What User doesn't like about Lou's Drive-in:
Have visited 2 times this year and both visits were bad. The root beer had a mildew taste. The hot dogs were flavorless (even a 5 year old wouldn’t eat it) and tasted reheated. The cheeseburger bun was dried out and the burger was WAY over done. Lou would be ashamed. We gave them 2 tries, and hate to give up a long time treat, but we won’t go back. View all feedback. What User likes about Lou's Drive-in:
Great nostalgic experience of the old entrance restaurants of the past. Great selection of foods and do not miss on the root beer in the cold large cups, a true treat! The staff is always beautiful and the location is right in front of Knoxville with easy entry and exit and lots of parking. A great time for the whole family! View all feedback.

Service was horrible. Andrea took my order and was extremely nasty the entire time, even going as far as mildly fat shaming me. She single handedly ruined my da...
