About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Good for business meals
Welcome to Hawksmoor Chicago, our biggest and boldest steakhouse yet, located in the iconic LaSalle Powerhouse in River North. We've brought everything we've learned from nearly 20 years in the UK, Ireland and the US to create something genuinely special in downtown Chicago - a city that knows and loves great steak. Named the World's Best Steak Restaurant and a James Beard Foundation semi-finalist, Hawksmoor is built on a simple philosophy: buy the best and let it shine. That means incredible beef from family-run farms across the Northeast and Pacific Northwest, cooked over open fire. Our responsibly sourced seafood from the Northeast is treated with the same care. In our 16,500 sq ft space, with barrel-vaulted ceilings and touches from Chicago's Golden Age of Travel, you'll find world-class dining without formality - no stiff uniforms or scripts, just relaxed, knowledgeable teams who love what they do. Join us for Happy Hour (daily 5-6pm), and our award-winning Sunday Roast.

Experiences

  • Sunday roast

    Multiple dates available
    Sundays at Hawksmoor are all about our Sunday Roast: all-natural, dry-aged, slow-roasted Rump served with crispy beef dripping potatoes, Caraflax cabbage and carrots, gigantic Yorkshire puddings, lashings of bone marrow & onion gravy and the option for a side of cauliflower cheese or slow-roasted bone marrow and onions. Sunday Roast dates back to the 15th century where large joints of meat were roasted on a spit over an open fire; to achieve a similar flavor, we start ours on our charcoal grill and finish them in the oven. Many who've had a Sunday Roast equate it to a Thanksgiving dinner – a comforting, filling meal that is best in the company of loved ones. And, should a Bloody Mary, or two, be consumed alongside it, who are we to judge?

Unfortunately the result wasn’t much better. The plates (as we were warned) were hot, but the food was not even room temperature. This came after waiting roughly 30 minutes for our order. The only appetizer we had was sourdough bread, which took about 20 minutes to arrive and was also cold. Obviously it was a holiday, but it did not seem any busier than any other afternoon. Our waiter was attentive and professional, as was the rest of the staff. The actual product, save for the gravy was disappointing (my stepmother is born and raised in London - I have some experience with Sunday Roast). In general, for Steak, after two tries, I’m likely to go back to Bavette’s after two strikes.

We waited at least 45 minutes for our entrée because the order was not entered on time, we were told. When we did receive it, we were very disappointed in the flavor of our steak, but I might attribute this to the fact that I was tired of sitting there after such a long wait and I was not in the mood of eating. The 2nd floor dining room is very boring also so there was not much to look at. it was obvious to me that a lot more training is in order. Also, for the high prices I was surprised at the very casual dress of the servers.

Steaks were cooked perfectly and the gravy is heart-clogging ‘goodness’ but so worth it. Biggest Yorkshire Puddings ever but again, well worth the calories and exercise to burn these things off. Highly recommended and show up hungry! Will not be disappointed. Our server Heather was so good and really appreciated the complimentary desserts for Father’s Day and my son’s graduation. Unexpected and totally delightful.
