So after reading the rave reviews my husband and son decided to go here when we were on vacation in Monterey. We were going to the aquarium on a Sunday morning so we decided to have breakfast there before we went. We got there at 9a.m. and the place was packed and there was a waiting list. I added my...

Our expectations were high, after reading the reviews. We were not disappointed! We had dinner, calamari and fish tacos. It was so good we went back for breakfast, which was also very good. Being the middle of the week, there was no line, but the place was filled. The service was great, friendly and they genuinely cared about us. If... More

We enjoyed the wait staff (very friendly), the food and the great venue on the municipal pier. It's clean, funky, relaxed and fun. The prices for dinner weren't cheap, so we had the burgers. They were homemade and delicious and the salad was fresh and excellent. No complaints whatsoever. Try it, you'll like it!

Had a great Mother's Day breakfast at Loulou's. Breakfast was tasty and our waitress was great! My husband ordered 3 pancakes and the waitress told him that only two or three people have ever eaten 3 pancakes....so he ordered 2. Yep, he got one down. They are HUGE!

Unique location on a pier in Monterey harbor. You can drive out on the pier. Massive pancake, wonderful potatoes. Due to huge portions, consider sharing, eat half the meal each - Plenty!!!! This immediate area uses parking machines, easy purchase via credit card or cash, place token in auto window.

When my husband first suggested this place, I was dubious, but I was also very hungry and that was enough to keep me open minded. The place was busy when we got there, but they took down our cell and called us once the table was ready, which allowed us to get in a short walk down the pier before... More

We stopped in Monterrey on our way to Big Sur. I had done my Tripadvisor homework and had planned for lunch at Lou Lou's. We sat at the bar inside and watched the kitchen staff crank out one good looking meal after another in that tiny kitchen. We ordered the Calamari, as recommended, and it was amazing. Our waitress gave... More

I don't know how they have been rated #1. After reading the reviews, we couldn't wait to try them out. The food is on the level of Long John Silvers, and the service is Very average. The only thing I can say is, they are in the middle, and they have a nice view of the bay. Really?

Went there with wife and two kids aged 5 and 7. Took a little time to get a seat on a Sunday but was worth the wait. Very small space but very big pancakes! Solid place to get fed well.
