A sample check for two
Menus tell you what each dish costs. They do not tell you what dinner costs, which is the number people actually want. Below is a realistic two-person dinner at Mercury Chophouse – Arlington built from current menu prices: a shared starter, a steak each, a side to share, one dessert and a cocktail each.
| Line | Item | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Starter, shared | Filet Mignon Cigars | $17 |
| Entrée | Center-Cut Filet Mignon, 8 oz | $74 |
| Entrée | Hand-Cut Ribeye | $75 |
| Side, shared | Whipped Potatoes | $14 |
| Dessert, shared | Crème Brûlée | $15 |
| Drinks | Two Steakhouse Old-Fashioneds at $19 | $38 |
| Total before tax and gratuity | $233 |
That works out to about $117 per person. Sales tax and a tip are on top. For a party of two the tip is yours to decide; for six or more, 20% is added automatically.
Prices are from the July 2026 dinner menu and can change; the menu on the website is the current word.
How the same dinner moves up or down
Swap a few lines and the check moves a long way in either direction. A lighter version keeps the starter and dessert but chooses the 6 oz filet and the salmon and skips the cocktails. A splurge version opens with the signature ravioli and pairs a bone-in ribeye with the dry-aged porterhouse dressed Oscar style.
| Version | What changes | Total for two | Per person |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lighter | Chophouse Calamari $17, 6 oz filet $62, Cedar Plank Salmon $48, Hand-Cut Fries $11, Key Lime Pie $16, no alcohol | $154 | About $77 |
| Typical | The sample check above | $233 | About $117 |
| Splurge | Wagyu & Black Truffle Ravioli $34, Bone-In Ribeye $90, Dry-Aged 36 oz Porterhouse $175 with Oscar lobster $20, Brussels Sprouts $17, Chocolate Torte $15, two MCA Smoked Manhattans $36 | $387 | About $194 |
A fair working range for dinner is $75 to $200 per person before tax and gratuity, with a cocktail each and a mid-priced steak putting you near $115.
What adds to the bill
Four things move a check that people forget to count. A 20% gratuity is added to parties of six or more. A $25 split-plate fee applies when a composed entrée is shared across two plates. Enhancements add up quickly: a Gorgonzola crown is $14, truffle butter $8, a jumbo lump crab cake on your steak $12 and grilled Gulf shrimp $23. And wine by the bottle runs from $77 to $686, so a bottle can cost as much as the food.
Sauces are the inexpensive upgrade: $4 each for rye whiskey cream, demi-glace, Béarnaise or chimichurri, or $9 for a flight of three. The toppers page lists every enhancement.
Dessert and coffee are modest by comparison: desserts run $15 to $17, coffee is $4, an espresso $5, and the coffee libations such as the Classic Irish are $16.
Lunch costs a good deal less
The same kitchen serves lunch on weekdays from 11 AM at prices that sit well below dinner. Steaks are the clearest example.
| Item | Lunch price | Dinner price |
|---|---|---|
| Center-Cut Filet Mignon, 6 oz | $54 | $62 |
| Hand-Cut Ribeye | $67 | $75 |
| Bone-In Ribeye | $82 | $90 |
| Chophouse Burger with fries, salad or soup | $17 | Lunch only |
| Chicken Fried Steak | $24 | Lunch only |
| Blackened Fresh Catch Tacos | $17 | Lunch only |
Two people can have a burger and the chicken fried steak for $41 in food before tax. The lunch page has the full menu and hours.
What the price buys
Part of a steakhouse check pays for the steak and part pays for everything around it. At Mercury that means a table on the ninth floor of the Brookhollow Two tower with the Entertainment District below the windows, white linen, leather chairs, warm bread with garlic butter, a grand piano by the windows on select evenings, and whiskey poured in honest 2 oz servings. Those are the things a $17 burger at lunch and a $210 Wagyu Long Bone Ribeye at dinner have in common.
Location is part of it as well. The tower sits about a mile from Globe Life Field and 1.5 miles from AT&T Stadium, with free garage and outdoor parking at the tower, and the room is nine floors above the district’s noise.
Keeping the check where you want it
Order the 6 oz filet at $62 instead of the 8 oz at $74 if you do not need the extra two ounces. Share sides; every side on the menu is portioned to share, and whipped potatoes are $14. Pick one starter for the table, but read the Land and Sea sampler carefully, since its $26 is per person. Draft beer at $7 to $8 costs less than half a cocktail. Split a dessert. And skip the Oscar toppings unless you want them; the steak stands on its own. Prices for the whole menu are on the menu, and the short answer on cost gives the range in a paragraph.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a steak cost at Mercury Chophouse?
Steaks and chops run from $59 for the double-bone pork chop to $210 for the 27 oz Wagyu Long Bone Ribeye. In between: center-cut filet mignon at $62 for 6 oz or $74 for 8 oz, hand-cut ribeye $75, bone-in ribeye $90, 8 oz Wagyu filet $105 and the dry-aged 36 oz porterhouse $175.
Does Mercury Chophouse add gratuity automatically?
Only for parties of six or more, where 20% is added to the check. For smaller tables the tip is at your discretion. Groups of 12 or more in the dining room, and any group in the Boardroom, also receive a single check rather than split checks.
What is the $25 split-plate fee?
When two guests share one composed entrée and ask for it on two plates, $25 is added to the check. Ordering an extra side or a starter instead of splitting an entrée avoids it. If you plan to share a large cut such as the porterhouse, ask your server how the fee applies.
How much are drinks at Mercury Chophouse?
House cocktails run $16 to $20, draft beer $7 to $8, and bottled beer $6 to $14. Whiskey is poured in 2 oz servings starting at $14 for Buffalo Trace. Wine is sold by the glass and by the bottle, with bottles from $77 to $686 for Opus One 2022.
Is there a less expensive way to eat at Mercury Chophouse?
Weekday lunch, served Monday through Friday from 11 AM. The Chophouse Burger is $17 with fries, a small salad or soup, the club sandwich is $14, and steaks are priced below dinner: the 6 oz filet is $54 at lunch against $62 at dinner, and the hand-cut ribeye $67 against $75.
Do steaks come with sides, or is everything à la carte?
Steaks are served with their listed butter or sauce, and sides are ordered separately and portioned to share, from $11 hand-cut fries to $18 grilled asparagus. Some entrées are composed plates with sides included, such as the elk, the short rib, the salmon and the sea bass. Warm bread with garlic butter comes to the table.
