Really good. Don't even think about it just go try the food. I got the godfather and it's the bomb.COM I'm from Chicago I'd definitely drive an hour just to eat here. Definitely a hidden gem. read more

Disappointed. Not like the former SRO sandwiches like in the picture. No large slices of onions, peppers and mushrooms. No abundance of cheese. Very hard to find anything but beef. It was a tasty beef sandwich but not as pictured. Onion rings were yummy. https://app.upserve.com/s/sro-standing-room-only-kenosha read more

Big Lou's Standing Room Only - Not what we got. - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Kenosha, Wisconsin

Love this terrific place Female owned. Friendly af. Yummy food. Dog loving. I love it so much I'm willing to try to eat cheese curds when I haven't been able to eat for a month due to tongue issues. Didn't want to miss getting the garlicky cheese curds before they run out for the season. What Choo waiting for...run and go get you dine of whatever is left for the season before it's some late! Chicken cheesesteaks are already out. Muah! read more

Simply the best to-go bombers and sides in town. Ive passed this place 1,000 times and it was finally open when I was hungry and stopped in. I laughed about beer-battered fries but these are uniquely good and NOT "tons of fried dough with potato". Speaking of which, their corn dogs are great. CORN DOGS - are great, ok? I almost wish they'd expand but they somehow nailed everyday items here so why ruin perfection? Add to it a beautiful patio and Big Lou's is a true small-town gem. read more

Yum! Cheesestakes. Check! Fresh roll for said cheesesteak. Check!! Sirloin to be used for cheesesteak. Check!!! DELICIOUS options such as the scrumptious Hawaiian that I picked. CHECK!!! Crunchy hot fries. Oui! Lovely outside patio and a clean restroom. C'est très vrai. I moved just down the street from here and decided to check it out since it was down the street from my doctor's office and I was STARVING! Boy am I glad. I will be using this frequent customer card often! Oh..and they serve full strength PEPSI products for this girl that has it running in her veins. Lol read more

Big Lou's Standing Room Only - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Kenosha, Wisconsin

Best Philly Cheesesteak I've ever had. Amazing flavor and unparalleled taste is consistently coming out of that kitchen! I'd put the Standing Room Only Cheesesteak up against sandwich place including the ones in Philadelphia. read more

Great food. Reasonable prices. Couple indoor tables. Lots of outside tables. It's a must stop for a lake visit. read more

Big Lou's Standing Room Only - Great food. Decent prices. Couple tables inside lots of outdoor tables. Worth the stop on your way to the lake. - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Kenosha, Wisconsin

So glad they are open again! Best Cheesesteak around hands down! Called ahead on a Saturday afternoon, got through right away to place my order in advance (COVID rules), friendly conversation, described my car and paid. Food was brought out within 2 minutes of arrival! read more

Philly Cheese Steak was one of the best I have ever had. Not sure if i would want to ruin it with bbq sauce or pizza sauce but I have never had one that way so I can't be the judge of that. Burger looked like it arrived pre-packed but that could be how they pack their burger. Amazing seasoning on it though. Fries were delicious. Not sure which ones we had. Luckily they were out of the krinkle cut fries which are probably the least exciting ones of the THREE kinds they offer, which I accidently ordered. 5 stars for it being such an amazing day and being able to sit outside and then walk our food off for a little bit around the quaint lake side neighborhood in which it is located. Not sure how I would have felt about having to eat inside and I couldn't have waited the 5+ minutes it would have taken to get back to my house. read more

I'm always in this place it's that's damn good. The Philly Beefs are fantastical! They serve them on soft rolls, smother them with peppers and onions and don't skimp on anything. The chicken sandwiches are excellent as well as the burgers, hot dogs, Italian sausage bombers, etc. They have a ton of appetizers including fried cheddar curds and great fries of different varieties, my favorite are the Brew City Fries (steak cut and seasoned). They give you giant proportions of the appetizers so keep that in mind when ordering. Finally the people that run this place are ultra-nice and knew my name after only going there a couple times. Now I'm basically a regular there. To be honest, grab it to go or sit outside its kinda hot and cramped inside; thus the name of the place. UPDATE 9/16/09: Not sure what's going on, but this place has been closed basically all summer. First because of the construction on 75th and now who knows. They actually had a weird "toy sale" going on Labor Day weekend. It would really be a tragedy to eating in Kenosha if this place is closed for good. read more

If you love Philly Cheese Steaks, you MUST go here. It's all we order, ever. Always hot, fresh and more then enough to fill the average person up. The owners even know my order before I even place it, regular philly with everything and add bacon. And the fries mentioned before are the beer battered. Get them with cheese sauce. We've also had other items off the menu, poppers, onion rings and chicago style hotdogs, all good as well. Be sure to stop in and check them out. They also now have a "north side" SRO, right next to Ron's Place. read more

The food here was good, but didn't seem like enough food for the price. It was $23 for two cheesesteaks; one for me and one for my wife. I wasn't told how much they cost, but can only assume they were the larger size. I ate my whole Big Lou sandwich, which was good, but I was still hungry. My wife had the Zorba the Greek. She ate about 2/3 of it and had me finish hers because there was too much beef in her opinion. Both sandwiches were good. If I needed a cheesesteak fix in the future, I would consider coming back, but I feel like there are other options out there for more food/$. read more

I am a fan once again! I think the new management has really pumped some life back into the small old place. Nothing against the old owners, (Joni and Hector?) but the food quality dropped off before they closed. I figured it was because they had opened a 2nd location and got stretched too thin. Fast forward to this week and I have to say things are better than ever... I know the Philly Cheesesteak is the big draw but I went for something different... A chicago style hot dog. I have to say, it was perfect. Perhaps not in the Hot Doug's range but quite good. The relish was even the correct color. So... If you stopped going.. Give it another shot. If it is is your first time, it is worth it. read more

Best cheesesteaks in town...pretty much only cheesesteaks in town lol. Their burgers are good and the beer battered fries are super awesome! Call ahead if you dont want to wait! read more

Wow, what a cute little place. Outside the door, on the floor, says it all (check out picture). They have great burgers ($4) that come on their fresh, daily delivered buns. Their beer battered Philly Fries are also out of this world ($1.99). Just be sure you don't mind standing or sitting outside on their patio! It can get busy so stand in while you can. read more

Another great family run/owned business. My mom loves the Philly cheese steak. I usually have a chili dog or a black angus burger and the brew city fries with a Sprecher root beer. yummmmmm They have a large menu of American food. Great prices too. You should go here. read more

Best food in town, huge portions and great service. Big Lou's Cheesesteak is our favorite!

Big Lou's Standing Room Only, hands down the best philly place in the Midwest. I've tried numerous amounts of phillys, but I've never had one as tasty and as well priced as SRO. The workers were inviting and polite, as well as the environment of the well suited name of the business. The restaurant building was small as to be expected, but there was plenty of outdoor seating located next to Lake Michigan. If I had to choose my favorite philly, it would have to be the aloha. The sauce was delicious and I can't find a recipe to match the quality! 100% would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxed environment with fast and scrumptious food. read more

Best place to grab a cheesesteak and fried pickles. When it's warm out there is plenty of room to sit outside and eat. Any other time I would recommend calling your order in and taking it back home. The place only has about 3 tables in the building. read more

My gyro craving looks no further. Good deals on Tuesday. Plan to pickup and go; they are not kidding about Standing Room Only lol

Hands down some of the best Philly cheesesteaks I have EVER had!!! We look forward to them opening up every Spring! Our go to is the Big Lou which is cheesy spicy and oh so flavorful! I highly recommend!! Oh and their fries are incredible! read more

The best philly cheese sandwiches here! Never had a bad meal here. Haven't been since they renovated. Wasn't much seating inside (hence the name?), maybe they have expanded. read more

SRO is reopened under new ownership/management, and is just as good as it was before. I was beginning to wonder if they were ever going to make it through their remodelling, but they opened in November and I have been there twice since, and it is sgreat. read more

I was here years ago and even though the place is tiny,,Damn is the food good and fast! You will always see folks sitting outside eating on a nice day..testament to how great the food is! SOmetimes smaller is better!! read more

I love this place! Literally standing room only, but I usually just pick food up to go. Philly chicken sandwich is fantastic and you have to get the cheese fries! I'm sure all the other food is delicious as well but it's too hard to stray from my favorites so I'll probably never try anything else. The last time I was there, a male worker was creepily checking me out the whole time, but you know what I say to that? WORTH IT! read more

This place has THE BEST cheesesteaks...corn dogs...French fries...pretty much everything. The only downside? They close for the winter season, in September. Maybe stay open through October?! I drive 45 minutes to visit you guys :) read more

Became sick immediately after eating one of the cheese steaks. It was bad and lasted 3 days. Can't prove their food was the cause, but I'm pretty sure it was. I don't even consider it when thinking of places to go eat. That's a shame too, cause it's right down the street. read more

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT HERE!!! I come to Big Lou's ALL the time!! My family loves it too! We love eating outside and enjoy the nice summer weather! Whenever my friends come to the Kenosha area I always recommend Big Lou's! read more

Great deep friend pickles, good food no where to sit

Love this place. You can not get a better Philly Cheese Steak anywhere in Kenosha! I've tried, and always just wish I would have gone here. Friendly, family friendly, and a nice south side location. (We don't have much around here : / Can't recommend it enough. Everything is good. read more

Tex Mex Philly may not be on the menu but it's been my favorite sandwich for over a decade.

Wanted to try this place but called and recording said they close in January until March. Gave it a 5 star because would not be fair for lower score since I have not tried the food. Everyone who I asked about this place loves it. read more

Best phillys in town especially the Billy's Philly with pepperjack cheese.Tons of great sides to choose from too. The place is really only made for takeout though and they do close kind of early. read more

I kept hearing from an old roommate how much he loved this place, and he ate there often. I finally got over there to check it out and was not nearly impressed. Perhaps this place had been built up too much in my mind after hearing others talk about how great it was, so that might be impacting perception. First time in I had to do a burger and fries. The burger was ok but not worth what it ended up costing me so I knew I could live without going back for that. However, the fries were very good and a later visit I decided I like their hot dogs. So if any the area I might stop and pick a dog and fries, but no desire to go out of my way to eat there and I have other places I would rather go for a great burger, which is supposed to the hot item here. read more
