- KLKarenLovesPhilaPhiladelphia / New Jersey Suburbs •8 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoMy husband and I recently went to ChopHouse Grille in Exton to celebrate our anniversary. The server, Kate, was very kind and was exceptionally attentive and efficient. We had no idea she was very new to waiting tables as she was pro all the way. Other staff members stopped by as well to make sure all was good. The food was amazing, and we loved the beer, wine, and cocktail choices. Best prime rib I ever had and at a very reasonable price. My husband’s steak was also excellent! We would highly recommend sharing the Greek salad as an appetizer. Also the best we ever had. The sides and dessert were delicious. No complaints here!More infoChopHouse Grille$$$$• American• Exton•4.5
