    First time diner. The menu offers plenty of options. We started with the dry rubbed wings with the French Quarter sauce and bleu cheese dressing on the side. They were so good, we were tempted to order more. We opted for the she crab soup. It wasn’t too heavy and had generous portions of crab in every bite. At that point, we weren’t terribly hungry, so we tried the Lavash with blackened shrimp. The flavors melded together beautifully, immediately making it and the wings must-order items when we return. We finished with the bread pudding. Sweet and savory flavors were the perfect finish to our visit. Needless to say, we will return to try some of the other menu items. I’ve already made plans to dine again with a group of friends. Great overall experience.

    Great food and service. We had the oysters, crab cakes & boudin balls for appetizers. All were great. The favorite entrees ordered was the seafood linguine and chicken carbonara. Don’t skip the desserts. The bread pudding & bananas foster cheesecake.

    We had a great New Year’s Eve dining experience. Very glad Lou Lou opened in Middletown. Shrimp and grits are excellent. Everything met our expectations.

    Excellent service and food, especially the Boudin Balls and Bread Pudding, which were spectacular! The place was very clean and well kept and the noise level was reasonable. One minor quibble was the view of the strip mall signage across the parking lot. Perhaps some pull-down shades would fix the problem.

    Our party of three was excited to try Lou Lou after reading the reviews; however, we were sadly disappointed. Service was mediocre, food was the same and the acoustics were terrible. There were not many diners during our lunch time visit but it was still incredibly loud. We left feeling disappointed and are not inclined to return.
