Great chop bar serving quality fufu with tasty, full bodied soups. There is a wide variety of protein options to choose from including goat, salmon, antelope, grasscutter, snail, etc.

Pascar served me and he did everything to ensure I had the experience I wanted. Explained everything clearly and helped me order the perfect soup.

Excellent food and customer service. If you're in Accra, I highly recommend you visit Heavy Do Chop Bar.

The cuisine was enjoyable, although it took some time to be prepared. However, the overall service was excellent, and the ambiance is serene and lovely. The location isn't crowded and would be perfect for a romantic evening with your partner.

This place is one of the heavy hitters when it comes to local food in Accra. There's a reason why there's V8s parked outside anytime you go there. Yes that's where all the big boys come to eat. The food was definitely up to the hype and I liked the traditional setting with the kitchen stools. I only feel the place needs a visual overhaul to look better. The wall outside didn't look exactly great and the covering on the tables also need to be changed and be a bit more eye catching. And oh, the food is affordable compared to most places I've been to in Accra. Definitely recommend

Do not go there and expect the average Chop Bar price for food and drinks. Was there Dec 2022, piece of goat meat was 20 cedis, fish ranges from 40 cedis to 80 cedis. Bowl of fufu was 5 cedis least. Go prepared in your pocket, especially if it's a date.

Great food and great service from Fidele our waitress. Enjoyed the ambiance also. The outdoor is however pretty warm.

*Went here again and this time I was not impressed with the service at all. The food was not so great either I ordered for a side of spicy chicken wings to go with my spicy seafood fried rice but I didn’t enjoy the chicken. The rice however was tasty and indeed spicy as the name. My friend ordered spaghetti bolognese but she didn’t enjoy because it came cold. She ordered for calamari as a starter but her waiter served the food first and she asked that they returned it to keep warm while she waited for her starter. And when they finally served it , it had gone cold. When we raised our concerns on the service, the guy(supposedly a supervisor) mentioned to us that they had an event at bloom bar hence the bad service because they were understaffed. I found this ridiculous! How do you let an event in a different establishment (whether under the same company or not) affect the work input in your restaurant. And for this reason I’m changing my rating to 3stars.

Been here twice, the first time was just for a drink, and the second time I actually got to try the food. Outdoor and indoor seating available, very clean & modern lavatories. Love the seating arrangements and indoor decor, staff were very polite and assistful. Now regarding the food my salad was decent I liked it, Kelewele was great too not too soggy, a bit hard as I like it. However fried rice and chicken wings didn't quite meet my expectations, rice was way too oily and not soft enough, chicken wings were bare dry and couldn't really taste any spices except being spicy hot. Try their tropical cocktail, that was a good one. I don't mind visiting again tho, I'll give other menu items a try.

I loved all the food I got. It’s a bit to crowded for date night but for a night out with your friends I think you should definitely consider this. The prices are surprisingly affordable with a range from 20-400 cedis. There’s something for everyone. The service was amazing. Thank you Adrianna for being a wonderful waitress

I absolutely loved my experience at this restaurant. The waitress, Adriana was simply lovely and very detailed. She helped us choose our meals when we asked and the food was great! You should try their mashed potatoes! So creamy! And their tropical fruit punch the fruit punch itself didn't taste so great but the tropical was great.

It was also my birthday and they pulled a surprise so beautifully for me. I'd go there again.

Great food but had to wait more than 15 min to be attended to.

After hearing about the good reviews, I definitely had to try it. The atmosphere is ideal for date nights, with a doorman and another waiting to greet you and ask for reservations and actually lead you to a table. The have an outdoor section as well that opens by 5pm.
The ambience was beautiful and the music is good. Really sets the mood

- The service is great
As soon as you’re seated, you’re attended to and you’re checked on throughout your time there.
-The menu has a lot of variety which left me impressed. Generally affordable
Cocktails are good.. I had the blueberry smash(left me a little tipsy)!
For the main course I had the deep fried calamari(was crispy and well done) and coconut rice, also tried the spicy seafood fried rice.
These were satisfying, tasted heavenly and just perfect. For dessert I tried the east end brownie which was sweet and soft. I was actually too satisfied to finish it.

A great experience.

This is a really great spot to day drink with your friends. You’ll need to place your orders as soon as you arrive though since it takes quite some time even the drinks. Their seafood boil wasn’t spicy. I had to ask for a hot sauce to add on. Oh and one of my lobsters wasn’t well cooked - I asked that they take it away and replace it and it never came back. Apart from that, everything was great. We had an amazing time and I’ll go back.

It’s situated in a quiet neighborhood in Cantonments. Great indoor and outdoor seating. Lovely decor and great ambiance. Good staff and customer service. Drinks were nice. Food was good. A couple of misses but would definitely recommend. Would be back to try out more things on the menu. On and the bathrooms were very CLEAN.

Best fufu in Accra so far. Proper Home cooking with no spices overload . 👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭

Heavy-Do Chop bar is one of the best chop bars in Accra , Ghana. Before I even share my experiences first and foremost the food there is amazing. I have eaten there twice and never got disappointed . For foreigners reading this. Chop bar is a place where you get locally made Ghanaian food that need a lot of muscles to make haha. But yeah fufu, banku, rice ball , konkonte etc.

Customer service can be a bit challenging here just because if you are there during lunch time from 12pm till 4pm then there are possibilities that there are so many people and the workers are not able to attend to you or you have to find your hard way out to get your food. But immediately you are almost served things get easier and better. Not all the time but yeah it can happen. Workers are nice but because they get so busy during some periods they seem not nice but they are. :)
