    Window to order
    Eric M.

    Lou's deli located on Lincoln across from Saigon coffee. Stopped in to grabbed some to go food before our boots in the park concert. We ordered the Italian and a tuna club to go, as it's all to go unless you're ordering from the bar next door. We took the sandwiches back to our hotel and feasted on them in the room. Both sandwiches were full of meat and full of flavor. The Italian was so juicy and wet it literally made a giant mess in your hands. However, that's said, it was an absolutely epic sandwich full of flavors and worth the price and worth the wait. The turkey club was also super tasty and full of meat and flavors. Delicious through and through. We ate half and then half the next day. It was just as good the second day as the first. You can't go wrong getting a sandwich from Lou's, that's a promise.

    **3.5 stars** Lou's is home to the viral Kale Caesar Wrap! I am admittedly deep in my Chicken Caesar Wrap phase and just haddd to make my way down to Lou's to see what all the hype was about. I got their Kale Caesar Wrap with crispy chicken (you can opt for grilled) and a margarita (they have quite a funny sign about day drinking). I'm sorry to say that I found their Kale Caesar Wrap just alright. While it's a great size and I loved the crispy chicken, I think it could've used a smidge more dressing. I know that it's called a kale wrap, but my jaw can only take chewing only kale for so long.... and it was a big wrap... I LOVED the margarita! They give it to you in an inconspicuous kiddy sippy cup with cartoon animals on it. How utterly cute! I'm obsessed with this concept! Oh! Also! If you're a pickle fanatic, each order comes with a complimentary bag of pickle flavored popcorn. A really nice surprise! Beware, though, she's saltyyy.

    LOUIE'S ITALIAN SUB

    Went here while my friends were in town and I loved how we could sit next door at Happy Medium and order from there! I got the Lou's Italian sub and it was huge!!! I didn't order the fries but got the pickle popcorn and it was delicious. I ate half and saved the other for later and it taste even better! My bf tried the chopped cheese that taste like a burger on a bread! Will definitely be coming back!

    Chicken parm vodka and pesto. Do it
    Scott A.

    Not sure what's with so many bad reviews. Easily should be over 4 stars. Chicken vodka parm with pesto was delicious. As a jersey boy I was excited to see a chopped cheese so had to get that as well. So good. Both meats were tender and juicy. Great bread which is underrated importance in a sandwich. Vodka sauce and special sauce on both were really tasty

    I picked up the "Philly Style Roast Pork on a soft hoagie roll for $15.99 plus tax. The sandwich came with roasted pork and broccoli rabe with Provolone cheese, and a side of pork au jus in a small container. They also give you a small bag of freshly popped popcorn with your sandwich, which is kind of cool. The sandwich came with a good amount of the roasted pork. It had good flavor and was nicely seasoned, however, it was on the borderline of being dry; hence, the reason why they probably serve it with a side of au jus. I do recommend they place the pork on the hot griddle, squirt a little water on it, then place the provolone on the meat. and proceed to cover it with a lid to melt the cheese properly and ensure the meat stays juicy, but that is just me. Also, don't hold back on Provolone because the cheese on this particular sandwich was hardly noticeable. It was barely melted and contained a single level across the sandwich. The au jus was good, but overly salty. I had to use it sparingly or else the salt level would overwhelm the sandwich. The broccoli rabe was good but some of the pieces were over cooked and did not provide that good bite. The service was very good. Everyone was very nice. The young lady who taking order had a very positive personality.

    WALDORF CHICKEN WRAP
    Cirwan S.

    Definitely coming back here. Had amazing food the first experience. Me and my buddy shared 3 sandwiches. We started things with chicken Parmesan and it was phenomenal. I love pastrami so much. I got the Siberian train wreck, it was my favorite! My buddy wanted to get something on the lighter side for our 3rd sandwich. We got the chicken waldorf sandwich. It had grapes and Fiji apples ! Each order comes with pickled popcorn. Next time I come I want their slushee cocktails ! Plenty of place to sit !

    CHICKEN PARM
    Jordyn S.

    I've been waiting forever to try Lou's Deli and it didn't disappoint. The chicken parm was so flavorful. I loved the combo of red sauce and pesto sauce - I could've done with even more sauce on the sandwich since it was so good! Great to be able to take the food and eat it at Happy Medium too.

    WALDORF CHICKEN WRAP

    Great spot to curb your sandwich craving or for a quick bite! You order at a curbside window and find a seat out at their patio seating. The girl who took our order was friendly. Our sandwiches came out fairly quickly! I love that each order comes with a complimentary side of pickle popcorn. As someone who loves anything pickle flavored AND popcorn, this was a perfect snack. A friend had found this place on tik tok particularly raving about their Chicken Caesar wrap! To my surprise, they didn't have it on the menu so I opted to get the waldorf chicken wrap. However, when my friend ordered after me their chicken ceasar wrap is actually on their "secret menu" - so it is something you can order. I can't speak on their ceasar wrap, but I thoroughly enjoyed the waldorf chicken wrap! It was both sweet and savory - I'd get it again! For the pickle popcorn alone, I'd give my experience a 5/5. I've never been to a sandwich place that gives a complimentary snack with every order... let alone pickle popcorn??? That's a 5/5 in my books.

    CHICKEN CAESAR SALAD WRAP

    Was super excited to finally try this. Specifically for the crispy chicken. Got the wrap and there was little to no chicken in it at all. The dressing was really good but it should've just been called a Cesar salad wrap. Also ordered a chopped cheese. That was really good and the lady was really sweet but probably won't go back now but if anyone else has a spot for chicken Caesar salad wraps, lmk lol

    Kale Chicken Ceasar Wrap
    Desiree P.

    Order from the window, very sweet and attentive staff! They had loads of options to choose from - i opted for the Kale Chicken Ceasar Wrap. AMAZING CHOICE - full of flavor, crispy chicken and perfect amount of dressing. Also got a side of tater tots and received a box full of tots, crispy, well seasoned. Definitely found a reason to drive an hour to San Diego!

    Solid Italian sandwich and love that they offer gluten free bread! Also comes with pickle flavored popcorn and you can order to sit at happy medium.

    Saw this spot on one of the food review shorts I watch on YouTube. Sandwiches were way bigger for his video lol. Decent food but price point is a lil high for the quality. They have some outdoor seating at the business connected. If your going make sure your not pressed for time. Wait time for the two sandwiches was around 40 mins.

    WALDORF CHICKEN WRAP
    Erik L.

    Great little spot to stumble upon! I was in need of a quick food refuel and Lou's Deli was just the answer. Their sandwich menu had so many tempting options, but I went with the Waldorf wrap--and wow, it absolutely hit the spot. Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The staff couldn't have been friendlier, and I really appreciated how convenient the setup was with the order counter right off the sidewalk. Super easy to grab something tasty without any hassle. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area--I'll be back to try more of their sandwiches!

The space was very open with ample seating inside and out. The staff was very friendly and our drinks were made super quick. My husband ordered an old fashion and I ordered the passion by. Both drinks were good, a little pricy but typical hotel pricing. We had a good time catching up with friends before making our way to our event.

    My friend and had been planning to meet at a Mission Valley wine bar on a Friday evening, but found…read morethat it wasn't open. So, we looked to find something nearby and found Monkeybar. I had sort of been to Monkeybar several years back when I used Resort Pass to spend a day lounging by the pool. At that time, I had walked up to the bar several times for mimosas, but mainly spent time at the pool rather than in the bar. This time, it was a chilly January evening and we walked in to find that there was a convention at the hotel, so it was pretty packed. The decor was modern, but the bar itself was really just a hotel lobby bar. I was hoping it would have a bit more character. There was a DJ playing, which was cool, but it also was pretty loud making it difficult to catch up with my friend. We struggled as the indoor area was loud and the outdoor area was really cold. The couple of outdoor tables that had fire pits were already taken by convention-goers. Finally, we chose to sit on the outside area of the bar, which was still chilly, but was quiet enough so that we could chat. Anyway, I was a bit hungry, and had been hoping for a salad, but there were none on the menu. We chose to share the edamame hummus. They did have some decent sounding cocktails on the menu, but we were in the mood for wine. We both chose glasses of Malbec. The Malbec was decent, so I had a second glass. Our bartender was friendly, but out hummus was forgotten. After I asked, he expedited our order. I enjoyed the hummus and the variety of veggies. As it got colder, we moved inside when the DJ ended. Parking is free with validation, however mine did not get validated correctly by the bartender. I explained to the parking attendant and he let me go. All in all, it was a decent place to talk with a friend over a glass of wine. I think it would be a nice bar if I were staying in the hotel, but not special enough to make the trip. I do think the atmosphere might be much more lovely on a summer weekend, as sitting outside by the pool would be very nice.

Being a sober girlie, I've heard about this place for years and was thrilled to finally try it so we had to order a few drinks. There's nothing quite like being able to look at a drink menu and know you can order anything from it because it's all sober friendly. They have a CBD infused drink part of the menu, a kava section and a mocktail drink section along with a food menu. The food looked delicious but we came here for a night cap after eating dinner nearby. We snagged 3 drinks- I need to check my notes on which ones we got but they were all so good. This is the type of place you can come here for a first date, date night worh your partner or co-work with your laptop. I saw all varieties of people who were doing their thang and it felt comfortable. The theme is inspired by Mac Miller and the decor is intentional and classic. Word on the street is that the 2 female owners had some disagreements with their investor so there's somewhat bad blood and that's always a bummer to hear people especially those in the sober community not be able to resolve their differences after they've made such an incredibly safe haven for us to enjoy. I get it though, some business partners are bad choices but y'all have made a beautiful experience here and I'm so grateful for it. Owners: Please don't shut this mocktail bar down ever but if you have to branch out, please do another in San Diego.

I really like the growing NA trend, and even though I drink, it's great to have an alternative, safer-feeling, and more inclusive nightlife option. I came with a couple friends on a Sunday night, about a week ago. We all drink alcohol, but we've all been drinking less lately. The place was almost empty around 8pm, which we found concerning for its prospective longevity. We also thought the prices were pretty steep -- maybe I'm biased as someone who drinks alcohol, but if I'm getting a mocktail or other NA drink, I'd like to pay less than $15+ for it. Still, I ordered the Ave Maria and thought it was one of the best mocktails I've ever had. One of my friends got the Malibu (he liked it but did complain about the price), and I don't remember what my other friend got. We sat for a while and played Connect4 using the fanciest set I'd ever seen. Some more people came in, so it didn't feel nearly as empty by the time I left. I'd probably come back, but only if I was with someone who doesn't drink and/or really wanted to try this bar. I hope they make it!
