This place confuses me and here's why: when its dead, the food comes out absolutely horrible, burnt, and no flavor. The waitresses and bartenders can care less about you and the service. However, when the place is packed and wall to wall people, the food comes out amazing and you have the best service. Weird? Uh yea. Not only that but sometimes they dont even have everything on the menu stocked.
When they have a band playing it is so loud that you want ear plugs. I'm in my 20s and feel like I'm in my 80s saying this but it's true! It sucks to have to shout to the person right next to you.
$1 burgers on tuesdays are good except if you want anything added on you have to pay extra but still, it's a good burger. The spinach artichoke dip is another great pick, as well as the hummus.
It's a good spot to go with a group of people to grab something to eat in a reasonable price range as compared to some of the other restaurants with bars.
update: Â ok, I have since tried this Bar Louie location at Mohegan Sun at least 7 times. I absolutely hate writing negative reviews unless they deserve it. It's a shame more restaurants don't pay attention to social media or sites like Yelp so they can IMPROVE their service.
I've ordered the fried Louie burger 3 different times. I like my burgers medium rare, but twice my burger came out well done and once it was RAW. But, I hate sending food back unless I find a hair. Twice my fries were cold.
I tried their loaded fries. The fries are not fresh cut. NO where on the menu does it say the loaded fries come with diced hot peppers. Mine were loaded with hot peppers and not scallions like the menu said. Is there anyone in the kitchen inspecting the food before it leaves the kitchen? Do they care??
One time we sat at a table and waited 30 MINUTES for a server to come by with a menu. It was on a weekend but after 10 so there were plenty of empty tables. NO one even came by with a menu or asked if we wanted drinks. We left and went to Johnny Rockets instead.
Last night we ordered a few appetizers. The bacon cheeseburger sliders were decent, but there were NO onion straws on them like the menu stated. Again, does anyone in the kitchen know the menu or check the food leaving the kitchen? The buns were almost double the size of the burgers too.
We also ordered the adobe shrimp skewers. The menu said they came with avocado-mango salsa. There was NO avocado anywhere on the plate. There were 4 cubes of mango and a spoonful of diced tomatoes...does that equate to avocado-mango salsa? I think not. The shrimp were very small and stone cold, but I'm not sure if they were suppose to be served hot or cold since they were on top of a salad. Lastly, we ordered the pot stickers. WHAT were they thinking!?? They came out deep fried!! The menu clearly says, "pan-seared". I eat pot stickers a lot when I go out and make them at home. They are NOT suppose to be deep fried. Wow...what a poor experience. Three plates at the same table on the same night and nothing was what it was suppose to be. One the plus side, the server last night was very nice.
