- Joe HOctober 20, 2012Most of the small-plate appetizers can be recommended without reservation. The wild mushroom and gorgonzola cheese tart is encased in a flaky pastry and served with a lemon beurre blanc sauce.
Bill TobinNovember 30, 2017Strip steak was awesome! Try the brussel sprouts on the side. Good dry vodka martini w blue cheese olives as well. Top notch place. Always, Always go there when I’m in Chicago.
Everything is top notch at Kinzie Chophouse. I've been dinning here frequently for nearly 20 years and have never been disappointed.
Jonathan WarnerJuly 14, 2014Got the NY Strip with the fully loaded baked potato amazing food complimentary anniversary desert the chocolate cookie pie OMG..... It's a must .... Wicked service great servers- Christopher FlossApril 30, 2016What a fabulous evening! Try the meatloaf as an entree and the corn and sausage as a side. We enjoyed the ambiance at the bar.

Time Out ChicagoNovember 2, 2011Try the oysters Rockefeller generously topped with barely wilted spinach. Several cuts of steaks are presented on a tray before your meal to help you make the selection or to try something new.

AkitaDecember 16, 2020My steak and all sides ordered( creamed spinach, sautéed mushrooms, and scrambled potatoes) all needed seasoning. It just wasn’t the tastiest.
Lindsay MacdonaldFebruary 13, 2010We had tuna tartar, wedge salad and soup, bone in ribeye, new york strip, desert, a bottle of wine, and after dinner drinks.. everything was excellent and our server was great!! Highly recommend this
Angelito LeMontréalaisJune 8, 2010One of the best steakhouse I have been. Warm contemporary plush interior. The steaks are succulent, perfectly cooked and filled with great taste at every bite. Entrées & desserts are perfctly matched Read more
Paul WilliamsMay 9, 2013Great steak. But Medium Rare here seemed rare. Next time I will order medium. But I'm from Cali, so what do I know about steak? :-)
Carol PhillipsJanuary 19, 2010This is one of the most casual and intimate steak houses in Chicago, great food and service. I usually get the petite filet. Why go to a big chain when this is so much better? Read more
Best steak I've ever had. BYOB--no corking fee on your first bottle.
DELICIOUS dirty martinis!! And a Happy Hour special that can't be beat!
Uber Chicago .September 19, 2013Offering one free bar menu appetizer (up to $7.95) during Uber Chicago's CHILOVESuberX, 9/20-9/22.
Ask for the shrimp risotto entree with the lobster sauce from the risotto appetizer. Exceptional!
BigTab R.N.December 13, 2012Vegetarians and other pork-averse diners: The mashed potatoes have bacon in them. It's not listed on the menu.
tera millerMarch 27, 2011Don't be fooled by the name. Kinzie Chop House does satisfy the meat lovers' craving for a Chicago steak, but there's something for everyone...including vegetarians.
Excellent staff anchored by Nicole who is one of the better bartenders in Chicago especially when it comes to grapes.
Try the Kinzie Cut or if you're not into steak (which I'm not even sure why you're here in the 1st place) try the Herbed Chicken.
Angela ReimusJuly 24, 2011Harmony was one of the best waitresses we have ever had!!! Food is always great, that's a given.
Phillip WilliamsSeptember 1, 2011Remoulade sauce with the calamari is the bomb. Forget the marinara sauce and ask for cocktail sauce.
- Phillip WilliamsApril 13, 2012Skip the marinara sauce when ordering calamari and get cocktail sauce. The remoulade is good too!
John YeskoMarch 15, 2010One of today's specials (3/15/2010) was an excellent blackened salmon salad, mixed greens with a tasty vinaigrette.
Cate C.February 5, 2011Good food, lunch specials menu isn't very gluten-free friendly so I'd recommend sticking with regular menu.
Adam WebbFebruary 13, 2010Great food...great atmosphere. Our server was awesome (Monique)...good wine at reasonable prices too.
David LynchJanuary 1, 2012Be clear with your order and don't be afraid to send something back if it doesn't meet your cooking standards. They'll cook another.
Tom CamponeJanuary 9, 2010Just got the bone in delmonico. I highly recommend it. The bone in filet was also amazing.
