First time visiting. Left to try another location to test the waters. Don’t even bother. First hand met the owner and hes down to earth. Dogs allowed and even given water. Try the rum runner if you get a chance, the bruschetta was awesome.

First time here and it was amazing!! We had the fried Mac and cheese burger that was on special and the Cuban sandwich. They were outstanding. And our server Sosia was super nice and even suggested their specialty drinks, Lake Water and the Mojito. It was so good!! We will definitely be back!!

Ate at 5pm when the restaurant opened on July 4th weekend. Nearly every seat was taken and yet they made room for our party of 20. All tables and booths in the same area which was amazing. Our waitress was incredible and the team of folks helping her was just as impressive. Our trips to Rathbun always have a mandatory supper @ Louise’s. Always appreciate when an owner/manager is working alongside their team. We’ve always been impressed!! Highly recommended & be patient. Supper on the lake isn’t suppose to be fast food. Get a cold drink & enjoy your company!!

My husband found this place while staying at Honey Creek Resort and it was a perfect ending to a lovely fall day. It’s located at the marina (about 5-7 minutes from the resort) and was a typical casual beach place. We had pizza and it was very good and beer was cold If you go it’s worth noting that you have to order inside both food and beverage and find yourself a table outside where you can enjoy the sunset or inside and before you know it, your food will be delivered to your table hot and ready to enjoy.

It was my birthday, a nice Sunday evening after we got done with the lake left at 2:30. it was genuinely the worst service me and my family have ever experienced. walked in and sat at a table immediately which was nice but it wasn’t busy AT ALL. had very high expectations, was greeted by a lady and asked if we were ready to order. We said not yet and we expected to have her come back in 5-10 minutes or so as you would expect at a restaurant. instead we waited about 30-40 minutes until we ASKED for someone to take our order. we were told she went on “break.” I work at a restaurant myself and you NEVER go on break unless your tables are all taken care of and they are eating. we waited another 30 minutes for our VERY unflavored food. husband said the burger tasted like the color gray. When the food came we immediately asked for the bill and we asked the lady who was helping us because mind you (our original waitress was still gone) we asked her “is the service always like this?” she said “what do you mean?” we told her our situation and she proceeded to say it was because our original waitress was on break but that is NOT an excuse to not even CHECK on your customers. She never apologized and left. Our original waitress came back in the restaurant giving us dirty looks. Somehow all the staff made us very uncomfortable and made it seem like we were in the wrong. The service would have gotten all of them fired at the restaurant i work at. we go by making our customers feel welcomed and at home, not laziness and zero accountability. I mentioned how we left the lake at 2:30 we left the restaurant at 4:55. Also, the entire time there were plenty of waiters that could have taken our order but they were standing and talking. never coming back and our night/my birthday was ruined

The restaurant runs like clockwork do to the organized, hard working, upbeat staff. The food and atmosphere are pretty awesome also.

My wife and I attended a family reunion this Labor Day week-end around Lake Rathbun, IA and, per our usual custom, wanted to seek out some unique local restaurants in an area which we had never visited before. I was attracted by the website for Louie’s Lakeside Bistro & Bar, so I gave them a call fairly early Sunday morning, and was pleasantly surprised when an actual human being answered. It turned out to be Tim, the owner, who was super friendly. He told me that they were usually not open Sunday evenings, but because of the holiday they would be, so I was definitely looking forward to checking this place out, especially after talking with Tim. So my wife and I and a few others went there for dinner, and discovered to our delight that it was EXACTLY the kind of local culinary experience we were seeking! The food was excellent, the wait staff were all friendly and engaging, and you could tell that it was a favorite dining spot for the local folks. On top of that, Tim came out to our table to chat with us, and even brought us a generous amount of paella (a family favorite of ours) which he had prepared for his OWN family that day, but graciously shared with us. (Tim, the paella was delectable, by the way!) But just to echo what is stated on their website, if you are looking for a “fancy” dining experience, this might not be the spot for you. But if you are looking for a “one of a kind” eatery with its own unique charm and character (which we definitely were), which offers a variety of fresh and flavorful dishes served by friendly folks, all set in a rustic lakeside ambience, then Louie’s is the place for you.
