Chicago’s Premiere Steak Houses

Chicago is well known for their luscious and mouth watering steaks and prime rib. Pencil in at least one night and visit one of the many steak houses that the city has to offer. There is a place to meet everyone’s needs, so if you want to dress up or go casual, the choice is yours because there is a little bit of everything.
If you are dying for some succulent prime rib then head straight to 100 E. Ontario Street, where you will find Lawry’s, The Prime Rib Restaurant which boasts about having the best prime rib in the world. It is not surprising considering the well known name of Lawry’s seasoning salt and other products. The restaurant is very unique in style and in service. You are able to sip on world class wines from their winery, enjoy exquisite service, luxuriate in the most elegant and charming surroundings, all while you feast upon the world’s best prime rib.
Lawry’s rock salted prime rib is aged to perfection for 21 days. While you are in the restaurant your prime rib will be carved for you tableside from a silver cart and you will be able to select the perfect piece. Located in the heart of the Magnificent Mile, Lawry’s is also the home of what is known as the “spinning salad”. It is very fascinating to watch as the server brings an assortment of fresh salad options right to your table and after you select what items create your perfect salad, the server will literally spin them into the air and they will land completely tossed to perfection. The premium prime rib dinner is also served with creamed horseradish sauce, mashed potatoes, and Yorkshire pudding. The ambiance of the restaurant which used to be the McCormick mansion back in the late 1800’s is now home to this savory restaurant.
Smoking is allowed at the bar only. Parking is valet or street side (not recommended). Reservations preferred. Not very child friendly. Moderate to expensive in price. Rated 4 ½ stars for their prime rib. Accept all major credit cards.
