Gibsons Steakhouse - Chicago - Filet Mignon

Gibsons Steakhouse
If you ever find yourself in Rosemont, Illinois, does yourself a favor and head on over to Gibson’s Bar And Steak House for dinner. It’s just across the street from the Donald E. Stephens convention center.
If you get there before 6pm, you should be able to find a table. After 6, expect a long wait as the restaurant. We have been here several times before over the years. We made it before six and our hostess seated us and our waiter was over in a few minutes to take our drink and dinner order.
I ordered the Filet Mignon, (Here is a tip for you diners out there: If the restaurant has “Steak” in its name, you order the steak for your meal) The price of my entre was $33.00 plus a diet soda.
The Filet was a solid 8 ounce size, cooked to my specifications, and they nailed it. It was full of flavor, tender, juicy, and cut like butter.
Roll And Butter
Don’t worry, I didn’t forget about the rolls and bread that came with the Filet. The steak was just that good. The bread was also very good, a pretzel style bread roll that when topped with butter, was very tasty indeed.
Hash Browns
Instead of the atomic size baked potato that is a popular side dish option, I went off the grid and selected the house home style potatoes, or hash browns as many people know them by. The portion was generous, the potatoes hot and well cooked, and was a good variation from the standard baked potato.
What you see here was $36.00 before tip. When you look at the 8 ounce Filet, the rolls, and the hash browns, the price was in line. Add top shelf service, a clean restaurant, and you have a fantastic experience and meal.
The Grassy Knoll Institute scores 4.25 out of 5 shots and recommends Gibsons Bar and steak house in Rosemont for dinner.

Gibsons Steak House Filet Mignon

Gibsons Steak House - Chicago
 Each year I travel to the Transworld Halloween and Party trade show held in Chicago, Illinois. Actually, it’s held in Rosemont, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. And each year, I make it a point to have dinner at Gibson’s Steakhouse. It’s right across the street from the Rosemont Convention center.
As you can see, the tables are tight, not standard size tables, it allows more tables and hence more patrons to be seated. Even with the crowded space, it was plenty of room.

Beating the rush, we were seated without delay and our waiter brought us fresh warm bread and took our drink order. I of course ordered a Coca-Cola and although it had Santa Claus on it, the coke was crisp and fresh, and cold.

Perusing the Menu I noticed the prices were very reasonable. As predicted, I ordered the Filet Mignon, medium well done. It was prepared exactly as I like, was juicy, hot, and very flavorful. The baked potato was large, hot, well cooked, and loaded with butter as ordered.

The cost was just over $40 dollars without tip. The Grassy Knoll Institute awards 4 shots out of 5 and recommends Gibson’s Steakhouse for dinner.
