If you haven’t tried Dallas Chop House, make it a priority!We decided to try it out after work for some happy hour specials. The dining area of the restaurant is huge and very nicely decorated. We ended up getting a table in the bar area since it was still early. The bar has floor to ceiling windows that look on to Main Street and their outside patio. It was raining so we couldn’t sit out here, but we definitely would have. They have a fabulous outdoor fireplace and fun furniture. By 6:00 the bar was packed with downtown professionals. Side note: While they offer a smaller bar menu, they allow you to order off of the full dining menu from the bar as well. 
We ordered wine to begin with, but they have an array of cocktails as well. They even have Patron and Kettle One on tap! Apparently, this keeps the liquor much cooler. Who knew! Once the drinks were ordered, we were brought their complementary chips. They were basically a potato chip that was tossed with several different spices. I am pretty sure we ate the entire bowl!!
On our second round, we decided to order some appetizers to pick on. I asked the waitress what she recommended and the first thing that she mentioned was their mashed potatoes. Sold. You basically get to “design” your own because you get to choose the type of butter that you want to accompany your mashed potatoes. We picked truffle butter and we made an excellent decision! They were absolutely delicious. The waitress also mentioned that the lobster butter was also very good. I will be back for that!
We also ordered the steak fries, crab cake, and shrimp. The steak fries were tossed with garlic, swiss cheese, and prosciutto. The fries were really thick ( which I generally do not care for), but the coating was out of this world. They were crunchy and very flavorful. The crab cake was very unusual. It is sort of like a deconstructed crab cake that is served cold. It sounds weird, but it sure didn’t taste weird. The crab meat was mixed with an aioli sauce and then served on toasted brioche bread. The bread was buttery and the lump crab meat was scrumptious. We also tried the jumbo shrimp diablo. The shrimp were wrapped in bacon and served on a bed of cheese grits. They, they were drizzled with a creole meuniere sauce. The shrimp came four to an order and this could have easily been a meal in itself. The ingredients that were paired in this dish complimented each other perfectly.
I am sure you can tell, but we all absolutely loved this place. We will be back and all we have to do is go downstairs!
