Always have a reservation on hand here. Wildfire Oak Brook is always busy! Coming and checking in is easy. There's so much room and the restaurant is quite lively. Our service was well paced and we had a wonderful server. We started out with drinks and went ahead to order. Their salads are very much so made to share. They have sides but the value for sharing is better. Any entree ordered comes with a side, which is great. I get very tired of these à la carte style menus at these prices. We shred a Greek Salad small, enough for two-three people. I also ordered the Romanian Skirt Steak and a side of Cottage Fries. The steaks are always cooked to my liking and have plenty of juice. The onions at a great sweetness and is delicious. The cottage fries are great, and the ranch accompanied with it is delicious. It's a bit salty, I do think Wildfire is heavy handed on the salt. They packed our food in containers, which is great. At a restaurant like this, I expect it to be packed for me, especially when I have juicy meals. The service is great and friendly and the food is delicious. read more

On the final day of the conference workshop at Oak Brook my colleagues and I were able to have lunch brought by Wildfire and I thought this was an excellent way to end off the week! The catering setup included sandwiches that allowed each attendee to quickly get their food and enjoy during the completion of the remaining session. I ultimately ended up going with the Turkey Sandwich with Cheese, Lettuce & Avocado and found that it was very good. Each ingredient in the sandwich tasted like they had been freshly prepared, and the combination of the flavors from the turkey and avocado were perfect to provide a nice taste contrast for the sandwich! It was delicious! The sandwich included chips and a chocolate chip cookie as an additional portion of each meal. The cookie was a great add on and wonderful treat with the lunch. It added the final touch of sweetness to end the meal on a Friday! Wildfire's catering was fantastic. They offered a very good, quality sandwiches. All items were prepared in each individual box or a separate bag for the catering order! Next time, I'll have to try eating at the Wildfire restaurant the next time I'm in the Chicago area! read more

Afternoon lunch around the beginning of the year. This place was pretty busy for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. Our reservation allowed us to be seated promptly. I've been here a few times, but I was unaware there were dining rooms. We were seated in one of the dining rooms, in a booth, near the window. An ideal seating choice. Our waitress was friendly, while offering suggestions and answering questions. The Food: Appetizer: Calamari. Entrees: Porterhouse, medium well, Planked Salmon with mashed potatoes for the sides. All the food was excellent. The steak and salmon were prepared perfectly. You couple this with cozy seating and excellent service, and you have the makings of a memorable dining experience.......There was no room for dessert......We'll definitely become repeat customers. read more

We came here for a group dinner and were really impressed with both the food and the service. The staff were fast, efficient, clean, quiet, and super helpful everything ran so smoothly. The room was set up perfectly for our group, and there was so much food to go around! We loved the variety and flavor of each dish, and everyone left happy (and full!). Highly recommend this spot for large group dinners or celebrations they make it easy and enjoyable from start to finish. read more

Had a girls holiday dinner here. They have a separate GF menu. The service was good in the beginning but she had a lot of tables and didn't come back for quite awhile at the end. We ordered drinks and I started with the GF French onion soup. The crostini was a bit hard for my liking but the soup itself was good. For my entree I ordered a GF salad and au gratin potatoes. All of our food came out but I didn't receive my side. Our server came around towards the end and I asked for if my side was still coming. She brought it right away but we were pretty much done with our food. I opted for berry crumble for dessert and it was delicious. All my food also came out with an allergy stick for awareness. read more

Hey Yelpers, today the wifey and I slid to Wildlife Oak Brook. My wife has been dying to come here. We got there in the afternoon about a half hour after they opened. I liked the look of the restaurant nice steakhouse vibes. We ordered the Calamari to start. It was prepared properly! Nice crunch and very tender. Seasoned nicely and tasted fresh. Calamari is a basic appetizer that shouldn't be difficult and the nailed it. 7.5/10 My wife had the lemon pepper chicken breast. It had a nice char on it and it was very flavorful and tender! She had the BBQ rubbed sweet potato for her side and that sweet spud was delicious! Nice sweetness from the brown sugar and cinnamon also very flavorful She enjoyed it. 8/10 for the meal. Now for my food. I got the BBQ rib/chicken combo with fries. Although the chicken was pretty good it wasn't grilled. It had a cooked in the oven taste it. Not bad but I wouldn't get it again. The ribs were DEFINITELY oven prepared. And they were tender but not the flavor I was looking for. I didn't enjoy them. That was my fault for ordering BBQ instead of a steak. I'll give the chicken 6/10 & the ribs 3/10. Our server was nice but she wasn't attentive. The service was Med at best. 5/10. Maybe we'll return , maybe not. Remember Yelpers ALL REVIEWS ARE SUBJECTIVE! read more

Tonight our family celebrated my husband and I's wedding anniversary. We did the same last year as well. We ordered a variety of items on the menu and the star of the note was the pork chops. We also had the skirt steak, prime rib sandwhich and the whole branzino. We were also gifted with a flourless chocolate cake to celebrate our anniversary. Fermin was our server and was awesome the entire meal. The service is always great - quick and efficient! We will come back to celebrate for our other occasions! read more

My friend had a holiday party here and the food was great. Staff was decent. We were seated in a decent size room to accommodate the party, and everything ran smoothly based on my experience. Even though I arrived late the staff quickly assisted with taking my order etc. I loved the red sangria and really enjoyed the Cedar-Planked Salmon and the Loaded Giant Baked Potato! Overall, I had a good time and enjoyed the food. Now, this place is located in the Oakbrook Mall and I had to go up a few stairs outside to get to the restaurant. As for the ambiance as a I walked through the restaurant the noise was pretty loud, however, once in the room it was pretty quiet. read more

My wife and I went to Wildfire in Oakbrook on Saturday evening. 1. Soon as we sat down we noticed the two small bread plates on the table for placing bread slices were dirty with gravy smuges. 2. We ordered Cabernet house wine $14 a glass and it had a bad taste like old cheap wine. 3. My wife's steak medallions trio were barely warm. My sea bass was really hot. 4. My roasted side vegetables were soggy limp slimy and drippy but the string beans that came with the sea bass were hard as a rock. Service and everything else was good. read more

My coconut shrimp and roasted market veggies were good and tasty, but nothing too spectacular for me to cause a raving storm about. The restaurant had a nice feel and ambiance to it.

I love going here for my birthday. I think they have great food that i genuinely make a noise to when taking a bite. I really enjoy the filet due to the cut and how the texture is, but if you like other steaks, they are amazing as well. So good, would really recommend. Also!! I've been to wildfire before and tried their potatoes. If you like crispy, get the country style. If you like fancy and with a bit of cheese and milky, get the au gratin. If you like a regular one, get the baked potato. I'm a potato girl so I figured it out lol. It is expensive so do it like I do for my birthday or anniversary. Steak was fire ngl read more

The first French dip I received was hard and way overcooked! There was hardly any meat in it. The bartender was kind enough to ordered a second one. This one looked a little better but it was still dry! Portillos is definitely better and much cheaper. This is my second bad experience at this location and there will not be a third one. This is a 3.5 star location. They need a new management team. read more

C and I enjoyed our Thanksgiving dinner here yesterday early evening. Great service. Awesome service team in perfect coordination. Busy ambiance ,but good vibes. Tasty food, as usual.

Food was pretty good. Service was better. Daniel C was an amazing server. The vibe was very elegant laid back.

I had a business lunch at Wildfire. I went in without high expectations; after all - it is in a mall. Yet... it was a great place for a business lunch. What I liked about the place is very attentive service and some relatively unique offerings. For lunch, there was an option for 2 3-ounce filet mignon steaks - which made for a good size and each provided a different spread on top for a different taste. Service was great; water was refilled regularly and questions were easily answered. It was quiet enough where we could focus on our business. read more

Great food, amazing classic Wildfire atmosphere, and good service. We went for a Friday lunch and the place was packed but the service was still really good or waitress was Ashley D and she took care of us from the moment we. got there until we left. The steaks we got were amazing, as were the cottage potatoes and the au gratin. The Caesar salad was tasty, but what you can to finish it there as it doesn't travel as well as you would hope or at least as well as I had hoped. They have Coke products, not Pepsi and the bar seems to be pretty well stocked although I must say when I went, I was served a gin and tonic with a lime that looked like it had must've been cut during the Reagan administration. When we mentioned the issue to our server she took care of it right away. And save room for dessert! The key lime pie is great, even better than the one they serve at fellow lettuce entertain you joint L woods. read more

I've been to this Wildfire on many occasions and they've been pretty consistent over the years. I always and mean always get their cedar planked salmon, which is glazed in a sweet sauce and their red skinned mash potatoes, for some reason this time around things were off. When my food came out, my mash potatoes were cold. I had to send them back. Not sure why because it wasn't crowded so food should be easily made to order and not sitting waiting to be re-heated. My salmon was Ok, but the flavor just wasn't what I've had in the past and the martini I absolutely think is one of the best flavors I've tasted was super weak. It was so weak I asked for another shot of vodka just so the martini could taste like a drink and not juice. Not sure what was going on, but this visit was one of my worst. read more

Everything that crossed my lips was delicious. It was Friday evening around 7:00 pm and they were busy but service was moving like a well oiled machine. We had the 20 oz ribeye, French onion soup, Cesar salad, gigantic twice baked potato, fresh soft pillowy onion rolls and an amazing drink called the Sweet Heat Rita. The ribeye was tender, juicy and succulent but it had an excellent char. I was impressed with Colleen our wait staff she fussed over us and made us feel like royalty. Dinner for 2 was approximately 175 with tip included, but it was worth every penny the ribeye steaks were amazing! I will return to try their salmon and their mushroom crusted pork chops. read more

This was such an underrated lunch. I came by on a Wednesday right before a meeting for a quick bite. It was busy but I guess that should've been a sign of how good their lunch menu was. As soon as I sat down, they offered their onion bread and when we annihilated it, they offered to more. I ended up going for the French dip prime rib sandwich. Nothing too heavy and something that was quick and easy. It took longer than anticipated but it was definitely worth the wait! The brioche bread really makes the sandwich. It was nicely toasted and the prime rib was so tender. The au jus was so flavorful and everything just went really well. I think I will need to check out the lunch menu here more often! read more

Am I the last of my foodie buddies to try this place? The menu is simply too expansive--jack of all trades = master of none! It was ok but not great. ROASTED PRIME RIB FRENCH DIP for $26.95! It was classically prepared; thinly sliced prime rib, au jus, horseradish cream sauce and very good but I can get this anywhere for $15.00. Vibrant atmosphere and friendly service was a plus. read more

Celebrated a birthday at Wildfire. They were very accommodating to our reservation of 8. Service was great and food was amazing. The Greek salad is a meal in itself.

I'll start off by saying, I'm really surprised at the number of low reviews. I was expecting the restaurant to have 4+ stars. My experience was great, but this was with the private catering service. I celebrated my mother's 70th birthday surprise party. I started the planning in late December. The event planners were great. My party had 23 guests and we used the Savoy room. The event planners answered all of my questions, and I had plenty. As questions came up, I was able to message them and I would receive an answer almost immediately, and on the weekends, I only had to wait 30 mins to an hour tops! With the event planning service, they had a portal where the documents, contracts, payment deposit, and online discussion were maintained. This helped streamline a lot of the tasks. The event was on a Sunday in April at 11am - 3pm. I knew how crazy parking can be at Oakbrook Center Mall, so I got there at 10:15, and I informed all my guests to promptly arrive at 11am; plus they needed to get there before my mom. :-) For all the late arrivals, they had to deal with the parking issues, but that was on them, not me. LOL! Also a lot of the guests were seniors with previous knee, hip and back surgeries - so I informed them not to park where the restaurants are, but behind the Neiman Marcus. Otherwise, they would have to climb a lot of stairs! That was the best accessible option. I wish there was an elevator available through the Beatrix restaurant; but oh well! When I arrived early, I was able to add my decorations and wait for my guests and mom to arrive. The host was fabulous - super duper attentive, and also provided options for those guests who had food allergies. Since I was in charge of the food planning, everything was delicious. We had Grilled Pepperoni Flatbread, Mediterranean Chicken Skewers, Spit-Roasted Herb Chicken, Barbecued Baby Back Ribs, Cedar-Planked Salmon, Red Skin Mashed Potatoes, and Roasted Market Vegetables. All of that for $36.95 per person (price at the time of my contract) with a minimum of $800 wasn't bad at all!! Everyone had a great time and experience, and my mom was super surprised. That was the best part about the entire day! read more

Before my daughter left home from college, she asked "can we go to wildfire?" Of course we said yes because we all love it. All of the steaks were cooked on point and were delicious!

Sadly this Saturday visit was disappointing. An hour long wait should have been our first clue to go somewhere else. After an hour when I didn't get the text we came back to make sure we didn't miss a text. They admitted they didn't send the text but still needed more time to clear off tables. We were seated and the waitress was fast with drinks and taking orders. After that was the downfall. Food took much longer than expected. We had to ask for refill on bread and drinks. New York stop was so salty! The Bone in Rib eyes were lacking any-type of flavor and they were so tough. The only dish that was good was the Atlantic Cod. It was recommended and very good. We didn't complain at the time because our waitress wasn't seen until we asked for the check. The busboy (man) asked if we needed to go boxes. He came by much more than our waitress. She never asked us if everything was fine. Plus we other plans right after that we were running late for. read more

Having thought the restaurant week menu looked great for the price, I gave this place a shot. The restaurant was super busy and loud, but luckily, we were seated on the side dining area, which was manageable. French onion rolls are served to the table first. These were actually pretty favorable and had a nice texture. The only thing that could have been better is that they were heated. The first dish I received was a Ceasar salad. The dressing is made in-house, which is a plus for any restaurant that does this. The only thing that could have been better is if more of the dressing was used to coat the salad. It left me wanting more flavor overall. I chose the parmesan encrusted New York strip and sweet potato for my main dish. While the sweet potato was great, the steak was not. I did order it medium well, but what I received was more like charcoal in appearance. I don't normally like to complain about food, but after eating a few bites, I couldn't go any further. I was convinced to say something and showed the waiter how black the steak was. From here, the experience went downhill. The waiter looked at it, looked confused, and said "well you did order medium well." He did take it from me, but it seemed to be reluctantly. It was a manager, I believe, who brought out the newly made steak. However, he also brought out a whole new sweet potato as well, which was never the problem. The manager seemed angry, placed the steak in front of me, and proceeded to basically demand I cut it in front of him. I said, "It already looks better, so I'm sure it's fine." He still demanded that I cut it and stood over me condescendingly until I did. This was very unprofessional and unpleasant for any dining experience. I also got the key lime pie for dessert. It had a nice crust and strong lime flavor. Texture was as expected, and there was nothing wrong with this dish. It was also my birthday dinner and I got a chocolate brownie, I think. The texture was mouse like, but it looked like a brownie. Either way, it was a lot too sweet for my liking, but I appreciated it nonetheless. I appreciated that they wanted to correct the steak, but I can and won't accept being treated like a child or like I was lying. They saw the steak, and I had pictures that showed the difference. The second steak was great, and I wish it was the first one I received. This place would have got a much better rating from me if this didn't happen this way. read more

The restaurant is located on the second floor of the restaurants in the Oakbrook mall. Parking can get difficult especially during dinner time. On Friday night, there were many parties waiting. We made reservations before we headed over and were seated without a wait. The restaurant is a bit dark and loud. It's very casual and most people are in jeans. It's quite big inside with lots of seating available. The tables are also placed a bit too close to each other. We had to try their $59 restaurant week deal, which included a soup or salad, entree, and dessert. They served bread and butter, which I wished was warm. I chose the shrimp and crab bisque to start and it was great. It had good flavor and lots of minced vegetables, shrimp, and crab in it. For entree, I had to try their 16oz prime rib of beef. I was very disappointed by the small amount of au jus that it was served with. The prime rib was perfectly medium rare, but lacked flavor. I appreciated that there wasn't too much fat and the side of market vegetables was good. Considering the regular price of their prime rib, the restaurant week deal was worth it. For dessert, I had their seasonal chocolate creme pie. I agree with a previous reviewer that this a mid-tier steakhouse. Overall mid service and quality. I'm glad I got to try, but will not return. read more

Wildfire Oakbrook is located in the upper level of the Oak Brook mall center. Parking can be tough however they do offer vallet. I was here with a group of 5 for dinner and we were seated once 50% of our party was there. Thankfully 3 of us got there around the same time and were seated right away. We were seated in a smaller room around the corner of the bathrooms. The atmosphere is kind of a combo of old school Italian and speak easy. Wood/brown decor throughout and diminish lighting. They also had Christmas lights up which was a nice touch for the holiday season. Our server was kind, friendly and the perfect amount of attentive. Our drinks were always full and our food was timed out well. I'm not a steak snob by any means but I trust my palette and loooove the filet mignon from here. It was cooked to perfection - juicy, tender, flavorful and oh so yummy! I had mashed potatoes and lemon broccoli for my sides and left with a very satisfied and maybe ate too much stomach, haha. My groups experience here was great, it was a nice dinner outing and I'm looking forward to more steak dinners at Wildfire in the future. read more

One of my staples for steak and or seafood, fish. Always good steaks well seasoned, nice staff conveniently near shopping at Oakbrook.

We went to Wildfire for Sunday lunch during Restaurant Week in January 2026. The restaurant featured a pre fixe lunch menu with starter and main course for $30. The environment was friendly and inviting and we struck up a conversation with other dinners easily. First our waiter Kesha was a star, friendly and attentive. Our table started with the Bison Meatball appetizer (not on the pre fixe menu so an additional $15, we also added a side of freshly made cornbread at $9). I went with the Shrimp & Crab Bisque for my pre fixe starter, which I found excellent. Others had the Spinach Salad and Ceasar Salad. My main was the Bison burger Deluxe,  an excellent choice; it was tender and flavorful,  they did have an aioli on the bun but just enough to create a barrier from the bun becoming soggy from the juicy burger. My husband went with the Grilled Faroe Island Salmon which he informed me was a special treat and not available everywhere. My friend had the Blackened Swordfish Sandwich. Another tasty choice.  We end up with some chocolate cake and ice cream. read more

I hadn't been to Wildfire in a long time and it didn't disappoint. The crab cakes were delicious and the sauce that comes with them is perfect. The calamari were perfectly breaded and not salty. My meal was a special, the Parmesan crusted cod, and it was the best cod I've had in a while. Our server Jay was attentive to our large party and the service was quick. The only thing is that the seating was tight, even in the bar area with the high tops. Overall, I will return sooner rather than later. read more

Party of two. Friday lunch hoping not to make a reservation and got lucky. Although it was still packed in seating area. The bar area with high tops had plenty space to sit. We came at 1:30. So I would imagine 12-1 would be better to make reservations. I got an old fashioned and it was very very strong but they made it a little sweeter like I asked and it was perfect. I ordered the macadamia encrusted halibut $32. Perfect portion. It's such a heavy duty fish so the piece for lunch was just right. Cooked to a soft perfection, came out piping hot, salted just right. The lemon butter sauce was light and made a nice marriage with the fish. It came with asparagus and I ordered the fries in the side. May I add the fries were fresh cut and fried to how I love. Extra soft and hot but a tad bit brown and sea salt sprinkled on top. Our server was so sweet and water was filled constantly. Setting is dim and relaxing. Bathrooms are nice and clean. Overall happy I finally got in. Be prepared to pay more than the above for dinner. So lunch is a nice start. read more
