Didn't expect this to be as exceptional as it was! Their specials are fabulous and fresh. 'Ancho marinated skirt steak' was incredible, as was the 'Creamy sexy blue cheese wedge salad'. Each item is unique from any other restaurant fare. Ex: This wedge has generous slices (not crumbles) of Amish Blue cheese and dried fig. DELICIOUS! Drinks were very good and quite potent. The service was impeccable.👌 We loved our waiter and his honesty! We would absolutely go back, 100%.

A scrumptious dinner venue hidden away in the corporate building. The service is very fast! The food - the sirloin burger is truly a delight. It’s soft and tender topped up with a blue cheese topping of sorts. The wedge potato’s are a whole other delight! Crispy and substantial. I always order an extra side of these. It’s a perfect blend of crispy outside and edges with a warm, soft middle. The half baked chicken was wonderful: the skin was perfectly crispy and the wild rice gave nice texture. The true star of the show was the pumpkin it was served with - buttery sweet with a crunch from the sunflower seed it was served with. It complimented the savory chicken dish so nicely. The shepherd’s pie was hearty and delicious! Soft creamy mashed potatoes in the top with piping hot meat and veggies! The desserts are always the perfect close to the night. Not too sweet but perfectly savory. I recommend the warm cake. Other recommendations: filet mignon, skirt steak, and crispy Brussels sprouts.

We had a wonderful dinner at Prairie Grass Cafe. The spring rolls were loaded with delicious perfectly cooked shrimp and the accompanying sauce (sweet chili with garlic and cilantro) plays nicely with them. The flounder with roasted carrots and parsnip-potato purée was as delicious as it looks. It was generously portioned and beautifully plated. We also enjoyed the mussels with parsley, shallots, and breadcrumbs pasta. My husband is Sicilian and it reminded us of the pasta con le sarde that we love to have in Sicily. The mussels were plump and delicious. The wine list is very nice. We found wines we really enjoyed and they were reasonably priced. We enjoyed the Attems, Pinot Grigio, Friuli, Italy ‘22 with our mussels and flounder, and the Fritz Haag, Riesling, Germany ‘21 with our pumpkin pie for dessert. Service was perfect.

I was so looking forward to coming to Prairie grass to begin 2024 with their infamous burger. I have the opportunity to travel for work all over the country and I’ve eaten plenty of burgers and you can’t even call this a burger it is divine every Single bite! Not only is the food, but the gentleman who take care of you here are so very warm and endearing the host whose name I do not know, but he has a fabulous accent, and he has always lavished great care on me coming in as a single email traveler. Grass you are among my favorite restaurants in the country. Thank you for a beautiful meal and great service.💙

Prairie Grass Cafe is a chic, upscale restaurant in Northbrook, Illinois that serves modern American comfort food made from locally sourced ingredients. The restaurant has a warm and inviting atmosphere, with a large dining room and a more intimate bar area. The service is attentive and friendly, and the food is consistently delicious. I have dined here multiple times, most recently sitting at the bar and just having wine. The wine list is okay, but I wasn't impressed. There were about 50 available options priced fairly for the area. There are also a variety of beer and some cocktails available.

Ate here for the first time with family before heading to the Chicago botanical gardens. Atmosphere and service were good, food was decent. Main issue I had was that the prices were super high. $26 for a small salad with chicken and $12 for a beer is a bit steep for what we got.

Food is excellent, sevice and atmosphere enhance the meal time with friends or family more enjoyable. Vegetable and meat are top quality and prepared simple and delicious. Nothing is wasted in this restaurant. For sirloin hamburger the staff will ask if you like it with bun or without. I usually have it without bun and the burger has blue cheese toping and sauteed red onion and tomato on the side. The good quality tasty food and service bring people in over and over again
