Tallgrass Restaurant

Iconic/NotableHistoric Downtown Lockport · French Community-sourced, unverified
📍 1006 S State St, Lockport, IL 60441

Tallgrass occupies a genuinely restored 100-year-old red-stone Victorian in Lockport's historic district, which gives the contemporary French menu from Chef Theron Walker a setting most suburban fine-dining spots can't fake.

$$$$
A contemporary French fine-dining restaurant inside a restored 100-year-old Victorian building in historic downtown Lockport, featured on WTTW's Check Please.

It's drawn real regional attention, including its own feature on WTTW's Check Please, Chicago public television's long-running dining-review show — a notable credential for a restaurant well outside the city proper. Worth noting: ratings on this one aren't uniformly glowing across every platform, so it's fair to go in expecting a genuinely upscale, $50-and-over price point and a specific tasting experience rather than assuming universal acclaim.

For a special-occasion dinner in a setting with real architectural history, it's a distinctive option the southwest suburbs don't otherwise offer.
