Really enjoyed our evening there. The Filet was cooked perfectly. I cut it with my fork. I ordered it Medium and it was exactly as requested. Great Warm Chocolate Cake too. more

I've been a longtime fan of Keefer's - which usually gets less attention than traditional Chicago steakhouses. This restaurant delivers on excellent service and a consistently above par experience. Meats are of excellent quality. Good assortment of seafood. Sides are consistent and varied enough for any tastes. Dining room can get a bit loud during busy periods (what restaurant doesn't?)... more

Just okay

Not good for business. More of a place for drinkers - mature bar scene. There are a lot of better steakhouses in Chicago. more

One of the better dishes I have eaten in a while was their black bass covered with crusted crab. Also their crispy onion rings were very good. I would go back again. more

I wanted to rule out the chains and try to experience something unique to Chicago (though I did consider the original Morton's). I had read many positive reviews of Keefer's on the web so I had added it to my short list...(Keefer's, Chicago Chop House, Gibsons... more

Recently had dinner at this very over-rated place. The wait staff would have you believe you are dining in the finest restaurant on the planet! I am not a fussy restaurant-goer, but I do know what cold lobster should taste like. I ordered a special, cold Australian lobster-tail salad. It was supposedly fresh, but when it arrived at my table,... more

Pretty standard American fare. The tomato bisque was great and the server was friendly. The space is attractive but it was freezing inside. more

The filet mignon was excellent! It was cooked just the way I like it medium rare. I had that with a Mojito chilled perfectly with just the right about of mixtures. My father enjoyed his meal while my mother ate fish and frites a delicious combination of their breaded fish strips and frites. The service was excellent. Sean our waiter... more
