Blackhawk Steak Pit: Legendary Steaks In Illinois

When you’re craving a thick juicy steak, where do you go? Now, not all of us are carnivores but for those who are, there’s one restaurant that serves up some legendary steaks in Illinois. Located in a gorgeous bucolic setting on the Rock River in Oregon, IL, Blackhawk Steak House is worth a visit.

Established in 1978, Blackhawk Steak Pit has long been the go-to steakhouse in Ogle County. In fact, it's the 2021 Readers' Choice Award winner for the "Best of Ogle County" for steaks by Ogle County Life & Rochelle News-Leader.

While you can dine inside, the gorgeous garden patio is where you'll really want to have your meal. Take in the sounds of nature in the most relaxing setting.

Serving high-quality, hand-cut steaks that are cooked to order (and to perfection) on the restaurant's open charcoal pit, your mouth will be watering in no time.

With its open kitchen, guests can actually watch their steaks being grilled. This just adds to the entire experience here at Blackhawk Steak Pit!

Which cut of steak do you prefer? There is a cut for every steak lover that walks through the doors. Whether it's the filet or the prime rib, a center cut top sirloin steak or a bone-in New York strip steak, you're sure to find your meal quite tasty and enjoyable.

While you can have a steak all on its own with sides, why not add a succulent lobster tail and make your meal a surf and turf? Steak and seafood is the best of both worlds, after all!

Of course cocktails are a big hit at this steakhouse as well. Why not pair your entree with a classic or espresso martini, a glass of fine wine, or a seasonal or imported beer?
