This past April literally marked the first time in over 30 years that I've eaten here. I lived in RL from May '89- Nov '02 but the whole time I lived here, only came here like maybe 3 times. Sadly I didn't start driving to school till my senior year but the whole time during my sophomore and junior years in high school, I walked by the local favorite 5 days/wk to school but only stopped in 2x that whole time. The very 1st time was shortly after we moved in during the summer of '89 with my dad. I guess once I started driving, my friends and I typically liked leaving town and exploring everywhere else. I guess in my much older age now, took me this long to realize what a gem Lily's really is. When I first walked in this past spring, I immediately recognized the guy in glasses behind the counter. Once I was ready to order after stepping up to the counter, when the guy (owner) walked up and greeted me I was like "are you the same guy I saw roughly 35 years that took my dad & I's order?" He smiled and said that probably was him and that he recognized me. The RL area has a few local favorite spots and Lily's is truly a shining example. The owner/staff are friendly here, the dining area is relatively small but kept clean and the prices towards the wonderful Chicago style grub are still reasonable despite the craziness that started in the spring of 2020 and got worse. The cash-only venue boasts some really good food and the gyros mountain was some of the most delicious I've had in a while. Before we left, I spoke with the owner and promised that I wouldn't take nearly as long to stop in again and he smiled and said "ok, I'll be waitin' for ya!" Although I was never popular in school, wasn't a jock or anything and may not have had the most fond memories growing up in the area; Lily's will definitely always have a place in my heart and goes down as one of the very best Chicago grills in the county. I always try my best to support local and hope for continued success & prosperity for the owner.

Lily's is an older Beef and Burger place. Food is good and the portions are large. Cash only keeps the prices cheap. We like the Italian beef, the burgers, Mountain gyro, and I order the fries extra crispy or get the onion rings. My friends like the meatropolis and the Vienna hot dogs.

The person who took my order was really nice, I like him and the food is sooo good, and it is very affordable

Great food, great prices, and excellent service! Can't wait to pass through again!

Best burger I have had in a very long time. Very reasonable prices. Great atmoshere with indoor and outdoor dining. Great staff.

Read all the reviews recently about the beef sandwiches. So I stopped in to place an order. I wasn't disappointed. Just the right amount of beef and cheese on a generous Italian bread roll. It didn't come with a side of au jou but it wasn't needed. It was a good sandwich at a really good price.

Food was great!! Fries were extremely good and the Italian beef was some of the best I have had.
