Bacon Cheddar Burger
Eva S.

Bar Louie has unexpectedly become our go-to date night spot. Burgers, drinks, flatbreads; check, check, check! My husband will get a burger, usually, and I kind of bop around their menu. Sometimes we share an app. We've never needed to make a reservation or wait long. Another check. Recently, I got their margarita flatbread, which was praised by our waiter as a great choice, and because I was craving some veggies, ordered a side of zucchini and got their wedge best zucchini stack! Like 3 logs of well-seasoned logs stacked one way, and then topped by another 3 stacked perpendicular. It was the perfect, new way to be served zucchini. Other highlights are their burgers with tater tots. Not much to expand on here, they are made fresh to order and come on a quarter sheet pan with your ketchup and tots. I've also tried their Cobb salad with a side of chicken tenders (ask for no cheese on your salad, if you're not a fan of a ton of shredded cheddar) and it was splendid with those additions and subtractions. And last but not least, their martinis are our friend. We don't really come here as a drinking hole, but they are a bar, and they know their martinis. We shall be back for a future date night.

Uncooked wings
Marci H.

I had a really disappointing experience with the wings at Bar Louie. The quality was completely unacceptable, some of the wings were undercooked to the point of being bloody, while others were overcooked and hard. There was absolutely no consistency. On top of that, the portion sizes were very misleading. We ordered two plates of 10 wings, but the difference in size between the two plates was obvious. The ones I received were noticeably smaller, more like "baby wings" while the other plate had much larger pieces. I brought this to the manager's attention and was told it was based on weight, but that explanation didn't make sense since the menu clearly states an order is 10 wings, not sold by the pound. Between the food quality and the lack of accountability, this was a frustrating experience. I wouldn't recommend the wings here and definitely expected much better.

We went at 10 pm to this place no crowd good music good vibes But the drinks they served were super strong!! Food was good we go small plates for appetizers. Good location and service was friendly!!

Hot honey flatbread ($14.50): crumbled blue cheese, bacon, arugula. Was surprisingly light on hot honey

DATE NIGHT Naperville's Bar Louie is a solid place to enjoy happy hour. Several times now, my wife and I've come to this bar/restaurant on Route 59 for drinks + food. Each time we've taken advantage of their happy hour deals which essentially cuts our bill in half. Bar Louie runs theirs much longer than other places who end their specials in the afternoon. I've been to plenty of Bar Louies across Chicagoland--River North, Printer's Row, Bolingbrook, Geneva, Oak Park (RIP)--and experiences have been all over the board. This BL in Naperville strikes me as one of the better locations, aided by the fact that it's relatively new and well-managed. Their Happy Hour runs from 4-7pm; the majority of appetizers and flatbreads are 50% off, which is a great value if you're fine with snacking & sharing instead of doing entrées. Daily specials on booze include martini Mondays, wine Wednesdays (1/2 off bottles), and thirsty Thursdays ($2-3 off draft beers). We're big fans of their fried pickles ($11) with jalapeno ranch. Cheese curds are excellent ($13). The truffle fries ($10) are amazing. Spinach & artichoke dip ($13) is fine, though the crispy calamari ($15) is a way better choice for app and comes with a sweet chili dipping sauce. Don't sleep on the chips & dip trio ($11) with smoky salsa, queso, and guacamole. The chips themselves were fresh and delicious. The pepperoni flatbread ($14) is just dandy, but the hot honey bacon flatbread ($14.50) barely had any hot honey on it. Edges were a little burnt, too. Bread = 4 Circuses = 4.5 My wife got a couple pints of Blue Moon ($7.50) and I was feeling tropical, so I decided to get a Blue Hawaiian instead of a beer. HUGE mistake--it cost a whopping $14, and I foolishly got two! Now I know why lots of places don't list prices next to alcohol, if they did people would stick with water! * TL;DR * If you can time it right, Bar Louie offers tasty bites at very reasonable prices. Outside of weekday afternoons, however, you might be surprised at how quickly you rack up a tab (and the Blue Hawaiian was a ripoff, quite frankly). The atmosphere is inviting and their menu has something for everyone, plus service has been commendable. You can get a free appetizer just by signing up for their rewards program. I wouldn't hesitate to come back during happy hour, which luckily ends long after I get off of work. I appreciate they give those of us working 9-5 jobs a chance to benefit from discounted food & drinks instead of cutting it off at 4pm or so. I'd recommend this Bar Louie for sure.

KICKING Kickin' Fried Chicken
Raul M.

We decided to check out Bar Louie for dinner and try something new tonight. Making reservations was easy and we hardly had to wait once we arrived. I did like the Atmosphere and our waitress Serenity was on point! She immediately greeted us and brought drinks out, and asked if we had any questions about the menu. We decided to a Grilled Chicken Club, kicking fried chicken sandwich and an order of sliders. The sandwich was a bit smaller than what I expected but definitely delicious! They forgot a couple ketchups and ranch sauces but she notice and brought them out. I'll definitely recommend this place and we definitely stop by again next time when we are by the area.

Omg! If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would! In town for the week and found this spot…read moreon TikTok. I was a little afraid we weren't going to be able to get a seat. I saw people saying reservations are highly encouraged because it gets really busy. Thankfully we arrive before the dinner rush. I knew when I sat down that I was ordering the short rib based off of videos....the short rib was soooo tender i think I swallowed the plate too! My sister got the burger. I tasted that as well and it was also perfection.

Hey! This place is so cool!!! From the floor, to the ceiling!!! Apparently, it's been here for…read moreeight years. Yet! I have never came across it before. **happy accidents** So! I usually walk the same route, in downtown Naperville. It is what it is. I like to have a "place" that knows my name #Cheers Ok! So, this is the route to a great bar and restaurant. (I was too late for food) I will try the "restaurant" part another time... BECAUSE! Jeff is an amazing bartender. O'Brien?!?? She's such a sweetheart! Girl, you have all of that & a bag of chips. (Yes. I know. I showed my age ) I love the history of this place. It was designed and built by the owner and his dad. It's an amazing and extraordinary place! Not many restaurants outlived Covid. The fact that this place has thrived! Is an amazing accomplishment of its own! How many independent businesses survived during and after??? Think about it... take your time. So many businesses failed. Sadly. This place has stood the test of time! As crazy as it may seem. It still stands!!! That is the American dream!!! The owner has built this place with his love, blood, sweat and tears! It's a place that will remember your name. Every. Single. Person. Welcome and excepted!!!

I don't know how this place can only have a 4.0 when it well exceeds a 5 and then some!!!!!…read more The food- absolutely delish and not overly done with flavors that literally burst with flavor and freshness! The shishito peppers were so sweet and tangy in the bacon jelly and cheese and oozed with goodness! The steak and chicken were such a great combo to share between my husband and I with both being such different profiles of taste and actually complimented one another. The steak itself was absolutely perfect and the bread under soaked up all those juices so you didn't have to lick the plate after (great ingenuity when dining out :)) The desserts were fantastic but the star of the show was def the raspberry blondie. It was everything I imagined and more. The perfect sweet and tart mixed in a bowl with spoons ... thank you for not plating this - I felt like I was at home about to sit on the couch and indulge in something I created. Perfect experience, perfect presentation and to top it off their restaurant is surrounded by their farm. Tomatoes, jalapeños, peaches, peppers, micro greens, greens, herbs..... with everything going on today in this world and every thing being recalled this is a place I can stand behind doing it the right way! Service the phenomenal, food was perfection and atmosphere was next to none.... Thank you so much for such an amazing dinner out!

Everything was fine, I didn't love this place like some others did…read more Medium charcuterie board was very good & had plenty for 2 to snack on. Wife had the Teras major steak with a portobello mushroom. Steak was good mushroom hardly had any mushroom in it & was tasteless. I had the fish & chip & fish was good, tartar was meh & potatoes were mushy Sangria was fine but small Bill was $135 B4 tip for 2 dinners an app & 1 alcoholic beverage. We won't be going back. *we were there on a chilly night, if we would've sat outside on their beautiful patio our experience may have been better
