About Louis' Lunch

Louis' Lunch is an iconic spot in New Haven, celebrated for its great burgers and historic, cute, tiny interior. The atmosphere is unique, although the space can feel cramped as lines form quickly, especially at noon. The cheeseburgers are a must-try, served on white toast and only offered medium rare, with additions like cheese, tomato, and onion. Tasty homemade potato salad is available as a side, which has been noted as surprisingly good. Many customers appreciate the quality food and quick service, while the staff is known for their quick and witty jokes. It is important to know how to order and be prepared for a wait, but for those who respect the establishment's unique way of doing things, a visit to this legendary place is definitely worth the hype for anyone craving a good burger experience.

The best hamburger I've ever had in my life. 10/10. Try the potato salad too!

Went there today for the first time after seeing it on the food channel. You walk in it’s a small place, but it has a lot of history. The gentleman and lady behind the counter super friendly very inviting you to their establishment. We ordered cheeseburgers with tomatoes and they were delicious!!!! My son and my cousin both enjoy themselves as did I. Bought a T-shirt.(to represent.) and will be definitely going back. So if you’re in New Haven, don’t hesitate to stop at LOUIS...read full review

I took my family to Louis Lunch this afternoon. It was well worth the trip!
For this place to not serve ketchup means they rely on the flavor of the burger. And I must say “mission accomplished”.
