Late To The Game. Louie's at LSU selling?

Saw a Facebook post from Sharon Patrick-Wetherford saying that it was strange that an eclipse was occuring on the same day that the 'sale of Louie's' was closing. A thousand pardons if this has been covered, but my world stopped for a minute...

They should just turn into a hookah lounge.

My parents took to me to Louie's as a child all the time. In high school and later in college my friends and I had some great times going there for late night. I started bringing my own kids there about a decade ago. Meal quality was starting to be hit or miss around that time, depending on who was working but when Frenchie retired it really seemed to go down hill fast. I kept giving it a try every few months, then just a few times a year and it was just worse service, poorly prepared meals and more expensive it seems each time. At this point if it sold I'd be sad if it became something else, but if its being sold to someone that want to restore it to its former level of service...I welcome it.

I go to Louie’s a couple of times a year. Never saw it as anything other than an average local diner and never subscribed to the popularity of it. But I’d hate to see them close and BR to lose a local place, so I hope this is a sale that will mean a new owner will keep it going.

I just ate there yesterday morning.

It cost my daughter and me over $50 for breakfast. That's outrageous.
Our ticket was $42 for a waffle, side of bacon, Omelette, and 2 Cokes. Left the waiter a $10 tip.

19-22 year old me tore up some Louie's at 11pm-2am... 40+ yr old me doesn't want the heartburn or the hangovers associated with wanting it.

When they started charging $18 for a Mitchell several years ago we quit going. Lot’s of good memories of going to the old one after leaving Murphy’s. Best hash browns.

Nothing will ever beat the old Louie's back when Louie ran it on Chimes Street. I cannot remember how many stools there were but it was not many. Louie cooked the best breakfasts and lunches. A smash burger with chopped onions, hand cut Cheddar cheese, pickles, mayo, and mustard. Fries were fresh cut just before going into the grease. The joint closed early afternoon.

The Mitchell now is $13. Just FYI.

Yeah, Frenchy tossing those taters, onions and peppers on that griddle was mesmerizing while intoxicated. Good times.

It was around 10:30. The Louisiana Coke drinking law of 1890 clearly states a 10:00 cutoff.

Driving through and had ESPN radio on and there was a commercial for Louie’s. Did I hear correctly that the hours are 6:30am-2:30 pm?
