In the heart of Superior, Wisconsin, The Original Louis’ Cafe is serving some delicious Greek food with a side of local tradition. Originally established in 1946, this iconic breakfast and lunch spot served the community for nearly five decades before closing its doors in 2004. But it was not dead forever. Thanks to the dedication of the grandson of the original owner, this beloved eatery has recently been revived and is breathing new life into the city’s dining scene. Here’s what you need to know about this great Wisconsin restaurant.
The story of Original Louis' Cafe began in 1946 when it first opened its doors to the people of Superior. For almost half a century, it became a cherished establishment, known for its warm ambiance and mouthwatering menu offerings.
After closing its doors in 2004, the fate of Original Louis' Cafe was not hopeful. However, the grandson of the original owner took it upon himself to revive this culinary gem. He worked in restaurants around the world before returning to help open this dining spot.
Be sure to arrive hungry! The portions are substantial, and there’s a lot to love on the restaurant's menu, including pancakes, omelets, skillets, sandwiches, gyros and more.
Original Louis' Cafe prides itself on being a full-service breakfast and lunch restaurant, providing not only delicious dishes but also a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Dine alone or come in with some family or friends.
The revival of this longtime Superior establishment is not just another restaurant choice in Superior – it’s a return to something special that was almost lost forever. Thank goodness it survived!
