EAST LANSING - Lou and Harry's has returned to downtown East Lansing.

The restaurant opened at 211 E. Grand River Ave. last week at the former location of Woody's Oasis.

"We've been wanting to get back to East Lansing for a while now," said owner Scott Rolen. "We're excited to have food and drink back there."

Lou and Harry's, a Greek-style diner, opened a location downtown in 2006 on near the corner of Albert and M.A.C. avenues. It closed five years ago after the owners decided to open a sports bar on Chandler Road, Rolen said. That location is also closed. Lou and Harry's also has a location at 1429 W. Saginaw St. in East Lansing and 119 S. Washington Square in downtown Lansing.

The new location is only one to serve alcohol with 18 beers on draft and an array of liquor, Rolen said. Two new menu items have also been added - Greek fries and saganaki.

Lou and Harry's will have a grand opening on March 17 for St. Patrick's Day.
