Reviews for Louie's Lunch in Ithaca, NY
I've been going here for almost 4 and a half years now, and the most bizarre thing happened tonight. A whole hour before they... were supposed to close, according to even the handwritten "temporary hours" posted on the window, the guy closes the window onme with a closed sign. When I asked to make sure they were actually closed and it wasn't some kind of mistake, he said nothingand just stared at me like I was insane. Then he turned off the lights, aggressively got out of the truck, stared at me somemore, and started loudly rattling the tip jar at me - *all without saying a single word*. It was an insane experience, and it'ssafe to say I'll never come back and I'll recommend that people avoid the truck altogether if they think that's an acceptableway to treat anybody. I can get greasy junk food at plenty of other places. I don't know who they're hiring nowadays, but it'sdefinitely multiple steps down from even just a couple years ago. Read more
It's value for money and they have really good shakes and fries
Wife and I have been doordashing for the past 4 months every time we are in the area we always see this random red food truck on... the side of Thurston Avenue. The other night we both got the double cheeseburger with the fried egg and a side of cheese friesand we shared that just recently tonight we got some more great food from them. it is nice to know there is a local smallbusiness who are taking care of people like us who have to work late night hours. You guys rock keep up the good work yourprices are amazing and will always going to look forward to the next visit. Read more
An iconic place. The food isn't the best, but it's good stereotypical American food, reasonably priced. You have to wait a while... usually just because there are so many people on line. The Cuban fries are a good shareable, the Bo burger is good. I give it 5stars because the vibe is great, and the customer service is good, and because the menu is huge. In fact, there are some fooditems not on the menu... Read more
The staff hours and prices are all really fantastic. I like the eggplant parm sub. I personally would pass on the salad but I... don?t understand why I got a salad anyways. It?s a super convenient place to get food and with the broad menu there will alwaysbe something for you to eat. Read more
Scenario: You're up at midnight, trying desperately to finish off that essay due the next morning - only to get an email... reminding you that ANOTHER essay is due tomorrow that you haven't even started yet! Where else do you turn for energy throughthe night, but Louie's Lunch? Open until the wee hours of the morning, my freshman and sophomore years are filled with fondmemories of Louie's Lunch late-night meals. It's hot food and a wide menu, at a price that not even McDonald's can beat. It's anessential college food experience that I'd recommend swinging by. Read more
Best night food stop for me! Louie's is always run by the nicest staff! I love repeating the same order of the Cajun fries,... garlic bread or sometimes the pizza sub! Milkshakes are usually on point too! Read more
Every time I go here and pay with cash they get change incorrect (interestingly, they always short change me). Food takes a... while to make too. Don't come here if you want a quick fix. If there are more than 5 people ahead of you waiting to order,forget it--you'll be waiting 30min-1 hour until you get your food. Food is alright. Typical greasy food. Read more
