Boeufhaus

Boeufhaus is such an underrated spot, but that’s why I love it because I know I can usually get a reservation in a pinch. I’ve been coming here for a while and it’s usually a go to for me when guests are visiting Chicago. I think it’s one of the best steakhouses in the city! The staff are excellent, and the food is even better. They often have some good specials going on weeknights, and pro tip, if you want the burger you have to sit at the bar. For starters I always recommend the fried perch, it’s one of my favorite bites in Chicago. Perfectly crispy and light. Also the short rib beignets, shrimp cocktail, and steak tartare are all excellent. For mains, they make a fantastic duck breast, the steak frites are great as well but if you’re with a group either get a Ribeye or Porterhouse for the table, trust me. They dry age their meats so you get an incredible flavor and they’re perfectly cooked every time. Truly one of my favorite places to go, tonight was my first time trying the burger, and it did not disappoint!

My girlfriend and I came into this experience really just wanting to eat some steak tartare but decided to go all in, and we don’t regret it at all. Everything we ordered from the short rib beignets to the aged ribeye was *chef’s kiss* If I had to critique one thing it would be the drinks(?) My girlfriends lemon drop had a pretty medicinal taste which we diluted a bit and my old fashioned was, in my opinion, a bit too bitter; however, we overlooked it because of the food.

Hands down best dining experience I've ever had! Went here for an anniversary, and the hospitality and attention to detail were impeccable. My date and I felt so seen and cared for the entire night. As for the food... still daydreaming about it. Can't recommend this place enough!

Great service and atmosphere. Food should be a 5 but got a 3 because of the pepper! Appetizers were great. Sides delicious. Meat quality and cooking excellent, but they screwed up the beef with Pepper. ask them not to put any! They are using high quality beef, dry aging it for 55 days and cooking it perfectly, and then they pour pepper on it which does not allow you to enjoy the taste of the steak. Fine to put pepper on a cheap steak like the ones at Outback steakhouse but not here. Bad mistake!!!!

I never heard of this place, and decided to try it on a whim with my gf. We were in the area and felt like a good dinner. Walked in on a Thursday night; we had no reservation, but lucked out by getting the last open table at 730ish. The place is small, and there isn't much space between the few tables they have. But once we were seated, everything was a win. Tried the short rib beignets for an appetizer. Interesting sweet/savory mix; I dug it. For the main course, I went with the NY strip, fries and mushrooms. Every bite was excellent and nothing survived. That said, my gf had the lamb and she thought it was just ok. It was a large piece of meat but she didn't quite dig the flavor. We were too full for dessert, but did try several drinks. Do yourself a favor and try the Surfer on Acid.... It was incredible. My gf had the Healthy Option and that was really good too. The only drag for me is the proximity to other patrons. I don't like being super close to strangers when I'm dropping serious coin to dine. The characters at the table next to us were audible so I heard EVERYTHING discussed. So if you're looking for a super intimate evening, keep this in mind.

The bone-in ribeye was served sliced with the bone cut off. In my opinion, serving cut steak, not meant to top a salad, is against the well-known rules of serving a bone in medium rare steak. Needless to say, the $110 ribeye lacked flavor and was not the star of my experience. The steak tartare was delicious, but unfortunately, it was served with toasted slices of plain white bread. What a miss. Thankfully, the "New Brunswick" raw oysters were exquisite and shucked masterfullly! Their signature cocktail, the "Humboldt Sour" is a must try, simply scientific! I recommend sitting at the bar, as the bartender was knowledgeable about the menu and attentive.

Unsurprisingly Boeufhaus is a stalwart in the neighborhood. Searing and serving up impeccable steaks coupled with tantalizing sides and culinary ingenuity. A dark, cozy, almost hidden lair like dining room as busy as a bustling street corner makes it easy to settled in. Moreover. The short rib beignets are nothing short of spectacular. The short rib mixture encapsulated in a soft pillowy story dough flanked by a kiddie pool of short rib jus will be an unforgettable taste bud test drive. Go to Boeufhaus.
