Oh Jack Gibbons! What to say, what to say! If you're looking for an authentic old school Chicago steakhouse - this is it. From the dark wood features to old school menu items, the environment strongly suggests an unassuming hideaway for the wealthy. Whether you want a family meal or a bustling environment all depends on if you sit at the bar or dining room. I have had plenty of red table cloth meals here in the dining room and service is always impeccable and professional. If you want a more casual boisterous vibe, opt for the open seating at the bar. There you'll find Jimmy and his barback friends - it is guaranteed they will take superb care of you and your company. I really can't say enough great things about the food here. You will not be disappointed in anything you order. Seems a bit unbelievable, but the seafood here is some of the best in the country - I've traveled coast to coast and it still didn't hit as hard as the crisp shrimp cocktail from Gibbons. Whether you go all out and order a steak or keep it simple with appetizers, your palette will thank you! read more

I thought I'd go with the Queen filet. What a disappointment! The worst filet ever! It was bland...no flavor.. and TOUGH! I sent it back and got the lamb chops... they were better but still not great.. My husband enjoyed his salmon. We shared a piece of DEATH BY CHOCOLATE cake. Very small piece for $12. More like the size of cheesecake.. read more

We shared the 33 oz bone-in Delmonico, and it was outstanding. Thick-cut, perfectly charred, topped with melting butter, and cooked exactly as ordered. Tender, flavorful, and practically melted in your mouth. We paid a little extra $ to split it, and it was more than enough for both of us, with leftovers to take home. The relish tray was a great addition, especially the sweet and tangy bean salad and creamy coleslaw, which may be the best I've ever had. Warm bread and butter were included, too. Also included was a potato and a soup or salad. The potato options were a baked potato, fries, or hash browns, or you could choose other options for an additional charge. Our server initially told us the soup was creamy chicken and wild rice, which my husband was excited about, but she returned shortly after to let us know they'd run out and were now serving potato soup. This was our only disappointment of the night. We passed on the soup and went with the salad instead, which was very good. The service overall was excellent. Our server, Bonnie, was attentive without hovering, kept our drinks filled, and we never waited long for anything. The restaurant is a bit dark, but it still has a nice atmosphere. There's also plenty of free parking. Wonderful steak, great service, and an excellent value. We'd definitely return! read more

The food here is extremely good. I must admit it's the only place I will eat Cole slaw. The steak is tender and thick. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. The ambiance is older. But in the cool sense. The lighting is dark and it feels like a steakhouse from the 60s. read more

Great place. Old fashioned steak house. Steaks were impressive. Ribs were outstanding. They served bean salad, tomatoes and onions and coleslaw slaw to start. Fabulous. read more

Went on a Sunday 5pm. Desiree and Anastasia spoiled us with their constant attention. Ask for them! We have been coming here since the 70's and we keep returning because of the quality of food. The Prime Rib with au jus is always amazing. The flavor always stays the same and trust me that you will crave it. The appetizer was equally delicious and had shrimp that was as big as my palm that melted in your mouth! The fillet bites made you want to order more. The chicken was so tender and juicy. Seasoning on all the dishes were 5 star. I had a melt in your mouth fillet that was as big as a baseball and cut like butter. I shared the spinach gratin because it was off the charts. Even their baked potatoes and crusty bread made us smile. We are counting days until we return. Remember they no longer have valet but there is a phone number on the door if you need assistance. read more

As someone who is pretty picky about supper clubs, I can confidently say that Jack Gibbons did a fantastic job. The music and ambience give off that perfect, authentic old-school vibe that is so hard to find these days. We started the night with drinks, and their Cosmos, Old-Fashioneds, and Manhattans were all expertly crafted and delicious. You also have to try the bread and that incredible creamy garlic dressing and balsamic vinegar dressing for the salad, both were absolute highlights. For the main course, I had the shrimp and turf with a baked potato, and my husband thoroughly enjoyed his steak and scalloped potatoes; everything was high-quality and cooked to perfection. We saved room for dessert, and I'm so glad we did, the Grasshopper milkshake was a nostalgic treat, and the lemon cake was light, refreshing, and the perfect finish to the meal. I'll definitely be back! read more

I gave it a two stars so this would be a noticed. My past experiences have been great, the other night the food was fantastic as usual, however, a little put off by the service. I know she was very busy, but she would walk by the table to ask a question and barley give me a chance to replyas she kept walking. . But the kicker was at the end, I gave part cash and part credit card with a cash tip. When the waitress brought my credit card slip, she said "please sign obviously tip" and then I look at the credit card slip, and with a pen, she circled tip on the slip. I don't know about anybody else, but a high-end restaurant where the waitress says obviously tip and circles it on the credit card slip does not Sit right with me. She grabbed the cash. Otherwise I probably would've given less of a tip because that kind of put a damper on the experience, even though the food is always fantastic read more

It's like stepping into a great supper club. It had that very chill 70's vibe. Dimly lit, the baby grand piano was being played, everyone talking to eachother at the bar and the dinner tables. The bar had little white lights behind the bar and the bartender made a perfect Manhattan. The bar was busy but we didn't wait long he was very aware of who needed what. We were then seated in a busy dining room, but the service was on point. Always asking what we needed. The waitress let's just say she knew what we needed. For dinner we started with the shrimp cocktail big as my palm. Delicious. I ordered the surf and turf, a petite filet and a 8oz lobster tail which was done to perfection. My husband had the demonic steak. Our sides were a baked potato, spinach au gratin and scalloped potatoes. Wow! All great. Could not skip dessert. A lemon cream Italian cake with fresh whipped cream and the apple cobbler alamode. Yup we left happy and we will be back. read more

I haven't been here in years, and I won't be back. Our server was excellent, the bread was good, but the steak had no rich flavor to it whatsoever. It tasted like they never clean wherever they cook it. It's a very nice bar, but I don't recommend the food at all. read more

Are you kidding me? There is none better. This is the best of the best. Great steaks, drinks, appetizers and deserts. Amazing!

The food is absolutely amazing!!! The service was fantastic. Our waitress Liz was so welcoming and friendly. Very expensive but well worth it for the food. The restaurant itself is a little dark but it does make it more romantic feeling I suppose. Such a fantastic dinner overall. read more

Horrible. Got surf and turf. Service was poor. Waitress was unfriendly and unavailable So uncomfortable of an experience that I barely ate the poorly prepared and tasteless food. Asked for a carryout container. Left with container in hand, no bag offered. The booth seat was ripped. Place felt unclean. Will never return. $300 waste of money. read more

I had A taste for steak sandwich and I was extremely disappointed they gave me beef instead of steak place was smelly I won't never go back

Steak lover!!!!!! Meals were 4.7 stars and this is the highest I've ever given. Went with family so we tried the best of the best. I'd say prime rib was #1 T-bone was #2 and The Del Monaco was #3 Twice baked potatoes were 5 stars. Best I've ever had! Hands down. Cole slaw was 3 stars. I'm very picky with Cole slaw. Now to elaborate. If you love rosemary seasoning the Delmonico will be it for you. Perfectly charred and cooked to perfection. The prime rib was all around perfection. Flavor, tenderness and presentation was spot on. T-bone was mouthwatering and had the best flavor and eloquent char. Well done jack gibbons!!!! Now, our server was par. Didn't show enthusiasm, it wasn't too busy and I feel a They did the bare minimum to accommodate us. 3 stars and I'm being generous. The restaurant is not in a busy place, which I love. The atmosphere is darker like a good fellas restaurant. No windows, but visually pleasing to the eye read more

Great steaks, and great atmosphere. It's like stepping back in time to an old Chicago steakhouse. Service is fantastic, and welcoming. The food is great, and the steaks are top quality. It's a supper club with a great vibe. A little expensive, but you are paying for quality, and it's worth it. read more

Mu husband loves the steaks at this place. He raves about the tenderness, seasoning of the meat and it's quality.

This is an old school steakhouse. Big red booths, coat check room and long bar. Bathrooms are newly renovated and still more signs up asking to pardon their dust so look for more upgrades maybe. You get bread, 3 bean salad and coleslaw. Butter is cold (ugh) which drives me nuts. Room temp always IMO. All three were decent. I had the small Prime rib with baked potato. Potato was cooked perfectly and my meat as requested. I also got creamy and shredded horseradish which was nice. It was a nice hunk for a small. Service was good and the waitress had recommended the shrimp to my friend which he liked. Would go back as it is rough to find prime rib regularly on the menu. read more

Wonderful experience! Food was amazing-service was perfect. Ambiance took me back to when I was a kid. Loved it! read more

Food. Excellent Service: excellent Ambiance: excellent Price: They need professional help setting their. Prices. There may be over 1000. Great restaurants from state and Madison to oak forest.

Very good steaks. The drink menu is very appealing if one likes a few at dinner. The service was excellent.

Every city needs more restaurants like this! I travel through this area frequently for work and thoroughly enjoy coming here. The old school vibe is awesome. On my most recent visit I ordered the 24oz Prime Rib, it was very good and packed with flavor. There was also a good crust build up on the top which added another layer of flavor. I've had the steaks before as well and you can't go wrong with them either. Definitely worth trying this place out! read more

Not Happy with a double upcharge of $17.00 for augratin potatoes on a split meal charge. Total rip off! They were rather dry , Also, not cheesey & moist. I told waitress there was a bday in my party & there was no complimentary bday dessert. Disappointed.... read more

Great food, great drinks, and excellent service all wrapped up in a classic supper club atmosphere

Went searching for a nice vintage neighborhood restaurant and came across this place which has been there for over 80 years!! Definitely tucked away where only the locals can find. Place has plenty of parking. The restaurant itself is very vintage on the inside. Feels like a scene from a Robert DeNiro and Joe Pesci movie! Great atmosphere! Hostess was very friendly. Our server Liz was friendly as well and very helpful since we had never been here. She gave us a full run through of the menu and all the signature items. Their main signature dish was steak. Menu has a nice variety of options. We ordered like 4 different entrees. Delmonico Steak - was HUGE! 32 ozs with a butter garlic that came on top. The quality of the meat was a very HIGH grade but it lack favor and needed more seasoning. King Prime Rib - was even MORE HUGE!! This entree was my favorite of all the food we got. The Ajou definitely helped to make sure the favor was good. It was cooked perfectly. And did I mention it is HUGE! 64 ozs!!! Fried Chicken - this was my least favorite dish. It didn't really have any favor at all. We also ordered Spinach Au gratin potatoe Mushrooms Grilled onions Mashed potatoes Spinach & Au Gratin potatoes were the only ones that I would recommend. We also ordered oysters Roc & Buffalo shrimp. Oysters were good. Shrimp were tasty as well. The restaurant make all the salad dressing. And lastly...the chocolate cake. Was amazing! One of the best dessert cakes I've had! read more

The dining room is dark and large, divided into sections. Shrimp De Johne was very light on garlic. We ordered it as an appetizer. Martinis are steakhouse sizes. Very limited wine list. We arrived at 5:30. Ordered about 6:30 pm and discovered they were out of prime rib. Mushroom soup was tasty but tight on mushrooms. The meat entrees were all monstrous except for wee filet and one other. Delmonico was tasty but seemed to be a little fatty.. Meat came out hot. Sides were lukewarm or less. Waitstaff is uneven. Bus staff were on top of table but waitstaff were spotty in attention to the table. Overall meal was good but pricey. Not sure we would return. read more
