Louie Owensboro

We made a last minute reservation at Bar Louie in Owensboro for our Travel Softball Team. There were 30+ of us. Upon our arrival we were given the party room. Maddie our server was fun, polite, honest. She flat out tild us a server had just walked out they were already short staffed. So not only did she have our party, but regular tables too. She did a great job taking care of us bring open and honest kept us in the right mind set! This girl is going places!

We have been to Bar Louie on a few separate occasions, we came back after previous unsatisfactory experiences to try to give them another chance. One time, we were seated outside, but no one ever came to take our order. We ended up leaving after about 45 minutes. This last time, we did have a party of 12, but we did make reservations and it was early enough that they did not have many customers. After waiting well over an hour for our food, only a few plates were served. Then a few more plates came out, which was disappointing as they were cold. When the server came over to see if we liked our food, I still did not have my plate. Oops, they forgot. So I waited while everyone else finished their food. I finally asked the waitress to just take my food off our ticket and check us out as we had a scheduled event for which we were running late. I was never rude or hateful, I know this happens. The waitress said she'd take it off my ticket, which she did. She also said the manager would be out to talk with me. I never saw a manager. I understand people are working hard and understaffed. But waiting for food that comes out cold after waiting a long time or never arrives? Or just not get waited on? Don't seat customers if you don't have staff to care for them. I work in healthcare , I understand the difficulties in today's environment. I am not mad or upset, just disappointed. I appreciate all that people are going through, it's just the culture that it's ok to just get by or not try to go a good job. Or that is not acceptable to get a simple apology from management. Thank you for allowing me to express my views. Good luck with future patrons.

The kitchen takes forever to get your food to you, scared to think about the cleanliness of it. Sourdough bread was not sourdough or anywhere near fresh. Gastroburger was good.

Got the chicken parm sandwich with a big apple mixed drink and I have zero regrets. We also shared the pretzel bites appetizer and it was phenomenal.

This place is absolutely awful. I walked in and it was completely dead. Staff just lounging around on their cell phones doing nothing. As I look around this place is soooo dirty. I ordered a martini that was supposed to have blue cheese olives in it but the olives were empty. Maybe they just needed stuffed. Well you have 15 ppl looking at phone that could stuff olives. I felt dirt and had to leave, omg this place will not last. Others please read reviews, they are all reall. Only the strong will survive in this environment
