19 Best Steakhouses near Des Plaines

“We come here frequently and I still don't think we eat here enough. Let's just say...their crab cakes and scallops are better than most of the places that “specialize” in those things. Their bookbinder soup, I eat at least one bowl every time I go and yesterday I had two of them. We love the management and staff...they are friendly, personable and who doesn't like being remembered as a frequent patron? Their management goes from table to table and makes you feel like you're eating in their home dining area. We have family events here and have brought friends with us. Probably one of the consistently phenomenal dining my wife and I have. I'd even go there to eat even if not gambling. It's that good. Don't take my word for it, see it for yourself.“

“Was looking forward to a great steak after a long day of traveling only to be turned away because we didn't have proof of vaccine cards with us!! What a joke! Will never return to this establishment!“

“Service was outstanding. We celebrated a birthday and it was an enjoyable experience. Staff was professional and courtesy. Timing of ordering and delivery of drinks and food was appropriate. Food was excellent and prepared as described in the menu.“

“Always top notch. Never had a bad meal or service yet.“

“Had the best filet mignon of my life, cooked to perfection! Our table of 8 ordered 6 sides to share. All were very good, except for the mashed potatoes which clumped together. Service was outstanding, including the valet parkers. Also had a good selection of bourbon.“

“My husband and I went here for Valentine's day and had a very enjoyable meal! The shrimp appetizer was outstanding and my steak was great. Drinks were good. My husband ordered the tiramisu which was tasty but was quite small for the price.The tables were a little too close for comfort in the one room. Hope to come back and eat in the other room where it seemed the tables were spaced out a little more.We came here on a recommendation and was not disappointed.“

“Checked this place out as I always enjoy a great steak. The menu is a bit limited, but everything I ordered was very delicious and well prepared. Started with empanada's that were nicely crisped and came with a side of chimichurri sauce. Then came a fresh mango salad with a delicious dressing. Finally, I ordered the 16oz ribeye which was cooked to a perfect medium rare and had a side of tri-colored mash potatoes and a spinach mash (green colored one) which was very unique and delicious. The restaurant was empty when we ate there, so its difficult to judge the ambience in that kind of situation. Definitely would return and the food was delicious!“

“Warm atmosphere! Great customer service and most importantly....Good food and drinks.“

“I had made a reservation, but it wasn't too busy and we were seated immediately (which is surprising to me for a Sunday afternoon.) Service was a little slow, but our waiter was very nice. It look some time before we were able to order. We also waited a while to flag down someone to get sauces or other things we needed. Besides the service being a little slow, the food was delicious and the drinks were good and pretty strong (but I'm also a lightweight..?) Since there weren't too many people in the restaurant, it was overall a peaceful dinner for us. Overall, nothing too crazy or extraordinary, but also nothing horrible. I'd come back for more bloomin onion for sure.“

“Danielle was the most wonderful server ever. She made me feel so special for my birthday dinner with friends - the table was decorated, she came by often to check on us, gave us great recommendations on the food and drinks. My friend and I each ordered the prix fixe menu and it should have ended with a dessert for each of us. Danielle brought out a wonderful birthday cheesecake dessert with a candle in it for me, but my friend never got her dessert. When I had asked about it I think she may have forgotten that we had gotten the meal set and in the end never returned. With such the great experience we just let it go, but it would have been nice to get that dessert for my friend.“

“A Culinary Masterpiece: Exquisite Beef WellingtonI recently had the pleasure of experiencing the epitome of culinary excellence at shallots. Words can hardly encapsulate the divine delight that was their Beef Wellington. As a seasoned food enthusiast, I've traversed the (kosher) gastronomic landscape far and wide, yet never have I encountered a dish as sublime as this.From the moment the plate graced our table, it was evident that this was no ordinary Beef Wellington. The golden-brown pastry shell, flawlessly crimped and glistening, hinted at the delectable treasure hidden within.Upon slicing through the delicate crust, I was met with a succulent medley of flavors. The tender, melt-in-your-mouth beef, perfectly cooked to medium-rare perfection, nestled amidst a symphony of earthy mushrooms and rich, aromatic duxelles. Each bite was a harmonious fusion of textures and tastes, leaving me utterly spellbound.But what truly elevated this Beef Wellington to legendary status was the chef's meticulous attention to detail. Every component was executed with precision and finesse, culminating in a culinary masterpiece that transcended mere sustenance.As I savored each exquisite morsel, I couldn't help but marvel at the chef's ingenuity and dedication. This was not just a meal; it was an experience—an unforgettable journey through the realms of taste and indulgence.To the chef behind this culinary triumph, I extend my sincerest gratitude. You have not only created the best Beef Wellington I've ever had the pleasure of tasting, but you have also crafted one of the top five dishes I've ever been served. Tonight, you should go home with your head held high, knowing that you have left an indelible mark on my palate and heart alike.“

“We had an excellent meal here last week. Appetizers were great...stuffed mushrooms and my steak and sweet potato were perfect. Service was very good even though they were busy. After a poor experience at Outback I'm so glad we went to the Longhorn Steakhouse.“

“the best italian food and service is the best.“

“Love their Margaritas so yummy“

“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.“

“all the employees at this outback steakhouse, we're so well dressed, friendly and polite... I'm really grateful to have coworkers that are able to put together meals like this, for hungry people who are at home! The wooden decor really had me impressed. And I enjoyed the nice table set“

“Had reservations for a Saturday night, the place was PACKED. The Server said they weren't expecting the volume they had and were short staffed. She made up for it. Hustled, the entire staff was hustling.The food was excellent, steak was perfection. All phases of the meal were on point.Give this vintage restaurant a try. There's a reason it's still there after all these years.“

“No Soup for You!!!! Had dinner at Jameson's last night (3-16-2024). My spouse does not eat dairy. A soup was offered for her meal. Both choices had dairy ingredients. When asked to substitute a salad, we were informed it would cost 3.00. So, no soup for spouse, no salad for spouse. No credit on check for no soup. My wife is not the only person who does not eat dairy. Restaurant showed no flexibiity. While food and service were OK, we will not be back to Jameson's due to their policy. We had been semi-regular patrons, but, no more. The restaurant should offer a soup selection without dairy! Sorry Jameson's you've lost a customer. Your new policy of not substituting something for what a patron can not eat has turned us away.“

“Food, service, and atmosphere was the best! A+++“
