Gibsons Bar & Steakhouse

I’ve been to many steakhouses all over the world and this one is one of my favorites. It’s always bustling. The service is very good. Of course it gets a little bit busy, but it’s not the type of place you should come if you’re in a rush. Steaks are sensational. The most recent visit I had a porterhouse that really was outstanding. Sides are very good. I particularly like the hashbrowns and they do half sizes if you are dining alone.

The service and food are excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant for business or family parties. Appetizers and sides are the best here - Crabmeat Avocado 🥑, Hashbrowns, Asparagus, Brussel Sprouts. Lamb Chops are my favorite.

Gibsons is a great place for dinner. Every time we go, we are not disappointed. This time, we decided to go there for New Years Eve. Although we had reservations, we decided to eat at the bar because they had live music, and the bartender Jason was amazing. I had the Sea Bass, and my husband had the filet. Both were flavorful. I would recommend the Sea Bass..

Great experience visiting this iconic Chicago Steakhouse. Reservations are highly recommended if the location is downtown as it is always packed. I choose Oak Brooke location as it was closer from my Hotel. Had a drink at the bar and bartender Cory was amazing. All the staff members are great and welcoming. For the dinner, it was Chicago Cut Ribeye, it was just great. Special thanks to Karen for taking care of me very well. I will surely return here.

To start out, the hostess and greeters were very professional. The coat check lady was also very nice. They made sure we were happy with our seating situation and seated us in a timely manner. Mind before you come here that it is loud! Before I get into the food, I want to discuss my service experience with waiter Dan. Dan originally greeted us and came off as stern and right to the point. This is okay but not if it becomes disrespectful. I usually prefer waiters like this becomes I come for the food, not to talk. While Dan was not directly rude he did talk over and move along to the next person ordering alarmingly quick while my dad was still trying to order. He seemed to be rushing us and that is not how we should feel. It could’ve been a honest mistake since it is really loud inside but ordering our food felt like an inconvenience for him. The real issue of the night was when we told Dan that it was my brother‘s birthday. Mind my brother has not shown up yet so we told Dan we want a Crème Brûlée at the end as well as their birthday chant as a surprise. Dan acknowledged this that it was a surprise and walked off. 3/4 the way into the meal Dan comes around and says to my brother “so I hear it’s your birthday!” To which of course my brother said “yes”(mind my brother doesn’t like attention which is why we had to make it a surprise or else he would know what’s coming at the end and be uncomfortable until it happens). Dan then proceeds to ask my dad in front of my brother, “was it a crème brûlée for the birthday boy?” Surprise ruined! It wouldn’t have been a problem if Dan acknowledged he maybe forgot what our request was, but it did not feel like Dan cared about our needs at all but rather just tell the kitchen what we wanted. While he wasn’t terrible it’s just the little things like connecting with your table and acknowledging their situation and occasion! Now to the food. Gibsons, you guys need to change your bread. The butter is phenomenal but the bread is not warm nor does it have any attributes that sets it ahead of other steakhouse bread. It is just boring. What is nice is you get 3 different kinds of bread. For starters their salads are fantastic! You cannot go wrong with ordering a salad here. I ordered the soup of the day which was lobster bisque. The flavor was immaculate but I wish there was a little more to it (lobster pieces or special cream drizzle). For my main I got a 10 ounce filet and this is the reason Gibsons is a prized steakhouse because well, they can produce an insane steak. Cooked to perfection and seasoned adequately. Their side mash potato’s are made in house and so good. Same with the cream of spinach. The crème brûlée was fantastic as well. It was complimentary as well so I thank you for that! If you are a steak enthusiast Gibsons is definitely a stop you’ll have to make.

I hadn't been in a while. I took my son for his birthday dinner. I was constantly comparing the food, atmosphere to Perry's Steakhouse realizing this is not my place.

Had a great dinner at Gibson’s. Lived up to the hype with nice entrées, cocktails and service. Server brings out the cuts of meat to select for your meal, nice touch. The desserts were the best though. I don’t even like carrot cake, but this was delicious. The crème brûlée was the size of my head. Only drawback was that the atmosphere was super loud and chaotic with a full restaurant and servers running around everywhere. Not the most relaxing vibe.

I frequent the Oak Brook location, it’s such a wonderful place. The servers remember you and treat you like family. Every steak is cooked perfectly and the a la carte sides are perfect for sharing. Martinis are a specialty here and you can’t miss them! Very old school Chicago no matter what location you’re at.
