Visiting from Kent WA. This spot was hella good. Unironically, they cooked my steak medium rare Chicago style, perfectly. I forgot they did this out here, as I'm used to asking for my steaks to be cooked Chicago style at other places. I want another one. They made a skirt steak taste better than most places ribeye.

We come here 2-3x per month, best diner ever. Service is great, food is extremely quick and DELICIOUS. Huge hit for the whole family, doesn’t get much better in terms of neighborhood staples. Thank you Louie’s for the delicious food and great family memories!!

My family and I normally dine here, but I brought my mom and sister here when they flew in from out of town and the food was just as amazing! The prices and quality of the food always matches, no complaints at all. Very happy to have a goto breakfast spot!

I have been going to Louie's for years. This is my go-to spot for breakfast whenever I eat out. I rant and rave about Louie's and show support by bringing new and repeated guests there with every visit. However,today makes the 3rd occasion where I appeared delusional to my guest because service was not good at all. These 3 visits involved the same waitress. Her name was Michelle. I try to avoid her table whenever possible. However sometimes her tables are the only ones available. After seating, we have to wait for eternity for her to greet us and take beverage orders. She NEVER smiles and is not welcoming. She gets snippy when she has to take a customized food order. My pet peeve: She is ALWAYS holding up the counter (idly leaning) when she should be taking our order or checking on us. Today was no different. My new guest was not impressed with Louie's Grill. (Ruined experience) I still defend Louie's is a great place. I love the oldies music. My food is always prepared the way I like. The rest of the staff including the cooks are top notch and all are customer service minded naturally. PLEASE train Michelle to join this customer service bandwagon set forth by the rest of the staff. Until then, if her table is the only spot available, we will dine elsewhere for that day.

What a cute little diner!Place is a cute lil diner on the corner and it radiates those family vibes. Waitress's are mainly older women so it feels like your aunt or mom is taking care of you.They're super friendly and I was served quickly at the bar. I ordered 2 eggs over easy, sausage, hash browns, and white toast.Everything was cooked to exactly what I wanted and was all delicious!Since I came near closing they were starting to clean up about halfway through my meal. It was nice to see how thorough they were being cleaning behind every nook and cranny and places most people would probably be lazy about.They're old school and you get your total on the order slip and you take it to the cashier. Make sure you have cash on you for tip or I believe you can ask them to add it on when they ring you up.

I ordered a big meal (greek omlete with feta cheese, grits, and it came with 1 raisin Cinnamon French toast) and it was less than $18. My mouth was watering. It has a classic movie look inside. The service was amazing. It gets packed in their but I saw why. I haven't had breakfast like that in so long. And the wait time for food was not long at all. They have over 4 stars and over 1,000 reviews for a reason.

Fire pancakes pretty decent for something to satisfy your appetite. Friendly service, clean & old fashioned.

I know diner food isn’t expected to be amazing, but my order was really disappointing. I ordered French toast with scrambled eggs and bacon. Nothing was good. The French toast slices looked and tasted like just regular buttered toast before the syrup—I didn’t taste a hint of cinnamon or nutmeg. They used white bread, so it was chewy. The eggs looked and tasted like dry crumbles. The bacon slices were thin and sorry looking. A child could have prepared that. The host and my server were both very kind though. The only thing I enjoyed was the cracker and jam samples. Smh.
