Menu is extremely limited, even for a steak house. Seating is limited and the host forgot to even let someone know were here. Found multiple long hairs in my salad. Overcooked my $50 Ribeye into oblivion. Prices dont really reflect the quality/quantity of food. Not impressed with this restaurant at all. Go somewhere else like snappers or oor anywhere else😂 and save your money

We had a little confusion in the seating situation. We were told it was an hour wait. No problem, we will grab a drink at the bar. After an hour we cash out and the bartender tells us that patrons cannot sit at the bar and only order drinks. He was very pleasant and suggested good wine but was rightfully so, a little annoyed. ! Anyway we were seated after 90 minutes and it was well worth the wait. My husband raved about the ribeye, juicy and cooked to perfection. I don’t eat meat. I know, why come to a chophouse? I ordered a salad with the shrimp and scallop skewers. Very tasty! And the Brussels sprouts… crispy and delicious! It was a great meal and our server was attentive.

Usually impressed when I dine here. This year I decided to go for the pork chop instead of steak. Chop was massive and undercooked. Pick the steak.. Augratin Potatoes were spot on.

The service was amazing. The food exceptional. The chophouse shrimp gravy is perfect. Used the crisp moist bread to soak up the yummy gravy 😋 the ribeye steak juicy moist seasoned and grilled to perfection. The porkchop I needed a goody bag.

Listen, every course got better. We started off with the bacon wrapped scallops and they were absolutely delicious! Next I had their salad which is so well balanced and yet it was like eating candy! Loved it. Then the ribeye was cooked perfectly and the crust was so good! Finally, and I can’t say this enough… if all you do is get the chocolate cake… it will change your life. It’s the kinda thing that just shakes your a priori assumptions about what “the good life” is really all about… it is the best thing I’ve tasted and I’m not really a chocolate guy… I do want to mention as a big part of the experience, the staff is top notch. Our waiter knew his stuff and he was very friendly while being very professional and on top of every detail. It’s what fine dining is all about. So special thanks to the staff, they make the amazing food… perfect.

Overall an expensive, mediocre dinner. Every steak ordered at our table was over done by at least two heat levels. Medium rare porterhouse? Medium well. Medium well filet? Show flipping leather done. They asked if they can butterfly the filet to let to be more even cook, which I normally agree as filets are thick and difficult to cook to that level without either under cook or over. But these filets were tiny, 1.5" cuts. Butterflying these cuts left thin sliced steak and then they charcoaled them. This wasn't an off steak from an entire table, every steak (8+) was overly done to the point of inedible. Service was nice but honestly, it should be. The restaurant is tiny, the waiter does not have to travel to see to your needs. The restaurant needs an update to their ventilation as well. The entire space was smoke filled and overly hot after only an hour or so open. Needless to say, we won't waste our time here again. Better, more consistent, and cheaper steaks can be had just about anywhere

different COOK and A young inexperienced server who gave me in my son attitude and didn’t even ask us if we needed anything or how our meal was. I spent $153 and I wasn’t even allowed another bottle of water or dessert. My son and I usually receive very good service from this restaurant and I hope it was just a problem with the server and not the restaurant. I appreciate the discount that the manager applied to our table, but that’s not what I was there for. I don’t want discounted service. But I would appreciate decent service

This place was recommended by our concierge at the Don and it was fantastic. The fried goat cheese was amazing! Wife got the NY strip with Dan’s favorite sauce and I got the ribeye. I’ve paid a lot more at other steakhouses and this was one of the best Ribeyes I’ve ever had. Great prices and steaks come with amazing salad, bread service with honey butter and side. Get there early and enjoy!

This IS a great steak place. There are fancier, more formal, and more expensive beef palaces, but 1200 is up there with them. What you don't get is fancy atmosphere, wine service with a fake French accent, and over the top prices. What you do get is quality beef, good sauces, included salad and starch, and a price that I thought quite reasonable. Wine and beer only, the list should please 85% or more. The bar is for dinner, all the seats being set up. The place is crowded. It has a small footprint and is usually at capacity when open. The service is quick, and tables turn quickly. They do not take reservations so call ahead to check the crowd. It starts to fill around 5. There is a reason they are so busy, don't hesitate to give it try.

If you're craving more than just bar food, this cozy little steakhouse in St. Pete Beach is a must-visit. With its small indoor seating area and a deck that's too hot to enjoy during the summer, the ambiance may be limited, but the food and service more than make up for it. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with great service that remained consistently attentive throughout the evening. Although they only offer beer and wine, the selection is more than sufficient to complement their delicious steaks. We all began our meal with the house salad. It was a delightful mix of favor, and every bite was extremely tasty and fresh. It set the perfect tone for the main course. The star of the show was undoubtedly the ribeye. Juicy, tasty, and tender, each steak was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. Alongside the steak, you have the choice of mashed or baked potatoes. We opted for the loaded baked potato, and it did not disappoint, adding an extra layer of indulgence to an already outstanding meal. A word to the wise: if you plan to visit, get there early. The place opens at 5 PM, and you'll want to line up outside before they open to ensure you get a spot. Despite its small size, this steakhouse in St. Pete Beach delivers big on taste and quality. Highly recommended for anyone in the area looking for a top-notch steak experience.

Update: Came back again this year and still have rave reviews! Jason was our server again and did an excellent job. We just love this place. The quality of the food is second to none! This place is EXCELLENT!! We’ve never been there before and always skip it because it’s steak and we want to eat fresh seafood while we’re in town. I wanted the pan seared sea bass but unfortunately they were out. Should have got there earlier 🙃. We ended up ordering the Ribeye Oscar style and the Filet Mignon Oscar and they were both top notch. The bacon wrapped scallops were so good as an appetizer. We will definitely be making another trip here the next time we’re in town!! Jason was our server. He was wonderful and made it a great experience. Sitting on the patio in the fresh air watching the sun set was nice too.

We heard it was great. NOT! My ribeye was overdone. It was returned and redone. The second one was ok. They don't cook steak on an open grill. It looked fried. Her filet mignon was good. The salad was very good. The restaurant is very small, and even though we showed just after 5, we had to eat outside. The traffic noise and heat made it uncomfortable. The coffee served, even though fresh was lacking. The seating was flat and uncomfortable. The waiting area had better seating. Their parking is very limited. Hope you don't get blocked in. This place is very popular, but we shall not return for a $100 disappointment.

Max Andrews, the Manager is the PERFECT host! We feel like guests in his home when we visit, and the food is soooo good. The Chilean Sea Bass is the BEST I have had, and last night I had the rack of lamb with a port reduction sauce. With 8 large chops (meant for 2 diners) I had a huge portion to take home for tonight. Still great tonight, with still more left over! We brought some friends who had never been there and they were delighted with their meals (steak and the Sea Bass), and will likely be back very soon, hopefully with us.

Find a restaurant at the height of summer, sweat pouring down your face, where patrons line up outside 30 minutes before doors open. Different day. same ritual. Ribeye…sliced, medium = mouthwatering crust. With truffle Parmesan fries..crispy wedges of unctuousness. Broccoli…delish (and who writes a review about broccoli lol) the list honestly goes on. I honestly debated on writing this review out of pure selfishness and not wanting an even bigger line to wait behind. Though with a 4.5 star rating I felt compelled to do this restaurant justice. There is no way it hasn't earned a solid 5 star. From atmosphere and service to flavor profiles and quality. Our favorite in town hands down. Enjoy!

Never had the chance to try the food. It says on their website that they have takeout. I walked over from Island Grand. There were people waiting outside to be seated. Once I made my way to the desk, I was told they DON'T have takeout any more since covid. I said that it is posted online and he said the website hasn't been updated in YEARS. He asked if I wanted to go on the waitlist, but there was an hour wait. I left and I was extremely angry. I tried to call before I left the hotel to walk there, but no one answered the phone. If they did, they would have told me no takeout and I wouldn't have walked there.

We were here on an earlier Friday evening and had to wait about 45 minutes until we could get a table. The quality of the food is absolutely great!! The filet mignon was wonderfully tender and tasted absolutely delicious!! Unfortunately, the meat was quite oversalted and my wife's lobster was quite heavily peppered. The salad was one of the best I ate during our stay in the USA. The service was good and attentive. It's a shame that the chef went overboard with the spices. That's why only 4 stars!

I was very disappointed. I had heard very good reviews and wanted to try this restaurant. After waiting 45 minutes for a table we were seated at the bar and menus were tossed in front of us like we were at a truck stop. It was so loud with dishes banging and staff yelling at each other for more salad plates etc that we were unable t,o talk to each other. Nothing on the menu was explained and I tried to order a glass of wine but the waiter was unable to hear me and thought I ordered a glass of Sprite. My friend scallops arrived almost raw and he had to send them back to be cooked longer. My lobster and steak were good but lobster is hard to mess up. I will definitely not go back to this restaurant.

I normally would say that this has been one of our favorite restaurants on St Pete Beach. After our last visit, I don't know if I would return there anymore. My wife and I sat for about 10 or 15 minutes watching everyone else around us getting drinks and ordering food. No one approached us or greeted us. I finally asked a server if he could help us get service. He told us the manager was training a new server and they would be waiting on our table. We waiting another and still couldn't even get a hello. How can a manager be training a new server and not just swing by and say hello, we will be right with you, just acknowledge that you see us. We got up and decided to go up the street to PJ's. We spent half the money and had great friendly service.

For the drinkers, they only have beer and wine, because They do not have a liquor license. The food is good. My shrimp were sweet, which I don't care for. My steak was medium well, but some parts were medium rare, which I wasn't pleased with. The butter was way too sweet for the bread. They use a lot of sweet sauces for their foods. I don't like sweet foods. I'd get candy if I wanted sweets . The salad comes sweet, so I didn't order a salad. Our server was very nice.

The house salad had a unique flavor profile with greens with balsamic vinaigrette along with craisons, apples and candied walnuts. 👍 7 Oz Filet was delicious but certainly did not come out of a 1200 degree broiler. Garlic mashed were seasoned well and not overpowering. The bread is flat out the bomb. Only disappointment was they only have wine and beer.

This restaurant doesn’t take reservations. When we got there we waited for an hour and 20 minutes outside. Luckily they had couches and patio fireplaces to keep us warm. I wasn’t impressed with the whole vibe of the restaurant. Just wasn’t what I expected. Food was average. My lobster was so salty they forgot to bring the bread out and the bruschetta had onion (lots of it). Was not a fan at all. 225 for four people is fine but not for average food and experience

4 of us ate here 02.04.24 and the steaks were really tough to the point we could hardly cut them. We all ordered medium and one came really well that really vouldn't be cut and was sent back and replaces with an almost fully rare steak. One was slightly pink in parts and well in other parts and I had to cut it by stabbing the steak with the knife and trying to saw it straight down because I couldn't get the knife to cut it normally. The other was well also and all were pretty chewy. I gave up on mine and only one actually finished the steak. I got potatoes augratin that came burnt to a crisp, some got a Gouda cheese sauce that was an overly thick gelatenous goo, and the chocolate torte came out 5 minutes after it was ordered and was hard and dry. Took one bite and din't want anymore. We aren't picky, we eat steak often, this was like trying to chew through 1 1/2 inch complety dried beef jerky to explain the toughness. I understand this wasn't a normal experience there but they haf 4 tries on food for one table and all four were the same so we won't be back. The people were nice, the service was great the food was not good, and the chairs outside were dry on top but when you sat down you got soaked from moisture under them and the restaurant was smoked out from burning steak or burning grill sediment.

If you are craving a perfectly prepared steak, you will not be disappointed! They do not take reservations, so you may have to wait a while for a table. IT IS WORTH THE WAIT! We started with Chophouse shrimp- delicious! And the freshly baked bread with sweet honey butter-delectable! I had the ribeye with gorgonzola sauce, a perfectly prepared taste sensation! The filet mignon, ribeyes, and strip steak were all cooked to perfection. The house salad served with dinner was a perfect combination of nuts and berries, which far exceeded our expectations. It was extremely busy and not once did our waiter make us feel rushed. Our drinks were never empty and the courses were perfectly timed. Bravo! A real steak house with exquisite service in a relaxed atmosphere. A MUST TRY! Extra kudos to RICHARD, our waiter. He is the REAL DEAL!

Just a fantastic little restaurant that cranks out some solid food in an intimate cozy setting. My petit filet had a wonderful char and great flavor. Each steak comes with a salad, bread rolls, and a side starch (potatoes). I recommend adding the Gorgonzola to your steak. My only complaint is the space is quite small and cramped. Once you are seated it is cozy but waiting for your table can be a pain as there is zero space to wait indoors and it can be hard to reach the bartender as the bar is typically full with guests. Other than this, I look forward to going back the next time I am in St. Pete Beach!

We had been thinking about trying out 1200 Chophouse for a while. Just disappointed that we waited so long. The salads were very good, the steaks were terrific and the staff was very nice. Loved the augratin potatoes. We will be back.

Tolles Essen, nette Location. Leider ehrlich begeht bei den Locals dadurch bedingt am WE Wartezeiten um einen Tisch zu bekommen. Trotzdem zu empfehlen.

Most amazing steaks you will find in the area for a very reasonable price. It's great for a date night or if you have company coming from out of town to show off the area. Our go to is a ribeye that we share with this great sharing policy that they have. No reservations, so just be prepared for that but it is well worth the wait.

Wonderful food, great wait staff, A birthday dinner for my husband. No reservations- accepted. Small venue, inside/outside dinning. We chose to eat outside under a heat lamp, was very good. Crowd didn't seem to wait long if you wanted to eat inside, maybe seats 50. If steak is your thing this is a place to eat it; grilled to perfection.

Favorite steakhouse since moving to Florida a year ago. A bit small and crammed inside but the food more than makes up for it.

The place is incredibly small, the service was amazing and the food was really good. I talked with some really nice locals while I ate at the bar. 10 out of 10 would return the next time I'm in the area!

Small cozy place, have indoor and outdoor seating. The highlight is the salad and bread. Those are really good, but the main dishes tomahawk steak was a bit chewy, pheasant was nothing special.

Great steakhouse near the beach. As a beach joint, it is nice and casual. Splurge and get a tomahawk if you are ready to eat.

I have eaten at some of the best steak houses around the world... Chicago, New York, Germany, Japan, Singapore. I know a good filet from an average one. Mike Ditka's in Chicago was my go-to for the best steak, until they closed their downtown location. 1200 Chophouse was across from our hotel, so we decided to give it a try... REALLY glad we did! It's small and quaint and only seats about 30-35 people. Their signature filet which is crusted in their own seasoning mix at high temps was arguably the best steak that I have ever had! It was cooked to perfection, incredibly tender and flavorful. We paired this with a nice bottle of Merlot, and it was a perfect meal. Jason the bartender was super friendly, punctual, and offered great suggestions. If you're in St. Pete, and want a GREAT meal, go here. NOTE: Get there early, it filled up quickly, even on a Sunday.

We were recommended by the Valet guys at the Hotel. Warned it would be really busy. Arrived just 10 minutes before opening and only a few waiting as it was a stormy Sunday evening. Place filled instantly. Fabulous Shrimp in Cajun sauce starter with soft warm rolls. The best huge ribeye steak to follow..might have been 16oz. Shared chocolate dessert. Very efficient service. Back at the hotel the Valet said they'd just had a whole fillet of Wagu delivered. He thought a 4oz portion would be a $100. We'd had a great Mexican, then a Lobster, then a fabulous seafood dinner down in Sarasota, finished off with this worldie steak place. I combined their Poivre sauce with Dijon. I think I hit on a recipe. It was magnificent. Always loved a steak but that was a lifetime best.

We ended up at this restaurant when the prior one we'd chosen bombed. Chophouse is very small but we were seated within 10 minutes. Place was a little smokey with an open kitchen but easily overlooked by the quality of the food (delicious) and the excellent service. Would definitely return. Total bill for two meals and one glad of wine was $125 with tip.

Quaint little local establishment. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. They recommend the gorgonzola sauce for the ribeye. I would believe them! My wife and I loved it.

Best Ribeye Steak I ever eaten in my life. The quality of the Sea-bass and all the other food we had was excellent. The price of that meal worth it !!

Thank goodness we finally found a decent restaurant in this area. You need to be non vegan as the place is all about good quality and substantial meat (and a bit of fish) dishes. The wait is quite long, although we enjoyed a lovely glass of wine (in a proper glass) on the patio outside while we waited. Going later in the evening after 8pm or midweek appears to reduce the wait. A compact menu, but everything was cooked well. The house salad with the entree was delicious too. We’d definitely go back.

Time. I arrived to put my name in for 4 top told it was going to be a 45 min or hr wait by the hostess.6:25pm we live across the street and returned at 7:00 pm and was informed that we missed our table. Soo now we are going put us back on the wait for another 45min or soo.soo we decided to wait for some stupid reason. We waited and it felt as of we were not a bump up priority to them for use making our original time frame.then the we finally got seated at 8:15pm,now the funn begins. Outside super chilly,not wind protection or heat source. Appetizers 1 to 10 scale , 4 steak was 6.5 out of 10,adding mushrooms and onions gets a 2,spinach 2 got cold super fast in our windy cold environment. Soo overall rating is a 5 on a great dayy. I'm a local soo I've been to the best restaurants in pinellas and Hillsborough.

Ordered filet medium - it was brown throughout. Even though it was overcooked it still tasted great.

We hadn’t been here for several years but it's always been a favorite. Until now! On the positive side, we had a very short wait for a table in their nice outdoor patio where you can sip a glass of wine until your name is called. The staff is very friendly. It’s a very small quaint cool place but the noise level is high and it’s not a relaxed vibe. You feel like they want to rush you out to turn the tables over as quickly as possible. The house salad is exceptional as is the warm bread. My steak came out way too quickly and I could immediately tell by touch it was way undercooked— the chef could have pressed on it with back of a fork and been able to tell it was almost raw in middle. I sent it back and it came out within minutes —there was NO change- still blood red and nowhere close to medium. I sent it back a second time and by the time it came back I was done with my baked potato which was undercooked as well! The steak was better that time but still medium rare! I decided no matter how it came out I was going to eat it because I already felt bad. Keep in mind I NEVER send food back - I’m not a picky eater- but this had been inedible even for me. Even though it was still not right it had the best flavor! If it had been cooked right it would have been one of the best steaks I have ever had. We were expecting a slow-paced meal and we were not in a hurry at all to get our food. I wish they would take their time and cook the food properly- not rush it out. Would I go back? Not in a hurry to do so now, but will give it another try one day (and order my steak medium well)!
