22 Best Steakhouses near Evanston

“We visited this amazing establishment last night and ordered the filet and the Manhattan strip for our entrées with a side of the mushrooms, and it was possibly one of the best steaks we had had. Our server and Jesse was wonderful, and when he wasn’t available home, there was another manager who came and brought items out, so there was no delay in service while he was attending another customer and socialized at the table. We dined outside on the patio underneath the heat lamp and lights. The Barn was the perfect atmosphere for our relaxing evening together. We were very pleased with all that we ordered as well as the service. We would highly recommend the Barn restaurant to others.“

“Amazing place! We got there a little earlier than our reservation and the they were able to accommodate us seat us right away. We had Angela as our server and it was one of the best services we've received. She was knowledgeable and attentive. Food didn't take too long to get to the table. Ambiance was great! Steak was the most important one obviously and it was cooked to perfection. We had the ribeye and the fillet. The Brussels sprouts were THE best I've ever had. Drinks were good with unique cocktail options. I had a small complaint about the oysters and they more than made up for it. We tried a few desserts. Panacotta was my favorite. We will be back.“

“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 😍“

“Best Place on earth! Service is impecable and the food is off the charts. Wine selection is vast with many offerings.“

“Alway a great dining experience. One of my all time favorites !!“

“On a cold Chicago night, Mason made our family gathering special and the food was amazing!“

“Found a new gem in the neighborhood and had an excellent dine-in experience. This restaurant is a great choice if you’re looking for quality steaks, seafood, and a refined atmosphere.

We started with the lobster bisque, which was rich, creamy, and full of flavor, one of the best I’ve had. My husband ordered the bone-in ribeye, cooked perfectly and very flavorful. They also offer a strong wine selection, which paired well with our meal. To finish, we had their homemade tiramisu, and it was outstanding, light, fresh, and not overly sweet.

Service was attentive without being rushed, and the atmosphere felt upscale yet comfortable, making it ideal for a date night or special occasion. Donald, our server was excellent. A big plus is that they also offer valet parking, which made the evening even more convenient.

If you’re searching for a great steakhouse with seafood options and excellent service, this place is absolutely worth visiting. We’ll definitely be coming back.“

“We had an enjoyable dinner celebrating my birthday. Great food, good drinks, exceptional service…“

“In a town known for great steak restaurants, EJs, is my favorite. Their steaks and seafood are outstanding, their sides and desserts wonderful, and their wine list never disappoints. Throw in a cozy atmosphere with wood paneling and the smell of the fireplace. The best part is the service. From the moment you arrive until you get back in your vehicle their service is unmatched with a staff of professionals who have been there for years. I highly recommend EJs and look forward to our next visit!“

“Love Tavern on Rush! I've been a few times for dinner and happy hour but last night was our first Ladies Night (and will definitely not be our last). We were seated upstairs and Mark was very kind and attentive. We told him we made a reservation but wanted to participate in Ladies Night. He kindly closed us out and told us to head downstairs. We were greeted with complimentary champagne, a DJ playing great music, and an overall fun ambiance! Our server was great and the food was even better! My friend ended up winning the 1st place prize of a pair of Louboutins!! We will definitely be coming back!“

“Very Delicious and Tasty 😋“

“We had a wonderful dinner here. Our server was very attentive and made some excellent suggestions for our meal. The food was well worth the price, we were happy with every dish we ordered. The mashed potatoes were a must-have; cooked with bone marrow, the dish was so rich and buttery. The drinks were great too! We'll definitely be eating here again.“

“Fortunate to snag a week one reservation at the Barn’s additional location in Amy Morton’s home turf Highland Park. There were a few minor week one issues not worth detailing and most importantly, both our server (Sharolanna?) and Morton were fully engaged in learning and adjust mode.

We started with a little gem salad - I think a different lettuce was used - that was a solid intro including bacon and anchovies. They offered to pre plate it into two portions. We also went for the generously-sized shrimp cocktail, the sauce for that was very tasty but didn’t completely overwhelm.

As mains we had a crab cake and a flat iron steak, with a side of mushrooms. We really wanted to order all the sides, they all sound delicious. The couple at the next table remarked that the mac&cheese side is fantastic. The crab cake was perfect as was the steak. I ordered medium rare and it had a lovely outside char and red center as expected. Bernaise sauce paired well as did the mushrooms, which were flavorful and simple.

The room is a little loud but that may also have been a function of the particular table. It is steakhouse sexy with exposed brick and wood paneling, including the ceiling. The bar includes a framed counter facing into the room, so it feels like there’s a bit of a scene in a good way going on there. And like the Evanston location, the bar design itself is rich and striking. We can’t wait to go in on a weeknight and grab happy hour $1 oysters along with a burger or Monday special prime rib sandwich.

A very welcome addition to Highland Park.“

“I had a great experience at this restaurant! The Iranian food was delicious — the koobideh was juicy and flavorful, and the shawarma was perfectly seasoned. Everything tasted fresh and authentic. Definitely recommend it if you’re craving quality Middle Eastern and Persian dishes!“

“I have no idea why anyone would give this place one star. We went this afternoon for lunch and the food was delicious. We had the Branzino which was tasty and plentiful. In fact, I took half of it home for another meal. We split the dessert - chocolate chip cookie with ice cream (pareve) and chocolate sauce - to die for.\n\nThe waitress, Olga, was more than pleasant, she was competent and friendly and it was a pleasure to be her customer. The restaurant was beautiful and the booths are very private and comfortable.\n\nWe will go back here in a second. Not too many great restaurants around these days. This is a gem!!“

“If you're looking for a great steak dinner, LongHorn Steakhouse is the place to go!

Our group enjoyed a variety of dishes, including the Renegade Sirloin Steak, Ribeye Steak, Baby Back Ribs, and the 7 oz. LongHorn Salmon paired with 8 ct. Redrock Grilled Shrimp. We also had side orders of Shrimp & Lobster Chowder, Mixed Greens Salad, and Mashed Potatoes.

The steaks were perfectly cooked and incredibly succulent, satisfying every steak lover's craving.

The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, seasoned just right, and absolutely perfect.

The salmon and shrimp were delicious, offering a fresh and flavorful complement to the hearty dishes.

The Shrimp & Lobster Chowder was the perfect choice for a chilly Friday night, warm and full of rich seafood flavors.

LongHorn Steakhouse offers a welcoming atmosphere, fantastic food, and great service. Highly recommend for a satisfying meal with family or friends!“

“It's so nice to be out at a restaurant! This location is poppen so be prepared to wait a lil bit. We always sit at the bar and Angela was busy! She was friendly and never stopped moving! Our shrimp was salty to me but my husband at it all.“

“Yummy food and good service.“

“I can't say enough about my whole experience with the staff, accommodations and food!! I must have called 6 times changing the number of people and requesting a round table and they were so patient and accommodating. I'm sorry I don't remember the names I spoke with on the phone but they were wonderful. Our server Miguel was great, we wanted for nothing and the room we were in was outstanding. We all had an excellent time I could not have been happier!!“

“We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Ruth's Chris! From start to finish, the timing was impeccable—appetizers, soup, salad, entrées, and dessert all arrived seamlessly without ever feeling rushed or delayed. The steaks were delicious, perfectly seasoned, and expertly prepared—though for my husband and son they were just a tad more done than their personal preference, which didn't take away from how flavorful they were. The staff went above and beyond by providing complimentary additional sides, which was such a thoughtful touch and truly made us all feel special. Every single dish was delicious, and the attention to detail really stood out. They also did an amazing job celebrating a milestone birthday, making the evening feel extra memorable and meaningful. An outstanding dining experience all around—we will definitely be back again soon!“
