All burgers are $5.99 all day long on Mondays! The burgers here are good. It seems like this is a hot spot. It may get busy during normal prime time hours. The food and service are good. I work much farther away now so I may not be eating here as much anymore but not because I don't want to. Try this place out! read more

Such a fun dive bar with great food and great service!! Lots of tvs too so great place to watch a game.

My friend lives in the area and we just wanted to find a bar we could walk to. This bar had karaoke on a Saturday night and was just what we needed at that point. We had good service at the bar as well as cheap drinks compared to downtown Minneapolis. Good time, will probably be back. read more

I was a customer for over 15 years. I went there for chili a few weeks ago. After sending it back 3 times to be re-heated and after waiting an hour after the 3 times, I told the bartender I was never coming back because they cant even heat up chili right. The third time I got the chili, the cheese was burned on top but there were ice chips in the chili. I made a formal complaint on their website. I never received a response. I guess they don't care. And now they have the gall to 86 me because I complained to the bartender I refused to eat there after waiting over an hour for my chili that was ice cold after sending it back 3 times? She even made me pay for my beverage after waiting an hour. I would not recommend anybody go here. This place has totally gone down hill in the last year or two. It also takes over an hour to get your lunch in this joint now because the bartender is soooo slow. I used to eat here a couple of times a week and take my girlfriend a couple of times a month. I coordinated the New Brighton Stockyard Days city festival here in the city for several years and I really like to support local businesses but if they treat you like crap after over 15 years of supporting them, then I don't think it is worth supporting them anymore. I would recommend Bunny's in NE Minneapolis. Fantastic food and great service! read more

Great place near our home. We usually go once a week. Friendly wait staff, minimal wait for drinks and food. It has a comfy atmosphere. We usually order the burgers, but have also been satisfied with quesadillas, nachos and fish and chips. read more

Great place with quality bar food. Everything is always freshly made. Salads are full of cold, crunchy, fresh veggies - and so too are the wraps. Waffle fries are delicious and I can't even tell you how good their ranch dressing is! Their wings are really great too, andvthen serve popcorn once you're seated. Great place! read more

Big Louie's is a great place to go with a big group of people, especially on a weekend. It seems like something is always going at this place and it has always been a blast when I have gone. The food here, especially the burgers and sandwiches, is very good. The service is a hit or miss sometimes you will get a great waitress, other times they will be cranky and a bit rude. But in general this is a great restaurant. read more

Kinda smells like puke and depression. Also can they lose the bakers Square, green house,section? Every time we end up settling on this place (closest bar to our house) we ask ourselves "why??" It's just underwhelming and snakey. Ladies, don't drape your purse over your chair. There's some desperate lookin people in there. Crossing my fingers that the Perkins Nextdoor will turn into a bar... cuz we all know Perkins is better than Bakers Square anyway.. :) read more

My family loves this place! We go almost every week on Wednesday's because they have $3.50 margaritas all day. Tvs everywhere so it's easy to find a game you want to watch, and if it's not on just as your server and it will show up. The food is good, sometimes a few things seem too pricey but if you go during happy hour you can get a good deal on some appetizers. The staff is great, friendly and they keep an eye on you without bothering you. Definitely our go to place within walking distance :) read more

I had one of their burgers. Although I really thought the beef was GREAT quality and prepared nicely, it FAILED with what was a dry and really bland bun. When the bun fails, the whole thing kind of fizzles. I wanted the bun to be amazing too because it would have made me sing their praises! Such a great burger on a disappointing bun. My husband felt the exact same way. He thought that the burger could have been seasoned a bit more too. We both peeled off the top bun after a few bites. My tater tots were excellent! The service really was great and all else was as expected in this type of place. I will try them again and update my review IF they step it up a notch on the buns! (I'm really hoping!) read more

They were playing bingo when I got there. It was great, local folks bellied up to the bar enjoying their evening. I sat at the bar because I was alone and I wasn't disappointed. The bartender was friendly and my food arrived quickly. Definitely a place I'd come back to if I make it back to Roseville. read more

Every time we go we have great service and the food is good bar food ! It isn't fine dining but it is not a crummy chain. Meat raffle, pull tabs, and you can win tix to the Wild ! Drinks have been consistent and poured well ! read more

My husband and I have been going to Big Louie's since it opened. We usually go on Mondays for their burger special. You get so much food and the burger and fries are amazing. The service is 2nd to none. Our waitress remembers us week to week and knows exactly what we order. The business also puts money back into the business (had just renovated the building). read more

Been coming here multiple times for the past five years. I've had disappointments here a few times before but decided to try again. Same mediocre food, staff was rude. The bar consists of a bunch of loud drunk locals. Won't be coming back. read more

My dad and I had the meatloaf dinner tonight. Horrible!!!! Complained about how it tastes and the manager said "it's on the menu that it has Italian sausage in it" .... Bull crap it's not on the menu ... And wasn't told. Not the savory homemade meal I was looking for. Happy Father's Day dad! read more

Big Louie's on a Friday night = not as busy, at all, as I was expecting! I didn't really know what to expect coming here. From the outside, it looks totally divey, which is totally my thing, but this is really the only bar that I know of, other than SAV pub down the road, that is in this little area. However, I don't venture to New Brighton very much. That being said, I thought on a friday night Louie's would be packed and packed with blue collar men staring at us wondering why were were even there to begin with. We strolled in to meet my friends man around 9:40pm, and while there weren't any seats that were in a row for 4 of us to sit at the bar, we grabbed a table right next to it. The inside was much nicer than I ever thought it would be: nice wooden tables and high chairs, a patio out the back, wooden bar that was in a loop shape in the middle, and very nice bathrooms in the front. I was slightly impressed for being sorta nervous to venture here. As soon as we were sitting, Britta, the server/bartender was right there to get our drink orders. She was really sweet, funny, and attentive. She obviously left a lasting impression on me because we went a few weeks ago but I can still remember her name after the stupor she helped put us in! The drinks were cheap and strong, and they also had apps on for happy hour, I believe. I didn't order food though. After a couple hours and Britta had to go, she let us settle up with her first so I could tip her out. The gal that was just bartending took over, and she was on her game as well. I spoke to one of the managers right before bar close, and told her she has some good employees working for her! I was also impressed that the manager was working the floor and actually supervising the place, even though it wasn't rowdy and nothing really was happening. Kudos for her for staying until bar close on a Friday night! Big Louie's overall left me wanting to come back for more! They had a couple games in the corner (SKEEBALL!) and a pulltab counter, and the atmosphere wasn't at all weird like I thought it could be. OH! I did want to mention that we asked for a lemon drop shot, and while they came quickly and were large ones, they were absolutely horrendous. Just bad. Everything else was good though :) read more

Great little spot for a fast dinner and phenominal service. Great beer choices, food and all around time.

Please everyone beware that ownership has decided to add a non cash up charge to each check. Was not posted anywhere. Just showed up on check read more

The Service was inconsistent and the food was tasteless. OMG! The wings were terrible. The margarita...I am not even going to comment.

A 100% improvement over what it used to be when it was Jake's. Servers are better, food is better, entertainment is better... Wings are great, and they come in big portions.... Good Burgers, and beverages are no longer too expensive. Cleaner restrooms too read more

Great for typical bar food. They can produce some great soups from time to time. I love their corn chowder. Good burgers, their fish sandwich has a tendency to be a bit droopy. The fajitas are fair as well. Drink prices are desirable as well. If your in the area and looking for a moderate place to stop you won't go wrong here. read more

Prime rib was very good. Wife had cod. It was good as well. Lots of parking. Server was very friendly.

Other than the scent of musty mop water. The burgers were very good. I had the skippy burger which tasted yummy. Who'd of thought peanut butter would work with pickles. Two of my colleagues had the Big Louie burger. Definitely a two handed burger and all the protein you would want. Another colleague had the bacon burger. The bacon was thickly sliced. It was good. And now the food coma kicks in. read more

Came here for a late lunch based on Yelp reviews and looking at the menu. Ordered a "signature item," Blackened Chicken Sandwich. The chicken breast had been frozen, the sauteed onions were still hard, it had a gallon of some type of liquid pepper jack cheese, and it was served on a kaiser bun instead of the advertised focaccia. The cup of jalepeno stuffed potato cream soup was pretty good. The jalepenos gave it a nice little bit of heat. Nice atmosphere and staff. Clean. read more

None of the food was stellar, but it had a few redeeming qualities. For example, the burger was just acceptable, but the fries were good. I had the chimichunga, and it was pretty good, but the refried beans and rice were not very good at all. Overall, we decided we probably would not go back. Our server was good. Their coke products were flat. The atmosphere is very casual, heavy on the sports bar. SO, if you're looking for a place to watch a game... might be good. Big bar, looked like a good place to go if you're just drinking. read more

This place reminds me of Cheers! they always have something going on and the staff is always awesome. Not only that, the food is really, really good! C'mon they have a Peanut Butter Hamburger and I would have never thought but it was super tasty. The happy hour specials are also very good. Shout out to Becky Perkins for being the best damn bartender around! read more

Ate here twice during my week in the area. Once for lunch, once for dinner. Food and service was good both times. I had dinner on Wednesday night . Couldn't believe that the parking lot was full. It appears Wednesday night is Bingo night. The only seats left at the bar were right behind the beer taps, which granted me little " spray" during my time there. Despite the crowd, the food was still good and so was the service. The bartender never stopped moving, but I never felt forgotten. thumbs up! If I am here again, I'll be back! read more

Eh. The food was decent, same with the service. Nothing 'wowed' us. It wasn't busy, but it took longer than it should have to take our order, and it was another 15-20 minutes before we got our burgers. On Mondays their burgers are on special for $6.99 (any of their burgers) waffle fries are extra during the special, normally included. Got the avacado burger. The avacado wasn't ripe, so if I had payed extra on any other day I would've been unhappy. Since it was on special I just took it off and it was simply a bacon cheeseburger. Nothing "special" about this place. And the service was slow. read more

good happy hour prices and not too steep other times. Great food, lots of it and always hot. Good employees, friendly. Plenty of parking. A nice neighborhood type bar and grill. read more

Went to this restaurant for the first time on bingo night. The hostess said it would be a twenty minute wait. After 1 hour and seeing some people leave throughout, I approached the waitress for the third time about the long wait. She said they were waiting on one table to leave. Looking at a larger table that was available, I asked about that particular one. She said that was saved for parties larger than our party of 3. Funny there was no one else in line behind us. We left, disgusted in the total waste of time waiting for a table that may never open read more

The food was alright, the buns on the sliders came out soggy like they had been sitting in the window for a while. The bartender (blonde, 30's, kind of curvy), however, was rude and unprofessional to us and our neighboring customers. A few seats away from us, a man asked for a new drink because there was a straw wrapper in his. The bartender said no, then laughed in his face when he asked to see the manager. So sad, we won't be back. read more

Been coming two days a week on average for several months now. Great burgers with Monday night special , can't go wrong , good soup, chicken strips, Ruben etc. The place has improved greatly this last year. Service is great, can't beat Greta. read more

Great bar food and atmosphere. They have awesome burger specials on Mondays too. Brisket sandwich is great. Great T.V. set up for Sports.

Stopped in for a burger on the way home from cycle show. Very good pub food. Great waffle fries. Burger fries tall beer $17 fast service. read more

Big Louie's - Big Louie's - New American Near Me - New Brighton, Minnesota

Drink deals are decent, karaoke Thurs and Saturdays, good food, free propcorn, fun place for any age. Big Lou's!

We came here on a Tuesday night because I read that kids eat free those nights. As it's near our neighborhood, I also felt inclined to support them. What a appointment. We showed up at 6pm after picking our two young daughters up from day care only to be told that they were only serving appetizers because they were closing at 7pm. ???? Apparently, they were having their holiday party for staff that night and were turning people away at the door practically. There was no note on the big sign by the door or on the large board outside. Nice. As it was late and we needed to eat, we decided to stay when I saw the chalkboard said "Kids Eat Free". When I inquired about whether or not the restaurant was going to honor that statement still, the hostess rolled her eyes and called for the Manager. I kid you not, folks, Brandon the Manager actually said "what do you want?" when he came to us. Really?? That's how you address your customers? So, this guy rolls his eyes (what's with the eye-rolling in this place??!!) and in the most surly way possible, said "yeah, whatever" when I asked him if we were going to get the kids free meals. It was as if we were a major pain in his butt. Had it not been for the time, we would have left. So, we get past this and order from a really nice, apologetic waitress. Their beer choices suck (Surly BEER, not surly managers people!!) and my husband had to send back his Summit as the tap wasn't clean. The mini cord dogs for the kids were ok, but their sliders were horrible. Neither of the girls, who normally love burgers, would touch them after one try. We tried them and they were so hard and dry we could barely swallow after a bite. How can you mess up a slider? My husband and I shared the quesadillas and lettuce wraps. While the 'dillas were actually pretty good, we ended up picking the chicken out of the Chung King-like concoction they made. The sauce, crispy noodles, and other unidentifiable items in the bowl were over salted, slimy, and were unmanageable in the wrap. So, needless to say, we won't be coming here again. We eat out a lot with our girls. My husband and I love food and supporting our neighborhood establishments. However, I will not (and shouldn't have to) put up with downright nasty attitudes and poor customer service, not to mention crappy food. I want to teach my girls the value and pleasures of eating out and trying new things. This experience taught them that people can be jerks and that it's not always worthwhile to be the bigger person and let it go, as their food turned out to be downright inedible. read more

DON'T COME HERE!!!!!!! My husband and I were sitting here watching the game, minding or own business. 20 mins later a Plain clothes POLICE OFFICER walked over to us and asked him for his ID. He said 'I Hope you're not the Guy' And I said 'What, Cus all Black guys looks alike' The office shrugged his shoulders, checked the Drivers license, and Talks into his walkie talkie and said 'Cancel That'. I wanted to leave immediately. I'M APPALLED! The waitress walked over with our food and I told her what happened. Then ought of a sudden the manager comes over with her disclaimer trying to smooth things over acting like no one from the bar has anything to do with that. BS!!!!! . read more

I have been coming here for years since I live close by and every time I walk in I ask myself "why the hell did I come here again". I came in to get a little gift card for a coworker and literally the bartenders and servers just stare at me like I'm lost or something...... like can't u greet ur customers with "hi welcome" like every other bar in the world??? So then I basically had to figure out where the I can get a gift card cause none of the workers there are much help. No one is at the host stand so I walk to the bar where this bartender girl CLEARLY knows I'm waiting for her cause she eyed me up and down when I walked in. So I wait and wait for her to finish her conversation with some other dude at the bar before she says "do you need something?" Duh I need something do you think I'm standing here for fun cause I have nothing better to do?????? Mind you there are 3 other customers total in the restaurant. The whole situation took 30 minutes which should of only taken 5. The food is bar food that is just mediocre I'd go to other places. And over priced for the quality. The entire place stafff food service and all is trashy!!!! Even when u walk in it stinks. Don't waste ur time here!!! Update: came here last week to get take out on my way home, I ordered 2 appetizers they screwed up the order on one and the other app-the spinach dip was cold :/ read more

Just ok. The bartender was pretty distant to me because I wasn't one of the regulars sitting there. She never really asked me if I wanted anything and seemed to just have a bad attitude. The food was just ok- the fries were not edible because they were so hard. Probably in the freezer too long. Burger was just ok. Dingy atmosphere. Would not come back. read more

Two words: Monday Night! They have a special on burgers and man are they some nice burgers. Usually like to go with the family once in a blue moon. read more
