Huge thick ribeye
Beth H.

It's easy enough to make a reservation on their website however they weren't busy for a Monday night. We arrived a bit early and were seated promptly. There were a couple business meetings and a date. I brought my niece in because we wanted a good meal with a good steak while in town for a couple days. The service was great. I ordered a dirty goose and the spinach artichoke appetizer straight away. The drink was good and I was glad he knew what I was talking about without asking. The spinach dip was good and rich. Plenty to share, though I didn't care for the overcooked kettle chips served with it. The dip is salty enough, it doesn't need fried chips. I ordered the ribeye with loaded potato. Niece a butterflied filet. The potato was perfect. The ribeye was undercooked and tasteless. It's better that it's undercooked than overcooked in my book. Leftovers would be easier to heat. Niece liked her filet and wedge salad. I had to use a lot of salt on the meat and ate around the outside to get my fill. Then I realized that the dip was so salty, it probably skewed my taste. Therefore I recommend that you do not get the spinach artichoke dip if you want to enjoy your steak. Total bill was $180 including tip. Nicest spot in town. Cute downtown and easy street parking right out front.

Traveling from The Villages to Chicago, we stopped in Lebanon and found 1830 Chophouse--great choice! Located in a charming historic downtown about a mile off the interstate. I had the Cornish game hen with mashed potatoes, and my husband had the pork chop--both were delicious and beautifully presented. Service was excellent--attentive and friendly without being overbearing. We also enjoyed a great local beer from Lafayette. Definitely worth a stop if you're passing through!

Burger with bacon, cheddar cheese, and onion, strings, and side of balsamic brussels sprouts
Hope P.

Arrived at an odd time, so there was only one other table seated in the restaurant...about 315 on a Wednesday. Lunch menu runs until 4 so my husband was able to get the lunch Caesar salad with blackened shrimp as well as a calamari appetizer. I had the burger with bacon, cheddar cheese, and onion strings, all of the food was very good! I also ordered a wedge salad, which the waiter forgot to ring in because he did not write down our order, but rather took it from memory. I do wish instead that servers would just write things down. But we will probably return because it was a very nice atmosphere and the presentation of the food was very pretty.

Elderflower citrus martini

This continues to be a favorite for food and atmosphere. Bourbon maple mashed sweet potatoes, steak skewers grilled to perfection and ooey gooey bread pudding for dessert. Lighting slightly dim, staff extremely attentive and great for a special date or business meeting. Complex flavors, very indulgent. Brings me back time and time again.

Cherry margarita
Roxanne B.

Service was awesome!!! Since our last visit the butter was softer this time but still recommend a garlic butter in my opinion. Last time my steak lacked flavor so opted for the burger with cheese and bacon with a side of Parmesan fries with ranch. The burger was juicy but definitely was smaller than I imagined and the fries well u get 10 to be exact:( very disappointing in the size of both. On to the prime rib, 18oz, not sure how it was cut but it appeared to cut multiple times in several spots but it definitely a big slice!!! A little fatty than most we've had but at least they have raw horseradish but it had no kick at all. The loaded baked potato was tasty even had cheese and bacon cooked on the outside which was a nice treat. Loved the cocktails!!! Cherry margarita highly recommended.

I'm being serious here, this place is the fanciest restaurant in Lebanon. They even have cloth napkins! I'm from here, and can't think of another place in town that has them. I think it is also the only place in town that I've ever made reservations at, and would recommend anyone else going to do the same. This was our second visit, and we were delighted to find that they had a Devour Indy menu. I meant to take a picture of the menu to post here, but forgot! We both ate for $55. If not for the Devour Menu, the restaurant is probably also one of the most expensive restaurants in town BUT you pay for fancy. That's a given, right? Anyway, the bread was complementary (I think); the sesame seed rolls were great. We both had the Caesar salad which I commented that it was one of the best ones I have had (top 5). My friend had the crab stuffed flounder and brussels as the entree. I had the flank steak topped with chimichurri which had just a little bit of kick, perfect for me! The meat was cooked perfectly. I always judge a meal on whether I would reorder it. In this case, yes! I also sampled my friend's food and would order that as well. The server was friendly and efficient and provided the right amount of attention. We would recommend and return to the Chophouse.

House salad
Paul K.

Attention Blue cheese lover's....They feature Maytag Farms blue cheese in their house made dressing! Would give 5 stars just for that alone. Had prime rib and seafood ravioli. Knocked off half a point for the cheese filled ravioli, would have been better with seafood filled ones. Great sauce with A hint of lemon. Nice amount of seafood in dish. Great service.

Seasonal vegetables

Enjoyed dinner on Saturday night. We had a 5pm reservation and it wasn't packed but became packed quickly. They have a nice trendy decor inside, was able to have a conversation without yelling. I needed help with elevating my leg and they accommodated me with an extra chair. Our waitress Emily was very helpful, she gave good recommendations and made sure we were well taken care of. I ordered the short ribs and hubs got the Prime Rib. The short ribs were tasty but I didn't care for the Polenta it was on. I should've asked for mashed potatoes as I'm not a Polenta fan. Hubs liked the prime rib but thought it and the aujus were lacking flavor. He did like the horseradish that came with it. We also enjoyed the Stuffed Mushrooms and Wild Boar meatballs. We would definitely like to come back again to try other dish options.

Steak skewers and bourbon mashed potatoes.
Patricia M.

I wish they allowed half stars so I could award 3.5. It was clear that they were very short staffed. We waited 5-10 minutes at the hostess stand as the hostess was also bartendering and waiting tables. We were finally seated in the bar area which was fine but after waiting 20 minutes for a table and seeing all the empty tables, it was clear they were a bit behind. We ordered drinks and then dinner. My husband loved his walking on bourbon street drink. After about 15 minutes the waitress came out with bread and butter apologizing that she had forgot to bring it over earlier. They were quite good and warm. After we finished the bread the waitress came over saying our order had been lost somehow although she had placed it on her iPad. We reordered and then things looked up. My steak skewers were quite good as was the bourbon sweet potato mash although I personally would have appreciated a little texture in it( it was more baby food texture). My husband said the pork chop was fine but really lacked seasoning. The waitress did offer us free dessert to make up for the wait etc but we passed on that.

Beef skewers and potato wedges
Hannah F.

Oh my gosh... the smell alone from the outside was enough to bring me in. It smelled SO good! I walked in and sat on the bar side. Our server was attentive and friendly. I ordered a cranberry spritzer, a side salad with ranch, and the goat cheese appetizer. My friend had the beef skewers and I will for sure be getting that next time. The beef was so tender and flavorful. I enjoyed the ambiance and recommend heading next door to Klooz Brewz for a beer or nightcap after. If you're doing on Friday or Saturday night, make sure to make a reservation.

First tried their pork loin at Zoobilation this year, had to come back for more! Pork Loin Chop Double 8.8/10 - (Two Hand-cut pork loin chops grilled with our balsamic molasses marinade and topped with fresh mango chutney) * SO TENDER. Beautiful mango chutney as well. Would totally get this again Banana Bourbon Mashed Sweet Potatoes 9.2/10 - (Sweet potatoes cooked with bourbon, brown sugar and mashed banana) * AMAZING! For sure gonna try to make these this fall Chicken Portabella Fettuccine 8/10 - (Chicken and portabella mushrooms sauteed with bacon and garlic in a roasted red pepper cream sauce) Spinach Artichoke Dip 7.5/10 - (Baked spinach and artichoke hearts blended with provolone, Swiss, and Boursin cheese served with a choice of sliced French baguette or Parmesan kettle chips) * Had chunks of artichokes, keeping it exciting Wedge Salad 8/10 - (A classic salad with baby iceberg lettuce, fresh sliced red onion, and bacon crumbles. Chef's suggested dressing: our own blue cheese) Steak Skewers 7.8/10 - (A tender mix of Angus Ribeye, NY strip, and filet skewered with red peppers and marinated in our house marinade, then lightly grilled. Topped with a drizzle of horseradish cream and caramelized onions) * Very tender, delicious sauce. Thought portion was lacking Oreo Cheesecake 8.2/10 LOVE! Had a great waitress, very informative

Crab cakes
Dave M.

We met my daughter here for her birthday on a Saturday at 1 o'clock. Place was completely empty when we walked in, so I was concerned a little bit, even though it had good reviews. When my daughter arrived, I told her I rented out the whole restaurant just for her birthday, and our waiter went along with it. the service was fantastic, the food was amazing and we had a wonderful time. Spinach artichoke dip was really good, we had it with crustini's and their homemade Parmesan potato chips. The chips are incredible. My other daughter had them with her California club as well. My wife had a salad and the crabcakes. She said they were very good. I had the fillet with garlic mashed, it was seasoned and seared perfectly. Great place, I would definitely go back.

I was so looking forward to dining here, alas what a disappointment. The restaurant itself is beautiful and with ample street parking. A great location. Since the devour menu was $40, I expected something worthwhile, but I was mistaken here. I ordered a cocktail that promised a lavender float. Cool... I want that. After the waitress dropped the drink off, I looked at it and thought this didn't look right. Looked like the murky waters of an algae infested lake. I doublechecked the description to make sure I wasn't imagining things and even asked my guests if they saw any kind of lavender float on this cocktail. Nope... when the waitress stopped by to take our food order, I asked her, what kind of cocktail this was and where was the lavender float. I was told point blank, oh we are out of the lavender so the bartender put something blue in it. And with that she was gone. I was so taken by surprise that I didn't even know what to say. I should have just sent it back and stick to water. Here is my problem with this. If the main ingredient of a drink is unavailable, I would like to be asked if a substitution is acceptable and not just served whatever is handy... because what I got was neither visually nor tastewise appealing. The rolls were good, as was the butter that came with it. I had chosen the coconut shrimp for starters. There was a very tiny hint of coconut but it was overpowered by the chilisauce that was liberally spread across the dish. The chili sauce was tasty, so I was ok with it. I had the Korean beef skewers with silver noodles. Would have been nice to be asked how I would like my meat. This was served rare and I am sorry, I cannot eat this. Not only that, but there was quite a bit of sinews or grizzle in the meat. I was going to send it back, but I know better than that. Plus I was already over this whole affair. I took it home thinking maybe I can fry this up, but due to the poor quality of the meat just ended up throwing it away. I had chosen the bread pudding for dessert and while I realize that portions during the devour are usually less, but this was borderline ridiculous. Three tiny squares (less than an inch each, looks much bigger int he picture), but the plate was big. My guest however had ordered the New York cheesecake. She was given an Oreo cheesecake and the server again disappeared so fast she didn't get a chance to say anything. When we finally flagged our waitress down, she unapologetically said, well we're out of the New York cheesecake, so this will have to do. Excuse me? Again, do not make substitutions on the guest's behalf. How about checking with your customer first. My guest had more presence of mind than I did and refused to eat the Oreo cheesecake as she does not like Oreos. They tried to talk her into breadpudding, finally they started to offer her some of the other dessert they had on the menu as they should have. For $67 (just for my Devour dinner, a murky undetermined drink and an undeserved tip) I can have better food and much better service.

A bunch of over cooked mushrooms and some cheese spooge and very little steak. What steak that was on the sandwich was over cooked ( actually burned). The hostess decided it was time to mop the floors even though there were still customers. Just an awful experience. Wish I could have the time back.

The service is consistently great, and the food never disappoints. I started with the fried green tomatoes, which are some of the best you'll find in the Indianapolis area--crispy, flavorful, and perfectly done. The biscuits and gravy are a must-order. The biscuits taste freshly made, and you can really tell the restaurant prioritizes high-quality, farm-to-table ingredients. It's easily my go-to recommendation every time I visit. The ambiance is another highlight--intimate, cute, and welcoming. Even when it's busy, it never feels too loud or overwhelming.

Nachos with steak - see pic - smallest nachos I've ever had at a place like this for the same price - steak was fatty, cheese wasn't even melted and while the chips were good the notion that this was a restaurant quality/portion and name sake was laughable. Same queso as was served with the pretzels. - French dip - odd taste, maybe since it was prime rib meat? Beet salad - beautifully presented and was delicious - only highlight of the meal especially with the tasty raisin bread. Fountain drinks are Pepsi brands - those were good.
