Chop House Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "The food is stunning, the chicken was succulent with a crispy skin!"
• "The mushroom side was so delicious."
• "The steak was pretty good for only 21 pounds."
• "The ribeye was amazing, without sauce perfect, and with peppercorn, the best steak in the east coast besides Hawksmoor, for half the price."
• "Absolutely incredible! From the atmosphere to the service and drink list, Chop House ticks all the boxes."
• "Had a great time here on Sunday. The food was incredible and was a huge portion."
• "Absolutely beautiful meal! Very rarely find a steak restaurant that cooks their steaks the right way but Chop House did."
• "Fantastic staff, atmosphere and the steaks were incredible! Seriously one of the best steaks I’ve ever had."

Cons:

• "Tried rump steak instead of my usual fillet or ribeye; unfortunately, it was too chewy."
• "The steaks came out quite overdone that we had to send them back."
• "Steak overcooked received well done instead of medium."
• "My fillet was cooked perfectly and there is a good range of sides. I'd definitely recommend the Beef Fat Chips."
• "Very disappointed with the food will not be returning, we got chicken wings to start which were awful."
• "Some of the better steaks in this part of Edinburgh. If you like a Ribeye or Fillet this is the place to go or their other place in Leith!"
• "The lobster tasted limp, mushy and not fresh."
• "The steak was cooked unevenly, medium well to well done in different parts despite asking for medium rare."

Service

Pros:

• "Friendly and helpful staff. I'd return to explore their other dishes."
• "The staff were very welcoming, friendly and attentive."

• "The staff were wonderful. They were extremely helpful with allergies and really did their best to make dealing with allergies a stress free process."
• "The wait staff made sure we had everything we could want and went above and beyond."
• "Staff were lovely, food was gorgeous, wait time was short."
• "Myself an my wife got a voucher from friends, we had chicken wings and prawns to start and porterhouse for our main along with chop House beer and cocktails. Wow by far the best meal we have had in Edinburgh, we are big foodies and would highly recommend going. Staff were so polite and welcoming amazing guy's keep up the good work."

Cons:

• "Mediocre experience overall considering the price. The food was good however the service wasn’t great, barely seemed like the servers were bothered."
• "Couldn’t fault the place at all. We had the 800g Porterhouse steak for the Wednesday special. Amazing piece of meat, better than any Hawksmoor steak I’ve ever had. Cocktail game is strong, charcoal old fashioned was very impressive. Really friendly staff and great service."
• "Can’t comment on the food because I’ve been sat here waiting for it for 1.5hrs. I’ve only managed to order one beverage as the waiters may as well be not here."
• "Staff were really welcoming, professional and efficient. Well done to them. Happy with that. Was underwhelmed with food however."
• "Service was okay given that they were so busy, but we were quite disappointed with the experience overall."
• "Came here for our first night in Edinburgh, it’s a little over our usual budget but we thought we would treat ourselves."
• "Helpful staff and some good dishes, sadly let down by slow service and many little errors that niggle given the steep pricing."
• "Very poor Christmas meal for the price of it. Badly organised and the food quality was not good."
