Bar Louie

Dined here on a 1 hour layover from 6-7 PM on a Friday and was able to get in and out in time for the connection. There were only three other diners when I arrived. After waiting a minute at the entrance I was told to sit wherever I like. A few minutes later a waiter came over and took my order. A different person brought me my drink, and a third person came to take my order again. She went and checked on the order I placed, and I received my food about 20 minutes in. The staff were friendly enough, if not transactional. The Cajun pasta dish was fine. Small chicken cutlet and four shrimp were the included protein. I asked about the missing bell peppers from the description and was told “they must have run out.” I would have hoped to at least be informed in advance, as the dish was now the aforementioned protein and noodles. It was pleasantly spicy, though I wasn’t sold on such a spicy cream sauce. Perhaps with veggies in there it balances better. In all, for almost $50 for an entree, beer, and tip I would have expected more, even at an airport.

I’m not too typically one to complain about service or food however I ordered the avacado toast and couldn’t find any avacado. Another patron asked for more avacado and that’s when we found out it was a spread from a package. Disappointing. Service was okay. No one acted like they were happy about their jobs or even life itself. Food looked pretty on the plate but not that tasty.

We looked around to see what menus looked good at the airport. None were too impressive but I will tell you the cheese burger was great and the truffle fries didn’t disappoint. Our server, Oliver, was fantastic. It’s been a long day and this is just what we needed.

Bar Louie fits the bill for your food quest in Terminal D at DFW. The food was better than expected. The artichoke dip had good flavor and came out bubbling hot. The wings were meaty, crispy, and the sauces enhanced the experience. The pepperoni flatbread had a robust sauce and the crust was nicely crisp. The service was excellent. For a small space, there are too many large tv’s mounted on every square inch of the walls. It is very distracting and hard not to look at the screens. But what the heck, for many if it’s not a 60-inch flatscreen, a 5-inch screen will capture your attention.

I spent $19 for one of my favorite sandwiches just for them to give it to me completely dried out and old. The chicken was so dry I could barely swallow. I was only able to get one bite and immediately knew it was old chicken. I asked no goddess sauce because I don’t like it and it has it on both sides of the sandwich. I would like a refund or a remake when I land hopefully I am able too. I planned to eat this on my 5 hour flight and I haven’t eaten all day so I’m beyond disappointed and have to starve until I land.

I understand that working at a restaurant is hard, and working at a restaurant in an airport is even harder given the traffic flow and spikes in customers at different times during the day. Nonetheless, customer service is the hallmark of any successful business, and Bar Louie DFW fell well short of delivering and meeting our expectations today. We alerted our waiter to the fact that our burger was not well made (burnt and cheese not melted); instead of offering a solution (i.e., remake the burger, offer another item on the menu, or even apologize), our waiter stated, with aggression, that we ate a percentage of the burger and therefore there was nothing he could do. We asked for the manager, who also reiterated that there was nothing he could do. We did state that the fries were good (which is why we gave this review a 2 Star in the food category), to which the manager laughed. Not a good way to get repeat business or a 5-star review. And for waiters, I imagine that tips are an added bonus on top of the hourly pay they earn. If you meet your customer with compassion when they bring to your attention poorly prepared food (especially when you did not prepare it, but the chef in back prepared it), you should offer solutions to enhance their experience, which in turn would increase tip amount. The tip we left reflected how we felt about our experience today.

Was on a layover at DFW and Bar Louie was across from my gate. Decided to get an appetizer. Ordered the chips and dip trio to be told they are out of two of the three dips and to pick something else. Ordered an unsweet tea along with spinach and artichoke dip. Tea came and was not even filled up. Thirty minutes later, I was informed they are out of that also. Paid $3.79 for a partial glass of tea.

I had the pleasure of being served by AJ at Bar Louie in DFW today, and let me tell you, this guy is on another level. Even though the place was running low on napkins, liquor, and out of a lot of food, AJ didn’t miss a beat. The drinks he did whip up were absolutely top-notch—so refreshing and perfectly balanced. His service was lightning fast, and he was everywhere at once, making sure everyone was taken care of despite the shortages. You could see he was moving faster than anyone else on that floor, keeping the vibe positive and making the best of what he had. If you’re lucky enough to have AJ as your server, you’re in for a great time no matter what!

Last time I was in DFW I had a sad, tasteless and overpriced experience at Maggianos so I wasn't expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised by my experience at Bar Louie yesterday. The bartender was so much fun and made an excellent bloody Mary. I ordered the avocado toast that came topped with a fried egg and lightly dressed side salad. Delicious. I cleaned my plate!

They rip you off. Charged for a double shot of Tito's on a Lemon drop that was up and served with whole ice cubes in it. An up glass size is 6oz max so a double shot would have been a stiff drink with no ice in it (made right). I would go spend $14 at any other bar in the airport if you want anything worth your time or money.

I had an extremely long delay and was in need of a beverage. I wasn't sure if Bar Louie was still open because the website listed 7 pm for the closing time. Even though it was 7:30p, I decided to walk by anyway and I'm glad I did because they were still allowing patrons to come in. I was greeted by my server, Shaija and told to sit anywhere I would like. She asked me if I wanted to order food, which I found surprising because I didn't think the kitchen was still open. I let her know that I was just stopping in for a drink. I ordered my favorite drink - Effen Good Martini. It was very strong and oh so good! I also had the Grand Marnier Lemon Drop. It was good, but I liked the Effen more. I asked the bartender about their operating hours and she said they typically stop serving food around 7 and will stop serving drinks close to the last flight of the night. During my visit, they stopped taking food orders around 8 pm. The main dining area was roped off, but it had a decent amount of seating. I noticed that there were outlets behind the booth seating and there were a few large TV screens too. The staff was nice and attentive. Bar Louie is a great option (especially for drinks) if you're in Terminal D.

Service was friendly and fast! I highly recommend. Buffalo flavored wings were amazing and we devoured them! Pizza was pretty great too. Ambiance? People watching in an airport lol

A solid option for an airport. I liked their food and wine. Its cute and the decor is nice. What I didnt love was the manager sitting at the table next to me, working on scheduling and having awkward conversations with the servers about their lack of availability and how she didnt disclose she has school in her interview etc. It seemed very cold and also took away from guest experience.

Airport bars. The real heroes of our day. At the last minute, I decided to stop by this bar for a quick drink (Terminal D near gate D22). Unbeknownst to me, they were about to close up shop, but let me order a drink anyway. Maybe they could tell I was having one of those days. THE DRUNK DRINKS. - Seven & Seven (House Whiskey) | A classic highball drink. Sweet, carbonated, and a little alcohol to make everything feel alright. I drank it while waiting for my plane taxi in. THE VIBE. Small, but comfortable enough to unwind. The style is modern. They also serve a small selection of foods, but there wasn't time for me to try anything out.

I travel a lot and understand airports prices but this is ridiculous. Bar Louie charges twice what other venues charge. They show food prices but not drink prices. This receipt is for two double Woodford Reserves. An entire bottle in the duty free shop was $68.

DO NOT COME HERE POOR SERVICE AND COMMITTED THEFT. The server Priscilla barely checked on us, was very inconsiderate and was not happy to accommodate our friend who had dietary restrictions. But the worst part is that when I paid I clearly wrote down that I gave her a $20 tip despite her lack of care. And when I checked my bank statement she took it upon herself to add a $50 tip instead (the total should've been $210, however it came out to $240). I have pictures of the receipts as well as my bank statements as proof. The kicker is that when I tried to call the restaurant to ask to fix the issue I was sent to voicemail 15 TIMES. I have filled out a form on the Bar Louie website as well as sending a dm to the official ig account and I am currently waiting to hear back. What Priscilla did was theft and should be handled accordingly. I don't normally leave reviews but this was warranted as we did not treat her in any way that would suggest she should steal from us. We simply asked if a vegan could get some avocado toast. Good drinks tho. PS don't mind my terrible math on the receipt but it clearly shows that the tip was $20 and not $50

When we first say down the table was dirty. We asked could it be cleaned and she did. We sat down for 10 minutes and was never served. We watched multiple people being served while we were ignored. So we left. I also was not able to eat before my flight

A+ for my drink - the lemon drop was delicious. Atmosphere - C - typical airport restaurant atmosphere. Service - D - very slow. There did just seem to be one guy seating people, serving tables and bartending. (Ended up eating at Whataburger instead of Wolfgang Puck because it took so long).

The space was clean, quiet. The waiter was really sweet. The coffee was awful, and the only creamer was coffee mate. Salad looked pretty, but was extremely limp, with many rotted greens and the avocado was partly black. Thank goodness for the Bloody Mary.

Its good i mean its expensive for alot of reasons main its the location but food wasnt bad

It's the perfect place to stop for a drink and a bite before you get on to your flight. Located in Terminal D at the DFW airport, right opposite gate D22. I've been to their Dallas location but it was my first time stopping at their airport location. I got their Effen Good Martini and Truffle Fries (I usually don't eat too heavy before a flight). This martini was sooo refreshing and delicious, highly recommend. The fries were like any other place, good but nothing out of the world. The nice thing about the seating is that you have plenty of opportunity for people watching lol. All in all, would recommend.

Well, we all are experiencing delays nowadays and naturally, the best way to pass the time is with a strong drink and good food. WELL, if you are ever in Terminal D at DFW you must MUST visit Bar Louie!! The staff and the service is top level... and the drinks are just perfect. Craving a martini? Look no further than to the bar and to Nathan White.... HE KNOWS what he is doing! I must give a shout out to Mimi who made sure that everyone in the establishment is enjoying themselves while waiting for their flights. Highly recommend this spot!!

Had dinner and drinks on 9/15 and was served by Ajay. He was courteous, attentive, and was a delight as our server. The checken wrap was cooked to perfection and the sauce and blue cheese added the perfect taste blend. My complements to Ajay for making our experience memorable.

Dirty Dirty Dirty clean the place use a cleaning product and hot water clean towel. Sweep mop repeat. Paint would be good cover up the stains on the walls. One star just because I had two.

Waiting for my flight and wanted a glass of wine. Nice pour of a Cabernet and ordered a side of loaded tater tots. Hit the spot. Nice friendly prompt service and music playing that's actually music. I'll remember this for next time I'm in terminal D (across from D22).

Our hostess tonight was Mimi, and she was absolutely wonderful - extraordinarily thoughtful and had the absolute best service. The food was fantastic, but her making sure that we were taken care of and paying extra attn to detail was both rare and exceptional! Thank you, Mimi!

The hot pot (which I sought out based on a reddit review) was pricy, but solid with shrimp and 2 scallops, both cooked well. Can't say anything special about the beers, and 13$ each (airport!). Bar service was good and once I knew the channel on direct TV I wanted they made the change. High praise for an airport bar.

Awesome service and experience. Josh and the other workers have a positive attitude and great work ethic.

A martini before catching our flight. Was chilled perfectly. And served by friendly bartender.

for anyone complaining about ambience... it's an airport! however, i stopped because it looked like an unpretentious straight to the point bar. the bartender Josh made the best lemon drop martini i've had and was very attentive. i don't always take the time to write reviews but after the day i had he should be commended for his excellent customer service! the cajun pasta was also was really good.

We needed to stop somewhere quick during layover. We were able to be quickly seated and order was placed. We ordered wings and fries. Let me tell you now do not order an Arnold palmer. I was disgusted lol. Switched to a sweet tea and was told they only serve unsweetened. I ended up with a coke which I didn't drink. Our server was amazing and really worked hard to find something for me. He ended up added dimple syrup to the tea which sorta helped.

Half a star. Customer service is terrible. DFW airport terminal D. Wednesday morning, the workers do not want to work. I grabbed some napkins, waiter took the napkins out of my hands and gave me new ones to prove a point that I needed to ask him. When we walked in, the waiters said "I guess you can just sit wherever" the worst customer service experience in a long time. Please go somewhere else.

I visited the Park lane location tonight. I have to say I'm not sure what kind of bad day Josh was having but he was very very nonchalant and rude. Like I know he saw me but the greet was late and very dry. A guest even reached out to shake his hand after an introduction and he said " hold on I'm busy " he wasnt in a great mood. He messed up my order not once but twice when I asked for a Caesar salad with lite dressing it was literally drowning with dressing. I asked for a house tequila shot he rang in Casamigos that's what someone else ordered. The only reason I tipped him well was because he fixed his mistake. I'll be back but not on his shift.

Waitress with the black pony tail ignores customers of color. No greeting, just threw a menu on the table. However, at the next table, a very warm greeting with an introduction. I just walked out. 2024, can't believe it!!!

In an airport service needs to be quick. This was the slowest service i ever experienced. Missing items in the order. Just horrible. 0 stars.

Awful service, awful food. I sat down and 2 seconds later a server comes by asking for my order. I say I need a minute since I just sat down. 13 minutes later she comes back and I ask for a beer with a lime. There are no limes. I ask for a house salad with Bleu cheese, there's Cesar or ranch only. I get my plate quickly, there's a room temp "hot" chicken club sandwich and a Caesar salad when I ordered house. When I see her 10 minutes later I say I wanted house salad, she said that's how they come now during the pandemic but I'm clearly looking at a Caesar salad.. the itemized receipt says Caesar was entered, so she either lied to me or this place cut down the menu so bad it can't be distinguished. Either way, not coming back.

Well, I have to say I am pleasantly surprised by this bar. I figured Bar Louis means a Louisiana Bar but NO! It means a Louisville Bar! Clever girl... So I had a mule earlier and salad, then an awesome local beer, Blood and Honey, then calamari and an old fashioned. Good day. Good bartender.

The service was good but we ordered a chicken sandwich because they were out of turkey. Well.... the chicken was very odd it had the texture of steak. I was concerned it might not be cooked right because I had never had chicken that had that texture. The manager took it off and we paid and left. I wouldn't not recommend going here but I wouldn't recommend the chicken sandwich. I couldn't afford to risk getting sick before vacation so I just couldn't eat it.

We had 4 hour lay over in Dallas. We decided to eat at Bar Louie. Great decision. Food was great, great service, and great selection of music to enjoy our meal. Daniel and Tran took great care of us.

Whether you have 10 minutes before boarding or an hour to waste, get a bloody mary from Tran at the bar. She makes it perfectly balanced on the spice and the alcohol. I paired it with the quesadilla and it set me up for success for my 8 hour flight. Perfection! Also, it comes with every dressing possible (I already ate the bacon...)

Our flight was delayed and Bar Louie was right at our gate so we decided to get a drink and our server 6554 Tran was so friendly. Our order was taken right away and our drinks were made quickly and spot on. We didn't even need to ask for our check. It was brought right away when we said we were only doing the one drink. All airport servers should be this good.

Short staffed? Absolutely. The entire restaurant industry is. So for those complaining, why don't you try hiring people who 1) can pass a background check required to work at the airport, and 2) are willing to deal with the B.S. of going through security every day just to wait tables or cook food. Now that we've cut them some slack, we can talk about their very cheerful and pleasant (and severely overworked and outnumbered) team. I had to wait a bit for my burger but it was quite good. My drink was strong and so was the banter at the bar. Is it the best airport food? Nope. But these guys were busting their tails to try and make it the best they could. Keep that in mind all you Karens out there who've never had to work in these conditions.

Hundreds of people and they are closed No customer service wouldn't consider letting passengers that just landed to eat

Weird that it closes at 7:00pm but grateful that we could still order a drink at 7:45 after our flight has already been delayed 4 hours with no departure time in sight. But the tables could use a cleaning....

I arrived at the bar side of this restaurant. I asked for water to the bartender's serving me literally 7 times (no exaggeration). They denied me water until I purchased a alcoholic beverage. This place is unbelievable. The manager came up and said "are you gonna order something besides water?" before I even received a water. All I can say is I should sue this place. There is no time restrictions posted ANYWHERE, yet they rush you to leave. This place sucks.

Poor service, limited menu and everything needed a good clean. Unimpressed. Go to Flying Saucer instead.

Just had a wonderful breakfast at Bar Louie DFW terminal D by gate D22. My husband and I split the double egg sandwich. Delicious! Price was very reasonable. Nice to get out of the noisy crowds, relax and have good food.

Zero if I could, I came in here tired after a long day and long flight. Very tired and got refused service for being 'intoxicated'

Service was EXTREMELY slow and the food was average. Another table had to keep prompting the staff that were were sitting there and hadn't had our order taken. The normal place I eat in terminal D was closed and Bar Louie didn't have wait, that should have been a sign. Definitely won't be back, I'd rather go to McDonalds next time.

I'm leaving this review for Ashlynn. As a single woman I often go out and when I asked her where the bathroom was she let me know where. But before I got up, she asked for my drink and literally took it behind the bar so that nothing would happen to it. If that isn't a woman looking out for another, I don't know what is. It was the most heartfelt, thoughtful thing to ever happen from a bartender. I will literally just come back for her as I feel she's the real mvp, keeping women safe in this day and age. Kudos to this strong beautiful soul keeping all of us ladies safe.

Only word to describe my experience here. Poor, which is unfortunate. The service was poor. Half the time I felt invisible. The waitress didn't come around very often after the first time. She wasn't sure what a martini with a twist meant, nor did she know what an Aperol Spritz was (calling it an apple spritz). I don't blame her for not knowing what a cocktail or a drink is, especially if she's not of age, but I couldn't help but laugh at that. _ vodka martini with a twist $18?!??! What IS ridiculous though? I got charged $18 for a martini. $13 for the greygoose vodka martini-up, which was no big deal. Then there's ANOTHER $5 charge for " *special prep* with a twist." I literally got charged an extra $5 for a lemon peel. I asked the waitress why this was, and she said it was to make it "up." An "up" martini means chilled... Ridiculous to pay $18 for a martini, even in an airport. Is this actually normal? I know what a martini charge is but kinda seems like $13 should've been the final price... right? Maybe it was sticker shock but I still think &18 was insanely overpriced for a martini. _ quinoa chop with grilled chicken $17 So the food itself was FINE. The salad tasted good, but $5.50 for a sorry excuse of chicken? Whatever. That didn't make me as disappointed as the fact that it barely had any cheese, and it was missing the spiced chickpeas and carrots. The lemony dressing was good, but in the end, it was more so lettuce than anything else. The amount of any other ingredients that actually did make it in my quinoa chop was very minimal. Not worth the $17. I'll be going to DFW airport quite often for the unforeseeable future, but I won't be going to Bar Louie again. Not for the price, nor for the service.

Food was really good, service was so-so. Everybody around me seemed to enjoy their food as well. I would come back.

Semiconductor time coming here because I ALWAYS give a restaurant another chance because everyone is entitled to an off day. But it started and ended the same way. Arrive to a half empty dining room. Gentlemen host let me sit anywhere. I took a two top and he asked me if I want a drink. Iced tea please. He brings back an Iced Tea. No cocktail napkin, no straw. ( pet peeve of mine). 3 servers come and go. I'm sitting between 2 woman that have ordered food.... and the servers are bringing them food and drink.... but one even looks at me. ( even though I have that look of..hello... I'm here). Another server comes in... cleaning a table... picking up stuff... not even a glance. Finally I get the attention of one. Yes... I'd like to place my order. She says... you have an iced tea... and you didn't order? Uh... no. That's why I asked. So I order. Just a burger and a salad. Ice tea half empty. And I wait. My food comes out and she walks away before I could ask for silverware. Really? Come on... this is restaurant 101. Order food.. put silverware down. So up I go to grab my own. Then I realize I was never asked if I wanted Ketchup or condiments. Didn't see her again until my burger was done. My take on this is poor management. Why aren't servers taught to just keep an eye on all tables... not just ignore them if it's not theirs. And sitting here another couple... asking for silverware and ketchup. Ugh. The basics would have been good. Gave it the 2nd chance. I'm done... too many awesome places in this airport . Sorry. Oh and was just handed the wrong bill. There are exactly 4 tables taken . Come on.

Fruit flies, fruit flies everywhere. beware of food allergies here, Asked for non breaded wings, Was served both because you know..."whatever"

Loved the Chicken Caesar Salad! Huge portions and great flavor. Will definitely be back before a flight again.

First time being in Texas and what made it great was Bar Louie. Great place to drink and relax and have fun The best part about it was the waitress dressed up as launch she was great with getting our drinks to us fast 10/10 recommend going here

I guess i will say this i love it not just that i am one of the managers i eat here everyday i am working i am addicted.
