Gibsons Bar & Steakhouse

Took a family member out for a birthday. Made reservations and was seated close to the reservation time. Our server was Joey and sadly I didn’t catch his female co-server. Both provided excellent customer service. Prior to placing our order for the main meal, he brought a tray to display and explain the different cuts of meat and lobster that they had a available. That presentation made one of our party change their mind on what cut of meat to try. The main courses we ordered were the Porterhouse, Filet Mignon, and Australian New York Strip. We had several sides of Creamed Spinach, Mashed Potatoes, Brussels Sprouts, Twice Backed Potato, Grilled Asparagus. All the food was prepared to perfection. Finally we had the Creame Brulee and the birthday Hot Fudge Sundae. We would recommend this location for the excellent food and service.

Nice, upper scale but still casual atmosphere/dress. Busy for Thanksgiving but not too noisy. Food and service was excellent. Crab cake appetizer was amazing. We were 8, 3 had the turkey dinner, 2 pork chops, 2 marinated skirt steaks and 1 ribeye. All delicious and sides are very shareable! The baked sweet potato was a small football...we ate a 1/4 of it between 2 of us. Highly recommended 👌

Had a Date night with an old friend and it was one of the Best Restaurants I been to in the area. Everything fell into place from the Valet to the List station to meeting our server. I highly recommend the Crabmeat avocado. The soup was great. The Steak was Cooked to perfection just the way I ordered it plus my Baked potato was huge. .my friend also had the same Dish and no complaints from Her which surprised me because she is picky. I recommend the creme brulee for dessert. I will go back again

I’ve always enjoyed dining at Gibsons Bar & Steakhouse and, up until the end of this visit, everything was going well. The service was fair and although the atmosphere was loud and we were sandwiched in between two loud four tops, it was what I’ve come to expect, and the meal itself was very good. Unfortunately, things took a disappointing turn when I asked to have my (very large) crab leg wrapped up to take home. After waiting quite a while and realizing it hadn’t come back, I alerted our waiter, who responded by asking, “Well, how much was left?” I explained nearly the whole leg. A few minutes later, a box was brought to the table. Since we were settling the bill I noticed a new order had been rung up and then refunded on the check, I didn’t think twice about it. However, when I got home and opened the box, I was shocked to find only a very small piece of crab inside — and it appeared that much of the meat had been removed. It was nowhere near what had been left on the plate. (See photo.) As someone who previously worked decades in fine dining at a steakhouse, I understand how busy things can get and that mistakes happen. But the way this was handled — especially the condition of what was returned — left a really bad taste in my mouth. It turned what is usually a great experience into a very disappointing one. I hope management takes this feedback seriously, as this is not the level of service I’ve come to expect here.

First time at Gibsons and honestly this place blew me away. We sat outside on the patio right by the waterfall, the atmosphere was incredible. The place was busy but alive, and the staff was attentive and friendly. I wasn’t super hungry so I kept it simple and ordered the Prime Ribeye Steak Sandwich with grilled tomato, baby arugula, and horseradish cream. Wow. Hands down the best sandwich I’ve ever had. The ribeye was cooked medium, super tender and juicy, every bite packed with flavor. The horseradish cream gave it just the right kick without being too much, and everything together just worked. That sandwich was memorable, one of those meals that sticks with you. Next time I’m definitely going for a full steak, but even just the sandwich showed me why this place has the reputation it does. Best spot in town, no doubt.

The seafood Tower and the ribeye were fantastic. Also love the carrot cake. It's about the size of your head. Service was great also. Nice place but loud if you're trying to have a business type conversation.

Got two pounds ($160 per pound so $320 for two lbs) of crablegs to go. They used to have the thick colossal crab legs that you’d typically see at high end steak and crab places. Now they have the thin ones you’d typically buy at Costco or the local supermarket or at an all you can eat buffet. Looks like they are skimping on the king crab (cheaper) while at the same price point so they can profit off their customers. I didn’t expect this from Gibsons at all. I’ve added pictures that show the king crab they used to serve versus the crab I received. Terrible. Never felt so ripped off.

Truly one of the best if not the best steakhouse around everything was top notch from the steak to the sides and even the wine 👌 and the staff was excellent if you are looking for a fine dining experience i highly recommend coming here ...

Spent a delightful summer afternoon in the beautiful outdoor space. The food is very good, the service exceptional and the ambiance is exactly what I look for in outdoor seating. The crab cake is a must-have and there is no better place for perfectly prepared steak.

Truly a 10/10 experience. You know when you walk in there the staff is knowledgeable and attentive. Everything we had was amazing. I got a Caesar salad, Australian NY strip and warmed cookie with ice cream for dessert. My steak was so tender and cooked perfectly. It was a very busy night with large parties and a packed bar but the service was still extremely quick. I love that they have free valet which made it easy to run in on a very cold night.

One of the better cooked steaks I've had in a long time, had the Chicago cut bone in ribeye. Was delicious, perfectly medium, rare, and a nice Cabernet. Sad at the bar and was able to watch basketball on the TV. Quick and attentive service nice upscale, laid-back ambience. You can tell this place really cares about its locals and gets to know people very well.

First time here, visiting a friend in Chicago. Upscale place, valet only, packed with happy people on a Tuesday night. The servers are buzzing around, service is nothing short of top notch. And the menu. An endless selection of steaks. The waiter shot down our selections and convinced us all to try the Chicago cut. Oh boy, it is simply outstanding. It has an aggressive char but not burnt taste. We saw the next table getting a cake and we had to try it. Be prepared it is the size of your head, ice cream with a delicious macadamia crust. We all had 22 oz steaks and we had no problem eating it, it was so good. The cocktail and wine selection is also wonderful. Be ready to pay $100 per head. Worth it.

We celebrated my husband's birthday here this past week & what can I say- we LOVED our experience here! the price is fair for the large portions you get and everything is high quality! The service is great, our server was wonderful!! he sent us home with a birthday cake since we were celebrating (and that was enormous omg) We also decided to sit on the patio & the vibes, the waterfall noises, and closed space really made for an intimate feel that felt farther away from the Oak Brook Mall & parking lot, which is hard to do! overall, we will be back for more celebrations in the future!

Fabulous steaks and service. We celebrated our wedding anniversary there tonight. Superb steaks, mushroom soup and delicious creamed spinach. Our server, Georgio, couldn't have been better: attentive without being obtrusive. A wonderful evening!!

This was my second time experience at Gibsons. It's been many years and this was at lunch. First was at dinner in New Years eve about 6 years ago. We made our boys dress up but found out once we got there lunch is less dressy. Knowing where we were going forgot it is valet only. We are not valet kind of people so we parked a little bit away and walked in. Plenty of room but did reserve a table for a birthday. Music was in when we got there and satellite must have gone off shortly after. So that was a little odd. This is such a busy restaurant. There are some things that need updating. Maybe time to paint and redo some accessories. A few mini lampshades were crooked and incant help myself but be bothered -lol. Waiter staff was amazing!! Professional, prompt and so friendly. Never had to think about asking for water and got more bread easily. Onto the food. 5 stars. Crapcake app was delicious. Moist, crunchy outside. Large: so we cut into 4 to share. Loved the sauce. Brussel sprouts: maple and bacon. Win I got the halibut special. Nice big piping hot, cooked just right. Beyond satisfied. My husband and son got the filet. Both were very happy. Then other son got the steak sandwich. He did not talk which means it's teenager approved. A stack of fries to share. Love Gibsons/ Hugo's fries always. Fresh but, thin fried on the max which is always a win. Overall love this place. Not a place we frequent but great for milestones.

We celebrated Easter at Gibsons and had a great time! We ordered a variety of dishes from filet mignon to the Gold Coast sliders, creamed spinach, and mashed potatoes. The sides were okay but I really enjoyed adding the unique Gibsons seasoning to the mashed potatoes to spice it up a bit. To be very honest - I enjoyed the fries the most. They were seasoned very well, perfectly warm, and although the sliders were small they were super flavorful! The service was a bit slow as it was a very busy day but we were never without water and our server had great recommendations for us. Gibsons has a classy ambiance, perfect for special occasions!

Love the restaurant! The best steakhouse I've ever been to. The waiter was attentive and helpful in selecting the meals. Ambiance is business casual with kids welcome and seems like the perfect place to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, etc. I would highly recommended coming here!

Love the staff the food the service and the people watching The outside patio is amazing and the bar is always fun as well

Gibsons is always a great go to when you want a no frills meal that will be cooked properly. We were given a choice of sitting inside or outside with the heaters, and we should have chosen outdoor seating. Indoors was crowed and loud, but that's the ambiance and charm of the place. Service was spot on, my water glass was never close to empty, we were very well taken care of and even got a complimentary crème brûlée for our anniversary! The whitefish was cooked perfectly, tasty and still moist. The prime rib was melt in your mouth delectable and the horseradish sauce was divine! Gibsons has been around for a while, and I don't see it going anywhere. The food is always well done and we always feel so well taken care of.

My husband and I came here on Thanksgiving but also to celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary. It was very crowded, but we had our reservation and we told them we were celebrating our Anniversary on our reservation. We were seated right away but was very disappointed in where they put us. A small table right in front of the kitchen door with major traffic all around and every waiter going in and out of the kitchen. The food was delicious, service was attentive but I left with a less than favorable opinion. As I looked around, there were many of the booths filled with just 2 people. What should have felt like a celebration for me turned into feeling pure aggravation.

From an ambiance standpoint, I can't believe how huge this place is. It seemed to go on forever. We went in the Monday before Christmas and it was absolutely jampacked. Took about 20 minutes delay for us to get seated for our 6:15 reservation. We ordered the prime rib, a miso glazed Chilean Seabass, plus cream spinach and twice baked potato as a side. I was pleased that they had a $12 glass of Cabernet Sauvignon. Beer was $9. Total bill about $200, so fair according to Chicago steakhouse prices.

Brought my team here for our holiday party. Service was phenomenal, all the steaks were cooked perfectly. The salads are delicious but one of the unexpected surprises was dessert. We got a slice of the carrot cake which was delicious and could feed an army. Highly recommend Gibsons!

Great steak !!! cocktails ....eh oysters yummy!!! Carrot cake Australian lobster tail = ‍ soup yummy too fries ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍we, party of 2, sat in a booth (we were asked booth or table)) .....decor =dated, old, nothing to brag about.... service = server was prompt and somewhat dry, not very detailed in explaining the menu, it was our first time there ... bus boy was very nice and polite. We sat in between two other booths, seemed like this was the row of booths for the brown lower class clientele, the other two booths consisted of older men w their sugar babies......do steakhouses do this ?? Group people by their color or class ??? Next time go into a steakhouse and pay attention to that....we tipped 20% like we always do

I absolutely love Gibsons! I usually go to the one on Rush but since I've moved I come to the one in Oakbrook . There is a complete difference in the atmosphere and service. What I want to talk about is the service I received today. It wasn't even busy and I got shit service from the bartender alki. It was only three of us at the bar and I get having regulars. But to completely ignore me to a point one of your waitress had to tell you "she wants another drink" do freaking better. Black people also have money. Thank you Cory for making my lunch better and being attentive .

This was our first time at Gibsons. This is surprising as we have been to many of the other steak houses. The place is hopping and that gives it a cool feel. The host had great service. She explained our wait and what table and then walked over to get us when it was ready. The server was nice but she seemed rushed. She checked all the boxes but just felt like she was doing her best to get all her tables taken care of. We both got steak and ordered a few sides. My husband got the NY strip and I got a small filet. He is strip was great. Cooked perfect. My filet was just ok. I expected more from what I had heard and the prices. It wasn't the best shape/cut so even though I ordered it medium the middle was medium rare and the sides were more medium well. The flavor was good but the cook wasn't great, I think it was because it was more of an end piece of the tenderloin. We ordered the hash browns, double cooked potato, 1/2 asparagus and 1/2 mushrooms. The star of our table was the double cooked potato. It was AMAZING! I highly suggest this. We didn't do desserts because we wanted the chocolate moose pie but it is the size of a football so was too much for 2 people. It looked so good tho - the table next to us seemed to love it! We would go back but I think I would either switch to the NY strip or try one of their fish dishes.

Always get the prime rib sliders for lunch. You get three hearty sliders and i substitute cole slaw instead of fries. Around 20.00. Service always excellent

Service was excellent, ambiance did not meet our expectations as we were seated in a small room where we could hardly hear each other. Poor acoustics to the point we should have asked to be moved. Food was just alright, steak was heavily seasoned, doubled baked potato we felt was overcooked and very bland. I have to say for the price we paid we were disappointed.

I don't write reviews often. I've been to many Gibsons locations, including this one, many times over the last 20+ years. Let's cut to the chase. The bartender here makes terrible drinks. I asked for my martini stirred "really really well" and he just swished it around a shaker cup for about 15 seconds. He remade it after I confronted him about it (drink sat untouched for over 10 minutes) and after I instructed him how to use a bar spoon, he stirred it well, then added an extra splash of booze on top for some reason. I didn't touch that one either. The shrimp cocktail was not cleaned properly and I found myself scraping shell and excrement from the shrimp before summoning a manager to send it back. Biggest foul was that I watched a server in the bar take a glass of water that had been served to a high top table, and pour it back into the pitcher sitting next to me at the bar. That water was very soon thereafter poured into another glass and served to another patron. WTF. This location needs a major overhaul/training/improvement.

A bit busy and steak was a little bit overdone but the staff was incredibly attentive and all the food was delicious. It's a bit pricy but I'm willing to try it again

Food was not As I expected I wanted to have my lobster grilled But they only broil It which made My lobster Tuff to chew it and Trust Me I have some Good teeth but I had to be careful Not To Choke The steak Was Char Burned On the outside but raw on the inside Gibson lost It's Magic or They are Not being careful On the grill Needs to be cleaned Service was a little But on edge since the server was kind Or rushing us I told Her we had work in the kitchen Before and My husband was a chef to make The food Good for us. It seems to me now is about how fast they serve you to get To the next Person I felt Rushed. The only thing I loved was the crème Brûlée which was so tasty. Ambiance was busy for the weekday. Gibsons used to be my favorite place to eat for The steak and Lobster Now I think Red lobster does A better Jon for less Money. I Almost Forgot The house Salad The server said it was Italian with blue cheese so I said ok let Me Have the Italian Dressing for My salad Since it has blue cheese nope Not one crumb of Blue cheese on my salad. I was not about to complain Since my husband was with me and he is a chef so he hates for me To send or say something about the food I was so disappointed at Gibson since it was my birthday and the food was so bland the steak char burned And salad did not have the blue cheese or let The Server know what the serving and not saying what is not in the salad I will Not Be coming back Sorry it was or $500.00 For 2 and $100.00 Tip Which I don't Think the server should gotten that much but it only your birthday one time A year

Food was good ! Had 14oz $75 filet that seemed smaller then the 14oz they presented like a piece was cut off. I understand that they shrink sometimes when cooking I know from experience they don't shrink that muxh. Service was good. Ambience was good tables very close to each other yet we enjoyed

Classic Chicago upscale steak and seafood. Rush street is where we have usually experienced this restaurant attached to Hugos Frog Bar. Seemed friendlier and less pretentious than Rush here. Drinks, water, bread and other requests come quickly. Lots of people helping and working which is rare to see anymore. Excellent service. Whitefish and whipped potatoes entree rivals best restaurants in upper Michigan. Crusty buttery but not served in a pool of butter or sauce, wooden plate. If I were hungrier I would have ordered the Grilled Asparagus too. Steaks are usually great also but we were looking for something lighter. Hot day but restaurant was warm about 73 in comparison to the bar about 67. This was at 9:00 pm and 85 degrees outside. Someone else commented about the valet parking only in their parking area which seemed odd.

Amazing food. Best double baked potato I've ever had. Must try their seafood tower items! Can't go wrong w the classic ribeye!! Don't forget the macadamia and carrot cake desserts. Love this place and location will definitely be back again! 10/10

I came here for a private dinner event, so did not have the ordinary dining experience, but was able to enjoy a bunch of the food / drink options at Gibson's. We started off with the seafood platter, which featured very large jumbo cocktail shrimp (very tasty) and fresh oysters. I then got a house salad, which was very ordinary, although on the large side. For my main course, I ordered the filet mignon. It was cooked to a nice medium rare level, with some pinkness on the inside. I understand that a properly cooked steak is supposed to have some char on the outside, but I think there was a bit too much char on this one, as it bordered on just being burned. Still, this top quality cut of steak was very tender, juicy, lean, and tasty. Another slight point for improvement was that it could've been a bit more flavorful / seasoned. It was also a bit smaller than I would've hoped for though. The steak came with some potatoes, which were cooked very well - slightly crispy and lightly seasoned. For dessert, I tried both the strawberry shortcake and carrot cake. The strawberry shortcake was very good and moist. I liked the carrot cake even more though, as it also had some raisins inside to add some sweetness (not much carrot flavor actually though). To drink, they have a lot of different options at the bar. I got a moscato, which was light and high quality. The place itself has a very upscale, classy, and classic American restaurant vibe. The staff are all very friendly, helpful, and professional. The service speed is pretty quick. The place is decently sized and can get quite busy, particularly if there are large parties there for events. Overall, while there are certain points for improvement, Gibson's is a high quality classic Chicago spot for more formal and fancy dinners - it's definitely a bit pricey, but can be worth it for a special occasion.

Top performer in bar dining and service! Bartender John served up my "warm up drink"... a Manhattan on a rock. Great social and single scene at the bar. Come to discover I was sitting next to dude who both lived in SoFla (South Florida for you amateurs) and Scottsdale. Small world. After a few Pinot Noirs, I could only do a shrimp cocktail and a double baked potato. Maybe not the best option for a fine steakhouse, yet the perfect meal. Return customer for sure when in Oak Brook for business!

Best steak ive had in a long time andcthe fries were out of this world great. Waiter was fantastic. When i get back to Chicago I'm definitely making another stop here.

we were in there on 9/13 to celebrate our anniversary because we had done the same in 2023 and it couldn't have been better. In 2023 to be clear. but on 9/13/25 it was a big disappointment! if our bill had been $300.00 I would not have complained had the service and the food been better. the server never asked if we were celebrating anything as they had in 2023. he wasn't sure about the menu or what kind of drinks you served. the prime rib was dry and thin. did not ask if we wanted dessert. when we asked for our check he brought us drinks we hadn't ordered. he had absolutely no personality. I asked the hostess on the way out if your servers were told to leave their personalities and smiles outside. the gentleman clearing the dirty plates was the nicest person there. the hostess asked if we wanted to speak to the manager and we said we did not. our dinner and evening had already been ruined. did not see that he could have made it any better. I wasn't going to give this even one star but this won't let you post your review if you don't. Will never go back. Sullivans inNaperville was epic the next night.

Never ever a miss. I love the consistency of this place. Everything always comes out perfectly as expected and the service is always fantastic.

We had a conference there today and it was very nice!! Service was good and the food was yummy!!

This place is epic! It's obviously not cheap but you come here for special occasions. They serve Some of the smoothest filet mingon I have ever tasted here! Fries are good, drinks are dangerously strong and desserts are massive. I'll definitely return for future celebrations of special occasions.

A great goto lunch spot at in the bar of course. Favorite is sliders but everything is really good. One of the best cheeseburgers in town

Gibsons is very consistant. Good food and they have my favorite wedge salad with blue cheese. Macadamia ice cream desert is excellent as always. Cant wait to go back

The food and service are always absolutely incredible. Step ahead of any other place in the area. Highly recommend.

We always love it here and today I came for lunch with a very dear friend. The food was great as always however our server Dan made the experience even better. As a restuarant owner I can only dream of finding such a wonderful attentive server. Thanks Dan!

The mashed potatoes were stupid. Stupidly whipped, light, airy, buttery and delicious. The half chicken was good and the portion was just right. The strawberry short cake with the vanilla ice cream in the middle...no words. Our server was on point and the service was prompt. It was a great experience from start to finish.

Had a four layover and decided to check this place out for an early dinner. Ate the bar and overall service was great. The steak itself was delicious and worth the price

The reason for my OK was even before we set foot in the restaurant! All parking places have been claimed by the Valet company - even the lot adjoining the restaurant that houses corporate buildings!!! Forced to walk across a street on a freezing, windy, day to park in a Bank Parking Lot!!! I am older and deal with spinal issues and this was outrageous. They have no right to force people to valet park. Food was exceptional ( crab cake / ahi tuna salad / lobster bisque / spumoni sundae - 2 martinis with a waitress who was amazing. Because of the parking situation - we will not be back. Shame on Gibson's for allowing such a miserable inconvenience to their elderly patrons!!! I am sure the bank is not thrilled about taking up their parking spaces meant for THEIR customers!

My wife and I went for lunch on Valentine's Day. The place was packed and our service quick. There was no pressure to turn the table. Our steaks were OUTSTANDING! What a pleasant experience on a very important day.

My husband and I had a wonderful dinner. Stacey was our waitress and she was amazing!! Great food & service

Random business dinner choice by the locals that lived near Chicago. The locals we had dinner with raved about Gibson's being amazing. From the start, I was awed as there was a fully packed restaurant! I'm a huge carnivore so the 14oz ribeye was the choice to go. Our coworker ordered the lobster. I was not too impressed with the steak as it was over cooked to medium instead of medium rare, which is very important to me. Flavors were decent and the sides we had were so so. We had the spinach and twice baked bake potato along with crab cakes. The baked potato was overrated and the spinach was bland. I was also able to try the lobster and it was disappointing. Very rubbery and dull butter flavors. Maybe I was tired today and didn't really enjoy food, but I wouldn't go back unless having a casual lunch. The service was great though! Very friendly, fast, and personable!

3 of 5 of us did not have are meat cooked to order right, either under or over. The steak was only fair and the mashed potatoes tasted like they were out of the box. The manager knew we weren't happy with how it was prepared and offered to redo it, but we declined. We asked for the bill and were ready to go. They brought us a dessert on the house that we didn't want. I appreciate them trying to right a wrong, but that was not the appropriate way. That honestly only made it worse. This was the second time in a row we were underwhelmed. It's going to be a while before we return.

Got asked to sit outside because I showed up with an nba jersey. The place was literally empty. Grandpa saw my wife and son sit by the piano and had nothing better to do. We come to this location 3-4 times a month, but this was obviously our last. I hope they pay you extra to turn people away grandpa.

I have never had a bad meal at Gibson's. However, the service at our last meal was horrible. Our waiter was extremely slow - tables that were seated after us had their orders taken well before us. Additionally, we were never offered refills on our drinks. He seemed very uninterested in serving us. Although there were about 10 employees standing at the hostess stand and observing the dining room, non offered any assistance even after it took over 15 minutes to pay our bill.

I always enjoy the food here. It is always fresh and delicious. The service was great. The server and the busboys were extremely attentive. We were celebrating two birthdays. We probably won't come on an evening during the weekend. It was extremely crowded. We were basically elbow to elbow with other diners. The salmon was cooked perfectly and very fresh The steak was cooked Medium. Extremely tender Filet mignon burgers were also cooked to perfection

Had brunch at Gibson on a beautiful day where we got to seat outside beside a small waterfall and floral garden. Quite an amazing atmosphere. Interior is also very nice, roomy, wooden furnishing and warm-dim atmosphere (typical of steakhouses) but I much prefer the vibrant outdoor! The steak was excellent. We ordered a tomahawk on bone, medium and it was cooked to perfection, lightly charred on the outside and so juicy and tender inside. The flavors were simply divine. Crabcakes were also excellent with generous good sized proteins in it. Presentation of the food however was really lacking. The $15 salad in particular were rough chopped and thrown onto plate stuff. It really blows my mind how a restaurant like this could have such care-less attitude when it comes to presentation. Yes yes, its the taste that counts, but presentation can make or break the mood on the table too~~

Excellent service and food! It was packed at dinner time on Thursday, and reservations were needed!
