My son & I wanted to find some good food so I jumped onto Yelp and wouldn't ya know I was 700fr from Lou Lou Food & Drink on Sears Avenue in Louisville. What a cute place. Small & mighty are the two words I would describe it. This place is in a shopping plaza and is not the biggest establishment; however, it makes up for it in flavors!!!! Wow!! Cajun/creole vibe that hits you as soon as you walk in. The ambiance instantly put a smile on my face. We didn't have reservations, but they seated us right away. The staff were amazing. So nice and fast. The menu has something for everyone. I really wanna go back and try some more things. We chose the crab cake for our appetizer. Man this was packed full of flavor. One of the best crab cakes I've had. The grilled veggies were amazing!!!! For entrees we chose linguine with meatballs & lasagna. Both entrees were divine!!!! One thing I liked in particular was their entrees come in different sizes. We got the small sizes and I still ended up taking leftovers home. We will definitely be back. So delish!

We just went to the new Middletown location. We had made a reservation since it just opened and we figured it would be crowded. We were sat immediately but the hostess forgot to give us menus. Our waitress came over shortly after we sat down and asked us what we wanted to drink. We each had a cocktail and she said she would bring us menus. After waiting a while on the drinks we were then give menus. Our orders were placed and then after a little while she came back to ask us again wwhat we had ordered. Everyone around us that came in after us had their food before us so we were assuming she forgot to put our oder in. Not a huge deal because we weren't starving or in a hurry. By the time our 2nd drinks came out our food was served. My pizza was delicious and my husband liked his Mahi but said it wasn't really worth the pricprice.With all that being said I think after they're open a little longer things will start running smoother. Our food was good and the ambiance was nice with the lighting and murals.

Tonight several family members met up at Lou Lou Food and Drink. This was the first time I have been there. Everyone's meals were wonderful. I forgot to take pictures of them all, before everyone started digging in. I ordered the Crab Cake Entree which was very tasty. I could have used a little more sauce that it came with. The mixed veggies were excellently seasoned. I highly recommend the Lou Chicago. My husband ordered this double deep dish pizza for everyone to share. The pieces were huge so we cut them in half. It was amazing!! My mother-in-law ordered the Jambalaya and said it was the best meal she's had in a long time. My brother-in-law ordered the red beans and rice. I didn't try it but everyone that did said it was excellent.Our server was great. We asked her a little history about the place and she was prepared to answer it. It's a great little restaurant hidden off of Sears Avenue. We will be back!

Such a cute and cozy little space. I remember coming here years ago, but haven't been back until recently and it's still the same great place. Polite staff, knowledgeable, and helpful. Very cozy place where you can be with family and relaxed, or have a more intimate meal. The she-crab soup was delicious, and my friend's pasta seemed amazing. A ton of delicious items to choose from. I will have to return soon!

Arrived at 5 p.m and my friend and I were promptly greeted & seated. We had our drink orders taken and were given the menus to look over. It took us a bit of time to browse through so many delicious options & decide! She ordered the crab cake with grilled vegetables and a Caesar salad. I went with the small wedge salad and a build your own pizza with 1/2 mushrooms and bacon. So good! Our waitress kept our water filled and checked in but didn't impede our catching up and conversation flow which was nice! We both said we need to eat here more often! Wide variety of options to pick from. The dessert menu looked so good but we didn't give in to temptation... this time.

I was in town on a work trip and a few of my colleagues and I decided to meet up for dinner my last night in Louisville. Fun fact: They have two locations, so just know that before you show up at the wrong one, lol. This restaurant is tucked comfortably in a small shopping strip, has a small patio with outdoor seating, a bar area with televisions, and a dining room area. The restaurant was absolutely freezing the day I visited and that tends to impact my ability to eat. While that wasn't something the staff could help me with, they were super friendly. Our waitress was even kind enough to help me charge up my cell phone battery during my meal. While all of that was solid, the food is what missed the mark for me. They are described as a mix of cajun and American food which was easily evident after reviewing the menu. I got a caesar salad, the crab cake appetizer with a side of vegetables as well as an old fashioned cocktail. My drink was alright, but not my favorite. The crab cakes were pretty good but the vegetables were cold and not seasoned well. My salad was huge with your typical caesar ingredients, but also not my favorite. I give this place a solid three stars because in my opinion it was just ok. But go ahead and visit and see for yourself!

Having visited this extremely fine establishment many times, a few reviews already, I had it delivered tonight and was hopeful that the quality wouldn't be lost in transport.I was an idiot for thinking that Lou Lou would ever disappoint me. I received the 10" meat pizza, thinking it would transport best, I was not wrong. It's as if the extremely attractive and friendly staff brought it directly to me.It was actually through Insta-Cart but whatever. Lou Lou gets all of the credit.
