Dry-Aged Excellence
Wood-Fired Tradition
Englewood, Florida's Premier
Steak & Seafood Restaurant Rooted in Tradition, Flavor, & Community
A Celebration of Craftsmanship and Comfort.
Chophouse285 embraces the timeless craft of authentic steakhouses by featuring one of Florida’s rare walk-in dry aging rooms with a Himalayan salt wall and a custom wood-burning grill built by the legendary Chris Demant that serves steaks with unparalleled depth of flavor. Its signature cuts, paired with a wide selection of expertly crafted menu items, offer guests a new twist on the classics stemming from Englewood’s beloved Farlow’s on the Water. All of our pasta is hand-rolled and made in-house. We fillet all of our fish on-site to ensure the customer is consuming the best seafood on the West Coast of Florida. With Laurie Farlow’s Southern charm and Keith Farlow’s Caribbean spirit, Chophouse285 serves as a hidden gem of Old Florida, nestled on historic Dearborn Street.
