RARE Chop House 224 South 10th Street, Mount Vernon, IL 62864

"I was quite surprised that lamb medallions were bland but I will say the turtle brownie dessert was top three best desserts I've ever had in my life and the brownie itself was probably the best I've ever had. The waiter was amazing. I'm definitely going to make this a 3 to 4 times a month stop to run through the menu."

"Ordered a burger which was very tasty but the visual appearance of the bun was not nice. For a 24$ burger the bun should look better. The entire plate looked sad. If this would be a lunch special I would not complain but this was a dinner. They can improve the visual appearance of the main dish. The service was great just got disappointed with this wrinkled bun on my burger."

"The place looked fairly iffy from the outside, but once you went in, it was very nice. I sat at the bar and had good service. I had the calamari as an app, and it came out nice and crispy with a good dipping sauce. My main meal was a ribeye with Mac and Cheese. The steak was cooked perfectly, a little underseasoned, in my opinion, but still very tasty. The Mac and cheese made me want to order a bucket full to go. If I'm ever back in that area again, I would definitely stop by and try it again. I could overhear some locals talking about how amazing the chicken was."

"Took my wife there for our anniversary. Our shrimp, steak and porkchop were done perfectly and very well presented."

"Food was excellent and so was the service. The waitress gave great recommendations and was attentive. The Caesar salad was the best we've ever had. Both of our dinners were delicious. We got the pork chop and the special was chicken. Based on how good our food was we bet the steaks are amazing. Nice atmosphere and good drinks list. We were just traveling through but would recommend for any special occasion."
