Our menu

reads like a treasure map

The first Ditka’s was a classic steak house that opened in 1997 in the heart of Chicago’s Magnificent Mile. We named it “Ditka’s” in honor of our partner, Mike Ditka: College and Professional Hall-of-Fame football player, and Chicago Bears iconic head coach. The original Ditka’s in downtown Chicago showcased traditional American cuisine at its finest and hospitality at its best. We wanted to be Chicago’s favorite place to eat, and by many accounts we were. As the Ditka Restaurant Group has grown into the Chicago suburbs, and now to Charlotte, we have retained our focus on being your favorite place to eat.
