The Original Louis Drive in Restaurant has a mix of reviews but continues to be a beloved spot for many. Some customers praise the delicious salad, homemade ranch, and tasty ravioli, while others have had issues with the lasagna and garlic bread. Despite some shortcomings, many have been loyal customers for years. The restaurant's cleanliness has improved, and many have enjoyed hot burgers and good service. Post-Covid, the restaurant seems to be thriving, serving superb dishes like Chicken Kabob and Chicken Parmesan.
First-time visitors have enjoyed meals such as manicotti, appreciating the meat sauce and cheesiness, though some found the portion size a bit pricey. While garlic bread has received mixed reviews, with some noting it lacks garlic flavor, others highlight the tasty marinara sauce with meatballs as wonderful. The atmosphere has had some complaints regarding an unappealing smell, but loyal visitors still consider Louis a landmark and a must-visit destination in Knoxville. Customers often mention the fantastic red sauce and recommend dishes like baked spaghetti, lasagna, and chicken/veal parm. Overall, Louis' is worth a try for those looking for a satisfying meal and attentive service in a casual setting.
