Chop Shop Market & Table

Trevor was the best waiter ever! He knew the menu so well and was attentive and always made sure we had everything we needed to have a great dining experience.

Larye portions and very high quality food. Emma was an excellent server. Will definitely come back.

Returned to the Chop House again because we wanted to try the new soup and salad bar. I couldn't resist the cheese log appetizer again (cut down into large nugget size this time) - and it was still amazing.

The salad bar can be purchased separately for $12.99 or added to an entree for $5.99. I was feeling gluttonous so in addition to the appetizer, I went with the NY Strip w/fries and mac n cheese and added the salad bar. It was for research purposes for the Yelp community! Rest of family did sirloin steaks with baked potato and green beans.

Did I mention gluttony? The salad bar was fantastic - a bargain as an entree or ad an add-on. The soup choices were all great but I went with the chili (delish) and the baked potato and bacon (very good) and the fried biscuits and apple butter were great too. I may have had three. Or four.

Another good trip and we were very pleased with our food and our server - we will return but might need to reign in how much we order :).

I had brunch here a few months ago. I was so excited, but left very underwhelmed and disappointed. I expected better quality food (and better plating). My waffle was rubbery, and the fruit I asked for on top was a few slices of strawberries laid out flat on the waffle's surface. The server did bring me a bowl of strawberries, blueberries, and bananas after I asked, which was nice. For a $10 waffle, I expected it to at least be better than fast food, but it didn't even meet that bar. The person I was with got biscuits and gravy, which were also underwhelming (dry biscuits, what appears to be pre-made gravy).
Despite being only 1 of 3 tables there (a total
of 6 patrons) the service was very slow.
2 stars for being spacious and seemingly clean, and for the bowl of fruit.

Visited Bloomington & looking for a great steak - not a chain restaurant. We found Chop Shop online and the menu looked great! I love prime rib! And what better place to get a steak dinner than right at the butcher shop, right? Wrong!

We made a reservation for 4pm Wednesday evening, before a show. Reservation was not needed. We were the only patrons.

The restaurant is located in a strip mall. First glance didn't offer much curb appeal. We entered on the butcher shop side to a very well stocked dessert display, lots of refrigerated salumi items, charcuterie, an empty seafood case and a sparsely stocked meat case. The restaurant is to the right and looked new. We were seated immediately and ordered appetizers & drinks.

We ordered the smoked butcher board, beer and wine. The servers were not familiar with a couple of the wines, but provided a sample. Drinks & the board arrived in a timely manner. The butcher board was 3 smoked meats and sauces served on a thick butcher/cutting board. Great concept and the food was good.

Now to the main course! The entire reason for choosing this restaurant - prime rib! We placed our order and the server returned from the kitchen to inform us they were out of prime rib. NOT a good start. Ok, cowboy ribeye...server returned from kitchen to tell us they did not have that item either. Apparently, those menu items are for holiday or special occasion dining only - but printed on the daily menu. We ended up with filets - which was ok, just not what I wanted or expected from a butcher shop.

There is no way a butcher shop themed restaurant will stay in business with an empty, or half empty, meat counter and the best steaks on the menu NOT available.

Found this new space as I am always searching for new breakfast places in Bloomington. Located in a strip mall and at first drive up, not sure what to expect. When we stepped in, cool market, meat and dessert section to take what you need home.

We went to the new area for the restaurant. Great new space. Tables had an awesome finish and look. It was really quite when we arrived on Sunday at 10am so love to see that space activated and more energy.

Our server was really prompt and helpful. I asked for what were there best items for breakfast and she recommended the two items we already identified...Breakfast Skillet and Tacos of champions She did recommend we get a side of sausage gravy for the skillets so we decided to just get the Biscuit and Gravy as a dish we shared along with a side for the skillet.

I had the Tacos of Champions with chorizo. The tortilla was amped up by grilling with cheese. The chorizo was sliced with casing. The flavor of the chorizo was solid and really enjoyed my tacos! Potatoes were the side dish and they were good not great. They were dry which was surprising for breakfast.

Both my husband and son asked for bowl for the skillet. The skillet is really deconstructed...everything sits on top of a ton of potatoes...meats is on side and needs to be cut up to incorporate. It is mostly potatoes and without the sausage gravy would be very very dry and flavorless.

The Biscuit and gravy helped the overall meal. The gravy was the star of the show and had great flavor. Sadly the biscuit tasted like it was several days old and hard as a rock. Could eat the top of the biscuit but even the gravy couldn't soften the base of the biscuit.

Not sure that breakfast is there space which makes me sad as I really would like it to be. Will try again for lunch or dinner as really rooting for them!

I appreciate the soup and salad bar; however, the iceberg was browned, the soups had no ladles. Having to pay through Google Pay or Apple Pay was a bummer. I just paid cash. Lunch rush was over at 12:10pm. Will need a compelling reason to come back.

Greatest little place off the beaten path. I have been a few times and can't get over how fresh everything was!

The food should have been amazing. The menu looks delicious. However, everything came out over cooked and/or burnt. There was a new server but as the only patrons in the restaurant I was surprised we had to flag her down for drink refills. The manager reduced our meal and gave several reasons for the burnt food. She said they never have complaints (except for last night when someone else said their burger was overdone). Honestly would love to give them another try but it's a bit expensive to have another round of inedible food. While we we're leaving the manager absentmindedly asked if we wanted a box for the food we strategically ate around then said wait you don't want that! Update--my son had stomach issues into the evening after eating here. Hence the 1 star.

This is the first time that my husband and I eight at the restaurant we really enjoyed our time there and the food was very very good. I had the fillet sliders and I thought they were delicious. I did ask for more of the horseradish sauce which made them even better. We will definitely be back many times.
