10Best Says

Chefs here have taken fast-casual to a new level. At Chop Shop Casual Urban Eatery the food is not just quick and relatively easy on the wallet, it's chef-driven and fresh. Dishes fall in the comfort-food arena but often with a healthy twist. Instead of traditional pastrami, Chop Shop makes its own smoked-chicken pastrami. Menu highlights include creative salads, and the crispy fried organic tofu is a winner, as is the sophisticated kid's menu. But meat-lovers are in for a treat. The 48-hour slow-cooked short ribs and shaved slow-roasted sirloin French Dip will have folks coming back. Creative cocktails, wine and beer give parents a nice option for a night out with their kids. A neighborhood restaurant at heart, Chop Shop has a welcoming, laid-back feel. Nice touches, nice food, nice price.
