Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
EJ's Place is a beloved North Shore gem, famed for "the best steaks in all of Chicagoland" and a "classic old-school vibe." The service is "flawless," with standout servers like Christian and Alex enhancing the experience. While the atmosphere is lively, "very noisy," the food consistently delights with "delicious" crab cakes and martinis.

    This was the first time that we went to Ej's and we will go back. Our waiter, George was very nice and definitely knew the menu. The food was delicious!

    The food is always first class. Try the shrimp de jonge for an appetizer. The small filet with Bernaise sauce was as good as I have had anywhere.

    Tables jammed in. Seated by the bar with service staff constantly moving behind and around us. Noise level was so extreme we couldn’t hear each other at a table for four. Food was good but not outstanding. Food prices are downtown at a 1970s suburban location.
