“We went for our first time on Wednesday, and had an awesome experience! I don't remember her name, but we were served by your amazing bartender. She went above and beyond, recommending food, drinks, and obviously enjoyed her job. The food was very good, but she made our date night special, and we'll be back to sit at her bar next time 💚“

The atmosphere is always friendly and old school customer service, the menu and food is awesome and they are over the top supportive of our Vets, active military and first responders. Travis, Melissa and Cameron take care of everyone that walks in the door. They are always “on mission” and it shows.“

“Walked in and immediately smelled smoke, not the good kind. It smelled like an ashtray. We ordered fried green tomatoes and they were pretty decent. Then came the 3 meat platter, We had the chicken, pork and brisket. All the meats were pretty dry and had 0 smoke flavor. It reminded me of that store stuff you microwave. Pork was mid. The brisket was off tasting, more like pot roast. The chicken was the worst, no flavor at all and very dry. The baked beans and mashed potatoes were good. Don't know if it was a bad night or what but probly won't be back.“

“I decided to stop by the restaurant because I could smell the food in the mall. It smells so good. I had to try it. I got the pulled chicken, collard greens, macaroni and cheese and let’s not forget the sweet potatoes. The chicken was moist. The collard greens were seasoned the mac & cheese was Fresh warm and cheesy and oh yeah let’s not forget the sweet potatoes brought me back to how my grandma used to make them on Sunday afternoon after church so I would recommend this restaurant five stars.“

“I love the fresh food at Lou's, and also I love how quickly they got my meal to me. They make their own root beer, and it's delicious!“

“No seating. Attempted to give my order to the wait staff, (who I will note wore impeccable whitetail deer outfits, had me fooled at first), but they ran off and we never saw them again.Naming is a little off, no coconuts in central IL. Like to support the local business so I’ll give them a 5 this time.“

“I been coming here since it opened and it’s excellent ! This place is wonderful and you should try it out you will love it!❤️5Stars everytime thank you“

“The food is always amazing, but tonight the service was top notch. My son loves the mashed potato bowls from KFC and since most KFC’s in the area closed, he’s been missing them. The owner heard my son talking about putting corn on top of his potatoes and how much he likes it. The owner took it upon himself to make sure my son had his own serving of corn and shredded cheese to go with his meal and make his own mashed potato bowl. It was a very thoughtful, kind gesture. My 8 year old walked out of the restaurant extremely happy and stating how nice and kind the man was. Thank you, sir, it truly meant the world to us! You’ve got lifelong customers from us! ❤️“
