15 Best Steakhouses near South Barrington

“Ruth's Chris has been our special occasion restaurant for 30 years across the country. From Vegas, Hawaii, Minnesota, south barrington, Northbrook and Chicago we have been to them all and usually love the food and ambiance. Unfortunately my wife's meal was a true disappointment last night. They tried making her steak three times and each time came out wrong or beyond well done which is not what she ordered unfortunately. After the third attempt the manager finally offered to take it off the bill and my wife simply had appetizers and sides for dinner. Not our usual Ruth's Chris experience but certainly was memorable for the wrong reasons.“

“Amazing service with extensive wine listing and delicious menu. Got to try the 7-finger pork chop.“

“We had an amazing dinner and service with my two daughters for the youngest 8th grade graduation. They treated us like queens and we ate like it also!!“

“Chicago Prime Steak House is my favorite place to go when I want a great steak. The staff is always friendly, and the food is always fresh.“

“I decided to go to LAGO for the first time last night, and I’m so grateful I did! From the moment we arrived, the valet was incredibly kind, and the ambience struck the perfect balance—upscale yet cozy and welcoming. I felt at home immediately, with that unmistakable “city” energy that makes a night out feel special. Our server, Lexi, was absolutely wonderful—beautiful, vibrant, and genuinely attentive. She went above and beyond to make my birthday feel truly special, and we all adored her. The food was delicious, the service was impeccable, and every detail reflected how much care and expertise go into this restaurant. I’ve been missing a place like this, and I can’t wait to come back. LAGO is something special.“

“The service was super great tonight. Despite there being almost an hour wait, we were able to checked in online before even leaving the house and had our drinks less than 5 minutes of being seats. Wish I remembered our waitresses name because she was pretty great as well.“

“Great atmosphere and servers.“

“We were waited on by Jonathan, who had quite the pleasant demeanor when he arrived. He quickly got our appetizer (wild shrimp) and bread, filled our waters. Soon the luscious steak came. I mean, you can't beat it for taste and value anywhere. I found him (Jonathan) thoughtful when he asked if we wanted more water to go. He and the whole staff deserve your good tips. They've made this Longhorn a very pleasant eatery. Alejandra and one other hostess at the door gave such bright smiles, it made our night. Thanks all!“

“My husband and I went to Outback this evening for my birthday. The food and the staff have always been amazing and tonight they took it to a whole new level.

Your kindness and generosity meant more to me than you will ever know. Love you all and will be back real soon.“
