Mesquite Chop House

Went here for dinner the day before valentines. Area wasn't busy at all. We parked on the street at the front door. Decor is decent. Booth and table seating. We had the chocolate eruption then steak and chicken pasta. The cake was very good. Food was mid. Husband said the steak tastes like it was created in a lab. The asparagus was yellowing but ok to eat I guess. My pasta portion was large so he filled up on my dish. We left our debit card there and tracked it down days later. They had it safe for us. Thumbs up. We'd come back for the dessert.

We have lived down the street for almost a year and noticed that the restaurant was slowly re-opening, so we popped in with no expectations. Instantly were greeted warmly with the most fantastic staff and environment. Weren't looking for anything heavy so opted to just grab burgers - ended up being one of the best burgers I have ever had. Bobbi was so welcoming and personable. We'll be back!

The food and the service were amazing! Our server James was an absolute delight. Be sure to ask him for recommendations. He won't steer you wrong.

The 3 of us landed in Nashville & drove 3 hours to Memphis to start our Tennessee visit and we all craved steak! After a bit of study & debate we chose Mesquite Chop House. The surroundings are dark wood floors, red leather booth seating, classic chandeliers & high tin ceilings overhead. Very much a cool prohibition vibe. I started with a Manhattan. Easy choice since they age their own bitters. Delicious! My wife had an espresso martini that she loved (I found it a bit too sweet). My son & I ordered 16 ounce mid rare ribeyes. My wife had the 8 oz filet mignon. All steaks are flame broiled & served with garlic mashed potatoes (changing the side is a $3 charge at the time of this writing). We also ordered 2 Caesar salads. The Caesars was excellent but the croutons were not top notch. The steaks were cooked & seasoned perfectly. Nice sears & allowed to rest before service. Just like home! The mashed potatoes were abundantly seasoned with salt & pepper with an addictive character. I switched my side to the mushrooms & burgundy sauce which complimented the steak and potatoes as I'd hoped. We liberally used the rich mushroom sauce/gravy for steak dipping. We concluded our meal with a slice of shared chocolate cake which hit the collective spot but not much better than average & was served too cold in my opinion. All the servers & kitchen staff were ALL smiles & genuinely welcoming. We really enjoyed our visit & would happily return.

We came in here for a late bday dinner. Our reservations were for 9pm, which we were on time. We all ordered various entrees, various Temps. Our server was an eccentric human, a very strange man. They spent 20mins looking up directions on making me a drink. Yeah and guess what? It wasn't good. Lol Ww also spent a great deal of time discussing what they had run out of on the menu. When our meals came out they were all mixed up as to who had what. I ordered a ribeye med rare, I believe I was served a NY Strip, because the cut was tough like 1 to me. I didn't like my food. The others said their meals were ok, some enjoyed more than others. All of our steak temps were off, a few ppl sent their steaks back. Place only had 2 tables so these mistakes shouldn't have occured IMO. I wouldn't go back.

I've been in Memphis for just over a year and this was hands down the best meal I've eaten.We started with the spinach artichoke dip. It was delicious. Fresh ingredients and large portion with fresh tortilla chips. The duck... Oh damn was that good. I had been craving duck for a while and this went way above what I was expecting. As for the service, the bartender/waitress we had was so sweet and attentive and made some really good drinks.Don't let the outside scare you away. They are undergoing renovations but are open and cranking out some of the best food in Memphis.

We came for Memphis Downtown Dining Week, and were not disappointed! Parked right across the street in the "Parking Can Be Fun" garage for $8. The special menu had a variety of proteins and the food was delicious. Staff was friendly and attentive.

It was a very interesting experience. We had a reservation in the evening. After we were seated, we were told that they are closed. After finding out that we actually had a reservation, they were kind enough to serve us. We offered to go somewhere else. We ordered an appetizer and ribeyes. We ordered medium rare. When the waitress brought the steak to us, it was mooing. It looks like it had never seen the sun before. My friend, the waitress and I were shooketh. Before I even said anything, she offered to take it back. The steak lack ofFlavor. It was the opposite of tenderness. It was not worth it. It smells like an old house.

Overall this place is right in the middle. The food was good and they perfectly cooked all of our steaks but the service was poor.We had a group of 7 and it took a while to have anyone come over for drinks, then they took a while to come out. When we ordered our food there was a mix up on the salad and instead of fixing it the waiter just kept telling us we were wrong. We asked for more bread which never came out which I know sometimes happens but there was a significant delay in getting our entrees. Once we got our entrees they were not, perfectly cooked, seasoned and overall well executed. Unfortunately just hard for me to want to go back because of everything else.

We Had a wonderful experience at Mesquite!!!! the steaks were top notch and oh so tender.More people need to know about this hidden gem in downtown Memphis. We will be back soon. By the way Jessica was so very fri and accommodating to us.
