Louie’s Cafe has been holdin’ it down at the North Gates of LSU longer than most of us have been alive.
This place is where students, parents, and sports fans all come together over some top-tier breakfast and diner grub, no matter how rough last night was.
Doors open at 6:30 AM, and they keep the good food rollin’ ‘til 2:30 PM, seven days a week. So whether you’re crawlin’ in for a cure for your hangover or just need a solid meal that won’t let you down, Louie’s has got you covered.
Louie’s menu has all the classics—biscuits and gravy, omelets, burgers, pancakes—but I’m here for the Cajun Hash Browns.
Crispy, golden potatoes griddled with onions and Cajun seasoning for a bold kick. Then comes the customization: Colby, Swiss, or Monterey Jack cheese (or all three if you’re feeling wild), plus a lineup of toppings straight out of a Waffle House-Fais do-do mashup—mushrooms, peppers, tomatoes, jalapeños, bacon, ham, sausage, chili, and more.
My move? Colby cheese, bell peppers, bacon, and sour cream. Melty, smoky, crunchy, creamy—perfection on a plate.
And at $15? In this economy, that’s a steal.
So yeah, if you’re anywhere near Louie’s and you don’t stop in for this, I don’t know what to tell you. Except that you’re making objectively poor choices in life.
Louie’s Café isn’t just a restaurant, it’s a part of LSU history. If you haven’t been to Louie’s yet, bless your heart—get on over there and fix that.
