This Year’s Participating Restaurants
Chicago Northwest Restaurant Week 2025 brings a diverse mix of restaurants, from classic steakhouses to bold global flavors and a few unexpected surprises along the way!
For perfectly charred meats, Wildfire is always a solid bet, serving up signature wood-fired steaks and chops. Over at Shaw’s Crab House, the focus is on fresh seafood—think oysters on the half shell, buttery lobster tails, and rich clam chowder. If you’re in the mood for heat, Mago Grill & Cantina delivers bold Latin flavors, while Gaylord Fine Indian Cuisine leans into slow-cooked curries.
If pasta calls your name, Francesca’s Tavola is your go-to for rustic Italian classics. Ramen USA keeps things cozy and no-frills with rich broths and handmade Japanese noodles. Looking for something interactive? Shabu-Yo offers an all-you-can-eat Japanese hot pot where you can cook right at your table!
Barbecue fans should head to Porky’s BBQ, where smoky brisket, pulled pork, and fall-off-the-bone ribs steal the show. And if you’re after something with a locally sourced touch, head to Scratchboard Kitchen.
