I enjoyed a great time here with my family but also is perfect for friends. We only took the dinner but arcade looks funny.
Texas sandwich is delicious and fries are crunchy .
You can stay in the patio too and enjoy the summer weather
Walked in. Server/bartender was uninterested. Wouldn't make me a Pina colada. Got a margarita instead. Basically lemon juice. Brutal. Food was lousy. Will never go back

The staff is great, beer sizes are great, but I'm lazy and it has too many stairs. 🤣
It's a historical place with generations of clients over the years.Enjoy

The worst restaurant i have ever been. I ordered a lou’s cheeseburger and my mother had a steak sandwich.
The taste of the meat of the burger was awful like a frozen fatty meat that you can’t even smell. About the steak sandwich, let’s not call a steak sandwich. It was literally the oddest sandwich yiu can find. A piece of meat on a toast and that’s all!!
The other surprising part of the story is that the staff there was quite rude. As we told her about how terrible our foods are, she behaved so badly like oh wow you are the first one saying that.
I would never suggest this place to anyone.

Great vibe, very welcoming! Almost left without trying the wings.. would have been a shame because they are amazing. Dill pickle dry rub was a crispy, yet still juice, flavor bomb wing

Affordable and ok food but the only server was overworked. Food wasn't what we expected (Greek salad was iceberg lettuce with olives and some feta and red onions, with a salad dressing on the side?) but was fine given the price point. Shockingly quiet for 5pm on a Sunday outside a college.

I've never been compelled to write a bad review, and I've never been compelled to leave zero tip. I don't expect the most amazing service any time I go out to eat or drink, but this was aggressively bad. We walked in, the waitresses looked at us, said hi and walked away. There was already kind of a weird vibe here, but we assumed this meant we should seat ourselves since they didnt tell us to hold on a second, or anything like that. We sat down, and never had anyone come over to us. I finally went and ordered drinks from the bar and apologized for seating ourselves. We got our drinks, but then had to track down a server to order another round and get menus. Honestly, so far it's fine... not the best service, but it's ok. Our waitress came back at some point, seemed to be rushing us to order and kinda angry for some reason. We apologized and said we were waiting for another person before ordering. She walked off.
After we finally ordered food we had a different waitress come over and give us nachos. It seemed to everyone at the table that the nachos were an appetizer that they serve everyone on the house. When our waitress came back finally she chewed us out and asked who ordered the nachos and why we were eating them? We explained that we assumed that they came with our meal and she left angrily. We never heard whether or not we were supposed to eat them. We still assumed it was on the house but she never came over and apologized or explained what happened.
The owner (or manager) came over to check our IDs after we ordered our first set of drinks and he seems really nice. The waitress that wasn't our main one, who brought the nachos, seemed nice. But the one we had just seemed angry at us the whole time. Not a good experience which is unfortunate. I'd been looking forward to going here for quite a while, it's such a cool looking restaurant. I don't plan on returning though.

Charlie sound guy alway checking in making convo keeping the bar clean would 100% recommend
Surly bartentender too busy to take food orders or connect with customers. I’m not super picky but after sitting there with an empty drink and still waiting to submit a food order, I picked up and left.
Was welcomed with a smile. Played some pool and had excellent service -- Charlie was , hilarious and great with his service. Will definitely come back to have some late night drinks and free pool ! Hosted by a wonderful bar keep.
Charlie was incredibly attentive, excellent bar tender. Made me feel very welcomed
Five Stars Isn’t Enough for Charlie – The Best Bartender in Western Canada!
As the late-night manager, Charlie runs the show with style and ease no question about it. If you’re lucky enough to find yourself at Loco Lous while Charlie is working, prepare yourself for one of the most unforgettable nights of your life. Charlie doesn’t just pour drinks—he pours joy, laughter, and good vibes into every moment.
From the second we walked in, Charlie made us feel like old friends. His quick wit had us laughing all night, and his warm smile made the entire experience feel like a celebration. He has that rare gift of reading the room and knowing exactly how to elevate the energy. Whether you’re looking for a chill evening or a wild night out, Charlie makes it happen with effortless charm.
We came for the drinks, but we stayed for Charlie—and we’ll definitely be back for more. Loco Lou’s is lucky to have him, and so were we.
