| - We were looking for something different after a quick stop off at Chandler Mall and found this place. Despite being tempted by the Spicy Pickle next door, we went ahead with Lucky Lou's. The place wasn't very crowded and the waitress told us to sear ourselves and she quickly brought menus and got our drinks. They had Coke instead of Pepsi, so I was happy.
We started with this cajun shrimp app. It was basically jambalaya without the rice. It came with some toasted bread and was really amazing. I would have rather just had jambalaya but this was a good starter. I would order it again in a heartbeat. It was about $12 though, which seems high for an app but it had about 8 very large shrimp in it so I guess I feel like I got my money's worth.
Then I had a burger that was actually topped with pulled pork and cheese. This was one of the stranger things on the menu so I had to try it. The burger, by itself, wasn't very good. It was cooked more medium-well than medium and was pretty flavorless. The pork, however, was excellent. There wasn't nearly enough bbq sauce to make the whole thing work though.
This place has quite a menu. Full of sandwiches, burgers, salads, and a few random Louisiana-style meals. There seems to be something for everyone here but I feel like you may need to micromanage the preparation of the meals. Everything is just ALMOST there. If they had added rice to the app it would be been perfect. If they had spiced up the burger, it would have been perfect. I just feel like they are almost there. I might go back, but I think I'll try the pickle place before I go here again.
