Located in a new strip center just across the 96th street bridge in Jenks, Louie's latest location seems to be fluorishing. The decor is "sports bar" with several large TV screens placed throughout for easy viewing. And, yes, this too is "one of our favorites."
They offer a fairly broad menu with nothing over $9.95! Our favorites include the grilled tilapia, prepared either as lemon-pepper or blackened. It's a generous portion served with two sides. If you choose the fried green beans as your side (a GREAT choice!) it comes with a southwest chipotle ranch dressing which, I have discovered, tastes good on the tilapia!
Another favorite of mine is the 3-cheese macaroni bake. Talk about your comfort food! This is a scrumptious adult version of the childhood favorite. The macaroni is served in a casserole with sliced chicken and bits of bell peppers baked inside, topped with toasted garlic bread crumbs, applewood bacon bits and shredded parmesan.
Their pizza is surprisingly good, my personal favorite being the ultimate veggie version.
The first time we visited Louies, at the 101st street location I was pretty unimpressed because I ordered a cheeseburger. Louie's burgers are pretty ordinary. This is surprising because their other offerings are really top noch. I'm ready to go to Louies just about any time, much more often than Phoebe is.

Rib Crib - 81st & Yale
While Rib Crib is a franchise, it's one of our home-grown ones, having started in one location here . . . a location that is still operating pretty much the way they started. We usually go to the one at 81st & Yale, and, like a lot of other places, it's one of our favorites.
I really like Barbecue. Thank God, to have been blessed with a spouse who shares that gastronomic predillection, else we would doubtless have had more strife in our domicile. Rib Crib's sauce is sweet and smoky. I like sauce and the more the better. I really pour it on. Generally I get their chicken, but occasionally the brisket. I am not fond of ribs, but Phoebe is and speaks highly of them. Their barbecue never dissapoints. Moist, tender and flavorful.
They also offer some nice salads, wraps, sandwiches, soup and chili. They used to serve a corn potato chowder but discontinued it for some reason. I thought it was a great meal and ordered it frequently while it lasted.
Our wonderful grandson, Harrison, likes the chicken, green beans, potato salad and the fruit cup (mandarin oranges). Good food, good prices, a comfortable environment and a local success story. That's a winning combination!
Ciao!
