We love Luke's. It's close to the house, but if it's late or we don't feel like going out, we get delivery. They're super fast, too. Their burgers are flame broiled. Pizza puff is always a must. And they have a steak sandwich that's just shy of ricobene's, so it meets the craving if you can't get down to Bridgeport. read more

Beware of delivery. Check your food order because these imbiciles will almost screw things up.

My girlfriend loves the pizza, so I give it five stars nice and clean the garlic munchies are delicious

Quick solid eats food was fresh and was out in less then 5 mins and was perfect was pressed for time

The food is okay overall but the service over the phone lacks upon ordering. They have gotten my order wrong 2x already and they're better fast food places in the area to order from. Plus side is that they deliver until 1am and for no minimum purchase. read more

Luke's on Harlem - Hot Dogs Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Just when I thought I had it all here, I just had their homemade chocolate eclair cake. WOOOOOW. holy moly guacamole the goodness......

All the food is good. Is FAST FOOD! It's better then Wendy's, BK & McDonald's. It's made to order, so it's not sitting in a pan or food warmer. Fresh food is what I'm going to pay for. I've been going here for over 15 yrs. This is my go to spot. Wish they could change their hours back to normal. Still a good spot for a nice grub read more

I was about to order from here again when I read the reviews involving the service dog. I won't be ordering again. Like one person said, what might they be doing to the food of those they discriminate against in private? I have previously had the polish sausage, which was good. The Italian beef was good a couple times but too dry other times. The mozzarella sticks were tasty. The worst things were the breaded steak sandwich and pizza puff. read more

What can you expect of a fast food diner place. If you are going here you can't expect the finest dinning. I ordered a burger, fries and pizza puff. They were delicious and reminded me of how I grew up eating this. Fries were a little to thin for my liking but that is just a preference thing. I go here occasionally. read more

They have good pizza if you are looking for a last-minute (end of the night!) pizza option. Over the last couple of years, I have continuously ordered from Luke's. Specifically, I usually order a large thin crust pizza with green peppers and onions. However, the last couple of times I ordered their pizza it was extremely soggy and uncooked in the middle. When I expressed my concern to the owner, he was mad and aggravated. I ignored these mistakes for a couple of times, however 2 days ago I tried the pizza once again and it was almost completely raw! This was a red flag for me because I told the owner my concerns and nothing changed, and eating raw pizza is not healthy for the body at all! I am sad to lower my review on here, but I feel its time I end my relationship with Luke's! read more

Best Italian ice in Chicago! I'm from Memphis, and I've tried many types of Italian ice in Memphis and Chicago but nothing compares to Italian ice here at Luke's. It is by far the best! The grilled chicken salad is good but nothing special and the Italian beef sandwiches are good but we've had better. I just come here for the Italian ice! read more

So there were all these cars thumping their music and I couldn't hear the person on the speaker trying to take my order. I very politely asked the young girl if they were going to do anything about these cars that are blocking my way out of the parking lot given that I have a bunch of kids in my car. They said "they're not bothering anybody." I said I'm taking my business elsewhere and I will do so from now on. On the way out I noticed one of the employees was out there. We could smell the weed with my windows down. This place has gone down hill for year but I thought we would give it another try. No way. We left. Good luck. I'm going to Bob-O's. read more

Been coming here since I was a kid and I'm so disappointed to see how disrespectful and uncaring this place has gotten. Last time I went, I came through the drive thru after work around 10pm and ordered a #1, both hotdogs plain. When I received my food, both hotdogs had everything on it, which I did not care to be mad because mistakes happen. I went inside and told them the mistake, they then remade both hotdogs. When I came back into my car, I took a bit Of my first hotdog, AND IT WAS COLD. It literally was as if it's been sitting there since the morning. I had to go in there a second time. I must of been at Luke's exchanging hotdogs for about 45 min, because they were so slow and uncaring about their customers. After this terrible experience, I decided to give this place another try (about 3 weeks after the first incident). I came through the drive through, just like last time but around 12, and this time was with my boyfriend. I ordered a #7, and when I told them I wanted a slice of cheese, they lady though the teller told me they didn't have any more cheese pizza, but were making some and would be ready in 20 min. After this I was debating with my boyfriend if I should wait or get something else, but decided to wait. I asked the lady though the teller "you said it's 20 min?", just to verify the time cause she said they were making another one. The female employee with the red hair came onto the teller insanely snobby and rude and said, "you expect me to make an 18 inch pizza for one slice?" The most immature part about it was the clear smart ass attitude, which I completely able to recognize through the telling machine. I could not believe how disrespectful, rude, immature, and careless Luke's on Harlem has become. I have come here with family and friends for years and they have never had a more crappy disgusting team working here. It has gotten so dirty, and service has become ridiculously lazy. This place has become an absolute disappointment. So sad. read more

This place is always on point I love there pizza and cheese fries I can eat this everyday , they deliver is fast like jimmy John fast and they always customer service friendly and they hot wings are good too read more

What can I say .. I'm a man of simple pleasures. When I moved to the Northwest side I needed to find a new hot dog joint with good prices. I tried Luke's about 6 years ago and have been ordering ever since. They've gotten better with time. Fries need salt ! read more

I've lived in the area for 4 years and never really tried this place out. Decided to give it a try. Ordered a Italian Combo and a Italian beef for the wife. Bread was soft not like how others in the area the bread is a lil tuff. Sausage and Beef had an amazing flavor. The only problem is that I feel they cheat you on the beef as there was hardly any beef in either of the sandwiches. At same time, we also got cheated on giardenara read more

Pizza delivered in a huge pile of dough! Called manager made a complaint and this is the replacement pizza he sent! Two failed orders, although I was a customer, I will never order from Luke's again! Terrible management. read more

Luke's on Harlem - Hot Dogs Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Usually I have no issue with Luke's - altho recently the pizza seems to have changed. But we ordered from here last night and were extremely disappointed. Something was off about the beef or the fries...I got food poisoning and have been up extolling the food from one end or the other since 1am. I hope that they clean their kitchen, fryers, grease, check for cross contamination and any sort of health code violations that may have caused this - - i wouldn't wish it on anyone!! Sadly, we'd been customers of Luke's for a long time and probably will never order from here again. read more

I have dined at Lukes for decades. On Saturday (March 24th) I went Luke's Pizza (3130 N Harlem Chicago Il 60634) with my service dog, who travels with me everywhere due to a medical condition. After placing my order and paying for it, a gentleman who identified himself as the owner told me I had to take "the dog" outside. It should be noted that my service dog is clearly and properly marked as a such with an orange reflective vest that says "SERVICE DOG'" in bold letters and his calm focused demeanor reflects such, as he is a highly trained and certified medical response dog. I explained that he is a service dog and is allowed everywhere I am, including restaurants. He told me he didn't care, then asked what service he provided and demanded proof that he was a service dog. I calmly explained that federal law prohibits him from inquiring and that I was not going to provide him with my medical information. He then told me I had to leave. I told him I paid for my food and that we were going to remain there and eat it. He began yelling at me and the autistic 14 year old boy (my girlfriend's son) I had with me, demanding we leave. Trying not to aggravate the situation, I suggested he research the law as it pertains to this in that as a restaurant owner he is required by the ADA to know. He said he didn't want to research it and didn't care. As he continued to demand we leave, I again told him we were not leaving and suggested he should call the police if he had a problem. He did so, and based on what I could hear of the conversation was told exactly what I had previously stated. He demanded that officers respond regardless, then told me that I was wasting taxpayer money because it was my fault he had to summon the police. As we ate our food he approached our table and told me he made a mistake even giving me my food. We finished eating and I remained waiting for the police to respond. When officers arrived they were very professional and explained to the owner what the law was and told him he could not ask me to leave based on having a service dog. He then became even more agitated and belligerent with the officers as he obviously didn't want to accept what they had told him. They attempted to explain this to him repeatedly. He said he wanted me to charge me then with trespassing because of my "attitude." They again told him I was doing nothing to warrant this. He then made a slur in reference to the autistic boy. He also said that people could have dog allergies so I should not be able to have him there. With the officer's permission, we left the establishment at this point. This entire incident was witnessed by about 10 other patrons and several employees. I attempted to record this on my phone as it spiraled out of control but was only able to get bits as I have only one functioning hand. I would like to make it clear that in the 3+ years I have had with my service dog I have never been treated like this at any dining establishment nor anywhere else, and we dine out quite a bit. I have never had the police summoned and never been so humiliated. I have filed formal complaints with the U.S. Department of Justice, Illinois Attorney General's Office, Cook County State's Attorney's office, and the Chicago Department of Business and Consumer Affairs. read more

Tonight, I came first in line to get my order. Which was fairly simple. Large fries, and chicken tenders....turns out they gave 4 chicken tenders from elementary school...thin, super freezer like...also, my French fries were some done and some WERENT fully done. I called the restaurant to try and do something about my order...and instead of getting my money back...I was only get offered 10% off my NEXT order...money, and food down the drain. You're better off going to the dawg stop on Belmont...who give out free stuff just because you're in line for too long. UNFORTUNATE since Luke's is around the corner from me. read more

Loveee them! I come here often and Ariana & Lexus that work here are so sweet and have great customer service! Definitely recommend! read more

Been coming to Luke's on and off for over 30 years. What can I say, we have a lot of great beef places and I can count on Luke's as one of them. Fortunately, never had any issues with them. Face it, this is a take out joint for fast food and the service has been always spot on. When near Belmont & Harlem Avenue's, I go to Lukes. Cheers! read more

Great food. Have been ordering for them for years always amazing. Stay local. Steve is the best he has been taking care of me and my family for years. read more

Great food and worth the wait and money. Also open very late and great for a late snack.

Favorite place to go for hot dog / beef sandwich. Pizza is also very good . Service is pleasant and fast . Met the owner Steve years ago and he's very friendly and makes you feel special when he recognizes me as a frequent customer! read more

Meh - I used to go here as a teenager so when we drove by it I had to stop in. You get a huge sack of fries but sadly they were limp undercooked things. I had the meatball sandwich. Not a happy camper. The sauce seemed like it was spooned out of a jar at room temperature and the meatballs were lukewarm at best. Funny smell and taste to the whole sandwich. Should have left that memory in the past. read more

I've come here many times and have never had a problem until today I go through the drive thru and they forget something in my order and I call to let them know and I receive horrible costumer service you tell me "what do you want me to do" is that a joke bro. And you tell me the girl in the window know she put both in the bag well I don't think she really knows what the she was doing considering she was to busy talking with your cook while giving me my order. It sucks cause i actually used to tell everyone how great this place was. Well don't worry I'll make sure to full everyone in about how messed up you handle complaints and I was even nice about it all of wanted was a God damn apology. So I suggest not coming here this was the last time I come here. You've lost a great customer for your crappy service. read more

Luke's on Harlem - I paid for the slice of cheese I would have expected it to be in my bag when I got home. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER! Delivered the incorrect order! I called! They didn't want to bring me the correct order! I was willing to pay another delivery fee and they said "No we will credit you another night". Refusing my order! I ask for an owner or manager and the man on the phone disrespecting me saying just don't shop here any more! WORST EVER! I have had so many issues with them I usually don't say anything but I CAN NOT BELIEVE THE WAY THE REPRESENTATIVE SPOKE TO ME ON SUNDAY MARCH 21. At 10:30PM. read more

The only reason to order from here is because it's open late. The delivery time is horrible. They quote 45-60 minutes, it takes longer. The food is not hot, nor warm. If you get a pop it will be flat by the time you get it. Unless you're drunk the food isn't worth the wait. I called and asked why it was taking so long after an hour wait and the manager said it was because I'm "kind of far off." I live 1.2 miles away. We got a burger, a combo, and some munchie nonsense. How that takes over an hour is beyond me. We ordered on grubhub.com at 2:20 and the receipt says the order was taken at 2:45. That's 35 minutes right there. Their food isn't anything special. Any place around is better and cheaper. And the manager kept calling me Michael. I'm a woman. read more

Luke's on Harlem - Waited over an hour for this garbage from Luke's. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Oh, Luke's...you're alright. You might not have the best tasting hot dog in the city but you deliver to my house so I can't hate you, only love you for being so convenient. The pizza here isn't great...actually it isn't good either so just avoid it altogether but I'll be damned if their meal deals aren't a broke ass' best friend. I wish they'd change their fries though, if they'd go with the crinkle cut I'd be there everyday. read more

Their food = good. Seeing girls you went to highschool with still working at a fast food joint = EPIC. 5 stars for that alone! ... But yeah, their food actually is pretty good. I've never had something I didn't like. LOLBITCHESYOURLIFESUCKSHAHA *ahem* I'm done. read more

This has become my new local beef place. It's a little farther drive than another decent option, but I like the beef here better than anything else around. My beef's never been overcooked, even during off hours, and the juice is very flavorful- highly seasoned. So it's not very beefy, but tasty anyway. If you order your beef wet, juicy or dipped, they don't mess around- it'll be soaked like it should! The sandwich is on the big side too- a good deal. read more

I've never tried Luke's and finally stopped in. I order a beef sandwich with peppers and cheese fries. The cheese fries were cheese fries, like any other place. The beef sandwich was pretty good and I was pleased with it. read more

DO NOT GO HERE!!!!! Paid $80 for a bunch of food and left it outside on the floor with rats crawling all over it. I'm currently pregnant and leaving Chicago tomorrow. They are very rude when I called to ask to replace the food or give me a refund. They threaten to call the cops when my sister in law said she will bring the food back. They also got my order wrong. They gave me 2 orders of spicy mozzarella sticks 1 order of regular and I ordered 1 spicy and 2 regular. $80 worth food for absolute nothing the pizza wasn't even that great. Save yourself the trouble and go to Lou Malnatis. read more

I love Luke's! I moved into the neighborhood back in October and we stumbled upon this place during a late night desire for a good cheeseburger and cheese fries. We haven't stopped ordering take out or stopping in since. As I said, ordering the cheeseburger is a staple for us. The cheese fries are great, and even if they get cold at the house, the cheese still makes them delectable. They recently added the drive up window which I find to be convenient when I'm still in my PJs and don't want to make it completely obvious that today is a no cooking, no showering, a "do nothing" day. Luke's is always there to save the day. I also love that it's late night. My boyfriend gets off work late (bar industry) so it's nice to have some options other than the 24 hour McDonalds down the street that is by the way horrible compared to Luke's. The service is always nice, and whenever we order for delivery they are right on it and here within 20 minutes if not sooner. Sometimes I'm really amazed. I feel like I spoke to a genie, and poof! The buzzer rings. I also met Steve the other night. I believe he was the owner. He seemed like such a great guy. We had some laughs in the drive thru window and off I went. The food is always quick and I have never complained, but I order what I know. The pizza puffs are ok and if you want Chicago pizza, you'll probably go else where, but it's that neighborhood burger joint that you can always depend on. read more

Eh, I was not impressed 20 years ago, and after two decades of avoiding this place, I gave it another try, and got the exact same feeling. I ordered a combo with sweet peppers and asked them to dip it, a small order of fries, and a slice of pepperoni pizza through the drive-thru. When I got home, I found the beef was dry as a bone - a biggg disappointment! That, alone, was enough to ruin the whole thing for me. The beef was ok, as in not fatty, but it was very curly, which is a sign of boiling it instead of slow cooking it in a nice simmer, and it was a little bland, especially without the extra juice I asked for and didn't get. The sausage on there didn't taste bad, but boy was it skinny! Not even the size of the sausage I get from Jewel! The sweet peppers tasted boiled, and not very good. The fries were way too skinny and rubbery - I couldn't even enjoy them. And they didn't even put a single packet of ketchup in the bag, either. The pizza was awful. They're so CHEAP and SKIMPY with the sauce and cheese - although they did put a lot of slices of pepperoni on it, even though the pepperoni was very bitter tasting. The scant amount of sauce had a definite 'canned' quality about it, and tasted a little too ketchupy for me. And unlike the cheese on the pizza at Mr Beef's, which is thick and gooey and pulls away in strings when you take a bite out of it, this cheese had NO pull at all - it was like taking a bite out of a slice of the single serving American cheese slices - plus it was so THINLY LAYERED, the cheese was as flat as a piece of paper, with none of those delicious brown bubbly spots that you get on a REAL pizza. I'm a native born Chicagoan, and a good 50lbs of my body comes from eating Italian beef sandwiches and pizza - if you want a good beef, the BEST and most flavorful beef (and believe me, I've tried them ALL) go to Marco's on Fullerton and Austin. I don't particularly care for their pizza, either, though. But their fries are really good, the perfect thickness to sink your teeth into, with a nice golden outside and a super moist inside. Plus they have Cherry Coke - which is way too hard to find around here! The pizza I like the best from one of these beef stand joints is Mr Beef's pizza, on Harlem, just a bit before the mall. Their beefs are pretty good, too, but Marco's beats them all hands down. I only picked Lukes because it's close, and the drive-thru is open late. They're not my first choice, and will never be, but they're good for a late night run of mediocre munchies. read more

Lukes! I've been coming to this place for years now. I love the food and the staff is always really nice. They have awesome combos I love their hotdogs their burgers and the slices of pizza are really good too. The main reason I'm not giving Lukes five stars is because they're pretty overpriced compared to other hotdog joints like this. And hate that special sauce that comes on the burgers, They are open late and deliver late which is pretty cool. If your in the area stop by the food is good just make sure you have some extra money because it's pricey! read more

Love their pizza puffs, burgers and cheese fries. The service is good and the drive through is fairly quick. Great for a fast food craving.

The restaurant food is great but they pulled a fast one. They charged me for a meal but I ordered a cheeseburger & a small French fries. They charged me for a number two which includes a drink. When I bought it to their attention they said that it was a large glass of water which according to them it is the same as a drink. read more

Got to Johnnie's literally 30 seconds after they closed. Me and the portly cop that rolled up after me were disappointed. I'm from Detroit, but had long heard tale of Italian Beef. Last year, I tried it and sausage at Johnnie's and was blown away with flavor and value. But, still needing my fix, I searched out Luke's hoping to be equally impressed. Not even close. The drive thru was convenient. But the food quality just wasn't there. The beef was well textured, but low on the flavor. The bread was awful. Tasted like stale bread that was microwaved. Soggy in parts, inedibly tough in other parts. The actual sausage was the best part (I took out of the bun). But the price was pretty high for what I got. I ordered a Italian Beef with sweet&hot peppers. A sausage with sweet peppers. And a Large Fry. I also asked for hot sauce and was charged $.50 for a little thing of Frank's. The amount of peppers I received was comically small (literally 3 pieces on my sausage). My total out the door was over $15. I could have gotten so much more better tasting food had I been a little more punctual! Anyways... Sorry Luke. But you just didn't bring it. Customer service was Ok. And they place didn't look dirty through the drive thru. But I will not return. On to seek out more beef! read more
