Cant get enough of this place. Can be a little warm on hot days, but the inside can be a little cooler. Best patio in the city

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.

Excellent American food. Patty melt was good as was the Calabrian chicken and the BBQ brussel sprouts. Inexpensive. Dinner for two without drinks was $45.

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.

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!

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 :)
