Editorial Review for Border Chophouse & Bar – by Carter Trumbo
The Scene
Step into a dark masculine-looking bar with food just as good as the beer selection. The Tex-Mex theme carries over from the framed Indian prints and western bar memorabilia to the chalupas, armadillo eggs and huevos rancheros. The atmosphere is laid-back but boisterous; work boots work better here than wingtips. Expect friendly service, but sometimes gentle prodding is necessary to get details just right.
The Food
Despite the informal setting, steaks get star treatment here. Five different versions ranging from a sophisticated steak au poivre to a 22-oz porterhouse are all cooked exactly to specifications. A choice of four homemade sauces (bżarnaise, portabello mushroom, bleu cheese/walnut pesto, house sauce with onions) and four different potato sides (mashed, baked, German potato salad or fries) set the show for serious steak eaters. The border chicken fried steak with cream gravy is a comfy country classic.

Sweet potato fries do i need to say more. I love this bar, its a staple to my going out night life. It's like cheer's everybody knows your name. I love the atmosphere the service is prompt. You can always carry on a conversation it's never to loud, and they pull out the big TV for football. With this bar you can't go wrong. The night bartenders are totally hot, for such a small quaint bar. I guess everyone loves this place, the employees and the patrons
Pros: very chill environment
Cons: not enough flavor vodka

This Fan restaurant is a good value. The salmon special I had was delicious. Also, love to go for the black bean cakes served with sweet potato fries.
Pros: Food
