My husband and I went for dinner and our server, Chris, was so friendly and welcoming! As well as the rest of the staff! We loved our food and would definitely go back again.

It's a steakhouse so I expected a perfected steak instead the steak was actually charred around the edges and black as well as crunchy,I ordered medium rare it was nothing special at all.
Not kid friendly either cold and bland dried up.
also very expensive, I proceeded to order a side as the expensive steak did not come with a side(so strange) I ordered asparagus as my side that cost 16 dollars, that is quite a bit of money for a small amount of asparagus, it was not worth the money at all and also burned.
It was disappointing, I went in the next day the owner was there standing around, I was listening to music on my phone not loud and the manager came up and told me to turn it off, as if I was bothering anyone in the empty outdated dusty restaurant, I had been served two small rolls of bread which the prior day I was not, so I would say very inconsistent and the manager was very rude. After that I was so annoyed I left. I have never been told I couldn't talk on my phone or listen to music.
Empty restaurant!
If you don't want to be bothered with burned steak or told not to speak on your phone or listen to music like it's not your right or anything, go somewhere else! So many good options around.
I left a hefty tip as well. 30 plus dollars. I would give a 1 star but did think the servers were nice, that's it.
Garbage food and the manager was rude and mean.

When I was staying at the Drake on vacation I stumbled upon this classic steakhouse. The atmosphere and location are perfect. I got the rare petite filet and it was some of the best marbling and taste I’ve had. The waiter Eddie was very welcoming and polite. If I am ever back in Chicago the first place I will go is Rosebud Steakhouse.

If you are looking for the all American experience then this is the place to be. From start to finish the waiting staff were amazing, very helpful with recommendations and so friendly. Then there's the food. I had the trio of steak and it was the best meal I have ever had. Over ordered the sides, was recommended to order 1 side each but ordered 2 as it all sounded so nice, far too much food but every mouthful was joy. You need to book as very busy.

I recently visited Rosebud Steakhouse for a corporate dinning event. Typically these type of dinners can put a stress on the restaurant because it's 60+ diners at one time but Rosebud's excelled. Their entire staff was flawless with our group and every aspect of the meal was outstanding!!
As I mentioned 60 of us walked in at the same time and the staff had drinks for EVERYONE in the first 10-15 minutes, which was amazing. This wasn't just pouring wine or water, I mean Old Fashion's, summer drinks off their menu, etc, etc.. They kept this level of service up the entire night, maintaining water glasses, refreshing drinks, and exchanging plates/silverware.
Every food item seemed like we were sat for a party of 2. From appetizers to dessert the night was flawless. Soups were hot, salads were cold, every steak had a great sear on both sides, all accompaniments were fresh. You could tell nothing was sitting around.
I can't speak highly enough on how professional and amazing the staff, food, and overall restaurant was that night. I can't wait to go back again!!

The steak was terrible by all means to be a steakhouse. However the appetizers and the salads as well as lamb chops were excellent . .. very over rated for a steak.. no no And NO.

I will definitely come back! As soon as we entered, we were welcome and seated right away. Our waiter, Jay, was super informative and super nice. I ordered the Kansas City Strip in medium and it was seasoned perfectly and cooked to my taste. It was so delicious, actually one of the best steak I have had. The oysters were so phenomenal and fresh, I actually wanted to order more! Our sides were enough for a group of three to share around. Loved everything about this experience at this restaurant. Thank you!

From first step in the door , it’s an experience. The atmosphere is old Chicago charm. You feel like the most important people there. The food was absolutely amazing taste and textures. Everything was cooked perfectly and they made sure the food I ordered did not contain anything I could not eat (food allergies ) and even improvised the recipes without hesitation . The chefs have to be very good and well trained. The staff was so great and welcoming and charming . Would definitely love to come back .

We had a great meal here. Service was excellent, drink's were very good.
Everything was 5 star except for the caprese salad. I love a caprese salad, so we ordered one. The tomatoes were good, the mozzarella fresh, but that's all that was positive. It had red onion on it, which I personally liked, but it was whole slices, not just a few rings. It was a bit overpowering. There was barely any Basil on it, and couldn't be tasted with all the onion. Also there wasn't much balsamic reduction on it. We were disappointed, but didn't let it bother us.
My wife got the Asian Sea Bass and thought it was awesome. Fish was cooked perfect and the sauce was an Asian BBQ style that was great. She really enjoyed her meal.
I ordered the Delmonico ribeye. AWESOME! I like my steak rare, and it was cooked perfectly. Great sear. Great flavor. Great seasoning. Just an awesome steak. If you're a steak lover, this one's for you!
We also ordered mushrooms and onions for the table. Probably some of the best we have had to date. Great flavor. Not too soft but not too firm.
A bonus to the meal is the bread. Great buns. Buttery and salty. Freshly baked.
Our waiter was Eddie, and he was superb. Took great care of us. Very helpful with the menu and drinks.
I'm really glad we had dinner here. It's worth checking out.

I don’t even know where to begin as this was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had in a Chicago restaurant, and I’ve been living here since 2007! First of all, the hosts up front are friendly and hilarious and even wished us a happy anniversary before we sat down as we mentioned that we were celebrating our one-year in our reservation. Our server Stephanie was phenomenal and very knowledgeable about the menu. My husband had the Chicago cut ribeye and I had the petite filet and we both shared the mashed potatoes and corn off of the cob. We had a wedge salad to start. The food was delicious and the steaks perfectly done. The ambiance was warm and friendly and all the staff were on point. Excellent service all around. They even surprised us with their butter cake dessert with salted caramel ice cream, which was to die for. We will definitely be back and will recommend Rosebud Steakhouse to all of our family and friends. This is a perfect spot for special occasions (or any occasion, really)!!
