OK fellow foodies, our latest get-together, which I have cleverly dubbed the Second Quarterly Food Frenzy Foodie Fest, is set for this Friday at 6:30 p.m.
We’re chowing down at Lou’s Red Oak BBQ, aka Lou’s Oak Oven BBQ, 21501 Brookhurst St., Huntington Beach. The phone number is 714-965-5200, and you can click here to read their menu.
Everyone is welcome, and feel free to bring a friend, significant other, kids, etc. Hope to see you there!

lou’s = not good.
we’re going to find out. you should come with if you’d like.
Jonathan doesn’t sound very enthusiastic, my friend.
everyone including the waitress said get tri tip…..blah. they do load you up on freebies though - pretzel bites, choc chip cookies. once was enough though. i’ll be reading the group review for sure.
The fact that they don’t serve baby back ribs should tell you something……….I went there once with some friends……once was enough!
I love baby backs, but the lack of them at a BBQ restaurant does not preclude a good meal.
Years ago, Elmer Dill’s gave Lou’s a stellar review. I can’t wait to see what our Foodies think!
Well, looks like this review will inspire some strong opinions. Place has 4 stars on Yelp, but several people seem to think it’s terrible - I’m guessing it’s going to wind up somewhere in the middle.
I go to Lou’s on a regular basis…it is not terrible. The food is very good, especially the tri-tip.
Plus anyone who judges BBQ on the worst rib, Baby Backs, should not be listened to when it comes to BBQ. Baby Backs are for the Chili’s crowd
I think I went to Lou’s a long time ago with my mother in law for brisket, but I won’t know for sure until we get there and I can see the place.
Personally, I judge a BBQ place by their brisket and prefer Texas style beef ribs to baby backs, so that’s not really a deal killer to me.
Lou’s has Santa Maria-style BBQ, which means a dry rub. The only ribs they have are St. Louis ribs, no baby backs or beef ribs. They do have tri-tips, which I seem to remember being pretty good. It’s been a few years since I’ve been there. Pretty good food, but not great. Good alternative to Lucille’s or Claim Jumper.
