Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
EJ's Place offers "terrific" service and "outstanding" food, making it a top choice on the North Shore. Guests rave about the "incredible" servers, especially Christian and Nick, who enhance the dining experience. While the atmosphere is lively, it can get noisy. Despite the high prices, the "stellar" experience and generous portions make it worthwhile.

    The food is always top-notch. So many EJ’s waitstaff have been employed for so long, everyone feels like family. Great supper club atmosphere and a wonderful dining experience.

    A great gem with a “real” feel of a club. Food is fantastic. The Prime Rib is the best in the Chicagoland area. Worth the splurge.

    As the say, you only have one chance to make a first impression and sadly EJ’s was a disappointment! This was the first time that my husband and I have ever gone to EJ’s even though we have lived in Skokie for 40+ yrs. We typically for to other steak houses with our family but on Friday, we decided to make EJ’s are choice for Date Night! From the moment we walked in I had the feeling we may have made the wrong choice! It was SO LOUD that it was not enjoyable! The table we were sat at was a 2 seater up near kitchen tucked in a corner where clearly we must have been forgotten about!! The waiter was not very friendly (never smiled) but just acted as if he was doing his job. I ordered my steak medium well (very little pick I asked) and it came out RARE!! I sent it back to be cooked as I ordered but by the time it was brought back to me my husband was half way done with his meal!! I also had to ask for a refill on my ice tea and our water glasses were never refilled during the meal! Let’s just say for a $214 meal this was a complete waste of our money!! The real kicker was when we left nobody was even at the from door to say good night or to ask how we enjoyed our meal!! We would have thought that our waiter should have noticed the terrible dining experience we were having and that he would have let his manager know about it!! Dr. Lipin and I will never return to EJ’s based on this most unpleasant dining experience!

    EJ’s Place is our go to restaurant for a great meal and awesome service. They have something for everyone: awesome steak, fresh fish and their meat sauce in their spaghetti is top notch. The valet is complimentary so it’s easy to get in and out (although the guys are super friendly and deserve a decent gratuity too.). We highly recommend this place. You won’t be disappointed.
