First time here and found my new favorite steak place. Delicious filet cooked exactly as I asked - rare. Sides of Mac-n-Cheese and broccoli were good. Golden Cadillac was also top shelf. Meal type Dinner Price per person $50–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

We found this place when we were hungry for ribeye, a little disappointed that they don't have a lot of choices on ribeye, no bone-in ribeye. I love their salad bar. It earned the extra stars. The steak was thin and was not as hot as we expected. But the service was great, our waiter checked on us every time he walked by. The drink was weak.

I’ve been to the Ribeye twice and both times were great experiences. The salad bar is one of the best salad bars you will find. I recommend getting a ribeye for your first time, but everyone also raves about their chicken. Their menu has many great options, and perhaps the best part of The Ribeye is their service. Both times we had great servers. We were given a complimentary anniversary Sunday dessert on our last visit. Highly recommend!

Really enjoyed our meal. All the staff do a great job. Reservation was honored! I felt kind of guilty as there was a crowd waiting and we were seated promptly. Our meal was prepared correctly and served very timely. Flavor and quality were very good. While we didn't order them, they have a dessert drink menu that looks great.

This is our usual spot for steak. We have yet to have an issues with any of our visits. The salad bar is a meal in of itself. I will forever add the twice baked potato to my meal. My son loves the Mac and cheese. If you looking for a great special I recommend Sundays and Mondays!! They have a 2 can fine special with or without wine.

We’ve been in the area about 6 months and, given an opportunity to celebrate a birthday and Valentine’s Day, we set out to find a place. Happened upon The Ribeye as an option to get some steak that wasn’t quite as expensive as some of the others listed, and hopefully have a decent time. To say our expectations were met would be an understatement. A fun, college-themed interior with enough intimacy to feel personal; a helpful staff (our server, Brian, was among the best I’ve ever seen - spoken from a former server myself); the surprisingly delicious and ample-optioned salad bar (get the house dressing); and, lest we forget the main event, the first ribeye of my 34 year tenure on earth (get the added mushrooms, they’re worth it). We’ll be back. So should you. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $30–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes White Bread Loaf

This was my first time visiting The Ribeye. Located off South Neil Street, it's very easy to get to. The parking around the building is a little tight, but there are plenty of spaces. The inside is more on the dimly lit side with seating that's a little close, especially around the salad bar area. Starting with the salad bar, it's amazing. As a complimentary addition to entrees it's a great deal. The salad was fresh with plenty of options for toppings including real bacon bits. There are a variety of pasta salads to choose from as well, though I did not try any of those. The bread loaf that comes with the table is also amazing. The white bread is soft, but what makes it so great is the heap of butter that comes with it. It's SO good! I went with a 20oz ribeye, medium rare. First cut it was perfectly cooked, which was impressive considering how thick this monster was. It lacked salt for the size, but table salt was available. After salting it was delicious and tender. Unfortunately, not everything stayed so great or this place would have gotten 5 stars. The food is delivered on a hot plate, still sizzling when it comes from the kitchen. Don't touch it or you will be burned. I think this could be mitigated with a handle sleeve, an easy addition, but one overlooked. However, the biggest issue here is that it continues to cook your food while it's just sitting there. My massive medium rare steak was medium well by the time I got 3/4 done with it. When you're paying $50 for a steak, that's the last thing you want. The baked potato was unfortunately overcooked from the beginning and by the time the meal was over I couldn't even cut through the skin due to the continued cooking. The sauteed mushrooms were not impacted by the hot plate and were great from start to finish. The waitress was attentive and very polite, being the first time here she was happy to make recommendations on her personal favorites. I will be back and I do recommend giving it a try for a special occasion, especially if you enjoy a good salad bar. However, I will be asking for a separate plate that doesn't continue to ruin my food. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $30–50

I think the food was really delicious. The steaks are kinda thin but cooked to perfection. For a Wednesday night they were pretty busy. Our food was piping hot, our drinks were never empty. I would only suggest that maybe adding a soup to the menu.

Wonderful dinner! Great atmosphere, excellent service, and fantastic steak. When that ribeye comes to your table still sizzling and popping - oh my goodness!!! Well worth the 90 minute drive!

Stopped in for an early dinner after the football game. Great old school atmosphere with a very nice salad bar. Lots of great university of illinois sports photos on the walls. I got the steak and shrimp. Shrimp was excellent but don't kid yourself. This is not a fancy big city. Downtown steakhouse. Steak was fine. Great! Salad bar and service was awesome.
