Rochester Chop House & Bar - (Near Rochester, MI)

5 /5 Lynette Lind: We were there during the holiday season The lights downtown were beautiful our waiter Patrick was fantastic. The entire staff was great. The food was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend the angel raviolis! It was a perfect way to celebrate our 3-year anniversary.

5 /5 Anna Bondar: The food is exceptional! The steak frites were sooo tender and delicious, also I liked the calamari appetizer a lot:) Spinach salad was great!! So my experience was great at this place I highly recommend that restaurant

1 /5 Danielle Merkle: We’ve given Rochester Chop House & Bar two chances, and unfortunately, both visits were underwhelming. The best word to describe this restaurant is mediocre. I’ve tried two different steaks here, and both were surprisingly bland. A properly cooked, well-seasoned steak should not need to be smothered in sauce or covered with salt and pepper at the table. Yet everyone in our group reached for both. The portion sizes for appetizers and the so-called “shareable” sides were disappointing and small enough that we left still feeling hungry. The bacon "wrapped" shrimp starter isnt even wrapped in bacon, the 3 shrimp just had shredded bits of bacon. Service was similarly lackluster. On our last visit, the waitress asked if I would like a salad with my steak. The way she phrased it made it sound like it was included, only for it to appear as an extra charge on the bill. I do not appreciate being upsold by surprise. If you are looking for a properly cooked, flavorful steak, skip Rochester Chop House and go to Steakhouse 22 instead. They know how to do it right.

2 /5 Masen Brown: I really wanted to like this place, but mediocre best describes it. Cardboard placemats on top of white tablecloth ruins the ambience and elegance that the restaurant is trying to seek. Zero specials on the menu, we did go on a Tuesday night, but it is also Thanksgiving week so there is an increased volume for all restaurants. They do offer a wide selection of cuts so there’s that but this restaurant feels like it is constantly playing catch-up, but it won’t get there. Sidenote the men’s bathrooms don’t even have a barrier wall between urinals. Major renovations needed.

5 /5 Jon Paul Kraft Goltz: Came here for Sweetest Day and my girlfriend and I had a fantastic experience. Jonathan (Jon) was our server and he did an amazing job and was very hard working and made perfect recommendations off of the menu. We even saw him inspecting dishes and wiping the rim of a dish off at another table so that it had perfect presentation before it was served to the customer. A truly fine dining experience and a place that goes the extra mile for the customers. We loved the butter and the black sea salt for the bread, the filet was perfectly prepared “Pittsburgh Style” which is a lost art at many steakhouses, the frog legs were to die for, and the fries that were served with them were like the best McDonald’s fries you’ve ever had and then elevated to the next level. My girlfriend had the seafood Ravioli which she said was stuffed with lobster and loved it. We finished the night off with an awesome monster sized hot fudge cream puff and I had the best Brown Sugar Old Fashioned ever served and my girlfriend had a very tasty cucumber martini. Ryan also popped in at our table a few times and was truly a pleasure to speak with. You can tell that he truly cares about the restaurant, his customers, and his coworkers. This was our first time at the Rochester Chop House and we will 100% be back very soon for another memorable evening. 5 stars and 2 big thumbs up!
