    This is usually one of my favorite restaurants. Tonight was my birthday dinner and my filet was mediocre. I sent the first filet back. The second was marginally better. My husband was almost finished eating when my dinner arrived. The manager said the cook offered free dessert. I didn’t get a free dessert. To be honest the dessert menu isn’t anything that I like. It will take some time before I go back.

    Exceptional Dining Experience at Local Chop & Grill House! My spouse and I recently celebrated our 26th wedding anniversary at Local Chop & Grill House in Harrisonburg, VA, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we walked in, we were treated with warmth and genuine hospitality. Our server, Casey, was absolutely fantastic—attentive, knowledgeable, and incredibly kind. She made sure every detail of our meal was perfect and added a personal touch that made the evening even more special. To top it off, Steph, the General Manager, went above and beyond to ensure we had a truly memorable celebration. Their thoughtfulness and exceptional service turned our dinner into an unforgettable experience. The food, as always, was phenomenal. The steaks were cooked to perfection, the flavors were rich and well-balanced, and the presentation was beautiful. Every dish we had reflected the quality and care that Local Chop & Grill House is known for. If you’re looking for a top-notch dining experience with outstanding service, this is the place to go. A huge thank you to Casey, Steph, and the entire team for making our anniversary so special—we will definitely be back!

    In general food was good; a little disappointed with menu; would like to see more fish that is broiled, not breaded. In February CH offered an Ahi tuna steak which was very good. Salmon on menu was farm raised, not wild. Seasonal soup was delicious. Service was excellent, as usual. Our server was very attentive.

    Excellent service and great food. The menu is set up as a three-course meal, although you are not restricted to ordering that way. Our first course was Brussels sprouts, and the second two different salads: a house special salad and a Caesar. Our main course was the 9-oz filet. The steaks were done to order. We did split a dessert. It was a triple chocolate cake a la mode. The cake was not overwhelmingly chocolate as many triple chocolates can be. We were there for an anniversary and there was a complementary champagne. It was a relaxing experience with a nice ambiance and great food.

    The entire experience was excellent, from the reservations through the end of the visit...flawless; we could not have been more pleased. All menu options sounded delicious and our waiter Kris was exceptionally knowledgeable about all menu items and was very professional. We started off with their amazing fresh focaccia bread (some of the best we have ever eaten) and then continued on to the brussel sprouts appetizer; absolutely delicious. My wife selected the sirloin with arugula chimichurri with an amazing side of apples, sweet potatoes and kale. I chose the scallops and yukon gold mashed potatoes with a demi-glace sauce. Everything was cooked to perfection. Being able to source the majority of the food locally was a bonus and the quality of it really shined through. Thanks for a great evening of dining, and Kris, the bonus piece of focaccia to go really made our evening. Very thoughtful touch. Really looking forward to our next visit!

    My steak was perfect, my husband's pork chop was kind of gristly. Apps and drinks were delicious, dining room was a little sleepy for a Saturday night (they were setting up all the tables for the next day while we were just served our dinner). Perhaps we should have stayed in the bar which seemed fun and cozy and a little more lively.
