Tragically, my formerly favorite Chicago steak house, with once nationally top ratings, has gone the way of too many great restaurants. Within the last year it was sold, apparently somebody died and somebody's girlfriend took over, and it has gone into the dumpster. I've been going there for the last 20 years, and will never go back. The eatery has... more

Wished I'd read about the two menus befour we went. Food was okay , but way overpriced. I'm not shy about price when the quality is there , but this was ridiculous, The waiter pushed expensive specials and we had much better meals at half the price. Save your money and go elsewhere for a good Chicago steak! more

We have been to the Chop House every time we visit Chicago, about once a year for the last 10 years. We have always had a very good meal, until this last time. The main reason we will never go back is that they push a menu that has steaks priced from $70-90, and they won't give you the normal... more

Friends took us there insisting the restaurant was wonderful. Our steaks were poorly cooked, 2 were rancid, all were tasteless, and chewy. I could have gotten a better steak at Perkins! I did not eat my food and the stafff could care less. Don't go there unless you are willing to cause a scene for having horrible food at $100... more

I visit the Chop House 4 times a year, whenever I am here. The food is very good I like the atmosphere, but I will never return. This time I felt so rushed it was so ridiculous. Our server pushed everything that was the most expensive. I said I liked the perch appetizer, i wanted to order a glass of... more

Food was good, but service was annoying. Waiter "suggested" a $260 bottle of wine, and the number of choices below $100 were few. The greatest annoyance was when, for 3 people, we ordered 3 appetizers, 1 48 oz steak and 2 sides and were told that there would be a $10 plate charge since they "felt" the 48 oz steak... more

We were a party of nine visiting from out of town. The bottle of wine ordered was "mistakenly" switched with a bottle that cost twice as much so they split the difference with us on the disputed price. Upon ordering the meal the waiter ask if you would like a baked potato instead of mashed neglecting to tell you that... more

The Chcago Chop House is a horrible dining experience that stays with you well after you leave. We had a recervation on a sunday evening and were kept in the bar for over 1/2hour. The meat was rotten (i mean literally). When it was taken away, and confirmed it was bad, no substituion offered, no apology, nothing but we will... more

We have been a patron of the Chicago Chop House since 1995. My husband and I came to Chicago to celebrate our 5th Wedding Anniversary in July, 2009. We reserved a table near the window on the 2nd floor. We chose the CCH because we know the food will be excellent and the service perfection. Our wait-staff lady, Effie T.... more

The food was good, I was a little disappointed in the atmosphere. We walked up stairs to the 3rd floor and put back by the restrooms. My husband ordered an appetizer special that was sea scallops. After, he ordered the waiter told us they were $49.00. I think there were 4 on the plate. Oh well! more
