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

ChopHouse Grille - Napa valley turkey burger - Steakhouses Near Me - Exton, Pennsylvania

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

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

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.

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

First time diners at CH. Nice ambiance, not crowded on a friday night, no wait for a table. Server was great & food was delicious. Scallops melted in your mouth and the beet risotto was a nice twist! Husband enjoyed the prime rib with the horseradish dressing! read more

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 tried Chop House in Exton 2x. My first experience...I order scallops, (probably not the best choice at a Steak House) there were 4 scallops on the plate and they were VERY salty...I could not eat them. I had the other 3 friends at the table try a piece to make sure it wasn't just me. We split one scallop into 4 pieces and EVERYONE agreed, that they were way too salty. I told our server and the response was....The Chefs don't season them, they come frozen that way. So, she returned my dish to the kitchen and they sent out another plate of scallops. This time I got 3 scallops on my plate and 1 scallop that looked as if it was chewed up and put back together. I called the manager over and she was in shock that that was how my meak came back. I did not eat them and the manager did take them off our bill. So, I thought I would give it another try last night. My second experience wasn't much better. We ordered drinks - when we got our drinks they did not come as described on the menu and 15 minutes after we got our drinks, we recieved the garnish? That was very stange, but....the drink was good. We ordered appetizers. The brussel sprouts were great. The tuna was very fishy and the calamari was WAY over cooked. Very crunchy and tasted like burnt bread crumbs - NO meat/fish! My husband got the halibut entree and it had NO FLAVOR AT ALL - VERY BLAND! NO SALT, PEPPER OR SPICE IN THE ENTIRE DISH My friend ordered the Filet Mignon, Oscar style and it also was VERY BLAND and way under par for an "up scale" Steak House. I got the shaved Prime Rib sandwich (French Dip) it tasted ok but had way too many fat pieces! Not only were our food and drinks over priced and flavorless, we also noticed NOT ONE staff member had a smile on there face. VERY DISAPPOINTING - NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE WILL NOT BE GIVING IT A 3RD TRY! 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

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

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

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

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

My wife and I really enjoy coming here. Decent selection of beers on tap and nice refreshing cocktails. My go to dish is always the French dip and have to admit, its in my top five of the best French dip's I've ever had. Their flatbreads are just as awesome! My favorite is the BBQ chicken but unfortunately it's only offered during the summer months. A good alternative is the steak flatbread which is offered all year long. The only negative I can say is the bar top could be cleaner. While it's not to the point where your hands and arms are sticking to it, but you can definitely tell it's not washed after each customer leaves as you can see the ring marks, etc left by the previous customers. read more

Stopped here for dinner one night. The patio seating was beautiful, as is the the indoor decor. Great drink selection and GREAT food! Definitely planning to return! read more

First visit. Came here on a Friday night with my wife and one of our sons. They sat us right away at a high top by the bar. Our waitress Corin was attentive and friendly. We had the cheese trio with honey and candied bacon - its a yummy starter with some great flavors. Son got a burger and he said it was delicious. Wife got a salad and steak and loved it. I got the scallops and they were awesome. Son got a dessert and was content. Will definitely come back given the solid first experience. read more

We made a reservation for dinner for 8:15. We arrived at 8:10 and were seated right away. I thought "Wow! What great service!" We sat at our seat for 15 minutes before the waitress came over, she busy wiping down tables. The hostess stand had 3 people standing there talking and looking around, it was not busy for a Friday night. When the waitress finally came over, she looked and acted like she didn't want to be there. We ordered drinks and we received them right away. They were out of the prime rib so I ordered the filet. The meal came out very quickly. The steaks were delicious and that's why I am giving 3 stars. We had 2 drinks, 2 steak dinners and a side of mashed potatoes. $120.00 without tip and we left there hungry! read more

I met a friend here for some drinks and dinner and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Nice big open space. Huge bar area. Nice outdoor bar too. The staff couldn't have been nicer and I enjoyed the food. The buffalo shrimp were great. The oysters were good as you'd expect. The Brussel sprouts have a really cool and unique twist to them (I won't spoil it) and my burger was really good. I'd definitely recommend CH as a finer dining spot for the area. I think it's a great addition to Exton and a place for someone like me who doesn't want to be in a restaurant full of screaming kids. read more
