    The best burger in town! Super friendly positive experience every time I stop in! They even offer punch cards. This place is awesome!

    Bacon cheeseburger

    Funky and fun walk up restaurant in a bus. Seating area with picnic tables across the parking lot. Burgers were tasty-juicy. Love the sweet pickles as the default pickle option. Grilled cheese was good. Chicken strips resembled chicken purchased at a restaurant closed on Sundays. Fries were lackluster-weren't super hot and crispy and desperately needed salt. Fried mozzarella sticks were good-thick breading. Canned soda options for only $1.50. Definitely worth checking out on a trip and is a hit with locals who have a loyalty punch card. Closed Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. Open from 11-4.

    Mushroom and Swiss burger.

    Great food. It was worth the 30 minutes wait. Mushroom Swiss burger B And G burger bacon and guacamole

    The fries reminded me of McDonalds, but fresh and tasty. There was a sort of light seasoning on them. When I showed up here, I knew that it would be good. Everything was sacrificed to put out a quality burger and food product. There is no eating area, no warm area to wait for your order. There is a small alcove to protect from the rain (which it was doing when we came). Don't let the sparse and slightly muddy, slightly unkempt environment fool you. This place is amazing!! Seriously delicious and well put together burgers. After placing our orders, we headed to the car to wait. It felt like a long time, but was only probably about 10-15 minutes. Meals came out as they were finished which means the first of our group was almost done when the last burger meal showed up. Which might have been slightly due to deliciousness and partly due to time. Certainly a place to try during your time in Kenai!

We arrive and the line of folks waiting for seating is quite long and disorganized. Eventually someone comes out and tells everyone to all their name to the list of people that is accumulating. Hmm... this does not bode well. We wait about a half hour for our name to be called. When we are finally seating or drinks come promptly, but then we are forgotten for over 10 minutes. No one mentions them being out of anything. And of course, they're out of the one thing I want. Now I'm pissed. And I'm hearing they say its going to be about a 45 minute wait. We're starving. I should also mention, I am an VERY patient person. But as a basic standard, I do expect restaurant staff to communicate regarding delays and if they are out of things. Send help. I don't know if we are ever going to eat. Look for the skeletons setting toward the back of the restaurant. ‐‐----------------- Update: Upgrading from 1 star to 1.5 since we finally ate. The food was fine. I see why everything takes so long- way too much time on presentation for diner food. It was fine, but absolutely not worth the wait. Like at all. It was a chef salad, and a french toast not a work of art. These things should not involve a greater than one hour wait. And they forgot my salad dressing, so I had to track down the waitress to request it. Dear lord, help me. Cannot recommend.

    So, my neighbour has been nagging me for some time now to call in to "that place with the railcars"…read morejust outside of Soldotna, but I'd not yet been. Though she hadn't mentioned there was a restaurant, she raved about the coffee shop and waffles. So my friend and I were coming to Soldotna last weekend, and me, as usual, am frantically searching Yelp for something with 4/5 stars. Addie Camp came up as a contender, with a solid 4.7 stars, but I hadn't realised it was where the railroad cars are. So we decided to give it a go. What a beautiful area it is, once you get up into the parking lot! It's very neat and tidy, and all the little railroad cars surround the central parking lot. And there's really massive solar panels to the rear. I liked that. There was not a scrap of trash anywhere. Very inviting. So we head into Addie Camp, and I'm wowed. It's beautiful inside, cosy and welcoming, yet very modern. The staff are lovely. The hostess asked if we had a reservation, but as we didn't she invited us to sit at the bar. No problem! They have tables upstairs, and in a railroad car to the side. It's absolutely beautiful, and features a lot of warm wood, but not old wood, very light modern wood. I tell you, I'm in love with this place. Anyway so we sit at the bar, where Sam was mixing cocktails. Sam is very pleasing on the eye, I might add. He was using Fevertree Tonic in one of the cocktails, and I told him that Fevertree's Elderflower Tonic is one of my fave drinks ever, and he said he loved it too. Anyway, so upon perusing the menu - it's not a huge menu, but there are plenty of things I'll eat - I ordered the Gold Star Elk Burger with rosemary fries, and my friend got Gambas Al Ajillo (Spanish style wild Patagonia Shrimp in a spicy olive and herb citrus sauce served with fancy bread) and we both opted for a Train Track Tonic Mocktail, mainly because Sam the bartender told me he had elderflower syrup, and it was featured in one of the mocktails, so I was sold. The napkins are fabric, and the silverware is fancy, heavy, not your usual restaurant fare. I was quite impressed with how quickly we were served, because it was quite busy. The food itself was outstanding. The bacon jam in this burger is EPIC and it's not your usual tiny bacon crumbles, it had chunky bits of bacon, and was sweetly gooey, but savoury too, absolutely the best bacon jam I've had, and it just gave the already amazing burger a boost it didn't even really need. There's no way to eat this burger in a dainty ladylike fashion, it's a beast, and the bacon jam is messy, but I went with it, and Sam got us some extra napkins. About 3/4 of the way through, I had to go knife and fork on the burger. I wasn't leaving any of that thing. The fries were good, the burger good, the mocktail good, excellent service, very attentive. This is unquestionably THE best restaurant on the Kenai Peninsula, and I can't wait to come back with my husband, next time we're down there. And, I did see regulars come in and be treated like they were old friends. After my experience there, I can see why people would keep coming back, it's THAT good!

A friend of ours brought us here, and we ordered appetizers that time too. Now though, i DEMAND to come here. I won't eat anywhere else on the peninsula. sometimes there's a wait. It's truly worth waiting for. Fortunately on this occasion, i called ahead to reserve a table, while my friend was getting pulled over by a cop for speeding (I'm lmao, because we were 2 hangry women, and going way too fast down Kenai Spur Road to get to Louie's) so while she's doing the yadda yadda, I'm calling ahead to reserve a table. Fortunately there was lots of availability, so i was told to just come on in. So we get there, starving. I do this self same thing every time. I forget they have GIGANTIC, appetizers. BROBDINGNAGIAN appetizers (google it, it's a great word for you to save for future use) and i forget, so i order 2 Appetizers, and so does she. Then end up being totally floored by the size of the appetizers and not being able to eat them all. This time i got Alaskan Steamer Clams, and Cheesy Bacon Fries, She got Button Mushrooms, and Blackened Prime Bites. 3 of these dishes came with Garlic Bread. Our server came, loaded down with plates, and said I'll be back with the rest. I was presented with, what can only be described as a very large aluminum bucket of Steamer Clams drowning in house nectar, and a vast platter of bacon cheesy fries. I was overcome with performance anxiety about my ability to consume all of this. She was given 2 big dishes - 1 with beautiful looking button mushrooms, the other with Prime Rib Bites. I don't like Prime Rib. But i love mushrooms, so we just Family Styled it all the way, The Steamer Clams were succulent, juicy, tender, and the nectar was absolutely creamy, delicious and savoury. I should have just gotten those. I couldn't resist her mushrooms though, i absolutely love mushrooms. I was only able to manage a couple of bites of my garlic bread. She was being very helpful with my Steamer Clams, and agreed they were delicious. Louie's is a must, if you're on the Peninsula, whether you're a local, or from out of town (We're from Anchorage) or a tourist would absolutely love it in here. There's lots of hunting trophies on the walls. The food is of consistent good quality, though to be honest, I've yet to order an Entree, because i can't even get past the Appetizer menu, and wanting ALLLLLLL the things!! Their food is so good, i have to give the full 5 stars. The service is spectacular, the staff are super friendly, and i will continue to be their from-out-of-town-regular, whenever I'm down here. Awesome Job Louie's, keep up the great wor

Food is meh mediocre at best. Other than being forced to sit at one of the edge tables so they could start mopping, I think the wait staff was fine, although the noise from the kitchen sucked. All that said, I wouldn't go back. And IMHO it's not the fault of any one waitress, it's management's fault. FWIW this review is by a local during winter.
