Highly recommend the huckleberry peach pie. One of the best pies I’ve ever had. Crust was perfectly cooked and the flavor is unbeatable. Picture is of the Huckleberry Cherry pie because I already ate the other one.
I enjoyed my burger. The waffle fries were a nice surprise, but the bourbon pecan pie a la mode was wonderful! They also cover the walls with art from local artists. The art is also for sale. Natalie, is a good server. I'll definitely be back. Highly recommend.
Loula's is one of the good spots in our town. I'm not a tourist, nor a visitor, but a local. We like the fact that we've been able to still feel 'at home' here - that changes haven't overtaken the sense that we're walking into a familiar spot that still has great service; food and a sense we are still living in 'our town.' Mind you, we sorta stay away during the busy times when too many visitors are waiting in line to have a good meal. But, when things quiet down - we love going back. And even during the 'busy seasons' the wait staff is patient and professional. We recognize faces and still have good food on our plate. The pies! well...what's not to love. We hope that Loula's never really changes....
Service was super friendly and quick. We had the Eggs Benedict, delicious classic dish. We also got the lemon stuffed toast. So good! Not too sweet and perfect amount of tartness. Finally we got the huckleberry (mixed berry) pie. Also super delicious and not too sweet, with a side of ice cream.
Located in the basement of the old Masonic Temple building in Whitefish. Needed to go down stairs to reach the entrance so I'm not sure if there is an elevator access for wheelchairs. The place is popular as we had a 20 minute wait on a Thursday afternoon at 1:30pm. Spacious and bright with high ceilings and artwork of paintings and photographs for sale on the walls. It can be noisy when the place is crowded. Friendly staff with fast and efficient service. The Hollandaise sauce on the Eggs Benedict was so flavorful and the poached eggs were perfect, not runny at all! Good selection on their menu for breakfast and lunch items.
Absolutely wonderful place to have brunch or breakfast anytime you are in Whitefish. The wait time can be long when it’s rush hour. The food makes it worth the wait. Portion sizes keep you content. The service will satisfy you. Prices are very reasonable for Whitefish. Try the fresh pies! They are probably the best you will try in all of Montana!
Love this place! The menu has practically anything and everything you could want for breakfast or lunch, and the lemon cream French Toast is out of this world! Service is amazing, friendly, and quick. Our server, Natalie was top notch! We will definitely be back!
