    Came in as a party of one. They wanted to seat me in the bar, but I preferred restaurant. After about a 30-minute wait at the bar, I was seated. My server was amazing. He listened to what I was thinking about ordering & helped me make selections accordingly, including a single portion of mushrooms versus having to order a full family-style side. He gave me opinions on the wine menus, even offering me a taste before selecting one of interest. The wine, steak, ambiance, & service was exceptional! I highly recommend.

    Al a cart menu for the most part. For DINNER your walking away $50 lighter(pp) ...easily! Steaks are awesome! I had a salad and a steak...and was happy...and full. White linen table service with friendly hostess and waiters. Also football memorabilia that will keep you busy until food comes out.

    By far a fabulous meal and an even more awesome Staff! Chris did such a great job taking care of our rowdy little crew, can't wait to come back and try the chop. Ask about the amazing roast nachos, twice baked or the filet Oscar style...all cooked to perfection. The GM also appreciated the feedback, just nice folks!

    A must try place for steaks. I had new york steak. Perfectly made as requested. I also had two sides mashed potatoes and creamy spinach. The service given to us by Neal was top notch. Highly recommended if you love meat.

    I ate here during Restaurant Week. You could eat from either the special menu or the full menu. The special menu was a 4-course meal, a fantastic price, and the food was outstanding! Same items on both menus, so either option would have been a winning choice. The staff was friendly, efficient, and attentive, and I would recommend this place to anyone (foodies and Ditka fans alike). Don't miss the salmon or the chocolate cake!

    I came in for lunch the other day and I was impressed by not only the great service, but also the food! The lunch meatloaf was huge and delicious I could barely finished mine. Next time I'm in Chicago, I'll definitely be coming back.

    Steak house burger ordered well done ... Not. That burger was wack less than culvers??? Told me to use stairs to get to restroom, I am an 57 yr old x mlb and have bad knees and hips like Ditka.I felt soo embarassed comming down those stairs when there was easier way w/elevator for someone like me. Drinks were off the hook good. Unprecidented sports memobrolia a must see but I do not think after spending over 120$ I will Re visit the place again.

    I visited Ditka’s for a business meal and I was exceptionally pleased with all aspects of my visit. The drinks were made well and served by a pleasant staff. The waiters were happy and helpful and frequented the table often to assure everyone had what they needed. And the food... oh myyyy oh myyyy the food was absolutely incredible. I ordered the “Tomahawk” steak and even though I like my steaks well-done, it was juicy and cooked to perfection. I felt a little like Fred Flintstone with the giant bone attached but it was one of the best steaks I have had in my life. The side dishes and starter salad were also all amazing too. Thanks Ditka’s for an awesome night with wonderful food and service. I hope I get to come back again soon!

    My girlfriend and I went to Ditka for our Thanksgiving dinner because our families were not in the states. Surprisingly, it made us feel the warmth and comfort, just like you were having Thanksgiving dinner at home! We really appreciated our waitress though we couldn’t remember her name. Next time if we visit Chicago during holidays, we would choose here again to celebrate!

    This is my second time visiting Ditka's and it definitely does not disappoint. They have an excellent selection of wine and our waiter was very knowledgeable about what they had to offer. Their dry-aged ribeye was one of the best steaks I've ever had. If you haven't tried a dry-aged steak, I cannot recommend their dry-aged steaks enough.
