Louie’s Bistro & Grill

The best thing I can say is that the Bud Light was cold. The Blue Moon was warm. We stopped for a late lunch on a Friday afternoon and ordered sandwiches. The steak sandwich was terrible!!! Rubbery and severely undercooked. I ordered a Cuban but wish I would have chose something else. It’s a cute little restaurant on the lake but very simple. Don’t expect too much. On a bright note, our waitress was very nice and we had good service.

Good meal. Service was decent. Earlier in night so not a lot of other people. Our table started with an artichoke appetizer. Most of our table ordered the NY strip, I tried to to substitute for a baked potato and was told that wash not an option. A «smashed» potato showed up. So, indirectly able to meet my request. They didn’t have a kids meal but here able to make a few kids options. My kids shared a pepperoni pizza and they both really enjoyed it. Overall a decent meal and good service. Probably be back next time we are down this way…

Fabulous dinner! Smoked chicken with a side of sautéed green beans and a barbecue/​mustard sauce. I thought we’d have lots of leftovers from our two half chicken orders, but all we left with was a leg and wing because it was so good! Friendly people, lake vibe, & great service. Recommend Louie’s highly.

It appears I had a totally different experience from the other reviewers! There were 3 in our party and we ordered sandwiches (lunch). When we inquired what other sides were available (besides fries) the waitress seemed perplexed and finally answered «chips». Then I asked if we could please substitute a side salad for the fries and she checked and said «yes». Side salad was actually amazing in that it was a spring mix with tomatoes and good Ranch dressing. The sandwiches not so great; my jalapeño burger (actually a double) was dry. The steak sandwich was tough. And I now forget the 3^rd person’s sandwich but nothing that made him want to return either. No refills on drinks whether it was ice tea or water. When the bill arrived we were charged $ 8.95 for each sandwich and $ 3.00 for each side salad. I asked if we wouldn’t receive some credit for not having fries, again the waitress seemed clueless as to what I was asking. We all concluded — we’ve had better but we’ve also had worse … no reason to ever return.

This is a hidden gem of a restaurant. While it doesn’t look much like a bistro the food was excellent! I had the chicken spedini and my husband had ribs, both exceeded our expectations. Friendly servers and overall a good experience in this lake town eatery.

If you love fall-​off-​the-​bone baby back ribs this is your place! Many other great menu items as well. Have been coming here for years. Now June 2015 and what I said back then still applies! Half order ribs is usually just enough. Enjoy…
