    This is currently my very favorite East Texas restaurant. It is charming inside and out. And the food and drinks are YUM!

    Amazing!!!! I've lived here 5 years now and this is my first time eating here!! It was beyond delicious everything was delicious from the salads the ranch the deserts and omg the filet was large as a softball!! Cooked perfectly Stephanie came to the table introduced herself and showed us some history of the building .. little did she know that my husband loves good history he read the whole pamphlet she left for us to read and we had to check out the elevator!!!! We were pleasantly impressed and surprised by everything we will be returning

    Great food! Great service. The atmosphere was awesome. Can't wait to go back. Owner came and visited our table to check on us. Love that.

    One of my favorite things to do when it comes to small town Texas is visiting different steak houses! Mount Vernon is such a great looking community and such a special place to live. The pride of ownership in this community is impressive. My daughter who is working in the area knew I would LOVE this place. Does she ever know her mother well! The building itself is really spectacular! It has history and character! It is truly unique in a very good way! The ambience could not be more perfect! The floors, wall, decor, ceiling........ WELL DONE!!!!! The steaks are THICK and JUICY and made to perfection. I asked for medium rare and that is exactly how I got it. The side of carrots was delicious as well as the loaded potato. The bread basket is a must. The customer service is top notch. Everyone there did everything and with a smile. Great staff!!!! The staff is all over the place and not worried about what is or isn't their job. They do whatever needs to be done. The owner was on site and visited each and every table. What a doll! She is a delight to visit with! Great job Stephanie!!!!!! I cannot wait to return!

    Friendly service, great drinks, and amazing food. I had the shrimp linguine and my husband had the steak. We both finished our plates and were very satisfied. There was live music and a great place for date night or holiday party. Can't wait to try the outdoor area when it's nice out.

    Chicken-fried steak...a little on the small side and  the breading is not golden brown.

    We were in Mount Vernon for an event. We looked for a local place to support before returning to Dallas County. We decided to try The Chophouse. Reviews online were good. I wish I had looked closer and read more. We would have made another choice. The service was 5-Star. The atmosphere was excellent. My wife and I both love history. You could not ask for a better location for local history. The hostess was beyond polite and pointed out several historical pictures and items when we were looking at pictures on the wall and even told us about the historical elevator in the bar area. Our waiter was top-notch. I love a good chicken-fried steak. That was what I ordered. My wife ordered the Chophouse Chopped Steak. The CFS steak was described as homemade, hand-battered, and golden fried. I do not doubt the hand-battered, but the meat and breading left a lot to be desired. If I didn't know better, I would say the meat was nothing more than a chopped steak or hamburger steak. It was not golden fried. The breading was as dark as the meat. The gravy was runny and mostly pepper. I should have said something while there but it was close to closing time and we had a two-hour drive ahead of us. After looking at the pictures of food online, I would say chicken-fried steak is not a fine-dining menu item. Most items look like they are prepared for cruise ship meals than a roadhouse or steak place. I don't fault the restaurant or its owners. After all, they are Aggies. Some of the best people I know went to Texas A&M. Next time we are in Mount Vernon, I will look for something else. I usually do not complain online, but I felt the owners would want to know. I hope we were just there on a bad night for the kitchen. My 3-Star rating is for the staff.
