Food Vlog 1: Chophouse 101

We are eating at Chophouse 101 located at 101 West Ave Kannapolis, NC 28081.

I’ve never done a restaurant/food review. I guess I need some sort of scale. Bear in mind I hadn’t developed my rating scale until after the video. That was spur of the moment.

Sub Par: Below Average

Par: Acceptable, but has to be good. This is a positive rating.

Excellent: It exceeded my expectations

Our server was German. I don’t mean in decent. His name was German. No, I don’t mean “Germanic”. Damnit, it’s his name! His name is German. German was an excellent server. German was attentive and answered any questions with detail. All courses were delivered timely. No glass, wine nor water, was ever empty until dinner was over. If you are able to request him, I would.

Server Grade: Excellent

The bread appeared to be of frozen variety. It was soft and sweet. I prefer my bread to be less sweet and have a crunch. The butter that was paired with it was also sweet, with a cinnamon flavor. I would have preferred regular butter. This may as well have been dessert.

Bread Rating: Sub Par

The wine was EOS Cabernet Sauvignon. I’ll be honest…It was the cheapest bottle of cab on the menu. We rolled the dice. We won! It was way better than we expected! If you like red wines, take a chance!

Wine Rating: Excellent

We ordered the Stuffed Potato Skins as an appetizer. They are baked potato halves filled with crumbled bacon, shredded cheeses and served with sour cream and green onion. You can request ranch dressing as well. We did.

Stuffed Potato Skins Rating: Par

Since we already had a starch on the table as our appetizer, we ordered the house salad and broccoli as our sides. We would’ve had asparagus, but the restaurant was out. I had the house dressing which is basically Thousand Island. She had the Ranch.

Salad Rating: Par

Vegetable Rating: Par

For our entree we shared a 12 ounce Ribeye. It might be the best steak I’ve ever had! It’s the reason I wanted to write about this place. It was medium rare from coast to coast. There wasn’t a color variation inside of it. The steak was cooked to perfection. You should really try one of these if you haven’t.

Entree: Excellent

The atmosphere was calming, the service was excellent, the overall meal was exceptional and the entire experience was great.

I highly recommend Chophouse 101
