45 Best Steakhouses in Chicago

“Top notch service, drinks were phenomenal, and the food simply EXCEPTIONAL. Thank you for the VIP treatment on my Anniversary! You peeps are amazing!“

“Great food and exceptional service“

“We started with the potato and caviar croquettes, which were flawless. The breading was light and crisp, giving way to a rich, creamy filling. The caviar added a beautiful pop of flavor with its subtle nuttiness, perfectly balanced and truly memorable.

The super green salad exceeded expectations. I’m not usually a fan of kale, but this was exceptional. Crisp asparagus stems, broccoli, and pistachios added layers of texture, while the shaved Parmesan and a hint of chili flakes tied everything together beautifully.

For the main, we shared the 32-ounce, 45-day dry-aged porterhouse, cooked medium rare. It was exceptional, deeply flavorful, incredibly tender, and needed no sauce at all (though four were provided). The dry aging lent a nuanced complexity that reminded me of jamón ibérico, with a delicate nuttiness and subtle wine-like depth.

Service was warm and attentive, and the outdoor seating made for a lovely, relaxed evening.

An outstanding experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend this place.“

“Great food, amazing ambiance and incredible staff. One of the nicest Chicago steakhouses I’ve been to. Highly recommend.“

“Incredible food and service.“

“good to sit and foods also good“

“We celebrated our 30th Anniversary here and it did not disappoint! Lobster cargot could’ve been a meal by itself!! The filet mignon was cooked perfectly. Teriyaki green beans were also a favorite of ours along with the Mac n cheese. You have w to get dessert! We had the chocolate ganache cake and strawberry sundae. Jeff our server was amazing ! The view couldn’t have been better.“

“This place is hands down the best restaurant in the city. The food is unreal good I mean like go out for milk and never come back good. The head partner chef Joe Rizza is a Jedi in the kitchen and an absolute class act. He always makes time to come say hi when we stop in. Main reason why I like going. Besides the fact that the prices r normal but the food is anything but. #amazing love the location love the vibe u have to go“

“This place is a gem!! Would highly recommend to any of my friends and will definitely be going back. Amazing food and service. Relaxing, beautiful atmosphere outside on the deck. I’ve lived in Chicago, NYC, and LA and this is one of my favorite places.“

“John provided us with exceptional service and a night we’ll never forget. We celebrated our 40th Anniversary and the food, drinks and service were on point!“

“This was one of the best dining experiences I have had. The food was impeccable. I highly recommend adding on a wine pairing to the experience. Service was unparalleled. If you are looking to splurge and love steak, you need to come here. Worth driving from WI to come here for sure!“

“This place is so cute. The ambiance is chill and sexy for a date or cool to have a girl's night out like I did. Even the neighborhood was really cute. The drinks were very delicious and refreshing. We ordered the shareable ribeye, mashed potatoes, broccolini and mac n cheese. Everything was great! Our server was amazing and just attentive enough without over checking on us. He was very good. If you have the opportunity to try this restaurant, please go!“

“We visited this place on a whim on Sweetest Day. We had to pivot from our original plan, called at the last minute and was able to take the 9:15p slot. We had to wait for our table so we ordered drinks at the bar. My mule was good and my date enjoyed her wine. For my entree, I ordered the Roasted chicken served of spinach and mash potatoes. The chicken could have used more seasoning, but overall it was good. My dates entree was the Spicy Chicken sandwich, she said it was good, but it really wasn’t spicy. The sides dishes we ordered are Creamed Spinach and Mac & cheese. We disliked both dishes. The Mac & Cheese needs way more cheese. I received complimentary dessert because we were there celebrating my birthday too. The carrot cake was ??? and the vanilla bean ice cream was good too.“

“Bartenders are some of the best in Chicago“

“Beautiful Birthday dinner here in one of the cabanas. Liked the privacy and obscuridad the cabanas and low lights gave. Flavors of soup , scallops, and rib eye were great. Definitely recommend for a date night or girls night 😍“

“My good friend Lisa took me there and it tasted great! Service is also great“

“Where do I start… service 100 percent professional and helpful, knowledgeable about wine pairings, food was the best from start to finish. Me and my wife go to a steakhouse in every city we visit and let me tell you it’s hard to nail all aspects of dining,apps, mains, dessert, and wine, but RPM blew me away! This is my #1 steakhouse I have visited in the world…I have been to 30 plus states, 15 countries and nothing has come close to this experience.“

“You know a restaurant is good when you start planning your return visit before you've even finished your meal“

“I absolutely loved this place. Service was excellent and food was even better. I came here on the recommendation of a friend and this will be my go to place every time I’m back in town. Love the vibe here also.“

“We ate lunch at Michael Jordan’s Steak House in Chicago today. We were greeted with a warm welcome and the hostess helped us with our parking situation. Our server was friendly and quick. Our food was delicious! After our meal the valet parking department went out of their way to help us and we were so appreciative. We will definitely be back and we highly recommend eating here!“

“The food was amazing and the atmosphere briliand. I felt that I was for vacations in a picturesque Greek island, almost felt the fresh air of it. Great experience. Can't wait to go back“

“This is one of my favorite new spots in Chicago! If you haven’t tried their Sunday Roast you are missing out! The flavors are out of this world amazing! The atmosphere is so inviting a beautiful and don’t skip their tasty cocktails! My husband and I loved everything about this location and we appreciate the fantastic service and hospitality by Rachel and the manager Kyle! Would 100% recommend for any Chicago foodies looking for the new Chicago hot spot, delicious food, and unironically an tasty cocktails! 🍽️😋“

“This was my first time here celebrating my girlfriend birthday. Chris and David made it a great experience. Service was awesome and they made sure we had everything we needed from drinks,, appetizers, , entrees and dessert. The food was so good and it was a fun night . Definitely coming back.“

“The food, the service and the atmosphere is excellent. Give it visit.“

“We love this neighborhood spot. Service was great. The food was outstanding!! We started with the delicious burratta and then my husband had strip steak and I had the kale salad with salmon. Definitely enough food—-but, of course, we got the brussels sprouts too. Worth it!!“

“I went here to celebrate a birthday. Everything from the food, service, and ambience was amazing. I made sure to put birthday as the reason for visit and BLVD was very attentive and made it special! As someone who dines out often, BLVD has earned a return from me. Not having to choose between good food or an aesthetically pleasing setting makes the place very unique.“

“I've been wanting to check out this restaurant for ages. I finally made the decision to go for my birthday to see what all the fuss is about. And let me tell you, the fuss is totally justified. The service is top-notch. The staff really go the extra mile. Our server Claire was fantastic; she made sure to ask if I liked my food and if not, she suggested something else that turned out to be amazing. She really knew her stuff when it came to the menu. Plus, she was super friendly and inviting. Just awesome. The food was delicious too. I had the Ribeye, and it was so juicy—definitely one of the best steaks I've ever had. This place is a little on the expensive side, but it's definitely worth treating yourself every once in a while. The ambiance was great as well.“

“Chop House really impressed us. Excellent Steaks (prime rib, Ribeye, Mac & cheese). It was our first time visiting from Arizona & wanted to try something local. Chop house exceeded our expectations, all personnel went above & beyond with service & explaining menu options. Our waitress was awesome my kids loved how nice she was. (Forgot her name :( Carlos was also really nice & kind to us. I definitely recommend.“

“I've eaten at a lot of Capital Grille's across the US, last night in Chicago was the BEST server I've encountered. Her name was Olivia, and from the moment of our arrival she was engaging and attentive - highly professional and just very charming. On our way out I mentioned this to the restaurant's operation manager Adam Margolies, who himself was hustling around all night in the front of the house taking care of guests . Bravo guys, well done! Now just start carrying Monkey 47 gin to elevate your martinis to perfect. Thanks - great experience!“

“Great food and first class service. The steak was a religious experience! It was so uniquely tasty and prepared perfectly. Our server was well versed in the menu and was able to make excellent recommendations. We also appreciated the fact that the service was at a nice pace, that never felt like we're being rushed to finish.“

“Dan was an awesome waiter. His spontaneity and attentiveness made us feel very welcome. The vibe on Monday night was nice and quiet for us. We came here two years ago for the first time, and the place was as good as we remembered. Will definitely be back the next time we are in Chicago. Thanks, Dan?“

“Absolutely love this place! The design and atmosphere are stunning- stylish, cozy, and perfect for any occasion. The food is always delicious, with great attention to quality. And to top it all off, the service is consistently excellent- friendly, attentive, and professional. This has become one of our go-to spots, and we always leave happy. Highly recommend!“

“A GREAT Chicago Steak House! One of THEE BEST!“

“Our Family has been going there for over 40 years. The Best Food & Customer Service. Thank you, The Alvarado Family“

“My friends and I had an amazing experience . The steak was delicious and the service was the best I ever had . If you go there and you want incredible service ask for “J”. Wow her attention and knowledge was a 10/10.“

“Ware Ranch Steakhouse:Great Chicago Southside staple, a neighborhood place that has fine food and fantastic service in a very inviting and clean atmosphere. Nice place for family & friends to break bread 🍞 ⭐⭐⭐“

“Delicious food A friendly and capable staff.“

“I had lunch at this restaurant ?. The food was fresh, the restaurant was clean, the owner or cook was very polite and delivered fast service! I would definitely recommend a quick bite here with tasty food! Upon my next visit, I will definitely return!“

“Dinner last night was incredible!! We were fortunate to experience the expertise of bar manager Francisco. We talked steak cuts, wine pairings, side dish recommendations, Chicago in general, differences in Mezcal vs tequila and a pretty incredible espresso martini! Wish I had taken food pictures, but it was being in the moment with an amazing epicurean experience!!“

“Absolutely romantic atmosphere and one of the best rib eye steaks I’ve ever had. The Blood of the Unicorn IPA was excellent also. Highly recommended.“

“An old-style elegance permeates the place. From the moment we walked in, they treated us like we were the only customers in the place. The 10 oz. fillet steak was the best I’ve had in a long time. If you’re a native Chicago resident, you need to ask yourself why you don’t eat here more often.“

“great food..lovely staff..I enjoyed every single item I ordered“

“The manager Jason was very attentive and provided excellent service for our party. Steak was delicious and tender and side portions were shareable. Great place to dine if going to a show afterwards as it is situated across the street from the theatre where we watched Anastasia. Thank you Jason and your staff for a memorable meal!“
