Why go
Dinner-only hours make Anthony's Chophouse a better fit for a planned Sparks evening than a casual drop-in meal. Book it for a date, business dinner, or celebration when a steakhouse format is the point; look to Grand Café, The Grand Buffet, or Uno Más Street Tacos + Spirits when flexibility, variety, or drinks-first energy matters more.
About Anthony's Chophouse
5 PM is the useful number here: Anthony's Chophouse in Sparks is best planned as an evening meal rather than a lunch stop. The schedule starts at 5 PM daily, with hours until 9 PM Sunday through Thursday and until 10 PM on Friday and Saturday. The dress code is business casual, so plan accordingly.
Use the basics to decide whether it fits the occasion: nightly evening hours, later Friday and Saturday hours, and a business-casual dress code. If the group wants to compare other options, consider Carlillos Cocina, The Grand Buffet, Grand Café, Uno Más Street Tacos + Spirits, or Charlie Palmer Steak depending on the meal you want.
Plan this as dinner, not a spontaneous lunch
The schedule does the decision-making for you: hours run nightly from 5 PM, with later closing on Friday and Saturday. For an earlier meal, aim close to opening; for a later evening window, Friday and Saturday give you until 10 PM instead of 9 PM.
If a specific bar setup, cocktail list, menu format, or seating style matters to your plans, confirm those details directly with the restaurant before you go. Treat Anthony's Chophouse as an evening choice in Sparks.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Anthony's Chophouse reads as a neighborhood-minded American chophouse that favors conversation and quality ingredients over flash. The room is laid out for quiet, focused dining—less spectacle, more measured service—so the emphasis lands squarely on serious cuts and the rituals of steakhouse dining. Rather than a tourist-facing, casino-style spectacle, the restaurant positions itself within the civic dining life of Sparks, pulling from the independent-steakhouse tradition. The result is an intimate, conversation-forward experience where sourcing and the meat program are treated as the primary editorial concerns of the kitchen.
Best For
This chophouse is best suited to evenings when the main event is the food and the company. Its conversation-oriented room makes it a natural pick for date nights, business dinners, and special-occasion meals among locals who appreciate focused steakhouse cooking. Because the piece highlights sourcing, aging and cut quality as the house’s distinguishing features, diners who care about provenance and a serious meat program will find it especially rewarding. It reads as a place for measured, sit-down dinners rather than quick or spectacle-driven outings.
Ordering Tips
Stick to the strengths the write-up emphasizes: the menu’s serious cuts and traditional chophouse focus. The house is known for steakhouse staples—order a notable steak cut, such as the ribeye, and try the crabcakes if you want a seafood starter. The copy also flags sourcing, aging and provenance as important variables in this format; when you sit down, ask your server about the beef’s provenance and any aging program on offer so you can match cut and preparation to your preferences.

Restaurant context
How it compares in Sparks
