    A modern and very Hip diner. The staff is friendly and cool, the type of folks you wouldn't mind hanging out with. Such a relaxing atmosphere. Great place to come after work to unwind. And the food is delicious! The Seasoned waffle fries are so tasty. The drink list is interesting, I couldn't pass up a drink named Rosemary's Baby's Daddy! Nice! We stayed indoors because of the rain clouds looming, but it sounded like there was lots of fun going on outside despite the drizzle. I will definitely visit again!

    Went here for a private event in the patio area hosted by Jagermeister. This is a cute casual restaurant in the front but has an awesome bar and Patio in the back with bocce ball. If you're headed to the patio or outdoor yard, enter either through the front of the restaurant or on the left side of the restaurant, there is a door that will lead you straight into the patio. You will walk past live plants that are planted in rows of gutters mounted on the wall. This is so impressive and an awesome idea that I might want to attempt it in my house. When you step into the bar area you are greeted by a long bar that is fully stocked with many options . The patio area is awesome, bright, airy, and fun. Lots of tables and even some stadium seating so that you can watch your friends while they play bocce ball. A perfect place to meet friends for a drink or for brunch. We had pulled pork, macaroni and cheese, corn that was grilled on the barbecue and some homemade biscuits that tasted out-of-this-world! Can't wait to come back for brunch or lunch!

    Don't let the empty dining room fool you, the bar side is bustling. Lou's had good drinks. Mood was very lively (aka loud). This clearly is a trendy spot to grab a drink, particularly with those who are under 40 years old. Lighting was dim. Seating options could be improved. Be prepared to stand unless you get there early to snag a table or bar spot.

    Stopped for a quick snack. The biscuits were AMAZING!!! So fluffy, buttery, and flavorful!! I would be happy if that was all I ate there! The fried eggplants were super disappointing though, it was just an oily mess. I would not recommend that. Black sesame soft serve was so dense and heavy but I loved it!!!!!!! It was better than any pint container you can buy in Asian markets. I didn't like it with sprinkles, and it melted too fast in the summer to eat it with those little wooden sticks. We need real spoon to eat it fast and drink the melted one :)

    We ordered 4 salads, elote, and queso & chips. Two of the salads had hair in them. Lost our appetite after that. The salads didn’t taste good either…very overpriced, and should have been considered side salads as they were not filling and mostly just greens. The queso was extremely watery. The server was unapologetic about the issues with the food. Elotes corn was good though. Cute ambiance.

    A casual restaurant with suprisingly good food and a casual atmosphere. It has a sepate garden room which i suspect can be made privatr. Attached is the Moneygun Saloon which isn int eresting pub bar. There are plenty of special drink nites and events.

    Yummy gourmet snacks in an unexpected space. Located in the rear of a day restaurant. Add good music, nice service, and good company, really enjoyed my short stay here. Tried the Foie Gras with biscuits, Queso, Flameado, and Stracciatela. All three were delicious and went well with the beautiful red wine, Wolfe's from Washinghton state. A beautiful petite syrah, Zinfindale blend. Will return soon.

    I originally had this place as 5 stars, but having just visited again (July 2018) they completely changed their menu and removed my favorite item (chorizo hash). The “hash browns” were three burnt slabs of hash brown with three slices of Tasso Ham (ham was good). I also tried the chicken and waffles but the chicken was bland and salty. I ate 1 of 4 pieces. Blech will not come back.

    The food wasn't bad, it was about what you'd expect for the price. The service was beyond slow when we went for brunch. It took about 5 minutes to get water and at least another 5 minutes before our waitress even acknowledged us. When it came time to pay it took another 5 - 7 minutes just to get the card back. This would be a great place if the service was better.

    fun spot with good cocktail options. very close to downtown, which depending on who you ask, will give a different response. A 3 star rating from my side.

  • 5/5 Gabriel S. 1 year ago on Google
    I enjoyed Lou's Backyard. I went there with a friend of mine. We ordered wings, loaded waffle fries and a few beers that hit the spot so perfectly. We also enjoyed the atmosphere and the servers were all friendly. If you are in the area check it out.

    Went for brunch. Patio was a pretty chill place, but the music was not exactly brunch ambience. Way too loud. They make you pay for a reservation, but only tell you that it's been credited on the bill. No proof... Food was average/ok. Service was average/ok.

    Drinks were strong and food was great. However, the service was poor. I went here for a company mixer and the staff was rude. The woman who walked around taking drink orders basically just wanted to get the job done and the bartender was just rude.

    Really great cocktails! Wide range of alcohol and liqueurs. Great set-up inside and outside. Fun to see the Bacci ball « lane ». We appreciated the DJ’s;good range and diversity. Very queer friendly.

    The food and drinks were okay. Our experience would have been better without the showing of a slasher movie during our time here. We asked if the movie could be turned off and our request was denied. Would not recommend and will not be returning.
