    Dragon Fruit Margarita
    Sydney J.

    Been here 3 times and every time it's been an crappy experience! The manager literally just came outside and took the cushions away from us on the outdoor patio!! Out on the patio there are couches, but the cushions were inside behind the DJ so my friend went inside and grabbed a couple cushions so we could sit outside because it was a nice evening and the music was so loud we could barely hear each other inside. And the manager came out and yelled at us about there's a reason that the patio furniture wasn't out and then they don't want them out and that she's gonna put them up and made us give them back to her. I was like I can understand if it was raining, but it's not. We also had a $250 bar tab for me and my husband and another $100 bar tab for our friend. And we were sitting where there was a awning overhang. So you could've let us sit on the cushions and then when the bar is closed an hour and 15 minutes later, you could put them back up. But she was definitely rude about it. We came last January 2024 with around 60 people after a work party, and it was empty in here, and they said they couldn't accommodate us. It was doctors and nurses..... so you lost out on thousands of dollars of revenue because you didn't want to push tables together in the private party area and allow us to be up there and assign us a couple waiters. So we went down to Ambriza's rooftop, and that has become our annual after-party location Also... why is last call at 12:25 if you close at 2? Are we just told us it's because it's slow so they don't stay open to the posted hours they close early if there's not enough people. I mean, I wouldn't call it slow. There was probably at least 20 people on the patio and at least another 40 people. And their Mexican Candy shots were the worst I ever had! But the Wildberry margarita is really good. And the dragon fruit one is really pretty and decent. We also ended up ordering some fried pickles around midnight because she let us know the kitchen was closing, and they were really good. Their homemade ranch was delicious. Our waitress was AMAZING!!!! very attentive, came by it just the right times. Unfortunately, because every time we've attempted to go over there, we've had a poor experience, I won't be returning. There's too many places to pick from to go somewhere that management continuously treat you like crap.

    Lemon drop Martini

    Always inviting, indoor and outdoor seating, all coveted for all weathers. Every item delectable, from grilled cheese, to a perfect Reuben, to the drink selections fit for any palate, open late, and located in the heart of Katy, TX. Easy spot to visit for solid food and drink selections.

    Effen Good Martini
    Seneca D.

    I stopped in for lunch and had the Buffalo Chicken Wrap with loaded fries and an Effen Good Martini. The restaurant was empty so the service was good. It's nice and spacious, and it has a good patio area. The Effen Good Martini is always on point. The Buffalo Chicken Wrap was good but would've been better if it came with a queso dipping sauce. The loaded fries were dry and overcooked. I probably should have gotten it with the buffalo chips. If I go back I will stick with the burger or truffle flatbread.

    Hand Breaded Fried Pickles

    Went on a Friday after work during happy hour. Sat at the bar with my husband. Server was attentive and responded pretty fast. Pizza was mediocre but the drinks were good. Would go back for happy hour for drinks. Also received fried pickles and they wee good. Open atmosphere and chatted with other people at bar. Prices were reasonable and was not overcrowded.

    While I do enjoy coming here because of their nice selection of drinks, this particular time they were out of what I wanted which was featured on their menu- boo! So I went with the old fashioned and they did a nice job. Service was fine, not exceptional. I stopped in after a movie and there were plenty of places to sit for a drink. Definitely a great chill place!

    Lunch time at Bar Louie, Katy
    Bruce K.

    Lunch time and work time, I needed a spot to sit for a couple of hours that has wifi and a beverage and a place to plug in my laptop. I found it this afternoon in Bar Louie. Clean, open, friendly. Not at all busy at 1 pm on a weekday such that I had a choice of spots to sit and found one with an outlet nearby so I could charge up my phone. Meanwhile, my van is plugged in to a power outlet in the parking garage and charging up that battery. From the lunch special menu, a salad and as much as I would have killed a beer, I stuck with water as I'm both working and driving today. Salad was a huge portion and the price was right.

    Stopped in for happy hour. Ample bar. Indoor and patio seating Fire Pit for the cool nights Great music and DJ on weekends Parking garage and private parking lot available John & Joshua, the bartenders, were very attentive and personable. I sat on the patio and felt very taken care of even without being at the bar. Bartender on duty John & Joshua What I ordered: Drink Rock&Rita teremana, grand marnier orange ,agave, lime Food salmon sliders

    Bar Louie: a masterclass in overpromising and underdelivering. I ordered a burger, medium--an elementary request, one would think--but what arrived was a structurally unsound disaster, teetering on the edge of raw. Medium rare, at best. The patty was a feeble, pink mess, hastily assembled between two halves of a bun that disintegrated upon contact, as if recoiling in shame from the atrocity within. Every bite was an exercise in damage control, a desperate attempt to salvage some semblance of dignity from a meal that simply refused to cooperate. The fries, however, were quite good. A rare beacon of competence in an otherwise grim dining experience. And the water? Exceptionally refreshing--perhaps because it was the only thing that didn't require this establishment's culinary intervention. If you enjoy watching your meal collapse in real-time while playing roulette with proper cooking temperatures, by all means, visit Bar Louie. Otherwise, spare yourself.

    The food was really good no complaints, the chicken was bigger than the bun. It wasn't spicy at all but flavorful. Our waitress could have been more attentive to say the restaurant was empty. The ambiance was a casual vibe nice place to stop in for lunch.

Both came in generous portions, seasoned well, and arrived without a long wait. A strong start to the meal. For my entrée, I selected the whole red snapper, served with salad and plantains. I added a side of jollof rice, which paired perfectly with the fish. Another colleague ordered the pork chop with green beans and mashed potatoes -- absolutely delectable. I didn't finish every bite of my snapper only because I wanted to save room for dessert. Our table tried a variety: pineapple upside‑down cake, cheesecake, and key lime pie. Each one was a great finish to the meal and made the evening of catching up even sweeter. The chef personally greeted each table, which added a thoughtful, welcoming touch. The staff was attentive throughout the night, making the experience feel special from start to finish. A memorable meal, a cozy ambiance, and a perfect place to reconnect with people who've become lifelong friends. Loved it.

They serve brunch on Saturday and Sunday until 330. The brunch menu is huge. It is not a super large menu, which I feel very endearing. We decided to try the bagel and lox with cream cheese, the Buzz burger with fries, and their homemade chips. They start off by bringing you this beautiful craft of bottled water. That to me was an amazing bonus. We also ordered two sodas which came in a can. I sort of wish it was a more of a fountain drink than one can of soda for the price. *Now service was super slow. However, the waitress did come and tell us that they are running a little behind and she apologized for it and she was super sweet, so that made up for the weight. How do I known how long it was going to take, I don't know if I would've stayed, but in the end, the food was amazing. The burger was cooked to perfection. My boyfriend is a hamburger snob and he kept saying how good it was how fresh it was and how perfectly cooked it was. They serve you shoestring fries that feel like they're double fried and they were phenomenal. My bagel was toasted perfectly and had a very good amount of cream cheese and lox. As a Jewish girl living in the area that I do, it's very hard to find good bagels with lox and cream cheese. I will most definitely be back for this sooner than later. The homemade chips took quite a while to come out, and at one point I was ready to say we don't need it, but these potato chips beat Buccees beaver chips, 100%. They were super fresh and very crunchy and tasted amazing. I will definitely recommend those to anybody that orders some. My boyfriend then ordered a tropical sunrise smoothie and it was so tasty and tasted like a strawberry banana smoothie. Now once again that did take a long time to come out and at one point, we were wishing we had not ordered it but once we did get it, it was really good and I highly recommend it. The restaurant is not very large and it's the perfect brunch spot for anybody looking for a smaller Cafe with very good choices.
