+1 Go Badgers!

Also, everything is improved at Lou’s and the management is a great bunch. If you don’t like the bar, you can always not go. Lots of haterade in the comment section.

Yeah, Roast Pork w Sharp Provolone and Broccoli Rabe at Tony Luc’s is great, but the new chef at Lou’s has an Italian name do give him a chance!

Pretty bummed to see the south philly roast pork sandwich on the menu. It’s always been one of my favorites when I’m home and I can’t imagine how bad Lou’s is going to mess that up. I’ve given this place many chances based on the convenience of the location. It’s a great place to watch games, the beer’s fine, the service is pretty horrible, and I thought the food wasn’t great. I would rather see them master the basics, like chicken tenders or wraps before they dive into this new menu. We’ll see.

I don’t see those tacos on the menu. Maybe they were a special or didn’t make the final cut.

I went there yesterday with a group of 6 people to watch the Wisconsin game. In fact, I went there all last year as Lou’s is a Badger Bar.

We had a great time. The food was good and it came out much quicker than last year. Another party was at the tap table but the bartender said they are getting more in a couple weeks. People tried various food items but the BBQ mac & cheese was my new favorite. Also, I tried the fish & chips which was excellent.

Overall, the vibe was good (we won the game!) and everyone noticed improvemts over last year.

I agree with most of the comments about Lou’s-the service is awful. I went in there once ordered a beer. They did not screw that up-so I ordered a french dip with no horseradish. After 45 minutes, I asked the bartender if they were killing the calf out back? It was dead in there-maybe all the patrons were out back watching them make the french dip? The bartender goes to the window-and another server tells him-”oh yea, that’s been sitting there for the past half hour” Awesome. So, to their credit they re-order it. He brings out another promptly, but it had horseradish on it and was soggy. I laughed-and the bartender asked what was funny. I told him I was laughing at how horrible Lou’s was-and that I even read all of the horrible reviews on Yelp and still tried it. Again, to their credit-they comped the meal and bought me another beer. I realized the three best things Lou’s has going for it: (1) plenty of TV’s and (2) nice plants out front that never need water and never lose their color, and (3) it’s pretty hard for them to screw up beer orders.

No really, these bars have reached a whole new level of pretentiousness, heretofore referred to as self-portentous. Or SePo if you prefer.

And I’m typing this while twirling my moustache!
