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.

- Long-time Tulsans, we really love this town and we frequently eat out. We're not gourmets but enjoy good food and good service. In addition to our comments on restaurants, we will remember a few which are no longer with us such as Pennington's, the Nine of Cups, The Middle Path, and so forth. Local restaurants are preferred to chain or corporate restaurants. We'll comment on burger joints as well as the "upscale" places. We might even report on our worst experiences in restaurants at places now, thankfully, expectedly closed. We'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions.
