Ordered takeout from the place and my Fiance picked it up. I got a salad and added steak. There was less than one ounce of steak .078, I literally weighed it) in a tiny little packet. Ridiculous and I won't ever be coming back. read more

Been here a few times now and it is amazing! If LUXBAR were a person, I'd probably marry it. The vibes? Immaculate. The drinks? So good they made me tell my girls how much I love them. The burger? A life-changing experience! I saw the light and it was medium-rare. Staff was so friendly I half expected them to pull up a chair and join us (in the best way). Management is amazing and so friendly!! The GM was spectacular! 10/10 would come back even if I had to battle the crowds. read more

This place ROCKS! Everything from the food to the service to the ambiance couldn't be better. Incredible management. They know what they are doing. I wish there was a LUXBAR in every city. Coming back to Chicago just for this place! read more

Always top notch! Delish food. Comforting atmosphere with tables fireside or patio. One of the best burgers in Chicagoland! Don't miss their layered chocolate cake!! read more

LuxBar is an oldie but a goodie. I've only been for brunch but they've got the best steak & eggs deal around at $17, especially for the Gold Coast. They've also got a great club sandwich and grilled cheese and tomato soup. I recently tried the Nutella waffle and it's topped with a whipped Nutella cream and bruleed bananas. I love a bruleed banana! Can get very busy so make reservations! read more

We popped in here for a drink on a Saturday around 4:30pm and it was poppin! We were able to get a open seat at the bar for a few cocktails and a pepperoni pizza (loved the thick crust). Once it's a little warmer I would love to sit out on the patio here. I tried the Changes in Latitude and the Paper Plane and both were really good! read more

The worst Mac and cheese ever. Literally, the worst dish we ordered. It was super watery and bland. There was not enough cheese, so there was no creaminess to it. The club sandwich was good. Truffles fries portion was sized for a child. Chicken noodle soup was very bland and under seasoned. Overall, below average food. I used yo be a fan of this place, but quality has gone down significantly. read more

Was craving some grilled cheese and tomato soup. Ordered arrived and I had grilled cheese...and no tomato soup. Was charged for it, never received it. Also ordered a salad. Luckily this item that I paid for did arrive. It was about 75% stems and 25% leaves. read more

The bartender, Tim, has the best recommendations for bourbon. Excellent selection of bourbon here.

I had the Bellini and the French Omelet. The Bellini is refreshing and fruiting while still having flavor from the prosecco. The omelette was fluffy, soft, and packed with flavors from veggies and the 3 yr aged cheese. Also, get a side of toast with jam. The jam is house made and some of the best I've ever had. read more

Went here for brunch during Thanksgiving holiday. Place was packed n super busy because located in shopping district in Chicago. We ordered schnitzel, burgers, calamari. Food was excellent, definitely tops. However we ended waiting over 40 mins for simple burgers then waitress realized she forgot to input that order. That tells me some order control and training needs to be done there . Manager came by and apologized several times ..that was in good form and mistakes happen. I would give them a second chance but I can't change the fact that family was completely miffed and don't wanna go there again. It was my first time and dunno what the history of service is like. Just a caution for you. Go during off hours .. read more

Came here for brunch with a friend. Not my kind of place - seats were way too close to other people's table for comfort. We had a corner table to the back but even then I felt like sardine packed in. I got accidentally elbowed by another customer as I was making my way into the table. Might not be the best place for a party of 3 and over, but that's just me. You could hear the conversation people were having at close range. Food was okay, bland in my opinion. Nothing much about it to rave about. I think I had better omelets else where for the same price. I think I will stick to grabbing a quick drink instead at night rather than sitting in. read more

Get the Cobb salad and the Bellini, neither will disappoint. The Buffalo chicken salad and the old fashioned were solid but nothing special. The place was very crowded and loud so if you can sit outside, take it! Tip: outside seating will likely need a reservation as they are in high demand. read more

The Italian beef sandwich was great. I recommend trying the old fashioned cocktails. The service was good and food came out fast.

We loved everything about Lux. The food was amazing---best French onion soup and buffalo chicken salad I've ever had. Our server (Bridget) was delightful. And the outside ambiance was beautiful with all of the flowers. We will definitely be having lunch there every time we are in Chicago read more

Luxbar is my go to place whether it be for a casual drink, hosting friends in town, or having a party! I had the most wonderful birthday celebration over the weekend. Everything from the service to the ability to watch the derby was fantastic! There is always a fun crowd there and you can't go wrong with any menu item. read more

We had a great time at Luxbar, our server Sophie was phenomenal! We enjoyed our food and drinks, the service was top tier :)

BRUNCH REVIEW! We got a table inside without a reservation on a Sunday no problem. Our server was super charismatic and knew a ton about the menu. The food was fantastic! Fresh squeezed OJ and homemade food all the way down to the details. I'm talking jam and pickles from scratch. Because they're owned by Gibson's, they had the first USDA approved and owned cows so the beef is top notch. The portions are big enough to split too! Totally recommend for brunch read more

If I could add five more stars, I would. My family and I visiting Chicago from Louisville, Kentucky, stumbled on to this marvelous place and what a find! The restaurant has a brunch menu replete with selections that make it hard to decide amongst them, so we all had something different. From my son's French toast (pictured) to my traditional skillet breakfast to my DIL's avocado toast, we ate like royalty. The servings are huge, and my two year old granddaughter ate two orders of Nueske's delicious bacon in addition to her kids menu pancakes. As excellent as the food and ambience are, the very best part of our breakfast was our server Kendra. Saturday morning in a crowded restaurant is always challenging and not only did she deliver steaming hot food, she also checked on us frequently and responded to our many needs quickly and with patience and good humor. I cannot say enough good things about this place-we will make it a permanent stop on future Chicago visits. Thanks to the staff for a memorable and perfect vacation brunch. read more

We came for the double tap drink because I hear it really strong, however they were out. Instead tried the Not Mai-Negroni, pretty good. Just as snack we tried the smoked chicken wings with Buffalo sauce, decent and the Macaroni and cheese a tad on the bland side. The place gets packed fast and they don't take reservations. We got there around 9pm ish had to wait about 30 mins for table inside. Our waitress Shannon was very helpful in helping us select our beverages, thanks again we'll definitely be back to try those double taps! read more

Check them out for a great weekend brunch. We came with 8 adults on a busy Sunday, and our waiter did a great job keeping up with our drink orders and making sure we had everything we needed. Several of us had the Bloody Mary and added on the $1 Modelito. The Bloody Mary had a great flavor and consistency and it was topped with a skewer of delicious toppings. My mom and I split the Eggs Benedict and a half order of the French toast. This gave us the perfect blend of sweet and savory. Overall we all had a great time and enjoyed our food and drinks. read more

Service was great! Awesome sliders and Lux Mule... We will see about the stock tips pan out...

Nice spot. Service was really good, drinks were also pretty good. Ordered smoke wings which were phenomenal with the buffalo dipping sauce. Had a half a rack of ribs and Brussel sprouts. Ribs needed some tlc. Brussel sprouts were fine but missing the bacon which once brought to the attention to the manager, she quickly addressed the issue. I would be willing to give this location another try when I visit Chicago. The location of this restaurant was in a really cool area. read more

Always an amazing time, service and food is amazing. Great outdoor space and inside space for cozy vibes, make a reservation if you are larger than 2, its BUSYYYY. One of my favorite places in Chicago. read more

I ordered from DoorDash but had to come yo Yelp to leave a proper review and prevent people from making the same mistake I did. Honestly, the pictures I attached say enough, the labeled macaroni gratin is what was advertised, the unlabeled is what I got. I mean, this is straight up false advertising. Fraud. Catfishing of the highest degree. And no, this is not a situation where the looks were deceiving lol and it came out better than it looked. It tastes like it looks, bland and gray. I got the Bellvue burger as well and it was just average. Good enough for me to get through (I'll give it juiciness) but nothing exciting. My opinion is probably worse because of the above LOL. This is not the meal I was expecting to be welcomed to Chicago with. read more

Espresso martini was just how I like it - dark and actually tastes like good coffee. The burger was pretty good although there are many other spots I think are even better. The fries were disappointing. Wait staff was super nice and attentive even though it was busy. It's super cute vibes in the restaurant too. read more

We ordered take out the other night and it was delicious. I called the order in. Even though it was late, the guy on the phone assured me it wouldn't be a problem for the kitchen that was getting ready to shut down. I drove over and picked up my order that was ready right on time. The bartender greeted me warmly by name when I walked in. He was so friendly yet professional. His gracious service both on the phone and in person was very impressive. When I got home, I found a perfect order. Everything was exactly how we had asked. The portion size was fantastic as well. My friend loved her burger. I had hoped for more of a chopped salad with iceberg and other lettuce options. Although it wasn't what I had expected, I enjoyed my salad with shrimp just the same. The side of brussel sprouts was delicious. We added martinis made at home and enjoyed a nice meal. My impression of my carry out experience was positive. It reminded me to visit and eat in the dining room sometime soon. It's been a while but now LuxBar is back on my radar. read more

One of our Chicago Gold Coast favorites! Try to get here at least once a month, and even more when we have visitors and bring them. Much overdue review, as we've been coming here a few years now. Great location around all the shops, very walkable and pretty condo/brownstone streets, and has both indoor and outdoor dining during the warmer months. We've sat in all areas, and the patio and dining are our favorites. The bar is also nice, but is pretty tight with tables/chairs and typically TVs on so can get loud. They're known for their old fashions and Moscow mules, which we've also enjoyed. We don't branch out much with the food we have, because we know what we like. Our favorites are starting with the chicken tenders and calamari, and entrees the Luxe Club, Turkey burger, or Cobb Salad (add chicken). Highly recommend reservations, as it does get busy on prime days/times. Service is typically good, but what I appreciate most is that they usually have a few managers on duty that check in each table and make sure things are going well. Ryan is one of the managers who was fantastic for a more recent visit. read more

I was visiting Chicago and ate lunch at the Luxbar! I had the salmon served on a cedar plank with a small salad. Both were delicious as I'm recently a pescatarian! read more

YUM! Everything we ate here was delicious on a cold november day, but i have to acknowledge the tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich. WOW! So good... The downstairs area is your classic bar with wood benches, bars, and features. The service was wonderful and we were so pleased we tried to go back again a second time the same weekend. You'll be happy with whatever you get and the upstairs looked like a great place to hold an event. Elevated comfort food without feeling like the dish was compromised by "fanciness". Its upscale but not stuffy! Great for groups or couples. If you like pretzels, they are a must here! Enjoy! read more

Wow, was there yesterday on my day off with a couple of friends. Being a woman of transgender experience I never know how I'll be greeted and treated. The host was pleasant the waiter was great. Bravo for who ever set the tone and is guiding/motivating the staff to serve guest just as that, as guests. He used the proper pronouns when addressing my girlfriend and I. I ordered the avocado toast and a martini. Both were done well. The food was delicious, said everyone at the table able. Thank you LuxBar for the experience. I will definitely go back. read more

We enjoyed this mid day stop. The cocktails were great and we ordered the chips and guacamole and also the calamari. The only issue I had was the calamari was super salty. I really wish restaurants would under salt the food and allow people to add if they like. read more

1. Service: 5 stars. Loved the server because she made me chuckle and was just very attentive. 2. Food: 4 stars. The lux burger is good but heavy. I might do without cheese next time in an attempt to lighten it. The filet sliders were a bit dry I thought. Fries were decent. Drinks were good. 3. Ambiance: standard Gold Coast, a few tourists, locals etc. read more

Fun place to get a bite after a long day of work. The atmosphere is fun and lively, the food is affordable and naughty, and the staff are great. My waitress Leandra suggested I check out the Instagram pics to supplement the menu--and help me decide. And James the manager came by to check on me twice. Brilliant! read more

Came in on a Thursday around 8 PM, the place was packed but we were able to get a seat in doors fairly quickly. The chips and guacamole were shockingly really good - the chips were fresh made and the perfect crisp. I got a burger and fries for my meal - the burger was cooked really well and so were the fries . My friend got the salad - it didn't look great just a bunch of vegetables and not very filling . For dessert I got the snickers pie - this was definitely not a pie but rather an ice cream cake with a pie crust , but despite that it was amazing and huge and could definitely feed 4 people. Overall the food was decent - and reasonably priced for the neighborhood , nothing special - just your average American food restaurant . read more

Started off with the pigs in a blanket. Not radically good but tasty and a really good start. Service up to this point has been fantastic as we are sat outside. Everyone is friendly and attentive. We ordered the Gibson Steak and the avocado toast. The goal was to try what millennials are raving about. Avocado toast was perfect with the onions carrying the flavor. The egg was perfectly poached. The steak was ordered medium rare but came medium well. The table next to us had the same issue. It was extremely flavorful in spite of being over cooked. All together, a fantastic place that we will go to again. read more
