Lou's Diner

FatCat not like to brag, but FatCat recently try Chicken Fried Steak for first time in cat life #3 *. FatCat think it funny that chicken fried steak have no chicken in it, but FatCat not too picky. FatCat only care about flavour** and FatCat not disappointed with Lou's Diner. Things FatCat Like- Flavour of fried steak. FatCat expecting chicken, but instead FatCat get something better, beef steak in fried chicken clothing.- Waitress lady not even think twice after seeing cat reading menu. Treating FatCat like real person. FatCat like hospitality.Things FatCat Not Like - Sticky table, but small price to pay for good food.FatCat attach photo of meal for you to drool over. You welcome.Footnotes:* We talked about cat life #1 and cat life #2 in another post. ** Canadian spelling for word flavor, FatCat not make typo. Put away guns Americans. we friends now. British people not involved in Canada any more, but we still borrow British spelling sometime.

After leaving Cataract Falls on a Monday evening we were looking for a place to call in an order for pick up & take back to our AirB&B. That's when we found Lou's Diner. We looked at the menus on Yelp. I called to place an order. The lady on the phone said it would be about 20 minutes (which was perfect because it was going to take us 15 minutes to get there). The parking lot was packed but luckily there were a few spots open. I parked & walked in. There was a specific area for pick up orders. I went to the window. I could see several large groups of people at tables eating. They all looked like they were having a good time.A lady came over & asked for my name. Our food came out as she was giving me the total. Both ladies were super nice. Mom & I both ordered cheeseburgers. I ordered fries with mine & mom ordered onion rings. Our burgers were very tasty. The fries were good - nothing crazy. But those onion rings? Incredible. They were perfectly crispy & delicious. We talked about driving back just to get another order. Overall, if you are looking for a local place to eat - this seems like this is where the locals come on a regular basis & I understand why. Great prices & great food.

Great food and service.Wonderful ambiance! The servers always were smiling and seemed very happy to be there! Had a great meal!

Returning home from a business trip to St. Louis. Atmosphere was very pleasant. Waitress was SUPER cute and easy. That darn breaded tenderloin was MASSIVE and delicious.....whoever they have makin' pie, killed it on the chocolate pie.

If you're passing through and looking for a piece of home, Lou's is your place! Two friends and I were on our way from Missouri to Ohio when we felt a rumbling in our tummies. We're so glad we pulled into Lou's. This was a real conversation we had while driving away:"That was a very, very good cheeseburger.""It was really good.""Yeah.""We should've had the pork tenderloin, man."It's safe to say that we'll be back!

It's a travesty to roadside diners like Lou's that the American traveler has become caught up in the "hurry" of fast food while traveling or opt to fly. Missing the opportunity experience the epitome of the American dining experience. The local mom & pop diner. Lou's is exactly that. Located about a mile off interstate 40 at exit 41 in Indiana. You wouldn't know it was here. Thank you Yelp! It's clearly where the Coverdale, population 2100, locals eat. We were greeted warmly as soon as we walked in the door. It's cozy diner, nothing fancy. The booth seat has tears patched together with duct tape but they were comfy! I didn't sink into them or have anything poking me where it shouldn't. The waitress was pleasant and happy to help me decide what to eat. Everything on the menu is home style. Meatloaf, pork tenderloin, club sandwich. Nothing fancy. My pork tenderloin came out on a 16" plate! I ate over half and my to go box was still a full dinner portion!! Insane. My husband ordered the meatloaf and it didn't need any ketchup or gravy. That's got to speak volumes. Of course they also have pie but I ate too much tenderloin. Don't be afraid to get off the interstate at the small towns. They have the best local eats.

Good food, good service. This is a little hometown diner with homemade food. We got the pulled pork sandwich and the pork tenderloin. Both were good but the pork tenderloin is the way to go. It is hand breaded and it is also not as thin as a normal Indiana tenderloin. It had good flavor and is HUGE! We went right at 11 and food came out quick. Service was all friendly.

Service was great food is good we'll be coming back here five star restaurant so good for Mom and Pop's delicious home cooked food will be coming backk

What's not to love about Lou's? The atmosphere is like stepping back into a 50's diner. I would love to try their other food, but every time, I end up getting their breaded tenderloin. They're just too good to pass up! They're huge, tender and delicious! I order an extra bun and fixings, but I get at least 3 meals from it. This time I ordered their hand-breaded, fried mushrooms instead of fries. They were amazing! It was a generous order. Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Lou's prices are very reasonable. Also, the waitress was very attentive, but not invasive. I'm always bragging about Lou's to my friends who are never disappointed!

Just a basic small town diner. Service was great. They stop serving breakfast at 11 which was disappointing. Very reasonably priced. Patty melt was ok - no rye bread.
