Great Chicago style hot dogs I hit this place a few times a year always good. I started coming 10 years ago read more

You can't even believe how incredible Little Louie's Food Truck is! The gods is so delicious and the staff is amazing! The best experience ever! I can't rave enough!!! read more

I've been back many times since my last review and I must re-evaluate Little Louies. I have come to the conclusion they are a top notch Chicago-Style Hot Dog shop!! The dogs are perfect and the buns are very fresh! All the goodies from the garden are fresh and perfectly assembled above the noble dog! If you want a classic Chicago-Style Hot Dog, dragged through the garden, this is the place to go to! read more

Little Louie's has been a favorite of our school's for a long time. We love coming here to get our lunch. The burgers and hot dogs are absolutely amazing as well as their other items on the menu. The service is amazing. Very good place to bring friends together. read more

I'm from Indy and am here for work. This place was recommended to me and has great ratings on Google, plus it's within walking distance of where I'm working so why not? Walk over, order a cheeseburger, fries, cheese sauce and a drink. $20. Whatever. The Green River drink was great. Thoroughly enjoyed that. Get back to the office and get my food out. Burger looks OK. Kinda sloppy but it's OK. Huge sack of fries. Cheese cup. Pop the lid off the cheese and take a finger try. Wtf is this? It's grainy, it has the look and texture of hummus. Put the lid back on and tossed it back in the bag. They must have given me a cup of cheese sauce that fell behind the counter 5 years ago or something by mistake. Ask my coworkers who are from here and they all come to life about how "this is Merkts cheese and that's how it's supposed to be, it's the best thing ever" and how they "could just eat it with a spoon, blah blah". It's not cheese sauce. It's terrible. It belongs in the trash. The fries were also cooked in old oil way too long. It was all 1 inch bits fried crunchy until the potato inside evaporated. Three stars for the mediocre burger and green river. Don't trust skinny people and coworkers opinions on food. read more

An institution. Pete, the owner, is wonderful, the menu is enormous, and Little Louies has the best fries on the planet!

I was provided lunch as part of our sponsor package at a recent charity event. The Little Louie's food truck offered different wraps, burgers, hotdogs, fries, etc. I had a very tasty chicken avocado wrap, and fries with cheese (Merck's!). My food was prepared fresh, hot and was very good. The delicious Merck's cheese sauce definitely makes everything so good! read more

Little Louies - Burgers Near Me - Northbrook, Illinois

I love a good Chicago style hotdog but I was a bit disappointed. The style of hotdog is more in line with Jim's original, so slightly less snap. It was expensive too. Was initially thinking of trying their burger but everything here is pricey. Fries were decent and crispy. Will not come back because I think there are other places nearby that do it better. Staff seemed friendly. read more

Best fast food place in the area. There is parking in back and a back door now, after the remodel, which was a long time ago. Same atmosphere I remember as a kid, but more space. Great food. Fast service. I forgot to take a picture because I was so hungry and the fries are still great. Save Ferris! read more

Great place right here. I always enjoy coming here because the food is great and made fresh to order. Always get good service from the staff but the parking is difficult. read more

Northbrook institution with good reason. Very dependable each and every time, from the very longstanding employees who are ever so friendly to the quality of the food. I love how community minded they are from the many photos, articles, and memorabilia covering the walls to their participation in community events and celebrations. They have changed over the years from increasing menu options, far too many, overwhelming, though it does mean more vegetarian options than your traditional hot dog stand, to now only seating on one side of the restaurant (?). Obviously their prices have gone up too, pricey but not crazy. Years ago their fries were different and delicious, several years ago they changed it up and while they are still good they're not like I remember them. I love that they have pretzel buns, yum! read more

Little Louies - Burgers Near Me - Northbrook, Illinois

I used to frequent Louie's a lot when my kids were younger when we'd be at park across the street. I remember liking it very much, but just picked up a to go order and it's definitely not the same. Gyros meat tasted like the fake strips you buy at grocery store, char dog was burnt and served on a stale bun. Fries were fine but the cheese sauce came in a thimble size cup. Two stars because the staff was very nice and friendly. Food, not so much. read more

Lived in Northbrook my whole life and went to Little Louie's as a kid. It's not the same after it changed ownership. The food is a bit overpriced in my opinion. read more

Knew of Little Louie's but have never been there before until recently. They have a large menu that includes Mexican food and a guy working the register with an attitude, impatient, even when it was off peak that I was there and no one was in line. Ordered a salad for my boss and a steak burrito for myself. No drink, no fries, nothing else and it was over $30. If both meal were amazing, ok, prices are up everywhere. Both were underwhelming. The burrito should have been enough to fill me up. It was falling apart since there was so little steak or veggies inside it. Cheaper and much better at Chipotle! It's probably just a place for hot dog or a burger with fries. Wish I had stuck to the basics. read more

You get what you ask for very well and friendly. Jose always remembers me, his wife too and remembers my father in law who passed. read more

Little Louie's is the quintessential hotdog joint with loads of other tasty offerings on the expansive menu. What can anyone add except to state the food, service, and friendliness are the best! Don't let the smallish restaurant deter you; there is an attached additional large dining room. When one knows there is so much more than hotdogs to Littke Louie's, the meal and snack choices are more than plentiful. There is something for everyone. There is street parking in front and a lot behind. read more

Hot dogs are disappointing. I asked for onions and relish and the amount they put on the hotdog was less around 1/4 of a teaspoon.. The french fries were overcooked and soggy. 2 hot dogs, 1 order of fries and 2 drinks cost over $35. The guy at the counter acted like he was doing us a favor taking our order. read more

Little Louie's is our home away from home! The most delicious food and best catering in town. We come her for dinner multiple times a week, the kids menu is affordable and my kids actually eat it. We recently celebrated my son's 3rd birthday here. The staff went above and beyond to make his day special. The ambiance is happy, upbeat, and comfortable. Pete, Jose, Maria, Marcos, Carolina, Tomas, and Carmen are the dream team. Don't sleep on the chicken avocado wrap or their tacos. read more

Neighborhood staple... I think every kid that grows up in Northbrook comes back to Northbrook as adults to have their favorite meals there. They have a huge menu and great food. read more

First time customer. Jumbo char dog had no flavor. Bun was slightly chilled and tomatoes were ice cold (not appetizing on a hot dog). Fries were good. Cheap food at a premium price. read more

Every neighborhood hot dog joint is essential and part of the fabric of the hood. The pics, the history, and generations of families that come by. Sure the place is a bit dated, but its a hot dog place!! Hot dogs are good fries are crispy and always salted right service was quick make it part of your local choice and support small business read more

Awesome restaurant. Me and my friends bike there all the time for multiple reasons. First it's just really good food but the burger is terrible to go so just eat there when you want the burger. Second of all the guys are so nice that work there and the store is nestled in the heart of Northbrook across from village green. The stores ambience is really nice too. It gives you the classic hamburger place that's quick vibes perfectly. It shows the little Louise community on the walls and all these reasons are just some of the reasons why I go to this awesome restaurant. read more

Ive been eating at Little Louie's since I was 9 and at 37, im driving the kids there, even though we dont live in town. We check out all the photos on the wall and look for people we know. The staples like the hot dogs, burgers, and cheese fries (merkts!) have always been great. It was not until recently that I dove into their extended menu, and dannnnnnng. i recommend the dizz. and i would eat the tortilla soup every day if i could. so happy that all the same guys still work there too, and im always happily surprised when they remember me! thanks guys!! read more

it's a great reliable hot dog joint. Lots of non-hot dog selection as well and food is served quickly. If you're in the mood for some quick fast food, this hits the spot. read more

Catered for a party of 20 people and the food was AMAZING!!!! Pete noticed I was ordering way too much food for 20 people and helped me narrow it down so I'm not stuck with leftovers...any other place probably wouldn't say anything but Pete did and it really shows how much he cares for the people rather than the money. By far the best experience when it came to catering for a company party!! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Staff is super friendly on the phone and in person. They get to know everyone who walks in the doors. The environment is very diner/mom and pop feels. A lot of seating area and pictures/memorabilia on the walls. I went here off of recommendations from co workers and proximity. I don't eat hotdogs and burgers anymore so I went for the Cactus salad. Amazing! they give you a decent portion of salad mix and toppings. The container may make you feel like it's a smaller portion but it really is not. I'm sticking to the Cactus Salad when lunch time comes and if I'm in the area. read more

Yuck! I ordered some sides from here - pizza puffs and fries. Simple enough order. Yet it was the most disgusting pizza puffs I've ever eaten. What they gave out was a slimy, oily pizza puff, with yucky gelatinous cheese on the inside. I couldn't even finish one! Read the other reviews. This place really is that bad. read more

Iconic hot dog place in Northbrook. This place has been in business for decades and has a long history of memories. The food is average and there really isn't anything that makes it better that other similar places except the history. There are pictures and newspaper article covering the walls showing things from the 80's to present day - along with celebrity pics and endorsements that are interesting to peruse while eating. Don't get me wrong - there is nothing wrong with the food, or the service here - It's just that places like these are a dime-a-dozen. If you are nearby, or if you have a personal connection to this place, come on in and give them a try. Otherwise, it's not really worth a trip out of the way. Sorry Little Louies fanatics... read more

I can't speak on anything other than two menu items, but I was very satisfied and disagree with the bad reviews. I went with the chicken, bacon avocado speciality wrap the first time and an Italian beef with the spicy mayo the second time. They made them both quick and they were fantastic. I'm talking a go to if I was in Northbrook more than a few times a month. I'd like to try all the speciality sandwiches like the Scheyer and such. Restaurant is cool and old school vibe. read more

We used to order from here multiple times a month because my son's favorite hot dog is Little Louies' and he would constantly ask for one. The past few times we have ordered from here, my son commented that the hot dog tasted funny. The first time he had when he was just getting over being sick, so I didn't think much of it. The second time we were with my brother, who also said that his hot dog was flavorless and gray. Now my son refuses to eat from here again, which is unfortunate because I rather enjoy their veggie burger (although way overpriced) and fries. read more

A neighborhood gem! The wraps are actually ones you want to eat. I've tried nearly everything and it's all great. The staff is also very nice - love this place! read more

You should go to Little Louie's because their food is really good. The service there from the employees is always excellent. Also the ambiance is really nice. All of the people are extremely nice there. If you are Northbrook and you are looking for a delicious place to eat than Little Louie's is the place for you. read more

After passing by it numerous times I finally decided to try it. Seemed overpriced. Fries were over cooked. The cup of cheese was too thick couldn't dip the fries and the sauce on my gyro was kinda watery. Gyro and cheese fries shouldn't be $19. Will definitely not be returning there read more

Little Louie's has been my go to since Kindergarten! The menu has great variety, something for everyone! I recently introduced my husband to Little Louie's and now he always wants to go. Pete and the crew are the best, they know my order as soon as I walk in. The atmosphere can't be beat! I highly recommend the chicken avocado wrap and the fries are the best around! read more

They catered my job today. The chicken wrap was delicous. I will definately be trying them in person. C U soon.

Nasty "parts is parts" chicken fingers. Stick with hot dogs here. Fries were undercooked and not as good as I remember.

For your run of the mill hot dog joint, this place has a pretty vast menu. Everything from your basic cheeseburger/fries to tacos and wraps. But the place is just so outdated. I can imagine this was the place to hang out back in the 90's. Lots of memorabilia from years past all over the walls. But in this day and age, people want clean, bright, and did I mention...clean. The walls, the floors, the chairs are all sticky. The dine-in area has black plastic table cloths and black chairs all over the place and some of the black residue would even rub off on our hands. The old wood on the walls. Little Louie's just needs is an update. Food is good. read more

Recently went to this restaurant and was very disappointed! Hot dog had no flavor and it felt like I was eating rubber! Fries were pretty expensive for what you get...I was charged for a "bag of fries" but that certainly was not the amount that I was given!!! read more
