Like always good great buy 5 get 1 Texas red hot loaded , hamburger with sauce great, French Fries with sauce out of this world

This was really disappointing. We walked by earlier and they had a pride shake they were advertising on a sign that looked awesome. Decided to go back later for it. I wasn't hungry so we got the food to go. I ordered a pride shake and was told "we haven't had that since the parade". So they had it for three days a few weeks ago and haven't taken the sign down. Went with tap water. Even though we ordered to go she brought the food to the table in eat in baskets instead so I'm sitting here drinking water watching a vegan eat his dinner while I stare at my phone. It's been pretty crappy from start to finish. Even if I was hungry I would probably refrain from trying the food because this has just been pretty miserable and I'm sure I'll hate anything I eat in this state of mind. read more

Louie's Texas Red Hots - Greek burger and a cheeseburger - Fast Food Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Super friendly service on Mother's Day when my dear mom wanted a Greek salad. We had dogs - veggie for me.

These guys in the kitchen can cook. Breakfast fuckin' slapped. Fresh XL eggs fried right. Excellent sausage, Costanzo's roll... great! It still looks the same as it did when I was in high school circa 1980. And that's a good thing. read more

I am glad I stopped. Instead of breakfast in a sack, I was looking for good quick food. Louie's does not disappoint! The staff were fantastic! They were friendly and accommodated my special food needs easily. Before I knew it, my food was up and it was good. Besides a large fan working hard in the back, the place was very comfortable; great for a quick meal! read more

Well first off the patio was closed. Restrooms were closed and it was filthy! We went to order and they had no clue what they were doing. We got our food they used half a bottle of mustard on two hotdogs with minimal sauce. The hotdogs and the burgers were way overcooked!! They were not Sahlens hotdogs!! They did redo the hotdogs that were overloaded with mustard but they were still overcooked. They also didn't steam the rolls! This used to be our favorite location. We will NOT return!! read more

Louie's Texas Red Hots - Fast Food Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Louise was open 24 hours until a few months ago. They are still open from early until late. Taking to the manager, he said that despite the reduced hours, their business went up, not down. Stop in for a meal, and you will understand why. Seriously: you could close your eyes and randomly pick something on the menu, and you'll be happy with what you get. The steak and cheese sub was huge and flavorful. I got home fries with it. Man, those are good. The grilled cheese is how every grilled cheese should be: buttery and crispy. The fries are also perfectly done. I wanted to get a picture of my wife's grilled chicken sandwich, but she loved it so much that she had eaten half of it already. Hers was served with feta cheese, which is a sophisticated choice for such a humble setting. And, of course, Louie's has hotdogs in their name, and they do serve a flawless dog, however you happen to like it. And, the service is lightning quick, plus the price won't set you back that much. And - AND! - they let you take your dogs to the outdoor area. My only regret is that New York has changed their rules for out of state residents. The locals have it pretty good here. read more

If you know me well, you know that Louie's trips were a quintessential part of my childhood. The location I frequented most often sadly closed this year, but I am so grateful to have a Louie's near my current apartment. Many reviewers will rate this place low due to the nature of the restaurants and the greasy finish to their food. But to those reviewers I ask... what did you truly expect? It's not fine dining. It's not gourmet. It's cheap, diner food, and I will always have a spot in my heart for that sort of fare. A hot dog, a heaping portion of fries, and a cup of their famous sauce cost me a grand total of $8. Where else could you get that in this economy? Louie's has the charm that fancier hot dog/burger joints just can't replicate. From the red and yellow paneled walls to the cheesy wooden booths to the paper menus, everything is so memorable. Louie's will always be etched in my memory and this location is no exception. Get a hot dog when you have the chance. read more

Such a great option when you're hungry super early or super late! Came here and had a fantastic breakfast....twice in one week! The Greek Omelette is to die for! Their home fries are ah-may-zing. I suped up my omelette with spinach, mushrooms and onions ;) I would most definitely come back, and enjoy a hearty meal for a low price (good on a budget option). read more

Great ok Buffalo food Service is fast. This is your 3am type food, I gotta eat Buffalo food and eat it now!. Ambiance- is back to Elmwood 79s style. read more

I was driving north on Elmwood last week when I spotted this place. Pulled in a driveway, and parked on Elmwood. Ordered two slime dogs to go. They were fabulous! Just like the ones you can get at Louie's on Seneca near Wildwood. I'll be back. read more

I've ordered from Louie's a few times via GrubHub and I am not really impressed. Their food is just okay. I'd honestly like it better if Ted's delivered for when I get a late night craving for a hotdog. I'm not a fan of their slime dogs. I would prefer a regular chili sauce over their slime sauce. Their dogs aren't charbroiled which I think is a Buffalo staple. Though I think their buy 5, get one free deal is pretty rad. And so are their late night hours. I am a fan of of their breakfast though. Served all day by the way. They have pretty yummy pancakes and home fries. They also make an omelette with their hot dogs in it if you're into that thing, but I'm not that adventurous. Bottom line: if Ted's is God-tier, Louie's is mediocre tier. At least they're not ballpark franks. Plus they have good hours and good deals on hot dogs. And you can't forget all day breakfast is rad. read more

Took a break from painting my kitchen this past Saturday to go get something to eat on Elmwood. We walked through the snow and arrived at Louie's on Elmwood. When we walked in we checked out the menu displayed because it was our first time there. Right away I found odd all the prices were covered. The one fellow behind the counter that was also cooking stated they were "updating the prices". Thats when we should of walked out because when I asked what certain things cost, he became very frustrated and was POUNDING the computer screen to check. Made Dan and I feel very uncomfortable. Who the heck wants a "mystery price" on something. I ordered the veggie burger, and Dan ordered the burger combo meal with an upgrade for a chocolate shake. I didn't want to ask another question because I felt so uncomfortable. The lady that took the order and delivered our food was nice and I felt very bad for her. When another couple came in and ordered she had to go outside to get the guy who was shoveling to come in a cook the food and she was apologizing almost to him, "I'm sorry but you have to come back inside because we have a new order to prepare". Once our food came it was decent. It cost me almost $20. They charged me $2 for bacon on Dans burger and he didn't even ask for it. The experience made us feel uncomfortable. It was our first and last time visiting. They need to train the current employees how to treat others or considering getting rid of some employees if they want their business to succeed. I can tell you one thing, we've never experienced this level of rudeness ANYWHERE before! So ...AVOID read more

Finally a hot dog place is back on Elmwood Ave! The hopes were high for Louie's and the were mostly met. If you love Ted's hot dogs you should know up front that this is not Ted's! If you want a hot dog in the style of Ted's save yourself some heart ache and just go there. With that said, these guys have top notch loaded Texas Red Hot and the fries are nice and crispy. The location is newly built out and feels like it would be nice to hang out at ( I had take out this time). The staff was nice and my food came quick. What more can you ask for in a hot dog joint? read more

I was craving a hot dog, and it was good. I won't dream of it, but if I was passing and needed a snack the hot dog would suffice. The service was great, quick and friendly; the place was basic. The seating was tables and chairs so you don't have to perch on a stool, the lighting was good to read in. read more

Louie's Texas Red Hots - breakfast, lunch and dinner - Fast Food Near Me - Buffalo, New York

How does a Canadian living in the States celebrate memorial day? Well, I do it by eating a hot dog and a cheeseburger because it seems to be the thing to do. I stopped by Louie's Texas Red Hots on Monday (My second trip to a Louie's location since relocating to Buffalo) looking to get my Memorial Day fix. The place was completely empty which threw me for a loop since last Memorial Day I went to Ted's and the lines were practically wrapping around the building. I'm an idiot so I ordered a texas red hot not realizing that the toppings are what makes it that, and the employee who blankly stared at me like I was an idiot made it known instead of rather just explaining to me. Once we finished ordering and she asked for a name she again seemed irritated that I answered instead of my girlfriend, for some reason. Once the food actually came out I was underwhelmed with pretty much everything. I had a hot dog with meat sauce and it tasted like every other run of the mill hot dog you could order from a diner. The cheeseburger was alright, but "alright" is as far as I would go. The food was all decent but nothing to really praise or mention again. Would I come back? Maybe. Would I ever be the one to suggest coming back? Most likely not. read more

Louie's Texas Red Hots - Basics for a basic. - Fast Food Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Does not serve breakfast "all day everyday". Poor service from the night shift ladies

I ordered a breakfast sandwich, 2 scrambled eggs & toast. The reason i'm giving 2 stars is the breakfast sandwich was decent. Everything else was trash. First, I ordered rye toast and was given white. But it WASN'T EVEN TOASTED?!?! They gave me regular untoasted bread with a little button smeared on. And the scrambled eggs looked like they had been rolled in dirt and then put in a box. This was my first time ordering from them and I won't be doing it again. read more

They NEVER get our orders right. It's not even like I add weird things or make it complex. Just basic right of the menu orders, always wrong. Always missing something. I have to check every single thing in the bag before I leave, so I don't have to turn around and drive all the way back when I inevitably realize they messed it up. I don't know what the heck these people are doing over there but no other location has given us constant issues like this one. read more

The service here was really good and the food was fresh. We were the only people in here around 7am a few weeks ago. The only reason I took a star off was I felt the ordering was confusing. There is a dining room, but you have to order at the window and then go sit down if you are dining in. In my opinion, I feel that made it a pretty awkward experience at first because there was no sign stating this was the process, but that was overall my only real recommendation. read more

Ate there this morning and to my surprise after eating most of a souvlaki breakfast, I find a short and curly in my eggs, WOW FUXXIN GROSS DUDE!! I didn't even go back in there as I wanted to save myself the assault charge!! Will never be back!! Immediately left there scrubbed my teeth and rinsed with mouth wash!! Never again!! Oh and the tall skinny guy there in the morning acted like I inconvenienced him for ordering. Stay away from this place terrible! read more

The Louie omelette. What happens when Texas hots marry a cheese omelette. Two hot dogs sliced into little medallions, sautéed with diced yellow onions, tucked into a three egg omelette topped with lots of gooey melted American cheese and a large ladle of Texas hot sauce. If you scarf Texas hots, Ooh baby. If you chow down on American cheese omelettes, Yowzah. If you crave the sweet aromatic aroma and crunch of sautéed onions, you might want to yell out a Woo Hoo. Sadly I could not finish. The rye toast was exactly as ordered, I like mine a little dark please. Carafe of coffee made my cup bottomless. Ordered and paid at the counter, and then a server brought everything out and checked on my progress from time to time. Good no frills food. Good service. Clean. read more

Well, I didn't quite have time for breakfast before PT this morning so I decided to stop at Louie's on the way home. I had not yet been to this location. As I entered the doorway, the imagery of the Texas Red Hots seemed to whisper, "You know you want me." So I compromised and got the sauce on my breakfast order of two eggs and home fries plus toast. I see a lot of comments here about poor service and I must say, I think that is being addressed because when I came here today it felt like I was participating in an employee training video--being filmed to demonstrate good service. The girl behind the counter greeted me and told me about their specials and the cook even leaned over to make a recommendation. The girl was also polite when bringing my order to the table and the coffee which came with a small carafe for refills. Very convenient. read more

The waitress was so very rude! Costumer service non-existing. Today, after working long hours painting our porch, we walked over there to placed a two hamburger order, one with sautéed onions and mushrooms , one without the onions. My husband really dislikes onions, but I love them. When the "very small" hamburgers arrived. There was onions on his hamburger and none of the sautéed onion nor mushrooms on mine. We told the waiter who brought the food to our table about the mistake and asked him to please add the mushrooms and onions to mine. A few second later the waitress came over to yell at my husband for it was his fault the order was wrong, to pay the extra for the onion. He was caught of guard and told her, "it's my mistake? You want me to pay extra? Every one enjoying their food were also shocked by her reaction. Then she came back with the right order for me and give him attitude again when I force him to be the better person and apologize. Oh big mistake! The hamburgers where small and the mushroom were from a can and The service was horrible. Therefore they lost two customers. read more

The place sucks but it's fast. Their phone staff needs to be improved.

would often go to Louie's Texas Red Hots to pick up deliveries but would regularly unassign the orders be cause the employees there weren't wearing masks properly. I was sent out to do a delivery today and when I came in, I was asked to leave. The manager there claimed when I came in the past I made a racial slur. I insisted I didn't. The manager there said he would call the police if I didn't leave. I explained to him that I didn't except orders in the past because they weren't obeying the facemask order. He insisted I leave and I kept on insisting that I didn't make any racial slurs while we waited for the police to arrive. The manager couldn't wait for the police to arrive so he decided to take the liberty to assault me. He charged into me, pushing me to the ground, bruising my right elbow. He knocked the helmet from off my head. When I came in to ask for my helmet, he walked outside and and flung it across Elmwood Ave. against a concrete barrier accross the street. The police did nothing. They never bothered to hear my side of the story, nor did they bother to file a police report. I am a human being just like everyone involved and should be treated as such. I know of three people who have died because of the covid-19 virus and am very concerned. This virus affects everyone regardless of race(s), creed and/or sexual orientation. This is brutality that should not be tolerated by any bussiness! In addition, this is a restaurant that must follow health guidelines like any other restaurant. read more

I want to state that THIS Louie's is in NO WAY affiliated with the original Louie's that was on Elmwood and Hodge. That original Louie's is now on Sheridan drive in Tonawanda still serving the best Dogs in town. They have excellent people and service and the food is perfect every time. My star rating is for the original Louie's in Tonawanda My apologies for getting that mixed up with the Louie's on Elmwood .. want a great dog?

We have come to this location several times and so far, the food is exacrly what it should be, excellent! But the people who work there are awful!! Not one person smiles or greets you! They do not say thank you for your order, have a nice day, etc! When I left yesterday I felt like I should be careful of what I was eating for fear they may have done something to my food the way they were acting! If this was a one time occurence, I would let it go. This was my final time going here. From now on, I will take the ride to Delaware or Bailey. They should just close down and call it a day! Lousy lousy service makes for a lousy lousy business!!! read more

For 3 people the bill was 34.50. If I could, I'd give this place a --5 star. As far as food is I would say a 2 out of 10. Hot dog with the "supposed" speciality sauce was just a sorry example of wanna be chili "masked" with mustard. Onion rings were just a greasy mess. The reason I'm giving the place a 1 star is the employee that took our order. To whoever the owner or manager is please replace her or your business will not succeed. That was the very worst restaurant customer service ever EVER. She is a short young girl with short dark hair. Not once did she smile nor seem interested in our order. When she brought the drinks to the table we asked which is the "diet". Her response was "smell it". I'm sorry but I have an allergic reaction to diet drinks !!! Not only but diet drinks DO NOT SMELL DIFFERENT. Since I am from out of state my friend who is a local went up to ask her why she is so rude. The employee responded with "all diet drinks smell different" and walked in the back and wouldn't come back out. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. It's not worth the aggravation nor the money you spend here. read more

There aren't that many people that could literally always eat a hot dog. Like every day. But I'm one of these people. I know my hot dogs. This place does up a nice dog. They do not use a char grill like Ted's and other places in buffalo are known for. But they are most definitely delicious. Their fries are perfect for my liking, shoestring and perfectly crisp. They have a variety of combo meals that include fries and a drink. They also have a decently sized breakfast menu. This place is my go to greasy fix. They are also open 24/7 in some if not all locations and are often my late night choice after a night out. The Elmwood location is definitely the nicest and most welcoming. read more

For a place that serves up small hot dogs, burgers and fry potions, this joint really knows how to charge as if you got ten times as much food. Louie's was always a staple on elmwood but it's simply lost what used to make it great. I cannot fathom how they have priced their menu. The only benefit is they are open late. read more

Quick and friendly service. Their classic Louies red hots are the best. My friend left her personal items (passport wallet etc) at this location once and the manager had kept it safe and was extremely cautious and protective of it, found her on Facebook to return it. I was very impressed. read more

"If you're in a hurry, you're in the wrong place" This place sells cheap fast food and you may have to wait for your order for 40 minutes or more. If you ask about your order, they will yell at you. If they give you the wrong order, they will yell at you. read more
