For a place that is all about their overpriced steaks, both my date and I were extrememly dissapointed at the meal quality. We both ordered two steaks and they were awful. They were extremly dry and hard to eat. They had no flavor at all. The only upside to this place is the atmosphere.

Pros: nice area of town, nice atmosphere

Cons: bad food, very expensive

I made reservations originally for 4 people for a Sunday brunch. The host on the phone was friendly. I called back a week later to enlarge the party to 7. The host wasn't sure if we could be comfortably accommodated and called me back immediately after speaking with a manager. I appreciated her taking the time to do that. Overall, the Sunday brunch buffet was great. Plenty of options to choose from but not too many that the quality of food suffered. Our group had no complaints. Our server was friendly, efficient and very accommodating.

Pros: Great service, good brunch options

I was happy with my experience. Went for dinner but it turned out to be happy hour so we sat at the bar for the specials. I'm surprised it wasn't crowded because all the appetizers were half off. Great food. Plenty to share. Martini's were $5 and VERY good. I will definitely be returning.

Ladies and gentlemen this is by far one of the best restaurants in our fair city. My wife and I along with another couple had a tremendous meal last week. One of those meals that you want to take a long walk after. say like to the Indiana state line and back. The strip steak was tender and flavorful. The tuna chop was as good as pier 66 in San Fran. Do yourself a favor and partake in the appetizer sampler. The menu says it feeds four. More like 6. Try the Keylime as a freshing finish. The new 180 bottle wine list is easily one of the best in the area and the brews are better then Greatlakes. The ice bar is cool. Service is friendly, efficient and engaging. In today's competive restaurant market one really needs to seek some value. The Chophouse provides just that with large portions and generious drinks. The music is awesome.

Pros: The food is great

Cons: the dining in the middle area is a little loud

My husband and I went to the Cleveland Chophouse for my birthday on a friday night. He had shrimp cocktail and I had the spinach and artichoke appetizer. The spinach and artichoke was terrible. It was very bland and served with pillow like bread triangles. For dinner my husband ordered the peppercorn steak and I ordered the shrimp scampi. Both of our meals were just mediocre. Service was very good though and the cornbread was delicious. The bill came to $75 before the tip and that's with no drinks. I won't go back to the Chophouse again.

Had reservations for 8 and only 3 showed thus greatly reducing the waiters tip, he remained professional and accommadating. We all ordered steak and lobster tail, the food was superb and we are planning to return soon! Yes we left a large tip.

Pros: atmosphere, great food, good parking

I had a great meal and a great experience at the Cleveland Chophouse. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Try their microbrews, they are excellent and the bar has an ice rail which was "cool".

Pros: Food, Staff

Had the peppercorn NY Strip with a monstrous helping of garlic mashed potatoes. The food was fabulous, the cornbread covered in melted butter, the asparagus, portabello mushroom caps were all just incredible. We ordered some IPA's which were ok, and the Cabernet and Single Malt were top notch.

Pros: steaks, wine, single malts

I chose the chop house for my birthday and the food was great! Spinach and artichoke dip was piping hot and delicious. We each had a salad that was out of this world. The steaks are huge along with the 4 cups of mashed potato served with the steak! The only disappointment was the complimentary "brownie" and ice cream they gave me for my birthday. The brownie had absolutely no taste and was dry as a bone. Perhaps if they would have brought the dessert menu, they could have made a few extra bucks. I would definately recommend them to anyone craving a huge steak! The micro-brewed beers are also highly recommended!

Pros: Steak, Microbrewed Beer, Side Dishes

Cons: Dessert

Someone has a vedetta against the chophouse because I previously gave this establishment a glowing review. To summarize what was said before, it was an awesome experience. We (My date and I) went to the restaurant late on a friday night in Septemeber 2004. We arrived at 10:30 and had virtually NO wait. Our waiter was very attentive and our food was great. My date had a steak covered in crumbled blue cheese, and I had shrimp scampi. The sweet cornbread is to die for. We spent about $70 for the two of us and that included alcoholic drinks. Please don't let a few negative reviews stop you from trying this wonderful restaurant. You'll be missing out on a treat!

Editor's Review

A sheer sense of beef exuberance, to the tune of Glenn Miller.  See the full editorial review.
