The Nashville Chop House

Sorry but I'm local and this place is now sad. Had anniversary dinner recently and was hoping it would be better than last time. Unfortunately didn't happen...beer was not cold,NY strip was god awful , Cajun shrimp was just oil and garlic and the bartender seems to think he is the show. Don't think this place would make it without tourist coming to the music center, owner must be okay with just 1 time customers.

I really wanted to like this place. The whole placed smelled like the pool. The floors in the bathroom were squishy like I was about to take a quick trip south. I've had better steaks at Applebee's. No flavor, chewy, whole table shook trying to cut it...and only $64. I love some slightly burnt Brussel sprouts but these were dry, flavorless and basically only carbon. The shrimp cocktail sauce was ok but the shrimp were just big and dense, again no real flavor. And not to mention over $200 for 2 adults and 2 kids. We will not be returning and it bums me out.

Loved it!!! Loved all the Navy themed memorabilia. The service was great
We went on IU graduation day and the server made sure we knew the wait might be a little longer. We still got our food fairly quickly. He was attentive and took good care of us.

We were so looking forward to this experience and unfortunately it was nothing we expected. We made reservations at 7:15 for 7 of us. We were there for a bachelorette party and wanting a nice dinner out in Nashville. This was the top restaurant recommended. We arrived early (6:50) just incase we could be sat. We waited till our reserved time but were not sat till 7:35pm. Once we were sat we ordered our waters and food right away. We were not checked on or informed about our food for almost an hour. We ordered 2 steaks, a chicken sandwich, the pesto gnocchi, and 3 carbonaras. Once it came out, around 8:35, all three carbonaras were cold and honestly one of the smallest portion sizes I’ve seen (almost like they took 2 ordered and split them into 3) and the gnocchi didn’t come out until like 5-10 minutes after everything. Unfortunately I would not recommend a party making reservations here at all. Dining in for 2-3 would probably be better because they were all sat and served wayyyy before us and taken care of completely. You could tell the staff was overwhelmed and for the price of everything we expected better food and service.

Avoid at all costs- there are better places to eat than here. The food is overpriced, they serve burgers but not fries, and the atmosphere felt awkward. The bar next to the dinning area was loud with loud music, loud bartender, and just seemed like a place you'd go to for drinks. Maybe that's why their food was so despicable. The burger was so well done it was burnt! The bun was cold and salad looked old with burnt croutons. The wait for two overcooked burgers was close to 50 minutes and it wasn't worth it. Needless to say, we won't be coming back here and I'm only writing this review to warn others.

We visited The Nashville Chop House expecting a nice steakhouse experience, but it turned into a frustrating one.

Right away, the restaurant was very rigid. My wife asked to order from the kids menu since she wasn’t very hungry and was told no, with no flexibility. That immediately set the tone.

Then we found out sides are not included (not clearly explained in the menus), fries weren’t available, and even basic items like steak sauce cost extra. It felt like everything was structured to nickel-and-dime the customer.

The biggest issue was the wait. We waited about an hour for our food, and we could hear other tables nearby were complaining too. There was no communication or acknowledgment of the delay.

The food itself was good, but it doesn’t make up for poor service, long wait times, and an unfriendly experience.

We spent about $85 and left disappointed. We honestly should have left earlier and will not be returning.

$60 for a 7oz filet. Had no seasoning whatsoever. Ordered medium and received well done. Sat at the table for an HOUR (no exaggeration) before we received our food. There was only 4 of us and we all only got a singular steak with mashed potatoes as our side, no appetizers. There was only 1 other table sat, so I don’t see why it took so long. For the 4 of us it ended up being $352 total.
Atmosphere just feels cheap and the bathrooms were dirty. Will not be back.

It is the off season so it was quiet. The menu wasn't updated so what we saw in there and tried to order wasn't available. The menu was outdated and the server's excuse was that the printer was out of paper and the owner waa out of town. Many things weren't available and the server had to apologize because the board was outdated, too. The service was great but that's the only good thing. The food that we could order was marginal, at best.

The food was good but way over priced for what you received. Everything was sold al carte and the sides were definitely over priced. The service was fine but it took a long time to get our food and they were not that busy. We will more than likely never eat there again.

Planned a getaway weekend to go back to one of our favorite restaurants, or at least used to be. After this past weekend, we will never go back. Wedge salads were soggy; no pork chops. Ordered both steaks medium; hers was rare, mine was well done. Drinks came out late or were forgotten about. At this point, our overall disappointment was enough to just leave. We don't usually write reviews, but if you're paying over $200 for a meal, please ensure it's at least a little right. Steaks were just plain bad.

I don’t understand how this place has any good reviews… prices are incredibly high even compared to a big city, and everything kept coming out burnt! This was the chicken on the sandwich. We started with the baguettes and they came out burn AND frozen.

Two older ladies and the manager were arguing behind us because she ordered her steak rare and it came out med well. It was surprising hearing how disrespectful he was to a customer!

I absolutely HATE leaving a small business bad reviews as I don’t like to hinder people’s livelihoods. However, I feel compelled to. I read other reviews but against my better judgment, we came anyway. The smell others mentioned in their comments is 100% accurate. It’s a mix of the hotel pool and what can only be described as clothes left wet for too long, then dried with too many dryer sheets. It was aggressively off putting. Then we order. They have walleye that my wife orders. They take the order then say we are out of the rice that the walleye comes on. No biggie, happens sometimes. Can let that slide. She changes her order. Then I order the most standard steakhouse meal of all time. Filet with Caesar salad and baked potato. They tell me they’re out of sour cream. Now I’m mildly annoyed. I’ve owned food service businesses. If you are close to running out of standard staples, you send someone to get more from a grocery store to make it through dinner service. This isn’t rocket science. Anyway, I let it slide and switch to the mashed potatoes. We get our salads. The blue cheese dressing on my wife’s wedge salad tastes like mayonnaise with blue cheese crumbles added. No flavor. She eats 5-6 bites and calls it quits. I get a Caesar salad. The croutons were homemade and good. Other than that this was a super wet, bad tasting, soggy mess. The dressing tasted awful. I ate a few bites and called it quits. At this point we just want to get the meal over with and go home. Main courses come out. My filet is not great tasting and is cold. I took one bite and decided I was done. The mashed potatoes looked bad so I didn’t even try them. My wife took a bite of the ravioli she ordered and said Costco ravioli tossed in sauce would have been better.
We are not super picky people. We will eat a not great meal and move on. This was on a whole different level of bad. We told the server we had to leave and got our check. This was the icing on the cake. We had two salads, an order of raviolli, an order of mashed potatoes, 7 oz filet and 1 old fashioned. It was $147 before tip. The old fashioned that looked like it was from a sports bar was $20 alone. This had ice from an ice machine. Hard truth’s really good old fashioneds are $5 cheaper. The prices are not listed.
I never want to say bad things about small businesses. I know it’s hard to make it in the restaurant business. However, this was so bad it made me angry. We paid, tipped well and left but we will never be back. Terrible experience.

Food was awesome. Local company was great. Joe was great. Thanks to all
