Orland Park’s steakhouse scene has been sizzling for decades—this Chicago suburb knows its way around a prime cut. After devouring mountains of ribeyes, filets, porterhouses, and every side from creamed spinach to twice-baked potatoes, we present this definitive guide: the 10 best steakhouses in town. From classic chophouses with white tablecloths to modern spots with dry-aged perfection, we’ve carved through it all.
Zachary’s Grill
$$ | (708) 385-8814 | WEBSITE
Zachary’s Grill gets less attention than the famous, old-school steakhouses in Orland Park. But we find their food—like the Texan Taco and chicken breast stuffed with asparagus—is much more reliable. Plus, during happy hour, the vibrant spot offers a photo-worthy rooftop vibe. It’s $65, credit cards accepted, and features attentive service—think Rylie making celebrations special and Arielle being friendly during drinks.
Come for a casual sit-down lunch or a lively dinner with friends in a place surrounded by Texan decor and loud music from the days of fun taco bars.
Texas de Brazil – Orland Park
$$$ | (708) 998-3008 | WEBSITE
There are plenty of steakhouses in Orland Park, but Texas de Brazil is one of the best. They take reservations, which is a huge advantage, and with a spacious, lively dining area, they don’t mind if you bring a group and enough appetite to have a good time. Plus, their menu is full of expertly prepared meats and salad bar items that are easily big enough to share. For a little bit of both, get the variety of grilled meats and the hot foods from the salad bar.
Outback Steakhouse
$$ | (708) 633-0900 | WEBSITE
Open since 1988, this is Orland Park’s classic steakhouse chain. It’s reliably familiar—think dark wood and warm lighting, booths, Australian-themed decor, and a spacious dining area throughout the single-story building. The suburban spot uses that decades of experience to serve up satisfying steaks like the ribeye, the signature Blooming Onion appetizer, and occasional specials like the Steak and Lobster that can be hit or miss.
And even though the atmosphere feels welcoming with a vibe that’s perfect for an older crowd, you can eat here without breaking the bank—most of the entrees hover around the $25 to $35 range, though some might find it a bit high for the menu that can feel limited compared to others. The service is often friendly, with attentive waitresses who go the extra mile, making the slightly crowded seating arrangements feel cozier than cramped.
Mr Benny’s Steak & Lobster
$$$ | (708) 478-5800 | WEBSITE
Mr Benny’s Steak & Lobster isn’t just one of the best steakhouses in Orland Park—it’s one of the best restaurants in the area, period. This upscale establishment can get quite pricey, so it works best for a special occasion. As soon as you walk in the door, you’ll feel the warm, family-like atmosphere, which feels nice until you realize you’re shelling out around $75 for that exceptional filet mignon.
The meal is actually worth all that money, though, because you’ll get perfectly cooked steaks that include the tender bone-in filet mignon, the rich Delmonico steak, and other excellent dishes like barbequed ribs and sea bass. If you have an occasion important enough to warrant dropping a couple hundred dollars on dinner with wine and desserts, Mr Benny’s is where you should do it.
Petey’s Bungalow Restaurant and Lounge
$$ | (708) 424-8210 | WEBSITE
Most steakhouses in Orland Park feel more like corporate chains than genuine supper clubs. Petey’s Bungalow is one of the exceptions. This vintage spot is filled with dark wood paneling, cozy booths, and servers that still call guests “sweetheart.” The menu is generous and has everything you’d expect, including thick-cut pork chops, perfectly grilled lamb chops, and countless different steak options.
It’s classic comfort food at its best, and you may be lucky enough to hear a regular say “save room for the relish tray” while passing the garlic bread to a neighbor.
The Primal Cut
$$$ | (708) 407-8150 | WEBSITE
The Primal Cut is an elegant steakhouse in Orland Park that maintains a welcoming and upscale atmosphere. It’s flowing with attentive service and a knowledgeable staff that makes it an easy place to settle in for a premium dining experience. The steaks, sides, and standout scallops are all excellent—especially their expertly seasoned ribeye that’s cooked to perfection and served with your choice of potato and soup or salad.
But we’re also big fans of the shareable carrot cake dessert if you want something sweet enough to take some home after a satisfying meal.
LongHorn Steakhouse
$$ | (708) 403-2206 | WEBSITE
When you pull up to LongHorn Steakhouse, you’ll spot a parking lot that looks like a mall on a Saturday evening. And it’s no surprise—they’ve perfected the steakhouse essentials of juicy cuts, hearty sides, and generous portions. The dining room features comfortable leather booths, warm wood accents, and rustic lighting that always gets a nod from couples on date night.
There’s not a disappointing plate on the menu (we sampled), but if you visit and skip the fire-roasted corn with that surprising ranch twist or the perfectly cooked sirloin with a baked potato the size of your fist, you’ll miss what everyone in those booths is likely savoring.
Jenny’s Grill and Banquets
$$ | (708) 229-2272 | WEBSITE
Unlike other steakhouses in Orland Park, this one serves an impressive meal and a welcome—the kind that makes you feel like family from the moment you walk in. The $28 spinach stuffed chicken special features mostly classic comfort food, but there are always thoughtful touches, too, like the accommodating vegetarian options or the surprisingly kid-friendly atmosphere.
Head to the welcoming spot to reignite your appreciation for good value, and leave knowing the secret to hosting a respectful celebration.
Texas Roadhouse
$$ | (708) 444-8358 | WEBSITE
Texas Roadhouse is a steakhouse, but it’s also a quintessential American chain dining experience. It’s been around for decades, and is still outfitted with Western-themed décor and lively lighting, rustic wood accents, and memorabilia from Texas and cowboy culture. The staff has as much energy as the atmosphere itself (and most work hard to keep up with the crowds).
The menu ranges from hearty steakhouse staples like rolls with cinnamon butter and generous cuts of beef, but we’re partial to the value-driven offerings, like the fresh-baked bread and satisfying portions at reasonable prices (and if you’re celebrating a birthday, you’ll hear it, too).
Krapil’s Steakhouse & Patio
$$ | (708) 448-2012 | WEBSITE
Krapil’s is the ultimate Orland Park twofer. The main dining room is perfect for a laidback group dinner of steaks, ribs, and seafood surrounded by a chill atmosphere with live bands on weekends—it’s especially popular on Fridays. But if you’re looking for something truly special, you want a seat on the patio, where bartender Jessica leads the way with excellent service.
That’s where every dish shines, like the blackened grilled pork chops with a huge baked potato and grilled onion, and the excellent prime rib paired with Unshackled Red Blend wine. Either way, you get the views, the vibes, and a delicious steakhouse meal that offers good value for the money.
