Max Dales Steak Chop House - Mount Vernon (WA)

2 /5 Jake Goodwin: So my S.O. called this place as we were walking into the restaurant before we even ate there. Suggesting that it was on the level of an Outback. Youll be able to tell from the photos that our foot sat under the warmers for far to long. The steaks were poorly seasoned and because it sat for too long the doneness was overcooked. The brussel sprouts had no flavor and the sauce was just pool of oil at the bottom of the bowl. Similar for the waffle fries, all the blue cheese was at the bottom of the bowl. Service was sporadic and had many forgotten items that were requested more than once. If youre in the area and are looking for a steak house, skip this one.

4 /5 YS: Food was good and the right size, well cooked with fresh ingredients. Salad was awesomely fresh. Service and staff are good, however food came to table a little slow.

4 /5 Darnell Kebo: 05/03/2025: The two of us arrived around 5p on a Saturday. It was pretty quiet and only a small number of people in the dining room. Nice because it was so quiet. We ordered calamari, Ribeye and pork chop for dinner and a couple of cocktails. Cocktails were okay, tasty enough. Cant complain about the food overall, everything really good. Calamari was lightly battered and fried. Ribeye was a really decent size and cooked exactly how it was ordered (medium rare). Pork chop was a bit overdone however still a good dish. Service was friendly and attentive. Building is reminiscent of Stuart Andersons Black Angus. Think tall ceilings, lots of wood, high backed booths. Very nice.

3 /5 Sherry Petersen: This steak house used to serve really great food but not anymore. My husband and I received prime rib and New York steaks that were both tepid despite the fact that most tables were empty right after opening, meaning the place wasnt busy. The mashed potatoes had a synthetic smoke flavor and the asparagus was not just tender-crisp, it was crunchy. The waitress was pleasant and moderately attentive however, the man who seated us did not smile and was dressed in rumpled jeans and run-down shoes, looking very sloppy. The atmosphere is still wonderful, private tables, quiet, not cold but the decor is going to seed. So sad that a good place doesnt put some money back in to maintain appearance and invest in a quality chef.
