    Always a pleasure to eat at Lou's when I'm in town. Great food but my server Tamara made it special. Especially meeting the needs of my young granddaughter. Can't say enough good things about the night.

    Booked a table for 6pm and didn’t get seated until 7pm. Staff was nice and offered to get us two appetizers that was great. However, kids got tired and cranky from waiting.

    All the food was good. However, my daughter’s personal crustless pizza came out incorrect. That unfortunately took an additional 15-20 minutes.
