Gibsons Bar and Steakhouse

Pros: Great steaks, some good side dishes, quick food delivery (can be a pro or con).
Cons: Abrupt and borderline rude service, noisy atmosphere, unappetizing food plating

Calling itself THE Steakhouse in Chicago, Gibsons Bar and Steakhouse specializes in no-frills, “manly” food, primarily of the red meat variety. My family picked this restaurant for Mama Chelledun’s fiftieth. Our party consisted of my ...

Cons: Pricey..pricey....pricey

Ah...dear readers....since you've "clicked" through on this particular epinion, there's no doubt in my mind that you're in the mood for something to salivate about as you stare into your computer screen.

How does a thick, juicy,...

If you think of what it would be like to eat the most incredible steak in your life, that would describe your dining experience at Gibson's. The restaurant is easy to find as it is on Rush street and marked "GIBSON'S" in huge letters. More than likely, ...

Pros: Excellent steak, made the way it should be.
Cons: Desserts are priced too high

I recently had the opportunity to visit the Chicago area for a few days on a business trip with a few of my co-workers. Though we were staying outside of the city, we decided we would eat at some of the better restaurants. I did a lot of research before...

Pros: Good cuts of meat, large portions, relaxed atmosphere
Cons: Expensive, crowded

My husband and I were actually searching for Morton's steakhouse when we decided to try Gibson's Bar & Steakhouse. It turned out to be one of the best meals we had while in Chicago. We arrived on a Sunday night without reservations and were told it...

Pros: "See-and-be-seen"
Cons: Food is fair and very pricey

Gibson's is loud. The dark wood and other fixtures evokes images of a private men's only club found at the turn of the century. Nowadays, this is the kind of place you go if you want to see or be seen, especially on a corporate expense account. This...

Pros: Excellent cuisine, service terrific, portions huge.
Cons: Costly but worth the money, tables very close together so not much room

Reservations are a must for Gibson's and it takes a while to get them, but the results are worth the wait. We had 7:30 reservations and were taken immediately to our table. The restaurant is small and somewhat crowded (they use every inch) but we got...

Pros: Great food
Cons: Crowded atmosphere

Gibson's is a great steakhouse to hit while in Chicago. Reservations are highly recommended and even with reservations, you very well may not be seated right away. (It is a VERY busy place.) The atmosphere is dark and has a "cigar" theme....

Pros: incredible food, service, and fun!
Cons: pricey, hard to get reservations

Yes, that means good fun, good service, good food, and good drinks; Gibsons serves it all!

This restauarant has impechable steak and other food. The bar in the upstairs area is classy; the bartenders are very personable and very...

Pros: Excellent Service
Cons: Really average food for the price, waiting for tables regardless of reservation

The only restaurant in Chicago that finds it acceptable to make customers wait one hour even though they have a reservation. I understand that this place is a hotspot and 'the place to be seen', but the basic premise of a reservation should still hold...

Pros: Great steaks!
Cons: Big prices!

Gibsons has two Chicago locations - one downtown and one out by O'Hare in a nearby hotel. The locations are packed, even in the middle of the week, and this is fitting - most of the people dining here are business people. And this is the perfect place...
