George's Chophouse

The most fabulous meal I've ever had! The steak was so tender and flavorful! Service was excellent! Highly recommend this place!

I'm not sure where to start... George's was an absolute disappointment. I came here for my birthday because they had an open table at the time we were available. We were seated at a small two top which I requested a booth (for the occasion) but was given the impression that wasn't how they sat a party of two. At the end of our meal they sat two folks at a booth; I digress. The food was good but not great. I ordered a NY strip as it was on the top of the menu and I was told by the server "we're known for our steaks". I could have picked a similar cut from Safeway. I reordered a filet after fighting, to no avail, with the gristle vein. Mixed drinks were above average, cake was dry. This place struggles on my scale. It gets a 3 for the things I didn't mention; fresh oysters, appetizers, and they actually cooked to rare as ordered.

I have to say that this place was absolutely fantastic on both occasions I've been here. The food is inventive, delicious, fresh and high quality. The service is quick, attentive (I literally had my drink refilled 6x during lunch) and the staff was dressed in cool outfits (but not a traditional uniform). The bar looked very cool and I like that they have a happy hour. The tuna was great, the venison fresh and delicious, and the Mac n cheese decadent. But I gotta say that the steak was top notch and the mushrooms we're absolutely amazing. I've had the filet and the ribeye. I'm a local and I will return. I will have all my lunch meetings here. I can't say enough good things. Missing out on this place would be a mistake. Much better than Morton's or Ruth Chris and better priced. I will definitely check out the happy hour.

I've been to George's Chop House several times and each time I am never disappointed. The food and service is great. My favorite is the Burger and the brussel sprouts

Let me preface this review by saying that I absolutely hate going to Bethesda. I avoid Bethesda as much as possible. However, I was eager to go to George's Chophouse to see what all the buzz was about.

I have had many steaks in my life, and I can't think of a time when I had one as succulent and delicious as this. The food was perfectly seasoned and the state came out hot, even though it was a busy night. My parents went there the other night and told me they had an incredible experience, too.

Unlike other steakhouses with more recognizable names, the restaurant is appropriately lighted, the flavor and preparation of the food is better, and you absolutely feel like the price you paid was fair for your entire experience by the time you leave the restaurant.

The look and feel of the restaurant, also, is very clean, welcoming, yet professional. Having gone to another one of Chef Al's restaurants, I wouldn't expect anything less.

Thank you for an amazing dining experience. You make going to Bethesda worth it.
