Louie’s Family Dining

One of the local Louies chain of restaurant, right in downtown New Haven. Ample parking along the side and out back, with a street side entrance, as well as a rear parking lot entrance.
I met my dining partner on Saturday, around noon. With a full menu, they serve breakfast anytime. I ordered a country omelet with hash browns, and my dining partner ordered three eggs with hash browns and corned beef. Our meals were superb, served by one of the two gals on wait staff. A pleasant experience, indeed.
Since my last visit, they now serve alcoholic drinks. With a full bar, happy hour every Monday thru Thursday from 10:00am to 6:00pm with domestic beers going for $ 1.75.
Wi-​fi available, although I did not use it.

Where to start with this restaurant first of all this is a bigger restaurant with no air conditioning and the owners refuse to fix it. Customers complaining that it is HOTTER in the restaurant than it is outside. The waitresses suffer serving food while sweating up a storm. Second of all the cooks use every shortcut possible warming up your to go food in the microwave in a styrofoam container. By them doing this all the chemicals from the container go into your food which is HORRIBLE for your health or another shortcut they use is warming up soup in the mircowave in NON microwavable containers which causes chemicals to go into the food you enjoy not even knowing that they do this. I have witnessed the cooks touch all the food with their hands not wearing gloves to keep the GERMS away. The owners dont even check the dates on their milk or juice products serving milk to children that has been out of date for OVER one month. The owners dont even want to spend money to fix a few small holes near the windows where ants are coming through, having trails of ants ALL OVER the counters and ALL OVER the floor where crumbs have fallen. Just for the owners to save money they will poor decaf coffee in the regular pot just so they can save themselves from making a new pot. I even heard customers telling the owners that go through waitresses almost every week and also saying to them «what do you do to these waitresses»
