November 07, 2023 // Franchising.com // DALLAS - Bar Louie is embarking on a fresh era of culinary advancements spearheaded by the brand’s recent leadership hire, Vice President of Culinary and Executive Chef Joel Reynders.

Reynders, who spans an illustrious career of more than 25 years in the restaurant industry, is introducing an entirely new category of dining to the brand targeting dinner-minded guests with a refreshed collection of chef-inspired entrées.

Available now at all Bar Louie locations, guests can enjoy elevated dinner menu selections such as:;

Truffle Mushroom & Asparagus Flatbread – spinach cream sauce, mozzarella, provolone, parmesan, asparagus, mushrooms, roasted tomatoes, artichokes, truffle aioli
Shrimp and Grits – jumbo shrimp, cheesy grits, andouille sausage gravy, applewood smoked bacon, scallions
Parmesan Crusted Chicken - two grilled chicken breasts, mozzarella, provolone, garlic parmesan panko crust, grape tomato bruschetta, roasted baby potatoes, zucchini
Steak Frites – 12oz New York strip, garlic butter, truffle fries, parmesan, truffle aioli

These contemporary courses are an extension of the brand’s highly successful dinner menu test launch, introduced earlier this year at select locations. With fanfare for the new menu lineup at an all-time high, Bar Louie is also introducing a bevy of original sides available to thoughtfully accompany one’s entrée selection. Selections include roasted potatoes, pan seared asparagus, grilled zucchini, crispy truffle fries, house slaw and cheesy grits.

Mainstays on the menu like Bar Louie’s signature burgers have also undergone enhancements as part of the brand’s culinary revamp. Bar Louie’s burgers now feature 1855 Black Angus Beef, known for its premium quality and unparalleled eating experience. The craft burgers will now feature a larger half-pound patty, a 2oz increase from the previous 6oz burger.

"Joel has shown an incredible ability to elevate the culinary experience for our guests," said Brian Wright, CEO of Bar Louie. "One of his key contributions has been revamping Bar Louie’s core menu with on-trend, savory offerings to reenergize our existing core customers and attract a newer crowd that is both flavor and cost conscious.”

Part of Bar Louie’s DNA is both approachability and affordability, which is why they are introducing a new wallet-friendly offer. The brand is proud to extend their incredible Burger Tuesday special to be available all week long. From Monday – Friday 3-6pm and all-day Tuesday fans can enjoy any of Bar Louie’s signature craft burgers with choice of fries or tots for just $8**
