    Biscuits and gravy
    Joe F.

    What a find. So good to get off the strip, get away from the overpriced, overwhelming food. Found this place at five stars or nearly there with nearly 2000 reviews and it was worth the drive. We had a larger group, and they worked with us on getting us in. Staff was super attentive and friendly and made sure our drinks were always full, rot more jam if we asked for it, walked us through a few substitutions, and suggestions. Darned everything sounded good, went with the eggs Benedict. Super flavorful, the sauce was a little more similar to almost like a cheese sauce, a little thicker, but fantastic. Bacon was unbelievably delicious. The ham was almost like a quarter inch thick across the 2 eggs. Definitely a filling meal. Everything felt homemade and fresh. Everyone at our table left super happy. My only two little knocks, but I'm still giving it five stars. One, they ran out of hash browns, but in truth we were coming closer to noon than breakfast, so that's to be expected. I was a little underwhelmed by the biscuits and gravy. I don't know that I would get that again, but would 100% get everything else again. Inside, it definitely had like this old time diner's feel. You could definitely tell there's a lot of locals in there and people that love coming. Would highly recommend you taking the journey here.

    On my last day in Vegas, this place came highly recommended and with good reason. There was a short wait but once inside, the decor was awesome! Lots of cute signs and sayings throughout. A diner bar, dessert specials and a wall of misc coffee cups! They start off giving you a variety of homemade jams with crackers! The strawberry and raspberry were my favorite. So good. There were 8 of us and our waitress Shannon was awesome. I ordered a lighter option and it was really good. If you've never been, you definitely need to go, you won't be disappointed.

    Lou's Diner is such a great place to grab some breakfast! The service was absolutely phenomenal, and the atmosphere is so cozy and local My friend and I ended up sitting for two hours just talking, and they were so welcoming and never once made us feel rushed. The food was amazing! I had the homemade hash and home fries, which were so delicious. And you have to try their jam, it's incredible, especially the peach! My friend ordered the SOS with eggs and a slice of ham, and she loved every bit of it. Such a great local spot. We'll definitely be back soon!

    Have not been here for a while because it's so amazing here that sometimes it's hard to get in. Luckily we got in quickly and the food did not disappoint. You sit down and they have so many workers, you are never neglected. Drinks, refills, anything you need, you get it. They bring you crackers with 3 homemade jams while you wait for your food and they are yummy. You can buy their jams and they are awesome. I decided to try the Pastrami Burger and oh it was good. The pastrami was tender and seasoned well and was just amazing on its own but to add the burger, it's excellent. I've never had a bad meal here, the place is awesome, all the staff are friendly and helpful. I believe Lou's is the best diner in Vegas.

    O-M-G! What a find! If I would have found it sooner I would have eaten here every day it was so good. Definitely a local spot. Luckily, we didn't have to wait for a table since we arrived just after normal lunch time. All the staff were friendly and pleasant. Decor of the restaurant was A+. They even had cute posters in the bathroom and hallway. The give you crackers to try their fresh jams. Wow. . .they are so good I ordered some to ship home. Pro tip* they gave me toast to try the jam and it was even better*. Ordered French toast breakfast. French toast was made with thick Texas toast, sausage was well seasoned. They even put the right amount of cheese on the eggs. My dining partner ordered the Salisbury steak special. . . i had a taste and it was amazing.

    I love this local Las Vegas joint that's been around for 70 some odd years. I got the eggs Benedict with hash browns and toast and it was so good! I love eggs Benedict and it all comes down to the hollandaise sauce which was fantastic here, along with the crispy hash browns made for a fantastic breakfast!! I highly recommend Lous diner!!

    Such a great mom and pop diner. I got the omelette and it was perfection! The perfect amount of food. My cousin got loaded tater tots with cheese and some other toppings and it was so yummy and gooey.

The service here is old school diner amazing!! And the food was delicious!! My kind of place, highly recommended. With the wait on a weekend, things move fast! Don't miss this!!

    Went with part of my tribe ( friends that are family). Ample parking incredible Service, and smiles care concern. We decided to split the secret menu item was it super incredible. Sloppy joe grilled cheese and onion rings with a diet soda n unsweet ice tea. Amazing old school sloppy joe ground beef delightfulness. Perfect with great onion rings and great service. The star of the meal was the three homemade jelly and club crackers free on the house starters . This is for sure the real deal diner comforting food yummy on the tummy. Great price point good food exceptional Service. Amazement.

    This hole in the wall was a hidden gem. I had some of the best breakfast in Vegas at this place, everything was cooked to perfection and the employees seemed to all work as a team. My server was Pickles and he was awesome and knew his job very well and made ordering easy. The place isn't but so big but they have a hostess outside of the entrance which helps the spot not get overcrowded. He was really helpful eland energetic, my service was good from being to end while dining here. If you're in Vegas and tired of all the bs on and near the strip then this is your spots.

    We love Lou's Diner. Hadn't been there since we moved to our new house 4 years ago. As we expected, super busy for breakfast on this first day memorial day weekend. It's a very popular place with great food and wonderful people. The place was loud with Conversations but I was able to hear the good music they play. Meatloaf was playing, Nazareth, good Ole rock N roll. Our food was spectacular just as I K ew it would be. Amy was are super sweet waitress. What a gem, that lady. I could go on about lou's but if you've ever wanted to have a homemade meal at a diner, you gotta go to Lou's on Decatur in Las Vegas. Thank you for another great meal

    10 Stars for the Service! This was our 2nd time in, as soon as we sat down our waitress Julie (who waited on us the first visit) walked up & said "Welcome Back! You're here on the same day as last week!" & it was really special that she remembered the food was a HIT, AGAIN. Cant go wrong at Lou's. You definitely have some new regulars! Thank you!! & special shoutout to Corey, who also was very welcoming & made us feel at home.

    Chili Cheese Omelette

    Was visiting Vegas from Los Angeles for my birthday weekend and really wanted a down home diner for one of the mornings. I have known of Lou's Diner for quite some time because it has been open since 1969 and is quite famous in Vegas. As you would guess it's mostly known for breakfast and lunch and they have a huge menu filled with all sorts of American diner classics. There is also a large free parking lot attached in front and we only had to wait about 10 minutes for a Saturday breakfast for a party of two. Inside is quite large and they have many different types of seating options from booths to tables. Our server was extremely polite and everything that we ordered came out very fast. When you sit down, they bring over some complementary crackers and homemade jam and the jam was some of the best that I've had a very long time. I especially liked the raspberry and strawberry. For my breakfast, I chose the Chili Cheese Omelette and added chorizo and avocado and absolutely loved it. It had great flavors and everything about it was just perfect. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting or living in Vegas for a great casual breakfast option.

    We do not have patio sitting. If you have a service dogs, you can bring him/her in.

    Can they serve Monte cristo sand which for breakfast? Also what kind of fries ? Thx

    I have never been there.

    Would this be a good place for a family of 7 to eat breakfast on a budget ? We just moved over here

    Yes! Just maybe make sure to call ahead and see if they have a table available that size so you won't have as much of a wait? It's a lovely very family friendly diner. Hope you enjoy!

    Can Lou's accommodate a LARGE party... football team? Brian there will be about 40 of us at 10:00am Saturday morning

    Yes call them before hand

    Are the biscuits made fresh or are they frozen?

    Hello Jay, biscuits are one of few items that we do not make in-house. We did try, but unfortunately it didn’t work out, especially cost wise. We order them through bread company and get compliments on them all the time :)…

I ordered the Smoked Salmon Benedict with arugula and roasted tomato salad, and I'd give it an 8/10. The Benedict was a little salty for my taste, but thankfully, it didn't overpower the other flavors. The seasoning and hollandaise sauce complemented the dish really well. My father ordered the exact same thing and absolutely loved it. My mother went with the Mexican Avocado Toast, which she rated a 7.8/10. She also found it slightly salty, and the dish was a little cheesier and oilier than she preferred. Since she isn't a big fan of cheese, that affected her overall rating. However, she still enjoyed it enough to finish her meal. My wife ordered the Chicken & Waffle Mac, which was definitely an interesting and creative take on the classic chicken and waffles. Having macaroni incorporated into the waffle made the dish unique. The chicken was crispy and flavorful, and she gave it an 8/10. Thinking there wasn't any macaroni with her entrée, my wife also ordered a side of Cheesy Macaroni. She was pleasantly surprised by it and gave it a 9/10. It ended up being one of her favorite parts of the meal. Overall, Parlour Brunch and Late Night Burger Bar was a solid family dining experience with a comfortable atmosphere, creative dishes, and plenty of flavor.

    A friend recommended we stop here for breakfast or lunch on our way to Zion, Utah. We always make a…read morestop in Vegas to stock up on groceries and grab brunch before heading to Zion for camping. The food here is incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious - but they really need to step up their dishwashing and make sure the food is served hot. There's nothing worse than ordering coffee and seeing purple lipstick on the rim of your cup. It makes you want to leave right away. Then comes the inner debate - do you say something and risk being that customer, or just wipe it off and move on? On top of that, getting food that's supposed to be hot but arrives cold is frustrating. You sit there wishing you were at home where you could just microwave it - because the food is that good and would taste even better at the right temperature. Our experience wasn't helped by our waiter, who seemed disinterested after the lipstick incident (same guy mentioned in previous reviews that comes off rude AF/ agreed!). We didn't feel like asking for much after that. On the bright side, one of the waitresses was amazing - she looked like she was carrying the whole place. The chef clearly knows what she's doing because the food coming out of the kitchen was fantastic. That said, attention needs to be paid to cleanliness and serving hot food. There's no excuse for that. Despite these issues, I gave it five stars because the problems are fixable and don't take away from how incredible the food is. For reference, we visited on Friday, January 3rd, in the morning. There was a nearby parking structure and no wait time. The decor is a mix of farm-to-table and modern bistro - nothing overly exciting or disappointing. We were just looking for a good brunch spot, and this place is truly a hidden gem. Hopefully, they address the concerns we mentioned because it's worth coming back for! __________ To the Chef, Your food is incredible - truly Michelin-worthy. However, the staff is serving it cold and sometimes on dirty dishes. This isn't the first review mentioning these issues. Also, the tall white guy with grey hair was incredibly condescending and rude. Hospitality doesn't seem to be the right fit for him. It's disappointing to see someone like that representing the amazing work and love you pour into your dishes. On the flip side, the waitress with long brown hair was picking up the slack and holding the place together. She deserves recognition - maybe even a promotion. I hope you see this because if the team can consistently serve food hot and on clean dishware, this place could easily become the top brunch spot around. We appreciate your talent and hope this feedback is helpful! - Vee & Mike

It has a rustic, darker ambiance and not your usual bright and sunny brunch spots. The menu not too big, but offered enough varieties that we decided to try the biscuit and gravy as well as the corned bee hash. We also got house coffee and they were from mother ship coffee. Food came out quickly, but they were lukewarm and felt like it was already made and just put under a food light to be kept warm. The biscuit was good and soft, but the gravy was a little too salty. The corned beef came in a smaller portion than I expected, and the beef was diced too thin that they didn't have great texture and flavor. Coffee was good, but overall food was not as good as we'd expect. Service was average, the waitress was nice but didn't offer much service besides bringing out initial water and coffee over. No one really checked in on us after the food was served. I'd most likely not be back as there are many other brunch places in the downtown area to explore.

Bacon Nation slaps slices on just about everything but French toast, and even that can be topped with bacon butter and bacon-infused syrup. The build-your-own omelet is a worthy breakfast, stuffed with two veggies and two meats of your choice. Cheddar, diced onion, and two types of bacon inside three eggs was a winner. Be sure to get some thick bacon slices to go (mango habanero, maple glazed, honey-cured) - always nice to chew on during that nine hour Sunday evening drive back to SoCal. And unlike those anorexic slices that fast food places put on their burgers, you can actually taste this bacon. Open 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., they serve lunch too and if you're in 'growling stomach mode', try the Boarrito but be forewarned - this is a pork-fest of a monstrosity that's not designed for consumption by weight watchers or thoroughbred jockeys. A large tortilla filled with ham, sausage, bacon crumbles, pulled pork, guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo is then wrapped on the outside with countless slices of more bacon, smothered with cheese sauce and sour cream...now I need to take a nap just thinking about digesting it. It's a massive meal and I feel like the waitress could have positioned me on all fours in front of a feeding trough in order to graze on it. Bacon Nation is located on the D's second floor inside a very clean and bright dining room with lots of booths, a counter, and an ultra-pleasant hostess named Angel. In summary, a well-earned 5 oink review is deserving because their food is that darn good. "Everywhere there's lots of piggies, living piggy lives.
