There isn't a single thing I could complain about at The Chop House. We enjoyed drinks, appetizers, steaks, desserts, and espresso, and every single item was excellent. My wife is usually very particular about how her steak is cooked, but The Chop House got it exactly right. Even though our server was quite busy, she was attentive throughout the evening and never left us waiting. We had an incredible time celebrating our 16th wedding anniversary here. The restaurant has a warm, romantic atmosphere, making it a perfect choice for a special occasion or date night. read more

The Chop House offers a grand experience in a classically vintage property sitting stately downtown Grand Rapids, it holds everything a steakhouse should. Walking in, the hostess was extremely sweet and welcoming. Our service team was just as gracious. I have not experienced this level of service in a very long time. Perfection! My martini was exactly what I had in mind. I wanted a citrus martini extra cold. Our server shook the shaker at the table and asked if it was cold enough for me. It had a little squeeze of fresh lemon that has me thinking about its perfection still. Our dinners were more than delicious. Layers of flavor, executed with precision, surprised and delighted us. My steak was cooked to the perfect temperature. My friend's salmon Oscar was incredible. The potatoes were gooey good. We commented on the tasty dinner rolls and the server sent us home with a few. Make sure to notice the delivery of your entrees. Two servers arrived, raised the plates above our heads, and made a toast with the tap of our plates together, before placing them in front of us. We got a kick out of it and won't forget it. read more

This place is amazing. Great steaks but don't sleep on the seafood here. Dover sole (either way they prepare it) is outstanding. The grouper is excellent, their queso shell fish is great. The wine list is great as well. The staff is second to none. They run a top quality business. It is not cheap, if you are looking for a cheap steak go to Ponderosa. If you are looking for a great place for a date or important business meeting, head to the Chop House! read more

I'm not always a steakhouse fan, however, I always tend to end up at them. I was impressed with the service. They definitely made it a point to accentuate how they serve the dishes, the timing of serving the dishes, as well as even cleansing hands prior to main dishes being served. The New York strip was cooked perfectly, the lobster bisque was solid, we had the diver scallop appetizer, and all of the sauces that came with that we're not only visually pleasing to the eye, but fantastic to eat. Thank you Kennedy for great service. Oh, almost forgot, the Brazilian cheese popovers that they serve you are phenomenal. read more

What an amazing night at the Chop House! Thank you to Brandon and the staff. The food was exceptional. The seating was perfect. The Chef and Kitchen Staff knocked the food out of the park! Everything was delectable. We could not have had a better night. My apologies for celebrating so loudly... but we were having such an amazing time we could barely contain ourselves. The staff was excellent and we appreciated their exceptional attention to detail. And their amazing service to our party. It was the topper on our evening. We can't wait to come back...and we promise to keep it down! read more

First time here and on my birthday and it was a real treat! I've never been inside and realized how deep it goes! We were brought to a dim lit area downstairs and the vibe felt moody and romantic. Right away we were greeted and got water and some drinks ordered and they brought us some bread and butter to eat while we picked out what we wanted for dinner. I already had decided on trying the Beef Wellington because I've always been curious about that dish and had never been anywhere fancy enough to serve it. Since this restaurant serves items à la carte we decided on two sides: we ordered the brussel sprouts and the au gratin potatoes. Both were unbelievably good! The brussel sprouts had Dijon mustard and bacon lardons which made the sprouts shine and the au gratin potatoes were rich and cheesy and I loved them! My Beef Wellington really exceeded my expectations! They mentioned with it having a puff pastry the steak could only be cooked medium rare to prevent the pastry from burning which I am completely fine with. The puff pastry and the filet were so good together especially with the Cabernet demi glaze that came with it. The flavors really complimented each other so well I finished this and was super satisfied! I also want to mention I've never been to a restaurant that plated everyone at the same time. It felt very fancy and special and was awesome to see all around us. My water glass was never empty either! The servers were obviously very well trained and so helpful. For dessert we ordered the peanut butter tart and that was so yummy! They drew a happy birthday message for me which always makes me feel special no matter what age I am. Loved my experience here and would gladly recommend and return here! The prices are elevated but not as bad as you'd think! It's definitely a special occasion spot for your loved ones! read more

My daughter and her boyfriend surprised me for my birthday and it was so amazing!!! From the moment we walked on to the moment we left, we were pampered and taken care of. Everything done at the Chop House is done with intention and with care and it's just amazing. Their house salad with the dried cherries and the creamy goat cheese. The appetizer of lobster and crab cake was one of the best crabcakes I've had outside of Baltimore. The entrées were amazing and the desserts - oh my goodness!!! I'm actually still dreaming about the Tres Leches carrot cake!! I could eat that carrot cake three or four times a week. It was so much like pudding on the inside and you had to break through the wonderful caramelized outside. My only suggestion would be maybe lightening the cream cheese frosting for it (maybe throw some mascarpone in) because it's such an amazing, warm puddingy, delightful dessert. The same goes for the Crème Brûlée- torch it just a bit more to get that 'crack' to break through to the creamy custard underneath. The only things that seemed not to the high standards of the rest of the meal. The staff and service is so polished, ALL plates are set down in front of each guest AT THE SAME TIME. ABSOLUTELY- if you're looking for an amazing meal, whether or not it's for a special occasion, this is the place to spend your paycheck!!!!!! read more

We went to Michigan this past weekend for a little getaway, but unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate. Thankfully, we decided to spend our evening at The Chop House, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we arrived, the experience was exceptional. The service was warm, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful throughout the evening. A special thank you to Andrew, who took such wonderful care of us and made the entire dining experience feel seamless and welcoming. The food was outstanding -- from the steaks to the lobster, every dish was beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious. One detail that especially stood out was the team's willingness to accommodate our request for Oyster Rockefeller, even though it was not on the menu. As someone who does not eat meat but occasionally enjoys seafood, that level of hospitality truly meant a lot. It's rare to find a restaurant that combines exceptional cuisine with such gracious service. Thank you to Andrew and the entire team for such a memorable evening. We look forward to returning the next time we are in Michigan read more

Food, service and ambience were all exceptional, the only bad thing is there is no dedicated parking lot for this place and it cost us $17 to park in a parking garage before spending hundreds more to eat here. We usually won't go and eat in a downtown area in our state, but we were visiting relatives in Michigan and wanted to go somewhere really nice but unfortunately it came with a price. For a once in a while deal we would go back just because the food was so great as was the restaurant and the service. We just have to chalk it up to having to. Pay to park. read more

For visit 2/5/2026. A colleague and I walked over from our hotel. We had reservations and we were immediately seated. Service was excellent! Our server checked in regularly and was very nice and helpful. I tried the chef's special, filet mignon and lobster tail. It was cooked to perfection. I wish I had remembered to grab a pic! I enjoyed some raw oysters to start and finished with the vanilla crème brûlée. Great service, great food, and a great atmosphere! read more

We came here for the first time on a Wednesday night before going to a show at the Devos Center. The location is convenient downtown, although you will probably need to park in a garage nearby. The interior is an "old house" feel to me, but in a good way - dark wood, wine bottles on the wall, open ceilings, 2 stories, but not too "outdated" either. I was told they are known for their martinis and old fashioned's - I got an espresso martini. We shared the 36oz porterhouse steak and the "Fresh de Mer" seafood entree with the brussels sprouts as a side. The seafood dish was a little smaller in portion than expected, but it was OK since we ordered the larger steak. The steak was cooked perfectly medium, which was recommended over medium rare since it's a large on-the-bone steak. Honestly, the brussels sprouts were too "mustardy" for me with the sauce, but cooked perfectly and the bacon bits were so good and the largest bacon bits I've seen. It also comes with free, house-made brazilian cheese bread which is my favorite and was SO good. I could've eaten 3 more if I wanted to. The service was wonderful and attentive, and made for a great date night. I definitely see us coming back here! read more

We celebrated my wife's Birthday at the Chop House in downtown GR. Really excellent food, waitstaff, and a classic warm atmosphere. Three of us had various cuts of steak - all thee reported that they steaks were tender, moist, and flavorful. The four person had twin South African Lobster tails and unfortunately reported that they were dry, tough, and not flavorful. Lobster is purchased from seafood markets and occasionally older, tougher ones slip through. No harm. The restaurant took the meal off the bill. Would we go there again? Absolutely! read more

Our original dinner plans fell through, and we ended up at Chop House Grand Rapids -- what a blessing in disguise! Francisco, our server/bartender, was fantastic--friendly, knowledgeable, and made our night so much fun. The wine director was a joy to chat with about our shared history in the SF Bay area. The food was excellent, but it was the service and hospitality that really set this place apart. What started as a backup plan quickly became one of the best dining experiences we have had. read more

First things first. We had made our reservation 3 weeks in advance and received a confirmation and reminders. Upon arrival we checked in and the hostess didn't say a word to us, just told the other girl where to seat us. Right next to the waitress/waiter stand. Our waiter was nice and informative. We both ordered the beef Wellington. Sadly it was just a filet in a puff pastry. No mushroom duxelle or goose liver pate, which makes a beef Wellington. I never order steak unless it's something special like a beef Wellington. Which this was not read more

This restaurant was fabulous! The filet mignon was perfect, the sides of scalloped potatoes, asparagus and brussels sprouts were delicious. For my birthday, I had the espresso melt cake. It was all great. Thanks for the memorable bday dinner at the Chop House Grand Rapids! read more

We were able to get a reservation the same day on a weekend, which was surprising. It was decently busy inside so I would still recommend making one. Service was good but felt a little bit pushy. We started with oysters, which tasted great but I do feel that serving them in a dish with 80% melted ice is a bit below this kind of restaurant. For an entree, I tried the beef Wellington, cooked medium rare. It was cooked perfectly and the taste was great. I did get slightly turned off by the duck liver pate. I definitely prefer a Wellington with a veggie like mushrooms. The side of macaroni and cheese was great. It was served in a cast iron pan. It was perfectly creamy and cheesy but the crispy bread crumb provided it with the perfect combination. For dessert, I shared an affogato and tres leches carrot cake with my husband. The affogato was absolutely delicious- espresso was smooth, ice cream a good vanilla flavor and some crunchy toppings. The tres leches cake was so good my husband asked for it as a birthday cake - so I guess that is a high rating! Overall I felt like the food was fine, but I don't plan on returning. It just did not live up to a classic steak house. read more

The service was really great and the steaks were amazing. Our server was really sweet and brought out a candle in a raspberry with "happy birthday" written in chocolate for my brother in-laws birthday. For the prices, I would say this is for special occasions only. We had leftovers and when we got home to unbox it, the sauces that came with the steaks didn't seem to make it into the to-go boxes. No big deal but for the prices we paid, I would think that's a minor detail that is important when looking at the full scope of the experience. read more

I love a good steak, so I was really excited to get over to The Chop House. I made reservations for my girlfriend and I on new year's eve. The service was incredible, and while I do love the ambiance, we were seated right next to the food service door which was a bit annoying. The server asked if I minded a butterflied filet as the cut was a bit thicker and I agreed, which was my mistake, but I don't think that should have been offered given the result. The steak was overdone (I like my filet medium) and a bit dry. The sides I ordered included a baked potato and brussels. They were decent, but the price was insane for such basic sides. I'm all for dishing out extra cash for a good meal- but the food was sub par. I'd recommend Leo's or Mangiamos instead for the money. read more

This is one of the nicer restaurants in Grand Rapids. I have been to my fair share of nice steak houses. I would not say this is the best one but I would put it in the top 3. I would highly recommend reservations. We had a 6:15pm time and were seated promptly to a nice booth. It felt very comfortable and cozy. The restaurant is dimly lit to create a nice ambience. The menus are digital tablets and easy to use. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable. Now ... the food. We skipped an appetizer because I knew I had to try a dessert. (They make the desserts "in-house".) I started with the Chopped BLT Salad. It was a very basic salad with a nice blue cheese dressing. My husband and I both ordered the NY strip, but his was dry-aged and mine was not. Big difference in our steaks. His steak was near perfection. Mine ... unfortunately was a little tough and chewy. I ate about half of it. The whole time I was thinking that I should have ordered a fish dish instead. It was the sides and desserts that impressed me the most. The mushrooms were so buttery and delicious. My favorite part was the carrot cake at the end. So, if I came back, I would 100% get a dry aged steak and probably try one of the soups. This is a nice restaurant and you can tell that they try to pull out all the stops. I like how they simultaneously place all the plates on the table at the same time. And people are always coming to check on you. But I was a little disappointed with my steak. read more

Our first time at The Chop House. New Years Eve 2025- We had an exceptional meal with exceptional service by our server, Phoebe. It's definitely not in-expensive, but one of those memorable meals that you can say you've eaten. We had an early reservation starting at 4:30, and although we were told we'd have to be out by 7:00, when I made the reservation, we weren't rushed at all. Best steaks we've ever had. I had the 8 oz. filet and my husband had the New York Strip, half salads, and we shared the lobster Gnocchi. My martini was vodka, double dirty-shaken and poured at the table. My husband drank cranberry juice-he was the DD. We did bring our left overs home for another dinner on New Years Day-it was delicious! read more

Upscale steakhouse in downtown Grand Rapids. Very elegant vibe with staff doing a nice job with service. House Old Fashioned was just ok Food was excellent. Chop salad, Filet cooked perfect. Sides were big enough for 4 ppl and there were only 2 of us so we were too full for dessert but they looked amazing as they went by the table. No prices on the menu however which was very annoying. They did excellent with GF and the bread is GF and amazing read more

I have been here twice and it's been less than par. If I'm going to pay $$$$ for a dinner I expect the best. I got a lobster bisque that was more bisque than lobster, then a Cesarsald that was bland, my entire was a 15 oz fillet that I ordered medium rare. It was more rare than anything. Seasoning was on point! Then my side was a loaded backed potato that looked like my grandson cooked. I've given this a chance twice I. My adenovirus here. Never again! If I pay that much for food I want it on point! My service was 5 star and so was the manager. That not the point though. I want my food to be 5 star for 5 star prices. read more

Overall a good experience. Steak was tender and cooked properly as ordered. They did have a rather heavy hand on the salt. A bit much for my taste but not enough to send it back. Au Gratin Potatoes were okay but I have had way better at another popular GR Gin joint. Lobster bisque was really good but with just a little lobster to go with it. Service was prompt and professional. I think it is worth a visit again to try another steak. read more

I brought my wife here for her 33rd birthday as a surprise. We were completely in love from start to finish. Our waiter Nick was excellent. We started with the sea scallops which were cooked to perfection in a delicious sauce. Every dish we ordered was 100% perfection. The ambience here is dark with dim lighting - just how we like it. The cherry on top: rose pedals and a candle for my wife's birthday. Ps - can we talk about the cheesy bread?!? read more

The Chop House is an experience. We walked in and were immediately seated in a while linen table booth. To start the Chop House gave us a complimentary cheese bread. I wish they gave more of them because it was delightful. For my appetizer, I had the lobster bisque. It was very thick and luxurious with the concentrated lobster flavor. I had a ginger soda and it was refreshing. We ordered a bunch of sides: The Creamed Corn - I love their version and would order it again. The next two sides I would not order again. We did not like the calamari because it was a bit too sweet and the Brussels sprouts were not cooked in high heat like I like. The sprouts were more sauteed, which I do not care for. The Lobster Tail - Beautiful presentation and very juicy. The Cowboy Steak - Bone-in ribeye perfectly medium rare. I real treat to have a proper medium rare. Delicious. For dessert, we went for the creme brulee. I was full by this time, but it was really good as well. If you're in Grand Rapids, the Chop House is a great place to have a decadent meal. It's great that they're fully open now too! read more

Went out tonight for my mom's birthday dinner since she's a big steak lover... and this places couldn't have been more perfect. Sure the prices are a bit costly but you don't come to a restaurant like this for just any meal and the lovely waiters and waitress's give such remarkable and cared for attention, you can tell they realize that for your meal as well. Overall my idea of fine, high quality old school food, would be coming from an establishment just like this one. And I truly hope everyone gets to experience a meal here at least once. read more

We enjoyed our last minute early dinner here at about 5:30pm. Our waiter was lovely and very talkative. The bigger down side was actually the hostess. We were half way through our meal when she came over and gave us a 10 minute warning that they had a large dinner reservation for the table we were at. We weren't finished eating still planning on having dessert so we were surprised to be rushed. The waiter came over and apologized. It was disappointing to be rushed when we had already spend 350$ and had plans for dessert and drinks after our meal. read more
