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.
