    We had a great dinner in a very quiet part of the establishment. Jen our waitress was excellent at making sure we had great service. We would certainly go again when in Staunton

    The Chop House was excellent, from the cocktails and appetizers (yummy crab dip and pork belly brussel sprouts) to the entrees ( tenderloin, burger and elk meat loaf). Our server was perfect... Left us alone to enjoy each course and checked back regularly. This is our third time eating at The Chop House and we'll definitely be back. Highly recommend it! Definitely make a reservation at last a few days in advance.

    Beautiful restaurant, but be ready for an active, loudish place. Our server didn't do a great job (didn't check in much, not especially friendly, couldn't answer some basic menu questions), but everyone has an off night, so I don't think that's some endemic problem. The food was quite good, and the cocktails were excellent. Suggestion for the owners: give every entree 2 sides. :-)

    Despite having some challenges with staffing in our done in might, the restaurant staff went above and beyond to make the experience lovely. The steaks were amazing. Cooked to perfection and the delicious flavor. And we were celebrating by husband’s birthday and a special treat was prepared and ready. Will definitely frequent this restaurant in the future.
