Wildfire is always a great experience. The steak was cooked perfectly and the food overall was excellent. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. The staff was very welcoming and accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was comfortable, the service was great, and the entire experience was enjoyable from start to finish.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Wildfire Schaumburg is also quite busy any time of the week. Making a reservation is very easy, and getting in is just as smooth once you reserve. Service is matched to other Wildfire locations, consistency is key, and that's a great thing. Service is also excellent. We ordered a small Kale and Spinach Salad to share. It can actually feed 3 people, but the two of us ate all of it. Delicious, I love their dressing. The Macadamia Nut Halibut is also a staple special and always a nice filling without overstuffing. You get a side with your entree and I opted for the delicious cottage fries. Their ranch dressing is fantastic. We topped off our meal with a wonderful carrot cake, which is absolutely for sharing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Coming to Wildfire has you in a setting feeling like you're at a supper club from the 70s but modernized. It's lively, but not too loud, and a great scene for a wonderful dinner with friends or your partner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

From the time I walked into this restaurant until I left the service was A1! The server we had was very friendly. At the restaurant they do take their time and don't make you feel rushed to make decisions on what you are wanting to eat or drink. I had the salmon with broccoli as my side. The salmon was really good especially the soy sauce they had put on it. It was very juicy. We had appetizers which were the crab cakes and shrimp cocktail. The crab cakes were good. I would definitely recommend them. Prices are definitely what you would expect for a nice restaurant like this. They give out a slice of cake if you are celebrating a birthday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bathroom was clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere of the restaurant had a dark setting but it was relaxing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was chilly inside the restaurant just in my opinion.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would definitely come back to this restaurant. If you haven't been here before definitely try it out. read more

Well, my hotel recommended this place. Kind of an older mob-style bar lounge themed restaurant. Pretty large place with plenty of seating. I decided to sit at the bar this evening (September 7, 2025) SERVICE: Very friendly at the front, I had a reservation but wanted to sit at the bar (since I was by myself) and they did not make me feel weird. They simply made it happen. The bartenders, Alex and Louie, were very attentive and helpful. (Thus the 5 stars!) FOOD: I decided to get the NY strip steak since I was at a steak place. It was pretty good. They cooked as I asked (medium rare, as everyone should) and it was super tasty!! I got the broccoli on the side, also tasty. Great spot for steak...oh and their barrel old fashioned is very yummy!! read more

Went for dinner last week with some coworkers, the service was amazing and the waiters were really attentive to our needs. At the beggining they offer you some bread and butter, not really the best and the breads are cold. I chose a Small Ceasar salad, just a little extra salty than what I normally have eaten on other places. The chicken was tender and juicy, full of flavor but salty too, and the side of french fries it felt soggy and cold, so wasn't happy about it. My review comes harder mostly because for the price you paying you expected a better flavor and good quality on the dishes, however other places that I tried have way more accesible prices, had done a better job on preparing food than in this place. Wasn't my favorite, could come again with coworkers if they want to come here, but won't having too much expectations everytime I come here. read more

Weekday day, this place has the feel of old school steak house, with large leather booths and dark brown accents. Ordered the French dip, bread was soft and pillowy, prime rib was tender and cooked perfectly, paired with the au jus which was a little salty but still great. Overall the meal was great and a nice dinner read more

Wildfire - Roasted Prime Rib French Dip - American Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

Wildfire is easily one of my favorite restaurants. Typically, everything is consistently good, with outstanding service. This time was a little different. We had reservations and were seated right away. Normally, we sit in the main dining room. We were brought to a room in the back this time and seated at a table. The air conditioning vent was right over our table and it was freezing. We asked our waiter if they could make it a little warmer, and they did right away. However, there must have been a conflict between those who wanted it to be warmed and colder. It got cold again, we said something and it got warmed, only to get cold again. That was disappointing. I had a dirty martini to start, which was quite good. Then, for our meals I ordered a burger - medium with roasted vegetables. My wife and daughter split a chopped salad with chicken. This is where things didn't go so well. The burger was very, very rare. And, the chopped salad with chicken had no chicken at all. The vegetables were outstanding. They did make things right. They brought some chicken for the salad, and remade my burger. They even brough over another serving of roasted vegetables. Without making it right, I may have given one of my favorite restaurants three stars. This is not typical of my experience at any Lettuce Entertain You restaurant, and certainly not what I expect at the Wildfire in Schaumburg. So, we still plan to to go to Wildfire for special occasions. I'm certain this was a fluke and things will go better next time. read more

Beautiful dining room, fabulous jazz softly playing in the background. Had my favorite sandwich in the whole wide world, a French dip, with french fries for lunch. The prime rib was cooked perfectly, and the au jus was delicious. Very nice unobtrusive service.. read more

WOW! I came here for a work conference and this was the chosen spot for dinner. Upon arrival, the person organizing the dinner asked if anyone had any allergies, to which I replied that I had a food sensitivity to onions. Not thinking anything of it, we arrive and are put in a private room to the side. There were about 4 servers to help with our party. We got the drinks going and once it was time to deliver food, this is where they really turned on the charm. While there was a pre-printed menu in front, everyone thought we'd choose between one of the options listed. To our surprise, we got everything. To take it a step further, anyone that had allergies or mods were given their own special meal of what everyone else was having as to not have felt left out. I was floored as I've never been to a restaurant where they went to such great lengths to accommodate guests! All the food was spectacular! Everyone couldn't stop raving on the service and how great the food and drinks were. I wish so badly we had this restaurant in Stl. Regardless, thank you for making our visit so wonderful! read more

We had already eaten elsewhere so this review is about the bar service. We stopped here solely to pickup 3 bottles of their Citrus Lime salad dressing. We're taking it back to Texas where I make their Chopped Salad at home. So good! We also decided to have a cocktail at the bar. While it's about closing time on a Sunday evening, they still allowed us to have a drink. The two fellas at the bar were pleasant and made us some tasty drinks. I had an Old Fashioned with Woodford Reserve over a large cube of ice. My wife had a Malibu Rum with Pineapple juice. Thanks Wildfire - we hope to eat here next time we're back in the Chicago area. read more

It's been quite while since I have reviewed Wildfire and I am happy to share, the food taste, quality, and service are still fabulous here. It is still a pricey meal, but I can usually get two meals out of the generous portions. We dined around 1 p.m. on a busy Easter Sunday. I guess we joined many other couples and families who opted not to cook at home! Our favorites dishes are the filet trio and au gratin potatoes side. The chopped salad is a memorable dish too. The trio of filet is tender and filled with flavor, with your choice of crusts. We had the parmesan, mushroom, and blue cheese toppings. My Cesar salad with beef tenderloin was equally tasty and enough to bring home for later. The three-layer carrot cake with cream cheese frosting was a sweet ending to our Easter meal. We have also ordered food to go, but prefer dining in here so the meat stays our preferred temperature. read more

Hands down this is my favorite wildfire location. Always clean and great ambience this one never misses. Our server Emily is amazing! She definitely went above and beyond all night consistently checking up on us and was very helpful with the menu as well. The chopped salad is the best salad on the menu always fresh and flavorful. The soup of the day was cream of mushroom also a hit. I ended up with the Monday night special fried chicken I would rate it 7 out of 10 the chicken was a little oily but the sides were 10/10. This place is great for date nights I highly recommend wildfire especially if you have the lettuce eats app. read more

My husband and I had the worst experience here recently. Totally ruined our 22nd wedding anniversary. Over priced for what you get. Steaks tasted better the next day. Took 15-20 minutes for our drinks (we didn't order anything special) and we were asked if we wanted ice in our drinks. Really!! We will not ever go here again. read more

Wildfire delivers a classic, polished steakhouse experience with a menu that is both expansive and thoughtfully curated. The offerings strike a balance between timeless favorites and fun, well-executed dishes, all supported by a strong bar program that complements the meal beautifully. Service is consistently fantastic. It's attentive, professional, and seamless from start to finish. It's the kind of place that feels tailor-made for special occasions, where every detail comes together to create a memorable night out. read more

Been here a few times due to birthday reasons. And I would say it always is the same. The steaks are good, but not great. This seems like a poor man's Capital Grill. On our recent visit I switched it up and had chicken, BBQ style. Big mistake, this was chicken off a rotisserie that they poured bbq sauce all over, and I mean all over. The sauce had an off taste and the chicken was overcooked. The other two people at the table ordered a sea bass, which they said was good and a filet which looked to be well done but they said it tasted good. Service was good, the place was busy. I personally would not visit Wildfire if I was picking the restaurant. read more

My brother was trying to figure out where he wanted to celebrate his birthday. He landed on Wildfire! The reservations were made for a party of 11 for 1PM. We arrived at 1PM and the party was already seated. We were greeted and water was served immediately. The server was great. He answered all my questions as my son has major allergies. As he was taking orders, he was clear on what my son could have. And as the food started coming he reminded him that he couldn't have some of the items. I ordered sides for lunch as there aren't many veggie options. Mac and Cheese, Roasted Vegetables and French Fries. The mac was very creamy. It had the right amount of cheese. The roasted vegetables had red peppers, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, sweet potatoes, and red onions. It was decent but not great. It lacked the roast flavor. The French Fries were fresh cut and fried to perfection. It had the right amount of salt. The birthday boy ordered the French Dip sandwich with fries. He mentioned the beef was tender and the dip was tasty. The place was packed for a Sunday lunch. The service didn't suffer. Overall, the atmosphere was great, being with family was great and everyone enjoyed their food. I gave it a four due to the server's attention to details with allergies and the food overall was good. read more

I had the most amazing steakhouse dinner in Chicago thanks to Wildfire. Wildfire is a steakhouse that specializes in a variety of steaks, chops and seafoods. I heard this place descibed as a modern-day 1940's dinner club and it indeed had quite the classic feel to it. Interior is dimly lit with dark wood panels and tables and candlelight. Their rooms have different names and our party ended up in The Rascals Room. The Rascal Room is one out of their eight private rooms. The menu has an abundant of good steaks and it was honestly hard to choose from the amazing variety. I saw on the menu that they had a special of a Filet Medallion Trio and this just seemed to be a perfect choice to try a variety. For this entree; one can choose three of their signature crusts: horseradish, parmesan, mushroom and blue cheese. I chose to get parmesan, mushroom and blue cheese. For each entree; one also gets the choice of one side. I chose to get the Creamed Spinach. Our meal started off with an order of their Corn Bread. The Corn Bread was quite delightful. It was soft and buttery and practically melted in my mouth. This was great start to a great dinner. The Filet Medallion Trio was up next and I am so glad I didn't fill myself up with corn bread because this was entree was quite the meal! The Filet Medallions were pretty big in portion size. I got it Medium Well and enjoyed the overall tenderness of the meats. From the crusts; I enjoyed the parmesan the best followed by the blue cheese and mushroom. I normally love mushrooms but felt the mushroom crust was a bit underwhelming and I could barely taste the flavor. The parmesan and blue cheese crusts were excellent and added the right hint of cheese to the meat. I could tell the meat and whole dish quality! I loved the Creamed Spinach as well. It was rich, savory and creamy and paired really well with the Filet. Last but not least was dessert! I got the Key Lime Pie and it was quite delightful. I loved the flakey, buttery crust as well as the citrusy, sweet, and tart filling. Eating at Wildfire was quite the treat in Chicago. read more

In past visits the food was always spot on. This visit I found the food to be slightly below average as far as flavor was concerned. I had French Onion soup and found it to have very little flavor. My wife's filet was on the tough side even though it was ordered medium and they had to butterfly it. The server was very good as he worked the table spot on. The restaurant itself looked tired as it was dirty with debris on the floor in different areas. To get to the bathroom from the west side of the room you had to walk own three steps, through the kitchen area, and sidestep wet floor areas. Will be hard pressed to return to this location. read more

If someone who has been eating at lettuce, entertain your restaurants for over two decades this is my first visit to this particular wildfire location in Schaumburg. I typically go to wildfire in Glenview. Came here for the first time for a weeknight early dinner with friends and it did not disappoint. It was great to see the consistency not only from the ambience, but also the menu choices, the food, quality, and the service. As usual, this place was very packed and busy which I am not surprised by at all. It was great to see that nothing was sold out or unavailable on the menu as well. Although I did not take pictures of all the things that we ordered, I must say everything was incredibly tasty and we finished just about everything except for the salad which also my friends were able to customize based off of the ingredients and how they wanted it chopped, etc. This is a must visit for some staple American Cuisine and some solid foundational food choices. read more

Service, great. Food, just ok. I've been coming here for many years. This visit wasn't impressed with the food. Now the cornbread was great this time (although used to be complimentary).

Incompetent management, staff screws up orders every time we have a corporate event or traveling. Beware of staff swiping your credit card they will do it twice even three times and you will get hit with the charges. Management is extremely racist and confident. In addition to that the food at Schaumburg location is horrible. Oakbrook staff is much friendlier, more professional, and the food is better. I would not recommend Wildfire in Schaumburg !!!! You would be better off going at Perry's steakhouse on golf Road for better service. Check out my review on YouTube. read more

Tried Wildfire for lunch. Was in a bit of a rush - service seemed a little slow but the waitress was pleasant otherwise and did work to get my food out quickly once she actually took the order. The charcuterie board was good - probably would have liked a little more prosciutto and a a few different options. I did not enjoy the baked? grapes or the mustard sauce. The chicken (I think it's called brine ? chicken) was not bad - a little bland and needed salt, so did the potatoes that accompanied the chicken. A little broth heavy too. Didn't love it but was acceptable for a rush order. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambience is very nice, lighting is cozy and inviting. Clean, modern environment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Had to park far though because it was busy. Overall my dining experience was ok but the food was not amazing given the high price (close to $50 for one person for lunch with only water and no dessert). However would likely try again in the future at some point. read more

We moved away years ago and went here frequently. We really like the food, despite some annoying "service" things. Back in town to visit family, had a family dinner last night. My wife's comment?

Ambiance- you know, the exterior of this place - and the name- disguise the old-world charm of a mid-century steakhouse vibe inside. Amazing. Hubby and I went there last night for our 5th engagement anniversary- first time there. Immediate service. Very friendly waiter. The food? I'd have to say close to excellence (the filet mignon could have been slightly more tender, but I digress). From the bread, the pear cocktail, the filet, the sides - and even the pies (though the coconut cream pie just wreaked of a non-restaurant-made taste) - was just fine. The prices were reflective of an upscale restaurant- No issues with that) - but there was a fun misspelling of "NIGHLTY" on the menu instead of "NIGHTLY". A bit funny to see, but sad given their place in the eating-echelon-pecking-order. Ok- will we come again? Yes indeed. So why the demerit? Gotta say - i don't like surcharges on my bill at a restaurant. Just simply raise your prices (and you can fix that spelling error at the same time). Don't disrespect your customers by trying to hide a surcharge at the end. Wow. I mean, just wow. And for god's sake let me preserve the safety of my credit card by letting me pay at the table so the card doesn't leave my sight. Why can't you use these remote payment terminals like most every country does but the USA? read more

I don't like chains but I'll make an exception here. When you want to dine out but can't make up your mind where, this place never fails. Of course they have steak. I'm not a big eater so I love their steak sandwich. Want seafood? They have that too. Hosting an event? They have several rooms of varying sizes to accommodate your party. My sister had her wedding reception here and I've hosted showers and get-togethers in their private rooms. A solid can't miss restaurant! Service is tip-top. ( Does anybody use that expression any more? Well, I did.) [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's also quieter than most, dare I say, even romantic[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]].

My fiance and I had dinner here during the weekend and decided to take advantage of Wildfire participating in restaurant week. It's a set menu that has you choose a soup or salad, an entree, a side and dessert. For $59 this is a great deal since their steaks (with a side) are usually $50+. You're basically getting a starter and dessert for free! This is a large location, can easily fit up to 300+ guests with the numerous amount of rooms they have. The vibes are of an old school steak house, cozy, comfortable with dim lighting. I'm a frequent diner here and the service has consistently been top notch. Staff members starting from the host down to the server are friendly, kind and helpful. Dinner took about an hour and 45 mins and everything was timed out well. The quality of Wildfire's steaks are excellent and both our entrees were cooked perfectly (medium). Juicy and full of flavor, you can't go wrong with steak from here. I'm a big fan of their lemon broccoli and mashed potatoes. Wildfire just does everything right! read more

Schaumburg Wildfire is one of my favorite restaurants. Why? Excellent quality meats cooked exceptionally well, delicious sides like the au gratin potatoes. The calamari appetizer is a super starter served piping hot and never greasy. The warm bread with whipped butter to go with their salads or soup is perfect. Servers are always so friendly. Elizabeth was very personable and made our meal delightful. This visit we tried the Tuesday special which was the Turkey plate. Generously portioned and everything tasted homemade just like at home but better. The turkey is spit roasted which makes it soo good! Be sure to ask for xtra gravy as they make it so full of flavor! The stuffing was chock full of carrots and celery but light and fluffy. The seasonal pumpkin pie was the perfect ending. They had a nice cream layer and whole candied pecans on the top. For a place known for their steaks, the turkey plate was amazing. We'll be back again for this Tuesday special for sure!! read more
