Louies Restaurant - (Near Waukegan, IL)

Pete_J An amazing experience all around. Joined the Waterleaf for dinner during the Regional American Cuisine - Spring 2025 semester. The restaurant is cozy but very comfortable. The service is limited so you dont feel shoehorned into the dining room. Instead, it lends itself to a relaxed enjoyable evening. The service was friendly and informative. If we had any questions about the menu our server was right there to answer them. The food was exceptional! I started with the Chicken Chile Colorado followed by the Arizona Chopped Salad and I selected the Pork Carne Adovoda. The food was AMAZING! Little sidebar about the online reservation system. It is set up to handle tables of 2 or 4. So, if you try to make a reservation for anything other than that it tends to respond that they are all booked up! If youre having trouble call the restaurant directly! Go enjoy and remember not only are you having a great night but you are also helping students take the next step in their career!

Joseph Boyer Great food and very friendly staff! I had the buffet and everything was delicious, with a wide variety of options to choose from. Prices are fair for the quality and selection. Definitely stop by if you’re in Pontiac!

Cadence Giddings Amazing food! I love the varied selection. The staff were very friendly and checked in with us several times to ask how we liked everything. I can’t wait to visit again! We’ve visited several times since and it’s always perfect food, fast serving times, and very nice staff. Love the menu selection.

Tra M Best salad in town!!! Service is always pleasant and quick with a smile. Throw a penny into turtle pond and make a wish! Recommend half price margarita days (Saturday + Wednesday). Steak night is mondays as well! Next time will get dessert! Love this place!

Angela Trevino Came from South Carolina to visit family in Chicago and on our way back home, we stopped here and . . . oh dear . . . Yummm! We ordered the Family Pleaser with a salad, breadsticks, and pizza, and a small spaghetti with meatballs. So good! The Sweet & Tart dressing needs to be sold in the South!

Nolan Enochs I loved this place! Their food names were creative and they were some of the best burgers I’ve ever had! I would recommend this, though it is a little pricey.
