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

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

The best beef barley soup I've ever had! Tender chunks of beef in a beautiful brown broth..plenty of barley. My husband and I both had the salmon, which came with a baked potato and asparagus. Two portions each! Excellent! Enough for another meal. Service was great as well. This is still an iconic supper club. Im so glad we decided to come here tonight! 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

Mother 's with my 92 year old mother. She had the soup and a filet. I had a salad and a demonic pot and my wife had a salad and a huge prime rib. We were to full for desert but the service was great and the place had an old classic steakhouse feeling. It was a great meal. Not cheap but very good quality and huge portions! 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

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.

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 food and atmosphere. Excellent service. Bar has everything! An hour away for me but well worth the trip every time.

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

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

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

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

Fabulous steaks! Great drinks! Always a great place for a special event. I love the supper club feel.

Spectacular old style supper club, with excellent food and ambiance. The crowd can detract from the experience so a weekday is more inviting than a weekend evening for dinner. Appetizer selections, soup, salad, entre and desserts are all a delight. The bartenders are true mixologists. While eating at the bar is another option, again, consider the crowd. A relaxing evening dining out shouldn't be cramped nor a rush. read more

Love Jack Gibbons it never disappoints. Jimmy is the best bartender and makes the bar atmosphere so fun. can't wait to go back again soon

It can be pricey but the food and atmosphere is outstanding. I can see why it's been around for a century. It gives off sort of dimly lit, old school, Goodfellas vibe. read more

We've been going to Gibbons for years. The restaurant is older, bar is great upon entering and have never had a bad meal.

Oh my goodness!!!! I have lived in the area since 1991. My husband's friend always said we should try the steaks here. My husband took me for my birthday. I had the best PRIME RIB OF MY LIFE!!! We will return. The hostess was sweet! read more

Went there with my wife for our ten year wedding anniversary tonight. There is a reason that place has been around over a hundred years. The steaks are phenomenal and service was very good. We'll definitely return for a special occasion. read more

We love going to Jack Gibbons Gardens. On Sunday 3/23/2025 I had one of the best Filet Mignons 12 oz. steaks I ever had. My wife had ribs that were excellent. Bill and Jimmy the bartenders on Sunday make the experience at the bar very pleasurable before dinner. Five star. read more

Old school vibes with a big piece of meat. Simple and the Chicago Strip was outstanding

Really hate to be that person but..I made reservations here for my birthday. We arrived and it just started off bad. We were seated at a table that almost seemed like an after thought or like an extra table they just threw in the middle of the walkway. I felt like I was in the way of the wait staff while simultaneously on top of other customers at their tables. I immediately noticed several open tables towards the back of the restaurant, but chose not to say anything until our waitress was bumped by another staff member and almost fell on top of my elderly disabled father. Then I promptly asked to be moved. The waitress sort of huffed about it which was ok I understand..seemed like she was having a rough night, I felt bad for asking. They moved us to a better table that had a more quiet ambiance. It literally seemed like the staff was bumping into each other and trying to dodge trays. I already felt like I was a burden to the waitress but unfortunately I had more complaints. She was extremely slow, seemed to forget about us a few times. When our steaks came, mine was undercooked, I ordered a medium rare delmonico and it came out almost blue.. so I asked our waitress if they could throw it back on for just a few minutes. She apologized and took it away....for nearly 20 minutes... the longer I waited for her to come back, it was clear that I was not going to enjoy whatever she brought back. My fiancé and father were nearly finished with their entrees by the time she brought it back to me. The steak came back way overcooked, dry and tough as hell. I don't know, for the price of this place you'd just expect top tier service and food.. definitely will not be returning unfortunately. They've got their shtick though and don't seem to really care about these reviews, been there since 1922 and still kicking I guess, just a warning to other young people on their birthdays. You won't be impressed. read more

For the price that the steaks cost this place was unbelievably overpriced. My steak was flavorless and overcooked compared to how I ordered it. The service was great and the ambiance wasn't bad but if you want a good steak for the price you're paying, this is not the spot read more
