The Chophouse

After taking a tour of the nearby Stones River National Cemetery in Murphreesboro, Tennessee we chose The Chop House for a late lunch.

The Chop House was established in 1992 by Mike Connor with the help of family and friends.  It has now become one of the premiere casual restaurant concepts in the Southeast with 12 locations in 4 states.

The lunch menu offers selections in four categories:  $7 - $10.  

Harold immediately zeroed in on The Steak Burger 8 oz. ground chuck with your choice of cheese, bacon and/or mushrooms with french fries.  $8


With a great char on the outside and cooked to a perfect medium, Harold declared this one of the best burgers he's had in a long while.  I had a small sample of the blue cheese and it was sublime.

Once I saw this item and its description, Slow-Roasted Prime Rib Sandwich 6 oz. served au jus on onion roll with Mac ‘n’ Cheese my decision was made.  $10

Now tell me your mouth didn't just water.  It did, didn't it?  I ordered mine cooked medium and it was fork tender.  Literally, fork tender.  Horseradish was offered either creamy style or grated.  I chose creamy.


The macaroni and cheese side dish could have been a meal by itself.  Instead of the regular elbow macaroni, these were plump shells to hold all the cheeesy goodness. A very light breadcrumb topping was almost too faint to notice but added a night little crunch with each bite.
