Crema's Take

This cozy Louisville gem serves up genuine Southern comfort food with the kind of attentive service that makes you feel like a regular on your first visit. The seafood-forward menu shines with crispy crab cakes, creamy shrimp and grits, and bold flavors like bayou jambalaya, making it an unexpectedly delightful find for anyone craving authentic Low Country cooking. It's the perfect spot to linger over coffee and breakfast with friends, or return for an evening when you want warmth, good conversation, and food that actually delivers on its promises.

Nice spot for a meal. My waitress was helpful and attentive. A lot of seafood on the menu. Limited for vegetarian options, but they are clearly marked. Clean restroom with hand lotion. So extra salty but it was good anyways.

My wife and I went to Lou Lou’s for lunch on Valentine’s Day while in town for a wedding. Everything was delicious…from the hush puppies , wings and grits, to the red beans and rice, cocktails and bread pudding! Even better than the food was our server, Tiffany! She was kind, attentive, and friendly. Definitely check it out when you’re in town!

Spent a fun evening at Lou Lou on Market and had some delicious food. As those of you who read my reviews, I am usually pretty solid at making good picks. When a work trip to Louisville had my wife and I looking to test the restaurant scene, this was my first pick. Absolute winner. Lou Lou has several locations with slightly differing menus. The Market St location was oustanding. Great location with cajun theme and relaxed dining. The service was excellent and the local young lady who served us was wonderful. My wife and I started with the crab bisque which was fantastic. A little more chowdery with the loads of crab meat, this is a winner. My wife had the Shrimp and Grits while I had the Blackened Redfish. We shared bites of each. Equally delicious but I must say the Blackened Redfish was AWESOME. We finished our meal with Beignet's for a deliciois sweet treat. If you are in the area, check out Lou Lou. Yum!

Great little unexpected find in Louisville KY! We had the crispy crab cake, shrimp and creamy grits with fried okra, bayou jambalaya and bourbon bread pudding (no pecans 😢). Service was attentive and very friendly. Plenty of seating on the first floor and second floor. A definite must when visiting Louisville.

Lou Lou’s was exactly what we were looking for in Southern cuisine. First, the service was incredibly friendly, and our server’s recommendations were spot-on. And the food wow. We ordered the blackened redfish, and it was honestly one of the best fish dishes I’ve ever had. We also tried the seafood pasta, which could have used a bit more shrimp, but was still delicious. Both the Old Fashioned and the Tom Collins were absolute perfection. Highly recommend!
