Both had the braised short ribs with mash and root vegetables. Everything was delicious, perfectly spiced veggies. Great balance of meat, veggies and mashed potatoes all cooked exactly right. Crème brûlée was also delicious. Service was great. We went early, 4:30, because we like it quieter and before the kitchen gets crazy. We plan on going back. read more

We like the space and the ambiance and the folks and the service are always good. When they first opened the food was better. After several follow up visits, the food quality has slipped. Basic dishes like chicken strips and waffles were a fail. The chicken was over cooked and barely edible, our entire meal and drinks were comped by the manager, which is a great gesture. But if they can't even prepare and fry chicken strips adequately, something is seriously wrong. Even the burgers have slipped, they are much better at sister restaurant Pour House. The steak is truly average quality. Chophouse has potential if they can get folks to bring more love and magic in the kitchen, but cooperate also needs spend more and selecting better quality meats to serve, and hire a real Chef. read more

Stopped in for lunch on a weekday. Figured I could order a burger medium rare since this is a steakhouse. Unfortunately their mid day chef could not do it. Only 4-5 tables in the restaurant and they cooked it medium well on two attempts. Waitress was kind and offered to try a third time but I declined. Prob not the place to go for a steak cooked properly. read more

Yesterday I decided to stop in here on my way home from work to enjoy some cocktails for happy hour! As soon as I walked in, I was impressed. I loved the modern ambiance and the light colors were so inviting! I chose to sit at the outside bar because it was very open and such a beautiful night! I started with a glass of the house white Sauvignon Blanc which was tasty but the pour was a bit weak in my opinion. I decided to order the buffalo chicken flatbread which was so flavorful and had a little kick to it which I loved. I made friends with the guys next to me so we swapped slices and I got to try their Kenneth mushroom flatbread which did not disappoint. The bartender was also really friendly. I think her name was Caelynn. The staff were all smiles. I even chatted with the manager who genuinely seemed like he wanted everyone to have a good time! I will definitely come back here because the food is great and although some items are a little pricey, it's ok to treat yourself once in awhile! read more

Attended the media preview and was impressed by the decor and the classy restaurant that Chophouse Grille is. There's is a lovely open plan to the restaurant that still is divided into sections. There's a wine cellar area, a dining area, a large bar area with large screen TVs. There's another section that can hold a private event with its own bar and outdoor lounge area. The cocktails are lovely and seasonal and the presentation is classy. There's a wine selection, cocktails, mocktails and more. They have starters, flatbreads, sandwiches and even a whole area dedicated to choosing steak and the catch of the day. Great for business casual, ladies night, happy hours and more. read more

What a great first experience,the wife and I sat at the bar an was tended to immediately she got a tyme lemonade cocktail, I just a whiskey (crown) but was served to us fast and we were looking at the calamari and one of the bartenders said "oh yea there good" so we ordered that as our appetizer and every time a bartender would walk by they would say hi and ask how we are doing (small talk) when it was time to order our main course the wife got the mushroom flatbread and I the Napa valley turkey burger; they both were delicious! And we will return soon . I don't know what people are talking about in these other reviews maybe they are the problem and not the staff . read more

Excellent steakhouse- nothing quite like it in the area. We got the cheese trio and bacon board, the kona ny strip steak, and a filet mignon with the balsamic bacon-onion jam. The steaks were cooked perfectly and everything was delivered to our bar seats quickly. We were served by Audrey, Taryn & Shannon at the bar who were friendly and went out of their way to make suggestions for drinks and entrees. Highly recommend one of the coffee cocktails with the cold brew coffee!! read more

Went here for a post Christmas lunch w/my bf and his parents. The place was quite cold and the service was less than desirable. While we didn't wait to get seated we waited to have our server take our drinks and waited and waited for our drinks the be served. Also WAITED for her to return empty handed to take our order but only at the prompting from us. I will honestly say that we spent anywhere from 30-45 mins before getting our drinks & ultimately ordering our lunch. We were all very patient and she did apologize for the delay after stares from the table but guess what we were still waiting. When we finally got our drinks our lunch was followed maybe 10 mins after. We ordered the calamari appetizer which was good but slightly on the greasier side. Both my bf's son and mom ordered the fish tacos, I ordered the French dip, my bf got the chicken caprese sammie and his dad had the buffalo chicken flatbread. The two sammies were good but I would've like to have known that it was on a sesame seed roll. I also would've thought that for the wait the app or something would've been offered for the inconvenience. It wasn't super busy but a nice crowd. I really would've liked the manager to have at least come to the table to apologize but that didn't happen. Honestly I don't even think she checked on us after we received our meals. I'm not sure if I would be eagerly wanting to head back there anytime soon. read more

love this place great food and fantistic service. Best bang for the buck around the lake.

Wow. The fancier the restaurant, the worse the food. Went here while visiting Exton, hoping to find a good dinner. Ordered the Cedar Plank Salmon, it was rather forgettable and packed with no flavor. The Wild Rice that accompanied it was somewhat frightening and appeared as though someone scraped the pot in order to place something that looked like rice on to my plate. The asparagus was over-cooked. My only enjoyment was the strawberry margarita. Customer base was all white, no diversity. I probably wouldn't go here again because the waitresses seemed uncomfortable around a Black person. 2 stars read more

Took 30 minutes to get our drinks,, they made the wrong entrée ,, server was great ,, but back of house needs improvement

Honestly I would've paid 40 bucks for my 170$ meal, food is okay, on par with Texas Roadhouse in all honesty, even the sides were just okay not bad but if you're trying to impress a date with great food, I'd pass on this place On the. Flip side the drinks were great, i had the old fashion I had was hands down the best I've ever had I'd go back here just for some drinks Servers were very nice, it was a clean place but again, food wasn't worth the price at all for the price I suggest Harry's steakhouse great chefs read more

I came here for the first time here awhile ago, and the food was delicious! Not too much dressing on the Caesar salad + the Chilean sea bass was very tasty (portion was a bit tiny, so order appetizers if you showed up with an appetite!)! My server was very attentive and made sure I had enough wine. I would definitely go again! read more

Went here on a dinner for 4. Started with a wonderful tasting lavender martini. Also tried a glass of champagne to stat dinner - it was not a recently opened bottle and was sub-par. Tried the brussel sprout and the calamari appetizers - they were both middle of the road. Two of us got steaks. The ribeye was a little overcooked; that steak and the filet mignon were middle of the road. Asked for a lot of sautéed onions and received a little dollop. Asked for more and got another 1.5 dollops. They served a sauce with the steaks - they didn't explain it and I tried it with the veggies and it gave them some added flavor but unsure if it was a dip for the veggies. Bar service was pretty good, table service middle of the road (didn't remove used plates and utensils for a while, water refills too infrequent, wait staff not very cordial). Parking was jammed - had to park in a different lot and walk over. read more

Such an amazing dining experience! The weight staff was very friendly and quick to help with anything you needed. I have a gluten allergy and there were a lot of good options including gluten free buns. The food was very well prepared and tasted amazing. Definitely coming back! read more

Worst service we have ever had. Waited ten minutes for our drink order, bartender just ignored us, with only 3 couples sitting at the bar. Dessert ordered to go and didn't get what we ordered. Entrees were the same, did not receive what we ordered . Bartender never even smiled. Extremely disappointed for the $200 we spent. Do not recommend. read more

I dont know whats up with Chop House - sometimes they are on point and sometimes they make you wish you had spent your money at a Wendys ... They served us burned flat bread! For $15 Get it together ChopHouse!!! It's embarrassing to bring out of town visitors to a so called fancy restaurant for crappy food! Should have gone to the Wawa! Smh read more

This is my Third visit the first visit was good the second was not as good as the first and third times the charm but it was a fail. Maybe a great happy hour place but not for dinner I find it very chain oriented over salty subpar service and dinner is just OK. read more

Bunch of us from work decided to Give the ChopHouse Grille a try for lunch. I was looking forward to trying as I've been wanting to go there for dinner. Lunch was awesome! I had the Caesar salad with grilled steak and it was perfect. Perfectly grilled steak and the salad was dressed perfectly. Service was friendly and fast and the outdoor seating was very nice. Can't wait to try it for dinner. read more

We saw the Chop House Grille while driving through Exton and decided to stop in and try it out. The ambiance is awesome. Great bar area, clean and modern restaurant. However, we found that the only thing that lives up to the Chop House name are the prices. As other reviewers point out, service was slow. We went on a Monday, so didn't expect it to be spectacular, but we found ourselves waiting quite a bit. For food, we got the tuna appetizer. It was average. For our meal, I got the salmon and my wife got the scallops. Scallops were good, salmon was just okay. Drinks from the bar were slow and weak. I tried the old fashioned off the menu and it was more sugar than bourbon. I would do again for a quick lunch, but not worth the price for a nice dinner. read more

Last evening we joined our son and DIL for appetizers and cocktails at the Chophouse in Exton . They never disappoint! Appetizers and cocktails on point. Our server Claire was so very attentive. Made sure we were well taken care of. She was a real pleasure. Thanks Chophouse for being a consistent positive experience every time we dine there!! You all are outstanding! read more

Much as I hate to say it. This place is overpriced and the food just isn't worth it. With so many other options, I wish them well, but if you enjoy good and good service, this isn't up to the minimum standards read more

I go here religiously when I'm in the area for work travel. The margaritas are ALWAYS on point.m; which is saying a lot because I'm very snobby about my margs ratings . The Brussels are also delish! Highly recommend! read more

ChopHouse Grille - Margarita with salt rim - Steakhouses Near Me - Exton, Pennsylvania

Had dinner here recently for the first time. Appetizers were great, but ribeye steak (for $40!) was choice quality at best. Expected better for $40. Ordered medium rare and came out medium well. Sent it back and it came out at the correct temperature but it took too long and was tough. Everyone at the table was finished eating when it arrived. Server was pleasant and adequate but not superior. Restaurant has nice ambiance but is, in my opinion, overpriced. read more

First impression left us leaning towards "may not" give it a second try. We started with the artichoke and spinach dip, stated it was made with two types of cheese and a crumbled ritz cracker. First, the cracker is not necessary, but what would be is a more flavorful cheese selection. Instead of ordinary parmesan maybe switch it to a pecorino romano parmesan to give it a little more taste. It was pretty bland. The Ahi tuna, well you can't mess that up, but the slaw was not an Asian slaw at all. It consisted of pre cut bag of purple cabbage and carrots tossed on the plate with a few pieces of seaweed salad mixed in. It was dry, (dehydrated dry) and extremely disappointing. I would suggest looking into a more true Asian slaw to accompany the tuna or maybe just serve seaweed salad. The side of asparagus, these were grilled correctly, but someone forgot to cut, (if not at the least peel), the ends. Each piece was woody and hard. The cauliflower which I was looking forward to, was also disappointing. It is not an au gratin, maybe they thought they could call cauliflower in lukewarm cheese sauce au gratin because they again crumbled that random ritz cracker on top, but that is not what makes something au gratin. Last item that we sampled were the short rib tacos. The short rib was good, we have had better, but they were cooked properly. But out of the three only one had all the fixings inside. It was like someone in the kitchen got side tracked and filled one and then tossed the plate under the heat lamp before they finished filling the last two. So the 2 stars are for the food only - BUT NOT the serves. The hostesses where friendly and greeted us immediately. The the bar staff (we sat at the bar to sample the menu) were nice, friendly and very tentative. read more

Got food poisoning from eating there yesterday. Had the short rib. Which is a shame as yesterday visit was an attempt to having a better dinning experience. $160 to get sick, we won't be going back this time. Our server wasn't the most friendly either. read more

Fantastic service. Short rib and prime rib dinners were out of this world! Would highly recommend ChopHouse for dinner read more

We have had our eye on this place for quite some time. We were excited to finally have a date night. We decided to check it out. We thought it was a casual bar and grill. Luckily we were dressed up. The prices were a lot higher than we had anticipated but the atmosphere was really cute. It was a romantic spot. They had really fun drinks too! Unfortunately we could only afford the cheapest sandwiches on the menu but we were happy they had that to offer and they didn't only offer the expensive entrées. It is very modern and chic :) read more

The restaurant was really nice and had a premium feel to the atmosphere but honestly I wasn't super impressed with any of the food. It wasn't good just nothing notable especially for the price. read more

This place is brand new and not far from my home. Bad combination. Been there 3 times already. Great wine list. Chic, modern decor with an open layout. Decent happy hour choices. Staff is extremely friendly, accommodating and enthusiastic. Flatbreads are amazing. Very visible from Rt. 100 and has plenty of parking room available. Have only experienced bar food so far but I plan on a serious meal soon. Hearing a lot of people talk about their Old Fashions. Roll in one night soon. You won't be disappointed. read more

Stopped in at ChopHouse Grill for Expresso martinis - Alejandra makes one of the best!

Amazing food, amazing service, amazing deck bar. Tim and Jess are just great! Helpful, knowledgeable, and attentive during the meal. Both made great recommendations and the food is divine. The interior is gorgeous. The manager Joe stopped by during the meal and made sure everything was cooked to order and the experience was highly enjoyable. Staff is friendly and genuinely cares to make conversation with their customers - would definitely recommend. Excellent wine selection...Get the potatoes and cheese plate - Worth every dollar! Will definitely be back soon, and will likely be my new favourite place to treat myself in town. read more

Not impressed. We were there during happy hour. Table of 4. Our server brought my wine out in the carafe not bringing me a glass. We had to had the house Manhattan made over it looked like a tan Martini. I had the Cobb salad with BC dressing on the side. The BC. And dressing were all on the side. Our friends asked their server the size of the French dip sandwich, he really didn't know. In a nutshell training is needed before you have them serving on a Friday night. And the people bussing the table were SO annoying we were still eating and they're asking us to grab our plates. AND we were charged Full price for our happy hour drinks. It was finally corrected but our server definitely needed more training read more

Very underwhelming food with an exorbitant price tag. My wife and I both had steaks that were below average; hers was a tough NY Strip and mine was a blah ribeye. We shared the mashed potatoes which were also very blah and just average. The cheese board appetizer was good but didn't come with enough bread to use up all the great jellies and cheese. Going to need to really improve if they want to succeed and charge those prices. Still disappointed the next day! read more

ChopHouse is off to a good start but, like any new restaurant, it has some work to do. The space is great - spacious and modern - a little on the noisy side (they need to invest in noise dampeners). Check-in was quick and we were taken right to the table. Food needs some work for the level they are trying to achieve: Starter was Spinach/Artichoke cheese-dip - it was like a bowl of spinach without cheese. (C-) French Onion Soup (my litmus test on a great steakhouse) - it was a bowl of sauteed onions without broth - there was no "soup". Flavor was ok. (C-) Brussel Sprouts were charred beyond recognition (D) Shrimp Scampi was fine but average (B+) Filets were great and well seasoned (A-) accompanying sauces were weak - horseradish little flavor and whiskey peppercorn was oddly sweet Deserts - the over-priced desert-shots (the margin makers) Nice wine list Service was good and I loved seeing that there were multiple managers roaming the floor supporting their team and attentive to customers. I am going to wait a few months and give them another shot. I'm hoping they can kick the food up a few notches so we can once and for all have a great steakhouse in Exton! read more

Wonderful anniversary dinner! The food was amazing & our Server was great; I highly recommend ChopHouse Grille. My husband ordered the Prime Rib and it was cooked to perfection and the steak sauce was also delicious. I had the delicious seared scallops with risotto, brussel sprouts, and butternut squash. We were celebrating our anniversary & I let the restaurant know in advance with my reservation. Our waiter greeted us at the table with complimentary glasses of champagne for our celebration. We received excellent service all night. read more

I really like it here! My husband and I will always pop in without a reservation and sit at the bar to have dinner. It's a nice bar and vibe in there. Food is good and drinks are too! read more
