Service and ambiance were great! Food was good! But as someone from the south, the southern style food were lacking in a lot of flavor. They were good but not "southern/cajun". I heard the other desserts were phenomenal and the steaks were great! - carrot soufflé: highly recommend as a side! Very creamy and tasty and sweet - Gumbo: Louisiana-inspired gumbo with chicken, sausage, & vegetables. It was fine, just had no seasonings which was very confusing for me - Boudin Balls: Our Louisiana-seasoned mixture of pork, Cajun spices, & rice. Served with mustard remoulade sauce. Same as above. Just didn't have the seasonings. A little Tony's would've gone a LONG way - Toasted S'mores Cheesecake: Graham cracker base, smooth chocolate cheesecake, and fluffy marshmallow whipped cream, finished with toasted marshmallow and graham cracker crumbs. Very tasty! Highly recommend this as well read more

This was our first time to Rib & Chop. We have driven past it and it looked appetizing. I did not realize it was a chain. The place is clean and updated. Good music. Our booth was right under the speakers so it was a bit loud. I made reservations for our anniversary and specifically called out that it was. Upon arriving the hostess asked how many and she went to seat us. I had to tell her that we had reservations. We were seated right next to the kitchen doors. The server came up pretty quick and wrote his name down on the paper. No comment about our anniversary. He seemed very new to the job. The New Year's Eve menu had blackened gator and I had to try it. When it showed up I was not impressed with presentation of the 5 pieces on the plate. The flavor however was great. Good texture and not chewy. Good win. I ordered the lobster and fillet and my wife got a chicken cobb salad. The waiter had to come back to ask how I wanted my steak. When it was brought out I was very underwhelmed. The lobster tail was in pieces. The fillet was horribly cut and looked like a kid butchered it. The lobster pieces were tough and overall not good. The fillet had good flavor but overcooked. My wife enjoyed her salad. The saving grace was the GM Aaron. He stopped by to ask how everything was an I gave him an honest review. He was very open and with us and I really appreciate his feedback. We will definitely come back to try the regular menu and looking forward to Salmon Wellington around Valentine's Day. read more

We ordered 2 specialty drinks, one app and one main dish. One of the drinks was too sweet, almost tested like sweet pickle instead of a cucumber cocktail. The fried green tomatoes were cooked perfectly, then they added about a cup of miracle whip (supposed to be a blue cheese balsamic topping) on them making the dish incredibly undesirable. We also couldn't figure out if the blue cheese was missing or part of the " sauce." The rack of ribs were over cooked and one end was so dry it was like chewing on jerky. The ribs them selves had no distinct flavor, only the flavor of the sauce. Basically it tasted like the food they would serve you at hospice. Do not recommend . read more

I was a bit reluctant to go to the Idaho Rib and Chophouse as some other places had higher ratings, but I am really glad I listened to my wife. This place is fantastic! It is right off the river with a very cozy ambiance - this would be a great place for a date (or anyone who likes great food and drinks). The service was top notch with staff that would help anyone who looked like they needed something - not just your server. I had the Baseball Cut Top Sirloin (10oz) with a Caesar salad and garlic mushrooms. I had never heard of this cut before but I am on it if I see it again. This thing came out like a black crusted football. It was cooked perfectly (I asked for medium rare). This was a fabulous steak! Unfortunately I took no pictures because I was hungry and this thing rocked my world. I will be back as soon as possible. read more

Heavily oriented toward red meat - as the name suggests. Good atmosphere for friends; not a romantic place. Has a couple of indoor rooms and also outdoor seating. We got drinks, appetizers, and steaks. The steaks were quite good. Drinks were well-mixed. Service was friendly, only downside was the place wasn't close to full and it was a long time between getting drinks to appetizers to main course. read more

Honestly, the food at Idaho Rib and Chophouse was a total letdown. I grabbed the ribs, but they were super overcooked--dry, tough, and basically the opposite of tender. It felt like they ran out during service and tried to "blast cook" a new batch at the last minute to keep up. When you're dropping $19.95 (special) on a rack, you expect them to be slow-cooked properly, not rushed and ruined. On a more interesting note, I tried the Pastalaya. It had those solid Cajun flavors you'd expect, like the smoked creole sausage, but they did a cool twist with a heavy cream sauce ("Crème Fleurette") and what looked like angel hair pasta. It was a unique dish, but it definitely didn't make up for the ribs being such a miss. Probably won't be back. read more

I did not have any food however everything I saw looked and smelled fantastic. I stopped in for some cocktails and was welcomed comfortably by Barr the server at the bar! He was working his tail off but had enough time to take care of me as well. This place is a pretty nice mid scale Steakhouse. I dig the vibe and the decor. read more

Had a reservation. Got seated right away. Wasn't that busy. Waited 45 minutes for a waiter. We had to stop someone passing our table and asked for a waiter. It was really expensive and the food was crap. Not worth waiting over an hour for the food. I would never go back. read more

Wow, my steak was absolutely delicious. Right when we entered, the staff was welcoming, and our server was fantastic. The atmosphere makes it feel like a nice high-end experience. I got the baseball cut top sirloin and I loved the seasoning on the outside of the steak. It tasted really good. I got a baked potato for a side, which was really good, but I think next time I'll try the au gratin potatoes or something else. The salad seemed average, but that's OK. They asked if we were celebrating anything special, which I said we were and then they never did anything so I'm not sure why they asked. I would absolutely love to come back here the next time I'm in town. read more

Worth the visit. The food here is solid and it's a clean place with good service. Prices are high, so we usually save for date night and avoid taking the family. read more

Before meeting family here, I was a bit worried this would be one of those fancier, stuffier restaurants with over-priced food. Boy was I WRONG. The food was incredible and very generously priced, it felt both high-end and charming, but the staff was incredible and so kind. My 18 month old started losing his patience toward the end of dinner, and I started to wonder if I'd have to take him out in the cold or back to the car. Instead, the super friendly host and wait staff brought him toys and made a big cardboard car. Any parent knows restaurants are not always the relaxing experience you hope for with kids - Rib and Chophouse IS. They were on top of our drinks and very well timed. And the fish, steak, and ribs were all pretty incredible. I know this review might seem fake or AI, but it's completely true and original. This is definitely my favorite place in town, and I couldn't not share it with others - we will return for sure! read more

It's always been very good. We have had excellent cuts of meat. Amazing chicken fried steak. Medallions that could be cut with a fork.

While walking the falls trail system and visiting the lanterns, I saw several interesting places for dinner, and this one called to me. I sat at a table with a view of the patio and the bar. Fresh bright upscale decor and furnishings. Staff was efficient and thankfully refilling my water a lot! I was thirsty after my walk. I enjoyed a dirty blue cheese stuffed olive martini, while perusing the menu. Nice selection of proteins, with a Louisiana spice influence. I ordered the stuffed mushrooms served with bread to soak up all the cheesy yummy ness. My entree was BBQ giant shrimp over Idaho mashed potatoes, slso wonderful. Desert was crème brûlée , barbecue shrimp over Idaho mashed potatoes, and cream brûlée. Good thing I took that long walk around the falls, otherwise I would have felt guilty. Not really. Thanks for making my first night in Idaho Falls absolutely deliscious! read more

Great food and service. Everything was cooked perfectly the gumbo was delicious. Service was friendly and fast.

Lunch was reasonably priced being form sf. My husband got the steak meal for lunch under $18. The baker was so big and good I liked the black foil. I got the salad and soup deal and it was &12. Everyone on a weekday at this restaurant in the summer was eating outside. Food was good they took card and had a full bar with local beers on tap. Server was attentive and I got to bring my dog to sit outside. We paid for parking and we could see our car from the restaurant. read more

The steak was cooked beautifully with a nice crust and juicy center. It had a great beefy flavor that didn't need much seasoning. The side of veggies was fresh and lightly seasoned which balanced the richness of the meat. Our server was kind and attentive. The space was quiet and felt cozy for a nice dinner. read more

We went there for Valentine's Day. They had a regular menu and a special valentines menu. My husband had steak and ribs which were very good. I had lobster and shrimp scampi with seafood bisque which was good. There are 2 seating areas. One had nice restaurant seating and the area was more casual with various sports games playing. They had regular cocktails and mock cocktails. We liked this as we don't drink. Our waitress was so good. She checked in us numerous times to see if we needed anything and she took away our empty plates at the right time so that we could enjoy a cream brûlée that we shared and it was so good. We would go there again. We are glad we went there to celebrate Valentine's Day. read more

Had expectations of a good dinner at a 'high end' steakhouse but were disappointed. Cocktails and wine were good. Food: Salmon dinner was good. Bison chili was cold. Filet, rib eye, and sirloin were not tender. All steaks were overdone. They did take them back to the kitchen and cooked new ones to medium rare. They also reduced the price. Service: Adequate. Server was doing her best to give us good service. Ambiance: Nice seating, good ambience except the music. read more

Went there Friday with two other couples for an early dinner 5:00pm. One couple who had ordered fish and chips before and loved it, but this time could hardly chew the fish because it was so overcooked. My wife's garlic mashed potatoes were cold and my 9 oz. filet was overcooked. I like MR and this was well into the well done area, sent it back and came back with an ice cold center, sent it back again and by the time it came back everyone else was finished and ready to leave. Also, each item, salad, potato, steak, etc came on it's own plate, what's up with that? read more

Great spot! Walked in no reservation and a table of 7 seated immediately on a Tuesday night. Friendly staff, some dressed for Halloween got two tables moved and set, waters a minute later. Cool interior. Looby was very festive. From our table I could spy a TV in the bar to track the World Series score. Server was ready to, giving menu suggestions for mostly out of towners. Paced the food well. A number of us got the wedge salad. Was pretty good. Would prefer big chunks of bacon, but was good. Lots of interest in the bison bacon burger, but I got a ribeye. Was perfect. No plate ended with a burger left on it. All were thoroughly enjoyed. I regret not saving room for the carrot cake. read more

First time coming here, Smokin Fins was closed so we decided to walk over. Order unlimited mimosas and our food. Waited for awhile for our order and our drinks Waited forever on a second drink. Our food came out before our second drink. Then we were told champagne was sold out and we couldn't order anymore mimosas. We sat there for almost 2 hours. I was hoping for a better experience. read more

We had such a great waiter who was able to give us great recommendations because it was our first time. The food was great, the boudin ball appetizer is a must! read more

The service we received was unmatched. Now, this may sound a little strange because after we were seated, we waited for about 20 minutes for someone to come over before I had to flag someone down and ask for our server. Apparently there was a mix up with assigning someone to our table who was getting sent home for the day. Once the hiccup was realized, we were quickly assigned someone new and about three people came to apologize for the misunderstanding. Including a very kind man, who I assume is the manager, because he offered a free dessert for our trouble. Customer service goes a long way these days and the staff at Idaho Rib and Chophouse definitely have that going for them. Our food was tasty. I ordered the shrimp & scallop alfredo and my boyfriend had the California burger. Both were equally tasty in their own way. I appreciate that the pasta had more than enough alfredo sauce and didn't leave me with dry linguine toward the end. I also had a cup of gumbo (not featured) and I really enjoyed it. The cheesecake was good too. I'm more of a fruity-type but my boyfriend really wanted the chocolate and caramel drizzle. We should've went with the strawberry, if you ask me. But, the cheesecake itself was still a nice end to our meal. It's a great place for date night or family night out. We'll be back! read more

We got their 1.5lb rack of ribs and it looked like a kids meal. For what you're paying, it's a rip off.

Great food. Wonderful atmosphere. Wonderful appetizers. I hope they remain in Idaho Falls for years to come. read more

We had dinner at the bar last Saturday. My wine glass was dirty and less than 5 ounces. My filet came rare, when I ordered medium rare. Still good as I like rare. My brother's filet was overcooked. He also asked for a side of horseradish, for which he had to trek to the kitchen to finally receive. The place has gone downhill and needs new ownership or management. They were not busy on a Saturday night and that is unsurprising after our experience. In the last 5 months, we've eaten here 6 times and had positive results 5/6. read more

Rib chophouse John made the best western sour with Woodford reserve bourbon, Disaronno, lemon juice, egg whites with light syrup. Shaken, not stirred. Justin was awesome as well. We were greeted by Norm, he gave us options where we could sit. We chose the bar so we could enjoy who is working there and to watch TV. The gumbo was perfect, my husband ordered salad with the loaded mashed potatoes and the ribeye was cooked perfect. I WOULD RECOMMEND read more

Idaho Rib and Chophouse hasn't made its mind up of what it is. The prices and menu emulate a higher end steakhouse, but the actual taste, ambiance and decor match Denny's. Wait staff act annoyed if you don't order alcohol and didn't know their menu very well. We had a gluten allergy and went in seeing that other locations had separate gluten free menus. Not only did they not have a gluten free menu or gluten free listed options, they also did not know what gluten was and when we asked if anything was gluten free on the menu they responded, "that's just bread right?" Then when we explained that it is wheat, rye and barley and can be in seasonings, they shrugged and walked away. That should have been our warning to get out but instead we followed recommendations on what they said were gluten free (meat + salads) and paid the price. It cost over $100 for two people and the service was well below. The ribs were cold,dry, and flavorless. The sides were also undercooked and cold. The only thing sizzling was the steak since they heat up their plates to 400 degrees to make the steaks seem more appealing. If you are wanting a good steak for around $100 for two people, I would suggest going to Texas road house, longhorn, or stockmans. Wouldn't recommend if you have an allergy or if you are wanting to eat food that matches the price. Best thing that we had was the gumbo. I would recommend that Idaho rib and chophouse go back to their Louisiana roots in cooking and start from scratch. read more

The food, the service, it's all marvelous. A bit pricey, but well worth it. I recommend Idaho Rib and Chophouse to everyone.
