Quick and Easy!! I stopped in at Jimmy's Charhouse during a business trip to the Elgin Illinois area. I was staying close by at the Country Inn and Suites and was looking for a place close by to eat. Jimmys Charhouse is a small chain of Steakhouses in the Greater Chicago area. At the time of this review, I had heard that one of the locations had recently closed. The title of my review is Quick and Easy, this is the best way to describe my experience. My trip was a solo one and I was looking for a quick and relatively healthy meal. I ordered the soup of the day which was a minestrone soup which had a good soup base and veggies inside. I could not tell if the veggies were fresh or frozen. Either way, it was a nice bowl of soup, nothing bad or nothing special, just a nice bowl of homemade soup. My main course consisted of a small filet mignon, cooked medium rare with steamed veggies on the side. The steak was flavourful and a good-sized portion. The veggies were steamed just right without being too mushy. Overall a good quick and easy meal, nothing special but I wasn't looking to be wowed that night. The service was good, and I was sat right away in the main dining room. The restaurant was quite busy so it shows that people do go there to eat.

We love to get a special meal from Jimmy Charhouse a few times a year. We have really enjoyed our times dining in as well as picking up and lounging at home. Last night we had filet lignin with lobster, lamb chops, Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp, French Onion soup and a seafood mix that was in a vegetable soup. I have tried many of their dishes and now I always get the lamb chops - they always do them right. Last night was no exception - they were full of flavor and juicy. The shrimp Alfredo is always great as well, and last night did not disappoint either. The filet mignon was great as well. The French onion soup is always better in the restaurant as it doesn’t travel well. The seafood soup was more like a heavy vegetable soup with some little bits of seafood - just didn’t seem like a great thought out dish. The one item that did not taste good was the lobster. It tasted like it had been frozen and overcooked. It lacked flavor and you could taste the water in it. I would recommend dining in, but if you want to pickup, I highly recommend the lamb chops and the fettuccine - both are always winners.

La comida malísima, sin sabor, ni siquiera sal, los platos servidos vulgarmente, grotescos.
