““Hello Again Everybody!” One of my all-time favorite Chicago restaurants. Harry Caray was a legendary voice of MLB — St. Louis Cardinals, Chicago White Sox, and of course my beloved Chicago Cubs — and this restaurant pays great tribute to that legacy. The downtown Kinzie location consistently delivers an outstanding experience. They pour an excellent Maker’s Mark Old Fashioned, and the food is top-notch: some of the best calamari, Steaks, a fantastic bone-in ribeye, chops, epic mac & cheese, key lime pie, and plenty more worth trying. The bar here is one of my favorites in the city. I even watched a game during the 2016 World Series here, and it was an epic night. Between the great food, excellent service, and atmosphere, this place is one of my must-visit spots in Chicago. I make a point to eat here almost every time I’m in town, and I bring family whenever they visit. Truly a favorite. Make a reservation or grab a seat at the bar — you’ll feel like a local.”
“Visited Harry Caray’s Italian Steakhouse earlier this week and had an absolutely stellar experience. Right when we walked in, we were greeted by walls packed with memorabilia from all the famous folks who’ve visited—definitely sets a fun, nostalgic tone. We were seated quickly and served fresh rolls to start, which were warm and crusty, a great way to kick things off. We ordered cocktails that were perfectly mixed, and then dove into steaks and a couple of sides (all à la carte). The steak was spot-on: juicy, tender, and cooked exactly as requested. Sides complemented the meal nicely—generous portions and full of flavor. Service was friendly and attentive without ever feeling rushed. Our server checked on us just enough, and made some good recommendations for both drinks and sides. Throughout the night, everything was spotless, and the ambiance was relaxed and comfortable. Even though the restaurant was busy, the noise level was low enough that we could actually have a conversation without shouting. Overall, Harry Caray’s is a classic spot that delivers on both food and experience. Highly recommend for a special night out.”
