Okay, this is it, this week we’re eating the last two items on the Lou’s menu and then we’ll have eaten our way through the entire Lou’s Drive-In menu! It’s the Lou’s Last Supper!
Let’s go and pick up our last two items from Lou’s Drive-In.

The Lou’s Drive-In Sunday Palate Cleanser: Week Number Twelve: The final Meal!
Here we are for the twelfth and final visit to Lou’s Drive-In for the summer of 2026!
After a short wait, we placed our final order up here at the Lou’s Island window.
There’s just one lone diner here at the outside dining area. That’s a little sad!
Okay, we’ve got our final dinner order and the Lou’s Drive-In sign is pointing us back to the MBIP World Headquarters for one last time this summer!

Here’s the last bag containing the last two items of our Lou’s Drive-In journey.
And here they are, let’s unwrap them and see what we’ve got here.
Here’s the first item, a Chili-Cheese Tamale.
I assumed when I ordered this that the chili and the melted cheese would come in two tubs and we could apply them to the hot tamale, but that’s not the case.
They put the chili and melted cheese on the tamale and then put a cardboard container on top of it for a lid. This caused the lid to absorb some of the chili and cheese and while I tried to scrape some of it back on to the tamale, it was kind of a mess.
The few bites I had with equal amounts chili and cheese were tasty and had more zing and flavor than last week’s hot tamale, but…
The end of the tamale is void of all chili and cheese! They really need to re-think the Chili-Cheese Tamale and start using the little tubs instead of pouring it on top of the to-go order.
The final item of our Lou’s menu eating journey is a Corn Dog. Here it is in all it’s naked beauty, but we must add something to it…
Mustard! You have to add mustard to a Corn Dog, it’s just the rules!
This is a tasty Corn Dog and it’s perfectly cooked.
This now concludes our eating of the entire Lou’s Drive-In menu for the summer of 2026!

The Menu
Okay, every item on our Lou’s Drive-In menu has been consumed!
This was a fun and tasty journey and now it’s all over! And as we noted on the original post back in May, some items were left off on our custom made Lou’s menu and you can read about that here. Just scroll down to the menu section of that post.

The Final Ratings
Here’s the best to worst of all of the items on our Lou’s Drive-In menu.
I will say that I recommend everything on this list except fo the Fish Filet and the Boca Burger. Those are the only two items I’ll never order again!

The Lou’s Drive-In Suggested Meal
My three favorite items from this Lou’s Drive-In journey were the Vanillam Malt, The Chili-Cheese Fries (note the chili and cheese in separate tubs) and the Chili-Cheese Dog.
If you truly want the best that Lou’s Drive-In has to offer, I think this is the meal you should order! In my humble opinion, of course!
And now, the sun sets on Lou’s Drive-In for another season for me! See you in 2027, Lou’s Drive-In!
Now that this is over, what are we going to do on Sundays for the rest of the bar crawl tour, you may be wondering. Well, tune in next week to find out!
