Bloomington ChopHouse

Our company took over the whole restaurant ahead of time so they were prepared for us. I do believe it's harder to serve everybody all at once. That being said I was underwhelmed.Steak skewer in the crabcake appetizer were both cold. My filet mignon came literally by itself on a plate with no sauce. Like much flavor. The mac & cheese and mushrooms were OK. It took a long time for dinner to get served. That being said hats off to the staff who worked their tails off. It wasn't a bad dinner. It just simply wasn't the best steak dinner I've ever had.

Excellent dinner at Bloomington Chophouse, located in the Hilton hotel. Went in for Restaurant Week and added a couple extra starters. Service was exceptional -- two waiters regularly checked in on us, ensuring our meal was pleasant and had everything we needed. Had a great conversation with both about food and drink recommendations. Here's the meal breakdown (Restaurant Week + more): - NA Red Wine Blend -- flavorful like a rosé. First time trying a non-alcoholic red wine and definitely would recommend. - Buffalo chicken soup -- good flavor, very creamy and rich. - Crab cake -- delicious! Loved it the most with the harissa vinaigrette and a squeeze of lemon. Really enjoyed that it didn't rely on breading to keep it formed which allowed the crab flavor to shine. - Hush puppies & Sausage -- both excellent! Best hush puppies I've had in a restaurant in the twin cities! Great flavor (slightly spicy) and had a nice crunchy coating. The sausage was delicious, juicy, and flavorful. In my opinion, both were excellent on their own and the sauce was not needed. - Brisket -- nice fat cap on top. Pulled apart easily with my fork. Paired nicely with the pickles and mustard. - Ribs -- Delicious spice rub (sweet and smoky) and very tender meat! Stellar! - Baked beans -- If chili and traditional baked beans had a baby, this would be it! Sweet, savory, and smoky with 3 types of beans and bacon. Wowzer! Knocked it out of the park! - Strawberry Shortcake -- where to start? The biscuit was baked to perfection and loved the sugar granules on the top half. The strawberry rhubarb sauce was perfectly balanced -- not too sweet and not too tart. The whipped cream tasted homemade. Fabulous dessert! Overall great dinner! Will definitely come back and recommend to friends!

I had a really nice meal here, which is located inside the Hilton. The steakhouse is not your average hotel restaurant, in my opinion. The service, steaks, sides & cocktails were really fantastic. Highly recommended!

Refined venue that blends Classic and Modern Steakhouse vibes (fresh flowers at the table, comfy booths and tables). They have great Happy Hour and other unique specials. We enjoyed the Ribeye (ordered Medium by my dinner guest), Steak and Shrimp, sautéed mushrooms, Oysters, and the best calamari I've had in quite some time. Tasty drink cocktails as well. Chocolate dipped macaroons to finish it off. Jay our server, gave us the VIP treatment. They also have Private Rooms available for special occasions. If you haven't tried this place, I highly suggest you do. The current staff if awesome, and obviously so is the food. I'll be back soon! Uploading the pics has me drooling.

We stayed in the Hilton Minneapolis/Bloomington and decided to try the Chop House. It was excellent. The host was pleasant, polite, and well dressed. Our waitress Michelle is a gem. She helped us decide on the components of a great meal. We shred a 9 oz American Wagyu NY Strip that was excellent. In fact it was so good it was better without the Bearnaise sauce! We also split a small wedge salad that was great. Had a nice 10 year old Rhône wine too. We look forward to our next chance to stay at the hotel and enjoy the Chop House again!

Came here for a work lunch. Pretty quiet at the time. We had a good waiter and he kept it pretty quick for us. I got a grilled chicken caesar salad (a classic go to for lunch) and it was good.. nothing outstanding. I probably would not come here unless it was for a work event though.

This is a solid 4.5 stars...from service to food, we had a wonderful experience. First off, the presentation of every single item was top notch. The crab cakes and creamed spinach were especially delicious. My hubs really enjoyed his Denver wagyu. I had the flatiron, which was not as good but still quality meat. I got the blue cheese crust, but I think the server just accidentally forgot. No biggie...there was a nice butter in the outside. Wrapped up the evening with a new nonalcoholic coffee concoction (on the menu) that was tremendous. They have a nice Saturday date night menu for two with a bottle of wine, app, 2 entrees, and dessert for $100.Purple rain cocktail & classic manhattan Crab cakesFlatiron & Denver and wagyuCreamed spinachAfter dinner coffees

Warning about their 17th anniversary celebrationIf you received an email from The Bloomington Chophouse in early January 2025 regarding their 17th anniversary event running through February, you should know that they reneged on their pledge to reduce prices to opening day. They now claim that offering a 17% discount is providing greater value than reverting to opening day prices. What a joke. Here are just two examples and there are many others like it. Back in 2008, the prime rib cost $28. Today, it's $45. To get from $45 to $28, you'd have to discount it 38%. The wedge salad was $7 and now costs $13 which requires a discount of 46% to get down to $7. On average, to get back to 2008 prices, the average discount would have to be 38%, yet somehow, their management thinks that a 17% discount is a "greater value". They played the bait and switch game to get me into their restaurant and then changed the game. Not fair! Maybe the way their management treats their customers is why they use Tock instead of OpenTable. You can't leave reviews on Tock but you can on OpenTable. 2008 menu attached.

The service was excellent. The food was so sub par I can't even explain. I was there alone, staying at the hotel for a reunion. I ordered the Chef Board which is assorted meats, cheese and bread. So for $25 I was served about 2 ounces of sliced meats, about a tablespoon of blue cheese, 2 small slices of a pepper cheese, a couple green olives, 8 blueberries (whatever) and 4 tiny pieces of stale bread, like really stale.I wish that I had taken a picture.

Steak was horrible. Not cooked correctly. Very disappointing. I can't recommend this place. The steak I ordered was supposed to include tableside service - didn't get it.
