Lou's Drive In No.2 - North Highlands

Having had the chance to eat here multiple times, I think it's time to give my honest opinion. First and foremost, the sides and shakes are delicious! The milkshakes are thick and Lou's has a wide variety of flavors that you can mix and match with. One of my personal favorites to mix is Nutella. Additionally, the onion rings and mozzarella cheese sticks are of a good portion, crunchy, and ooze with flavor. I can wholeheartedly endorse the sides and shakes for being affordable -and- delicious. The burgers I must admit fall a touch short of their sides; however, that is not to say that the burger is bad. The flavor is good and between the variety of options and the customization, they do make up some ground to match the sides and shakes. I would highly recommend coming here at least once to get a rich shake, some fries/onion rings, and a solid burger to match, especially because this establishment is a local business. One last tip is that sometimes due to the lunch rushes and the like, I would try and call ahead when possible to shorten the wait. Happy eating!

Visited this place for the first time on the 23rd. I'd been hearing some good things about Lou's so I arrived with somewhat high expectations. The drive-in design used by the restaurant is a cool, super convenient way to enjoy your meal in the comfort of your own space while being steps away from the order window. I ordered a double cheeseburger and small fries with water. The burger was fantastic, with the flavor and quality delivered being on par with something you might expect and In-N-Out. The fries were crisp and well salted. The main drawback from this place in my opinion is the price. My order cost me about $16, and that was only for a double cheeseburger, fries and water. Can get the exact same thing at INO for half that price. They also charge a fee for paying with a debit card, which is pretty annoying. All in all, I like this spot. Don't expect a cheap bite though.

Best Burger in Sacramento... Awesome service and friendly staff. Made while you wait...Not fast food, but worth every penny.

A classic local spot. Good burgers, great shakes. An icon in the community.

Just like I remember Great!!!!! Absolutely in Burger Heaven Right Now
