Chicago is a city with wall to wall fantastic restaurants. The Chicago Chop House is great, McCormick and Schmicks is also great but the creme de la creme, capo di capi, head honcho has to be Gibsons. I have never tasted steak like the steak served in Gibsons. It is just wonderful.

Gibson's offers a classic steakhouse and seafood menu with very generous portions. Quality is consistent and service is attentive. Tonight we had a perfectly prepared New York Strip that was allowed to stand on its own without extensive seasoning and a delicate Lake Michigan whitefish. Excellent Caesar salads and very inviting and flavorful carrot cake and a chocolate enhanced turtle... More

Gibson's may be known for their steaks (which are great) but I'll keep going back for their desserts. The chocolate mousse pie is incredibly delicious and like all their other desserts HUGE! We were there relatively late so we watched as the staff brought desserts to each table. It looked as though all the diners were in heaven eating their... More

Food old fashioned but good. Had the oysters and a wedge salad only, but tasted the meals of the other three friends I dined with. Good, consistent, great service, funny-huge mud pie.

We were walking around the Rush St. area and it started to rain. We "popped" in to Gibsons around lunch time and they were busy but found us a nice window table for 2 without a wait. We weren't in the mood for a heavy lunch, so we had Oysters, very fresh, Soup and crab cake Benedict. For a place... More

Since we were in Chicago, we decided to try a non chain steakhouse and see if it was different from Morton's, Flemings or Ruth Chris. We were lucky to get a table on short notice around 6 PM, after 6:30 the place was packed and it was literally very close quarters and hard to maneuver around the tables on our... More

It's really difficult to find anything to say negative about Gibson's. I've been going there for years. Enjoy the lively but usually packed bar while you wait on your table. Then enjoy the dinner! Wonderful steaks. Wonderful waiters that seem to truly enjoy what they do. A must dining spot while in Chicago! Then stroll down Rush Street and do... More

Probably the best steakhouse I've ever had the pleasure of dining at. A wonderful wonderful restaurant with exceptional cuts of meat. Enjoyed eating here immensely. Tried to go again this year, but were fully booked and for good reason. Before I die, I hope to eat here again!
