Louie's Cafe

Great location, really nice people, and very accommodating, and they have some dishes on the menu that are great, and some that are OK. They are consistent, which is a good. Their pancakes were underwhelming, but I am a pancake connoisseur so there’s that. It seems like they’re savory dishes and sandwiches stand out more. Biscuits and gravy eggs Benedict club sandwich are things I’ve had and are good.

It is an American restaurant. My boyfriend got chicken strips and fries. The chicken strips were a little overcooked. The waitress took the chicken strips off the check. That was nice. My son got a hamburger and fries. He had no complaints. My daughter got the fish and chips. She liked it. I got the pancakes. They were good. My kids had the strawberry lemonade. The drink had some crushed up strawberries on the bottom, underneath the ice. The glasses that they came in was canning jars. I got Rootbeer and you are given the Rootbeer bottle and the canning jar with ice. They have very limited seating. They had the people to wait outside to be seated. We waited outside like less than 5 minutes. It is a small restaurant. Overall, they had good food, and very nice staff.

Interesting place. Outdoor lobby to wait for a table, wait time 2 minutes on a Tuesday morning in November. Once we were seated the server was very nice and helpful. The place was packed but we got our drinks and breakfasts fast. The food was just OK. We had sausages (I had turkey, hubby had regular), scrambled eggs, hash browns and toast for hubby, I had 2 pancakes. All just meh. Sort of like I imagine you get at Denny's, no wow factor. It just hit the spot. Nothing 'wrong' here, just not sure I would return.

Breakfast at Louie's. After really enjoying the service and food 5 years ago, this was our first food stop and after all this time it is still great.
I had the breakfast wrap that was loaded with eggs, hashbrowns (just enough but not to much) bacon, onion and cheese in a thin, toasted wrap. Perfect mix of ingredients seasoned well and thoroughly enjoyed.
Diane had the simple eggs, sausage, hashbrowns and toast. Once again, well seasoned and tasty. This is by far our favorite place we've tried so far on Leavenworth. Please check out our food site at EATWELLTRAVELOFTEN on Facebook.

We stopped in at 11am on Saturday and though Diane wanted breakfast I wanted lunch, so when the server said breakfast only until 12 I went to take the menus back to the counter. Karen, the owner, said they would take care of me so we stayed. Good choice. I had the club sandwich on sourdough and Diane had french toast with bacon and eggs. Everything was fresh and wonderful but one of the things that made the lunch enjoyable was the personal service. Karen greeted every customer and personaly checked on each one. Lunch was busy and hecktic but she not only worked it with a pleasant smile but with an attitude that Diane mentioned showed that she truely loved what she was doing. This one comes highly recommended!

We had raspberry mimosa, Bloody Mary, Monti cristo and half California Benedict. Everything was pretty good. Hash browns could have been cooked a little bit more but it wasn’t the star so mot a big deal. The drinks were better than expected.

I arrived outside at the hostess desk. After about 2 min hostess arrived. My service dog was not identified, expecting the heat, not a requirement for admission. She asked what service my dog provides. I explained that Sugar, boxer mix, is trained to assist me when I fall, as I fall a lot. The hostess said, just a minute and went back inside. After five long minutes the hostess still hadn't returned. We chose to leave. We did not feel welcome.

It has been long time since I've completely cleaned my plate at a restaurant and mad the obligatory "wheel me around in a wheelbarrow" joke.

I had the breakfast wrap, my wife had the breakfast sandwich. The hashbrowns were cooked to a crisply perfection, and the eggs were amazing. Simple ingredients that come together in blissful elegance.

If you want breakfast in Leavenworth, this is where you want to go.

In the heart of Leavenworth, the location is excellent. Paid street parking is available in front of the restaurant however it's extremely limited. The restaurant is broken up into two sides. You simply wait at the door and someone will greet you and seat you where they have room. Sitting next to the door will be a pretty gold experience as people come and go. Their website is pretty outdated and shows items they no longer serve so be sure to check their current menu for offerings. They have a kid's lunch and breakfast menu. The kid's menu items are $9 each. The service is nice and the staff is friendly. We had a waffle with strawberries and whipped cream, eggs Benedict, and kids' french toast. The waffle was OK and a bit soggy. The eggs Benedict was fine however the hashbrowns were cold. Things to note: the orange juice is tart and is similar (maybe it is?) To the kinds that come from the hotel machines. The creamer with coffee is the Nestlé creamers that are placed on the table. The check will come and you can simply tick a box with a preset gratuity and total for you or you can enter a custom tip. Overall, it was just OK.

Had a great breakfast here. We had just gotten into town and decided to give Louie's a try. Their breakfast was pretty good and recently priced. Luis was helping us out and he was quick and friendly. We are a eat and get out type of family and they made it smooth for us. I got the pancake combo, we also got the waffle combo and the Belgian waffle and all were very tasty!

Unassuming, small inside. You might even second guess if it's where you want to eat when you come in. The food is standard American that elevates, surprisingly well executed. If you are hungry you may find yourself prioritizing the best parts of your plate and unable to finish as the portions are stacked.
