Chopping Block Steakhouse | Our Story

Our story begins in a small town

Our story begins in a small town

We're William and Sherri Rainey, and the Chopping Block has been family owned and operated for over 55 years. Pull up a chair in the cabin and we'll tell you how it came to be.
A butcher shop and deli

A butcher shop and deli

We started out as a butcher shop and deli, and over time we grew into a full service steakhouse and restaurant. The meat counter never went away, and you can still walk up and choose your own steak.
How we cook

How we cook

Our steaks are hand cut, and we've always ground our burgers fresh. The BBQ is smoked fresh daily in our own smokehouse, and the pasta dishes are made to order.
Something Sweet to Take Home

Something Sweet to Take Home

Save room for something sweet at Chopping Block. Our new dessert cabinet is filled with high-end desserts, from rich cheesecakes to classic pies. Enjoy any of our desserts by the piece, or take home a whole pie or cheesecake to share. Stop by the cabinet and choose your favorite.
The cabin and William's art

The cabin and William's art

The logs and beams are the real thing, and so is the art. William's landscape photographs hang on the walls all around the dining room.
In the heart of the Ouachitas

We sit at the base of Queen Wilhelmina State Park, at the doorway to the Little Missouri River and Cossatot River State Park. If you've been hiking, biking, kayaking or ATVing, come on in and eat.
Thank you

Thank you
