I hadn’t been back to Louie’s since living on North Campus but last night I had a serious greasy food craving so obviously Louie’s was the answer. It was just as delicious as I remember! Definitely yet the chicken fingers, mozz sticks, or Cajun fries. Basically anything fried is a winner… Enjoy the freshman 15!

I have nothing but the fondest of memories of many a late night at Louie’s Lunch in college. I miss this food truck terribly, and would make the 4.5 hour ride up to Ithaca just to get their cheeseburger, Cajun fries, and peanut butter milkshake. Gonna have to do that soon as a matter of fact!

Surprisingly good food from a greasy old(now somewhat new) truck. Even though the quality of some ingredients isn’t the best, what they add to it makes(sauces, chili, etc.) the food really taste good. Do not get the XXX sauce on anything. It’s got just a little too much of something and it will destroy you Yankees. X and XX are just right and very tasty. One thing that would make Louie’s better would be online ordering. They are sometimes too busy to take phone orders. Good brownies and cookies too.

Louis’ let my dog into their truck to warm up in the 0 degree night. Not only were they personable, but they cooked an incredible cheesesteak instantly! I’m from Philadelphia, and I assure you that Louis’ has the only worthwhile cheesesteak in Ithaca.

As far as greasy, convenient food goes, one can’t really ask for much else. The offerings cover all late-night bases from«bored of studying» to «bored of the terrible party occurring at Zeta Psi.» Being from Buffalo, I consider myself pretty good at spicy food, and yet getting the maven fries at heat level XXX was deeply regrettable. 0⁄10 would not recommend

Louie’s Lunch is a staple in the Cornellian diet. This janky looking red truck across the street from the lair of the archies(aka Risley) comes with a cute doggie to pet outside while you wait for your food. Get the cajun fries, the double bacon cheeseburger, the mavin, or chicken parm. My wife and kids is also amazing for a breakfast sandwich. Also, it may sound really cool to be THAT guy and get the«XXX» hot sauce and try to be really manly as you crush it, the tears and the agony on the toilet afterwards is probably not worth the agony(*challenge accepted*). Miss this place…

I like their Philly steak, milk shake. And it’s really a convenient place to get food for North campus. And it’s nice they open during the day for lunch too. just the chef was mean to me and my friend once… and it’s always a long wait for food…

I had such high hopes for this place. I was walking around Cornell and always wanted to try one of the food trucks. I ended up finding this one, so I figured I’d give it a shot. I was totally in the mood for a grilled cheese, so I ordered it. When I got it, however, the bread was REALLY burned. Like, the bread was completely black. But I mean, the cheese was good, I guess. I could have done a better job myself. However, I give this place two stars, because 1) the guys working the truck were really friendly. 2) I’d be willing to try another food item from this truck. Maybe grilled cheese just isn’t their thing.

The best food truck on campus. The cajun fries are a MUST. Good hamburgers, good cheesesteaks, good hot dogs. Not necessarily so good for the health— but luckily, Helen Newman gym is right next door!

My husband and I graduated from Cornell 12 years ago, and moved away from Ithaca, but occasionally one of us will still say, «I could really go for a half-buf R,» or «A Tully burger would really hit the spot right now!» We miss Louie’s!

I always look forward to coming here when I run out of food in my room but think it’s a little expensive for their subs which have literally only 4 to 5 small pieces of meat inside the bread.(A sub is about $ 7) So, I started getting their chicken fingers with a mix of bbq and hot sauce instead since I can skip the bread and have more meat while saving $ 2. The cajun fries are a little soggy but I still like them. Their milkshakes are so good, I definitely recommend them. A small is more than enough for me and only $ 3 or so.

Ron runs the *best* lunch-truck on Cornell Campus. Good comfort food, super-nice staff,(full disclosure: Louie’s has employed several dorm-mates & friends over the years), *great* late hours, convenient location. Hot-Truck ain’t got nothing on Louie’s Lunch.

Man oh man, I have definitely enjoyed my experiences at Louie’s. First visit was during freshman orientation and since then I’ve decided my favorites are: Peanut butter/chocolate ice cream milkshake Buffalo chicken sub(I’m scared to try XXX, but get it as hot as you can stand) Grilled ham and cheese on wheat with hot apple cider(YES) Not sure you can really go wrong with much of anything here. It’s good for drunk food, good for when you forget dinner, and good for when you’re in between performances at Risley and Nasties is too far(and so subpar in comparison). But eat it sparingly or you’ll have a heart attack.

Being one of two grease trucks in Ithaca, you can’t really expect much. Although the food is delicious and great for late night food it’s definitely not the best I’ve ever had. I definitely wouldn’t go out of my way to grab something for lunch or dinner. The place does have a pretty big selection and the employees are super nice! 3 stars for good food and quick friendly service. I suggest sticking to the non fried foods(besides the Cajun fries!) and get their burgers, phillies, or burger subs.

I get the cheeseburger to fill my stomach(its fine — very standard cheeseburger, usually a bit overdone, inexpensive as such a cheeseburger should be). However, the main reason why this fine truck warrants five stars are their delicious french fries, which must have a secret ingredient(crack-cocaine? tears of angels?) to make them as tasty as they are. I prefer them plain, which bring out their flavor, although Cajun Fries are good too(the ones with the hot sauce are kind of nasty — the sauce is way too vinegar-y to be able to finish the whole bag). I’ve heard their shakes are good too.

Philly Cheese Steak, Chicken Parm, Cajun Fries, Hot sausage parm… I can go on but you get the idea. All the Louie’s girls are friendly and hot and truly don’t get enough tips for the amount of work they actually do on a busy Friday night(I would know, I go out with one of them). The owner, Ron is really friendly if you get to know him. Not sure of what to get? Ask and you won’t be disappointed.

I’m cravin the maven! Formerly a secret menu item: a sub with chicken strips, buffalo sauce, melted cheese, bleu cheese dressing, BBQ sauce, lettuce, and tomato. The Natewich: bagel, fried egg, turkey, cheese, mayo, tomato. All the milkshakes rock. They can easily mix and match flavors, so go nuts. Call ahead, if you can. If they don’t pick up, there’s probably an atrociously long line, so man it up and walk down there.

MILKSHAKES: I used to ask them to combine the chocolate and peanut butter = Reese’s Peanut Butter flavor. Divnie. BURGER: The best veggie burger(with all the trimmings and fluffy bun) I had ever found in Ithaca… though sometimes the mushroom texture reminded me of real meat. GRILLEDCHEESE: Must eat quickly before the foil traps the moisture and makes the crispy grilled bread go soft. Quite yummy. SERVICE: Always friendly, all the time. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION:… but even when that wasn’t the selling point, I’d drive to it. Call-ahead option helped. LIke the t-shirts say: «Doin’ it in a truck since 19XX»
