Great food, fantastic atmosphere. They have some of the best Italian beef since I’ve been in Chicago. Cheese fries are great and so are the sausage.

I had been looking for some place local that has a great Chicago dog. I happened to spot this place one day driving and not listening to my GPS. I told my wife and kids about it and we made it a point to stop in and see Lonnie. We were not disappointed. I am all about supporting small businesses, and Lonnie will be getting more of my business. If you love Chicago and supporting small businesses, stop in and check out one of Louisville’s best kept secrets.

Phenomenal nostalgic Chicago experience. Hot dog fully dressed and a chili cheese dog, too. Amazing food, mighty tasty. Freshly prepared with authentic Chicago condiments. Wonderful owners, friendly and welcoming. I have an entire menu to conquer and one by one I will. You’ll love it! Just go.

I’m from Chicago and visiting my brother in Bardstown. I had the Italian beef the first time I came to visit. It was great both times. Hardly any good beef places near me in Chicago Found one that’s ok. Wising Lonnie and Diane continued success will come again when visiting my brother Rich

Usually if I don’t like a restaurant I just don’t post, but this place was beyond HORRIBLE. I give it a ZERO. Our order was wrong. The dog was cold. The chili and cheese was cold and it was supposed to have onions on it. The Pizza Puff was soaked and greasy and the burger was certainly over cooked. You get NO REFILLS on beverages and she didn’t fill the cup up all the way and it was syrupy. Sooo disappointed!

A favorite for many, many years. Still making the best dogs and seasoned beef anywhere. The Rush Street Chili dog is as nearly perfect as you will find. Steamed poppyseed buns barely holding in the chili, cheese, and onions, it’s one I think you’ll remember and tell your friends about. Parking can seem a problem, but there’s room in back and just across the street. Wait times can be challenging at peak hours, but plan for it – it’s worth it.

My new favorite restaurant in Louisville! I grew up in the Chicagoland area and Lonnie’s is the real deal. I had the Chicago Dog (I forget what they call it) and the 6″ Italian Beef. Both were fantastic! They are changing their hours to stay open a little later during the week.
