Reviews for Lou's Drive-In in Peoria, IL
Food was great! Burgers are awesome, loved the Chilli cheese dogs. The Chilli is some of the best in my opinion. Root beer is... phenomenal, super creamy and delicious! Only complaint it was a little high priced. Paid $80 for only 4 of us to eat, but iguess you pay for quality and for that I won't complain, everything we ate was top notch! Read more
Have visited 2 times this year and both visits were bad. The root beer had a mildew taste. The hot dogs were flavorless (even a... 5 year old wouldn?t eat it) and tasted reheated. The cheeseburger bun was dried out and the burger was WAY over done. Lou wouldbe ashamed. We gave them 2 tries, and hate to give up a long time treat, but we won?t go back. Read more
Root beer was syrupy with very little fizz. Corn dog and fries (mom says they taste like steak and shake fries used to) were... good! Hot tamales were good but a little on the small side. The servers were nice and it was very pleasant sitting at thecounter. Read more
Excellent old school fast food stand. The service and food were excellent. Had a burger and fries and it was made to order.... Friend had the hot dogs. You don't have to get chili dogs. They can do a more Chicago style if you want. The fries were hot,crisp and fresh Read more
Great nostalgic experience of the old time drive-in restaurants of the past. Great selection of food and don't miss out on the... root beer in the cold big mugs, a true treat! The staff is always nice and the location is right off Knoxville with easy in andout access and plenty of parking. A great time for the whole family! Read more
Was driving by and saw Lou?s Drive - In and had to stop and have lunch. This place is right out of the James Dean / Happy Days... era. The people behind the counter were kind and helpful and the food came fast. That?s good news and good enough for you togive it a try. However if your looking for a Chicago Style hot dog basket you?re going to be sadly disappointed. From thehotdog to the fixings you?re not gonna find a Chicago hot dog here. The Fries were kind of a bummer too. No flavor & luke Warm. But I don?t want to end on a negative note? next time I?m in Peoria and I?m in this area of town I?m stopping back in becausethe place is pretty cool and it was really busy so I?m sure I?ll find something I?ll enjoy next time.

Have loved Lou?s since high school. Appreciate the current owners keeping up the tradition. Enjoyed the hot dog special tonight... which came with delicious root beer and a double rainbow! Read more
Great little local place. Try the chili cheese dogs, or the tenderloins.
