Welcome to Chophouse On Main

“ I just went to Chop House on Main for my birthday dinner. I had read the reviews, and most were very good. However, restaurant reviews more so than others, tend to be extremely subjective. I am rather picky when it comes to restaurant selections, but the emergence of a relatively new local restaurant peaked my interest. Entering the Chop House, we were immediately impressed by the ambience. So many new restaurants, for some unknown reason, like to mimic the bright white lighting found in big box stores, not warm and not comfortable. We found Chop House on Main cozy, welcoming, and warmly lit. The restaurant is also perfectly decorated, reminiscent of an earlier era with exposed brick and classic wood trim. We started the night with Cosmopolitans which were well balanced. Not too sweet and just the right amount of strong. As for the food, the onion ring appetizer was outstanding. We loved the homemade breading and the horseradish sauce. My salad with blue cheese dressing was also perfect. The dressing did not taste mass produced and was right on. The salmon my date ordered was one of the best, if not the best I’ve had at a restaurant. For myself, I ordered the ribeye, something I rarely do since that cut of beef is fatty by design in order to attain the incredible flavor for which it is known. I usually don’t order it because it often turns out to have too much fat and more gristle than is acceptable. This night however, I threw caution to the wind! The result… I was pleasantly surprised! it was delicious and filling! The final verdict? A great meal, great atmosphere, and great service! We will definitely be back! We are looking forward to trying other items on the menu and hanging out on the second floor which looks to be a great place to catch an Illini game! Job Well done, Chop House on Main! ”

“ The food and service is great in general. I would love to have less sauce on the pork chop and let the meat itself plays the role. The outside of the fish is a bit overdone but very tender and fresh tho inside. The salad and the brûlée are great. ”

“ The ChopHouse on Main provides a more formal sit-down atmosphere on the first floor and causal dining on the second floor. Providing different atmospheres from formal date night to a fun friends night out. But, it was all topped off by the great food and fantastic service!!
