Louis Lunch is located in the heart of downtown New Haven. This famous establishment is the birth place of the delicious Hamburger. Lou's Lunch opened it's door's way back in 1898. You should expect a line of hungry burger lover's waiting to bite into one of the most juicy hamburgers around. The friendly hard working staff at Lou's are pushing out burgers as fast as possible.

What a waste of time!! Just because your on the food network doesn't mean its good. Try Contois Tavern 152 Nicoll St, for the BEST Burgers in town.....

Louis Lunch is a terrible tourist trap. The staff is super unfriendly, slow, and just not customer-oriented. The food is flavorless as well. Don't make the mistake to go just for the "atmosphere", because a shabby interior, packed to absolute maximum with tourists, is _not_ a pleasant atmosphere. Charging over 10$ for a simple water, low quality toast with a flavorless patty, and potato goo of undefined origin, this place is a total rip off.

Good burger with a homemade taste, tiny place with a great historic atmosphere. Limited menu - burgers, potato chips, potato salad and pie. NO condiments. A chesse burger does not involve cheese, but cheese spread. Cute brick building, all dark wood inside. If you go during lunch time you can have quite the wait - we waited an hour, but it was fun watching the burgers grill in the old vertical spits.

It it what it is. Historic, small, and not known for a warm welcoming staff however the burger is what a burger should be in its simplest form. The meat had a great taste and was juicy. Potato salad was very good, almost like half egg salad. Being local I go early so there's no crowd.
