Since 1895, Louis' Lunch in New Haven, CT has been serving a classic hamburger sandwich to customers from across the United States. Family owned and operated, we are currently run by the 4th generation and are one of the oldest, family-run businesses in the country. Our restaurant prides itself on staying true to the family history and continuing to preserve the past for future generations.
Recognized by the Liberty of Congress as the Birthplace of the Hamburger Sandwich, Louis' Lunch has been featured in many print and television spots, including: The Travel Channel, The Food Network, Zagat, Food and Wine Magazine, among many others.
Louis' Lunch is committed to serving a classic hamburger that is made with a proprietary blend of five cuts of meat, ground fresh daily. We want you to experience the meat's true flavor, so we serve it on white toast and only offer cheese, onion, and tomato as garnishes.
