Lou's Diner

"Awesome food, service and atmosphere! Tiffany was our waitress and did an exceptional job. Very pleased with our stop there. We were 300 miles into our 600 mile trip, from central MO, and decided to try it. Glad we did and will be stopping again on our way back home. Highly recommended!!!"

"It's your typical small town diner. The food is amazing, the service is decent, and the prices are CHEAP! The B&G are amazing and the BLT is loaded with bacon. Keep in mind, it's a diner in a very small town. The clientele reflect that. The painted sign outside the door doesn't even have proper grammar. So the food is amazing but the atmosphere could be off for certain people"

"The food was absolutely delicious, and service was on point. My son ordered the 4 piece fried chicken platter and enjoyed it. A delicious crispy exterior and the meat were perfectly cooked and juicy. The fries were perfectly cooked. Unfortunately, the mac n cheese tasted good, but the shredded cheese created an odd taste that wasn't very appetizing. What a plate of biscuits and gravy. There was so much delicious food that was piled high on the plate. The sausage gravy was very flavorful, and the biscuits were soft and buttery. The corned beef hash had a crispy exterior and a soft, meaty, and very flavorful interior. The pancakes were big, fluffy, and flavorful."

"Great place to stop for a bite to eat. We had breakfast and it was very fresh, good and affordable. Service was top notch. Bought a piece of peanut butter pie to go, left it there and the waitress literally chased us down at our car to make sure we got it. 5 stars"

"First things first, you're going to be eating at a small town diner, so don't expect to be greated at the door or call ahead for reservations. Seemed like all the locals were there when we got there. The atmosphere wasn't bad, as long as you have the right mindset. The staff was great and very kind. The food was not the best I've ever had, but I know what to expect going into small town establishments. My husband got the Coney dogs with the onion rings (and of course were camping tonight, wish me luck) and I got the battered chicken sandwich with fries. The batter was done in house as was the sauce for the onion rings. It was good, id give it a 7 out of 10. The fries were plain ole' fries, nothing special. The chicken sandwich made me feel like I should have been timed to eat it and if I finished I would have had it comped from the bill it was so large. Everything could have used a dash of seasoning but the locals might prefer the light seasoning, as most of them were on the lighter side of the skin tone spectrum and we all can assume how they like there food seasoned... Honestly, it wasn't that bad. The prices were good. We're roadtrippers and have had worse food. Side note of you're gluten free, not the place for you."

"This place is so comforting and laid back. Our waitress was so friendly; I would 100% adopt her. My husband got thr Mushroom and Swiss burger and onion rings; 8/10 (he felt it needed a little season) and he loved the onion rings. I got the Breaded Tenderloin with everything and Breaded Mushrooms; 10/10. My Tenderloin was HUGE and not wounded out and thin; it was at least 3/4 inch thick throughout, super tender, and delicious! The Breaded Mushrooms were so tasty. The best thing though? The people! The staff (including the owner, who rang us up when we left) were so friendly and treated us like we were old friends. We will definitely be back!"

"Stopped in while on a road trip after seeing the reviews, was definitely worth it! Classic American home style cooking with very large portions and very reasonable price! The fried mushrooms are a must as they are so crispy and juicy, shareable among many. Taco salad was HUGE and had crunch and felt super fresh. Diner food isn't my favorite because of the grease, but as diner food, everything was spectacular."
