What people say, in short
Chop draws steak recommendations across its Toronto locations, including University Avenue. Commenters compare its pricing and atmosphere with The Keg, with some preferring Chop. One diner praises the smoked ribeye without naming a branch. Dissent includes repeated disappointing steak visits reported by one person and another who sees little improvement over a pricier chain meal. These are experiences across the city's outlets, not all accounts of University Avenue.
