    Cute place but not intimate. Kind of sports bars-y. Drinks a bit expensive and bland. Good lavash. Give it a try.

    Went to Lou Lou’s in Middletown. Everyone here was so friendly and right on point. The food was delicious and the service (Casey) was outstanding. The manager stopped by our table a few times to say “Hi”. One of the servers even ran out to the parking lot as we were leaving to give us our hand sanitizer we had left on the table. Can’t wait to go back. Best Hot Brown ever‼️
