Good food. Good service. Okay ambience. Menu is varied for anyone to enjoy. Specials are epic.

Glorious prime rib and all the fixins. Delighted at the traditional accompaniments. Our server was a pro - salt of the earth. Can't wait to get back there. read more

Old world style seafood/chophouse. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The relish tray, bread and meatballs take the edge off while perusing the menu. Friendly, professional and attentive service but not hovering. Our appetizer and salads were delivered at a perfect cadence, not too slow but we also didnt feel rushed. The saganaki was perfectly crusted and flamed with brandy and finished with lemon and was seriously delicious (not the "saganaki that tastes like mozz and chews like bubblegum). House made bleu cheese and ranch dressing are top notch. The Halibut portion was huge with a nice sear, seasoned expertly and cooked to perfection..flaky and moist. The blackened salmon was the best that Ive ever had. We are watching our carbs and they are happy to make substitutions of veggies for the potato or rice. Theres a reason that theyve been in business for 50 yrs...I wish them many, many more! Fantastic experience!! read more

The steaks and seafood are good here.The bbq ribs taste old and the bbq sauce seems like ketchup.I had a hamburger on a Sunday and thought it sucked and then someone said oh you have to go on Wednesday to get the hamburger because it's cheaper.Yes it was cheaper but certainly no better. read more

I ordered the chicken Florentine and it was dreadful, the chicken was smothered with an overly thick layer of spinach a d mozzarella. The white sauce was like wallpaper paste. I took 2 small bites and pushed the plate aside. When finally asked )my partner was done eating) how was your meal, I let them know that the chicken was terrible. They charged us for the meal I really had just taken 2 very small bites. I will say the French onion soup was delicious. The read more

Classic American upscale steakhouse. Old school. Solid food, excellent drinks. Been a favorite of mine for decades. Family owned and operated with the highest standards every single time. My personal favs are the prime rib on Saturdays, filet anytime. Leave time to have a before dinner drink. The bartenders are wonderful! A true gem of a restaurant! read more

The ambiance isn't bad, slightly dated, but the excellent service makes up for it. I've dined in two or three times and ordered takeout a few times. The burgers are the best in town, though a bit pricey unless you take advantage of their half-price burger special on Wednesdays. Their Italian cream cake is absolutely killer, and the steak with French onion soup as a starter is pure perfection. Overall, it can be a little pricey, but for a small town, the food is definitely worth it unless you want to drive 30 minutes. read more

Princess Cafe - New American Near Me - Beecher, Illinois

See all

They have great food, service and a wonderful ambiance! You can go there for a fancy dinner or stop in on a Wednesday for their burgers.

Been going to Princess Cafe for years, the decor has not changed much of the years, but makes it kind of quaint. Have always enjoyed going to the Princess, you know youll get a good food and equally good service. Prices are fair to maybe litl high. But definitely worth a drive ! Enjoy !! read more

Outstanding!!! Best meal I've had in a long time! Great service, great atmosphere. Haven't been there in over 40 years and it is still terrific read more

Well I was here about 20 years ago and thought it was good, but overpriced. Tried it twice now in the past two weeks. Pricey? Yes. Good? No, great. Several dishes or sides (salmon, french onion soup, fried shrimp) were either best I ever had or in the discussion. Good drinks. Friendly and professional work staff. Only true negative was the surprise up charge for blue cheese dressing and the crumbles. $3 each. The cost of the dish should cover such a low cost extra. And they don't tell you, but they do have the better cherries at the bar. You have to ask. I say put them in all of the drinks. At a minimum ask me if I have a preference. We will be back and fairly often. read more

I cannot recommend this place enough! This is one of our go to restaurants! The ambience alone is worth it. Old-school boys club, low lighting, lots of wood decor, great bar, and the original dining area is definitely a place to have dinner. Vast majority of their help has been there for decades so that should tell you something! I can honestly say I do not believe I've ever had a bad meal here. Love their shrimp cocktail and escargot. This place still serves Châteaubriand! Their filet mignon is a 12oz. & melts in your mouth. On weekends they offer a filet & lobster tail special with both being very large portions not a 6oz. filet & 4-5oz. tail like most places. Wonderful place for dinner & by far better than almost anywhere around. Have to go to Chicago to find anything close IMO. read more

Our favorite place! Amazing ambience and drinks. Food is excellent, too! Absolutely love the Shrimp DeJonghe.

What went well on my last visit everything! Service is excellent and friendly. The restaurant is immaculate and the presentation is wonderfull the clean crisp white table clothes and napkins, and the table setting. Then you get soup, bread which tastes great, and a meatball appetizer. Then comes your main course, I've tried several items so far as I work my way through their menu. The steaks are excellent and taste phenomenal, like to find in the loop. Yes it's a little pricey for Beecher it's more like eating in the loop, but that's because their food is the same quality and taste as the famous restaurants downtown Chicago, so I didn't mind paying the higher costs. It is worth it! read more

Princess Cafe - Prime Rib, medium rare, perfect! Ignore the dark portion it isn't over cooked, it's a shadow from me blocking the light. Great meal tonight. - New American Near Me - Beecher, Illinois

Service was excellent. Menu adequate in size and food we ordered was delicious,prepared to order. Ambiance was good, quiet. Only downside was the prices. Equal to most places in downtown Chicago,a bit surprising for its rural location read more

The food has always exceeded expectations. Nothing but compliments for the last 40 years. Thank you read more

My husband and I ate dinner here tonight for the first time and we were so disappointed in the service. Jen was our waitress to our table of 8, but she seemed to be spread thin amongst several other tables with both large and small parties. Service was slow, and when we finally did get our $500 bill, she hand-wrote "20% tip, $100" at the bottom of it. Later we noticed at the bottom of the menu on the last page in small lettering under Desserts "18% service charge will be added on groups of 8 or more". My math calculates that 18% of $500 is $90, not $100. We then asked her if we could get 4 separate checks to make figuring out everyone's portion easier, which she did eventually provide, but when I left her the amount owed in cash, she came up to me in front of everyone at my table and called me out on not including a tip. I told her I wasn't done figuring out our tip, we were still sitting around the table talking, I still planned on leaving her one. She then left the check holder with my receipt on the table in front of me and walked away. When my party and I were exiting the restaurant, I quickly stopped in the restroom. As I was coming down the stairs afterwards to join my party, they told me Jen had come looking for me, all upset, telling everyone in my party standing there "she did not leave any tip" but then quickly retracted her accusation after she looked closer behind the receipt in the check holder where there was in fact a tip, but then rudely added "oh here it is, but it's not 20%". My son-in-law went back in and spoke with the manager about what just happened, but he had a very laid-back, not-too-concerned kind of attitude. I felt it was very rude for Jen to call me out like that in front of everyone, AND run after me as I was leaving the restaurant, all for a 20% tip she presumed she deserved, when in fact she was only due 18. Needless to say we won't be going back there again, and if we do, we won't be seated in Jen's section. read more

Great ambiance, delicious steaks, Service is top notch. Prime rib is the go to. Very nostalgic.

We used to rave to others about this restraunt, having been there several times over the years. Today was my last. The pathetic /deceptive billing practices they choose to operate warrants scrutiny. Numerous up charges on salad dressing and french onion soup. My wife ordered the filet and chose soup instead of salad. Extra charge for soup on the bill ($10) . Was charged for a large bowl instead of a cup which should have been in lieu of the salad. I got the salad with blue cheese. Extra charge ($6 - $3 for dressing, $3 for a teaspoon of blue cheese crumbles at best). No mention by the server of extra charges for these items.. Waiter constantly pushing drinks and tea and coffee, etc. I declined. Got the bill noticed 2.5% charge for credit card plus the other up charges. As we left I decided to question all of these charges. The half wit hostess said I should have read the menu...these are clearly outlined. Given this place is so run down, you will need your own lighting to read the menu. Dump. This place is not worth the time or travel. Food is just mediocre. They seem to feel they are above the rest for a nickel dime joint. It's not the cost of the items I have mentioned, but rather the cheap and deceptive tactics they use to pull it off. I know for sure we are done with them and will be passing the word. This is a fair and honest review!! read more

Food and service are always top notch. Worth the 45 min drive! Food is so good, we never havee room for dessert...so we getnitmto go!

A great celebration for a 50th bday. All 13 of us had fabulous meals, but the halibut and salmon were especially delicious.

Get some good oysters and learn how to prepare them. Food not so good. Had a party of 5 Not impressed with the sole or the Halibut. We had a small bowl of meatballs not enough for us all. I probably will not return. Not as good as it once was. read more

Food is delicious- we have tried everything on the menu! Hard to say which is our favorite as everything is great! Chateaubriand is enough for 3 people to share. The photo below is the 3rd portion! My favorites: Chateaubriand, filet, French dip, pork chop, and burger. Servers are very polite. A pleasure coming here! read more

Princess Cafe - Chateaubriand for 2- we split it into 3 portions and this is the third portion! - New American Near Me - Beecher, Illinois

The princess is an absolute hidden gem in the south burbs. Everything on the menu is good. Steaks are charred to perfection and service is second to none. read more

My husband & I finally made time to try this place after hearing rave reviews for years. We arrived at 6:00 and were still not seated at 7:00 but two spots opened up at the bar, so we took them. Ordered drinks and waited another 10 minutes for a menu. 15 mins later the waiter shows up. We place our order and wait another hour for our food. The Bread & complimentary meatballs were terrible. The house salad was the worst plate of warm iceberg I've ever been served. French onion soup was good. Husband's ribeye was cooked well but lacked seasoning and my scallops were covered in mushy breadcrumbs, Can't believe we wasted 2&1/2 hours on this mediocre dining experience. I simply can not understand how this place is so busy, we won't be back. read more

All good. Food was great the service was good especially considering there wasn't an empty table in the place. Staff was very friendly. Would go back again. Loved the look and the ambiance inside read more

Excellent food, great service, and love the ambiance! The experience makes you feel like you're on vacation.

Food is always excellent. Wait staff is equally as great, anything we requested was brought out with no questions. The hostess was interested that we have been customers since the 70's. read more

Started at the bar with a fantastic bartender. Sat with party of 7 and EVERYONE at the table loved their food. Waitress was slammed but did exceptionally well. Definitely going to back read more

Been there numerous times and have spent thousands of dollars there in the last few years- when they want to up charge for blue cheese and basically said I should have seen the up charge on the menue- I'm done with them and Princess Cafe- spent about 250- there for our meals and drinks for 2- Keep your 3 dollars- I'll go somewhere else-! Buh bye! read more

Grew up around this place and am an avid restaurant goer. But somehow just visited the Princess Cafe for the first time. WOW. I can a absolutely see why this place has been around for almost 50 years. We were a party of 5; 3 steak orders, a cheeseburger and a parsley shrimp. All were great. My husband got a special - a bone in ribeye and said it could have used a tad more seasoning. No major issue and He would have easily ignored it BUT for a $68 every little thing counts. This is the one and only reason this isn't a 5 star review. The vibe of this place is SO good - dark, cozy, intimate. And the service - omg. Maybe the best I've ever experienced. So glad we finally visited and we'll for sure be back. No pics included only bc they all came out way too dark bc the dining room is so dim. read more

This family owned restaurant has been bringing people together for decades and continues to offer excellent service and quality food! From the roast duck, Chateaubriand. Steak Diane, Beef Tournedos, to the ribs, yum!! Fine dining in the far south suburbs- well worth the drive ! read more

Old school staple with delicious food, great quality and good wine selection . It's pricy, but it's a great family owned spot with a long standing following read more

Everything is great, food is good, service.... Besides the bread the servers bring when you first get to the table. I cannot begin to tell you how horrible it is. The bread is hard, cold and has zero flavor. Don't even get me started on the butter packets read more

The food is pricey, but it is worth it. The quality of the food is beyond compare and you'll be taking a box home because it's more food than you can eat! It is hands down the best restaurant around! read more

I absolutely love the princess cafe! The drinks are phenomenal and the food is excellent here! I love coming here when I visit my family.

Always a good experience. Food, drink atmosphere. Classic old school, cozy restaurant.

First hearing of this restaurant in very south suburbs. I went with another couple for 6pm reservations on a Saturday evening. The place was packed with people waiting for a table. The name of this place is deceiving and so is the outside of the building. This is a supper club establishment and worthy of every praise. The food and service was high line A+. A hidden gem in the south. read more

Usually they are real good. But I went there one evening and nobody came to my table to wait on me. I had a reservation and they were 45 minutes late to seat me. I waited another 20 minutes for service, and I received none. I was hungry. I had to get up and leave. I know they were busy but people were being seated ahead of me who had reservation times after me, I heard. Maybe because I was dining alone. I'm sorry to post a negative review. But this is my only way to speak up. read more
