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.

    My sister and I had our birthday dinner last night at Bascom's. The food was excellent, except that my prime rib was a little tough due to some fascia that was very difficult to cut with a knife. The meat looked and tasted fine to me. I mentioned it to the waiter (Zack) but didn't bother to ask for a replacement, as the meat was absolutely edible. It was just a little more work than usual. My only real complaint was the noise level after about 7pm, as the room started to fill up. We've noted before that noise can be a problem but this time I left with my ears ringing. I know it's difficult to keep the noise down. Perhaps something can be added to the decor to absorb some of the sound? Unfortunately, due to the noise, I'm not anticipating returning to Bascom's. I'm willing to bet that the noise reached decibel levels that nobody should be subject to chronically. I wonder how many of the wait staff have hearing problems due to the exposure? The wait staff were all hustling as dinner went on but Zack invited us to take our time. We never got the impression that Zack was hurrying us. We very much appreciated that!

    Kristi was our server and did an excellent job. Management also was out assisting where needed and could spot the needs of his guests. Seemed to be a very well run Easter Sunday .

    We have been to Bascoms several times for dinner but never a buffet. Yesterday for Easter the food and variety were outstanding. Everything we tried was very good.
