A really great steakhouse with wonderful service and food. It’s efficient and not invasive. Menu is straightforward steakhouse with a few extras. I had the crab cake, prime rib and an apple tart for dessert. All delicious. Also, portions are huge so share - even the steaks.
I visited here alone and they gave me the table seat. I was worried because I saw a review there was a racism here, but I couldn't acknowledge that. The waiter was really nice, the whole employees cared me a lot.
The steak was fantastic. It has been cooked what I expected, and the amount of the steak was enough for one person(might be too much for someone). The steak by itself was so good that I didn't even need a sauce. Not only just steak, the soup and appetizer bread was absolutely perfect. Had really great experience in Chicago thanks to Rosebud Steakhouse!
I was visiting from New York and stayed at an Air B&B down the street. I wandered in late on a Saturday and sat at the bar, had a cocktail and ordered the 40 day aged Kansas City strip and a side of Mac N Cheese. It was cooked to perfection and delicious and one of the best ive had to date.
My favorite part of the place was the atmosphere. The bartender has relationships with all the regulars, groups of old Cubs fan argue at the bar, it was great.
Loved it so much I went back the next day and wet aged New York strip. It was just as impressive. I spoke to the bartender a bit more and he was very easy to speak to and had great stories.
We fell in love with Rosebud Steakhouse and the amazing wait staff. Our server, Chris, was the best tour guide to the richness of Rosebud AND Chicago. He was attentive and entertaining, informative and humorous, professional and endearing. The very best of high quality, timeless service. The service was further elevated by the veteran wait staff; one gentleman had been providing fost class service for over 50 years! We felt duly pampered and welcomed. We left with full bellies and happy hearts.
We shared the Chicago cowboy cut (22oz) steak, medium rare. It was a BEAUT! Perfectly cooked, seasoned to perfection, and thoroughly rested for an amazing presentation at the table. Chris cut it for us table side! We shared the brussel sprouts (with the most amazing bacon lardon ever! and a brilliant sauce that I was too busy eating to try to fully identify) and the steakhouse mash (Chris gave the mashed potatoes a little extra love tableside, adding sour cream, bacon, chives and more cheese). For dessert we shared the brown butter cake with caramel gelato. The experience was sensational. Not an average dessert, made fresh in house at a truly above average eatery.
We already have plans to come back in the summer. Rosebud Steakhouse will be our first stop in Chicago. If you're in town, stop by, ask for Chris and tell him the 3 cousins from NYC sent you!
Our steaks were over cooked. Dessert—Gooey Butter Cake was dry. Toward the end of our meal, we did not see our waiter for a long time. I was not asked if I wanted another cocktail. Just was expecting 5 stars like the rating we gave Rosebud on Rush.
This is the first time I’m writing a food review. Eddie gave my boyfriend and I the best customer service. He provided wine testing, explained us what dry aged meant and remembered that it was my boyfriend’s birthday when mentioned. Thank you Eddie!
We had very good service in this steakhouse restaurant. Good food. Wine list could be improved.
We tried Rosebud Steakhouse last week on a recommendation from a guy we met at another bar that was too busy to accommodate our party and had a fantastic experience. Since all of the tables were full, we went to the bar- we had a party of 6, and we’re working out who was going to sit and who was going to float around so we wouldn’t be in an awkward line- when the manager came up to us and said that he’d pushed a couple of tables together so we could all sit together. So we took our strong, yummy drinks to the dining room (the bartender was super gracious about transferring our check) and all sat together.
Once we were seated, we discovered that some of us had eaten and were there to drink while others of us were starving and still others were willing to eat again. Our waiter was really accommodating about this, which was really nice. So…I had the sole and it was delicious. The waiter deboned and plated it at the table which was kind of cool. My husband and I split a wedge salad to start and it was a really yummy wedge- crisp lettuce, thick bacon, and a really lovely blue cheese dressing.
Farther down the table, someone had a burger, which presented beautifully but I heard wasn’t the most memorable. We split the following sides amongst the table: cauliflower au gratin (so good), grilled asparagus (yum), mashed potatoes (kind of dry). Oh I almost forgot- they brought out bread at the beginning that was wonderful!
Amazing evening at Rosebud. This was our first time as we live out of town. We sat at the table at and Kevin was our bartender, he was delightful. We ordered drinks and numerous starters to share. Drinks were perfect, the food was hot and delicious. We will definitely be back the next time we visit our daughter in Chicago.
Pretty much old school steak house. Very good steak and salad. Steak was super tender. My wife didn't really care for the spices on the steak but I thought it was fine. The biggest baked potatoes I've ever seen! I had asparagus on the side, well cooked but not warm when it was served. The baked potatoes were not piping hot either. The server we had was beyond excellent. We were going to order two side salads but he told us one was enough for two people. He was right! He also told us one potatoe would be fine for both of us but I ordered two. He was right again and I took half home. The interior is a little dated and could do with a makeover.
