About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for business meals
Located in the Burr Ridge Village Center, Eddie Merlot’s offers a steakhouse experience that’s second to none. If you're looking for a night out in Burr Ridge, or nearby Oak Brook, you won’t want to miss this gem. Right outside of Chicago, just minutes from La Grange and Downers Grove, it’s easy to find—and even easier to fall in love with. The luxurious and welcoming atmosphere sets the stage for an unforgettable meal, while its proximity to key local attractions makes it a go-to spot for locals and visitors.

At Eddie Merlot’s, the steaks are the star of the show, with the New York strip and filet mignon stealing the spotlight. Each cut of beef is masterfully prepared, ensuring the ultimate steak experience. And if you’re in the mood for something different, the king crab legs or signature Seabass are equally mouthwatering. But that’s not all! The side dishes are just as exceptional. The extensive wine list and specialty cocktails make this steakhouse stand out from the rest.

    Our steak was overcooked. Asked for medium but got medium well. There was barely any pink and the char on the steak was overwhelming. Drink was tasty but they upcharged the old fashion when they ran out of Woodford and had to switch to Buffalo Trace. Not much but kind of annoying. Waiter was nice but his jokes and introduction feels like pre-recorded audio rather than real conversations. He couldn't wait to leave the table before he could finish speaking. The decor was very old-fashioned, but not in a good way. It just feels outdated.

    MY NEW FAVORITE, IS THE SAUTEED JUMBO SHRIMP. I SWITCHED THE HUMUS TO BRUSSEL SPROUTS, AND ASKED THEY BE OVERCOOKED TO A MUSHY STATE. HAD TO SEND THEM BACK BECAUSE THEY WERE STILL FIRM. THE SECOND TIME WAS BETTER, BUT STILL NOT RIGHT. THE MANAGER GOT INVOLVED AND WAS VERY HELPFUL.

    We enjoyed the Chef Recommendation for dinner. My husband had the Caesar salad and the Filet del Mar. It is a 4oz. filet mignon, Crab, 4 shrimp, Dijonnaise and fingerling potatoes. he loved it and ate it all! I enjoyed a house salad with a great herb vinaigrette dressing and the Lemon-Dijon Chicken. It is 2 herb marinated chicken breasts, roasted garlic mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus spears, lemon-Dijon pan sauce with a charred lemon, Mine was very tasty and delicious. I could not finish it and have some nice leftovers. This special is only $84! This is a fantastic price and well worth it!!!! We also had a bottle of Malbec that we love. They serve you a loaf of warm bread to enjoy with your meal. Our server, George, was fantastic and he hustled! He was also the bartender and really worked hard. THANKS!

    Food was good but average. Prices are outrageous. I would much rather spend my money at other steakhouse restaurants in the area.

    We were given a gift card and this was our first time dining here. We were seated in the bar area. Our server was also the bartender and she was unable to be attentive to the tables. The restaurant was not very busy and our dinner took over 2 hours. One of our dinners was totally wrong so waited for a new dinner. Yes it was comped but in looking at our bill, we were charge for 2 salads which was supposed to be included in our chefs choice dinners. Another issue was the dress code was definitely not enforced. The food was very good but due to the service we will not be returning.
