If you're looking for a great burger in Connecticut, you have to stop at Louis' Lunch. Don’t let the name fool you—they’re open from noon and, on some nights, as late as 2 a.m. Their burgers are cooked in original cast iron grills that date back over a hundred years. Why fix something that isn’t broken? Louis’ has perfected the hamburger sandwich, offering only tomatoes, onions, and cheese as toppings—no ketchup allowed, and trust me, you won’t miss it. Another standout is their homemade salads. We tried the potato salad, and it was absolutely out of this world. They also serve local brand chips and sodas, which add a unique, regional flavor to the whole experience. And don’t leave without trying a slice of their homemade pie—it’s the perfect way to end your meal. When you visit Louis' Lunch, expect warm hospitality, good friends, and a taste of tradition that’s been lovingly preserved for generations.
