"Benny's separates themselves from the great Chicago steakhouses with outstanding service. Knowledgeable, attentive, and understanding of what the guest really needs to make the evening special. Steaks were outstanding, however, the sides were just ok. I'm, surprised the oysters were not served on ice - they were a little warm."

"Two of us celebrated our birthday, wonderful food and the best service ever! Only exception was the "warm spinach salad" was not warm and too much dressing. Maple Cured Bacon as appetizer unique and wonderful, the kale side dish also quite unique! Wine list quite extensive, although pricey."

"We were there to celebrate our older son's graduation from 8th grade. All of the menus had Congratulations Anthony on them, and they gave him a copy. Our server was super patient with us, and on top of our needs. Our younger son really enjoyed the mac and cheese appetizer, he had lobster and crab meat added to it. The steaks people had were cooked to the right temperature. Everything we ordered we shared. Everyone liked the others food, including the short ribs, filets, lobster, salads, bisque, and desserts."

"Benny's is another in a long list of solid steakhouses in the Windy City.
Steaks were high quality, all cooked as ordered. Try the house special bacon appetizer!
Sides were generous and tasty, as we're the desserts we sampled. Wine list was huge, but not well thought out. Too many high priced Cabernets and not a single Brunello on the list! Gimme a break."

"Benny's is a relatively new Steak restaurant in Chicago. We have eaten at Morton's, Lawry's, and Gibson's in the past and decided to try it on a recent weekend trip based on reviews on Zagat. The restaurant is conveniently located on Wabash between Nordstrom and the Trump towers. We felt that the atmosphere was more intimate than the other steak houses. Service was great, our waitperson was very knowledgeable about the menu and was helpful with wine suggestions. My wife and I each ordered the wet aged 8 oz filet, which was cooked and seasoned to our liking. We will definitely be back on my next trip to Chicago."

"Benny's was a wonderful time, nice mix of seafood and steaks. Started out with the maple cure bacon, which I would recommend to everyone, and a dozen mixed oysters from the east and west coasts. Sides were big enough to share and the steaks were delicious. There is a very large wine list but the staff is very knowledgable and made some great recommendations to go with our meal. I look forward to going back some time."

"The service was very attentive and the ambiance was nice, but my steak had gristle in it - - not what I would expect from an upscale steakhouse. It was embarassing to have to repeatedly spit out inedible pieces into my napkin (at a business lunch). Yuck!"

"My Boyfriend and I went for our 1st time to Benny's to celebrate his birthday and we will definitely be going back. They customized his menu by printing it to say Happy Birthday and we got to take it home as a little present! The cocktails we had were pretty good along with the Salmon Tian appetizer. The 7 oz Filet Mignon was a perfect size for me and was very good but my boyfriend's Natural New York Strip was even better. The Parmesan Truffle Fries were exquisite and the wine we had paired with our meals, keeping our preferences in mind, was the cherry on top! My boyfriend chose the Fuji Apple Tart for dessert which they made into his birthday dessert and that was pretty good as well. Also, our waiter was great and very knowledgeable!"

"My wife and I are from Dallas and had dinner at Benny's Chop House over the Memorial Day weekend. A visit to Chicago is never complete without visiting Benny's. Not only do they offer the best food for the $$$ but the atmosphere and staff are some of the best around.
We both ordered the Dover Sole for dinner which was cooked to perfection and the presentation was fantastic as well. We have also had steaks at Benny's which are always rich and flavorful and not too much fat. I have eaten at just about every steak house in Chicago and for me Benny's is by far the best and most reasonable. They also have one of the best wine selections and prices in-town.
I look forward for another opportunity to be in Chicago so I can visit Benny's again."

"Hi,
We ate at Benny's Chop House on Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend. Our waiter Nick was wonderful. He and the rest of the staff saw to our every need and really made us feel welcome.
The steaks are very good, not the best I've ever had but they are very good.
The bacon is tremendous, eat it, love it. Also the truffle mashed potatoes are delicious.
The service made the restaurant worth returning to."

"Our first trip to Chicago and we are very happy to have been able to add Benny's to our experience ! The restaurant is nicely laid out so the bar and dining area are separated. If you want to listen to the music you have to sit in the bar as it can't be heard in the dining area. The menu had a wide selection of beef, and non beef choices. Even a vegetarian can find something to satisfy their taste buds. We ordered from the beef menu. Three different ageing choices. We selected from the wet and dry aged sections. Both steaks were cooked to perfection. We did agree that as described the dry aged was more flavourful...but don't get me wrong, the wet aged filet was delicious too. :). Lots of great sides to choose from all excellent!"

"Went with my family on a Sunday evening. Initially the place was empty and we were led to our table past a group of waiters doing nothing, each of whom felt the need to welcome us. Our waiter was very helpful in explaining the menu and initially was appropriately attentive--not too much or too little. However, this changed about 30 minutes into our visit when the restaurant had filled with groups of business travelers. Our waiter disappeared for long stretches. They were extremely anxious to clear the table after both appetizers and dinner, even trying to take away plates of food that we were still eating from. Instead of paying more attention, the waiter just used some stupid rehearsed lines on us. Food was good, but I will never go back."

"Went to Benny's with a friend who had recommended it because I was considering Benny's for a large group dinner. Maybe it was an off night, but the food was not impressive. We ordered one of the specials, which was a filet mignon with fingerling potatoes and asparagus. Neither the menu nor the server, who was way too chatty about everything else on the menu, indicated that the 7 oz. filet would come out sliced. Although the veggies were fine and the jus was tasty, the steak dried out because it was sliced. Expected a much better meal considering the locale and competition."

"Benny's came as a surprise that I had not been here before. The service was superb, especially our waiter, who was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and wine. He made the entire experience. They were accommodating to split salads so that we didn't have gargantuan portions. I walked away satisfied and satiated, but not overstuffed, as one feels at most steak/chop houses. Great place."

"We started in the bar for a drink. Great bartender, drinks passed my husband's picky standards and the piano music was an extra treat. We proceeded to dinner in a warm dining room with a private and comfortable booth. Our waiter was a riot and was very helpful in recommending appropriate dinner and wine choices ased upon our particular tastes. We both had the filet, which was prefectly cooked to order. The mac and cheese was fantastic with crunchy breadcrumbs on top. The carrot cake was huge and fantastic. We will definately be back!."

"I took my boyfriend here for his birthday based off of recommendations I saw online. The food was excellent, and the server we had was polite but definitely lacked some personality. The filet mignon was one of the most tender filets I have ever had, and my boyfriend was very pleased with his cut of meat as well. Overall, excellent food, but our waiter's personality (or lack there of) kept our experience from being absolutely perfect!"

"I can't say enough great things about Benny's. My wife and I came here for our first anniversary, and we are both have high expectations for what good service means. From the moment we arrived we felt like we were VIPs. We were greeted at the door and mentioned Happy Anniversary to my wife, had specially printed menus, and the wait staff is exceptional. I have to give a special nod to Kelly who took care of us all evening. She was amazing! You will absolutely love the food, the atmosphere and I promise that you will receive fast and friendly service!"

"Everything we ordered was done perfectly. Foodies will love this place. Couldn't have been better. Service was great too. Our server knew the menu incredibly well and could speak at length to any question we had. She sensed that we'd enjoy a slow pace of service without our asking, and was there for every need. I cannot say enough about the service we received."

"Benny's is consistently great and one of Chicago's best steakhouses. My fourth time, we live close by. The only reason they don't get 5 stars across the board this time is that there was a big table next to us and the wait staff was distracted by them. The sommelier, Charles, was very knowledgeable and helpful."

"When in for dinner at about 7pm during week, valet guy was not too friendly and he just gave me the ticket with out saying anything or hello. The hostess was friendly but sat me next to the piano which I didn't think it would be a big deal until I sat down and it was very loud. I couldn't really hear or talked to my girlfriend even tho she was next to me. It wasn't anything I would make a big deal over but when the server first came she didn't introduce herself to us nor did she say welcome or how is day going just simple sever manners that you would find at lower scale restaurant. She was not rude at all just not the type of service I would expect from a place like Benny's, especially for the money your paying."

"In town for a convention, I was fortunate to select Benny's. My six guests were thanking me after their delicious meal.
In a city renown for steakhouses, Benny's is a strong equal without the hype and pompous atmosphere - the know what they're doing and assist you in your selections to assure you of a fine dining experience.
In Chicago - want a steak? - Benny's!"

"I have previously had wonderful experiences here. I brought a client in to Bennys having talked him out of Del Friscos. The salads were small with too little dressing. The bacon appetizer was just OK, too fatty to be enjoyable. The blue cheese croquettes were excellent. As for the steaks the fillet was small (8 oz) with no larger size available without going to the bone in and the Rib Eye was just ok. The service was outstanding and increased the experience from 1 star to 2."

"This was a very special, wonderful experience. Troy ( I believe that was his name) was a great help in choosing our dishes, and he was there whenever we needed anything without being intrusive. Fabulous food! Steak was exceptional, even the sides were perfect. Loved it. Ambience was perfect, intimate, comfortable.

"Bennys was very good. I thought it was unique that they have their own cattle bred to be put on your plate. It was also very good, when I had the opportunity to try some of my girlfriend's wet aged filet vs. my natural filet. As a rule of thumb with steak houses, you must have great sides, and they do. The potatoes, carmelized onions, and parmesan was good enough that my girlfriend who doesn't eat onions ate it. I was slightly disappointed with the lobster mac and cheese, because the lobster chunks were all claw, and not totally evenly cooked. Wedge salad + 2 filets + potatoes + Mac and Cheese = $126 before tax. Our server was very cordial and knowledgable."

"My boyfriend and I went to Benny's Chop House to celebrate both of us graduating college. This was by far the most exquisite dining experience we have ever had. Our server was Steve. He made it special and memorable by printing special congratulatory menus, getting me a shawl because it was a bit chilly, serving dessert on the house, and rolling up our menus like little diplomas for us to take home. It was so refreshing to experience real customer service. Coming from Alaska, it seems to be lost on most. We definitely will come back as soon as we can.
BTW the oxtale cavatelli, bone marrow, and prime ribeye were to die for. Greatest meal of my life!"

"Our waiter, Paul, was over the top, very Windy, pushy, full of himself. The food was just ok, I have had a $14 steak taste as good at their $56 dry aged steak. The drinks were on the high side, and nothing really stood out. There are other steak houses in Chicago that are bettor. Flemings, Joe's, heck even Catch 35 had a better Filet."

"Everything about this establishment was fantastic. What was interesting is that our waiter did not come ask us how our dinner was. I don't know if this is because they don't do that practice or if he forgot. Either way there was no need for it because the food was amazing. And I appreciated not having the interruption! I would definitely go back for another special occasion. Our drink orders were also great."
