“A fantastic Chicago steak house experience”

The overall experience at Gibson's is second to none. Great service, great drinks, and best of all great food. Their steaks are just fantastic. I have been there many times and never had anything less than a superb meal. Their signature WR cut steak is my favorite. A bone-in ribeye that is steak perfection. I have tried all of the cuts, they are all excellent, but the WR is my favorite. I just can't order anything else when I go there. They also have the best lobster I have had. Perfectly cooked. Sometimes we order one for the table. They are huge.
All of the sides are big, so sharing is a must. Their great service staff will let you know how much to order. They are professional and efficient which is most important to me.
For desert, the turtle pie is so good it should be illegal. Macadamia nuts, ice cream, chocolate sauce and an unbelievably buttery crust. It is large enough to feed six easily. If it is just me and the wife dining, the waiter will make up a smaller one. That and a cup of their coffee is the perfect ending.
I have been to all of the top steak houses in Chicago and while Chicago has quite a few gems, this is right at the top. I always bring out of town guests there and each and every one of them have raved about it. Try it for the ultimate Chicago steak house experience.

if you seek a quiet dinner- skip Gibsons. If you want a loud, great chicago style steakhouse experience, this is it. the place is hustling and bustling. Service was good, seemed a little rushed but not rude. very quick to refill water and clear plates.

sliced sirloin with red wine sauce was wonderful. goat cheese w/
tomatoes was a mound of goat cheese that must've taken 3 goats to make.

the steaks were great, the portions typical steakhouse enormous and the value was good for the portion size. the desserts are ENORMOUS- be warned. split them with 2 people.

fun, loud, good food.

While staying near Rosemont, we asked the hotel for suggestions for a nice steak place. They sent us to Gibsons. There were 5 adults and 3 children. First, they would not seat us at our RESERVED table until all parties were in the building. I was instantly annoyed. Why book a reservation if they will not seat you? We were finally seated and the room was so loud and packed with people that you literally had to shout to others at the table with you. The waiter was very nice and suggested some appetizers that were not on the menu, we said that would be fine. We opened the menu and about fainted. $35.00-$75.00 for a steak and that includes NOTHING else. If you would like a side, for example a potato, it will cost you $6.50. The kids were $20.00 a piece, and this does not include a drink. Here is a link for their menu ----- . By the time the meal was through, we had a bill of $450.00. The appetizers were over $100.00 alone. We occupied the table for about an hour and a half. Our waiter had at least three other tables. We tipped him $25.00. I feel that a tip of over $50 was just crazy, neither myself or my husband make that an hour! The waiter approached our table and informed us that he usually gets at least 15% for a tip... and then stood there wanting more money. He did a fine job, however, I don't think he did $50.00 worth of service by bringing us our food.

The steak was good, way to much for even my husband to finish, the food was all very good. I would never, ever, spend that kind of money again on a meal. Totally not worth the price.

We were looking for a place to get a great steak, looked in a travel guide in the hotel room, They mentioned, Gibsons. It said, "If you want Flintstone slabs of meat, go to Gibsons. We did. They did not lie. And above all else, it was probably the best steak that i have ever eaten. We got there a little early around 5:30. They were not busy when we got there, but by the time we left, they were packed.
Was a little pricey, but well worth it. The waitress, was very friendly. They had a good assortment of Domestic beers. For sure a place to check out.

This restaurant was very busy and a little noisy--not the place for a quiet conversation. The food was very good! If you are planning on ordering a dessert, make sure you have at least 4 people to share--the chocolate cake they bring is the size of an actual whole chocolate cake!! A little pricey, but convenient if you are staying at the attached Double Tree Hotel. Worth it!
