Lemon Tree Casual Dining

This place is a typical burger/hot dog joint -- don't expect gourmet cuisine, it's great for what it claims to be and it's a good value. People are right, the BG fries are awesome! You must try them!

I'm pretty much writing this review to comment on the drive-thru. Their drive-thru is not a typical drive-thru, speedy. The reason: EVERYTHING is made to order. They don't sandbag fries and burger patties with the expectation that people will order them, like the typical major fast food chain. The whole purpose of this is to eliminate a trip inside the restaurant. It's for convenience. Do not expect the cashier to hand you a bag of food as soon as you get to the window. You will wait, but your food will be fresh. As a side note, you can phone in your order and pick it up in the drive-thru. I typically order my food and almost immediately drive up there. Also, if I remember correctly, they drop your fries when you get there to guarantee their freshness.

The staff at Lemon Tree is always friendly.

First, this place was never a Dog 'N Suds. The D 'n S was directly across the
street. It was a cruising insitution in Lemont.

For the rest of the "fans" (?) of the Lemon Tree, are you giving the place some sort
of backhanded praise by broadcasting how unhealthy their food is but touting the fries? Watch some tv, everything but a bowl of Cheerios with bottled spring water is bad for you. I've been past it a thousand times and haven't stopped there and
tonight as I consider it I made the mistake of  reading these reviews. What's the story? Is the food expensive for what it is or reasonable? Is the place a dirty
dive or a typical small drive in? Are the employees slow and indifferent or are they doing their job? I know the food won't kill me so I won't put any stock into what
you have to say there. I guess I've just got to try it.

they have garlic butter fries....so?....the prices are not great and the food isn't as good as Portillos....I suggest comparing quality and prices and then you also can write a review...And believe me we need good restaurant in Lemont!!
