The Windy City’s most iconic steakhouse serves up classic chop house flavors alongside a slice of history. At Chicago Chop House, be transported to a bygone era with a live pianist nightly and one of the city’s widest selections of steaks.

Start with signature crab cakes or a half-dozen East or West coast oysters. With all steaks hand-cut in-house daily, it is hard to make a bad choice — including Grade A9 Japanese Wagyu beef, wet-aged selections up to 42-ounce Grand Porterhouses and an extensive selection of dry-aged steaks. Make it surf-n-turf with lobster tails or add creamy Béarnaise sauce. Other favorites include lobster mac and cheese and Colorado rack of lamb.

Choose from more than 650 selections on the award-winning wine list including more than two dozen by-the-glass options, all carefully chosen to pair with the restaurant’s menu.

Stop by for Chicago Chop House’s new happy hour in the first floor lounge from 4-6 p.m. Monday-Friday. Appetizers include prime rib sliders with provolone and horseradish cream, Blue Point oysters and filet tip sliders with cheddar and roasted red pepper aioli. On the drink side, all call cocktails and select glasses of wine are $8.

And on Fridays, enjoy lunch at Chicago Chop House’s starting at 11 a.m. featuring salads, burgers, sandwiches, salads, soups and a selection of the restaurant’s renowned steaks and chops.

While at Chicago Chop House, be sure to check out more than 1,400 memorable photographs that adorn the walls. Thanks to the historical society, you’ll see mobsters, politicians, musicians, architecture and more.

Opened in 1986, Chicago Chop House is a mainstay of the city’s steakhouse tradition.
