My boyfriend and I love this place. We live in Los Angeles and both times we have gone to San Diego we went here. The steaks and fresh seafood are amazing. We had the oysters and shrimp cocktail for an appetizer and they are some of the best I have ever tasted. Steaks and scalloped potatoes for our entree were a devine choice. The only sad thing is that we don't live in San Diego to get to enjoy this place more often.

Went to Lou and Mickeys for lunch today... wanted to eat inside, and was seated in the bar because the restaurant was "full" (although we could see what looked like 100 empty seats - I translated it into "we didn't staff for inside eating today"). Ordered the Garlic Meatloaf Sandwich, and my partner ordered a cheeseburger. Both were large sandwiches, with large piles of french fries. My meatloaf had but one taste: Garlic. So it was appropriately named. It also had the consistency of Alpo. I prefer my meatloaf a lot less mushy... actually firm, in fact. So that was a major turnoff to me. And then the fries.. they were those little skinny fries, slightly overdone, slightly cold. Sort of like those ones that come in the can at the grocery store. If you like those, you'll like Lou and Mickeys. I didn't - I really prefer hot steak fries, the total opposite end of the french fry spectrum. My friend's burger looked better, but she deserted all her fries as well. Lunch for 2, no alcohol, $35 with tip.
Pros: nice interior, decent service, large lunch menu
Cons: lacking food taste and quality (to my liking)
