Why go
Chops Grill is a practical Split pick when you want an easy central dinner that can work for a date, birthday, or business meal without a difficult reservation chase. Choose it for convenience and later-evening flexibility; cross-shop Bokeria Kitchen & Wine for a busier wine-led meal or Noštromo when seafood is the main brief.
About Chops Grill
For Chops Grill in Split, the decision points are simple: it is open daily from noon, closes at 10 PM Sunday through Thursday, and closes at 10:30 PM on Friday and Saturday. The dress code is smart casual, so plan for a neat evening rather than an overly casual stop.
Use it as a practical Split option when the schedule and dress code fit your plans. Judge it by the basics: location in Split, daily opening hours, and smart-casual expectations.
Why it works for a later Split dinner
The schedule is the main advantage. Chops Grill remains open until 10 PM most nights and until 10:30 PM on Friday and Saturday, which gives some flexibility for an evening meal in Split.
For a special occasion, choose it only if those basics match the plan: Split, daily hours, and a smart-casual dress code. For a broader city scan before deciding, use Our full Split restaurants guide, then compare the mood against other nearby picks.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Chops Grill positions a fire-first steakhouse within Split’s seafood-dominated dining scene, deliberately drawing on inland, meat-heavy Croatian traditions. The tone is centered on heat, flame and carefully sequenced protein service rather than seaside simplicity. Its address near Diocletian’s Palace places the restaurant in the old town’s historic fabric, so the experience reads as a classic, place-driven dining option that coexists with the city’s fish-forward houses. The writing frames Chops as confident and focused—a specialist grill that marks a distinct, measured alternative within an otherwise maritime culinary identity.
Best For
This is a restaurant pitched toward evening dining and occasions that reward focused, plated service. The description explicitly distances Chops from casual all-day formats and highlights a kitchen organized around protein and sequencing, which makes it well suited to date nights, business dinners and special-occasion meals. Its Old Town location—within walking distance of Diocletian’s Palace—also makes it a logical choice for visitors and locals who want a purposeful, dinner-first experience rather than a quick café or fish-house stop.
Ordering Tips
Lean into the grill-focused identity when ordering: choose the steaks and other fire-cooked proteins that the kitchen is organized to deliver. Signature items such as tenderloin and ribeye are natural starting points; the presence of monkfish signals a curated seafood option from a predominantly meat-forward menu. Sides like the truffle mash are listed among the house signatures and pair well with grilled cuts. In short, prioritize the grilled proteins and the kitchen’s sequencing rather than expecting an all-day, seafood-centric spread.

Restaurant context
How Chops Grill compares in Split
Chops Grill is the easier special-occasion choice when the group wants a central room and a low-friction plan. Bokeria Kitchen & Wine is better for a livelier wine-and-dinner mood, while Noštromo is the stronger pick when the brief is seafood rather than a broader dinner format.
Corto Maltese is the more casual alternative for diners who want a lighter, less formal meal. Pandora Greenbox is the clearer choice for plant-forward groups. Bajamonti POP is the peer to consider when the decision is more about an easygoing city meal than a dressed-up dinner.
Value comes down to the occasion: choose Chops Grill when central convenience and a more occasion-ready feel matter; choose the peers when the meal needs a sharper identity, such as seafood, wine-bar energy, casual creative cooking, or vegetarian focus.
