Hawksmoor Chicago: Steaks, Fries & Martinis. Done Properly
Step inside the historic LaSalle Powerhouse, where London heritage meets Chicago heart. Known globally for world-class steaks, locals flock to Hawksmoor Chicago for another reason. The secret star of our menu is fried in rich beef fat, served piping hot, and happily wearing the crown of Chicago’s second-best fries (because humility looks good on them).
Featured in Chicago Magazine: No. 2 Fries in the City
Don’t just take our word for it, Chicago Mag recently named Hawksmoor’s beef dripping chips the city’s No. 2 best fries. Why? Our signature fries are triple cooked and fried in rendered beef fat, otherwise known as tallow, a method celebrated for its flavor and high smoke point. These fries have a serious following.
Chicago Magazine praises the “variety of steak sauces in the kitchen, from anchovy hollandaise to bordelaise,” but calls out béarnaise as a stand out pairing. Perfect with fries as a bar snack beside a sour cherry Negroni. Our housemade ketchup is unmistakable (even if a little runny), but the heart of Hawksmoor’s appeal is always the chip itself: crisp, golden, and irresistibly rich.
“The best fries in Chicago.”
Chicago Mag
Fries with Swagger
Forget ordinary sides. Our fries are a cult favorite, ideally thick, crisped to perfection, and seasoned with nothing more than salt. London-born, Chicago-adored, they’re the answer to the city’s search for fry perfection. Pair them with steak or enjoy with our martinis and cocktails. These fries are on every “best of” list for good reason.
The Coldest Martinis in Town
When it comes to martinis, there’s zero competition. Chilled to a record -2°F, these dangerously smooth classics are a nod to London’s golden age of cocktails, served in an atmosphere where the lighting’s set firmly to “moody” and the vibe is always “laid-back luxury.” Whether you’re unwinding after work or kicking off the weekend, our martinis headline a menu of James Beard-nominated drinks. Made for sipping, savoring, and celebrating.
