Lou’s - Barton Springs

Stopped after a bike tour of downtown. Ordering is easy. Happy hour specials are nice. Our group ordered chicken wings, chicken tenders, a burger and the pulled chicken sandwich. No complaints!!Good outdoor seating, nice ambiance. Waitstaff attentive.

Everything was good and mild: burger was tasty but it didn't taste like it had avocado and jalapeño in it even though it had both (not creamy nor spicy like I was hoping), fries we bland, ordering is done via QR (staff is pleasant), and the atmosphere is pleasantly beachy.The price feels a little high for the food, however, the location is great and comes with complementary parking. Had to hail a waiter down to get a water after my food was delivered. Thought it odd I wasn't offered a drink when food was delivered.Would recommend if you are looking for a casual spot to chow and have a beer or to carb up after swimming at Barton Springs or playing in Zilker Park. Otherwise, go elsewhere for better burgers and fries for the price.

Love Lou's for a casual dining spot! I've been a couple times and I like the vibe. There's plenty of outdoor seating which is what I prefer and the staff here are very attentive, cleaning up tables quickly. I also like how they provide a doggy water bowl when you bring a pet with you. In terms of the food, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu but my fav has to be the rotisserie chicken. I'm not usually a rotisserie fan but this one blew me away with the flavor and tenderness of the chicken. It's done to perfection! Also really love the roasted potatoes with the garlic confit. So delicious and I will keep coming back!

Burgers were on point. I wasn't a big fan of ordering from and paying from my phone. I guess I am just old fashion when it comes to service. I also think for the price everything should come with a side.

I'll start off by saying this can be a solid spot for some sports viewing, especially if you're interested in viewing sports in an environment that is less like the loud and grungy sports bar vibe. (Which, of course, I don't mind)A good amount of space (indoor, outdoor, and even in the back "treehouse" room) with ample TVs, and a solid menu. You'll find on the menu your traditional bar options like burgers, chicken wings, and chips and queso, but also some unexpected options like hot chicken, piri piri rotisserie, sandwiches and dense salads. We went for the buttermilk crispy chicken (bone-in) to snack on, with a side of piri piri. I'd say it's similar to a chimichurri. I'm a fan! On second thought, would suggest piri piri for the rotisserie, rather than fried chicken. Chips and Queso were also top notch. Using tostadas, instead of flimsy thin chips, was a plus. Not sure what all goes into the queso, but it was for sure tasty and the cut green onions were a nice touch. Service was great! If you're a UConn fan, most viewing parties will be found in the treehouse.

This was my first time going to this Lou's location, although I've been to the location on the east side many times before. The menu is similar but has a couple small difference here and there. The most notable is the lack of frozen margs at this location. I highly recommend the spicy cucumber ranch water, which is very refreshing and tastes like a slightly less sweet marg. The wine selection is also great. My go at the other Lou's has always been the giant salads or the burgers. The sandwiches are good as well, but a little less exciting than the burgers and salads. I was a little dismayed to find little pieces of chicken bones in my salad this time, but once they picked them out, the rest of the salad was pretty solid. Definitely keep an eye out for the happy hour schedule (weekdays 4-6) and the specials on Mon-Tues-Wed! The free underground parking here is also a nice plus.

A happy hour go-to for me!$25/pitchers (normally $50 which is insane) and $9.50 for a dozen wings with your choice of 2 sauces.Drive into the parking garage, walk inside and seat yourself. Scan the QR code on the table (if you don't have service, Wi-Fi is listed at each table). Order and enjoy!Once you're done, grab a parking validation ticket on your way out

This place simply wins on location. Service is lackluster - basically non existent. Their happy hour on wings is a good deal - not sure we'd return to pay full price for this food.

Tastyyyy oh my. You walk in and sit wherever you like and order through at QR code. This is kinda nice cause you won't have any interruptions but I also like being able to ask the server what they recommend. I always feel weird about tipping at places like this without a true server but I thought of it more as a bar level tip. The ambiance is pretty chill and I enjoyed the vibe. They validate parking for the garage. I got the cheese burger with bacon and DAMN it is a good burger. I think the price is reasonable for the quality. Got the Paloma to drink and it was delicious. They have patio seating and plenty of space inside. Definitely recommend trying it out if you're in the area.Overall a great experience.

Order at table via QR code link style. Not quite as personal as table service and an awesome location.Patio over looks Barton Springs Rd with an awesome venue and televisions.Food and its delivery service was good.
