I live right around the corner from this place and had stopped in once many years ago for some hot dogs but I did not have any recollection of them so it must have been an average stop. Anyway, stopped in here for some breakfast items this time because I happened to be driving by at the breakfast time period. This place has an off the beaten path location so I give it props for being able to stay in the restaurant business which is a tough biz to be in. One other person eating in here during my visit. Ordered Biscuits and gravy and a Ham and Egg sandwich. Both were pretty good. Solid renditions at a decent price. Service was fast. I shall return. Cheers to All

Here’s my story — and its all about the famous egg sandwich… and nothing about wieners… So, my friend has a business in the area not far from Lu & Ton’s. He say’s he stops at this place on most Saturdays to pick up egg sammies for his workers(very nice gesture I might add) and that his guys’ love em. Now, I’ve drove past this suspicious looking joint many times, as it’s located in a heavy industrial area virtually across the street from UPS. It’s been here for a very, very long time… and I’ve always wondered how this place is still in business, cause, well — it looks kinda lonely and has a not-so-good rap… So, my friend keeps bragging about these sandwiches… he just never shuts up about it. Then he proceeds to tell me how nice the woman behind the counter is, how great the beefs, gyros & polishes are, and how they have all these different menu & breakfast items. I’m thinkin, are you pullin my leg? I was given a burger from here once, but didn’t think much of it… So, «how could this place be any good? I thought only the local workers ate here purely out of convenience»?.. He kept reassuring me, this was not the case… So one morning, my friend stops over unexpectedly, white paper bag in hand and says: «I brought you an egg sandwich from Lu & Ton’s»…(imagine my sudden fear and perplexed disposition at the thought of having to eat this, I was scared… really scared) of course I appreciated the thought, but my friend will eat virtually anything — yes ANYTHING. He even thinks BK’s tacos are the BOMB(to give you an idea.) yeah, I agree — ewwwwwww. Knowing I had to face the music — or egg sammie in this case — I pulled from the bag a politely wrapped, monstrosity… upon unwrapping, I noticed thick Texas toast(nicely griddled), comprised of 2THICK slices of ham, perfectly melted cheddar cheese and very attractive fried egg — a little sunny and oozy with the fluffiest egg whites I’d ever seen — in fried form. A perfect fried egg. After one bite — to my utter and complete surprise, I was in egg sammie heaven… OMG…this was one of THE best egg sandwiches I have ever eaten!!! Definitely better than my own, and makes the Egg McMuffin look like a BK taco(well, not exactly, but you get the point). I don’t even usually order egg sammies… This was super filling too. I could only eat half(saved rest), it was pretty hearty & probably not very healthy, but WOW this was DAMN good! I’ve only had this once. But the next time I crave this(not only will I ask my friend to grab it) — I will opt out of the ham, & get the bacon instead — if I’m gonna splurge on fat, I might as well go all out… And so now I know why Lu & Ton’s is a popular spot and has been around for so long. They know how to make a delicious, one-of-a-kind, famous egg sammie(among other things I’m told), have the friendliest workers, and all I can say is — I’m a lucky girl for having had a bite of famousness… ps. Never judge a book by it’s cover pss. Never judge a friend who thinks BK tacos is the greatest invention since sliced bread, cause, sometimes, they’re tastebuds are spot on… SOMETIMES…

Their prices are reasonable. The food is pretty good. The people that works the court are always friendly and polite. It’s mainly here for all of the workers here in the industrial area. I really wouldn’t come here if my dad didn’t work in the area.

Great place for great food and quickness that makes Jimmy Johns look like a nursing home! The hotdogs easily rival Portillos, beefs come close, Gyros are very good as well.

Never been disappointed there! The cooks who I assume are Lu and Ton are always friendly! I was not able to hit their spot for almost a year and when I went back a couple weeks ago they asked how my child was who they seen maybe only a couple times a year ago! I always got dogs, burgers, or egg sandwiches when i went. This time i tried their beef sandwich. Easily one of the best tasting I have ever had. I can’t believe I was missing out on it for all these years! I’ve already been back twice because I now crave it which is crazy because normally I am a dog and burger guy. Between the high quality and flavorful taste of their food and their friendliness, the only thing keeping me from going there three times a day is my doctor!

I had the burger and my friend had a hot dog and fries. Food was fresh and juicy. Good fries, the place is neat and the staff was fast with my order and offered all the extras. I have been here for breakfast and its always good.

Located on a street seemingly in an industrial park area sits a small restaurant called Lu and Ton’s Wieners. There are a few Vienna Beef umbrellas just outside the door and a handful of parking spots. Initially when trying to locate this eatery I had thought my GPS was deceiving me as this place is in a seemingly unlikely location for a hot dog stand. In walking in I decided to try a hot dog and fries. I placed my order and in no time at all was on my way. The hot dog I purchased came on a regular non-poppy seed bun. The bun was soft but had slight dryness on the bottom. There was a huge pickle spear sealing the contents of the hot dog in, directly behind the huge pickle spear were two very large tomato chunks followed by onions, relish and mustard. I didn’t detect any celery salt on the hot dog. The frank itself was skinless, well heated and fairly tasty. The application of the mustard, relish and onions was fine. However the pickle taste overpowered the rest of the hot dog flavor. The fries were of the crinkle cut variety. They were crispy on the outside and a bit saltier than most, overall they weren’t bad and were a nice compliment to the hot dog. Overall Lu and Ton’s Wieners is a solid hot dog place. I’d say it ranks within the realm of average, meaning if you happen to be in the area it’s worth stopping for a quick bite. However, it’s not worth going out of the way to visit. Three stars.

Energetic and worth the effort to try. The staff keeps things moving, the food is very good for a greasy spoon, and the value is high. Had a solid Jalapeño Cheeseburger followed a few days later by a nice dog & chili dog. Definitely give it a try!

When I read the reviews of this place I figured they were just written by friends of the owner for some reason. I went anyway for breakfast. The biscuits & gravy were good and I was surprised. I guess I have to come back and try the combo since there was a good review on that also. My guess is the combo won’t be any better than average since this place is located in an industrial park. It’s a little fast food hot dog joint.

Breakfast is amazing. Biscuits and gravy special, French toast special. Fast friendly service. Breakfast(home fried hashbrowns) and coffee for less than $ 5. Rather than waiting 4 min in fast food dive-thru, enjoy a home cooked breakfast

Probably the best combo(Italian sausage and Italian beef on a roll) that I’ve had in the area. Added the slice of mozzerella to it and it melted to perfection. Cheese fries so good they almost made lose it in the store. Would recommend stopping here for lunch or dinner if you’re in the area. Hell, if you want a tasty combo and cheese fries for breakfast I wouldnt fault you for it.
