Suggestions for American Restaurant near Chicago

J.R. R. • June 26, 2021Swanky club vibes inside but a nice patio, too (just watch out for rain drops). Wise selections include cauliflower, beets, lamb, Burrata pizza, & carbonara. Rosemary Gimlet might be the best cocktail

Marie L. • May 30, 2023Filet mignon cooked to perfection and excellent sides, order the steamed broccoli. Decor and music are a mood.

Bhavna K. • December 28, 2018Expensive but great for special occasions. We went there to celebrate our anniversary and the staff gave us great personal service and made our day extra special!

Christopher F. • January 21, 2015RL has an amazing Sirloin steak! The dining room is spectacular, too!!!

Christopher M. • July 28, 2019Place has an awesome ambience with dark lighting and cool Kong’s on the walls. Must try their old fashioned. Nothing short of divine.

Lauren F. • January 5, 2014The food is incredible there's nothing disappointing about this place. Sticky Buns are incredible. Best burger and beef tartar in town. The chefs are also so friendly! Definitely a fav!

Candice T. • January 28, 2016Great service. Got brussel sprout and kale salad from the chef Joanna Stachon. Shrimp cake and chicken tikka masala pie from restaurant week menu inspired by famous concert rider request.

Rob H. • October 24, 2015Best Manhattan in Chicago (ask for Buffalo Trace) if the burger is on the menu do not pass this up! Service is exemplary!

Nauman N. • December 7, 2015Fries with the Lamb burger are delish and if there is an appetite, get the croissants

Vicki R. • March 15, 2020Great service, loved the Fork and Knife salad. And don’t miss the guacamole with sweet potato chips—amazing!

L L. • December 16, 2011Their ribs run a close second to my home made ribs

Naywri W. • July 11, 2017I started out with house made chips and they were great. Then I had the ML slider that came with cheese and their house made ketchup. It was very good.

Gabby H. • May 10, 2013Best Chicago style hot dogs ever!!

Roger B. • June 8, 2017Best Steak House is Syl's in Rockdale, IL. Steaks can just about be cut with a fork, Prime Rib is stellar, giant Shrimp make sea food lovers drool. It's just out of the way for Chicago Food Critics

Chicago magazine • April 26, 2012The no-reservations policy can rankle, but smartly made cocktails and well-chosen wines make a wait pass quickly. A list of specials, tweaked daily, offers all manner of tasty surprises.

Elsa A. • August 22, 2021The steak was perfect! Hard to get a good cut of ribeye steak, but they got it superb! Phenomenal service, and the food is just as phenomenal!

Michael S. • December 23, 2012Pork chop was out of this world, risotto was amazing and you have to get 2 orders of the Cauli Mac, or whatever it's called. Extremely good!

C R. • December 20, 2015Terrific spot in Southport Corridor. Skip the flight and have a few tasters to find what you like. Then get 10oz pours of a few different brews. Food is also excellent and atmosphere is on point.

Melissa E. • March 25, 2015Truly wonderful appetizer and presentation. I had the duck and it was perfectly cooked.

naveen • September 18, 2011what a place! so much going on all over. start simple: get two classic chicago-style hot dogs. lemonade on the side. it's plenty for your first time.

Tasting Table • March 10, 2016Parachute serves a fusion of American-Korean dishes meant for sharing. But the real treat is their list of delicious desserts like the tea cake with honey and chocolate lavender ice cream.
