- MMarkChicago / Illinois •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoOverall enjoyable experience. Food was delicious! Portions were HUGE! They had a limited Valentine’s Day menu so couldn’t order what I typically get. But very good none-the-less. Service was excellent (Gladys)! Only minor complaint was we were seated at a corner table next to the doors to the kitchen and they were constantly flapping as busy wait staff were going in and out. I almost got hit by one as we were being seated.More infoMerrill & Houston’s Steak JointPrice: Expensive• Steak• Beloit•4.7
