We stumbled across The Chop House just as they were opening for dinner, and it turned out to be a great find. If you're planning to come during peak dinner hours, I'd definitely recommend making a reservation because it started filling up quickly. We had spent the day hiking, so we were dressed much more casually than many of the other diners. The restaurant has a more upscale feel, but no one made us feel out of place. The staff was welcoming, seated us immediately, and made us feel comfortable from the start. Our waitress was friendly and attentive, and the cocktails were well made. The food was the real highlight. The burgers were cooked perfectly, the beef tasted fresh and flavorful, and the garlic mashed potatoes were delicious. We also really enjoyed the soup of the day and the hummus of the day. The only thing that didn't completely wow us was the steak. It certainly wasn't bad but we just happen to be very particular when it comes to steak. Overall, this was an excellent meal with great service in a welcoming atmosphere. We'd happily return the next time we're in Luray. read more

We went to celebrate my wife's birthday. We sat at the bar and canceled our table reservation. The bartender was attending and efficient. For dinner my wife had scallops and I had steak. Both were outstanding. We had their homemade ice cream for dessert. The bartender put a candle in one of the scoops. Nice touch. We would return. read more

Hubs and I came here for my birthday dinner. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. Cocktails and food were excellent. The music playlist was absolutely on point. To top off the night, a superb espresso martini and chocolate cake for dessert, served alongside a complementary scoop of sweet corn ice cream for my birthday treat. Would highly recommend!! read more

The service was fantastic! We dined outside and unfortunately, for us there were a lot of flies and other insects outside because of the nice weather... With that being said, the bacon cheeseburger was outstanding, and the french fries were delicious. Delicious... The peach ketchup was out of this world! read more

We came here while visiting Luray for our anniversary. I had read really good reviews and we were very much looking forward to steaks to celebrate the occasion. The Chop House literally feels like a house and we really enjoyed the vibe. We were seated on the second floor and were welcomed with a little congratulatory note at our table. It turned out that everyone else on the second floor was celebrating an anniversary as well! The server was very sweet and really set the standard for kindness and making us feel welcomed. For dinner we had the filet mignon and the sirloin steak both with mashed potatoes. They were excellent and in my opinion better than Morton's. The bread they gave us prior to dinner also deserves a shout out. Really this was just the perfect experience for an anniversary dinner. I highly recommend The Chop House Bistro! read more

Service was ok, nothing bad, but very very small town restaurant. We each had the filet. One was overcooked. Mac n cheese was ehh. Mashed potatoes were very rich and creamy but good. The focaccia was very undercooked and doughy. Bar tender mixed up our drinks and had to remake them. Overall the food was ok, we were starving from hiking all day. read more

This is a local steakhouse that was recommended by pretty much everyone, so we had to give it a try. The service was good, and our server was very friendly. We ordered the ribeye, and it was cooked exactly the way we asked. Make sure to get the demi glace sauce because it goes really well with the steak. The pan roasted Brussels sprouts are a must order and were so good. The place is great for a date night or a family dinner. Street parking is available, but it really depends on the day and time. Overall, we had a really good experience and would definitely come back. Last, the price is affordable and perfect portion for average family. read more

Had a lovely dinner here! The scallops were delicious and perfectly cooked! The brussel sprouts were also really fantastic! Very lovely outdoor seating with incredibly friendly service. read more

Atmosphere is amazing. Comfortable seating with great service. Food was wonderful. Certainly got my moneys worth.

Came here for dinner after a day hiking Shenandoah- what a great spot! Very friendly service, simple ambiance, and delicious food. We especially liked the jerk wings. My scallops were perfectly cooked as were my daughters' ribeye and salmon. Duck fat fries to die for too! Each entree came with a side and a sauce to choose. If you're in Luray, and want a nice (more pricey) meal, this is where to go! read more

We had a really nice lunch at the Chop House Bistro. We had 6 people and 3 had burgers, 1 had tofu sandwich, one had wings and one rice/salmon bowl. Our waiter upstairs was fantastic. The kids looooved the peach ketchup so much and our server brought more choices out for the person who didn't want peach ketchup. The tofu sandwich was just so so. The burgers were really great. Overall a nice meal and we recommend. read more

Stopped in on a rainy afternoon to have a late lunch after exploring the caverns. Beth accommodated our request to sit out on the porch. She answered our many questions about the menu and made great recommendations based on our preferences. I had a delicious carrot soup followed by a wonderful chopped steak burger. The topper was the german chocolate cake with a thick and rich (butter cream?) icing! This converted house provided a cozy dining experience. It is worth the short ride from the caverns to have a meal here. read more

Everything about the Chop House is top tier from the location and ambiance to service and food. Nestled in a cozy little area of town, in what appears to be an old home, it is truly a hidden gem of the state of Virginia. We were seated right away in a room at the top of the stairs at a cozy table for two. The decor is quietly gorgeous, subdued color yet bright and welcoming. After a couple minutes with the menu our delightful server came for drink and appetizer orders. We selected two of the bourbon cocktails and the crab dip then continued to peruse the menu for our entree selections. It was hard to choose from the delicious options but I landed on the catfish and hubby the filet. The drinks were divine sips, crafted expertly and the crab dip was delicately balanced with the crab, seasoning and cheese. The chips were warm and crispy which added great texture to the dip. Hubby's steak was cooked to temp perfectly and he said the mac and cheese was the best he'd ever had! I'm not sure how to describe how good the catfish was, dare I say clean and fresh! The coating was seasoned well and the fish was delicious, paired with asparagus and mashed potatoes, I was in comfort food heaven! I so very highly recommend the Chop House and hope you find it as wonderful as we did! read more

Came here after a day of hiking. Charming restaurant located in what could be described as a former home. However the ribeye simply was just ok...tasted like choice quality. Sides were fine. Service was friendly. Prices were reasonable for the area. They do allow BYOB with corkage fee which is a huge plus. More like 3.5 stars. read more

We wandered into the bistro when we arrived in town on our way to a few nights in a cabin on the river. From the moment we walked in, we were happy. The woman greeting us was warm and friendly, the fireplace in the entry was beautifully decorated and warm, and our table was ready. Our server Cal was fun from the first moment we met. He described and explained the mocktails so well we immediately ordered some - the cosmo and the cider lemonade. So good! He gave us time to consider the menu options peacefully. We ordered: for me the small order of wings and a Cobb-like salad with blue cheese and farm egg and husband had a house burger with duck fat fries. Our server accidentally brought me the soup of the day, apologized and then said it was on the house if we wanted it. It was amazing. a bisque of potatoes, sriracha and lime crema that we shared. We felt lucky. The entrees we ordered were so well prepared and delicious. This was a meal that was worth every penny in every way - quality of food and personal, unrushed service. A true example of value for money. We hope to come back! read more

Had a great lunch experience with family recently during visit to Luray. Small historic feeling old home converted restaurant. Well decorated for the holiday! Staff was welcoming and moving quickly to serve the late lunch crowd. Our food and drinks were delightful! Had a great old fashion and good options for craft beers, wines and house drinks. We had the jerk chicken wings as an app, everybody enjoyed, well seasoned and cooked nice to a crisp they went fast! Everybody had a different burger temp and toppings and all was pleased. Duck fat fries are indeed fantastic! Too full for dessert but options sounded great and looked it as well based on table next to us. We finished our enjoyable meal and went across street to the bakery for breakfast and sweet treats! read more

We came here during our stay in Luray after our wedding. We wanted a nice dinner and drinks and boy did they deliver. We ordered the crab dip which was delicious and flavorful. Our drinks came out, mine being the espresso martini which was tasty but very strong. My husband got a whiskey drink which he enjoyed. The sirloin and mashed potatoes were delicious. My husband got the fried fish with mac and cheese. He also enjoyed his meal. Our waiter was so kind and friendly during our visit. Making recommendations and making sure we had everything we needed during our dinner. The bread and butter were also so delicious yet simple. Highly recommend. read more

NEVER GOING BACK. Had their tofu sandwich for lunch. It arrived absolutely burned -- the corners of the tofu were absolutely blacked and smelled burned -- and the wait person said that was the marinade used on the tofu! Yeah, right, black marinade on the corners only. I ate what I could of the thing, but it was awful. The kimchi totally soaked through the bottom of the bun so it all fell apart. The tofu, on the less burned areas, was tough and bland. It was cut into two triangles that overlapped, which makes no sense on a round bun. This was a total botch on the chef's part, and I also question why they have something so lousy on the menu -- a concession to vegetarians, I gather, since all the other sandwiches were burgers. read more

Delicious food; in fact the best we had while staying in Luray! Make a reservation if you're visiting on a weekend or holiday. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating with attentive staff. They had some very unique dishes as well, in addition to all of the American classics. The restaurant was very clean and the quiet ambiance was perfect for dinner conversation. read more

Great: Hummus Bowl with a very lemony hummus + a cucumber chickpea salad with lemon yogurt and a perfectly grilled naan/ The duck fat fries. Potato with skin on perfectly fried and salted. Ok but not great: the burgers while tasty and with a nice sear are overcooked and bit dry as a result. read more

Very good service and very good options on the menu. Pleasant environment. Plenty of parking in the back and on the street in front.

Wow! Excellent service. We were visiting the area and walked in on a Saturday night without reservations. There were no tables but we were given seats at the bar. The bar tender was really professional and very friendly. The food was delicious! I had fish & chips. My husband had scallops. So good! read more

Nice, small, cozy restaurant with a great atmosphere. The food was great, with a nice menu selection. Friendly and very accommodating wait staff. I would highly recommend the spicy mango margarita, it was delicious. For dinner, I had a ribeye steak with asparagus. It was cooked perfectly, and the taste was great. I will definitely return the next time I'm in the area. read more

Stopped by for an early dinner on a Friday during a weekend getaway. Excellent experience. Good menu variety and prices (especially if you're visiting from the city). Beautiful decor and ambiance in a charming space. Service was extremely fast. An absolute must to eat here if you're in Luray. Also, take the time to visit the other local shops on the Main St. read more

The Chop House Bistro is an absolute must. First of all, the restaurant itself is adorable. It's a house that has been turned into a restaurant, and it has the sweetest quaint charm. It was cozy, welcoming, and actually pretty quiet, which made the whole dinner feel relaxed and special. We had reservations and were seated right away. Our server started us off with fresh homemade focaccia, and my lord, it was delicious. So soft, airy, warm, and basically impossible not to keep reaching for. We all ordered the filet mignon, and every steak was cooked perfectly medium rare. Tender, seasoned beautifully, and genuinely melted in your mouth. You do get a choice of sauce, so we tried their house-made steak sauce. The steak honestly did not need a single thing, but the sauce was impressive too. Mild, a little sweet, a little smoky, and really well-balanced. My husband had the mashed potatoes and boldly claimed they were better than mine. I regretfully had to agree. My son and I had the goat cheese macaroni and cheese, and I am not exaggerating when I say it was the best mac and cheese I have ever eaten. We even asked for seconds to go, and I will absolutely be attempting a copycat version at home. We were too full for dessert, but I can promise you this meal did not disappoint. We will be talking about this dinner for years. We even said that if we were younger, we would totally plan an entire weekend around eating here again. read more

we had the chophouse salad, and the burners burger. The salad was organic, fresh, beautiful, and just delicious. The waiter recommended adding bacon to the burners burger, which added a smoky flavor to the savory sauce. It was fabulous, french fries, fried and duck fat, were super crispy and probably one of the best orders of fries I can remember. read more

Absolutely lovely meal at The ChopHouse in Luray a couple nights ago. Our server was lovely and a joy to talk with. We loved the foccacia bread to start and honestly, from there the night just stayed "very good". we ha 4 cocktails between us, the Old Fashioned, Farmer's Daughter, Broadened Horizons and Rye & Reason. All were amazing. We got the Crab Cake and the Pork Belly Bites to start and the latter was amazing, perfectly crispy and well flavored too. The crab cake was good too. I really like my sirloin too, and I liked the ability to change sauce with it too. I'll do that, and maybe even try the filet if we come back. My partner really liked the curry spice in her chickpea etc. veggie burger. The duck fat freis wiht mine were nice. Honestly, we were most blown away that all of that was just over $100. And, without any up-charge for swapping in the Fall Salad for the sides listed on the menu. If you're in Luray come here for a nice dinner. read more

Great Find In Luray Went hiking with my family in Shenandoah National Park this weekend and overnighted in Luray. We happened across The Chop House by mistake and a lucky one it was! Everything about the meal was fantastic! Our server Pete was terrific. My brother-in-law hit the nail on the head when he said "He was the most unpretentious, informative and friendly server I've run across". Very polite and helpful, you could just tell it made Pete happy to be helpful. The menu is not large, but the dishes we ordered were all top notch. First the Focaccia Bread came and it was just right, a good sigh of things to come. Next the Crab Dip. We are from Annapolis, a crab crazy town on the Chesapeake, where every restaurant has their own "award winning" crab dip, so we are very well acquainted with some of the best, but this one knocked it out of the park. It would win the "Best of Annapolis 2026" if this restaurant was in Annapolis. Next came the Sirloin, at Pete's recommendation. Salted perfectly, and cooked correctly to medium rare, with a side of asparagus cooked to crisp perfection and seasoned with a garlic butter that was just fantastic. We rapped it up with a flight of deserts to share, at Pete's recommendation. Deconstructed Cheese Cake, German Chocolate Cake, Creme Brûlée, and three of their house made ice creams. Again, just Wow. And when the bill came, again a very pleasant surprise. Steak dinner for 4, with cocktails and wine and the bill came to $250. Back in Annapolis that meal would have easily been $400 or more at Lunes Steakhouse, Ruth Chris or the Chart House. My wife and I agreed this meal was better than any we've had at any of these high end resturants. I can't recommend this place highly enough. We'll be back, and nothing against the other servers, but we'll make sure it's on a night Pete is working. Great job Pete and to everyone in the kitchen, just a terrific meal.

Me and my boyfriend came here to celebrate my birthday and we were not disappointed. Kristin was awesome with suggestions and so kind. She made the experience that much better. The food was heavenly. We both got the steaks and were thoroughly impressed. Cooked PERFECTLY. The parsnip sauce that you can choose is the best in my opinion. The mash potatoes and asparagus were also amazing. Our espresso martinis were delicious and the apple crisp was the perfect ending to the meal. It's a shame we were just visiting from out of town because this place will be on our minds for quite some time. Loved it! read more

Wow what a great restaurant with fantastic service, delicious food & great ambience! We sat on the front porch which was so nice to watch the traffic go by in beautiful weather! Stopped here while passing through the town on our 2 week motorcycle vacation to see this region and the fall leaves! This was a Quaint little town with super friendly people. We loved lunch and service so much today that Kate the owner (very nice and gracious) made us a dinner reservation at her Harrisonburg location to enjoy our last dinner in Harrisonburg! read more

In Luray to spend time with family and explore the area. We were looking for a local spot to dine with friends and could not have been more pleased with this choice. The food was fresh and prepared perfectly. Portions were a nice size and service was nicely attentive without hovering. The best surprise was the choice of artisan cocktails. With Fall in the air, the cocktail menu complimented the season perfectly. I truly would go back even if just for pre-dinner drinks! Nice local choice if you would like a bit upscale with being pretentious. read more

The restaurant was very starkly decorated and very noisy. Unfortunately, we were sat next to the door onto the porch where servers accessed the tables on the porch. It was 50* outside. We were cold through out and our food chilled very quickly. Our waitress was good, yet the food, though Okay, was disappointing. I expected much more from its association with the Local Chop House in Harrisonburg. read more

My family came here for dinner while on vacation in Shenandoah National Park. The restaurant is very nice for a date and also family friendly which is excellent. The pre-meal bread with butter and honey was very nice. For dinner my wife had the scallops and I had the filet minon both of which were excellent and cooked to perfection. The server was very polite and attentive. Unfortunately we could not stay for dessert because the kids started to meltdown.
