Nice vibe, good food

I tried the Thai Peanut Tofu Bowl with sweet chili and Thai peanut dipping sauces, served over brown rice. Separate vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free menus, plus their regular menu. Food for everyone. Very friend staff.

Lots of Vegan Choices

Stumbled upon Louie’s while walking around town. They had different menus hanging out front to check out. The vegan menu was two-sided and had lots of choices. I had the Thai Tofu Canoes. It was listed under the small plates but it was plenty of food for me. It had a nice level of sweet and spicy flavors, with shredded cabbage & carrots and marinated tofu. Very tasty!

Pros: Lots of vegan choices, Attentive staff

Cons: Do not have vegan buns for burgers

Vegan menu

Nice they have a separate vegan menu. Then you don’t need to spend time sifting through the main menu looking for food to eat.
I had the house made vegan burger. It was pretty good. It did not have any condiments on it. Should have asked for mustard. Fries were good. Service and wait staff very nice.

Solid vegan selection

They have a complete vegan menu, and what we had was both tasty and far more creative and capable than only Impossible Meat options. The Thai canoes were flavorful and fresh.

Pros: Complete menu of vegan finger foods, appetizers, Full menu of vegan and vegetarian meals

Cool Vibe and Good Food

More of an upscale restaurant but not too expensive. My favorite dishes are the Thai tofu wrap and the pesto tofu sandwich. Always upgrade to fries over the potato chips! It's worth it! Good place to go with non-vegan family and friends.

Pros: Food is good, excellent outdoor seating

Cons: Definitely not a vegan restaurant

Had a hard time ordering fully vegan

Decent vegan burger, but you have to explain to the host how to make a burger vegan...off the vegan menu?? Was difficult to order to simple vegan meals, if they had more knowlegeable staff there wouldn't be a problem.

Pros: Vegan menu...kinda

Cons: Lacking good staff

Five star worthy (if HappyCow would allow)

Really tasty vegan food, with a separate vegan menu listing over a dozen vegan options. We ordered the truffle fries, the Southwest bowl and the Thai peanut tofu bowl. Everything was delicious. Highly recommended

Watch out

Ordered off the vegan menu. The sauce that came with the fries was suspicious. I asked and it did contain milk. When you order off the vegan menu you shouldn't have to worry. Still learning. Vegan 2 years...

Pros: Great black bean soup, Veggie hummus was ok

Cons: Did soup contain milk?

Vegan Oasis

How wonderful to find a restaurant on our visit to Ashland where there is a separate vegan menu! The locally made tofu is very good! Also had the tasty, nutrition packed Organic Sesame Slaw. Service was very friendly and helpful with accommodating specific dietary needs. I now know where to eat whenever I'm traveling through Ashland!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, good service.

Cons: Parking can be challenging.

Vegan Menu with Great prices

I had a great experience ordering from their separate vegan menu. The prices aren’t too bad and are pretty decent considering the food tasted very good quality. I have the tofu burger and veggie burger with fries and sweet potato waffles. It was refreshing to get a decent veggie burger that came with a full side for a decent price and confirmed on a vegan menu. Thanks Louie’s! Would definitely recommend and Will definitely stop by again

Pros: Decent prices , 2 sided vegan menu , Tasty veggie burgers!

Great vegan choices!

I loved this place. The service was so friendly and it was wonderful to have a separate vegan menu. We Went there twice in 3 days...had drinks, a couple small plates - black truffle fries (mmmm) and Thai tofu canoes (outstanding!)...and the Thai peanut bowl (delicious). Creekside seating was lovely.

Will try someplace else next time

Get a seat outside by the creek for ambiance and that is why I'm giving them a 4. The lettuce wraps are just ok but look pretty. We couldn't pick them up and cut them instead. The hummus plate is bland in that it is plain hummus with carrots, celery and bread. We didn't have time for a main course so leaving review at a 4. I did give positive feedback that they should carry a veg cheese or sub (avo) for impossible burger without charging more. We did not have the burger.

Pros: Server was nice.

Cons: Read my review.

Double Sided Vegan Menu

We happened to meet the owner the day we were in. We expressed how thankful we were to see two pages of vegan entrees on the menu! She mentioned that she became vegan herself and is very proud of the new menu. Everything was yummy!

Pros: Lots of Vegan food!, Seating next to the creek in beautiful Ashland., Large, tasty mocktail drink menu too.

will be going again

They have a vegetarian menu where most things can be made vegan. I asked the staff if they had a vegan menu and I was given a cheatsheet to go with the vegetarian menu on how to make it vegan.
I ended up getting the Thai peanut wrap, which is already fully vegan. It was DELICIOUS. Messy, but so good. It came with a side of kettle chips but salad was also offered. They were very helpful with finding something vegan.

Pros: vegan cheat sheet , outdoor seating

Cons: not that many items that could be made vegan witho

Welcoming to vegetarians

Louie's is making a huge effort to be veg-friendly -- the new menu has V next to vegetarian dishes, and many of these can be made vegan. The staff is very friendly and accommodating -- always happy to answer questions and to help turn a dish vegan when possible.

Louie's is located in Ashland's Plaza and has a beautiful, dark-wood interior with a beautiful bar. The outdoor creekside patio is sprawling and a lovely place to dine in good weather.

Both the atmosphere and food at Louie's is fun and casual. There are many vegetarian options on the menu, fewer vegan-only items. The Thai peanut wrap is the best vegan dish on the menu. The Vegetarian Recession Burger can easily be made vegan, and the chili is also vegan.

Louie's is known for its mojitos, but the martinis are also fantastic.

With only a few places in Ashland that are veg- and vegan-friendly, Louie's is a great option.

Pros: vegetarian items clearly marked, vegetarian dishes can be made vegan, wonderful staff

Cons: only a few vegan items
