    It doesn't matter which Bar Louie you go to , you will most likely be let down.We sat at a table for at least 10 minutes before we decided to go up to the bar to finally get our drinks and order food.

    Huge restaurant with two large bars. Get the soft pretzels with dipping sauces for an appetizer and try the fried Louie burger. Do it!

    Our waitress was super great! Loved the wings, spinach artichoke dip could have been a lot better though

    Potstickers were good. Mac and cheese was watery - more like Kraft than baked - and my wife said the meatballs were marginal. No need to go to one again. Service was good, thought.

    You can make a pitcher of 'Tequila Mockingbird' at home: Liter Sauza Blue, quart of fresh sour, 1/2 cup lime, 1/2 bottle Hum Spirit. Or just ask your server for one.

    Dollar burger night on Tuesdays is pretty great, but drinks ($8 beers) are killers... Where are the drink specials??

    These go down too easy 'Naked as a...' with Skyy Ginger. Ask for the HUM menu

    Long wait for simple food. Meatball sandwich took 30 minutes and wasn't good. I'd try them again since the service was great and the server was very sympathetic about my wait. Atmosphere was vibrant.

    Burgers are $5 on Tuesdays now - but I don’t recommend them. Sloppy, salty messes. Service at the bar is stellar but I’d recommend ordering beer only.
