The 26 Essential Louisville Restaurants

"Owner Jared Matthews calls Lou Lou Italian/Cajun with a Mediterranean twist. A Southerner through and through, Matthews was born in Louisiana and spent some time in Alabama before moving to Kentucky, so his love for Cajun food runs deep. His menu ranges across crawfish etouffee, jambalaya, pasta carbonara, and a classic gyro, plus an extensive wine and cocktail list. Restaurant regulars will recommend ordering the Lou Chicago, a Chicago-style, double deep dish pizza loaded with cheese and three toppings of your choice." - Lennie Omalza

Ordered take-out/pick-up. There were a few at the bar. It was close to closing time Quiet atmosphere inside. Friendly staff. Food was ready on time. Ordered a deep dish pizza. Sauce is a bit tangier than I like but it was still a good pizza. Fresh, hot, made exactly as ordered. Crust was crispy.

This place is a classic case of Kentuckians supporting the most bland safe food you can think of. The only thing Cajun/Louisiana about this place is the decor and naming of the dish. This place is for people who have never tried Cajun food. We ordered the Chicago deep dish with meatballs, mushrooms and feta. We go expecting to wait 30 minutes for this too cook. Waiter even says it takes a long time. So we order an app and the Cajun sampler(gumbo, jambalaya and etoufee). The pizza came out in less than 15 minutes. We weren't even at the restaurant 30min and mind you it took about 10min for the waiter to even come over and great us and take our order. This deep dish isn't deep, has almost no toppings. You can eat it with your hands the crust is hard and has weird burned taste to it. Cannot recommend this dish at all. Save your $30+ and buy dominos. The sampler of gumbo, jambalaya and etoufee is just a disgrace. It's 3 weird soups that come out with a big side of brown rice. They taste alright. Chef clearly is scared of salt and spicy and doesn't know how to make a roux. Have they ever gone to Louisiana? Let's go next Mardi Gras. Lol my family will show you all around the amazing spots. Aside from that the service was mehh. We waited a long time just to see a waiter. He had a very large group. We really needed a different waiter that wasn't so overloaded. If you are looking for a place that sacrifices authenticity of the culture they're supposedly inspired by and love unsalted slop then this place is for you.

The food here was pretty good, the service was great, but the atmosphere was only ok. We had the Spinach and Tomato Lavash appetizer and the Hot Brown pizza. The Lavash was ok and the pizza was very good. The decor was an eclectic attempt at Mardi Gras.

One of the best places around to get pretty tasty cajun and italian food. Definitely recommend their desserts. I don't think I've ever ate a better banana pudding, and the crem brulee is rich and smokey. 100% recommend

We came in from out of town and decided to have dinner and wanted to try the Hot Brown so we found this restaurant. It did not disappoint. But we also had the Crab Cakes (excellent), Gumbo (excellent) , Jambalaya (excellent), cheese pizza (My son said it is one of the best he’s ever had), banana pudding (excellent), She Crab Soup (very good) and the shrimp and grits (phenomenal). Literally everything this restaurant makes is top tier. I haven’t had food this good in a long time. Thanks for the great experience!!

Hot Brown was AMAZING, along with the service. I would highly recommend this place for food. The atmosphere was very casual and prices were reasonable.

So a few things that piss me off more than anything when dining out. No one at the door. extremeley slow wait staff. loud overbearing music. crowded stuffed in seating and the worst getting appetizers sald/soup and entree all in about three minutes apart. I'm glad to say none of this happened at LouLou. first time customer not really a huge fan of cajun but son wanted to try. We were promptly greeted and seated. Waitress gave a few minutes got waters and drinks quickly. Ordered crab cakes for appetizers came out hot and fresh were really tatsy. timing was great we got salads spaced out enough. main course for me was Jambalaya just enough heat to make tasty but not enought to burn all the way down A+. Wifes short rib was really good as well. Son had the Gumbo and again was very good. The atmoshere was also very good music not loud enough to be heard across the street and the dining room was speaced out and well laid out.Waitress was attentive, not overbearing or in a lot of cases non existent she was really good. Me and my wife judge restaurants on if we would return or not and LouLou is a definite yes. I'm not sure about how "authentic" their cajun food is but what i had was tasty hot fesh and portioned well. Downsides. the menu could use a little more variety. i dont understand pizza on a cajun menu some more beef ,chickenor seafood options would be nice.

We had lunch there. The place was really clean. It got crowded quick, this is the kind of place where you need to visit more than one time so that you can try a lot on the menu there were three of us we had the lasagna, pizza, and hot brown. The person Who had the hot brown said it was one of the best she’s ever had. The lasagna was good and the pizza was good. We will definitely be back. Our waiter was super. It was a great experience.
