Came for a special birthday dinner. We had some hiccups with my entree having to be corrected a couple times, but things happen and they took care of us. Our server Grace was perfect, attentive, and couldn't have asked for a better person. 4 stars v 5 because of the entree issue, but everything was delicious. For a special occasion I think this would be a good choice. read more

We went to the Frankfort Chophouse last night, and it was spectacular. If you don't want to read this whole thing then yes, it's worth trying out, and yes, we will be going back. The positives Ambiance: The interior is gorgeous. I really appreciate how there isn't loud music playing, and that my family could have an actual conversation without having to talk over the background noise. Service: The staff are very attentive to your needs and want to make sure you have the best experience possible. Drinks: The wines I had were good, and my wife thoroughly enjoyed her Old Fashioned. Food: The food was out of this world delicious. The beet salad was very tasty and a perfect start. The flavors and textures complemented each other well. The lobster bisque was better than the ones we had in Maine this summer. My son, who doesn't eat onions, tried the French onion soup and loved it. The steaks were cooked to perfection and definitely the highlight of the meal. We got the cowboy ribeye and NY strip. So why not 5 stars? There are definitely some areas where they can improve, but they are not big enough to keep us from going back. Service: The overall service was excellent, but at times I felt like it took too long to get things. I'm ok with a slower pace because I want to enjoy the company I'm with and not be rushed through my courses. However, my son's kid's menu burger came out several minutes after our steaks had arrived, and we had to wait a long time for a dessert menu when we didn't even really want dessert. Little things like that became annoying. Drinks: This is me being picky, but most of the red wines were from California, with the exception of a couple of Chiantis from Italy and a Malcbec from Argentina. I would like to see more variety, maybe a few from Spain and France. Food: They get the big things right, but our mashed potatoes weren't good. They tasted ok and were buttery, but the texture was heavy and clumpy. They seemed like an afterthought, and I think I make better mashed potatoes at home. I was also expecting the peppercorn sauce to have a little more of a kick to it. read more

We finally went to dinner at the Frankfort Chophouse. My first impression when we walked in was that it's a beautiful restaurant. The décor is very nice, and the bar is bigger than I thought. We had a 5:30 reservation but we went there early so we could enjoy a drink at the bar. I ordered a Key Lime Martini which was wonderful and my husband had a Black Russian. We also ordered crab cake and coconut shrimp for an appetizer. The crab cake was very good, but the coconut shrimp was a little tough in my opinion and with little flavor. I will say the bartenders were great. While we were sitting at the bar there was a man having dinner a seat away from my husband. My husband tried to have small talk with him, but he had no interest. Then we found out he was one of the owners. He was a little aloof. After our drink at the bar, we were seated for our dinner. Our waitress explained all the specialties and the menu to us. I ordered a salmon dinner which came with a salad. I was disappointed with the salad and the dressing. Salad was like they opened a bag of lettuce, and the salmon was good but way too salty for me. The rolls were great. My husband had an 8oz prime filet and vegetables. His steak was good, not great, very salty and the vegetables were not cooked enough, just warm not cooked. He had to send the vegetables back. They brought the vegetables back and still did not cook them well. Our waitress overlooked our disappointment with the dinner. I expected a WOW and it was only OK. It was 7 out of 10 for dinner and very prices. read more

This place came highly recommended from some good friends. And it did not disappoint. As soon as we walked in, the shopping center vibe went away completely. The vibe is excellent, the service is very friendly and extremely professional. The menu is filled with wonderful dishes and some of the best steaks in the area. The prices are a little downtown Chicago, but it is totally worth the price of admission. read more

I was recommended this restaurant from my bf's mom since, admittedly, she is a picky-eater and said this spot was great. I took her suggestion and made a reservation for a surprise birthday dinner for my boyfriend. We went on a Tuesday evening around 6:30 pm and found there was plenty of room but I still made a reservation just in case. They left a little notecard wishing him an amazing birthday, which was a great way to start the night ( I did not know they would do that!). They did bring out bread to share. Our server was very sweet. I wish I remembered his name, but he was an older gentleman who was timely. He even ended the night with a joke to make us laugh! The inside was absolutely beautiful. I found the inside decor romantic. Between two people we spent $300. He ordered the surf and turf, while I had chicken fettuccine Alfredo. We both had cocktails too (each was around $15). The dessert was on the house due to his birthday. Honestly, I would go here again for a special occasion due to the pricing but I found it worth it. The service was great and the food was amazing. read more

We recently visited Frankfort Chop House and overall had a very enjoyable experience. The standout for me was the Branzino. It was cooked immaculately, perfectly prepared, flaky, flavorful, and paired beautifully with the delicious potatoes and sauce. The Chicken Alfredo was also fantastic, rich and flavorful, and the rolls they bring to start the meal were absolutely amazing. And can we talk about the Brussels sprout chips? Holy moly. Those things were addictive. The Chicken Parmesan was very good and had great flavor, though I think it could have benefited from a little more Parmesan. The sea bass was seasoned wonderfully and packed with flavor, but because of the thickness of the cut, the cook was a bit uneven. About three-quarters of the fish was cooked perfectly, while the last quarter was slightly undercooked. Unfortunately, the roasted chicken was the one dish that missed the mark. It was severely overcooked and dry, not even a sauce could have saved it. Dessert helped end the evening on a high note. The chocolate layer cake was delicious, the carrot cake was just as impressive, and the affogato was the perfect finishing touch. I would also be remiss if I didn't mention the service. Our waitress and her trainee were absolutely wonderful. They were attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and struck that perfect balance of being available without being intrusive. They truly enhanced our dining experience and deserve recognition for the excellent job they did. Overall, I'd give Frankfort Chop House a 7/10. The food quality is generally very good, there were several dishes that we absolutely loved, and we would definitely go back. My biggest suggestion would be focusing on consistency in the cooking of certain dishes, as a few items varied significantly from excellent to disappointing. With a little more consistency, this could easily be an even stronger dining experience. Also beautiful atmosphere. read more

Went for a birthday celebration! The service was great and the ambiance was nice as well. A table side fire for the house Dracula steak was a good addition. All the food was good. I gave 4 stars because the calamari was pretty bland. My family didn't really eat it, and we love calamari. My ribeye steak and broccoli could also have used more seasoning. My steak wasn't as flavorful compared to the house special and Delmonico steaks. Each were cooked perfection though and I would come again! read more

Beautiful atmosphere and pleasant experience all together in this fine dining establishment. Though we were at a chophouse, we loved the Scallop appetizer so much that we decided on seafood entrees. I had the Risotto with Scallops: YUM! Yes... the Scallops were seared and seasoned to perfection, and the Risotto was cooked perfectly, too! Again, rather than feasting on a choice of steak, my fiancé had the Shrimp and Pasta Diablo. Now, this was a little too spicy for his liking; but if you enjoy extra hot saucy dishes, he says this won't disappoint. Regardless, the ambiance is beautiful, so classy casual to semi-formal attire is recommended. With that, I highly suggest to put this on your list of restaurants for a date night or special celebration. ENJOY! read more

We had a wonderful dinner at Frankfort Chop House! The restaurant is modern, beautifully designed, and has a great atmosphere. Everything we ordered was excellently prepared. I had the sea bass with the Angry Cajun sauce, which was delicious, and the filet was prepared Pittsburgh style and cooked perfectly. The homemade mashed potatoes were excellent, and the house salad was fresh and very generous! We started with the crispy Brussels sprouts, which were very good. For dessert, the toasted coconut cake was incredibly moist and delicious--and we couldn't leave without bringing the carrot cake home! Our server, Abagail, was wonderful, and Jessie truly went above and beyond throughout our meal, always making sure our water was filled and our table was cleared. That kind of attentive service really adds to the dining experience. Beautiful restaurant, excellent food, and wonderful service. A great addition to Frankfort--we'll definitely be back! read more

Rather disappointed in the place. Everything was an upcharge. We added asparagus and only got 6 spears for 15.00. That is ridiculous. The steak was good not great. The service was excellent but to the point of feeling rushed. Not in a hurry to go back. read more

First time at this steakhouse and it won't be our last. From the warm ambience of the place, to our excellent service from our waiter, Joseph, and the delicious food we were very impressed with this steakhouse and look forward to going back in the near future. read more

We have been waiting for awhile to go to Frankfort Chophouse but so glad we tried it tonight!!! It totally exceeded our expectations both in food and service. Akin our waiter could not have been better. Very accommodating plus a nice personality. I ordered a filet medium rare and it arrived more like medium. The manager came over right away and agreed with me and also apologized. Excellent customer service. The replacement was perfect and only took a short time. This restaurant can compare with any Chicago restaurant and we can't wait to go back. read more

This place is amazing. The dining area is spectacular and only eclipsed by the staff. The restaurant staff is exceptionally professional and it is quite clear that the management is invested in their success. The dining area is decorated with a very classy array of chandeliers. The Chophouse is an upscale venue so please in the service of all that is decent please leave your yoga pants and jeans at home and put on a dress or a pair of trousers. You only live once so make it count. The most impressive feature of the Chophouse is that the atmosphere is lively and filled with friendly people wonderful service staff and consummate professionals. I love this place. The food is very good but it is more about the atmosphere and attitude. Tip well and enjoy. read more

My first time trying the brunch menu at Frankfort Chophouse and it definitely won't be my last! Everything was fantastic--from the beautifully designed atmosphere to the exceptional service. Every employee we encountered greeted us with a smile and made us feel welcome. We ordered the brioche French toast, skirt steak and eggs, a mimosa, and an Old Fashioned, and every single item was delicious. The food was cooked perfectly, the drinks were on point, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend checking out their brunch if you haven't already! read more

Clean upscale nice! Would recommend reservations. Well versed/educated wait staff. Seasonal offwriWide mix of people dressed in all sorts of clothes. It is more upscale and i would think that some people probably under dress. The bar was a mix of all sorts of things but it was full also. read more

My husband and I had dinner at the Frankfort Chophouse for our anniversary. I ordered a dirty martini for my first cocktail of the evening. It was served in a beautiful, etched martini glass with someone else's lipstick on half of the rim. I sent the drink back and was given a new dirty martini. The waiter apologized but did not discount the drink charge at all. I'm not asking for much but maybe at least half off the price of the drink. Everything else was good but not a great first impression for us. read more

We've been to this restaurant four times now most recently just this last weekend. It just keeps getting better. My salmon was cooked to perfection as was the risotto that accompanied it. My husband steak was exactly the temperature he requested and the brussels sprouts were so good you never knew you were eating something so healthy. Great wine selection and Service topped off a wonderful evening. For anyone who has not tried it yet I recommend you make this trip soon.... And if the weather accommodates ,enjoy the outdoor dining read more

Couple reasons I dropped a star. Drinks - waitress recommend a pear drink -- then came back to say they were out of pear vodka. This was 6pm on a Saturday. Drinks didn't impress us. Waitress didn't seem too educated on the drinks (on the menu!) It was LOUD. Maybe because everything is wide open? Tables are extremely close together. Calamari was just ok. Filet was wonderful. Brussels were excellent. Not the restaurants fault but - parking was a nightmare. Took us a few times around to find a spot. read more

We dined here for the first time for our anniversary. We walked in and were immediately impressed by the atmosphere. Then we went to our table and were surprised by a card and petals on the table- a very nice touch and something we have never experienced even at the most expensive steakhouses around the Chicago area. Our drinks were great and we ordered a wedge and the baked French onion soup- both of which were perfectly prepared. For our entrees we ordered steaks- I ordered the special, a bone in filet and my husband ordered the cowboy ribeye. We both agreed our cuts were amazing. Another surprise was how they prepared the baked potatoes. Normally, it's not a side to be super excited about. But the outside was crispy and salted and the inside was perfectly fluffy. For dessert we ordered the strawberry shortcake and affogato. Which were also lovely and freshly prepared. This place gave us an experience. A few minutes from home and it was like eating in one of our favorite steakhouses in Oak Brook. Understand that the pricing is reflective of a good steakhouse. If you aren't used to dining at a Ditkas or J Alexander's or similar, the prices may seem different for you. But it is in line with others we frequent and was a hop skip and a jump from home. We will be back! read more

Nice atmosphere, food was fair, tho overpriced. Salad was very basic and the Ranch dressing had little flavor. 8 oz Filet way too salty. Vegetables were awful, just basicly warmed, brocoli stalks about 5" long mostly tough stems. My opinion is a Meff.... For me this is a one and done... read more

Food was tasty and the service was excellent. The owner came by to say hello & ensure everything was going well, which is a great touch in my opinion.

First time visiting with a few girlfriends, and we had such a great experience! The drinks were fabulous, and the food was absolutely delicious--top notch overall. We started with the grilled calamari, Brussels chips, and crab cakes, and everything was excellent. I wasn't very hungry, so I ordered the lobster bisque, and it ended up being one of the best soups I've had. Others at the table ordered the 8oz filet and scallops with risotto. I'm not usually a big fan of fish (aside from crab and lobster), but I did try the risotto--and it was outstanding! For dessert, we sampled a few options, and I had the cheesecake. It was light, fluffy, and honestly perfect. I was surprised to see the restaurant had a 3.4-star rating when I went to leave this review. Since it just opened, I'm sure they're still working through a few kinks. The only downside for me was the dining room setup--the chairs felt a bit awkward. We sat in a booth and felt low compared to the table, while the chairs across from us seemed much better suited. Next time, we'll likely sit closer to the bar, where the ambiance felt a bit more inviting. It is a little on the pricey side, and slightly more affordable options would make it even more appealing--especially for the area. That said, we had a really pleasant experience overall and are already looking forward to going back! read more

Luke was an absolutely fantastic server! From the moment we sat down, he was friendly, attentive, and made us feel completely taken care of. He checked in at all the right times without being overbearing and had great recommendations. The restaurant itself had amazing appetizers -- everything we ordered came out fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. You can tell there's real attention to quality in the kitchen. Luke truly elevated the whole experience with his positive attitude and excellent service. We'll definitely be back and hope to sit in his section again! read more

irst time visit. I came in with such anticipation and high hopes, but left extremely disappointed. For an exceptionally expensive restaurant, the noise level was unbearable. While the décor is gorgeous, the constant glare of headlights shining through the windows was distracting and diminished the overall ambiance. At this price point, there is a certain expectation of comfort and atmosphere that simply wasn't met. The service was equally disappointing. We were seated right away, but it took five minutes just to receive a glass of water. Our waiter briefly appeared, said he'd be right back, and then disappeared for another 15 minutes before taking our drink order. It was 25 minutes before we received our first drinks. We ordered filet steaks, medium rare, along with salads. The salads arrived quickly and were beautifully presented--but served on warm plates, which was surprising and unpleasant. After waiting approximately 45 minutes for the main course, my steak arrived well done instead of medium rare. The hollandaise sauce was cold. To their credit, they did recook the steak, but it had to be butterflied and the accompanying potatoes were undercooked. It still did not reflect the quality expected at this level. We also ordered the lemon dessert, which took an additional 15 minutes to arrive. I understand this is a new restaurant, but with a $250 tab, there was no offer of any compensation--just a simple apology. When you charge premium prices, guests expect premium service, attention to detail, and accountability when things go wrong. I truly wanted to love this restaurant, but between the poor service, long wait times, execution issues, and lack of recovery effort, this experience fell far short. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend it based on this visit read more

We had a wonderful birthday dinner at the Frankfort Chophouse. We ordered the filet mignon and it was prepared perfectly and out knives sliced through it like butter! It was served with an excellent house salad and a tasy side of potatoes. Service was excellent and overall it was a great experience - highly recommend. read more

I expected more of this place.All meals start with drinks and fresh bread.We ordered diet soda and it sucked.Texas Roadhouse diet soda much better and their hot rolls much better because we were told we were getting hot bread and we received 3 different cold rolls.The soup was not hot.The steaks are said to be prime.They were no better than the choice meat at Texas Roadhouse.The service was good.I won't be back.I can spend a lot less of my hard earned money at a lower end steak house and have a better meal. read more

Let me start this off by saying I'm an avid steakhouse visitor -- Ocean Prime, Mastro's, Morton's, etc. I'm perfectly fine and used to paying up when it comes to steak and the overall dining experience. However, this place's experience was no better than Texas Roadhouse, maybe even worse. To begin, we arrived 10 minutes early to our reservation and the manager on staff along with the host didn't even know where to seat us. They had to walk back to the host stand after already bringing us to a table. Once seated, we were greeted by paper tablecloths, which definitely didn't scream "fine dining." I will give credit where it's due -- the server was attentive. But beyond that, the experience completely fell apart. It took over an hour after ordering to receive our food... on a Tuesday night. Not a packed Friday night -- a Tuesday with maybe four other tables in the building. We also never received the side salad that was supposed to come with the steak. We asked if the side portions were family style and were told no... only to find out they absolutely were. To top it off, we watched surrounding tables have their leftovers boxed up for them while a random man simply threw boxes onto our table and walked away. $250 later, I can confidently say I would never come back again. This is easily the second worst steakhouse experience I've ever had. read more

Food outstanding! Service outstanding !!! The whole experience outstanding!!! Great restaurant beautifully decorated we enjoyed our selves

Came here for a birthday celebration, ordered an extra dirty martini, had to have it remade 3x. First time no olive juice, second time was made with vermouth, third time the bartender just squirted olive juice into the glass in which it was brown in color and he ended up remaking it. The olives as a garnish tasted literally rotten. Appetizers and salads + soups came and were eaten before we even got the drinks. Ordered a gimlet, I've never had any gimlet that tasted like that. Had it remade, still was absolutely pitiful. Had to walk up to the bar in order to get a drink remade. Ordered a $90 steak that was cooked incorrectly and tasted burnt. Potatoes gratin were rubbery and tasteless. Baked clams were gritty full of sand, Mac and cheese tasted like nacho cheese sauce. Branzino was cold, flavorless and once again rubbery. Creamed spinach had a layer of film like it had been sitting under the heat lamp. A $300+ bill with a suggested 40% gratuity and every single thing we tried was repulsive. We refused whatever was going to be brought out for the birthday due to every. Single. Dish. Being god awful. Extremely hard to justify the prices of the food when it was absolutely diabolical. Stay far away, many tables next to us were complaining as well. read more

This place is amazing! It is beautifully decorated and the service is out of this world. Kelly greeted us at the bar like we were regulars. We had reservations at a table but decided to eat at a high top in the bar where Kelly continued to serve us with pure pleasure. Several of the staff and the owner stopped to check on us. We enjoyed the steak bites and Brussel sprouts for appetizers. My husband ordered the pork chop and I ordered the salmon. Everything we had was out of this world delicious. We were celebrating my birthday and Kelly surprised us with a beautiful fudge brownie for dessert. We will definitely be going back! Love this new spot! read more

So this is a new restaurant near our home and we were super excited to try it. We easily made reservations for Sunday after Valentine's Day. Once we arrived we were greeted warmly by the hosts and owner of the restaurant. We sat at the bar for a few moments as we arrived early before our reserved time. I had a French martini and my husband had an old fashion. Both were outstanding. The ambiance is absolutely gorgeous and the food was all wonderful. We had the lamb lollipops and oyster Rockefeller for appetizers, we split a dinner salad and each had the lobster bisque which was some of the best I have ever had. I ordered the lobster dinner and my husband had the tomahawk steak. Presentation was absolutely amazing and everything was cooked perfectly. Desserts are all made in house and we had the cheesecake and it did not disappoint. We will definitely be back and highly recommend!! read more
