Mike’s Food for Thought – Lou-Lou’s
Posted by Dustin Horton // June 14, 2011 // Articles
This week I ate at LOU-LOU’S located at 13 Groton Ave. Cortland. They are open for Lunch
Tuesday-Friday 11:30AM-2PM and Dinner Wednesday-Saturday 5PM-9PM. They do have takeout also. Dinner is served with soft Italian bread and salad. The thing about Lou-Lou’s that struck me was their menu. They have some very different items such as Lou-Lou’s Riggies-tender pieces of chicken simmered in a spicy tomato cream sauce with green, cherry, and jalepeno peppers. Molotov pasta which is penne pasta in a creamy wing sauce with breaded buffalo chciken and crumbly blue cheese. Sirloin amore which is the house sirloin topped with garlic cheese sauce. An unusual appetizer is the Beans and Greens bread-white beans, garlic, and spinach on grilled flatbread, topped with fresh mozzarella. Other appetizers include toasted ravioli, fire fries, and beer battered
mozzarella sticks to name a few.
They also serve several types of burgers. The house burger is an 8 ounce hand pressed patty topped with cheddar, provolone, american, swiss or pepperjack. Their sandwiches include homemade meatball, breaded chicken breast, or hot sausage. They are served on Italian bread, smothered in a house red sauce and melted cheese.
Lou-Lou’s has several nice salads too. One, the Pub bowl is buffalo chicken pieces, tomatoes, cucumbers, cheddar cheese, and mixed greens. The steak and bleu salad-sliced sirloin, red onions, roasted red peppers and crumbly bleu cheese, very delicious.
I also liked their kid menu which consisted of grilled cheese, chicken fingers and sloppy joes all served with fries or applesauce. I thought the edition of sloppy joes was a great idea for a kid.
The lunch menu offered some unusual items too. Such as the Verrazano-roast beef, roasted reds, and garlic cream on garlic toast.The hot tomato which is a grilled cheddar cheese sandwich with tomato and bacon. Or the Roaster, which is hot roast beef, pepperjack cheese, and mayo served on a grilled soft roll. Lou-Lous seems to have something for everyone. Try it out. It’s very tasty food.
