    Steak and Eggs Bowl and Mocha Latte
    Ed D.

    I was actually looking for coffee and the information desk that's right next to the protein bar mentioned that they've heard the protein bar has good coffee. So I decided to get breakfast and coffee. I got a steak and eggs bowl, which was good. It came with salsa sauce, avocados, and scrambled eggs. The steak bits were small but still moist. But the coffee is not that good. I got the mocha and it wasn't sweet at all and it tasted watered down. So I guess my advice is to get coffee from somewhere known to make decent coffee versus getting it from here. Otherwise the bowl was decent.

    Love the healthy food options! Lots and lots of vegan choices and clearly labeled on the menu. It's nice to have a healthy quick option while at the airport and I'm very appreciative of that. However, my smoothie did not taste great and I don't know why if it was the protein powder or just not blended well, but there was something off about it. On the plus side, my smoothie bowl was very good. I really enjoyed it. It was delicious and tasted like cinnamon and almond butter. Unfortunately, I did not take a picture, but it was very good. Service was quick and fast did not wait very long . Even when very busy. In addition to the smoothies, they have smoothie bowls and food that are all vegan friendly as well as non-vegan foods I would absolutely try them again next time I'm in that terminal at Chicago O'Hare

    On my flight layover to Europe I thankfully found Protein Bar & Kitchen in the Chicago airport. Great portion for the price and very filling! I had the Superfood Salad (V) that had me filled for the next 10 hr flight. Highly recommend and want to try more

She walked away and then a gentleman walks up and literally asked us what we wanted. Food, drinks, what? I said, nothing....we don't want anything and we left. I understand (and presume due to the proximity to the airport) that a lot of their clientele are business travelers looking primarily for drinks at the bar. But my wife and I were dressed down and they just assumed we just wanted to eat at the bar. It just rubbed me the wrong way. We left and won't be coming back. No thank you, we don't "want" anything that badly.

    Really enjoyed dinner here. It's like others have said, it's a hotel based restaurant in Loews…read moreHotel Rosemont. Service was excellent and the food selection was perfect for those that are vegetarian or meat lovers. A few things to pass: 1. Parking. Park is the hotels' parking lot, take a ticket and drive up to the 4th to 11th level. Bring your ticket with you and the restaurant will validate it after you've eaten. 2. Order an appetiser to share and consider one of their whiskeys. It's a nice selection, they had a bottle of Bookers while I was there. I had the double bean burgers d it was excellent. I also had an order of the truffle fries. Liked them here because they were not soaked in truffle oil lije I've had elsewhere before. Big restaurant so even with a nice size party you don't likely need a reservation. Even though we were tempted to go to Capital Grill, right next door, this was a very good choice!!

    I had lunch here on my last full day in Chicago on Sunday. It was the ideal place to do so since it…read morewas Week Two of the 2026 NFL season (the Bears-Vikings game was on). My brother, three of my cousins and I sat at a round table next to a glass window that offers a view of the kitchen. We were nicely served by a waiter named Alex. It took nearly an hour for our pies -- The Classic and Chicago Special -- to arrive, but that's expected when you order Chicago-style pizza. Boy howdy, it was worth the wait. From a presentation standpoint, the pizzas appeared well prepared and baked just right. Flavor wise, I understood why my brother said that lots of people who arrive at O'Hare tend to come here after they get on the Kennedy (that's I-90 for those of who aren't from Chicago). The cheese in The Classic (sausage, mushrooms, green peppers and onions) and Chicago Special (pepperoni, mushrooms, green peppers and onions) is fresh, plentiful, and thankfully, didn't burn the roof of my mouth. It blended well with the sauce and the toppings in each. Each slice was massive to where I was full after at least three forkfuls. When it comes to favorites between the two, I pick The Classic since I enjoyed it the most. I'll add that the Special is like the Italian Beef, the sandwich that's famous around these parts, in pizza form. Before I forget, I should mention that we started our lunch with wings and calamari. I didn't touch the calamari, but I sure couldn't get enough of the wings. That's possibly why I was stuffed (no pun intended) a few minutes into diving into the pizza. I suggest that potential diners request for Alex. The guy practically moved Heaven and Earth to make sure we were alright. He refilled our glasses, gave extra napkins and shared updates on the pizzas. If you have a trip to Chicago in your future and your flight is bound for O'Hare, add this Giordano's to your itinerary.

We were seated. As we sat a family came in, another couple and a large group. They all arrived after we did and were tended to immediately. We waited 10 mins and still no one so that's when I decided I'll go eat at a place that wants to feed me. Two servers talking in the corner doing nothing What a crock. Hey managers of this restaurant. Get your staffs heads out of their butts and wake them up. I've spent alot of money in here over the years between family and friends get together. That ends today

    I was actually pretty impressed by this place! This is more of a 4.5 star review, but I can bump it…read moreup because maybe it was just a "bad night". If you are looking for a good ol Mexican place, this is the place for you! They do take reservations and are pretty sizable. We went on Saturday night which was a bit crazy. It was very crowded and we were concerned about the service. While the service was a little bit on the slower side and we were there for almost 90 minutes, all the food came out hot and delicious. I got the Enchiladas in Mole Sauce which was excellent. It also came with a soup or salad which was a nice surprise. I went with the black bean soup which was great! If there was any downside, my House Margarita tasted a little weird. I probably could have complained, but I kept with it. Pretty good size, but I think there was a little too much tequila in it! Either way, this place isn't inexpensive, but you do get quite a bit of food and everybody at my table enjoyed their meal. Sometimes thats enough! This is a great icon in this part of Chicago/Rosemont.

We didn't make a reservation, so we completely understood that accommodating such a large group might be challenging. Unfortunately, our initial interaction with the host was disappointing. Her attitude came across as very rude and made us feel unwelcome. However, our experience with our waiter was completely different. He was phenomenal very polite, attentive, and professional. He made sure we were taken care of promptly, which was especially appreciated since we needed to get back to our meeting. The food was great we got a carne asada delicious. We made sure to tip him well because he provided excellent service. Overall, our experience was mixed, with the excellent service from our waiter being overshadowed by our interaction with the host.

My husband and I shared the Chicago cut steak along with a house salad and a yummy potato. His colleague had the sweet potato and filet mignon. Shout out to the Gibson staff for their excellent customer service and props to the chef for their service and dedication to their steak cooking skills! Another warm shout out to our server, Millie! She was the best! So fun, kind, incredibly accommodating. Great experience overall! The ambiance was a hustle and bustle on a Wednesday evening. I think it is because there was a conference in town. But it gave a great first Chicago vibe/impression. Would love to come back again!

    My husband and I celebrated our 12-year anniversary yesterday and drove from Palatine, IL to dine…read moreat Gibson's. Unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. When we made the reservation, we specifically mentioned we were celebrating our anniversary. When we arrived, the host acknowledged it, and a manager even came to welcome us and wished us a happy anniversary. So it was clear the restaurant knew. Our server Alberto was attentive with checking in on us, but never acknowledged the anniversary during the meal. When he brought the check, he didn't say happy anniversary or acknowledge the occasion. We actually had to remind him. His response was, "Oh, good to know you're celebrating. Happy anniversary." We then had to ask if there was anything complimentary for the celebration? Seeing we've celebrated special occasions before, of course this was the Gibson in Chicago downtown and received thoughtful touches like a note or rose petals. Only after we asked " well, what do you guys do for your guest for celebrating " just to see what he would do or say , then he said " we only give a complementary scoop of ice cream ". Of course I know that was not true because the couple next to us got cake; however, I did say OK. Are you going to bring it out ? Alberto then go and bring a small scoop of ice cream with nothing that shows we appreciate you for choosing us happy anniversary on the plane plate Instead. He brought with what seems like a little attitude as he set the bowl on the table and the spoon, as you can see in the video then walks. It was like a waiter with no respect for us and he wanted us to leave. What was disappointing was not simply whether we received something complimentary, it was the lack of acknowledgement and not feeling that extra touch for a very special 12-year milestone, especially since we had told them ahead of time. Food, 5 out of 5. Service, 1 out of 5. Atmosphere, 1 out of 5. Overall, our night at Gibson's rosemont was less than satisfactory for such a meaningful milestone.
