I love the fresh food at Lou's, and also I love how quickly they got my meal to me. They make their own root beer, and it's delicious!

Lou's Drive-In is a well-known Peoria summer spot, often compared to places like Emo's and The Ice Cream Shack. The restaurant is famous for its busy teamwork, great-tasting coney dogs, and delicious mugs of root beer. While vegetarian options are limited and dietary restrictions should be noted, the restaurant is kid-friendly and accessible for wheelchair users. Parking is available in a ground-level lot. It operates mainly as an outdoor dining spot, with a nostalgic feel that draws a busy lunch crowd. Visitors often enjoy classic meals like burgers and fries, and many say the root beer at Lou's is phenomenal. During the cold weather, Lou's also sells Christmas trees, making it a seasonal destination for both food and holiday shopping. The place has a simple setup, where customers order at a small building and then eat outside, in their car, or take food to go. The experience is about enjoying good, straightforward food in a fun, nostalgic environment.
