Chicago Steak & Lemonade

Love the food there, always get it for lunch and amazing lemon pepper wings and cheesecakes!

Great food quality. A little slow but overall good food. The guy that took the order was acting a little weird but i think he was just trying to make conversation.

Man, I walked into this place with eyes wide open and hopeful. As soon as I opened the filthy front door I was overwhelmed by the stale heat inside. Let me say that today is 95 degrees and humid as hell & the internal temperature was a near match. The only difference was that the outside was HUMID and the inside was a sticky Petrie dish.The inside of the place was seriously a shambles. The entryway was filthy, the dining area (or what used to be) was cluttered and filthy. The countertops at the register looked like there'd been cleaned a week or two Pryor. The kitchen area was well, if I were a 4 legged critter I'd be in heaven.Then menu is misleading so (Owner(s)update your prices). I tried to read the menu but the refrigerator in front of it was blocking the lower 1/5th of the menu. It looked more like a chicken stand you'd find in southwest Asia versus an American business here in Louisville. I'd like to say that this place has potential but who am I kidding. Y'all (the public) haven't even updated your reviews on over 6 years. Seriously though, WTF? If your looking for a place to get sick and throw your money away, this is your place. If not, don't bother stopping here as the parking is quite a cluster. At least it's on theme with sh#t show you'll see when you step foot in this place gone rancid. HEY HEALTH DEPARTMENT Get over here and do your job!Seriously the owner of this place needs to go back and take a business management and or hospitality class or two. Hell, maybe even call in Gordon Ramsey or that balding British musclebound chef to do a makeover. You are definitely a top candidate for the show(s). I truly hate ripping you a big one but damn, I've been all over the world and in some of the nastiest places you can think of like Haiti, Honduras, Korea, Eastern Europe, SWA and other places would make your nostrils weep, your skin crawl and your stomach expel it's contents in its entirety. And of all these places that I cannot erase from my mind, your establishment will be a front runner along with the aforementioned.Good Luck...

Lets start with the basics, great frozen lemonades, very good flavors, colors and presentation. great Philly style sandwiches.Now this is not the kind of place you really want to hang out in and some people may feel unsafe in the area and in regard to who is coming and going. But the staff is friendly and talkative but a little slow.This reminds me of so many gritty little places you find in very large cities, local places with great food and not much else that cater to the neighborhood.The restrooms were clean but sparse, the tables simple, old and worn as was the building but it still got a good health score and an A.The guy who took our order (I think Pakistan or some other area from that part of the world) spoke good English and was very friendly. But also speaking in his native tongue on a boom cell phone headset that was never off nor was he ever off the phone. I found it amusing only because it was a typical look of big city first generation entrepreneurs trying to make deals and get ahead I admire the effort and energy.So if you like finding whole in the wall places with tasty food this might be worth a try. Edgy neighborhood, a parade of characters from pastors, drug dealers, gang bangers poor young couples, and guys in ties slumming from downtown on their lunch breaks this kind of place might be your cup of tea.I'm not sure I would come here at night and if I did I would call ahead but if you like a place with an edge and charisma check it out.

So, it seems the wind is pretty strong from Chicago, because apparently the greasy breeze has blown in a few of these joints. Four locations so far, sticking more to the West or South end. And the menu is either deep fried or on a flat grill. That's not necessarily a bad thing but just keep that in mind because if you're expecting any low-carb options, you won't find them.The location I happened to be passing by is on Cane Run Rd., and I thought fried fish on a Friday would be appropriate so I stopped in. A small line had formed for the carry-out, the service was quick though and I stepped to the counter and placed my order, and then stepped aside while I waited. As I waited, a call-in order stopped in to pick up their food. She handed the cashier her money and her food was brought to her immediately. However, apparently there was an issue with lemon pepper. It seems that lemon pepper is the spice of choice on all CS&L's fried food. And lots of it. And this customer didn't want any of it and supposedly had requested none be on her order. Of course, a short argument ensued and the merits of lemon pepper in all it's glorious goodness were expounded upon but in the end, the customer is always right. The manager acquiesced and the order was re-done.My number was called immediately after this little drama. I paid and headed home, fried food in hand. With stuff like this, I'm not sure what I expect. It's deep-fried food. There's not many ways to go. The food was OK. Lemon-peppery large portions of fried food. Not much more to be said, but it's doubtful I'll go back. It's simply not that special and the overall experience lands somewhere between meh and eh.

They haven't let me down yet. The Frozen Lemonade is so good, sometimes I crave it & have to go!

Good comfort food, open late and a great price! You have to try the lemonades that they have there. I love the purple rain. The catfish nuggets and the Philly cheesesteak are great! We have to eat here every time we come to town

Onion rings best in the city! Manger make you think he knows you. And can member what you ordered last time! Extremely pleasant, makes me want to try the menu. But the Philly with Onion rings is my go to!
