Chop House Tavern

Chop House Tavern is a premier farm-to-table steakhouse located at 29 N Augusta St in the heart of downtown Staunton, Virginia. Part of the Local Chop and Grill House family, this third location continues the brand's celebrated commitment to sourcing fresh, locally-grown ingredients from nearby Shenandoah Valley farmers and producers. The restaurant features an elegant yet welcoming atmosphere perfect for both intimate dinners and special celebrations. Owners Brad Reese, Ryan Zale, and Kate Hill have created a dining destination that showcases the rich agricultural heritage of the Shenandoah Valley through seasonal menus that change throughout the year. The dinner menu offers an impressive selection of premium cuts, including their signature chops and steaks prepared with meticulous attention to detail. For a truly memorable experience, guests can indulge in the three-course prix-fixe dining at $70 per person, which includes an appetizer, entrée, and dessert with multiple options in each category. The dessert menu is particularly noteworthy, featuring house-made treats like the decadent Chocolate Cake with vanilla buttercream, toasted coconut, and pecans, the artistic Deconstructed Cheesecake with lemon custard and blueberry compote, and the classic Creme Brulee with vanilla bean custard. The restaurant is open Monday through Saturday from 4:00pm to 8:30pm and is closed on Sundays. Reservations are strongly recommended, and the tavern also offers catering services for private events throughout the Shenandoah Valley region. General Manager Hudson Hill ensures every guest receives impeccable service in this cornerstone of Staunton's culinary scene.
