    Prime rib, medium
    Lee M.

    Had been given a gift certificate for a celebration so I was looking forward to the evening. My dining partner and I shared a few dishes. Enjoyed the table side bread and roasted green peppers. Lobster bisque was tasty although very thin. Not what I expected. Calamari was good although a bit overdone. I had prime rib, ordered medium. It came out a bit more done than what I expected although to be honest, the restaurant was is very dimly lit. Green beans were delicious, mashed potatoes were ok. We shared NY cheese cake which was fine. Please be aware that the actual price is higher than the online menu. The online menu lists the prime rib as $39 but currently is $49. Parking is sketchy. There is a parking valet available. He waved me through and told me to find parking at the motel. The Tesla behind me got the preferential treatment.

    Butter Cake
    Mira J.

    I've been driving past this place for years, and last night the plan was to go to Fleming's for Tomahawk Tuesday for a date night. But a last minute change landed us here, and will probably become a regular thing. The complimentary valet was definitely a plus in this cold weather, although I wanted him to come inside. The weather was biting. Upon walking in, we were greeted and sat immediately. It's a dimly lit, intimate space and appeared to be great for family outings or a simple date night. The wine and bourbon selection reeled me in, but the prime rib made me a fan! It was soooo tender and delicious. The table side Caesar salad was definitely an experience. I can't say that I've been somewhere and watched them make authentic Caesar dressing in front of me. That butter cake was the perfect end to a great meal and I can't even remember the last time I actually finished or even ordered a dessert. This was absolutely worth it. If you're looking for quality steak, nice ambiance, and intimate atmosphere for your next night out, I recommend stopping in. It'll probably become your go to as it's surely going to become ours.

    Traditional steak place for the fancy date night Came here as a date night option with the girlfriend. She really enjoyed the table side service and everything but the steaks and wanted to share that with me. Parking was...not the greatest. It's a small place that shares its parking with a little motel. If there's no valet, parking is "at your own risk". The service was a little lackluster from our server. She had a lot of backup from the rest of the staff though, who would fix the mistakes right after she would make them. We got the table side Caesar salad, which they make in front of you. A good Caesar dressing made fresh is a rarity now-a-days, and was a treat. We got her favorite dish, the mussels italiano. Lots of meaty mussels in a very rich but not too oily sauce. The only detractor was the table bread was overly dense and not a good broth vessel. We skipped the entree and went for the other table service they offer - bananas foster. They came over with a cart, got the butter nice and bubbly, added brown sugar, then some rum on a nice flambé. It's fun to watch, and who doesn't like burned dark rum bananas with butter over ice cream?! The ice cream was a little icy with little vanilla flavor, but it's all about the topping on that one (the boozy butter bananas). Put that on top of some French toast with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and you got a good brunch item. I give it a 4 because although this is a great place for a date night, the price is appropriate for a steak place. It's not cheap, and it's good to try once but there's little to keep one coming back. Once you get the shows, there's very little variance to the menu and not much else to look forward to. That topped with the hiccups in our experience that night a less than 5 star affair. But it's still good, and a nice spot to celebrate with others. Be prepared for a pricy meal, but also expect a different level of experience versus your standard dining spaces.

    goat cheese crostini
    Kim C.

    I went for the happy hour food and would go back. The goat cheese crostini was my favorite it is almost like a sweet bruschetta with nuts on top. The prime rib egg rolls were juicy and had the best sauce ever. I am a big calamari girl and the calamari was great but just so you can recognize how good the other two foods were, it was not as big as a highlight compared to teh crostini and prime rib egg rolls. I got a cosmo. This is going to be a horrible view especially since I went during happy hour- but it was painfully strong. I couldn't finish it

    Wonderful dining experience from beginning to end. Starting with complimentary valet - that was friendly, professional, and attentive. Upon entry i was greeted right at the door, it was much darker inside then I would have expected, that might be difficult for some to read the menu. But very intimate dining in smaller rooms so you never feel overwhelmed. I had the mussels and a filet. Both beautifully executed both in skill and flavor. Will definitely be back. Highly recommend for an intimate date night or celebration. Personally I just enjoyed the good meal!!

    Happy Hour drinks
    Nicole W.

    On a recommendation of a friend and after reading the reviews, I was really excited to go here. We had driven past here literally 100s of times on our way to and from our kids practice and had overlooked the restaurant on a very busy intersection with no windows attached (sort of) to a motel. I actually think this added to the experience. It feels like a hidden gem. The Caesar salad made table side lived up to the hype as did the filet and banana foster. Great place for a special occasion.

    Best steak ever!

    Came here for our Anniversary, and we had The best meal and best experience we've ever had dining out..Food was the " Bomb" and I drove back the next day to get 2 more slices of carrot cake.. and perfect med rare..

    Still the same reaction from my original post... Wow. We came for happy hour and sat at the bar. Dawn and Robbie were amazing bartenders. Happy hour had great drink prices and great apps that you can need at the bar. And the drinks are drinks, not watered down one bit! We then had dinner at the bar as well. And the steaks are still top notch. I had a ribeye marinated and soy with a pineapple salsa on top, basically it was a teriyaki steak. But on another level it was so tender and so good! The crab cakes as always are huge and delicious with barely any filler just all crab. The calamari with hot peppers next level... Make sure you save room for dessert because the butter cake with the salted caramel sauce is unreal. And there's not enough words to describe the interior. Reminds me of my Italian Grandpa's basement, with Frank Sinatra playing!

    Watermelon lemon drop martini

    The food was delicious. The drinks were strong but tasty. The banana foster table show was amazing. The outside does not compare to the inside ambiance. The service was good the were friendly and accommodating. You have to make a reservation because they fill up fast

    Surf and Turf
    Domonique G.

    My friend & I traveled from Maryland to visit Steak 38 for her birthday. I ordered the ribeye 16 oz with a side piece (similar to a side car but strawberry is used in place of orange). My friend ordered the surf & turf with the Lady Elena as her drink. We also got an extra side of creamed spinach. For dessert, we chose the vanilla buttercake a la mode. We enjoyed our meal and the atmosphere. Pete was our waiter. He was nice and helpful by making suggestions. The owner also came and spoke to us! It was a great night and experience. Thank you.

    Steak Diane

    I learned about Steak 38 a while back but every time I drove by it just didn't look like my style. However, I saw great reviews recently and decided it might be a good spot to go with family. We finally tried it on a Saturday evening. Valet parking is free ( don't forget to tip) and super convenient. Upon entering the restaurant you can tell it's been around for a while. My mom, who is in her late 60s, kept remarking about how she was transported back to the 70s. We were seated in a room covered in white Christmas lights with oldies music pouring from speakers. Warm bread and herb butter was waiting for us on the table. We opted to order specialty cocktails and start with fried zucchini. The fried zucchini was perfectly crispy and well seasoned, served with a sweet marinara dipping sauce. Next up, we did the table-side caesar salad. A server prepares the salad, explaining the ingredients being added as she expertly makes everything before your eyes. I have had a few tableside Caesar salads in my life, and this one can best be described as authentic. Everyone loved it. For entrees, we all opted for steak, although the menu has a ton of options such as chicken dishes, seafood, and pasta. I did the steak Diane and everyone else ordered various versions of Ribeye. All entrees came with mashed red skin potatoes and perfectly cooked green beans. Now, my husband and I dine out at fine dining establishments all the time. We particularly like to frequently upscale steak restaurants. While I wouldn't describe Steak 38 as upscale, it was the first time I ate every single bite of my steak. Cooked perfectly medium, the steak was tender and the Diane sauce was full of flavor. While the bananas foster is prepared table-side and looks great, my family isn't as into banana desserts as I am, so we shared the butter cake, and my husband did the carrot cake. The carrot cake was bigger than my husband's head ( which is saying something). While his was very impressive, the butter cake was incredible. Warm and gooey, served with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce. It was the perfect ending to a delicious dinner. Everyone loved their dinner and one of our family members is VERY hard to please. I read somewhere the dress code was "dressy" but I can assure you that was not the case. The vibe was much more laid back than expected. This is not the type of place where they're clearing the crumbs from the tablecloth and bringing you a warm towel to wipe your hands, but the food renders all of that unnecessary.

    Came here with a friend for a belated birthday early dinner. I was kind of surprised by the fact that it was attached to a motel. From the outside it looks a little weird. Also, the website had a dress code but when we arrived everyone was dressed super casually. When you enter inside, it has a nice intimate and quaint vibe. The hostess was warm and friendly. When we sat down we were given bread, garlic butter and green peppers. Our servers Pete and Joe were really nice and professional. For my entree, I had 16 oz Ribeye. It was seasoned really well cooked perfectly. The mash potatoes and string beans were great sides. The roasted duck was tender and flavorful. When I booked the reservation, I put the occasion as birthday. I didn't even have to tell Pete about bringing a dessert. He already brought one out with a candle after Joe took our plates. I really appreciated that. The dessert was tiramisu. I don't normally like tiramisu but this one was moist and wasn't overly coffee flavored. I enjoyed my experience here overall.

    Ask the Community - Steak 38

    Is it as good as it used to be?

    Others tell me it's the same. I can attest to the quality, value, and professional waitstaff, bartending, and overall excellence. I've been there times in the past few months.

    Any idea on dress code for this place?

    It is generally casual in the bar area and business casual is appropriate for the restaurant.

This was our first time dining here, so we spent some time earlier in the day looking over the menu and decided on our entire dinner order before we even arrived. We arrived 30 minutes before our 6:30pm reservation on a Saturday night for a drink at the bar. We were surprised Eddie V's has happy hour at the bar on Saturdays which offers some $10 cocktails and decent deals on some appetizers. They also had a live Jazz performer in the bar area that was audible during dinner, just enough to enjoy without being overly loud. Our dinner table was dressed with rose petals and a handwritten letter celebrating our anniversary. Between Sarah behind the bar and Michael in the dining room, I thought service was very good all night. We had a Beefeater Martini, The Hope Diamond (Sarah described it as their take on a Lemon Drop Martini just not as sweet or tart), Steak Tartare, Crab Fried Rice (best fried rice I've ever had), Chilean Sea Bass, Crab-Stuffed Shrimp, Sautéed Spinach, Bananas Foster Butter Cake - Flambéed tableside (complimentary for our anniversary). Must Orders: * Steak (filet) Tartare * Chilean Sea Bass * Crab Fried Rice * Bananas Foster Butter Cake Pros: * Service, gestures, and ambiance were exactly what you'd hope for on a celebratory evening (decorated table, complimentary dessert, rose for my wife) * Food was exceptional * Happy Hour 3-6:30 every day * Live Jazz performer (& it wasn't overly loud) Cons: * Special occasion price point (but you are getting what you pay for: service, food quality, ambiance, experience) * Sautéed Spinach was bland Final thoughts: Eddie V's did an exceptional job hosting us for our anniversary dinner. There were many celebratory dinners all around us (birthdays & anniversaries). I would 100% recommend making reservations for any special occasion. I will definitely be back soon for happy hour at the bar as it's more affordable and will save the dining reservations for moments that call for an elevated dinner experience.

She had asked to go a few times, so we finally decided to take her on a Friday evening. I started with a Hugo spritz, my husband got the In-Fashion ( their take on an old fashioned) and my mom just got an unsweetened tea. There was an appetizer special - fried lobster tails with a lemon butter sauce - so we agreed it was a must try. While waiting for our appetizer to arrive we sampled the bread service which was a mix of warm cheesy bread, rolls, a flatbread cracker, and a pumpernickel with nuts and raisins. The bread was addictive, especially the cheesy bread, but we had to save room. The lobster was four small battered and fried tails with a side of lemon butter sauce. They were succulent and tender and so delicious. I could have eaten that as my entree, but you know we had to get steak. My mom got the surf and turf and my husband and I both got the Snake River Farms wagyu filet mignon. I got a side of Courvoisier cream with mine. We also did the au gratin potatoes, creamed corn with bacon, and Brussels sprouts. While I have had wagyu before, this was much more lean than I am used to. That didn't stop me from eating almost every bite. It came with a fondant style potato with onion jam, which was unexpected. The sides were all fantastic companions to our steak. We had to get dessert too because life is short, so we did the coconut cream pie and the flourless chocolate espresso cake. The coconut cream pie is a MUST when visiting capital grille. It's light and airy, the crust is buttery, and the presentation is beautiful. The chocolate cake is rich but not super sweet, with a bittersweet chocolate flavor balancing the espresso. Both desserts were great but I'm partial to the coconut cream pie, and I don't normally even like coconut cream pie much. There's is just THAT good. Service was perfectly paced and attentive. Valet parking is a plus. If you are looking for a more of an upscale spot, add this to your list.

Neither of us could finish the entrees so we asked for to go containers ... and we certainly gobbled the leftovers up the following day.

    This was only my second time at the Chop House (my first being about year ago for my wife's…read morebirthday) even though my wife's family are what you could call regulars. My wife again chose The Chop House for her birthday dinner celebration and for great reason! We came on her birthday, a Tuesday evening, for drinks and appetizers in the bar area. The gentleman working valet was very respectful and professional and while I can take or leave valet in most cases, he definitely added to the upscale experience of the entire night. Upon seating ourselves at a high-top, both bartenders on shift greeted us with huge smiles and very warm hello's. They are familiar faces to my wife's family and were genuinely happy to see us. Unfortunately, we learned my wife's family's favorite server, Debbie, recently retired but great for her! The bartenders were fabulous themselves. Service, personability, mixology skills were all top-notch. They fit the sophisticated vibe of the restaurant perfectly. We started with drinks of course! A Stoli Elit Martini with a twist, a Dirty Martini, an Apple Butter Old Fashioned, and a Tito's and Club. The drinks came out beautifully. Smooth, chilled. I ordered the Apple Butter Old Fashioned as I was intrigued, but skeptical. While I thought it was good, I'd prefer a regular or Smoked Old Fashioned to the Apple Butter. My wife loved it though. We ordered lots of food to split and each appetizer we picked was as good if not better than the next. The Tuna Nachos fresh and had a tropical, savory flavor with pineapple mixed in. The Kona Tips were tender, full of flavor coming from the Kona crust and sautéed mushrooms/onions, and were served in a skillet full of sauce perfect for soaking up with bread. I actually liked the Kona Tips appetizer more than I liked the Kona Crust I got on my NY Strip I ordered last year (the Strip was great I'd just prefer no Kona crust on the entree). The Flatbread De Jour was a Kona Tip flatbread, which you may call us crazy for ordering two Kona Tip inspired appetizers, but the Kona Tips are just that good. The Oysters we had were small (just how I like them) and were up there with the best Oysters I've had. We finished up with Fried Calamari. They were lightly battered, fried nicely, tender, and served over a bed of different hot peppers (when I say hot, I mean it!). Everything was delicious and there wasn't one appetizer we chose that I wouldn't order again or recommend to others. We did order a few more drinks throughout the night -- another Elit Martini and a Hendrix Martini with the appetizers and then Bailey's on the rocks and Frangelico on the rocks as after dinner, dessert drinks. We ordered a Brownie Sundae for the table for my wife's birthday while she was excused from the table and the bartender brought it out with a lit candle. The bartender also brought out a complementary miniature Crème Brûlée for my wife as she acknowledged The Chop House's Crème Brûlée as one of her favorites earlier in the night when we were talking about the menu. I thought the entire night went as good as you could have hoped. Valet, bar service, food, drinks, desserts, atmosphere. Everything was amazing and most importantly my wife had a great birthday. This is two years in a row we celebrated her birthday at The Chop House and I wouldn't mind seeing this turn into her birthday tradition.

    Surprised I haven't been here sooner. Very nice restaurant between fancy and casual with table &…read morecloth napkins. Mike our server was fantastic! He checked on us through out our meal to ensure we were enjoying our meal. We had the calamari and dozen raw oysters which were both fresh and delicious. We had the Chophouse steak experience which worked out perfectly for our table of four and actually could've feed 5 easily. It consisted of 4 cuts of steaks and my favorites were the filet and ribeye. They were seasoned perfectly and grilled medium rare. Our sides were mashed potatoes, CH hash browns, and grilled asparagus. The weakest link was the asparagus which were small in size but still tasty. I will definitely be back based on service, food and value. This is a perfect restaurant for celebrations, dates and casual dining. Definitely a gem of a restaurant. Will be back sooner than later.

    My fitness-oriented friends have been posting pics from here for a while now, and it looked pretty…read moreswanky, so we thought we'd go check it out, with our expectations tempered by a smattering of so-so reviews. The menu is very wide-ranging (a bit of a red flag), so I asked our very courteous and knowledgeable server for recommendations and she steered me to the seafood risotto. My wife ordered the salmon with risotto. (she always orders salmon). While waiting for our food, I nursed a happy hour margarita, which was one of the best I've ever had. Now I know why it's so popular for happy hour. Our entrees arrived about 15 minutes later and we were dumbfounded by how stunningly good they were. Both were absolute home runs in every respect. The seafood risotto was packed with jumbo shrimp and other morsels of seafood on a bed of risotto that was just incredibly savory and delicious. My wife's salmon over risotto was similarly superb, with a milder risotto perfectly attuned to salmon's subtler flavor. There was just no end to the superlatives being expressed after every bite. For dessert my wife ordered the cheesecake with fresh fruit and I the creme brûlée. Naturally we tried each others desserts and switched since my wife liked the creme brûlée better and I the cheesecake. I normally don't order cheesecake because it's generally ultra sweet with no other flavor, but this one was wonderfully fresh tasting; I've never had anything like it! Service was excellent, the space very comfortable and not loud. And the prices are super reasonable too. Cannot recommend it enough!

    Four of us went for a dinner here on a Friday night. Wasn't too busy, but it was a holiday weekend…read more I guess everybody was at the shore. I looked at the menu earlier and was all set on getting a seafood dinner, but when we walked in the smell of steak was so good I changed my mind. We were seated quickly, and the service was excellent. Plus all our meals were absolutely wonderful. Steak was good, as expected for a steakhouse. One of us got clam chowder and a wedge salad. She's from Boston and she thought that was the best clam chowder she's ever had. It's New England style. Drinks were good, no complaints there. Dinner for four was about $300 including tip. A little expensive but not too bad for the quality of the food at a place like this. Good looking and friendly staff. I'll certainly go back.

    The first time I went into kitchen 519 was so long ago. I've gone back since then many times and…read moremust say that the food has really upgraded. Out of all of my visits, my favorite is the weekend brunch menu. There are so many yummy things to choose from like the breakfast burrito, the banana Forester French toast, the various of Benedict's including crab, and there were a bunch of various breakfast sandwiches, but the most menu appealing one that I liked is the pork roll. On my last trip I wound getting a chicken brie apples bacon on brioche bread. It was a special of the day. From the moment I bid into it, I knew I would love it for the savoriness, the crisp and sweet tasting bread. There was a side of potatoes... Very nicely seasoned and the perfect crunch to them. On my last visit, it was a total of 10 people in our group and the customer service was great. We were all able to pay with separate checks... Always a perk. The waiter was super super friendly and kept our coffee refills going. Inside it is busy which could lead away from the quiet ambience, but I didn't mind it at all.

    Wow, this the dining highlight from my recent visit! I was staying in a West Deptford hotel and…read morethis is not that far away. What a neighborhood gem from service to execution. Former home vibe, i was one of the earliest weekday diners. Since it a solo dinner, I opted for a few sides: Kimchi rice Cucumber salad Brussel sprouts (no meat or butter) The cucumber salad was so good, I ordered a second portion!! The tofu burnt ends and bbq jack fruit sounded so intriguing that I almost begged the kind server to ask the chef if they could serve a side portion. Otherwise the bbq is served in pound increments. For my lucky tummy, they obliged and wow those are both delicious vegan options! Maybe next time, i will visit here earlier during my trip to be able to take home leftovers. Booth was cozy and love that water bottle to refill my glass is on my table which sounds weird but I drink alot of water! Small place , would recommend reservations for weekend dining. Parking lot was limited too. Enjoy!
