Lou's Barton Springs 1608 Barton Springs Road, Austin, TX 78704

"We met a friend at this restaurant for lunch. Before we went, I read the reviews. Based on the reviews it seemed that the food was good, but the service was lacking. So I went with an open mind. The food was really good and the the food runner was very attentive to our table. In addition, there were several bussers there who took away empty glasses and plates. For the price and the quality of food, it was definitely worth it. We started our meal with cocktails. I had the Gin/tonic, my roommate, the Bloody Mary. Both were fantastic. Then we shared the guacamole. It was really good, in texture and flavor. The accompanying chips were super fresh. We also had the spicy cucumber side. It was amazing. For my main I had the Greek salad and my roommate had the burger. These dishes were also really good. I would definitely come back."

"Went here after our hike/ swim at Barton springs and it was delicious! I had the chicken tender sandwich and we shared the fried pickles, guac, and brussel sprouts. Definitely recommend them all! I loved the ambience and really enjoyed the music they played. Parking is free for the first 4 hours in the parking garage. Just make sure to get your ticket validated before you leave (located at the bar in a cup). Great time overall!"

"Great spot to eat. My running group and I come here every Saturday and the food is delicious. Reasonably priced and inside is always clean and well kept. The breakfast sandwich is delicious but my friends got the omelette which also looked excellent. Right near Barton springs so even if you want to catch something to eat after a swim, I highly recommend! They have other things on their menu too which I look forward to trying. Staff is nice and caring."

"As a nonbeliever of whole roasted chicken in general I am very impressed by the roasted bird at Lou’s. Dark AND white meat are both flavorful and juicy. The skin has a nice crispness to it but still slightly pliable. The green sauce is reminiscent of the sauce that comes with Peruvian rotisserie chickens. Pro move: order all the sauces and a few extra green sauces!"
