Italian beef is homeade and delicious! Garlic knots are scrumptious as well. Definitely won’t be disappointed when you make the decision to come here. Customer service is top notch as well! Super friendly and fast.

For some, it might be "yeah whatever, just another hot dog stand servin' up Vienna beef dogs, burgers, chicken sammiches, etc etc" but this place for me is better than most and I've been to quite a few in the Chicago area. I actually got my dad hooked on this place being he was born & raised in Eastern PA and is quite picky on cheesesteaks. Says this place has one of the best he's had outside of PA. I really like the food here and over the years I've had their dogs, burgers, pizza, gyros, cheesesteaks and meatball sandwiches all of which are tasty. Tony's Luke's is quite the gold mine and is especially busy during the middle of the week at lunch with plenty of carry-out and dine-ins from the nearby car dealerships, doctors offices, Abbott/Abbvie and so on. Exceptional customer service, great food at reasonable prices in an always clean venue. Keep cookin' up that yummy grub and I'll keep coming back!

Casual and delicious. Staff was great and moved fast, we came in when it was super busy and they were just rolling through orders. Food is phenomenal, such great flavor, a nice mix of light and hearty on the menu. Absolutely would come here again.

A great place with a winning menu. Family friendly and super tasty food with large portions. I recommend that you try the specials that include fries and drink. We had the 2 hot dogs and the Italian beef. Somehow it was too much good food. But yet we took a homemade meatball and a skirt steak sandwich to go. This is one of those rare finds that is tasty, bountiful, quick and family friendly. Also very clean and attentive staff. You can hear them all working on your orders as they are being called out. I will definitely be back whenever I am in this part of North Chicago.

Great dogs and fries. Served hot and fresh. Even at the busy lunchtime hour it was about a 5 minute wait for the food after we ordered it.

We were there celebrating my neice and nephews graduating from the Navy Academy. We're from Houston, Texas, and were looking for some good Chicago-style pizza and hot dogs. Luke's did not disappoint. We were greeted by Amy (I think that's her name) she went way beyond the call of duty with us. We had a large group, she a the owner were very patient and professional. Customer service is at an all-time low, but they stepped up and changed my perspective on great service and good food. Thanks for making our time in Chi-Town a good memory.

Ordered Lunch for six adults. The food is excellent. The service is kind and close. The store feeling is warm, welcoming, and fun. The service person was very careful to double-check an order that contained two main entries. It was an excellent experience for a fast food restaurant. We come to visit again.
