Definitely recommend Louie’s, it’s A Gem ? restaurant on the east side of Milwaukee. If you’re in the area, check them out. You won’t be disappointed, I promise. Birria Sandwich is delicious and flavorful. On a scale 0-10, I’ll just say Everything on the menu is 10/10. Very friendly environment. I can’t wait wait to come back.

Came here yesterday, literally the only place we found to eat that was opened late. While me & 2 friends were hungry.I got the Louie Crazy Burger, it was very delicious. But the bun was soggy, but it’s understandable because it is a crazy burger over all. I enjoyed the medium rare patty, as I do love medium rare steak. The seasoning was amazing. Fries were really crispy, which I LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! I also got the chili hot dog, the chili was salty to my tasting. Everyone has different taste. Don’t get me wrong. But I still enjoyed it either way. The workers were very friendly & talkative. Food was cooked & done fast too!

I am from out of town, and was looking for food… Found Louie’s, It was the best Italian beef I have ever had! It was wonderful.

Just tried the cheeseburger at Louie's Char, it was Dynamite! Highly recommend checking this place out

We came in pretty late so it wasn't too busy, but we got to chat with the Chef/Owner himself and learn about the high quality foods. First of all lemme just tell you how delicious those fries are! Perfectly crispy and seasoned to perfection. I had the Korean burger. It was fantastic! So many different flavors going on and blending perfectly. Since we got to chat a bit, we were offered the fancy reserved table in the front for 2 with some very comfortable chairs. Here's the thing. This is good food, not fast food. Everything is made to order so you'll have at least a 15-20 minute wait. It's worth it.

Excellent experience with the owners. They’re very proud of the quality and local ingredients from hot dog buns to in-house chili. Hands down, the best Chicago dog in Milwaukee. Absolutely 5 stars.

This small, fast-casual restaurant with a seemingly simple concept has HUGE flavor. My boyfriend and I both ordered a Chicago Style Char Dog, which the owner/chef Andy highly recommended to us. Mine was the vegetarian version, which uses Field Roast brand vegan meats, and because the Chicago dogs are smaller, I ordered a "double dog" meaning two dogs in one bun. I also opted in for the brioche bun rather than the vegan bun, which is smaller. I'm glad I was hungry because that was the longest hot dog bun I've ever seen.The bun was very tasty and fresh! And the combination of flavors and textures elevated hot dog eating to a level I didn't expect. The hot dog was charred to perfection, and I loved allll the toppings. My boyfriend and I also shared the seasoned fries, which were some of the tastiest I've ever had! Not too salty. The seasoning had a nice paprika-ish flavor, and with the medium size we still had quite a bit leftover.We also shared a medium bowl of vegan chili, which is some of the best I've had! It's made with crumbled vegan meat and beans, so the meaty texture was really nice. I think I'd add some hot sauce to give it some spice next time, which is to say that I will definitely be back!The menu is VERY big, so don't get too overwhelmed. If Andy is there, he will happily give you suggestions! The vegan/vegetarian options are nearly equal to the meat ones, which is very nice to see. Gluten free buns available too! I also really suggest you eat in to taste how good a fresh dog can taste.Great family owned place. I hope to meet Louie someday. ;)

Great food & Service!I had the Korean Burger and it was amazing. The ingredients were all fresh and the burger ? was so good ?.While dining, I had a great conversation with Andy and Rose who run the place. They were very friendly and made me feel welcome. I cannot say enough good things about the people and food here. I highly recommend checking this spot out!

The chop steak and cheese was yummy. Fries and onion rings were both really crispy and good. Want to go back to try other things on the menu. Everyone working there was really nice!

Louie's is a new place on Farwell, right by North Ave. The area has had some new eateries and things opening, and it seems like it's making that part of the east side exciting again. I saw all the good reviews and checked it out around noon. I found free parking easily. The restaurant was colorful, clean, and cozy. Turns out, one of the managers was there and she was very friendly, helpful, and a joy to talk with as I looked through the menu. The menu at Louie's is large; there are so many options from hot dogs & burgers to catfish, vegan dishes, & desserts. It all looked great but I got a Korean BBQ burger and it was bursting with flavor. I got a dog to go, too but took a bite before packing it up! I liked the food, the service, the cute decor. I hope to bring my sister's kids soon.
