Have driven by this place many times in my life in the Bay area. I was just looking for lunch and then I saw Lou's. I thought why not give it a try. Got a burger and a shake, both were great.

A really honest, old-fashioned diner vibe. Nothing fancy but perfect when you're in the mood for a great burger or chicken & fries. Cool music always playing in the garden and playthings outside for kids. Dog friendly too!

They changed the menu after Aug 2025 and completely removed the bone-in Nashville Hot Chicken. I've been a regular patron here since 2019 when it was still Boxcar Fried Chicken, before they changed name to Lou's. They had the best fried chicken for many miles and this is a huge loss to the community. Unfortunate decision by management and one that I hope they reverse.
The Nashville burger was okay as a standalone item, but nowhere close to a replacement for the bone-in fried chicken experience.
Sad to say, I will patronize a different diner during my regular Sonoma wine tasting trips until they bring the bone-in chicken back.

Great retro 50s/60s burger & shakes place. Very good food at a great value price.
Wow, this was good food. Understated place- you might not realize it at first glance, but do stop here, this is a great great find. Great quality. Thank you.

Good place to bring the grand kids as they can feed goats and then eat some seriously good grub. Wash their hands first, please. Plus 1 for the fried onions burger. Also, The onion rings appear hand cut and battered! Crazy.

LOVE! The damn cutest little lunch spot there ever was and affordable as hell, definitely worth the stop or the trip! I like getting the Chicken Biscuit #1 or #2 for just $6 and so delicious(those prices are unheard of) ,the service is always great and the space is super photogenic, (looks great on the gram!) hella recommend !!!
Good greasy spoon burgers, tots, and onion rings. If you need a nice break from chi-chi eateries (or something to help you absorb the alcohol), this is it.

Grabbed a burger in between wine tasting Appointments. Had the Onion burger. Small patty good but nothing special. Lots of old stuff inside to check out. This was my first visit and would return.

Love little roadside places. We stopped on our way home after a day of wine tasting. Service was excellent & love the decor. They were out of the chicken & biscuits ☹️ but the chicken strip basket & Nutella milkshake was very tasty
