    This was floating at the top of our small to go soup bowl. How did an employee not see this and think that it should be removed? Really, really disgusting.

    Another horrible salad

    Food, horribly prepared salads, had hardly any salad dressing. The whole restaurant needs to be renovated, is dirty, badly kept and the chairs, have no cushion left on them. We will not be coming back and neither should you

    I ordered a pick two: Mediterranean Vegetable Sandwich and Tomato soup. This is what I ordered: French Baguette, sharp cheddar cheese, sweet cherry peppers, sliced red onions, sliced tomatoes. Below is what I got: (The soup wasn't bad! Cold, but not bad)

    Broccoli cheddar soup sourdough bowl
    Andrea D.

    The staff is friendly and helpful. The food is so good. I got the cheddar and broccoli sourdough bowl and my friend got the broccoli man and cheese. The kids loved the broccoli mac and cheese. My bowl was almost gone, it is so filling. My daughter loved her cookie that was in the shape of a mitten with icing on it. My only thing that I can say that needs to be worked on was the cleanliness of the place. The tables, floors, and chairs were dirty, especially the high chairs.

    OVERpriced hospital food. Ordered a chicken sandwich & basically got a few pieces of chicken & 2 pieces of bread. Literally the saddest thing ive ever seen(see pic) soup there is ok but that just entails opening a can. Over 70 dollars for a few sandwiches & a couple cups of soup. If you eat here you either hate food or hate yourself or both. Zero stars not an option.

    Baja bowl
    Allie T.

    I love the baja bowl from Panera... however, time and time again, this specific location gives me a pathetically small amount of food. This photo shows how much food I got (I had mixed it up but had not taken a bite). For almost $11, this is ridiculous. I finished it in about 10 small bites. I was still very hungry when I finished.

    Panini was a little too toasty this time

    7-10+ years ago, Panera Bread was one of my favorite fast food restaurants. However, I feel like the chain as a whole has decreased quality and increased prices in the time since. Fortunately, I've never had an issue with the service--I'd say overall, the staff in Middletown is always friendly and accommodating. This location is very hit or miss when it comes to food quality and accuracy, though. I order pickup often and I'd say about two thirds of the time it's good, and the rest...eh. My most recent visit: the sandwich was burned and the soup was cold. Luckily the order was correct, but sometimes we'll be missing an item or it's not accurately to order (very reminiscent of McDonald's and the like). And of course, none of this justifies the outrageous pricing. Ten bucks for a burnt sandwich and cold soup kinda makes me a little jaded. Other example: why on earth is a soda $2.29? Do they have a magical Coca-Cola fairy who sprinkles gold pixie dust all over the dispensers? If Panera is great at anything, it's identifying the kinds of meals the masses are after--and nickel and diming them in the process.

    09/02/2026 We had 25 Residents from Swan Pointe join us…read moretonight at Lou Lou in Middletown. We were greeted at the door and shown where our group was sitting. We were all really looking forward to this night. Our server was Deanna B. and she was a very hard worker! When we got to the table she was already pouring ice waters and taking beverage orders. The tables were filling up. We had so many people that that they had to seat 4 of us in the section right below the upper level. It worked out perfectly because two of us use canes and this way, we didn't have to climb the steps. The General Manager, Tom Legge, came over to our table and introduced himself to us. He brought us ice water and took our beverage orders. He went over some of the menu items with us. I had looked at the menu ahead of time and decided that the Hot Brown was exactly what I wanted. My husband loves Hot Browns but he also loves Pizza so he ordered a 10" Hot Brown Pizza for his dinner. A friend at the table with me ordered a Hot Brown also and her husband ordered Linguine and it came with 5 huge meatballs. Tom went ahead and turned in our orders so that we would be able to get our food a bit earlier. Meanwhile, Deanna was taking orders at the upper tables. She did an excellent job. She took 21 orders and got those turned in to the kitchen. Most of their orders were Shrimp & Grits, Chicken Carbonara, and Crab Cakes. Quite a few more ordered the Hot Brown. It didn't take much time before the GM brought out our entrees. Our Hot Browns were beautiful! A Louisville classic! There were layers of roasted turkey, laid upon on a slice of Brussétta bread, topped with smoked bacon, and tomatoes and covered with mornay sauce. Oh my! It was delicious. My husband's 10" Hot Brown Pizza was beautiful and was made on Pizza crust. It was really good, but after my husband tasted my Hot Brown, he decided that he liked the Hot Brown a bit better. Our other friend that was at the table with us ordered the Linguine and it came with 5 meatballs- in fact they were huge meatballs. It was served with Marinara sauce. He really thought it was good, but could only eat about 3/4 of it, so he took the remainder of his meal home with him. GM Tom talked the four of us into sharing the Bread Pudding that was topped with a Caramel Glaze. It was a perfect size for the four of us to top off our meal. We had a great time and I was very glad to find a restaurant with a 5 Hot Brown! Robyn

Deciding what to order was another story. I let my indecision rule the day and went with the Bayou Sampler, along with an appetizer of Boudin Balls. Jambalaya, Gumbo, Red Beans and Rice, and Étouffée, with a side of dirty rice, now that's a lot of Cajun goodness! I knew there was no way I could eat it all in one sitting, so I paced myself. I started with just one of the three excellent Boudin Balls and saved the other two for later. When the sampler arrived, it smelled incredible. I enjoyed everything, but if I had to rank them, the Étouffée was definitely my favorite, followed by the Jambalaya, Gumbo, and then Red Beans and Rice. And just to be clear, everything was good! That's simply my personal ranking. I also have to mention the excellent piece of alligator sausage that came with the Red Beans and Rice. That was a nice bonus. I rounded out the meal with a cold glass of red ale...or maybe two. And I can't forget to mention the bartenders. All three provided excellent service and helped make the evening a thoroughly enjoyable experience. I filled up my to go box and headed out the door satisfied. I definitely won't wait so long before returning to Lou Lou!

It's really easy to shrug off a deli/sandwich shop by saying, "It's just sandwiches, nothing special about that" like some reviews I've seen. I think those reviews miss the entire point of the neighborhood deli. I've been two days in a row this week. Once for myself, then again for my family after they heard me rave about the sandwiches and people here. Farrah (sp?) greeted me both days with a, "Hi honey! Be right with you!". You don't get a greeting like that very much anymore, and that same care and effort she put into greeting her customers is evident in the construction of the sandwiches too! I mean when was the last time a business - even local - asked your name before you left, unless it was to put on your coffee cup? We've had the club, the Brooklyn, and the veggie caprese and all of them are phenomenal. I don't think you could make a bad choice at The Block - you're gonna be happy and satisfied. Maybe it is "just a sandwich", and maybe I'm overhyping it because of the way the love they have for the customers and product comes through the entire experience....but even if I am, isn't that the entire point of your neighborhood deli?

The tarragon mayo gives it something different, but personally, I wasn't the biggest fan. Give me regular mayo and some crispy bacon and this would've really hit. Customer service was 10/10, though.

And they have a QR link to photos of all their dishes so you can order with confidence. There's plenty of chicken-and-potatoes kind of things to try. We ordered the arroz con pollo, the lomo saltado, and the bistec a lo pobre. All were very good! The arroz was very flavorful, they say it's infused with cilantro and chicken broth, which gives it a nice, hearty flavor. I definitely recommend it. The lomo was well marinated and tasty, my daughter loved it. And the bistec was huge! We all ate well and brought home leftovers. Go try this unique place!
