I've only had breakfast there, multiple times, always enjoy the food and have had good service. Great food with choices that go beyond the "midwestern farmers' breakfast" so typical of the area. more

Lou Henri is a restaurant that cares more about personal freedom/expression than it does expedience. It is a bohemian-like must visit. Have fun with it and make sure to say hi to Jeff, the owner. He is a unique human being. Oh, the food is good too. more

Lou Henri's serves some of the best food in town...a unique menu, with items prepared from fresh ingredients. Jeff, the owner, is friendly and welcoming, and the wait staff are 'real' people, not the 'Hi-I'm-your-server' robots in the chain places. This restaurant should be on everyone's Not-To-Be-Missed-in-Iowa-City list! more

Fantastic breakfast...fresh, and worth a bit of a wait. more

The food here is pretty good, be sure to sit outside when you come, the atmosphere inside is lacking, but there are a few tables outside and it's a nice place to enjoy a breakfast, which is by far the meal to choose if you go here. more

Lou Henri is a good place to go for a breakfast in I.C. The one-eyed jack, the hash browns, the pancakes, everything we've eaten there has been very tasty. Vegetarian and vegan friends love it and so do friends who like some meat. Family friendly and the prices are very reasonable. Drawbacks: the service and ambiance is a little bit...... more
