Colin NelsonJune 15, 2015Fullback filet is delicious. Best twice baked potato I've ever had. Great drinks too. Go early and look at all of the memorabilia if you're a football fan. So much awesome.
Christian BorgesOctober 18, 2013Wow. I was going to go the fish route, but decided to go beef. Ribeye, thank you very much. Damn. One of the best cuts of meat, and best seasoned. Awesome. Also, get the lobster Mac & Cheese.
Jennifer RibbleFebruary 15, 2014So impressed with this place. Tomahawk cut ribeye (add garlic crust) and Filet are both amaze!!!! For sides do the crab Mac and cheese and the tamale. Desert do Banana cream pie!
Silvia DizAugust 14, 2013Their prime steak burger is the best!!!!! You can only get it during your lunch time. Beware if your a tourist the dinner menu is an expensive steak menu$$$. No burgers around Dinner time. FYI!!!
Amanda AmbornSeptember 16, 2013Half hour wait on a sunday. Service was great though. Steak with red skin mashed potatoes were bommbb!! But the best side dish was the lobster Mac n Cheese- tastes amazing!
ChicagoistFebruary 25, 2016Da Coach knows his way around beef—that’s a statement of fact. You don’t have to be a fan to appreciate his steak-centric meateries. However, the pot roast nachos make their own case for a visit. Read more
Cincy JenJuly 15, 2013Great ambiance, service and food. Shrimp cocktail app was awesome, 4 huge prawns. Skip the lobster mac and cheese though, sounds awesome but not worth the price
Chris VitaleFebruary 17, 2017My favorite place in Chicago. Had a work meeting here last night and every single attendee was as impressed as I always am. Highly recommend.
Diego ReynosoApril 25, 2015Come for the food (appetizers and steaks) and stay for the desserts (best banana cream pie)
The Social LightsJune 22, 2012Find the Mike Ditka Medallion Vender and purchase a Gridiron Support Medallion for $20. Net proceeds go directly to Mike Ditka's Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund!
Joe DonovanJanuary 10, 2014The pot roast nachos are great. If there's only two of you or you don't want a lot, ask for a half order.
Jay SmitsMarch 2, 2013Excellent service, excellent food, excellent place to have a casual dinner or a formal one. Can't wait to get back to Chicago to go to Ditka's
JeffJanuary 19, 2012The 'kick-ass paddle steak' (bone-in ribeye) is the steak to get. If you must have a filet, opt for the bone-in filet. Skip the desserts here and head somewhere else for sweets.
Chicago magazineMay 7, 2012Da Coach himself often shows up for wedge salads, Angus rib eyes, and banana cream pies at the manliest spot in the Gold Coast. Read more
Tiffany WileyFebruary 17, 2014Delicious food. Raspberry Smash okay. Lobster mac n cheese good. Steak taste n cooked perfectly
Wayne SilverMay 16, 2014Sit on the Patio and order a Beer and the Sliders. A great way to spend a sunny afternoon!
Pocket SunAugust 11, 2014Good lunch menu. The lobster roll was pricey and small. You can get a decent lunch here at a reasonable price.
Nick RinaldiJuly 26, 2014The steak and crab cakes were awesome. Try "The Coach" cabernet sauvignon too
Jamie RasmussenApril 5, 2013Wedge salad? Aaaaammmazing. Seek out Chad at the upstairs bar. Great bartender, really took care of us.
Brandy MeansSeptember 11, 2011They were nice enough to let me trade a high top no back bar stool for one with a back. I love great service. Go Bears!
If there exists a better appetizer than the Pot Roast Nacho's at Ditka's, I'd like to know where it is and what it is.
Vinnie DaboulJanuary 27, 2016Apps were a surprise, outstanding. Service was excellent. Steak came out cold.
Crain's Chicago BusinessMay 10, 2010For salad lovers, try the satisfying steak salad. Well-seasoned sirloin is served on a huge pile of fresh, crisp greens sprinkled with mild cheddar and french-fried onions.
John K.February 7, 2011Great all around grub. Dined upstairs and sat next to Coach Ditka, which is not an uncommon experience. Great steaks. Great place.
Amy CerconeAugust 20, 2012Try the Stir Fried Vegtables - A little too much ginger for my taste but the veggies were stir fried to perfection...
Edco LongsleevesAugust 26, 2014If you're not up for a steak, go for the spaghetti and (giant) meatballs.
Dave KoganAugust 12, 2012Always bring something to have autographed cause Da Coach may be there. He has Sharpies at the table.
Dave MillerNovember 22, 2013OMG ?? If you put the meatloaf on top of my head my tongue would beat my brains out!
One of the best Bloody's in Chicago! Also love the oyster shooters & pot roast nachos
- Arnie PennDecember 14, 2012Best mashed potatoes ever! Also they the maple crown on the rocks. O boy!
Lori GuerriniNovember 14, 2010You have to try a Bloody Mike. It is the best Bloody Mary in Chicago. Great service! I love this place.
Roosevelt CollectionNovember 15, 2011Can't go wrong with the kick ass paddle steak and a glass of of "kick ass" red wine!
