Louie’s Grill and Bar

My family and friends came out here after the autism awareness walk. It’s in a great location to take a walk out by the lake. When we arrived they got our table ready we were a group of 16 all together but they were pretty quick. They only have round really high tables so it was a little awkward sitting down and you need to make sure your little ones don’t slide off because it would hurt.
So I’m waiting for our food and getting excited because I remember I can share all this with you! I took a lot of pictures but I forgot to take pictures of my own food. Wah, wah, wah…
Louise was fast with our food and got everything right no complaints there. I got the bacon avocado burger with no bun just lettuce. It was good but I felt the meat needed a little salt. They serve you a mountain of fries thinly sliced, that could be good and at the same time not because they get cold faster and you don’t get to taste the potatoe as much.
My brother-​in-​law got a Hawaiian and ham pizza he said he enjoyed it except the crust was very thin and there was More cheese then crust so it wasn’t even only distributed. My husband tried it and thought it was glorious. He got a turkey bacon croissant but he thought it was average.

When you get sick of walking around Lake Hefner and the Red Rock place is closed, this is the spot to check out. Covered in tv screens, they serve good old American food like burgers and nachos. Decent beer selection as well. We came here on a Sunday and they have $ 7 mimosa carafes. It equals about two champagne glasses so they are mini carafes.

Had the nachos, a burger, and many drinks. The food and drinks aren’t noteworthy but I feel like I ordered at least five drinks (maybe more) plus food. When I got the check, I was pretty surprised that I was going to get out of there for under $ 50 (two people). You can have a lot of fun here without doing too much damage to your wallet.
Also the view from the patio is pretty great.

It is a seat yourself place. Sat down and ten minutes later got up and left. Not one person came to our table. Not even a menu.

Great service… Friendly people. I always have a great time whenever I go. I have never tried their food so I’ll stick to four stars until further notice.

Man, Louie’s has really gone downhill quality wise. I’m not sure if it’s the fact this restaurant group is quickly expanded its portfolio and opening other successful concepts or what… But it’s like they’ve forgotten about long lost Louie’s.
I used to love coming here for a tall frosty glass of beer. Well a long time ago they did away with the tall. Now they’ve done away with the glass. Hey have PLASTIC MUGS. First of all, who goes to a bar (Louie’s is in fact a bar and grill) and gets a plastic mug. Second of all, who wants to drink out of a plastic mug on the patio by the lake?! Like. Your beer is already lukewarm by the time you get it.
The food quality has also tanked. Just mediocre food. The queso thickens minutes after it arrived making it nearly impossibly to dip. Wings fried almost dry. Flavor just meh all around.
The service was mediocre as well. Our server wasn’t friendly, she had VERY dry humor to the point where I was questioning if she was just being flat out rude. She said «well I guess he doesn’t want food since he’s just on his phone» AND WALKED AWAY. My jaw dropped and I literally just stared.
Super bummed as it used to be a go-​to.

I like Louie’s for their «Under $ 10» menu, with the majority of food items being fairly reasonable. And you get what you pay for. In this relaxed pub setting, you get generous portions of typical bar food, from burgers to pizzas to salads. Some of the items are pretty good: from the chips and salsa, fried green beans, wraps, and the BBQ chicken pizza (and I am not a usual fan of BBQ pizza!). The salads and burgers are so-​so.
The cheap food makes room for drinks being the feature of the day. And the ambiance here «On the Lake» fits that, with many television screens, and a noisy room filled with a noisy crowd. One could see this as a lively sports bar, but if you are looking for a quiet, intimate meal, you came to the wrong place.
All in all, Louie’s On the Lake is a great place, if you are looking for a lively time drinking with your buddies.

I have been to all the Louie’s and this is the only one I was disappointed with. The view is great but the servers were unfriendly. We walked in and never got greeted by anyone so we just sat down anywhere. The salsa tasted funny and the food wasn’t all that great. I prefer the one in Yukon or the one off Meridian.

Fun location to drink a few beers on a patio with your puppies and watch a lakeside sunset! Food leaves much to be desired and all items seem to be fried. Domestics are $ 2 during happy hour which is lovely while watching the sailboats float by. Great people watching from the patio!

I enjoy Louie’s patio in the summer, but the food is mediocre. We’ve had several issues with food taking up to an hour to get on Sunday’s & it’s not always hot. The manager has always, however, been very apologetic & has always resolved the issue. (We have only experienced this on Sunday’s). The biggest reason I avoid This location is that they’ve always had some kind of a sewer issue & the bathrooms smell horrible. So we stop for drinks outside & snacks, but we’ve stopped eating here.

Nice restaurant with beautiful view right by the lake. Food was delicious and not too expensive. I definitely recommend it. Great for a group or date night setting if you would like something casual.

Food was good, beer was cold. The noise level of the place was deafening and I am hard of hearing. We moved out on the patio to get some noise relief but the wind was blowing 15 to 20 mph so you couldn’t take your hands off your plates, napkins or drinks unless you wanted to lose them. The table behind us had a little trouble figuring that out so they lost everything on their table twice. Bottom line is it’s nothing special and I probably wouldn’t go back.

Had the roast beef dip with fries. It was good though What I enjoyed here most was sitting outside with a view of the lake.

Louie’s lakeside is the best Louie’s, for sure!
Lots of TVs for any sports fan, yummy food with daily specials, tall beers and good drink specials, awesome patio and perfect place to watch the sunset over some mean margaritas.
My favorite things are the queso, fried green beans, SW egg rolls, pepperoni pizza and the crispy chicken wrap. If you ever get a chance to try the French onion soup, do it! It’s my fav.
The waitstaff are awesome! I’ve come to know a lot of them from going in so much, but I rarely have an empty glass, and the food is always on point.
You can also bring your dog on the patio and they will provide a water bowl for it. I love that’s it’s dog friendly and you can stop for some eats while you’re out at the lake for a day of fun.
They also have bands on Fridays during the summertime. Lots of people come out and it’s really fun to sit in the grass and chill out to some music.

All the restaurants over here have great patios and Louie’s is no exception. It’s a great spot for a summer night to watch the sun set on the lake, and the food and drinks are decent and pretty consistent. Their pizza is some of my favorite in Oklahoma City, but the burgers and sandwiches are good too. Fried pickles and fried green beans are a must-​try if you’ve never had them! All in all, a nice place to hang out when it’s nice outside.

Met some friends for dinner. Had a cheeseburger, fries, and a Sassytini. The burger was decent, fries were cold, and the cocktail was disgusting. The cocktail was $ 7. Service was pretty good. Restaurant seemed clean.

This place is my favorite! Every other Fridays they have music band and you will enjoy the live music, sunset, and food. Their chicken nachos is always hot and fresh. I am not interested in their margaritas but their spike lemonade with rum/​vodka is really good.

It’s fine, I guess… The service was kind of flaky. We had two different servers taking our orders, providing our food, and checking up on us. Ultimately, this seemed to lead to some miscommunication; what I requested (some additional condiments) never came even after I asked both of them. The black bean burger was pretty good. In an attempt to be healthy, I opted for steamed veggies instead of fries. I will carry the dissatisfaction of that decision with me for the remainder of my existence.
I don’t have anything against chain restaurants (cue eye roll when people mention how much they dislike chain restaurants), so I think Louie’s does the job in a pinch. The nice view is a bonus, but the food manages to be forgettable even while tasting decent. This place is so standard that I’ve run out of ways to describe its standard-​ness.

Last Friday my friend and I decided to go get some queso and chips at Louis Lakeside. We wanted to sit outside and enjoy the Lake. It was such a beautiful day to do this.
We walked in and it was seat yourself. We walked onto the patio and it was packed. A couple was leaving and we took their table.
The waitress had purple hair and was not the friendliest. We knew what we wanted. My friend had a cider, water and I wanted a coke. We ordered the queso and chips at the same time. She brought us the drinks except my coke. I didn’t care at that moment I just wanted the coke with the queso and chips.
She brings out the queso and chips at this time I remind her of my coke. She tells me she has not forgotten. So I start eating the chips with queso but for me it really isn’t the same without the coke. She walks by and I remind her again about the coke. She said she knows but she has to walk to the other end of the patio to get my drink. Huh??? What!!! I have never heard of such a crazy response.
Finally she gets me my coke. The queso was luke warm when it came out so you can image how it was when I actually got my coke.
They were also doing construction on the patio. Maybe this isn’t the best time to do construction. Maybe choose December if you want to change something. My friend and I could hardly hear on another.
Very disappointing visit to this Louie’s. If you get the lady with the purple hair go to another section.

I am typically strongly opposed to chain restaurants, but for Louie’s, I have to make an exception. Their food, albeit bar food, is just really yummy! The location by the lake is my favorite place to meet friends after work for a drink or grab some refreshments on their patio after a run around the lake! I am super picky with my orders and they never give me a hard time for basically creating my own salad. It’s a fun place to watch a game, a relaxed atmosphere for a date, and a great place to go with a group!

Louie’s Lakeside is the perfect place to refuel after a fun day of running or cycling around Lake Hefner. Outside tables go quick, so you need to keep your eye out if you are out and about during a busy part of the day. The staff is friendly, the beer list is ok, and the food is pretty good like most Louie’s that I’ve visited.
This is a popular spot after work as well, so if you arrive during happy hour, there will probably be a few others there partaking in libations and taking in a beautiful view of the lake. All in all, this is a great spot to enjoy, whether you are just finishing up a jog in the area or enjoying a cocktail while watching those crazy people run or ride by over and over again! Run on by and give it a try!

Food was delicious, as always! Our server was very polite!
The only problem was that it took a lot of time. They weren’t super busy, but it took a while to get everything ordered and out.
Highly recommended, though!
