Awesome place. Homemade meat made my Rueben the best Ive had. Owners are really nice. Home cut fries were longer than the fork!! Ill definitely be back.
Sweet Lous is a hidden gem of a foodie spot. Fantastic sandwich options and huge portions and fair prices. Everthing made from scratch. Great value. I got the chicken parmesan sandwich despite wanting to try half the menu. Its the best Ive had in a long time, maybe ever. The sandwich was so big and messy I almost had to eat with a fork and knife. Almost. Guy Fieri would be proud, I could easily see him doing triple D here with Chef Lou.
Sweet Lous did not disappoint!! I havent been there in 3 years (when they first opened) and the food and the atmosphere is better than I remembered! The fresh pulled mozzarella logs ...😋...the hand cut fries dipped in his delicious cheese sauce 👍👍we both also had the Sweet Lous sandwich..... on perfectly toasted homemade rye bread 😇 like heaven! Not to mention the homemade mint tea made with local fresh mint by the barista/waitress, who was just delightful, the mint tea was delicious 😋😊
A little hole in the wall, a great deli/bistro that needs to put the words lunch & dinner on their sign. We ordered a sandwich and it came out with a knife buried to the hilt upright, that big. It was divine and will definitely order it again. Ordered a chicken meal for two and it came out on a paella pan. The chicken was on top of toasted bread and the pasta was in the pan. Delicious.
We got lucky and travelled 25 minutes by way of Googles recommendation with this absolute gem. Lous the consummate chef, his attention to detail with every single ingredient is perfection. We even had the fried dough for dessert because of my childhood Catholic feast obsession. We finished with delite, satifaction guaranteed and made a reservation for Saturday night(Prime Rib Special). Cant wait.
Visited on a whim. Doesnt look like much from the outside but the food is just divine. We had the Reuben and the Fran the Narc. Never been a corned beef fan but when the chef described how they season and slow roast their own and that every element was made by them from scratch, I knew I had to try it. Not an ounce of fat anywhere, shaved corned beef piled high with insanely good garlic pickles on the best rye bread ever. The chef delivered our meals directly to our table and checked back and asked it there was anything he could do to make it better. Honestly couldnt think of one thing I would change (except maybe wet naps.....it was a little messy). Super glad we didnt make a decision based on the exterior....the aroma alone pulled us in.
2nd time to Sweet Lous, just as good as the first visit. We were there for lunch so it was not busy. Pastrami sandwich never disappoints. Seasoned perfectly, wonderful toasted, buttered bread. Turkey sandwich equally good. We drive 2.5 hours to the area periodically, always plan to go to Sweet Lous!
Food was delicious and portions were huge. Staff was attentive and very kind, will definitely be coming back. Had a great conversation with Chef Lou, he puts in a lot of effort into his food and making sure everyone he serves is happy.
Sweet Lous Deli was phenomenal. Everything from specialty Deli sandwiches to Sumptuous handcrafted meals.5 stars all the way.We enjoyed the hand breaded Mozzarella Logs with yummy Marinara sauce. These logs were mouthwatering and so gooey. Definitely a must to experience. Our main course was their Saturday special Prime rib for 2. We left with a box containing enough rib for another night.Loved the cozy atmosphere. Chef Lou and his lovely wife Donna made us feel right at home. The service and meal timing was flawless. Thank you so much.
Amazing atmosphere and people. Pastrami and corned beef is to die for! We will definitely be back to try the rest of Chef Lous creations!
Found Lou’s when looking for places for our anniversary. Reviews are extraordinary, so expectations were high. They were met.Got mozzarella logs, homemade fries, Princess Abby, and Eastwood. All were excellent. Obvious that great care and effort go into making everything.Besides great food, were taken good care of by Lou and his daughter. Got roasted pork loin dinner to go. It was wonderful as well.Believe the reviews and go.
Amazing food, service and hospitality!!!
The food was amazing....they serve dinners for 2 if you want....Its a very unique, cool place to eat....nothing fancy, very rustic ...The owners are extremely nice...The Chef Sweet Lou came to visit our table, the entire staff were very nice!! You wont be sorry if you visit here...Cant wait to go back!!
Really friendly service, and great sandwiches. Be careful how much you order because the portions are large
This place is not to be missed. The food was plentiful and delicious and the staff, including chef, delightful and welcoming. The chef brines his own pastrami and corn beef and both are rapturous. I honestly cant say enough positive things. Go and eat, you will not regret it.
I was traveling around and came across this place and its a amazing. If you are a foodie you must try this place. They have mozzarella logs are they are huge! Their mac and cheese is awesome too, large shells with lots of cheese. I swear this is Schuylervilles secret.
Hometown cooking at its best!I agree with previous reviewer, its like eating at a friends house who is a Master Chef.Quality ingredients, made well and not mass produced.Easy access, with off street parking in the rear. Chef Lou and his staff are very friendly and accommodating.Worth the trip! Well be back.
This place is amazing, every word of the hype is true. The 14-hour pulled pork is hands down the best Ive ever had. I had it in a quesadilla with cheese and caramelized onions....my goodness, magical. My grandfather was a huge fan as well, we wi definetly be back for more! Thanks, Lou!!
The owners ( sweet Lou and his wife) were absolutely amazing. The dinner was full of taste and flavor. Salad bar was very fresh and plenty to choose from. The home made ITALIAN dressing was incredible. If you want a really great dinner, you have to try Lous. You will be glad you did. Oh, bring your appetite.
This place is great, sandwiches are amazing and massive! French fries and Motz logs were great as well. Can’t wait to try more things from there. You can tell they love food!
SO GOOD.... and family run, I love that! Everyone was kind and the food was epic.
First time there today and Im impressed. The food is incredible, great portions, excellent quality and value. Cozy and clean with a friendly staff. Ill be back. Check it out, you wont be disappointed. 👍👍
Wonderful staff. Amazing food. The only bad thing I have to say is the hours are odd. If they were open longer in the evening they may get more guests. Hard for people who work until 6 and they close at 630. But overall AMAZING.
Such a great vibe and the food was fantastic. The seafood chowder has the whole ocean in it!!! Lou and Donna were so cheerful and you can tell they put their heart and soul into everything there. Even brought us a sample of their hand stretched, in house battered mozzarella sticks and they were SO good. Not sure if I can even bring myself to order mozzarella sticks anywhere else again because I know for a fact they wont even touch the quality and taste of the ones made here. Cant wait to come back!
Awesome food hugh portions friendly staff. A must go
Had the best pastrami sandwich today at Lous! Great food and great service! Meatball sub and chicken sandwich and quesadilla were amazing as well. And you have the mozzarella sticks. Need to make this a weekly stop!
Stopped here after Kayaking at FIsh Creek on a recommendation from a friend. Great sandwich with some of the best pastrami/corned beef Ive ever had. Wish I lived closer Id eat here all the time. Highly recommended.
No frills...plastic plates, byob ...but owners very nice and food good. Limited menu, One order feeds many. Sort of like eating at a friends house who is an excellent chef. Is a dog friendly place too. Calamari appetizer exceptional.
One of the best sandwiches I have ever had - grilled meatloaf -everything so fresh! My son had the Reuben - homemade sauerkraut and we shared homemade, soft, chunky, breadstick-size pretzels with homemade queso and tomato chunks. A meal in itself! If you are in New York State - heck, if you are on the east coast get over here. Lovely, welcoming atmosphere!
What can I say.....tried Sweet Lous for the first time tonight and everything was absolutley amazing!! We will for sure be back....and likely often! Chef Lou.....youre the man!!!
Best homemade sandwich around. He makes all the meat in house. Very reasonable price for the quality of food. Little place in a small town that is well worth the ride from Saratoga.
At Sweet Lous they make you feel like family. They go above and beyond to make sure that the food and service you receive is the best. Welcome home to made to order meals and incredible experience.
If you love a good Rueben, then go off your beaten path to Sweet Lous and order a Penzer Eastwood and dont forget the hand cut fries with gravy..they are outta this world!!! Def my go to place from now on!
First time at Sweet Lous. Great food! Very friendly, professional wait staff. Comfy, cozy environment. Will definitely go back!!!!
The meatloaf for 2 was more like for 4... and was absolutely delicious. My son got the Richardson Loch Ness Monster and that was hug....He has had it before and is one of his favorites.
The chef owner is the nicest guy and the homemade mozzarella sticks are awesome. Mac n cheese wasn’t what we thought it was going to be though, there’s no cheese sauce it’s just pasta with melted cheese on top.
Chef Lou is the real deal! Try one of his amazing dinner options...or do yourself a favor and get the Italian Sub for lunch. Holy mackerel! Thanks, Sweet Lou, for staying in our community!
Fantastic! Amazing home made food, good prices, and an amazing atmosphere. Lou makes you feel welcome and brings a smile to your face! Its all about the food.
Got the prime rib dinner for 2 last night for take out! It was amazing and a ton of food. Highly recommend.
The food was outstanding and prices are very reasonable. If want great food and a nice atmosphere this is the place to go. The chef was awesome and a great guy. The secret of Schuylerville.

2021-04-22This was our first time here. Service was prompt and personable. The chef came out a couple times to ask How are our food was. The waitress was very attentive.The food, omg so delicious. Those mozzarella sticks were the best we’ve ever had ( better than Old Byran Inn) so big.Hubby and I both went with corn beef sandwiches. Mine also had pastrami, delicious. I brought most of mine home. Couldn’t resist eating both my mozzarella sticks.We’re definitely going back 😋

2021-04-02Love this place. The Penzer Eastwood ( Ruben samwich) and the Richardson Loch Ness ( pulled pork samwich) are amazingly full of flavor and must weigh a pound each. Trying the Prime rib dinner for 2 next week.
