Louis Lunch New Haven CT - Order at the Counter - Birthplace of the Hamburger - Photo

The birthplace of the hamburger keeps ordering simple with a very limited menu.

You'll still find hamburgers on the menu at Louis' Lunch... and not much more. There are plenty of non-alcoholic beverage options, and there's usually potato salad, which is loaded with big chunks of potato and quite good. Check the blackboard for a selection of homemade pies and other desserts; the blueberry pie is especially good. Tuna sandwiches are available on Fridays, and soup is on the menu seasonally. Louis' stays open until 2 a.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and you'll sometimes find late-night menu additions such as hotdogs and steak sandwiches.
