First and foremost, Lou, you have the most welcoming tavern I’ve ever set foot in. Walking through that front door, was like opening the door of your dream bar, you crafted yourself, at home! On top of that, having a cook, that cooks to order, exactly how you would want it! My wife and I came here for our first time today, for a to go order. I ordered the wings, crispy, tossed in hot and teriyaki sauce. I have been looking for these exact wings for the better part of 4 months since we moved here! These were the best wings I’ve had in the Okaloosa area! My wife got the Philly loaded fries, with a raspberry lemon cake, for desert! Perfection! The only thing I can change about this place is, post your new deserts online. Oh did I mention this place has new deserts every week, along with specials every week day! We will definitely be returning regularly.

We loved this place! Good in-between location to take our teenagers. We shot pool, played darts, and tried most of the food on the menu. Everything was DELICIOUS! Very impressed and very happy to have found this place! Service was quick and amazing! We'll be coming back every year!

Awesome food & atmosphere!Lou, you put a smile on my face today! It was one of those days where murphy's law was out to get me, and I just felt down in the dumps! I googled "burgers" looking for somewhere new to try and picked Lou's! I pass by it daily, but I have never stopped in. I do not regret it, and I'll definitely be back! Delicious burger and fries at great prices! You definitely won't leave here hungry! (I got it to go and didn't even make it out of the lot, haha!) Everything was perfect- I love the added touch of a toasted bun, too! Despite being a first timer in a sea of regulars, everyone was friendly and welcoming, too! High 5!

Visited for the first time last night and will return. The food was amazing, the entire bar (including the restrooms) were spotless. Although it was very busy and Lou was slammed, she took great care of us!!! This woman deserves serious kudos!!!!!

Folks, let me tell ya...for starters...this is the first time my wife and I came here. The establishment was pleasant and clean. The service was great....our bartender and waitress was the owner ...Lou. the food was excellent and beer was ice cold...did I mention the excellent service . To us she went above and beyond and it wasn't for show. We played several games of pool and she was still checking on us....I've lived and worked in ft walton beach, fl for many years. Including the past 4 yrs she's been open....and I'm impressed. We found our new date night spot....thank you Lou and anyone behind the scenes....
