Bob's Steak & Chop House - Grapevine Grapevine

It was an amazing day in Grapvine – ICE at the Gaylord, Main Street, and now Bob’s Chop House!

Om: I have only been to Bob’s Chop House once, and it was the Dallas location years ago. First off, this place was beautifully decorated for Christmas, and I would go so far to say that this is the most wonderful I’ve seen a restaurant around this time of year. Garland, ornaments, and lights everywhere! The bread was a large round loaf with plain butter, which is fine with me. We also ordered three onion rings – the waitress gave us an option to order as many as we wanted and just charge us per ring. Cool! They were very good, had crunchy batter and good taste. Maybe top 3 that I’ve had? I also tried some beef soup which was outstanding. It’s like someone slow roasted rib meat and added that to bean soup. My main course was a filet, chips, and their famous glazed carrot. The filet was a little tough, I’ve had better, but it was still tasty. If I could order 20 glazed carrots and make that my meal I would, yummy. The chips were not totally chips…maybe a little thicker? Doesn’t matter, they were awesome. There is one thing that almost ruined the night, and that was the table about 15 feet away from us. It was a bunch of mid-40 looking guys clearly reliving the past. Drinking, loud cursing, and no regard for those sitting in the area. Management seemed hesitant to do anything about it, which was very disappointing. Our waitress took everything in stride and was solid the entire night. Anyhoo, the food was above average but not excellent, but the décor was something to see. I would go back around the holidays, but would be open to trying other similar restaurants during the non-Christmas season.

Nom: I have never been to a Bob’s Chop House before my handsome love took us at Christmas! They had really gone all out decorating the restaurant! Absolutely beautiful!! I always give our favorite Italian place props at the holiday but Holy Cow!!! This was amazing…even if you don’t just love steak find a reason to check them out! We started with bread and it was just your standard bread and butter, which I really like! We also ordered three, yes you can by their onion rings individually, onion rings which were really good. They are the thick coated huge variety! My handsome love had some beef barely soup instead of a salad and it was very tasty! I could have eaten a bowl of soup and a few onion rings and been satisfied! I had the ribeye steak and I always expect it to be well marbled and kind of fatty, which is what I like in steak, but this one was super lean for a ribeye. It was very flavorful but not as tender as I would have liked for sure. Still it was tasty and our waitress was super nice and helpful. I have to add that she was quite the trooper…she had to serve what I call “glory days”. You know…boys night out. Drunk, loud and entertaining for about 20 minutes until that fateful moment you hear one of them talking about how happy their wife is…aside from glory days the restaurant was really something to see. Oh and when you go make sure you try the fruit sours on your way out!
