If you want a taste of classic, old world steakhouse doing it the same way they did generations ago, this is the place for that experience. Service perfection, attention to detail. Admittedly the prices do not match the quality - the value versus cost is understandably low. But you’re here for the experience. Can you get a better steak for a better price in Chicagoland? Without a doubt. But you have to experience the classic at least once.
I recently dined at the renowned Gibsons steakhouse in the Gold Coast of Chicago, and while the culinary experience was undeniably delightful, it didn't quite reach the pinnacle of perfection. My enjoyment was somewhat tempered by the noticeable lack of cleanliness in the tableware, prompting me to politefully request a replacement glass.
In terms of pricing, the establishment aligns itself with other esteemed steakhouses in the city. However, it's worth noting that some of its counterparts generously include side dishes with their high-priced offerings, a gesture absent from my experience here.
Overall, I departed with a sense of satisfaction, appreciating the culinary craftsmanship, but my visit was not without its hitches. As such, I would attribute a 3.75 out of 5 stars rating to this particular occasion, but would still recommend trying for yourself.
This is what a 5-Star Restaurant is all about: great service, food, and atmosphere. We went to celebrate a sailor's graduation from Basic Training in the US Navy. He is from another city but he wanted steak! Gibson's is one of the best in the city.
They allowed us to change our seat because we wanted a better location. To top it all off, the restaurant picked up his tab for the meal as a surprise to us. He was extremely grateful. I'm gonna have to go to the military surplus store and get me a uniform. Just kidding!
What an awesome steakhouse, we had a all around fantastic time at Gibson's Bar & Steakhouse tonight. This establishment is not only one of the best steakhouses in Chicago, it's one of the most famous in the country, and it didn't disappoint during our visit tonight. The food was excellent and the service was perfect. We couldn't recommend this place highly enough, it's a must visit restaurant in Chicago!
Wowwww !!! Just amazing - ordered Australian grass fed NY strip steak medium well and it was perfectly cooked, one of the best steaks I've had. Staff is super friendly and atmosphere is great. Really enjoyed it. Definitely visiting again.
Australian grass fed steaks are HALAL.
👍🏻
Highly recommended and absolutely great rib eye. We did not do starters as they looked big, and the meal we had was more than enough.
Dinner for 2 same steaks, couple of sides, a few glasses of wine each...$250... plus service... good value for a high end place
The vibe of this place is unreal. Piano player, people at the bar, people rooting for the Chicago Bears. It was unlike anything I ever experienced before. The bartender Zach called me by my name. I had the best steak I’ve ever had at a steakhouse. I will be recommending this to anyone in Chicago.
Definitely don't miss this steakhouse downtown Chicago! The steak was amazingly tender, the Brussels sprouts were roasted to perfection. The salads were fresh and crisp. Great wine/cocktail selection and the service is top notch. I definitely recommend making a reservation.
What a lovely place! I loved the atmosphere of the restaurant, but I never went inside. The weather was perfect so I sat outside and met a couple of local women while I ate. It was peaceful and beautiful and luxurious. The best day ever. Very good steak and Caesar salad. Can’t wait to come back.
I grew up in Chicago, but left the city about 30ish years ago to follow my job. Whenever I come home, though, I always make an effort to stop by Gibsons. Yes, it’s a bit pricey— but you truly do get what you pay for. Service is exceptional. You are treated respectfully and professionally every second you’re in this restaurant. Food is delicious—and portions are large. Ambiance is “old school” Chicago.
We love this place and will come back every time we return to Chicago. It’s worth every penny.
