The 15 Best Steakhouses In Chicago
Where to go for a meal involving red meat and a ridiculously large potato.
Chicago has always been a meat town. As a matter of fact, by our count, there are approximately 1,734 steakhouses in River North alone. And while you have plenty of excellent options for steak across the city, the sheer number of possibilities can also be a little overwhelming.
Rather than leave what almost always ends up being an expensive meal to chance, use this guide. Our favorites are a mix of classic and newer spots, and they all work when you want a big slab of meat plus the classic sides.
Gene & Georgetti
Gene & Georgetti is the ideal mashup of a classic steakhouse and an old-school pasta joint. It’s been around since 1941. Vintage movie posters, framed black and white photos, and old painted Italian landscapes decorate the walls. Servers dressed in bow ties, vests, and aprons zip around the sea of white tablecloths. And while its “local institution” status attracts a fair share of tourists, there’s an equally strong representation of regulars. If you enjoy feeling like a part of history, order a big steak (all of which have been aged for at least 21 days) and some eggplant parm, and let Frank Sinatra sing to you all night.
