When I visit Chicago, I always have a list of foods I expect to eat. Steaks are always on the top of the list. Weber Grill is great. Absolutely great! We arrived for a late lunch after a long day of meal-free travel by air and a long ride in from O'Hare Airport. Our first thought after checking in to our hotel was food, and we were delighted to find this famous Chicago restaurant just off the lobby of our hotel. Great, good luck! What a way to start our visit.
Weber Grills are famous for at-home backyard cooking, but to see them used in the open kitchen of this restaurant is to see it done right. We ordered steak sandwiches, which were huge. The plate came with a massive serving of potatoes, bread, and beautifully cooked slices of steak, Weber style. We sat at a sidewalk table and were so happy to be in Chicago.
On another day, we returned to this restaurant for dinner. Absolutely make reservations! Our table for dinner was next to the open kitchen. There was great entertainment, but the noise level made conversation difficult. That evening, I had Weber-style barbequed pork, which was fork-tender. Both times, we had cocktails from the Weber Bar. One of the house specialties is red sangria, with enough fruit to call it a salad.
We truly enjoyed this restaurant. The service is great and the quality of the food is very high. When we got our bill, we were given packets of Weber Grill BBQ Rub, and don't leave them behind, as you will enjoy using them in your own cooking.
