Funky burger joint on a rough stretch of Watt Ave.

Burgers are pretty good. I like the special sauce they put on theirs. Wish they had shoe string fries instead of crinkle cut. I managed to force myself to eat them though. =P The cherry shake was fantastic!

Best Hamburgers in the World

by beegee82 at Citysearch

My parents have been going to Lou's since the fifties. I have gone my whole life and now it is my children's first place they want to eat when they visit Sacramento. My children say Lou's has the best hamburgers in the whole world and we love the unusually milkshake flavors like pineapple and blackberry.

• Pros: Milkshakes and burgers
• Cons: Only location

best and biggest shakes

by sally386 at Citysearch

For the best and biggest shakes in town you must go to Lou's.

They have real fruit cut up in them. so be sure to get a spoon, you'll need it.

The burgers are GIANT. and the prices are stuck in a time warp.

What a bargain.

• Pros: best and biggest shakes in town
• Cons: none

FIVE STARS FOR FLAVOR!

by dwamy1 at Citysearch

A long time neighborhood favorite. Change of ownership has not change the burger sauce recipe and continues to bring that "Happy Days " feel to even the youngest customers. The food is hot, flavorful,and almost always a little greasey(just like it should be). Remeber we're talking burgers about a drive-in restaurant. Most highly recommended is the double cheese burger and fresh banana shake, What a sweet combo!!!!!!!!!!! Over all rating for flavor is Five superstar!!! Just remember the place is about sixty years old and look past the location.

• Pros: flavorful, oldstyle, accurate
• Cons: location, accessibilty, other customers
