Louis' Lunch - New Haven

Trust them to the hype! they simply realize that they get a well prepared simple burger from a historical location with antique ovens. As long as their expectations are properly defined, they will enjoy it. they do not expect a ridiculous burger with a budding extravagant thing.

Not speak. this is the original burger place! if they are a burger lover, this is one must be on their Bucket list! smaller place, but it has been down the road in the 70s since 1900 with a small way. the burgers were fantastic! they come mid rare, but we ordered them medium heavy and they were delicious and very tasteful! they come on sandwichbrot like the original. I'm not a big potato salad type, but my wife said it was really good! it is very interesting to see them cook in the cast iron gas stoves! small place, small menu, but large space in the American food history! definitely worth visiting!

I thought honestly, this place would be a stubborn, tourist fall, or at best a shadow of his former self, or a reliquie of some bygone ära. the interieur is charming, dated (good), and the seating are some of the most unique I have ever seen with straightening and personal graffiti. as for the burgers, you're gonna get dead, you're gonna be silly, and you're gonna get two pieces of bread. the taste? solid! always prepared medium rare, although it looked a bit on the rarer side. I could see that I had a handful of it, but at that time for one.

Can I get a hamburger on white toast? this is essentially what they get for $9. it was a decent burger with a good taste. what they really pay is the opportunity to taste the prestige that is louis' lunch. Founded in the 1800s and possibly the genesis of the American hamburger, this place has a great historical feeling for it. I like to see the burgers cooked on a century old kocher. friendly staff and a pleasant temperature.

Great experience, great burger, still affordable, and is a cornerstone of the New Haven experience. Well worth your time and money. A note that the burger is cooked Medium Rare, so if you're not one for a medium rare burger, make sure to let them know.
