Professor Pizza Will Replace Roots in Old Town | Eater Chicago

"A longtime steakhouse that operated in the Victorian building on the site from 1962 until 1997; the 1872-built structure is tied to local lore, reportedly survived the Great Chicago Fire and was said to have hosted seances on its second floor." - Ashok Selvam

I was disappointed by the amount of steak I received with my steak and shrimp, small little thing on my plate looked sad. It had an okay flavor. The other steak looked and tasted pre-prepped one side grilled and the other side soggy. I enjoyed the ice cream machine a lot and the salad bar. Try to get the cornbread it goes quickly.

It's still just as good as it was back in the day. I've been coming here since I was a kid, and the dining room space has changed a bit, but the food and service are still 👌🏽. Would recommend.

First time ever going. My baked potato was perfect my steak was fine the shrimps was delicious. The salad bar was excellent that side bar with the supposed been broccoli and cheese soup but it was mushroom. The greens was a no for me, the rice was hard, macaroni and cheese no thank you. But overall the steak the baked potato, the shrimps and a salad was perfect.

An update to my Mattson's post from a few years ago - I returned this afternoon for the lunch special. Chicken Fried Steak.... I must say everything was clean, food was hot and tasty and the service personnel were all very friendly. The tall gentleman even brought me napkins when I asked where they were located. He pointed, I thanked him and literally a minute later dropped them off. People must return used salad plate to be given a new one - I'm assuming people were taking advantage of the buffet without paying. Atleast there are signs now - I was pleasantly surprised; compared to my last visit. I was taken back to when I'd go with my family as a child. I'm glad I gave it another chance.

This is a mom and pop steak house. Don't come here if you are expecting luxurious fine dining experience. This is no what this place is about. This place is about hearty delicious home cooking. The steak was jucy, Smoky and perfectly cooked. The hot bar has collard greens, Mac and cheese, two types of soup and a beautiful salad bar. The prices are low for such a delicious filling meal. Highly recommend.

Food is delicious!! The restaurant is pretty clean but it sure needs to be remodel ASAP to make it more welcome. It has been like that for more than 20 years. Time for a new change !! The food, WOW, delicious and you get a lot for the price. Give it a try, at least one time !! Service is also excellent too!!

Not what it use to be. Customer service was horrible, outside of one guy who was ironically on his first day. He was the bright spot in our experience. They couldn't get the food right. What's the point in asking how I want my steak if they're going to cook it how they want. My sister in law order chicken, which took forever! But, when she finally got the food, the chicken wasn't cooked thoroughly.. it's safe to say we won't be returning.

Sunday 6/16 Father's Day, line out the door. Cashier walks away and someone yell, it's 20 wait to catch up. Didn't say anything to customers waiting line 90 degrees. Cashier came back to register did not apologize for the wait!!! I walk to the ends of counter everyone on the other side talking, finally I asked where do I go from here? Oh, just have a seat, get to table and its dirty, I ask the young man could he clean the table and he said yes, we waited with trays in hand with kids, he never came back. My son had to go get someone. When I asked him what happen the young lady yelled out that he was not a bus boy, he should have told us that and sent us the bus boy. Steak was ok, mushrooms straight out the can with the same liquid from the can, salad dressing had no labels and people were sticking their finger in dressing to taste and they were watered down. NEED TO DO BETTER!

Nice location, right next door to our hotel. Salad bar was very nicely filled full of everything. Ice cream machine was still broken. Food for 4 of us was good tasting and a decent price. Staff was pleasant enough from ordering to the delivery. Burbank IL is a nice place to visit.

Ordered 16 Oz Rib Eye, medium well. Comes with baked potato and garlic bread. Added side of mushrooms. Food/service was good, atmosphere was quiet. Been coming here since the hey day of the 70s & 80s. This restaurant definitely deserves more business. Thank you

The salad bar is great just missing a protein! However on the side bar they had ribs one day and hot wings on another. Yes 2 visits I love me some salad & the main dish ended up being dinner & lunch the next day. I'm not much of a dessert fan but it's hot please fix the ice cream machine already!

UPDATE: Took away a star because we went back today and they were out of low cal dressing! NOTHING AVAILABLE! I've only been here a couple of times but it's okay. I don't really eat much steak so I get the chicken. The chicken's pretty good sometimes I would say the skin is burnt but it's still pretty good. The salad bar is great but I don't think I should have to ask for the local dressing. There's a sign posted to ask. I think that's a little ridiculous that I should have to chase someone down to ask them for a low-cal salad dressing. They have every kind of food all over the place but I have to ask for dressing? I think that is the most ridiculous thing about this place!

T-Bone Steak, Baked potato, and Garlic bread. Why is this place still open! My husband wanted to surprise me for my birthday and took the whole family to Mattson's steak house. Who in the hell boil a streak than put it on the grill. They do! Potato over cooked and garlic bread was so so. This place is not how it once was 20years ago. Please do not waste you time. I wish I could have read the reviews first before we headed out south.

Recently came here for a holiday dinner and of course the nostalgia and good ole' Western saloon vibe did not disappoint. Enjoyed a delicious steak meal and tasty salad bar at a modest price. The atmosphere is dark, cozy and family oriented. I hadn't been here to eat in so long but the food and environment is just as I remember it from when I was younger.

Let's be honest, this place is dying. I would be shocked if it's still open in a year. I've been coming here since I was too small to even look into the gun case as you walk in. I have fond memories of waiting in a long line to get to order and sliding my tray down as I watched garlic bread and steak made. But that was almost 3 decades ago. And while my family and I still go once a year or so, the quality has SEVERELY fallen. Every time I've gone in the last 5-10 years, it's almost nearly empty, employees just standing around, and food beyond subpar of what should be expected from a steakhouse. The ice cream machines are almost always "out of order". Let's be honest, we know they just don't turn them on because it costs money to refrigerate and turn the ice cream. They've closed one salad bar and the last time I went, most of the hot bar items hadn't been restocked and all that was left was some corn bread getting stale and overcooked mac and cheese. The last time I went, I ordered my steak cooked medium rare and it was definitely cooked well. If the cooks don't know how to cook steak, they should not be working there. The jello had fruit that tasted fermented, so it was definitely going bad. Only one soup option was available. It's just so sad because I do remember having to wait in a really long line just to get in back in the day, when people actually wanted to come here.

I've had better from here. The food wasn't as good as I remember. The staff are friendly but unprofessional for the amount of money you are paying. Most have headphones in and sit around lounging which is great for them but horrible for diners expecting a good service. No one came to pre bus tables so the table we were at got crowded quickly. My steak (ordered a prime 23.5 oz steak) was super fatty and cooked medium some parts and rare others when I asked for it medium. I drove 2 hours to get here because it used to be one of the best places ti get a steak. But I will try other eateries now. I also ordered lobster and it was slightly overcooked to where I couldn't even get it out the shell. I hope things change.

So i happen to have my son pick his choice of what he wanted to eat and he chose mattsons.I came and the cashier was nice no complaints. Food was awesome but after that meal without no doubt a nice desert ice cream, so I asked one of the workers and responded the ice cream machine is out of order so I asked how about the other one ..he replied that ones out of order too.. totally killed my dinner!!! that was the big finally for me and my son.. how can both ice cream machines be out of order? No good definitely won't be coming back until it is fixed and will be telling my family and friends which we have been coming here since I was 16.. now I have to go to McDonald's a multi million dollar company that has plenty of it .. where it coils have satisfied hundreds of people..could have gave them 4 starts but totally killed my dinner..

Not good does NOT describe the food. It's absolutely horrible. From the salad bar to the entrée. The food was either uncooked or burnt, the salad bar was not maintained. It amazes me the amount of people that eat there so maybe it was my taste buds. I will say the cashier was extremely polite and the workers were attentive. THE FOOD IS HORRIBLE!!!!! but to each it's own.

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!!! They don't use proper food handling procedures; FIFO - first in, first out. Instead they just add new salad bar items on top of what's already there. I tried calling to complain, but no one ever answers the phone. So I'll be contacting the board of health.

Thanks to my binge watching of the show Yellowstone, I have been craving some steak and good ribs for awhile. Sometimes it just smells delicious outside and it's conveniently located next to transportation. Decorum is all things Wild West (which I love), and you just can't miss the huge neon sign on Cicero Avenue of the cowboy racing on his horse. At first I wasn't really sure what to order because the menu is a little overwhelming (in a good way). I really enjoyed the ribs and steak combo. The french fries were the perfect type of crispy. The BBQ sauce was just right and although the ribs might seem a little bit smaller, it was perfect. Service was excellent, and you pay everything up front and they bring it to your table. I didn't try anything from the salad bar, but it looked delicious. Now that I have an idea of how everything tastes, I will be frequenting Mattson's more often and look forward to trying more food options on the menu. I am really glad I went here tonight.

Well, I probably had not been here in over 20 years and the place looks about the same. Pros: Menu offerings of steak, chicken, fish and shrimp, extensive cold salad bar (salad with veggies, macaroni salad, cole slaw, potato salad, jello, etc) and hot bar (greens, macaroni and cheese, cornbread, etc) as well as the ice cream station and full bar and coupons for buy one get one free, good customer service. Cons: Be very specific on your steak order or it will come over cooked, Fish (pre breaded and fried too hard), the cleanliness of the place. This place needs a renovation (old furniture, dirty carpet, dirty furniture) and the bathroom needs a total overhaul as it was not clean and most of the bathroom fixtures were rusted. Outcome: If you are looking for a decent steak restaurant with lots of fixings at an economical price, this is your place. Will I be back? probably not.

The salad bar was very delicious! However, the steak that I ordered was disappointing when it arrived. I requested for..well done. So I sent it back to the cook for it to be well-done = burn it. Well, when it came back.. it is still not to my satisfaction because the steak is still pink/red after taking a bite. Also, the steak is tough so..... I will take it home and cook it "well done"! My friend and I was disappointed for the steaks served. The ice cream was delicious. My aunt's salmon dinner looked delicious. My friend and I should've ordered the salmon dish. I didn't take a photo if her meal.

First off the cashier was not customer friendly she didn't even greet us as we entered the establishment she didn't care to be there at all ... Steak burnt tasted like they wiped the grill with cleaning solutions and then wiped it off with the steak and then grilled it way over cooked the garlic bread was so hard it cut my gums the salad bar was a mess cucumbers were dried out the ranch was in thick clumps need to change the drinks watery the shrimp were pasty mac cheese dried out the only thing i like was the cornbread and greens inside all overall food was horrible should gave walked away when i saw they only had three guest which was seniors..... My experience was not good hope the next person goes well

This was the restaurant to come and have a nice dinner. Not sure what has happen post pandemic, but the food is not up to par. I always order T-Bone steak with baked potato and salad. For starters the ranch dressing is watered down and is tasteless. The ranch dressing used to be the Bomb. My steak and potato were tasteless. The steak use to be so good with just the right seasoning. What happen? My spouse ordered the fried chicken with honey. The server brought the honey packets out and they looked like it was from 10 years ago, the honey was very dark and taste like molasses. The ambiance of the restaurant is good, not as dark as it used to be.

No gluten free at all, this is the second Chicago place in a week that didnt even know what I meant when I asked what was gluten free. I really didnt want to risk the salad bar, it looked limp and sad, and when I am out for a special meal, salad is not what I am looking for. What's up around here, where do people with allergies go?

Me and my family came in to celebrate my birthday. When we walked in the bartender and Manager was sitting by the bar. Immediately we were told that the back was closed "to find somewhere else to sit". Her attitude suck. Then we notice that the bartender was recording us. We asked why was she recording us and she said she was playing a game. She was lying. Regardless of the altercation we still sat down and ate our food. No new food was put out on the hot bar and when asked could we be served at the bar, because we saw other people sitting at the bar drinking the manager said "the bar is closed". Lying. I wouldn't recommend this place ever again. The place was damn near empty and the workers are terrible.

My study group and I decided to grab a bite to eat to celebrate the end of a very long semester & we had a pretty good time. Personally not too big on steak, so I opted for the bbq chicken. It was pretty good. What made the trip for me was the well stocked salad bar. The service was friendly and fast. It's not fine dining, but for $22 bucks, not bad.

I would this place not even 1 star.. but i had to put a star to post this review place is cozy somewhat.. if that make sense but the food is straight up nasty. Salad bar. Eggs are dry and tasteless, cheese does not taste like cheese. Tasted like old cheese and i odered the steak medium well.. it was cooked well done.. hard to cut the steak. But overall the tables arent cleaned. Dirty plates are left on tables. Tables arent even cleaned.. i dont know why this place even opened its poorly managed

Have been going here since I was a teenager. Food is always consistent and delicious. Salad bar is always stocked and fresh. I'm usually too busy with my steak, salad and baked potato to try the hot food bar, but it looks tasty too! Don't forget the bar! The drinks are good! The dated decor is part of the charm. So glad they have survived over the years!

After being completely ignored at the steakhouse down the street I'm glad we ended up here. How can you not love a place with a soup, salad, and dessert bar included with your meal. The steak was good and the service was fantastic I definitely recommend!

Horrible! This place gets worse every time we come. 50% of the tables have not been cleaned and are full of dirty plates and there is no where to sit. Floors are all full of food spilled everywhere. We have been waiting over 45 minutes for the food and it's not even busy, it's Thursday. This will be our last time

THE WORST SERVICE EVER! We placed our order at 7:59 pm and at 9pm we still hadn't received our food. When I went to ask about it they were puzzled. The cooks didn't know why it hadn't come out. The manager said they probably gave it to someone else. She offered me drinks and a promise that our food would be out in 10 minutes. We work so I declined the drinks and said that it was fine. THEN she came and said she didnt have what I ordered so I said to take my entree off the bill. My entree was $23.00 and she gave us back $10 cause she had to charge me for their awful salad bar! WTF?? $13 for an old cup of soup & 1/2 scoop of ice cream? The least they could've done is give me a full refund on my entree.. we were still paying for my fiance's entree. This is my FIRST NEGATIVE REVIEW EVER!

Haven't been here in years and the place basically looks the same besides the menu being on a screen instead of pictures on the wall and a couple of slot machines. I ordered a well done steak with butter on the side and when the food came it was a medium cooked steak with a huge piece of butter in the potato. The place is outdated the tables weren't clean and food was over priced. It's not the same so I'll pass on coming back

What a great surprise! I live in Las Vegas and I flew into Midway. I started driving south on Cicero and needed a good meal. Saw this place on yelp and decided to stop. At first I was disappointed as you ordered and paid before you sit down. I thought it might not be the restaurant atmosphere I was looking for. The prices seemed high on the menu until I realized you get a salad bar, hot bar, and ice cream bar included in your meal. The food was great! The employees were so nice and helpful. The atmosphere was comfortable and homey. The drinks were deliciously strong and inexpensive. I'm so glad I stopped here to eat. Great start to my vacation!

Food is excellent. But today as I was going to the salad bar, one of the cook was blowing his nose and mucus was coming out on the tissue. I step back to c if he was going to go wash his hands. He took a wet wipe out and return to fix the food. I went totally off. They have a salad bar and a hot buffet small set up. But u now r allow only one plate 2 combine all that food.

I don't normally review places unless they really stand out one way or another. Well let me tell you, from the moment I walked in the door, this place stood out. I had to repeat my order 3 times because the girl taking the orders said she had zoned out. I go down by the cooks where they ask you how you want your steak cooked and again, I had to keep repeating it because they were goofing off. I had to wait to pay because the girl from the register was playing grab ass with the cooks. All during the meal I felt like I was eating in a cafeteria with a bunch of 5 year olds. The staff behind the counter by the grill were constantly making childish noises and giggling and carrying on. It was obnoxious! One bright spot was the gentleman that cleaned the table. I wish I remembered his name. He was very friendly and and just an all around good guy. We left a tip on the table and he made it a point to walk over and thank us and tell us how much he appreciated it. Give this guy a promotion! He should be the face of that location! Now the food. All meals came with unlimited hot foods and salad bar. Lettuce was brown and wilty and cucumbers were all brown. It didn't look fresh at all. The hot bar consisted of greens, rice, Mac n cheese and corn bread. I will say the greens were decent for canned greens. I did not have any of the 2 soups. They have the word "steakhouse" in their name. They need to remove that because it's false advertising. I've had a better steak during a drunken binge at Al's Diner at 3am! It was absolutely awful! Full of fat and no flavor whatsoever! I will never ever eat at this place nor recommend it to anyone ever! Very disappointed!

I went there yesterday February 19 it was my first time and believe me it would be my last time. The food not so bad but the Manager or owner should trained the employees. I was there waiting for my food also my husband and for my surprise there was two(2) employees talking . At the beginning I tough they were on there break . Why? Cause they didn't have the mask on and he was all over the other employee touching her hair and her face then he was touching his hair up and down and when they called him for my surprise he comes with our food. Without cleaning his hands and disinfecting them. Never again it was so disgusting.

Me and my family have been coming to Mattson's since the early 90's. We have always liked the food and while sometimes it is better than others, just like all other restaurants, its usually pretty good. The variety of options at the salad bar is nice, but in it needs to be updated to be a bit more sanitary. I've seen people sucking their fingers and coughing on their hands while at the salad bar.

I was surprised at the new layout and function of Matteson's since I hadn't been here in over 20 plus years. I had the 9 oz steak cooked well with baked potato and lobster tail with a humongous salad. The only part I don't like about the experience at Matteson's is the fact they have to walk around looking for you to give you your food, other than that I look forward to taking teams here for meals, especially if they think about sponsoring.....hint hint.....

Very, very dirty. Place hasnt remodeled in over 30 years, and i dont thik theve cleaned since then either. The food was ok, and the saled bar was very good. Staff is rude. If you would like to take your leftovers home, you need to bring all your food acroos the restaraunt so they can box it for you. Again please note this place is filthy. Now the staff likes to stand around and chit chat with each other and are rude if you interupt them for a box.... then all 5 of them handle your box with there dirty hands.

First time here, went in around 6pm on a Saturday. Not so busy. And last time I ever go. Not only were the girls rude but no one what so ever has basic customer service skills. No one greets you, tells you the basic directions of where to help yourself to sit, or know about the food. Seriously. I overheard a customer behind me ask about a certain plate and all the girl said was i don't know while staring at her. I felt bad for the customer myself, she ended up leaving. They didn't even care. I ordered the Greek chicken w/side of rice and bread. The food was ok just really greasy. The salad/soup bar was good. Lots of options. EXCEPT they started taking the food away a little more than an HOUR BEFORE closing.. With people still coming in? I understand some restaurants are not high class but this place lacks everything. I don't even recommend it.

This place is a hidden gem even though it's not even hidden. Its one of my favorite places to eat when I'm in the area. It's an old Bonanza restaurant I believe. Great value and great food. I usually come here just for their soup and salad bar but today I ordered a chicken sandwich and baked potato. The sandwich is huge, tasty and so filling. Their soups here are excellent and the salad bar has loads of choices to choose from. Also included with your meal is a hot bar, ice cream and unlimited pop. You'll never walk out of here hungry. The interior is a bit rustic but the place is clean and service is friendly. I'm not a red meat eater so I can't comment on the steaks. Give this place a try.

I haven't been here in a good lil while. I must say that they have improved some but not a lot. The menu is still the same they have just upgraded the view of the menu to an electronic board. The service is still the same the food is tasty they can do to go down on the prices. They have increased there side dishes to include macaroni, and greens. Over all a good cleaning is what is needed to the place, it wasn't filthy but it wasn't clean either it fell somewhere in between. The servers was just robotic, no words the salad bar was full tho. We went on a Sunday were as i thought it would have been crowded but it wasn't, parking was great. I would return probably in another couple of years as a passer by as i did this time to remembrance.

I grew up in Oak Lawn and loved this place a child but haven't been here for close to 20 years. Well...nothing has changed - except the prices. It's still very expensive for a very thin piece of meat. There is no room to walk around the salad bar...very tight. I still have no idea how to get a fresh plate for the salad bar and ice cream bar. You get one plate and bowl. If you use this then I guess it's time to go home. I love the decor but it's probably time for a good cleaning and update. The bathroom is probably exactly the same as it was in the 70's.
