Located downtown in the Detroit suburb of Rochester, Rochester Chop House features first-class steaks, chops and seafood in an inviting, two-level structure that includes an expansive oyster bar and regular live piano music. The winning menu and service showcase the professional qualities of founders and restaurateurs Bill Kruse and the late Chuck Muer (of the local Kruse & Muer Restaurants), and either Kruse or co-proprietor Vince Clark routinely greets diners at the door. The featured cut of beef is the classic sirloin, and the house-made coleslaw and broiled hash browns with blue cheese are great sides. Full bar with well-chosen wine list. Serving lunch Mon–Fri, dinner nightly. Voted Best Local Steakhouse (tie) in the 2009 Hour Detroit readers' poll.
