Griffin Chophouse - Lexington

The only thing I have to say is at least the food is awesome…. I'm going to have to say the service is extremely slow; being seated, taking orders, delivery of food ALL of it was slow. My wife and I have been there 3 times for the Tomahawk steak for two, and we like it a lot. So much so that we've even had 8 or our family and friends join us one of the times. And even though I know it takes like a half hour for it to cook, most recently we got ours after nearly an hour.(Not) Funny thing too, my order was for med rare (more on the rare), and my brother's was medium… but theirs came more like rare, and mine almost medium well. For an $84 or $86 steak, you'd hope that they get it right… but after the long wait we were just too tired and hungry to argue, so we just left it alone.On Veteran's day, we chose to come here over the many other places that appreciated veterans with a free or nearly free meal because we had a better prior experience… but as it would turn out, this was a huge mistake. Because although we did get 20% off two of the 4 meals, since there was a service fee for the larger party of 20 something percent, it really only put a dent in the added up charge.My advice to anyone is, it's OK to try *once*… and then never come back. And only on a day you're willing to give take it super slow and don't mind being taken through the ringer for lousy service. Honestly, though, I felt the poor service was attributed to the wait staff's personal prejudices as I did notice they gave certain people better attention than others.

Totally burn wings, cooked in burnt cooking oil. Too nasty to eat. I did not have time to return to the restaurant to complain. 1/26/24 7:15 pm. Richard Cates, RN. Don't recommend this place.

There was 3 of us and as we waited for our to be seated we noticed 3-4 tables open but no one was called to be seated. It appears the receptionist has problems talking on the phone and seating people. Then she started seating people out of order. The decor is nice and the menu looks good. The wait from the time we ordered our food to receiving it was ridiculous! We waited over 40 minutes. I thought my order would be easy not to difficult for a steak and barbecue place a brisket sandwich with beans. The bun was burned so bad the black char ran from the side to the top and the beans were cold and greasy. Needless to say we won’t eat there again and now I know why they are rated as they are!!!

We had wonderful steaks here tonight. The strip and ribeye were cooked perfectly, seasoned nicely and very tender. The side dish of Brussels sprouts was delicious. Salmon was delicious as well. Service was good. I would go there again.

Have eaten here many times for both lunch and dinner. The food has always been adequate, nothing special but acceptable. Last night two of us stopped in for dinner. We each had a filet and a couple glasses of wine. The bill was $126.00 which I thought was a bit high but not outrageous . What was outrageous was that they charged me 3.5% for using a credit card. There is no notice of this on their menu or website. Credit card processing fee is one of the cost of owning a business. Why not tack on a few dollars for the electric bill or the water bill. I will eat elsewhere.
