"Ever since the closing of Muskie's in 2014, Northsiders have wandered from joint to joint in search of the perfect charburger. That flavor is to be found at Red Hot Ranch in Lakeview, and on the cheap, too! RHR has two locations and a fairly typical fast food menu, but never mind the dogs, Polishes or even the fried shrimp basket; this place exists to serve charred double-cheeseburgers and hand-cut fries for under five bucks.
Don't let the simple deccor fool you all that's needed is a griddle and a deep fryer (note the bags of stacked spuds in the hall behind the counter), and every cop in the joint is happy (you'll seldom see fewer than two officers chowing down at RHR on a given visit). The friendly staff prepares your Double with the standard lettuce, tomato, onion and House sauce, but in order to really savor that distinctive griddled taste, strip it down to just mustard and onion, and sink your teeth into one of the most flavorful bargains in the city!"
Visited the red hot ranch tonight, really enjoyed the natural casing Vienna hot dog wrapped with hand cut french fries (depression style) as well as the hand breaded shrimp. friendly service, very reasonable prices, clean establishment. I'll be back if I happen to be this direction anytime soon
Looking for something cheap, quick, & delicious? RHR is the spot. $5 for a fantastic burger with special sauce and fries! Hidden gem for late nights until 4 am Hidden in lakeview. Thank me later.
