So I've been in this place now on 3 separate occasions and each time, somehow, was even better than the last. First time in there, I ordered the fish fry and it was AMAZING, and not only was the food delicious (the cheesy potatoes are to DIE for), but the manager, Sarah, was out talking to customers, making sure everyone was happy, feeling welcome, and enjoying their food, and I'm a social person so we chatted a bit and I gotta say, I've never felt more comfortable my first time in a restaurant and it was because of the staff (and a few regulars that'll remain nameless just cause I'm not sure they want to be publicized lol), so my second time in, I order the Italian beef dip sandwich, and requested the cheesy potatoes for my potato side and the waitress (different one from my first visit) informs me that those are only available after 4, now bummed out but completely understanding of this as I choose fries instead, Sarah heard me ordering my food and comes out and let's the waitress know it's ok to let me order the cheesy potatoes since it was close enough, now I'm telling u, the customer service here is second to NONE. Third visit in and I decided to bring some family and a few friends in to enjoy this great food and inviting atmosphere, and Sarah indeed came out to welcome everyone, even during prime dinner hours, cuz that's just the amazing service you find here, this was steak night (Thursday), and they had sold me on this dinner already my previous 2 visits so I didn't even need a menu lol but let me tell u, I like my steak well done and this was still so amazingly tender you could cut it with a fork, everyone that I brought with me that night agreed, best food, best service and just great atmosphere for a place most ppl just drive right on by, next time you're in Cumberland and hungry though, just stop in, you can thank me later
They were very busy and the Waitress did a fantastic job! The food was excellent. No complaints on anything it all came out hot as expected. We will be back. 3-4-22 Great fish fry.
Our first time visit to Louie's on the Lake. They will take reservations, and when we came in there were 4 tables pulled together with a reserved sign. During our visit, the manager came over and took a few moments to talk to us about the new restaurant, which was very nice. My wife ordered the New York Strip salad special, which she said was absolutely delicious. I ordered a 1/3# brat burger in a pretzel bun with seasoned fries. Everything was very tasty, and I will order this again in the future. Our waitress Keira was very attentive to our needs, and did a great job - even as the restaurant filled with guests. Will definitely come again!
Very good small business! Went here and met this amazing waitress who was very helpful, attentive, and friendly. She accidentally put fries instead of fruit on the tenders, but was so kind she would give us both. They have regulars who the waitress knows by name and chats with them. Root beer was great! They were the first restaurant to have our favorite condiment, Heinz 57.
The Saturday night special the Grilled Smoked Pork Chop is Excellent both with Butter or with The Mushroom Gravy. The Twice Baked Potatoes are very good. Also the Crab Bisque is Excellent. The Creamy Broccoli and Ham Soup is also Excellent. The Steak Mushroom Cream Soup is also Excellent. The Chicken Wild Rice Soup is also Excellent. We stop here whenever we drive through Cumberland. We stopped last Friday Night and I had the Friday Night Fish Fry. And unusual things for Friday Fish Fry choice of Fried or Baked. Had the Fried it was excellent. Next time I'll try the Baked. The best Fish I've had in a Restaurant in a long time. We've eaten here many times we haven't had everything on the menu but what we've had has been excellent. My favorite Burger is The Big Louie.
Was nice to receive a large portion of cheese curds instead of some small basket like some restaurants do my burger was great right next to the fishing dock, which is nice
Very small inside but does have outdoor seating... The food was very good and our waitress was absolutely wonderful... No alcohol, but beer was available... they had my Twisted Tea so I was good to go. Would definitely recommend... we went mid afternoon, was busy, but cleared out quickly and they were definitely getting ready for a Dinner crowd as it was Friday Night Fish Fry!
Anytime were coming through Cumberland this is a must stop. Beautiful spot on the lake and great food. The salads are a breathe of fresh air for this region.
