Lunch was OK, but I've had better
3 Star Rating: Average

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)

Editor's Review

Upscale surf and turf served indoors or on the patio with a tantalizing choice of exotic drinks and fine wines.  See the full editorial review.
