Overwhelmed by the most professional old school Matre D and tag teamed by 3 servers to make our Chicago Steakhouse experience memorable.The 3 part filets with different sauces were amazingly unique.Seated at the end sidewalk table was incredibly romantic. This is how service and fine steaks should be.Thank you..
I love this steakhouse. If you dine in a city near the ocean you should look for good seafood restaurants. If you dine in the Midwest in a city like Chicago then steak is the wise choice. If you are a regular at steak houses you will probably not find any major surprises at Rosebud steak, creamed spinach, potatoes are the staples and then you just order around them. My favorites here are the New York Strip and Ribeye I like a side of sautéed mushrooms to smother my steak and my steak is always rare to medium rare. I think I heard my steak Moo one time when I stuck my fork into it. Full bar. Park on the street if you get there 15-20 minutes before your reservation to look for a parking spot. If not there are plenty of indoor garages. Dine casually and finish the meal off with a generous slice of cheesecake. Don't feel guilty. You can have a salad for dinner the next day to make you feel better about your choices. Want a great steak? You'll find it here.
Absolutely awesome! This was our first time at Rosebud's as we normally had gone to Ditkas which had closed. The food was exceptional; my filet was perfect! Our server, Jay, was so fun and helpful. We will be back. The sides we had were the roasted brussel sprouts and Mac & Cheese. Yummy! Thanks! Debbie
I'll keep this simple. My mind was taken to the finest symphony. The musicians and conductor making their way to a grand crescendo of flavors that played a tune so lovely it brought a fictional tear to my eye. An orchestral masterpiece, a truly brilliant meal. Thank you for your service, Rosebud Steakhouse.
That was out first time to the Rosebud, but what a pleasant surprise... this is an awesome place!
Fantastic choice of appetizers, great selections of steaks and seafood, the stuff is absolutely top notch!
Don't miss that one on your next trip Downtown Chicago!

We went with a large group for my wife's birthday. Food was terrific as was the ambiance. Drinks were very good as well. The service from our waiter Jay was incredible. And for a steakhouse downtown prices are reasonable. I would recommend Rosebud Steakhouse to anyone. We will be back.

Authentic Chicago steakhouse. Great atmosphere and service. Food is amazing. Couple of tips, make sure to have a reservation (it was packed on a Monday night) and order the Lobster GOT...,you can thank me later.
I have some of the other reviews and was frankly surprised by Tim F.'s review. My wife and I had a phenomenal experience last night (Sunday, August 14th, 2022). There were several reasons for this. First, the manager Joseph Kutrubis came by our table two, maybe three times to personally check on everyone's meal and service. He circulated around the restaurant several times stopping at other tables and presumably the same kind of "check in" customer conversations. We are from out of town, but come to Chicago often and had a similar experience over a year ago as the restaurant scene opened back up after the pandemic. Second, our waiter Webster was very attentive and authentic. We had a long day of meetings and were eager to sit down and have a leisurely meal. Webster was prompt with our drink order, app order, and then entre order. Everything was perfectly prepared, was served in a timely manner, at the right temperature, and we felt the timing matched our desire for an unhurried evening. We also dine frequently in NYC and we have to give Joseph a big thumbs up for his management of this establishment. Our evening was memorable.

Large portions, good food, with knowledgeable and attentive service! Only problem was noisy inside seating and seemingly indifferent hostess. Follow up hostess seated us outside for lovely dinner. We go back!

Food was superb. We really weren't expecting a great meal, yet we got one. Staff was Uber friendly and helpful. Service was spot on, with recommendations very useful.
Oddly, when we were leaving, there was no one present to thank us or to say goodbye. An unusual glitch for a professionally run Chicago steakhouse.
We will return.

This is our new go to date night spot! I like the low key comfortable feel when you walk in. From the moment you walk in to when you leave it is great service. The menu has a little of everything, but it's all about the great steak. When you get steak with a side of garlic, you know you are in the right place! The sides are plentiful and don't you dare pass up those brussels!

Best filet ever. Impeccable service (thanks, Webster!). I highly recommend the jalapeño chowder and burrata salad! Great ambiance. Worth every penny!

Definitely will return. Enjoyed the bar area prior to dinner. Had the Filet medallions over mashed potatoes and it was delicious. Others at our table had the 16 oz KC Strip and they gave it high marks. Enjoyed the atmosphere in the restaurant. The location is perfect if you are staying at The Drake, Knickerbocker or Hilton hotels. Easy walking distance. The parking garage next door is also a plus.

If you want an authentic Chicago steakhouse experience -- not just a routine chain restaurant-- then come here. And if you want to feel like a part of the family, sit at the bar!
The food is incredible-- the lamb lollipops perfectly cooked and delicious, and the wedge salad crisp, cold, and fresh! The lamb is served in a spicy red pepper sauce that was intense -- overpowering for the lamb but perfect for bread-dipping. The server Webster turned me on to the peppercorn sauce and that was the perfect creamy peppery pairing for the lamb. Service was unmatched and you can tell the serving team gets along and is having fun, because it translates into great service.
Eat here and enjoy a classic Chicago steakhouse!
Also, Stephanie at the bar was excellent and Angelo the owner came by to say hi! Joseph wasn't half bad either (just joking he was great!)

My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful evening dining at Rosebud. We were celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary, and everyone and everything was done to enhance our meal and create a truly memorable experience. The ambiance is terrific--quiet enough to talk but bustling with servers and the background buzz of other dining patrons.
The menu is varied and all items we ordered were excellent. The breads a fresh baked and our server immediately noticed us not partaking (due to our garlic allergy), he whisked it away and instantly plain freshly baked and buttered rolls appeared. We decided to share everything in order to enjoy a wider selection of menu items, and our server expertly handled the details. We ordered steak tartare and a shrimp cocktail; a wedge salad and a caprese salad; trio of filet mignon and 40-day aged strip steak. All was accompanied by a delicious French Bordeaux chosen to enhance the food selections. Everything was delicious and perfectly prepared. The restaurant kindly prepared a surprise desert: crème caramel with salted caramel ice cream.
Our total was shockingly inexpensive considering the feast we enjoyed: $150.00-including the wine. We were staying at the Drake Hotel and thus were given a 10% discount on our meal.
We would return to Rosebud again with pleasure.

I love this restaurant. I've been coming to Chicago for business for more than two decades but only tecently discovered this gem. Great steaks, of course, but there are plenty of other choices. I had the blackened salmon spinach salad tonite. It was fantastic.

My fiancé and I had an amazing experience for Valentine's Day at rosebud. We had been there before for Valentine's Day and the experience and food were equally as wonderful. We had the prefixed Valentine's Day menu/course. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Our favorite dish was the porterhouse. The steak was cooked to perfection.

I have been telling myself I was going to give a review and now I finally am.
My boyfriend Christopher and I love coming to Rosebud Steakhouse (this location specifically). Whenever it's a special day for us, we automatically choose RB.
I honestly can say that we leave with big smiles on our faces, full bellies, and in a great mood.
The staff is fantastic. Webster, Abdul, and Joseph (everyone else too!) always give us the biggest smile and warmest greeting. We seem to always go when all 3 are usually there.
Last night we came in and Webster recognized us. Great feeling since we haven't been in since November. Even better feeling that he was our server. Probably one of the most authentically down to earth servers we have had (Abdul is in our scrap book at home though )
We ordered drinks, shots, WE ARE OBSESSED with the lobster got! Can't get enough of it. That's probably my favorite menu item. We always order that. We had delicious oysters. We then had a NY Strip with Bernaise, two lobster tails, and couldn't resist the lamb chop lollipops to go!!!
We would've ordered more like we usually do, but we were so full. We couldn't resist the lollipops to go though! Great even the next day! Plus, we spoil our dog who loves them too!
Everything always goes smoothly here, no matter how busy they are and gives excellent service. I always feel at ease here which is hard to say about other steak houses. We have tried others, but it's not RBS. Knowing that we will always have great food, great service, and a great time... there's no disappointment or competition.
Overall, we ALWAYS have a great experience here and the staff makes it just that much better. We even enjoy the other guests that come through. This is definitely our place.
Thank you RBS!!! You are THEE best!

My husband and I come down to the city for my doctor appointment twice a year. We have stayed at Millennium Knickerbocker and eaten at Rosebud Steakhouse every time. Their food is delicious and their staff is nice. Webster has waited on us multiple times and he is great.
Excellent service, food and great wine choices. The lobster got is not to be missed!
Solid low-key steakhouse. Unfortunately I hit it during peak holiday rush which was not ideal but there's nothing not to like about this place. Lobster prepared like traditional escargot was genuinely exciting.

Very good steakhouse as part of the Rosebud restaurant group. This one in the Streeterville neighborhood just east of the Drake hotel. It has everything your looking for including Dover Sole. Our group enjoyed all the expected from steaks to the Dover Sole. One side that was a big hit was the truffle potato tatters. Service is top of the line! It meet everyone's expectations.

Stopped through here with some friends before the dinner rush. Lights were dim (in a romantic kind of way) and it was pretty quiet. We were greeted immediately and got a table right away. Our waiter gave us some suggestions with the food and drink menus and just chatted with us a bit. He brought us some bread and it was the best bread I had in my life. It kinda gave me hawaiian bread with a parmesan crust. It was so good. All of us at the table told him to run another order back to us. The food was really delicious too. I had a petite filet - medium and my husband had the lamb chops. The sides are shareable so we all went with the Mac and cheese and asparagus. Honey that Mac and cheese stole the show! I went in with low expectations on it but was blown out the water. All of us couldn't stop talking about it even while eating the rest of the food! I'm really glad this place was across the street from our hotel. I'm so tempted to stop by before I leave for some bread and Mac to go.

Came here with my partner for our 3rd monthiversary dinner (yes we're those people). We wanted good steak and this place was close to our hotel with great reviews.
For appetizers we got the Maryland crab cake and Caesar salad. For our entree we split the original Chicago cut bone-in ribeye and for sides we got the Mac and Cheese and grilled asparagus. We also had a few of their cocktails which were very good and wine with dinner. Everything we had was very good. But the stars for me were the steak and the Mac and Cheese. Best of all we had leftovers to take back with us and nosh on the next day and we were stuffed. The service was collective and excellent. I love this model because we were never passed over. Someone was always there to attend to us and all were knowledgeable and helpful. I highly recommend this place for a regular night's dinner or a special occasion.

Possibly one of the best steaks I have ever had. Don't miss the mashed potatoes. Service is divine!

What can I say......some places just know what they are doing. Flew in early evening and checked into the Hilton on Delaware. I had work to do so I ordered in and noticed there were no delivery details on my order. So I called and they said it should actually be a pick up. They sounded really busy. When I explained the flyer I ordered from and having to eat in to get some work done they immediately said they would deliver it. I ordered the brick chicken. I know it's a steak house but this chicken was done perfectly.....crispy outside and juicy inside. The asparagus was done perfectly as well. Really outstanding and I appreciated their flexibility. I'd dine in without a doubt.
