I will be visiting Chicago this weekend and I am looking for opinions on good steak houses. What do you guys like?

Danny83 · 17 June 2016, 02:30 PM

Bavettes Boeuf ...also most Rolexes I have seen at any restaurant in my life

rr-nyc · 17 June 2016, 02:32 PM

Since it's pretty tough to find a good prime rib in NYC so I always stop for prime rib at Lawrys in Chicago.

Gene & Georgetti's has pretty good steaks but nothing special compared to NYC steakhouses

Paul_I · 17 June 2016, 02:35 PM

Thanks thus far. I'm looking into all suggestions.

T. Ferguson · 17 June 2016, 03:36 PM

I'm an expatriate so there are probably other more recent places but Gibson's is always good.

Oh, and any place that serves Allen Brothers meats. Best steak I ever had was home BBQ'd Allen Bros. dry aged NY strip. Best ever.

Chicago Cut on LaSalle Street is excellent and one of my favorites there. Of course there are so many but I'd give this one a try.

m1911a1 · 17 June 2016, 08:54 PM

With my work, I "have-to" eat at these places a lot all over the country.....and get REALLY tired of it.
In Chicago you have....
Morton's, Flemmings's, Capital Grill, Mastro's, Gibson's, Ruth's Chris, Gene & Georgetti's, Chop House, Smith & Wollensky's, Shula's, etc, etc.....blah blah blah....

I know I sound like my grand-parents now, but....
I like PRIME-RIB way more than Steak....so I still like going to Lawry's Prime-Rib over the past 40 years.
The place is dated, but I really don't care about "Fine-Dining" anymore....

I would rather eat Shushi or Pizza when I'm not hauling customers around.

Texas Roadhouse rocks Bro!

I prefer Gibsons mostly for the fact that their desserts are incredible and massive. Their macadamia turtle pie could be my favorite thing on Earth.

Dark horse pick for me is David Burke's Primehouse. They age steaks to lengths that you normally don't see, up to 75 days, in a Himalayan salt room. It makes the steak have an intense beef flavor. Almost like game. Definitely something to try if you want unique.

GerardoG · 18 June 2016, 12:08 AM

Gibsons is very good, and Mortons was BORN in Chicago

jhilly8982 · 18 June 2016, 10:21 AM

Swift and Sons

prs77 · 18 June 2016, 10:55 AM

Chicago Chop House

Hairdude1 · 18 June 2016, 11:10 AM

Swift and sons, Morton's, Chicago Cut, Lawry's, Rosebud Steak, David Burke, to name a few. What area are you staying in?

Paul_I · 19 June 2016, 03:26 AM

We are staying in the loop.

T. Ferguson · 19 June 2016, 05:23 AM

The original Morton's is close by you.

The Lawrys in Chicago is good. Never had a bad meal there!

BLACKHORSE 6 · 19 June 2016, 10:55 AM

I had a great steak at the Drake Hotel, but that was a few years ago.

What are you doing for work? I'm currently looking and if you "have to" wine and dine like that it sounds like it might be in my wheelhouse. PM if you prefer.

Thanks!
