Chicago TribuneDecember 31, 2014
This spot has been named the #1 steakhouse in Chicago. Try the 55 or 75-day dry aged rib-eye steak or the 40-day prime steak burger. ProTip: Dry aged steaks can be purchased for home grilling. Read more

My first aged steak ... absolutely delicious. I would come back here in a second. (And the seafood tower was pretty good! I'm spoiled with super fresh seafood in boston tho)

You do taste the notes of blue cheese in the 55 day aged bone in ribeye. The bacon on a stick, more appropriately named pork belly on a stick, was also the epitome of smoky sweet goodness.

Omg. The 55 day dry aged steak was undoubtably the best steak I've ever tasted in my life. And they even have a 75 day old! The mac&cheese was amazing. And the bread puffs. This place is so worth it.

Chef Hubbard at Primehouse wanted to share his favorite holiday recipes, so he created this mini holiday market. Each week has different delicious specials, come indulge! Read more

Don’t have time to visit? Grab a brunch box to go on Sunday before you head to the airport. We like the Hangover (Mini Burgers and fries, Mac N’ Cheese with bacon & a Monte Cristo). Read more

After your beef bacchanal, head upstairs and crash on the billion thread count sheets, then do it all over again tomorrow night. (Seriously, you’ll want to go back again and again). Read more

Surprisingly good cocktail program here, including some barrel aged. You've never had anything like the Petit Confit (whistlepig, absinthe, duck infused white wine).

In town on business and instead of fighting traffic back to Rosemont at rush hour decided on dinner @ David Burke's. 50-day Rib Eye was excellent but I still prefer Gibson's! Mac n Cheese was great!
Kevin SanchezOctober 20, 2013
The bacon for appetizer was delicious!! Also love the cheesecake for dessert. Of you have a lot of guests and not enough room in your belly, these bite size cheesecakes are perfect.

Warm popovers stand in for bread, filets are tender and rich, and brunch gets served in bento boxes with themes— “griddled” (pancakes and French toast) and “hangover” (burgers, fries and sunglasses). Read more

They leave their rib eyes in their in-house, salt-tiled aging room for anywhere from 28 to 75 days, which imbues their cuts with a melt-in-your-mouth texture. Read more

Besides first-rate beef, this New York–style steak house boasts creative nonsteak options like tableside caesar salad, surf-and-turf dumplings, crackling pork shank, and a Slice of Prime. Read more

It’s not your mama’s steakhouse, which means it’s also super kid-friendly: A children’s menu includes Kobe-beef corn dogs and a three-ounce filet mignon, plus a dessert menu with milk and cookies. Read more

The best meal I've ever eaten. The surf and turf dumplings (especially the jerk pork) were the perfect appetizer. The dry aged steak has such a distinct flavor. Tour the freezer after dinner!
Kate CerriAugust 14, 2011
Excellent steak and sides. Don't forget to check in and show the waiter for a free appetizer. It was so incredible that it is almost unbelievable. Use the sommelier to make your wine selection!
Jack SchnellAugust 10, 2014
The food is good here, but I wouldn't say this is the best steak house in the Midwest. Copper rock has cheaper steaks that blow this place's steaks out of the water! Staff wears jeans..looks so tacky
Rebecca MaldonadoOctober 6, 2014
I'm still drooling over their red velvet cake in a can. You have to order it at the start of the meal because it takes about 40 minutes. It's worth the wait.
Andrew CarterDecember 23, 2011
Kobe beef corn dogs for the free ski w/ 4 square check n shake and steak menu is awesome w/ martini steak and side martini splurge with bone in filet and langmeil Shiraz bamm

Had the 50 day aged rib-eye which was excellent. Best cut is bone-in filet. Outstanding! Bring your wallet
John HartAugust 7, 2013
Ask for the tour of the dry aging room. It's a great to see the process up close.

Primehouse gives a nod and wink to an American classic with Kobe beef corn dogs. The two-inch links will remind you of childhood, but the juicy, plump texture and beefy flavor are all adult. Read more

Love going here for lunch. I've ordered the burger every time because it's that good.
Christopher TaiJuly 24, 2011
The 40 day dry aged burger is their underrated secret here. Try it and you'll realize that it's the best 12 bucks you ever spent. Comes with truffle oil french fries!
Blair KleinMarch 2, 2013
The Cake in a Can is worth the wait! And the extra batter is served before the cake arrives. Genius.
Helen ParkJune 20, 2016
Great lunch menu - onion ring is their hidden gem

Highly recommend the seafood tower for seafood lovers, and the steak is superb!!!

Every dish is executed with precision, and steaks are aged in an on-site salt cave that controls the humidity and temperature. Steak sauce? Forget about it. Read more

Everything is good! Had the strip steak and sides. Most excellent!

Make sure to leave room for the Slice of Prime (a s’mores chocolate cake with graham cracker and marshmallow) and a batch of the Kickin’ Donuts: the ultimate interactive treat!
Lynn MortonApril 30, 2014
Wonderful service from Corey D. Skip the 40, go for the 55. Be prepared to take some home.
عبدالعزيزMay 16, 2016
Excellent food and service. Their 40 days steak is wonderful 👍
Serious EatsDecember 30, 2013
No place in Chicago dry ages beef with such passion as David Burke's.
Tina CMay 13, 2010
The Lobster Bisque, Surf & Turf Dumplings, 40 Day Rib Eye, and Cheesecake Lollipop Tree were all fantastic! Ask for a tour of the steak aging room, it's pretty cool
Lisa HinchliffeJanuary 30, 2015
Unique steak aging room imparting unique flavor. Specialty cocktails worthwhile.
JohannesMay 16, 2015
Steak and Red Velvet Cake must have!
Brian ShellAugust 11, 2013
Table side Caesar salad, bacon sticks and dry aged steaks. Can't go wrong here.
Marco HowellOctober 6, 2011
Get the fillet mignon, truffle fries, wagu and green beans. Dessert: cheesecake lollipops and the donuts.
Wale AnimashaunOctober 29, 2016
The biggest steak I've ever seen for $150. It was worth it!

Steaks are amazing, service and quality the best

Loved the 55-day, can't wait to try the 75-day. Service was impeccable.
Pete JohnsonOctober 26, 2013
I found the 75 day aged ribeye disappointing. Tough, not particularly flavorful. Awesome Caesar, sides, muffins, service, wines.
