Metro Detroit meat-lovers have been flocking to this beloved steakhouse for more than 75 years. Just how did Carl's Chop House come to be so revered over the years? Perhaps consistency. Throughout its history, Carl's has presented a straightforward menu with classic favorites like prime rib (they serve more than 16,000 cuts of prime rib a year!), pork chops and applesauce and a prime steer porterhouse steak for two (do not attempt this one on your own). The quality has also remained consistent, with fresh cuts of meat and seafood arriving daily. And even though it's an "old-time" restaurant, don't assume the place is devoid of modern flair. Every Friday and Saturday night, diners are treated to live jazz music, and on Sundays, Carl's hosts a grand brunch. For those headed out after dinner, there's a free shuttle to and from the major downtown games and theater events. No, you can't expect any neon or overly-flowery food arrangements here, but you can certainly rely on a classic, quality meal.

Pathetic

First the waiter told us everything they didn't have. Then I ordered a salad and he told me " We have really cut back on the menu.......we dont have that either." And as I looked around at the 2 other tables that had customers.......the place was dirty......2 liter bottles half full on the bar. The parking lot was empty and full of weeds growing all around. Poor Poor Place......................Never will go back...............

TO WHOEVER WROTE THIS:

Rat and mice infested scum-holeBy Iluvneildiamond8 on 06/11/2008
I used to waitress at Carl's, and the place is disgusting. There are mice running all over the area in the kitchen where they make salads and prep food, and HUGE rats in the basement., which is off the kitchen with no door. I had to go down there to bring up a case of beer to the bar and a rat ran across my foot. The owner Frank likes to threaten his staff by telling him they better watch out because he has "Mafia connections". Yeah, right! If he really did, do you think he would be stupid enough to tell people about it? Nothing but a king-pin wanna-be. I wonder if Sophie still works there... he and George the cook liked to take her upstairs and have their way with her, complete with Polaroids. A real class-act, that Carl's.

I'll find out who you are. **** you. Learn to keep your mouth shut.

Carl's Chop House used to be the best steakhouse in Detroit. However recently, the quality of service and sides has diminished significantly. I have been frequenting Carl's since I was a child (I'm now 48) and will no longer be a customer. There are much better steakhouse venues in the Detroit area for the money.

I used to love this place but it has seen better days. I have been several times in the last year and there was maybe two other tables sat while I was there in prime time. The food was good but I just can't see it making it much longer. I heard they applied for a license to make it a strip bar soon.
