“Rosebud Steakhouse exceeded every expectation. We came hungry and left already planning our next visit. The Lobster Got (their take on escargot with lobster) was absolutely incredible—rich, buttery, and unlike anything we’ve had before. The oysters were fresh, cold, and delicious. The 22 oz Original Chicago Cut bone-in ribeye was cooked to perfection with an amazing crust and incredible flavor. The Chicken Calabrese was also outstanding and a great option if you’re not in the mood for steak. The sides deserve their own shoutout. The steakhouse mashed potatoes were creamy and comforting, the grilled asparagus was perfectly seasoned, and the crispy Brussels sprouts were easily some of the best we’ve had. What really made the evening special was the attentive, friendly service of Jay (our wonderful server) and the classic Chicago steakhouse atmosphere. Every course came out perfectly timed, and we never felt rushed. If you’re visiting Chicago or you’re a local looking for a fantastic steakhouse, Rosebud Steakhouse should be at the top of your list. Highly recommended!”
“Just absolutely amazing. We got a great waiter who was funny, personable, and positive. The dinner selection was on point with his suggestions. We had lobster baked in butter and covered with cheese for an appetizer. For the entrees, we had a full chicken, Asian tuna, sauteed mushrooms and onions, and jalapeno hash browns. The desserts were also fantastic. I will definitely come back here.”
“What a fantastic place! Great cocktails and wine selection. Food was phenomenal. Excellent dessert. Atmosphere is lively.”
“We only went for a light dinner and it was excellent. First of all. The service is outstanding. I had a hamburger w fries but I ordered a side of mac.and cheese and it was delicious . The place is beautiful all wood, the atmosphere is very nice. I hope to.return one day to try the other dishes and steaks .”
“We had an outstanding experience at Rosebud. Everything was absolutely perfect—from the atmosphere to the food, and especially the attentiveness and professionalism of the staff. It’s clear that this restaurant is run by a very strong chef and an excellent management team with a well-established culture and consistency. There wasn’t a single issue or even a minor detail that we didn’t enjoy. During our 3-day visit to Chicago, we ended up dining here twice—and honestly, we wished we had come here on the third night as well. A special thank you to Chris, Ryan and Damien for taking such great care of us—they truly made our experience even more memorable. Highly recommended.”

“Genuinely where do I even start First off let me praise the staff for giving my partner an amazing dinner for her birthday back in October. The steak was amazing, the macaroni was Devine, and the ambiance was perfection. I could not recommend this steakhouse enough. Will go again! Hoping to return soon🤞”
“Classic Italian steakhouse with a comfortable, old school feel. The setting is warm and inviting, the portions are generous, and the steaks are well cooked with solid flavor. It feels like the kind of place you go when you want a more traditional dinner rather than something trendy. Service is professional and attentive without being over the top. Prices are on the higher side, but what you get feels worth it if you are after a hearty steak dinner and a familiar, reliable experience. Not flashy, just a solid choice for good food and a relaxed evening.”
“We loved Rosebuds!! Our server was so hospitable, knowledgeable, and helped create such a wonderful night! The food was also impeccable! Try the mac and cheese and the trio medallions, both amazing!! It was so cozy inside and great for a birthday celebration, anniversary or just because!”
