The story

Hugo's Frog Bar & Fish House in Chicago: Seafood and Steaks on Rush Street

Hugo's Frog Bar & Fish House, at 1024 N. Rush St. in Chicago, is an American seafood house that earned a Michelin Recommended listing in 2026. The kitchen builds its menu around oysters, crudos and frog legs, with Gibsons Prime Angus steaks on the same card.

Seafood delivered daily

The restaurant receives its seafood every day. East and West Coast oysters, fresh crudos, frog legs and lobster all come through the same delivery schedule. Seasonal fish rounds out the list, so the menu shifts with what arrives at the door.

Steaks and chops from Gibsons

Gibsons Prime Angus is corn-fed for up to 120 days and aged at least 40 days. The beef comes from Upper Midwest producers chosen for tenderness and consistency. Australian grass-fed ribeye offers a second beef option, so a table of mixed preferences can order from one kitchen.

Wine and dessert

The wine list earned a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence (2024), and it is one of the restaurant's most-discussed features. Classic cocktails and signature desserts complete the meal. Guests who linger over the wine list will find the seafood and steak courses pair with a wide range of bottles.
