| - Like a lot of other reviewers, I found myself here on a Tuesday night after 5pm for the slammin' $5 specialty burgers deal. Unlike most others (probably), I found out about the deal at approximately 4:45pm and immediately convinced my roommate that we needed to go that night.
Upon walking up to Bar Louie, we found a rambunctious crowd, with pretty much all of the patio seats--on both sides--full, despite it being a chilly December evening. That's how hoppin' it was. We walked inside and were pretty confused due to the lack of hostess stand or any nearby workers. We caught a waitress walking by, and confirmed that the entire place was open seating. Totally fine, just would've preferred that it was somehow made clear. We lucked out and found a couple seats at the bar immediately, where the specials were explained to us and drink orders taken right away.
We both opted for the burger special, because how can you pass up a regularly $11-12 burger for $5?! (Ya can't). I went with the Bulleit burger, cooked medium and with a side of fries, and she went with the Southwest burger. The burgers took a little while to come out, but that was to be expected with how busy they were that night. My burger was really great, but to be honest, I pretty immediately scraped the cream cheese block off of it--I was iffy about it in the description to begin with, but into the rest of the burger enough to try it out. I just thought the inclusion of cream cheese was a super weird call, considering the rest of the toppings were: bacon, crispy onions, and a bbq-like bourbon sauce. But like I said, after the lil cream cheese issue, it was a great burger. That being said, I'm not sure I would have liked it as much had I paid the full $12 price tag (I'm real cheap). The fries were also top notch, and I'm pretty picky about my fries. But it came with approximately a dozen and a half, and everyone always needs more than 18 fries.
Our service was good because we were at the bar, but it looked like some others at tables and booths were having some issues getting staff members' attention and such.
Overall, I'd say it was a decent experience. The food was good, I just always want more french fries. The environment was a little overwhelming, it was pretty damn noisy in there, and super crowded for a Tuesday night--assuming this was due to the special. I'll probably give Bar Louie another try. Probably on a Tuesday.
