Boeufhaus

“Small steakhouse with a phenomenal burger.”

Small steakhouse with a phenomenal burger. The happy hour deal with a burger, fries, and a beer or wine is an incredible deal food the price and quality of what you're getting. Staff were friendly, professional, and attentive. My only gripe was with the burger actually, the onions on mine were largely inedible skin while my wife's were all perfect.

“People talk about Alinea (I've been there), how amazing it is.”

People talk about Alinea (I've been there), how amazing it is. What they should be talking about is Boeufhaus. Food was better, atmosphere and it didn't have that knose up feel. Just quality across the board. Service, atmosphere, and food where all top notch. If you want dinner and a show and pay out the knose. Sure go to Alinea, it's an experience. BUT if you just want a excellent dinning experience BOEUFHAUS! Photo isn't great because it was so good and we just started eating.

“Very pleased with the food, very delicious.”

Very pleased with the food, very delicious. My only note was I had assumed that the duck breast would be wild caught (which is an odd assumption on my part), but it was farm raised and corn fed. Unfortunately, you can really taste the corn diet in the fat. My recommendation would be to get farm raised ducks, but to buy them from somewhere that doesn't feed them mainly on corn, as this will lead to a better quality meat.

“Reasonable happy hour specials including a shrimp cocktail and drinks.”

Reasonable happy hour specials including a shrimp cocktail and drinks. We had the ribeye and pretzel gnocchi which were both veery good!

“Came in for dinner a few weeks ago for date night.”

Came in for dinner a few weeks ago for date night. Very cozy and intimate atmosphere but not too formal. We enjoyed everything, especially the grilled corn on special and the scallops. The steak, of course, was also good. I’d personally pass on the mushrooms next time, good but not a stand out. Unique that the steaks are on display in the front cooler. Highly recommend checking this place out! Convenient location to a few bars for a pre or post-dinner drink as well.

“We’ve wanted to try Boeufhaus for a long time and finally made it here for a birthday dinner.”

We’ve wanted to try Boeufhaus for a long time and finally made it here for a birthday dinner. We had the oysters, the salade du marché, NY strip au poivre w/ roasted mushrooms. All excellent. For dessert- the chiffon cake- loved the tart lemon and crunchy pistachios against the spongy cake. We look forward to coming back.

Came for the happy hour, had a dirty gin martini, happy hour beignets, and a burger with a German Pilsner. Food was excellent, service was a little missing, and vibes were good.

“A great steak house in Chicago without the stuffy white table cloth atmosphere that you may find at other places.”

A great steak house in Chicago without the stuffy white table cloth atmosphere that you may find at other places. Short rib beignets are a must, steak was cooked perfectly, and the sides were delicious. For the price though would have been nice to have at least some complimentary bread and butter. If you’re looking for a steakhouse in Chicago this is a cool and consistent spot.

“We are from out-of-country and were looking for a Chicago steak experience.”

We are from out-of-country and were looking for a Chicago steak experience. We found this restaurant on Eater Chicago with aged beef. Looked perfect. When we arrived, the staff was very welcoming. The music was a bit loud and we asked if they could turn it down. Which they did graciously. The ribeye was cooked to perfection. Nutty because of the age. The belgian-style fries spot-on. They have a very good selection of French wines, but we wanted to try an American wine. The sommelier recommended a beautiful Grenache. The owner came and spoke to us about his philosophy and the wine list. Overall amazing experience. Thank you.

“There are really too many good things to say about this place.”

There are really too many good things to say about this place. Amazing food and drink. Great service.. I’d say make a reservation the place has limited seating and can fill up quickly.

“Impeccable service, tasty food, and great atmosphere.”

Impeccable service, tasty food, and great atmosphere. The music isn’t too loud which is a nice touch. The ribeye was delicious. You can tell it’s not a typical corn-fed commercial breed of cow. Great crust on the steak and the bordelaise was very good. The escargot is a must order, so tasty. Cocktails are great.
