Gibson's

We went to a rare lunch out together at Gibson's in Oak Brook.  Since we have eaten at a lot of steak houses, we just wanted to try a simpler lunch meal. We have been to Hugo's Frog Bar before and they are part of the Gibson's restaurant group and they use Gibson's steaks.

Steak Salad

Steak Tenderloin salad - we ordered a small salad to share but it would have been large enough to be an entree on its own.  There were 2 steak medallions cooked to order with greens, red onions, tomatoes, cucumber and blue cheese.  It was a nice salad and good value (but we are still in search of a steak salad that can rival Weber Grill's old steak salad).

Gibson's Prime Angus Sliced skirt steak with mashed potatoes and corn - nice and tender.  Nick's definition of Medium is a little different than their definition. The corn had some peppers in it to make it spicy and more exciting.

Skirt Steak

Crab mac n cheese with andouille sausage and bacon.  This was a nice creamy dish.  It had good noodles to hold the sauce and the andouille provided good flavor.  There could have been a bit more crab, but maybe the price would have been a lot higher.

Final thoughts on Gibson's:
Food - good steak.  Lots of options, large and small for lunch.
Service - quick lunch service, the food came out right away.  If you worked nearby you could get in and out within the lunch hour
Atmosphere - lots of business people there on lunch.  There seemed to only be valet parking nearby so we parked across the street at the Oak Brook mall for free.
