I just went there and had a very good filet, crispy outside, tender on the inside.  I was being treated to the meal, so I especially enjoyed it.  They are located on 111th Street at about Albany (across the street and a little west of the Firehouse). They are a pretty small place, but they are good.

I am very appreciative of a good steak of any kind, so if anyone has a good place they go to, I'd like to hear about it.  I have also been to Louie's Chophouse in Oak Lawn (on 103rd Street).  The food is excellent there, but it is a little pricey.  Definitely worth it, but not a place I can go to regularly.

Check out Bogarts in Tinley Park.  We used to go to Krapils on 111th, but they changed owners and headed into suckdom.  Bogarts (on 173rd and Oak Park) is cheaper, and IMHO, the steaks are better.  Get a king prime rib.  mmmmm
