Reviews for Lou's Backyard in Chicago, IL
We ordered 4 salads, elote, and queso & chips. Two of the salads had hair in them. Lost our appetite after that. The salads... didn’t taste good either…very overpriced, and should have been considered side salads as they were not filling and mostlyjust greens. The queso was extremely watery. The server was unapologetic about the issues with the food. Elotes corn was goodthough. Cute ambiance. Read more

I enjoyed Lou's Backyard. I went there with a friend of mine. We ordered wings, loaded waffle fries and a few beers that hit the... spot so perfectly. We also enjoyed the atmosphere and the servers were all friendly. If you are in the area check it out. Read more
Don't let the empty dining room fool you, the bar side is bustling. Lou's had good drinks. Mood was very lively (aka loud). This... clearly is a trendy spot to grab a drink, particularly with those who are under 40 years old. Lighting was dim. Seating optionscould be improved. Be prepared to stand unless you get there early to snag a table or bar spot. Read more
A modern and very Hip diner. The staff is friendly and cool, the type of folks you wouldn't mind hanging out with. Such a... relaxing atmosphere. Great place to come after work to unwind. And the food is delicious! The Seasoned waffle fries are sotasty. The drink list is interesting, I couldn't pass up a drink named Rosemary's Baby's Daddy! Nice! We stayed indoors becauseof the rain clouds looming, but it sounded like there was lots of fun going on outside despite the drizzle. I will definitelyvisit again! Read more
Went here for a private event in the patio area hosted by Jagermeister. This is a cute casual restaurant in the front but has... an awesome bar and Patio in the back with bocce ball. If you're headed to the patio or outdoor yard, enter either through thefront of the restaurant or on the left side of the restaurant, there is a door that will lead you straight into the patio. Youwill walk past live plants that are planted in rows of gutters mounted on the wall. This is so impressive and an awesome ideathat I might want to attempt it in my house. When you step into the bar area you are greeted by a long bar that is fullystocked with many options . The patio area is awesome, bright, airy, and fun. Lots of tables and even some stadium seating sothat you can watch your friends while they play bocce ball. A perfect place to meet friends for a drink or for brunch. We hadpulled pork, macaroni and cheese, corn that was grilled on the barbecue and some homemade biscuits that tastedout-of-this-world! Can't wait to come back for brunch or lunch! Read more
Drinks were strong and food was great. However, the service was poor. I went here for a company mixer and the staff was rude.... The woman who walked around taking drink orders basically just wanted to get the job done and the bartender was just rude. Read more
