I see where this place has a 3.x cumulative rating - well, (nit on this night - it's a 5 star night on rhis night! Crab cakes: These actually have some good crab in them...pretty good and good sized. French Onion: a great tasting broth base and love the topper to the soup. Caesar: Good prep to it and good taste. Ribeye Steak: Ok, you see the cook on that steak? Well, that's how you do it! A great scalded outside...but still cooked to a mid-rare internally. That au jus....that was sold darn good tasty stuff! The place has the great feel and look. Very nice and relaxing to enjoy a dinner at this place. Is it cheap - uhm...hello...."Prime" is in the name. lol. But they deliver a great meal and great steak that is great to eat. read more

Tried out their new happy hour, from 3-6 , every day of the week. We took advantage of the half price wine and half price appetizers. We had the oysters, the carpaccio, and the bruschetta.. all good. Saw them serving some watermelon martini cosmo drink, which looked good, I'll try that next time. Bartenders were friendly. read more

First a big shout out to George! He warmly greeted me and showed me to my booth/table right away. He even walked by a few minutes later, to see had my server been to my table. He is the kind of manager, any high end restaurant will love! My server Luis was great and took very good care of me. He took my drink & appetizer order and came after to get my dinner order. The escargot was delicious! Ordered the 17 oz ny strip, side of seafood mac and sautéed spinach. Everything was delicious! Did I mention this was my first visit here? Hands down a great experience, great ambiance and just overall good friendly service! I cannot forget Josh...he helped George take care of a minor matter. But they both was so gracious, professional and friendly! I truly appreciated the kind and personal touch service. See you soon CPS! read more

We were so thrilled with Chicago Prime Italian on Wed. that we had to go to the Steakhouse on Thurs. They aren't far from each other, yet being back on standard time we managed to miss it. From what we read we were dying to meet George the owner who's Greek. Sure enough he was there. We started with a wedge slathered with bleu cheese. We shared a 24 oz. ribeye MR that they sliced for us. We always like a side. Most upscale places are a la carte. Every place makes au gratin potatoes differently, yet these had an unusual taste that put the rest to shame. They are generous with portions all around. Even the same great iced tea as the other place. Jessica G. was our waitress. Someone is always there to clear plates and fill waters. I can't even describe the food and the experience to do it justice. A beautiful place for beautiful people. read more

This place is a joke! Hard bread as soon as we got there no special butter just regular cheap butter nothing great. Ordered most expensive steak on menu the tomahawk steak said medium came our rare cold center sent it back and of course overcooked it! Came with a huge group dropped a lot of money and we all agreed on one thing this place sucks! Really disappointed. Servers were alright Mac and cheese lobster decent nothing amazing about it the amount we paid go see and do research on RPM gibbons Chicago cut Bavetts! For the amount you charge should be ashamed to call yourself a steak house read more

Everything went well! For a party of ten to reach the same conclusion, I call that CONSISTENCY! From the vibe, to the music, to the food, everything was WONDERFUL! And the service, Sheila, Erin, and Tony, spoiled us the entire evening. This could not be properly executed without the professional guidance of an experienced general manager. Spyro's constant hands-on approach with customers by visiting their tables, creates a perfect balance to gauge satisfaction. Thank you, Chicago Prime, for caring for your customers and showing it by employing such high-caliber personnel. Sincerely. Gil & Laura read more

Outstanding as always. Been coming here for years for great food. Met the new Manager George who made us feel right at home. Britney was an amazing server, who we would love to have take care of us always. Very attentive and never had to look for her for service . Great job everyone. read more

I am so sad writing this as it used to be a top favorite. Where to start? Sat in the bar area, which was lively and fun. Waitress started the service, but one of the two bartenders took over...okay, maybe this is a good thing. Not really, Took forever to get our drink order, and it took forever for the appetizers to appear, (but the drinks were great). Now, to be fair they were also handling a large group of about 20+ people who were dancing and having fun with the entertainment (live singer). When the apps arrived, the saginaki's were so over-cooked, that even with a piping hot plates and flaming Ouzo, the cheese had hardened into tough hockey pucks (no oozing and zero gooey goodness). The worst however, was the oysters Rockefeller (and they should've been sent back...as my gut is screaming hours later in the bathroom). Under the tasty topping, the oysters had a mealy, gritty mouthfeel (no discernible sweetness or suppleness)...not fresh. Small things also took away from the special occasion night, like having to hold the cumbersome plastic menus throughout the appetizer course (irksome), as was the general lack of attention paid to the waters refill, or used plates and glasses inconsistently cleared, etc. Entrees...two steaks, ribeye and filet (perfectly cooked), and two dover soles (okay, but not stellar) and served over a weird medley of grated limp veggies (carrot, zucchini, ?). The accompanying lemon butter caper sauce, while tasty, was separating so badly (both in the servicing dish as well as on the fish) leaving it oily, which was not okay. The béchamel sauce that came with the filet had a metallic/chemically after taste and quickly congealed in its dish too...it wasn't consumed after one wasted bite. Soup (cream of mushroom) and salads were top notch, but the dessert (sold as funnel cake reminiscent) was more a fluffy baklava-ish dough that would've been better with served with more whip cream and raspberries or honey to aid in it's appreciation. Wine and drinks were stellar, but the service lacked and the food wasn't great. As members of their millionaire club, we used to anticipate a great occasion out meal at Chicago Prime...not so much any more. read more

The trifecta! Food, service and ambiance! Went here for Fathers Day, party of 5. As soon as we walked in we were greeted so warmly. Our server was Nick (and Alex), very knowledgeable, super quick to answer any questions and never rushed us! The food was amazing!! An abundance! For once I can say you get what you pay for and mean it. You're not walking out of here hungry. Can't wait to go again, I think we have found our new steak house! Thank you for making our celebration memorable! read more

Chicago Prime Steakhouse has always been my go to place for celebrations. I've been coming here for years, even after moving away because the atmosphere, the consistently excellent steaks, and above all, the incredible people keep me coming back. George always makes you feel special, like part of the family. We recently celebrated my mother-in-law's milestone birthday here and ordered filet mignon, surf & turf, ribs, wild salmon, plus appetizers. Every single dish was fabulous. If you want to celebrate and make your occasion feel truly memorable, this is the place. Chicago Prime Steakhouse will always hold a special place in my heart we've celebrated so many milestones here, and each time it feels extraordinary. Thank you, George and team, for always making our moments unforgettable. read more

Chicago Prime Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

This was a fantastic dining experience. A friend of mine is part of their "Millionaire's Club", where they match what you put on your card. I think it starts at $50/month, which means $100/month ends up on your card. It rolls over when you don't use it, so he had about $400 on the card when the four of us went. The restaurant is beautiful and classic. They have lounge singers that come on certain nights but we didn't get a chance to see a performance when we were there. I would definitely come back to sip a cocktail in the bar area, order some appetizers, and see live music. This place has the right vibe for that. As far as food, we sampled a decent amount of the menu. We started with octopus, Blue Point raw oysters, and oysters Rockefeller. All of the appetizers were delicious, especially the grilled octopus, which had just the right amount of char and a tasty sauce. For dinner, we had prime rib, steak and cake (filet mignon w/crab cake), and a rib dinner with garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus as side items. Everything was perfectly done. The au poivre sauce I added to the filet mignon was delicious and well balanced. The crab cake was crisp on the outside and mainly crab meat rather than bread, which was impressive. The mushroom soup was full of fresh mushrooms and well executed. The garlic mashed potatoes had roasted cloves in them. I don't even like mashed potatoes, and seriously, they were good. For dessert, we had cherries jubilee, which comes on fire (brandy, is the alcohol they use, I believe). It's a fun dessert for the table. The ice cream, sauce, and cherries satisfy a sweets craving without being over the top sugary. For drinks, the table ordered beer, red wine (zinfindel), and Manhattans. Drinks were good, I really enjoyed the wine with the meal. Unfortunately, a lot of their wines are sold by the bottle, so it will limit your selection if you're the only one at the table drinking wine, like I was. Service was very attentive but never pushy, as you would expect in this kind of establishment. This is definitely a great find in the area. read more

I came here with a group of people who eat out quite often (especially on business trips). We don't have unrealistic expectations or requirements. Just asking for good food and reasonably good service. This was neither. The food was all over the place. Some of the apps were really good while others were just decent at best. The steaks were a mix of results also. One was WAY overdone while another was slightly under done. I ordered the salmon asking for it medium to medium rare. It was almost well done. They replaced the overdone steak but it took quite a long time to come out so everyone else was finished eating when it arrived. Our server was absolutely bizarre. He was asking us personal questions and then when he found out about our business, he started showing us pictures on his phone of related items and asking us lots of questions. In the meantime, he forgot certain parts of orders, tried to convince us that everything was correct and was just generally odd. At the end of the meal, the manager offered us (or possibly just the one person with the problem steak) free dessert but by then, we just wanted out of there. We go to the area at least once a year but I highly doubt that we'll be returning to this place. read more

Andy J, I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I would like to clarify that my intention was never to harm your business. I have been a loyal customer for over 25 years and have enjoyed many family gatherings and celebrations at your restaurant, which is why this experience was disappointing. I fully understand that mistakes happen, and I was told the reservation mix-up was due to a human error with the hostess. My concern was not the delay itself, but how the situation was handled. After arriving early for what I believed was a 6:00 PM reservation, our group waited about 45 minutes to be seated. When I asked if the restaurant might consider a small gesture, such as a round of drinks, it was only meant as a suggestion-not a demand. Great customer service is often measured by how situations like this are handled. A simple acknowledgment or a bit of empathy would have gone a long way. My review reflected disappointment with this particular experience, not your restaurant as a whole, and I certainly never said I would not return. Kind Regards Sue V read more

Hub-hub and I were seeking a nice place for a post-Thanksgiving meal - Morton's has always been a go-to for us back in Cali, but we wanted to try something a bit more - you know- local. Chicago Prime Steakhouse is family owned and seemed a classy joint - so away we went! We made a reservation earlier in the day, and when we arrived we were instantly seated in the middle of their beautiful dining area. Service was absolutely prompt, and the ambiance was - shall we say? Sublime. We started with the Colossal Shrimp Cocktail - which was beyond words. Magnifico! Crisp. HUGE. The sauce with horseradish- perfection. I had the Steak Diane, which (as anyone who's been to the Peppermill in Reno can attest) is a hard one to match. Chicago Prime came the closest yet- 8oz/225 g of two delicious filets cooked medium well (perfection for the author). Hubby had the Filet Trio - 3 4 oz/113g filet medallions - absolutely amazing. We looked at each other and said -without a doubt- we'll be back! To top it off, the manager offered us a free drink in the bar as we were about to leave (we had to pass as we'd already had our glass of wine at dinner) - what a nice touch - to welcome us to Chicago! So cool. But I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the warm bread - the crisp salads - and the ambiance. Wow. We'll come again. If you've not been? You need to go. read more

Was my first time at Chicago prime. The ambience and the live music made the experience even better. Food and service was great!

It was my first time at Chicago Prime. And over all it was a lovely experience. The restaurant is all decked ouout in Christmas decor, which is absolutely beautiful. Just for that I would recommend you visit this holiday season. Our server was very nice and the other staff (buss man,and food runners were so friendly, There was a retired seater. Who is charming,and full of fun stories. Now the Menu is full of all tasteful goodies. Including a nice cocktail menu. Our service was steady. And give us time to catch up with our friends. I had the special soup. Chicken and rice. Very good. I could have eaten a second cup. I love lamb chops. So that's what I chose. The chops were a rack of lamb cut into small chops. 5 I believe. I order them Med Rare. Sadly they were cooked closer to medium. Two of us ordered the garlic mash. The mash was just warm. Now normally I would say something. But I knew I wanted to take my food home. So I left it alone. I will always give a restaurant a second chance. But this restaurant is high end. So it will be awhile before I could afford to return. read more

We made reservations a month in advance for 7 PM on New Year's Eve. Our party of 10 people arrived by 7 PM. We were not seated until 810. We understand it was New Year's Eve but the reason they said that we couldn't be seated was because there was another party of 10 ahead of us that would not vacate the table. Apparently they had no other 10 seat table available in the restaurant. The hostesses were rude. Our server was nice. They had no oysters available on the menu and didn't have the two desserts that we wanted. You would think after making us wait an hour and 10 minutes, they would comp something. The manager came to the table later in the evening and apologized for the wait but said nothing further. read more

First off, the staff was friendly and our server, Natalie, was excellent. My wife and I ordered a specialty cocktail which was done to near perfection. As an appetizer we ordered escargots, which were prepared perfectly, in the traditional manner. For a main course my wife ordered Filet Au Poivre (peppercorn steak), and I ordered their Steak Diane. This is where, in my opinion, the restaurant fell short. On the plus side, the filets were both prepared medium rare, as ordered. They were also very tender and tasty. On the negative side, they took major shortcuts in the preparation, which was rather disappointing. Steak Au Poivre should be a filet with a seared peppercorn-crust, finished with a rich pan sauce, consisting of butter, shallots, Cognac, and cream. What was served instead, was a filet covered with peppercorn gravy. Likewise, the steak Diane, which is very similar to Steak Au Poivre, with the addition of mushrooms, less the crushed peppercorns, used the same, rather uninspired gravy. Simply swapping mushrooms for peppercorns. In both cases, the steaks bore little resemblance to the actual, traditional preparations. This is something I'd expect from a mid-level, family style restaurant, rather than a high-end restaurant, charging high end prices. Especially one that has "Steakhouse" in its name. In my opinion, this is a major fail. All in all, not a bad experience, but disappointing and I think overpriced. With so many options, I'm not sure I'd go back. read more

I am now learning that Yelp limits the amount of photos you can add to a review. I have more pics including the wines and additional dessert but could not add it to this review. This was my first time here on a saturday evening to celebrate a birthday. everyone around was there celebrating too as every table recieved a cake and huge sparkler. the birthday boy however, requested no sparkler and only a small candle. The service from Marc was awesome! He had a good attitude, sense of humor and was very attentive to our table. The menu is good old fashioned steakhouse with some surprises like saganaki. I like the mix of offerings like French escargot to the Greek saganaki as well as the American mashed potatoes. While the prime rib came out overly done bc i asked for medium rare, they replaced it with a cowboy ribeye that was more medium. I am glad they did something at all to rectify. There are quite a bit of steakhouses within an 8 miles radius of my home and this is a strong contender for me to return. Some details to note: great that Marc has the stainless steel table cleaner in between courses. They paid attention to the reservation noting it was a birthday. Restrooms are very clean. The bar are was super lively probably helped by the live musicians! read more

Had the pleasure of eating here for the first time last night. Overall, very pleased with the experience. - fair pricing for a high end steakhouse - server was very attentive and helpful, I don't think my glass of water/Diet Coke was empty until the very end where I said no thank you - sautéed calamari was fantastic, I normally just default to fried and breaded. But the white sauce it was cooked with was great - shrimp cocktails were actually large shrimp, appreciated that - sizes are shareable, mash was a little too soft for my liking, mushrooms were good, and lobster Mac was good - steaks were the only thing disappointing during our dinner, though they were accurately sized, they were just not as flavorful as I would like. Our tables had filets, bone-in ribeye, and a cowboy cut. I think they sous vide prior to grilling. I prefer all grilling, but I understand that every establishment has their own practice. I look forward to trying other things in the future. read more

Overdue review! After pizza the night before, we decided to try this steakhouse. This is one of the best places to go if your trip brings you here. It's a cozy steakhouse with a touch of smiley! Alexandra, the host, kept the place warm all night, and working alongside her was a manager or somebody who greeted patrons. We came here with a friend. We had a waitress named Sheila, and she's lovely! She kept her professional poised at all times. We had stuffed mushroom caps, shrimp cocktail, and escargot for appetizers. Yummy! Excellent choice for all three appetizers! I loved their escargot! We decided to share a tomahawk because I'm not a huge steak eater, but I love trying different ways the steakhouses make it so that I could compare the marination and the sauce. Tomahawk was amazing. It didn't disappoint me, honestly! We had it with two types of vegetables, French green beans, and sautéed spinach. Everything that this place served that night was excellent! It was such a great experience, and we will return! The place had excellent music playing in the background. I'm sure a nice classical band is somewhere. They're more than just one dining area, I think. I didn't do the tour of the steakhouse, next time. Our room had a touch of the Victorian-style interior, of course. Excellent food and service! Thanks! read more

Food was incredible. This place has great quality steaks and they cook them perfectly. Everything else you would expect from a steakhouse as well. They also have a nice wine list and serve Caymus by the glass. Service was impeccable. Our table of three had two servers and a helper. I can't say enough about how nice and friendly they were and they accommodated every request. Going into the kitchen and asking the chef. And always finding a great solution. The dining room is nice. High ceilings. Sheer curtains let in natural light. This is a great steak place. It's expensive but it is very well worth it. read more

The Chilean Sea Bass is outstanding. It's our go-to. Josh and Miles at the bar are the best!!

Rarely does one enjoy a culinary experience like the one we enjoyed last evening at Chicago Prime. Our party of four from Connecticut and Nevada seeing long lost family for the first time in a long time. The minor seating glitch where the hostess mistakenly placed our party of four and our family members, who we hadn't seen in 25 years at separate tables in the same dining room. My wife's cousin finally had the sense to go on a search mission and actually recognized me after a couple decades and some serious aging on my part. It was a real hoot as we laughed about being in the same restaurant but at different tables. Appetizers were soon order and it was then I realized this wasn't your normal Midwest steakhouse. The shrimp cocktail was particularly fresh and popped when bitten into. A common food that was uncommonly delicious. There was also French Onion soup and calamari for my 5 year old grandson. He devoured that dish with great enthusiasm. Entrees were soon to follow. Quickly and efficiently brought to our table by a top notch waitress who somehow managed to keep all drinks topped off with never having to ask or beg. A rare occurrence if you're thirsty while eating and there is never anyone to help. From rare serloin to phenomenal 10 ounce filets, everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves. Imagine seeing loved ones for the first time in years and being treated like kings at the same time. Particularly impressed by the owner a wonderful gentleman who knows how to work a room. A guy who took a genuine interest in your opinion, and who made sure everyone was perfectly satisfied with their meal. This was one of those special nights. One of reunion and the evening our our lives. I can't imagine how lucky I'll have to be to top this one. A rare occurrence during times of poor service and seemingly disinterest in pleading the customer. Yes it's expensive, but worth every penny. Go to Chicago Prime to see for yourself. There are places that still do care. And order the filet - you'll be glad you did. read more

Greeted nicely and seated in a nice booth. Service good. It was my birthday and the food quality was really poor. I opted for 2 starters rather than one appetizer. The octopus was slimy and chewy, the oysters were a whole lot of toppings in a huge shell. The actual oysters were the size of my thumb nail. Really poor quality. My husband opted for steak and he had more luck though wasn't worth the $$. Not high on my list to return. read more

My husband and I had dinner at this location tonight and it was exquisite. Our server was phenomenal and Anthony was on top of clearing our table and making sure we were doing great. The only reason it's 4 stars and not 5 is because we were interrupted by a server who was yelling at a bus boy. She could have talked to him privately but instead made sure everyone could hear her say "you're just a bus boy, do your job!" She was a blonde older lady with glasses. Other than that unfortunate and unprofessional event, dinner was great. read more
