Decent menu to choose from, I tried the turkey cranberry and that was good but didn't leave me wanting it again in the future. The best thing was the licorice icecream! It'll dye your fingers, tongue and mouth black though for a bit so wipe often! Service was okay, the lady stopped by quite a bit but kind of had a grumpy attitude. Maybe it was a bad day. Inside was cute and homey. I loved the pay it forward board. More places need this. They have a glockenspiel that goes off at 11am, 1, 4 & 7pm. There was a cute senior craft shop across the road I recommend checking out. read more

Stopped in today while I was at Oktoberfest today I had loose plate. Everything on it was delicious! Had a breaded schnitzel, mashed potatoes and gravy and delicious German sausage. My wife had the turkey cranberry Crisant. It came with chips and also was fantastic. Went in town even for Oktoberfest. I recommend this place. read more

Such a great cozy kitchen! When I walked in, I immediately noticed the pay it forward board. You can buy a meal or anything on the menu pay for it and they put the receipt up on the board for someone else to enjoy. The service was exactly what you would expect in such a great, small town, friendly and loving....Alast, but not least the food was awesome! read more

When: Sat. April 12th, 8:15 am; party of 2 Adults. Very friendly and genuine service. We were greeted & seated promptly. The ambiance was a farm house country kitchen feel. The restaurant is large enough where all patrons can feel comfortable without rubbing elbows with others. There is ample street parking around the restaurant. Breakfast is served only on Weekends at this Mount Angel eatery. My wife had the Avocado Toast meal and she said it was one of the best Avocado Toast she has ever had. I had the hearty Lou's Farmer's Breakfast which is essentially everything in the kitchen except the kitchen sink. This meal was very filling and satisfying. The grilled Hash Browns had the perfect crispness with a flavorful buttery taste. We will definitely be back to Lou's. read more

Lou's Kitchen seems to be doing a bang-up job in downtown Mt. Angel - the tables were full, the crowd was happy, the food smelled delicious, and being the holiday season, the Christmas tree inside the front door was festive and bright. We ordered our usual... hard to break the habit, isn't it? I got a tuna melt on grilled sourdough with fries and a side of barbeque sauce and my friends ordered a half ham & cheese sandwich with chips and a turkey cranberry sandwich on a croissant. All of our meals were tasty and filling, the service was attentive, and the water glasses were always full. Lou's consistently offers good food including a variety of appetizers, sandwiches, salads, burgers and dinner entrees, as well as daily specials. Mt. Angel is a cute little town well-known for its Oktoberfest every fall but if you want to see it without the annual crowds, check out the shops and then go get some food at Lou's. Parking will be easy without all the crowds and walking around town will work up your appetite for something yummy. read more

My boyfriend is from Mt. Angel, and we visited his family over Labor Day weekend. While we were there, his mother insisted we try a new restaurant in town called Lou's. We invited a friend and went for Saturday brunch. Unfortunately, I didn't get a photo of my dish because I ate it too quickly--if that doesn't tell you how good it is, take my word for it and try it yourself, lol. We all cleared our plates! Lou's is run by a local family, and every member plays a role in the restaurant--from cooking and managing to serving and making sure every guest is well taken care of. The restaurant is located in the heart of town in a beautiful historic building. You can see the stunning woodwork and detail throughout the space. If you're in town, especially during Oktoberfest, you've got to add Lou's to your must-visit list for a delicious, home-cooked meal! read more

We have been coming here on the occasional ever since they opened. Actually , this has become our go to stop when we are in Mt. Angel around mealtime. The food is always consistent and (while I like German food) the menu isn't all about sausage and schnitzel. The service has always been excellent and they don't make you feel rushed. If you are looking for an overpriced bratwurst to bask in the German feel of the town this is not your place. If you are looking for a quality meal at a good price, you should give them a try. read more

Met a friend for lunch in this comfy, quiet, friendly and efficient full-service restaurant with good homestyle dishes. All of it was a refreshing change from the new world order of "fast casual" eating. Lou's is worth a trip to Mt. Angel if you just miss the way a nice lunch used to be done, the kind of place where your server deserves a nice tip! read more

Really, really delicious food!!! Came here for brunch with my family Sunday morning. Place was packed and understaffed from the looks of it. We ordered our drinks after being seated but they never arrived. Took close to twenty minutes before our server arrived and took our order again. She did apologize for the delay. Our drinks and meals arrived not too long afterwards. Really tasty and worth the long wait! The homemade sourdough English muffins were absolutely amazing! Everything is scratch made and very well prepared. My veggie/cheese omelette was very tasty and prepared with real eggs. My daughter loved her biscuits with gravy. Farmer's breakfast looked great and so was the breakfast sandwich. Reasonably priced too. Loud in there because it was packed. Also very chilly as the door was constantly being opened and was a cold, windy morning. Otherwise, great place and great food! read more

Great Food and Great Service!!! They got it figured out!!! we were there on Valentines Day and it was worth every penny!!!

Great Service. They were friendly and responsive. We were in Mt Angel for a day and stopped in here for breakfast. Exterior looks like a German row house and inside it is clean and comfortable. There's plenty of seating. Food was fresh. Eggs were mid, definitely had better, but their portions were big with a fair price. Would recommend. read more

I love this place. It is in a historic building in the cute Bavarian town of Mount Angel. It is a perfect place to stop for lunch after visiting the Abbey. The service was fantastic, and the food was great! I enjoy it every time I eat there! read more

We were a party for eight at lunch. Excellent service excellent food. Very nicely decorated will definitely go back.

This is a good spot to stop after a couple of hours at the Oregon Garden. The service is a little slow considering not a lot of patrons. Our server kept disappearing for long periods of time. The food is a lot- we ended up taking 1/2 home. If we come back will probably share. Standard bar - tables and booth. read more

Our first time eating here and it did not disappoint. Highly recommend! We went there to reconnect with one of our favorite servers, Gretchen!! She is so amazing and cheerful and one of the best! We missed her terribly at her prior establishment and when we heard where she was we just had to go the food was outstanding! We will definitely return back to see Gretchen's smiling face and also for the great food. chicken fried steak was one of the best ever and ribeye dinner was awesome, potatoes cooked perfectly and those green beans!!!!

We have eaten several times at Lou's and have enjoyed it. However, this last time has caused us to rethink dining here. Deciding to stop in on a Wednesday (meatloaf was their special on Wednesdays), we were disappointed to find out that they had chosen to "change it up" and offer a "chef's choice" on Wednesdays. Ordering fish & chips instead, I asked if a small house salad could be substituted for the coleslaw. The waitress said yes and that there would be a "small" charge for the substitution. According to the side orders on the menu, coleslaw is $4 and a house salad is $6. We expected to pay the difference ($2). Instead, we were charged NINE DOLLARS for that house salad (and no coleslaw). Sadly, we've decided that perhaps Lou's should be reserved for pie & coffee from now on. read more

My wife and I recently ate here. The waitress was amazingly friendly and the service was excellent. The food was wonderful, and the architecture is great. My only criticism is that there was christian music playing throughout my entire time there. While I wholeheartedly believe in people's right to believe in what they want--I don't like people imposing their religious views on me--particularly when I'm paying really good money to eat there. I mentioned it to the waitress and told her I would be just as bothered if muslim prayer music came on while I was eating. She listened to me and was really nice. They didn't turn off the music. That is okay. I felt listened to. However, because I don't like listening to religious music of any kind while I'm eating--I'm not sure if I will be going back. Incidentally, they would have gotten a five star rating, but I consider playing religious music of any kind in a business situation a grossly bad business practice. read more

This is a great family owned restaurant. I've eaten here a few different times in the past year. I like the atmosphere and service has always been excellent. The breakfast avocado toast is great and I liked their biscuits and gravy too. For lunch I've tried the Ruben sandwich and it was fantastic. I definitely recommend making the drive to this historic German themed town its well worth it. read more

I had been wanting to try Lou's Kitchen since we heard about their opening. We finally made the drive to Mount Angel and it was absolutely worth the wait and drive! The service is excellent, staff was friendly, the restaurant was spotless and has a warm, inviting atmosphere. The food...it was fantastic!!! I had steak, my husband had a burger and my son had a grilled cheese. Everything was cooked to order and had excellent flavor. This will be a regular spot for our family. read more

I've eaten here twice. Sandwiches are good, menu pretty extensive, with a wide range of entrees, desserts, beers, wines and cocktails. Owner is exceptionally pleasant but the place seemed understaffed my second visit, with only the owner and a young woman serving the floor. I wasn't given a napkin. In terms of ambience, probably four or five stars. I drive up from South Salem to take in the whole Mt. Angel experience, but I wouldn't drive just to eat here. read more

The best of the best... always consistently great food! This family knows food and what people like. They always greet you with gusto and make sure you're happy with your meal! One of my favorites is the tuna melt... or is it the chicken salad on a croissant... great omelets and I love their pepper bacon! Actually the steak was so tender and juicy too! Great food all around! The owners & staff are the best in the Valley read more

I was there with a large group. It was a pleasant venue with a warm interior and it was clean. Even though the restaurant was less than half full, part of our group was seated right night to the door to the restrooms. I hope these seats next to the restroom could be used last when people are seated. There were very few vegetarian options on the menu. I understand this isn't a place for healthy eating but having a few more entree choices that aren't just carbs and cheese would be nice! read more

Well somebody recommended this on Salem eats and so I had to run out and try it. My friend and I each had one. 1 with tomatoe and 1 without. I'm here to tell you that it's in the top five best sandwiches I've ever had in my entire life. The flavors going on in that turkey bacon avocado cranberry cream cheese croissant sandwich is out of this world! The ingredients were also very elevated. The bacon that you can't hardly find anymore was on this sandwich. I go out five or six times to find one place like this that checks all the boxes on great food, great service, great atmosphere and extremely clean restaurant. I can hardly wait to go try their country fried steak that they make in-house and hand batter. Stay tuned for more in depth reviews on this place. read more

What an amazing addition to Mt Angel. Lou's recently moved to a really cool spacious location right down the block from their original place. It is so warm and welcoming, the staff is pleasant and always smiling and seem to truly enjoy what they are doing. Their menu has expanded greatly and is quite impressive. I had the best grilled chicken salad ever with very generous portions of candied pecans, feta cheese, dried cranberries and excellent balsamic vinaigrette dressing. You can't go wrong with giving Lou's your business. Excellent job everybody read more

the breakfasts they serve are excellent and their staff is very friendly. so why 3-stars? the music played over their speaker system is loud worship music. hearing gawd-awful raucous is distracting when attempting to have a conversation. if you want to play music that is less distracting or gross, please consider classical music. read more

I love Lou's! I've tried a few of their sandwiches and have been happy every time! The people there are so nice and helpful and it's just a cute little shop in the center of Mt. Angel.

I have really enjoyed the food and ambiance at Lou's Kitchen. However, I recently had a bad experience at the restaurant. The woman who seated us (party of 2) did not want to put us at a booth along the windows that we requested. Even though the restaurant was only half full, and no one else waiting, she insisted that the booths were now reserved for parties of 4. When I insisted that we always have sat there before, she very grudgingly "allowed" us to sit there. She was also very unfriendly (never smiled once!) when she served us. I felt like I was being punished for insisting on something that had not been a problem before. Needless to say, it was an unpleasant experience. Some friends said they had also had the same problem with not being allowed to sit in a window booth, and as a result, they have not been back. I also do not plan on eating there again until they change their policy. read more

Lou's Kitchen is the best place to eat in this area. The menu is not fancy and the food is always cooked to perfection.

Great service, good food. The candied pecans are so good! We were there to see the show outside. It was awesome!

Outstanding sandwiches. Probably one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches I've ever had.... and I've had a bunch. The Rueben was top notch as well. I have to admit, the prime rib was a disappointment. While the lip was delicious the center part of the cut was so tough and chewy as to be... I'll just say I took it home and our cats gave it 5-stars. I do recommend Lou's, make no mistake! read more

Our first experience here was bizarre. It was a busy Sunday morning. Hostess seated us. Then we waited and waited and waited. No one offered water. No wait staff came by to let us know they'd be with us as soon as possible. After a while we saw others that came in after getting service. I started to watch. No staff made eye contact. Nothing. For some reason we were completely invisible. I've never had that happen anywhere. Only when we got up to leave did someone talk to us and apologize for the wait. I understand delays due to being busy and short staffed but experiencing invisibility was unsettling. We'll never go back and will never encourage anyone to patronize Lou's. It doesn't matter how good the food may or may not be. If I could give them a negative rating I would. read more
