Gibsons Bar & Steakhouse

"Was mediocre! Not really worth the hype! I’ve had far better at lesser steak houses! We had a reservation at 8:15pm but because of their overbooking we stood by the entrance almost 30 minutes waiting to be seated! Finally seated in a weird corner where there was so much foot traffic! Our waiter was the highlight of the whole experience, he was friendly fun and cool! That’s where the fun ended! The bread appetizers were rock hard and stale! Like they’d been sat outside for days! The New York strip was delicious, the sautéed mushrooms were over salted! It was just not the experience I expected after all the rave reviews I’d heard before! Wouldn’t return!"

"Other than they forgot our salads, everything was phenomenal!! This place was packed and never once did we have to flag down a server. Ribeye was cut and cooked to perfection. We were in a group setting so we ordered numerous sides, all of which were great. A fine experience, down to the pre meal bread."

"Open since 1989. Gibson’s will not disappoint. The service is absolutely outstanding. The staff takes a lot of pride in where they work and what they do. We ordered a few Espresso Martinis. Very good and exactly what we were looking for. My wife and I split the Chicago Cut. I’m a Ribeye guy and this was delicious. Truly melt in your mouth and cooked to perfection. We also shared a baked potato and mashed potatoes. All very good. My wife got the East Coast oysters as an app. She said they were perfection. Carrot Cake is their signature desert. Also- my wife’s favorite. She was blown away by the presentation and taste! This is the size of a full cake BTW. I think it will slice up to 6 slices. I’ve been coming to Gibson’s for years. You always know it’s going to be a great night. This is Chicago Steakhouse dining. I am so glad we were able to fit this in on our visit back to Chicago. God I miss these restaurants. Thanks to the entire team for making our evening spectacular. See you all again real soon!!"

"We had the most beautiful night at Gibsons steakhouse for our anniversary! Our waiter, Boz, was fantastic and helped make it the perfect evening. The ambience was perfect for a romantic evening. The food was absolutely incredible. The porterhouse steak was amazing. Loved every minute of eating at this restaurant - 11/10 recommend."

"I recently dined at the renowned Gibsons steakhouse in the Gold Coast of Chicago, and while the culinary experience was undeniably delightful, it didn't quite reach the pinnacle of perfection. My enjoyment was somewhat tempered by the noticeable lack of cleanliness in the tableware, prompting me to politefully request a replacement glass. In terms of pricing, the establishment aligns itself with other esteemed steakhouses in the city. However, it's worth noting that some of its counterparts generously include side dishes with their high-priced offerings, a gesture absent from my experience here. Overall, I departed with a sense of satisfaction, appreciating the culinary craftsmanship, but my visit was not without its hitches. As such, I would attribute a 3.75 out of 5 stars rating to this particular occasion, but would still recommend trying for yourself."
