Louie's Cafe 225-346-8221
209 West State St
Baton Rouge, LA 70802


For a great breakfast of omelets, hash browns, pancakes, Louie's has been pleasing sober and hungover Baton Rougeans since, well.... read their story for yourself:

"Louie's Cafe had it's beginning on North Street in downtown Baton Rouge. It was in the 1920's, and Louie Sisk called his eatery "Louie's Dutch Mill". Louie's friend, Nat Chesnut, offered him a new location on Chimes Street adjacent to the Louisiana State University Campus. The spot was formerly a "toddle house". It was a tiny building with only eleven stools at the counter and no tables. In 1941 Louie moved his "Dutch Mill" to Chimes Street. He operated there through the 40's, 50's, 60's, and into the 70's.

Louie Sisk passed away in 1977. His wife operated the cafe until she sold it to three enterprising college students in 1978. James Wetherford and his two partners changed the name to Louie's Cafe. In 1979 James bought out his partners' interest and became the sole owner. After over forty years on Chimes Street, Louie's moved to State Street, its present location. In 1986 James went into a partnership with Frank Duvic who was owner and operator of "The Bayou" and together they decided to make Louie's a 24 hour diner. Frank has since left and opened "Duvic's," leaving James Wetherford to run Louie's Cafe on his own."

Hasn't been a regular student hangout for all these years for nothing Apr 6th, 2005
Louie's is the best place in town to find late night greasy drunk food. It beats Waffle House anytime. The Big Cheesy Lou is always a good idea if you have a hankering for a burger (I like mine with avocado, no sprouts). The hashbrowns are out of this world. Everything is served ala carte, so get what you want and then split an order with your friends, there will be plenty to go around I promise.
The breakfasts are awesome, but don't get an omlete on your own, unless you are looking for leftovers for the next 3 days. They have healthy stuff on the menu, like a grilled tuna salad which I heard is also quite tasty, but I only go in there for the stick to your ribs kind of stuff. If you are new to the area it is definitely worth your time, and the fact that it's in walking distance of LSU (and the surrounding bars) is just icing on the cake.
