night spot for me and my fiancé! The service is quick and efficient plus he loved that he was able to see the bar TVs for the game from our favorite booth. It is still very intimate and the food is always so delicious and perfectly presented. I usually get the lamb chops or salmon. He will get porterhouse or bolognese pasta (when it's available). We usually end with a sorbet or seasonal ice cream.

A planned visit.. went to Bascom's Chop House for Mothers Day.. BUT went on a Tuesday (05/14/24) why.. Tomahawk Tuesday ( besides I was in Boston on Sunday) . Anyway it was awesome, the steak was like 38 oz , medium rare and plenty for the 3 of us.. we even brought home leftovers. The sides were hot, fresh and very tasty (lg baked potatoe , garlic mashed potatoes along with very spicy roasted carrots). Needless to say the meal was delicious. Only draw back was our reservation was for 8pm... kinda late.. one of the few available spots. On another note and I said it before BASCOM'S is locally owned and operated... yaa again. Service was good our waitress was very attentive/ professional. Kudos to the chef, wait staff and the owners for keeping it family oriented.

A delicious meal fit for kings! Alyssa was super nice and accommodating as was all the staff we interacted with. The dining room was comfortable and quiet with dim lighting. Mom and dad had filet mignon served with yummy onion strings. I had the 18oz ribeye. Our sides were yummy asparagus and garlic mashed potatoes. I tried the smoked fashioned with the recommended Whistle Pig which was yummy and a Gravel Pit Pinot from Russian River. We took home the blueberry cheesecake provided by the restaurant for free for dad's birthday. All in all a wonderful meal.

Went to dinner at Bascom's for an early Mother's Day / birthday dinner for party of 7. Mother in law uses a mobility scooter and they were very attentive in making sure she was settled comfortably. Christopher, our waiter, was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. We never had to request a refill on drinks or ask for dishes to be taken away. Appetizers, main courses, and desserts were excellent as usual. I also suggest joining their free rewards program. The points add up fast and can be used as real dollars off your bill. Bascom's is one of the most underrated steakhouses in Tampa Bay. I would put their beef / entrees up against the more 'popular' steakhouses any day. Will be back, hopefully soon.

Phenomenal! I was in town from Chicago and was told by so many people to come here. Food was great, and our server Kathy was so kind. Will be back!
