Welcome to the Backyard Steak Pit in Gurnee, Illinois. When you first walk in the door and smell the open grill, you know right away you are in for a special dining experience. Since 1985 our family-owned restaurant has been committed to fine-dining in a comfortable setting.

All of our steaks are cooked over an authentic charcoal briquette grill, searing in the natural juices. We offer a wide selection of Black Angus-aged steaks, cut fresh-to-order Prime Rib, along with a diverse selection of chicken, pork and fresh seafood entrées.

More than 35 years we remain a favorite steakhouse where our guests unwind while enjoying a delicious dinner or drinks surrounded by a casual and inviting atmosphere.

Please explore our website. Get to know us. We know you’re hungry. Follow the sizzle!
