Ambiance of an historical place; photos of all Chicago Mayors and of historical buildings adorned the walls. White table cloths and candles. Service was impeccable the variety of meats and dishes were explained in great detail. I went early at opening so 4 pm there were not a lot of people there. Sammy stairs so if you have someone who needs assistance it maybe difficult.
The steak was tender and had flavor. The fries was seasoned with olive oil and parsley with parmesan cheese. There were two types of lamb chops one which cost more than the other and the explanation was flavor however I could have gotten the cheaper ones I did not taste any difference from any other lamb chop. The broccoli was seasoned well. And we recieved a complimentary dessert due to the occasion. I love steak houses and this is surely in the top 10. Although there are others slightly higher on my list I would return.

We had a wonderful date night at Chicago Chop House. The service was truly exceptional; our server, Nico, and the rest of the staff provided a level of classic, professional hospitality that is rare to find these days. As for the meal, the food was delicious and we were pleasantly surprised by the generous portion sizes of the sides. While the menu is at a higher price point, the 40% Anniversary discount (valid on all food) made the evening an incredible value. Since I’m currently on crutches, we opted for a table on the first floor, which still offered a perfect romantic ambiance with great music. It’s a comfortable, high-end destination for any special occasion.

We came to celebrate our 10 yr “dating” anniversary. Reservations were made a few weeks in advance on OpenTable.
We were seated on the 2nd flr w/ no wait upon arrival. FYI: you will lose your reservation if you are more than 15 min late.
Alyssa was our server and she never missed a beat w/ our entire dinner. Thank you Alyssa for your phenomenal service.
We had a 5:30pm reservation and the place was pretty quiet but within the hour, it was packed. Somewhat noisy, but you can still have a conversation. We also happened to come during their 40th anniversary so all food ordered was 40% off. The restaurant itself had a classy old school Chicago mobster vibe. Great for a date night. Dim lighting. They do have a small lit candle on the dining table.
The complimentary bread was soft, hot and super fresh. We ordered the chopped salad. I was not a fan of their balsamic glaze dressing since I am not big on Parmesan, that specific salad usually comes w/ a parmesan garlic dressing. They do offer to plate the salad for you. Which was nice. My favorite dish was the lobster bisque soup. It came piping hot. I found it interesting and comical how they set an empty bowl in front of you, then they add literally one small tiny bite size piece of lobster, and then they pour the soup on top of that little lobster piece. Fresh cracked pepper is offered. The porterhouse steak arrived hot and they also sliced it for us. It was pretty good. Not as good as Bavette’s, Asador, or Gibson’s in my opinion. We also ordered the fries. Some of the fries I had were hard on the inside and some were soft, I suppose it was a mix of both fresh and old potatoes. We also ordered the carrot cake. We were only able to eat half of it, but we both enjoyed it. We didn’t receive any complimentary celebratory desserts, but they did give us a candle on our carrot cake plate and a chocolate decoration saying “happy anniversary” which was thoughtful. One other thing worth mentioning, one of the managers made sure to stop at every table asking how everyone’s dinner was-something you don’t see everywhere, and it showed they really care about the guest experience. We’ll definitely be back.

I visited this restaurant to celebrate a close friend’s birthday, and unfortunately the experience was disappointing.
The atmosphere was difficult to enjoy because the table next to us was extremely loud, to the point where we could barely hear our own conversation. It took away from what should have been a relaxed dining experience.
I was also unhappy that our steaks were pre-cut to check for doneness. For a restaurant at this price point, I expect the kitchen to be confident in preparing steaks properly without needing to cut into them beforehand. I also prefer to cut my own steak when dining.
The service, however, was excellent. Our servers were respectful, attentive, and professional — they were truly the highlight of the visit.
As for the food, it was average at best. The steaks were underwhelming, and while the macaroni and cheese was enjoyable, even that could have been better. Overall, I would rate the food a 5/10. The quality simply does not justify the prices being charged.
There are many steakhouses that offer a much better dining experience and higher-quality food for the same or lower price. I left unsatisfied and would not return or recommend this restaurant.

Very wonderful dinner! Our server was Ilyana (apologies if it was spelled wrong) She was very educated on the menu and answered any questions we had about the steak/appetizers. She was also very attentive and smart when it came to timing each dish together. Pretty pricey but for two drinks, 1 appetizer, two steaks + two sauces, a side dish and a dessert (which was complimentary for a celebration) it was well worth the price.
We sat on the second floor. Only complaint would be the noise. We visited on a Saturday night so it was obviously busy. There were multiple parties and they were VERY loud plus the music made it very hard to talk and sometimes hear our server. Wish the restaurant did a little better to accommodate the noise somehow. Besides that very nice experience, yummy tasting food. We would visit again- maybe on a slower day.

Chicago Chop House is an absolute classic and never disappoints. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels timeless, elegant, and welcoming, perfect for a special night or a great steak dinner.
The food was outstanding: perfectly cooked steaks, rich flavors, and top quality ingredients across the board. Everything we ordered was delicious and well presented.
What truly made the experience exceptional was Julio. His attention was amazing, professional, friendly, and genuinely attentive without ever being intrusive. He made us feel welcome, anticipated our needs, and ensured everything was perfect throughout the evening. Service like his truly elevates the entire dining experience.
Highly recommend Chicago Chop House if you’re looking for top-tier steak, classic Chicago charm, and outstanding service. Ask for Julio you won’t be disappointed!

Went here with my wife recently and had a very good meal. She ordered a half-roasted chicken and I ordered a dry-aged bone-in Kansas City strip with a side of mash potato. We also ordered a cold water lobster tail to share and at the end of the meal a crème brûlée. Everything was delicious and my steak was cooked a perfect medium well. Our waitress (Ilayna) was also very nice and friendly and the inside decor is very Chicago steakhouse. Would definitely recommend.

I dined at Chicago Chop House and really enjoyed their dry-aged ribeye, which was rich, juicy, and cooked exactly as I requested. The sides were solid—creamy potatoes and crisp vegetables added good balance—though I felt a few sauces were overly heavy and masked some of the meat’s natural flavor. The atmosphere felt classic and refined, with dark woods and an elegant, old-world steakhouse charm, but it did feel a little cramped when full. Overall, it was a satisfying experience and a go-to for serious steak lovers.
