There are a few cities in America that just get steak, and Chicago is absolutely at the top of that list. Whether you’re celebrating a big win, planning a special date night, or simply need an excuse to splurge on a perfectly seared ribeye, these spots deliver. Based on tons of real customer reviews (and my sudden decision to kick off a personal Chicagoland Steakhouse Tour), here’s where you need to go.
