Cash or card, quaint friendly little diner off 84 with access to two gas stations as well. seemed to be a one man show. Deli part seems to be closed down. Seating for about 30 people.

Early morning stop to grab a quick scrabbled egg on a roll and coffee. Exceptional breakfast provided with good old fashioned customer service. Thank you for making my morning bright. 10/10/2025 725 am.

We stopped at Lou's Restaurant early in the morning on our way to the airport. We got a friendly welcome and ordered the house speciality 'Eggs Loui' with black coffee and sausages on the side. Everything was freshly prepared and the eggs were absolutely delicious. Great portions as well, I was fully satisfied after the meal.
The place itself is also very nice, it's an old school diner where you felt taken back in time a few years. But absolutely in a good way, I love places like that.
Would definitely be back here, if I am in the area again.

My daughter and I stopped by for a quick breakfast while driving her back to college this morning. I felt like we had stepped back in time! Small, cozy diner that was spotless - including the bathrooms. Food was delicious - just the right amount so you don’t leave feeling overstuffed. Potatoes were PERFECT, and the poached eggs and omelet were delicious! The owner couldn’t have been any nicer, too! We will definitely stop back in next time we’re driving through!

BEWARE!!! Stopped by for a quick visit on a quiet Monday at noon. The place was empty but everything else was closed or too far away. My mom and I were charged $42 for two plates of eggs and ham and one coffee. Do yourslef a favor and skip this place if you dont want to be robbed. The owner should be ashamed of taking advantage of the only 2 customers that have walked in, probably in a year.

This place is a national treasure. It's the comfort food you didn't know you needed. Great food right off I-84.

Stopped early on a Sunday morning. It seemed as if Lou was doing all the work. Regardless, an excellent breakfast served with no noticeable delay. A comfortable spot to start the day!

Gary made great sandwiches, pastrami, chicken salad, grilled cheese. He was fast and kind and we recommend this stop.

Cozy, old school spot for breakfast and lunch. Coffee and breakfast sandwiches were very good (if on the small side). Service was super friendly and fast. Reasonably priced.

First time coming in for a meal got a to go order for breakfast.
Western omlette with cream cheese, home fries and sausage.
Waitress was very polite and personable.
After a few minutes food was ready got the check $25....
I thought it was a joke until I looked at the check on the counter, but whatever I was hungry and did t want to argue., and left a $5 tip so a $30 breakfast.
I literally get this same order from 3 other breakfast places locally it cost 12 sometimes more if I get a drink. Literally double, don't get it.
Get home and I open the container theres no sausage and burnt potatoes! The omlette was eeh ok.
Not at all happy
