Mesquite Chop House

Went here for New Year’s Eve. It was my fourth time to visit. Food and service have been consistent. Loved the steak. Strawberry butter with the bread is different and great! The bad was great as well. This place is one of our favs now.

After change of management, the place needs much more improvement. Our New Year Eve’s experience was not great. For start, our reservations were not there, they were lost. The food was just ok, not great. Cheesecake was not available at the time of our desert. I had to persuade our waitress to pour some champagne at midnight — she was too busy chatting to notice the time. It seems the two girls serving at the bar had too much on their shoulders! They were also the waiters for all the customers in the bar room. I wonder if you are trying to save money? It does not work that way. The bathrooms were dirty and flooded. The place is dark and gloomy. Should be decorated for holidays!
The only good thing was musicians.

The food here is abominable. I don’t think that I have actually been to a worse restaurant. Waffle House would be a better option and more well-​deserved of your hard-​earned money. Don’t let anyone fool you. I can guarantee that people that work there are the only ones leaving positive reviews. Please people do not waste your money. I even think that it is questionable whether or not the beef is prime grade. I have worked in steakhouses and know that you can’t technically grade filets as prime, because they don’t have enough marbling.

I had high spectations! The restaurant did not deliver. Poor service, the Caprese Salad was a chunk of tomatoes and mozzarella??? My filet was cold and over cook, I ordered medium and was more than medium, very dry. The lobster mac and cheese, super spicy, nothing we ordered was delicious, the presentation of the food, terrible. I choose the Butcher Shop even Longhorn over Mestique Chop House!!!

I’ve stopped in here a few times recently as a patron. The food is always supreme, and cooked to perfection. Farm to table fresh vegetables are hard to beat and worth a visit. My wife loves the chicken. Their mash potatoes are awesome as well. I enjoy having the Grilled Cesar Salad which is different, and unique. The atmosphere is good, the food is really good, although overpriced. It’s good spot for special occasions but bring a fat wallet.

Worst steak ever. They tried twice and couldn’t cook the strip medium rare.
Don’t bother coming here.
The buffalo salad was the best part of the meal.
The calamari app was below average.

Great time here! This was the final stop before heading back to Chicago after staying the weekend for a friend’s wedding. His family was kind enough to have the restaurant opened as a favor to us before it actually opened. Our waiter was extremely patient with our party of 11 – then again we were the only people in the restaurant so he was able to be attentive to us. The brunch is really good. I loved the crab cake Benedict and cheese grits. YUM! My friends also raved about the omelette, shrimp & grits, and burger, all from the lunch menu.
The food option of the hour was the DELICIOUS bread and strawberry butter. Words wouldn’t do it justice. Just try it for yourself. This place was a great end to a fantastic weekend. I certainly recommend this place for brunch.

My group of about 30 held an event here in the private room. The room itself is lovely and adjoins the patio. We ordered from a set menu, but when I asked for a vegetarian option I was accommodated. Our service was not the speediest, but that fit with our program for the evening. Many in our group chose prime rib or a spicy shrimp. Most were pleased, I think. A few thought the shrimp too spicy. I was served mushrooms, asparagus, smashed potatoes and broccoli and all were good. A service misstep was that our bread arrived after our entrees instead of prior to or with our salads. The cheesecake was fine, but not exceptional. Overall, it was a nice evening. I think the price reserves this for a special occasion, but the food may not live up to the price or the event.

Decided to give it another try to make sure the first time was not a fluke. It was not. People remembered me by name and what i ordered before.
Got the prime rib this time and it was on point. Wife got the ribeye and it was cooked perfectly.
For those that may have had a lousy experience before, the new GM is on top of everything and will make 100% certain that you leave satisfied.

Everything was great. Good food and good service. Wasn’t going to come based on reviews, but I think only people with bad experiences are posting. We really enjoyed everything.

This is a white table cloth type of place. Quite and romantic and very expensive. I had a perfectly grilled steak served at the exact temperature that I ordered. My husband found his meal to be served cold and lacking seasoning.

Came today for brunch since we had a party of 13 and needed a last minute spot. My wife and I had been here before and were underwhelmed (see prior review). We had a 12:15 reservation and were one of three tables in the restaurant. We were all seated and ordered around 12:30. Our food began arriving around 1:15 and continued to arrive until 1:50. We had to continue to remind the staff of items we’d ordered/​requested but not received. What we did receive was flavorful, but often cold as if it had been in the window of the kitchen for awhile. We desperately want to like this place since its local and close, but this is strike #2. Not sure what they would have done if more than three tables had shown up since it seemed the 20 folks in the restaurant taxed them beyond their abilities.

The restaurant is really nice. The food is good and they have a great selection of drinks. This is certainly a place you would go for a nice evening out.

As a frequent diner of Mesquite Chop House, Germantown, we had not been in a while. I promise I will not wait a month again. We had one of the best steaks we have ever had at Mesquite. I would say not only there but many places in Memphis. We had a new server, Alyssa. Alyssa, was a delight to have take care of us and that she did. Mesquite never disappoints with the quality of the food or the service. Drew is a conscientious manager that wants to be sure his guest get what they expect. Steaks are expensive now and the experience at Mesquite makes the cost a bit more palatable.
You should make a trip to Germantown and dine with them.

The ambiance of the Mesquite Chop House was outstanding, but the menu left quite a bit to be desired. The steaks were good, but lacked flavor. The menu as a whole left quite a bit to be desired. Most sides were bland. Where are the rich sides such as truffle mac-​n-​cheese?!
Give it a try, but be prepared for a B– steakhouse experience.

Very underwhelmed.
Went for a business meal. Scotch was good, hard to screw that up. Bread was Costco. Butter was too weird looking to try. Lettuce wedge must have been whacked from a very small lettuce. Tasted OK, but pretty small. Steak was a little undercooked, but only OK. Pretty tough for a high end steak joint. Creamed spinach was all mush — all cream, little spinach. Choice of desserts was completely unimaginative — the best from Costco.
Good point, they had a clearance on some of their pricier wines, so we got a good bottle of wine at a reasonable price.
Service was good, but a bit disjointed.
Not good enough to justify the premium prices.

Have been here several times and have never had a problem with the service (problem mentioned in several prior posts). Nice feel to the place, and certainly a welcome outpost in Germantown, which doesn’t have many upscale dining experiences.
On to the food. Have had several different steaks here, and all were very good. I’ve never been particularly super impressed with the side items here, though. Again, we’ve never had an issue with service the three or four times we’ve been here. And, it’s been generally busy when we’ve arrived in the past.
Overall, you’re paying full-​on steakhouse prices for an experience that’s good to very good, not great. Don’t go there, at least at this point, expecting a similar experience to a Folk’s Folly, Capital Grille, etc., where the service, décor, etc. are more polished. In other words, I’d probably take an important client somewhere else, or celebrate that super-​special occasion somewhere else. As for being a great place to get a good meal with family or friends when you don’t want to venture too far from the reservation, I think this is a good, solid spot. Bar area is a nice place to eat on football weekends as well.

I hesitate to write reviews when I was part of a big group, but this was such a bad experience that I feel justified. I went to a meeting here, and there were probably about forty of us. We had a limited menu to choose from (as is typical at these kind of events), so usually things go pretty smoothly. There were SO many ways this evening went wrong it’s easier to just list them:
1. It took forever for anyone to take our drink orders
2. The staff was so disorganized that when they returned with drinks they had to stand behind everyone and say «Beer? Wine? Who ordered what here?»
3. Some people had to ask THREE times before they finally got their drinks.
4. Requests for (sweetener, drinks, bread) were made by multiple people multiple times. Each time the servers would say «OK, be right back with that,» but it would NEVER materialize
5. Salad course and main course service went the same way with servers just guessing who ordered what
6. I had asked for my dessert to go and they put ice cream with the cake in a styrofoam box. (I realized the ice cream was there once I got home and saw it had leaked out in the passenger seat of my RENTAL car!)
I have to say my steak was very good, and cooked perfectly, but that’s the only good thing I have to say about that night. From what I’ve heard, service for smaller parties isn’t much better here. If you’re not prepared for this kind of event, don’t host them!

My intent when providing reviews is never to bash or give a negative rating to a restaurant or venue. I prefer having pleasant experiences versus unpleasant ones. With that being said, my experience at this particular Mesquite Chop House was beyond terrible.
We came to celebrate Father’s Day with hopes of it being a memorable occasion. This was memorable but for all the wrong reasons. We had reservations for 12:30 for a party of 7 (which is not a big party) for brunch. There were only 3 other tables for brunch there of guests. The restaurant was practically empty yet it took 1 hour and 22 minutes for us to get our food. Honestly the brunch menu was very limited and didn’t have much of a selection. When the food arrived the orders were wrong, food was cold, egg omelets were overcooked, the pancakes were burnt on the bottom, and the breakfast potatoes tasted old. We had to reorder 2 of the 4 omelets and the second order was wrong again.
We complained to the manager about the service and the food and he offered to take off $ 30 of the total order however he ended up not taking it off when the order was split. The straw that broke the camel’s back was when I went to the restroom and saw roaches on the ceiling. I knew then that I had to say something to the management and post this review.
The silver lining in the cloud is that the Mesquite Chop House downtown on Union is very nice, had excellent service, and the food was incredible (see my review for that location). This location gives the Mesquite brand a bad scar and I will never return here.

A lot of guys at the office rave about the food here. There is a great bar, and in the Collierville/​Germantown no man down zone, that is a rare find.
The service is over the top friendly, although a bit slow on food delivery.
Started with the BBQ Fried Oysters, just ok. Then on to a wedge, again ok. But the Ribeye delivers. Great stuff. The creamed spinach surprised me, as in it was fresh.
Now the not fun news… The bride’s filet was terrible. Strange taste. Enough that you had to wonder if the meat was good or not. The management took care of the issue and again everything turned out ok.
The bottom line — the bar is 4 stars, servers are 5 stars, but the kitchen for me is 1 at best. I’ll give them another shot, but I expect a LOT better.
