94 West Steak and Seafood; Surf and Turf Grill Masters

94 West Steak and Seafood Restaurant Review

I recently had the pleasure of dinning at one of the South Suburbs Award Winning Steakhouses, 94 West Restaurant. Of course I had to face the facts this weekend and realize that I may be a master of the barbecue grill, but it’s next to impossible for me to obtain the best restaurant quality Prime Steaks and broil it to perfection at temperatures as high as 94 West Restaurant can.

The owner, Bryan Sord brings back old world charm to this Steakhouse while delivering us a modern chop-house that serves globally inspired food. When you ask Bryan what sets 94 West apart from other restaurants, he will always give you the same answer — great food.  To understand why 94 West Restaurant is a cut above the rest you have to understand a little family history.

Bryan’s parents; Johnny and Mary proudly opened the doors to the Candlelight Lodge on 55th & Spaulding in June of 1958. It did not take long for this place to become known in Chicago as a place for fabulous food, big drinks, “Green Noodles,” and a great time.

Through the years, all their children were involved in the operation. Wayne, Alan, Susan, and Bryan.

In 1999, Mary became a widow and the family all agreed that it would be best if they closed the restaurant’s doors. Mary passed away in 2001.

On a whim, Bryan wanted to bring back the “Legend of the Candlelight” and the “Green Noodles” to Orland Park.

Now that you understand where the passion for Great Food comes from, take a look at our “Surf and Turf” pictures.
