The 1872 Chophouse

Update: After seeing it on our first trip, I regretted not getting the catfish. So on our second visit I did not hesitate to order the catfish. I am so glad that I did. It was just wonderful. Tender in the inside, crispy on the outside and did not have that bottom of the lake taste. So good, but the unexpected surprise was just how good their potato salad is. I have no doubt it is made homemade as well; and made my mouth so happy. My husband was actually laughing at how much I enjoyed it, because I was so excited about the catfish, but could not stop talking about the potato salad. Their hush puppies and fried okra are also homemade and very tasty. I ended up devouring the catfish and the potato salad. So good, I highly recommend. This is a wonderful place for good southern cooking. Lots of room and a tad on the rustic side. The staff was wonderful and we got excellent table service. I got a BLT which was good, but after seeing the fried fish I will be trying that next. My husband got a cheeseburger and fries and was very happy with his meal. My daughter got the chicken tenders and jalapeno poppers. Even though the tenders are not homemade she was very happy with them. She said they were good. The poppers were not wrapped in bacon which is how she likes them. I had one and they were the perfect amount of heat. I spent a good part of my time people-watching and enjoyed the interactions between the patrons. You could tell the locals really love this place for both the food and visiting with friends. We will be back.

Food was excellent, brought the grandkids & other family, everyone had a different dish & everyone was superbly happy with their meals and the service.

The waitress was awesome!!! I went with my daughter in law Cristin and our friend Harlen. Excellent food!!!

They were short staffed today. Did that hold them back? No! I loved to see the team work. The cooks were bringing out orders getting drinks. And the food didn't lack anything. The place didn't have an empty seat.

Great breakfast and the service was outstanding. Fast and friendly. We had an Allen’s breakfast.
