1830 Chophouse

What 1830 Chophouse does

1830 Chophouse is a single-location, full-service American steakhouse and chophouse operating in historic downtown Lebanon, Indiana, at 111 W Main St on the south side of the square. The business is structured as KD Chophouse LLC, a privately held Indiana LLC founded in 2019 with a staff of approximately 8, and it claims to be "Lebanon's oldest chophouse." The restaurant's core product is a premium American menu built around hand-cut steaks (USDA Prime cuts including Filet Mignon, Prime New York Strip, Tomahawk Ribeye, Certified Angus Ribeye), fresh seafood (Faroe Island Salmon, Lobster Thermidor, Surf & Turf, Gulf shrimp), Berkshire Pork Chop, pasta, sandwiches, salads, scratch-made sides, and house-made desserts, with entrée pricing ranging from roughly $6 for sides up to $115 for Tomahawk Ribeye.

Revenue is generated through four primary streams: dine-in service, takeout and delivery, gift card sales, and a private events business. The private events infrastructure consists of two on-site venues — Peter Tripp's Lounge (capacity 30 with built-in bar, fireplace, and 55-inch TV) and William Tripps Banquet Hall (capacity 60 with sound system and projector) — targeted at corporate gatherings, team-building, and celebrations. Off-site catering is delivered through a referral partnership with Unforgettable Catering rather than built in-house.

The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer across physical dine-in, the company website (owner.com platform), a mobile app (OrderSave), gift cards (Square), and reservations (TablesReady), with delivery reaching Lebanon plus 20+ surrounding Boone County communities. The technology stack is entirely third-party — no proprietary systems, no API, and no AI/ML components are present. Marketing relies on local SEO across area- and menu-specific pages, third-party delivery aggregator listings, and an email newsletter sign-up. Customer mix is heavily skewed toward individual diners and families with a secondary private-event segment; no enterprise contracts, repeat corporate logos, or institutional customers are disclosed, and revenue figures are not publicly reported.
