Sometimes you don't want to eat out fancy...you just want good value for your dollar and hopefully, good food. Lobbys meets both criteria and more.
Having eaten at Lobbys numerous times, I felt it was time to actually review it and share my findings with others. The menu is small, but the food is great.
One of the items I look at when evaluating a burger is if the establishment is willing to cook it medium rare. This may seem like a crazy thing to be looking at, but if a place isn't willing to cook the beef medium rare, it means they don't have confidence in the quality of their beef...and if they don't have confidence in their product, then neither do I. Burgers are 1/3 pound and you can get them stacked up to 4 pounds at a time! (yes - there is a board with pictures of those who have been successful).
Their Italian Beef sandwich is the best I have had in many years. A nice hoagie roll filled with piles of thin sliced roast beef, dipped in au Jus. Available with sweet or hot peppers it's a true winner. Be prepared to have to wash up after eating it - they drip down your arms they are so juicy.
The Chicago-style Hot Dog is a totally different experience than a typical hot dog. Served on a poppy seed bun, it is true Chicago style even to the neon green relish and celery salt, not to mention the sport peppers, tomatoes, pickles and onions. If your from Chicago, this will make you homesick.
I'd be wrong if I didn't mention the chili. No beans - just meat, and plenty of it. The chili is homemade and is never skimped upon, whether you get it in a bowl, on a hot dog, or mounded over fries. Speaking of fries, their portions are large, as are their drinks, and their sandwiches.
The food here is a bargain at the price, is good quality, and best of all, has wonderful flavor. Sanitation is good, and the restrooms are always clean.
I highly recommend it for an inexpensive, filling, and tasty meal.
