Basic looking but it works and the stuff comes out. With the prices not that bad it's cool it's combined with high quality. Crowds gather when it gets warmer such as the afternoon we came. It's also across the street from Hegeler Park. That's where youth leagues play baseball and other sports. As one can imagine it gets quite a lot of kids. They have plenty for them and plenty for adults as well. A few non dairy choices. It's about $3 for a cup of Dole Whip. A healthier alternative. There's a few rotating flavors including strawberry. Plenty of sugary things of course. They have the classics like banana splits and parfaits. Great place to go when it gets hot. It's located at the intersection of St. Vincent and Lindberg. They're one of those ice cream places that closes for winter.

I have only ever wrote one review in my life before, but this deserves one. If I could give it…read morenegative stars I would... to be known for award-winning pork tenderloins is extremely misleading and disappointing, It is by far the worst experience and lunch I had ever paid for. The pork tenderloins were extremely thin and dry and completely flavorless. I truly am not much of a complainer and I could tell our waitress was a younger sweet a little more shy girl. I honestly didn't want to trouble her so I didn't say anything until I was checking out and I was asked how everything was for the first time I told her I wasn't really happy with it, that it honestly was disappointing and that it was our first time here, but I left it at that I left and decided to call instead of everybody else over hearing me so I thought I was doing them a favor... but I was mistaken I guess because I called to speak with a manager/owner. They had the owner call me back. He did not care at all... A man by the name of Mike, who straight up told me that they do not season any of their food and that is the traditional Illinois valley food that there's not much flavor pallet to it And that next time we could ask for some seasoning if we decide to come back. The burgers were dry and had absolutely no seasoning but my baby and kid ate it so I wasn't going to ask for a refund for food that was eaten, and for being pork even with no seasoning it was the driest flavorless food I have ever paid for honestly... I can't even begin to explain my disappointment. We paid $5 for a few raviolis in a plain broth $5 for a cup.. the rest of the food is priced ok. The chili was horrible all beans and very bland. From all the rave about it online and seeing reviews that their award-winning and to be excited to try it and that's what we ate, BY FAR THE MOST DISAPPOINTING WASTE OF MONEY. I was so excited to go to a Sunday lunch with my family after we seen the TikTok come across our feed of the best diner in Illinois. I promise you if you go there with high expectations you're going to be extremely extremely let down. I'd would never ever tell anyone they should try this place and I would warn anybody before going there that their food is so bland and disappointing.

He's not really that technologically advanced which is surprising because he was an electrical engineer at one point in his life. Anyway, he kept trying to find pizza places along our route and every time he found one that was either in the opposite direction from where we were going, was closed, or wasn't making deep dish. I finally pulled over and we found Lou's. We placed our order over the phone, and made our way towards the restaurant. It's not much to look at from the outside, sort of run down or outdated. Inside it's better, but still remnants from another time remain. My dad picked up the pie and we took it to the car because it was wicked hot and we were traveling with my dog. The pizza didn't look that impressive from the start, but that was before I inspected it intently. I picked up a slice and it was the most massive cheese pull I've ever experienced in my entire life. I have never seen that much cheese on a food item ever. It was by far the most massive cheese dose I've ever seen, and nothing has come even close. The taste was good, but I prefer a ratio of more sauce to cheese. The crust was tender, the sauce was hot, and the cheese was chewy, but none of it was anything too out of the ordinary. The extraordinary part about it was definitely the sheer volume of cheese on that deep dish piece of magnificence. I would likely return if I were in the area, just to re-experience the cheese-tastic inundation of their pie. Price is good, service is fast, selection is decent and people are fairly friendly. Bathrooms and restaurant are dated but relatively clean, and the food is good but nothing gourmet. Not standard by any means, but come for the deep dish cheese pie and prepare yourself for a cheese landslide!
