The 2.5-pound bone-in tomahawk ribeye deserves an entire article just on its own, but we\u2019ll come back to that in a minute.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, there are two things everyone is looking for: an excuse to hit the beaches, and getting as much value for your dollar as possible. 1200\u00b0 Chophouse lets you do both, and that is why we\u2019re taking this opportunity to spotlight this beloved local steakhouse. It\u2019s a place where you don\u2019t have to sacrifice flavor to make a meal affordable. You can have your steak and eat it, too.<\/p>\n<p>The steaks are of course the star of the show here \u2013 so much so that it\u2019s what the restaurant is named for. All of their steaks are seared at 1200 degrees, sealing in all of the succulent flavor and delivering one of the most decadent steaks anywhere in Florida.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s more than just the steak, and that\u2019s where the value comes in. 1200\u00b0 Chophouse serves a fully inclusive meal. There\u2019s no a la carte ordering to send your bill through the roof. Every entr\u00e9e ordered automatically includes a full meal. Each dish comes with a salad, and each dish is served with a standard side of your choice. And before you can even lay eyes on the salad or steak (or lobster tails!), you always get a basket of bread for the table with a side of their mouth-watering house-made honey butter. One price gets you the full dinner experience, no tricks, upcharges or mysteries.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"169270\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"A steak dinner\" class=\"wp-image-169270\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1200-chophouse-ribeye-sized-1024x576.webp.webp\"\/><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"169270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1200-chophouse-ribeye-sized-1024x576.webp.webp\" alt=\"A steak dinner\" class=\"wp-image-169270\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"621\" data-id=\"169269\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"A plate of fried cheese\" class=\"wp-image-169269\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1200-chophouse-Fried_Goat_Cheese-1024x621.webp.webp\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"621\" data-id=\"169269\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1200-chophouse-Fried_Goat_Cheese-1024x621.webp.webp\" alt=\"A plate of fried cheese\" class=\"wp-image-169269\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"169273\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"A steak dinner\" class=\"wp-image-169273\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Chophouse_surf_26_Turf-1024x683.webp.webp\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"169273\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Chophouse_surf_26_Turf-1024x683.webp.webp\" alt=\"A steak dinner\" class=\"wp-image-169273\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>We should make clear here that this isn\u2019t \u201cbudget steak.\u201d This is one of the best steaks in the region, and it also happens to be one you can budget for, thanks to the all-inclusive setup. Every single steak on the menu is prime grade, and as noted, they are all getting that incredible 1200-degree sear that makes them so juicy and flavorful. <\/p>\n<p>The house favorite is the Angus Rib Eye, the No. 1 choice for founder, owner and restaurateur Dan Casey. When a guy like that is telling you he has a favorite, it\u2019s smart to listen.<\/p>\n<p>However, the previously mentioned tomahawk ribeye is an absolute thing of beauty. If you\u2019re looking for fireworks, this is your pick. Weighing between 2.5 and 3 pounds, the bone-in, prime-grade rib eye is one of the best single dishes in Florida. (Though, of course, it comes with bread, salad, and side.)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"824\" height=\"1000\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"A steak dinner\" class=\"wp-image-169271\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1200-chophouse-Tomahawk.webp.webp\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"824\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1200-chophouse-Tomahawk.webp.webp\" alt=\"A steak dinner\" class=\"wp-image-169271\"  \/>The Bone-In Tomahawk Rib Eye<\/p>\n<p>1200\u00b0 Chophouse has won award after award in its nearly 15 years on St. Pete Beach, and it\u2019s easy to see why. It\u2019s not just the incredible steak, either. The seafood is a star in its own right, which only makes sense given their location along the Gulf. From chophouse shrimp and Caribbean lobster tails to melt-in-your-mouth pan seared seabass, the seafood menu is small but mighty.<\/p>\n<p>With no reservations, 1200\u00b0 Chophouse has some of the most popular tables around. There\u2019s a line on most nights, but they move through quickly. We definitely recommend arriving early on weekends, as this local favorite brings in a crowd. The first-come, first-served vibe is part of what makes them such a community star.<\/p>\n<p>1200\u00b0 Chophouse is open Sunday\u2013Thursday from 5-9:30 pm; Friday and Saturday from 5-10:00 pm. \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.1200chophouse.com\/menus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">See the full menu here<\/a>, and be sure to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=100066234980282#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">follow them on facebook.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There are a lot of reasons 1200\u00b0 Chophouse has been one of St. Pete Beach\u2019s most popular spots&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":212012,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[202,204,203,199,201,200],"class_list":["post-212011","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-st-petersburg","tag-st-pete","tag-st-pete-headlines","tag-st-pete-news","tag-st-petersburg","tag-st-petersburg-headlines","tag-st-petersburg-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212011","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=212011"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212011\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/212012"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=212011"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=212011"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=212011"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
