Louisiana in Oberhausen

Very nice restaurant. Good food, just a limited selection of cocktails. Otherwise everything was very quick and very friendly.

It's really great. Authentic New Orleans style, stout beer, and original decor inside. Outside, right on the water. Service was very friendly and quick, even though it was a busy night and they were just running around.

Very tasty food and very nice and friendly staff

Good food at reasonable prices. Smooth operation and fast service.

After 45 minutes there were still no drinks, and when I asked, the answer was blunt: you don't have to wait and you can leave. WOW great service and the last time we were there

The food was delicious and the service was top. We sat at a small square table on the covered terrace directly in front of the restaurant. I found the table a bit small for 2 people to eat, but for the intended 4 people who can sit on the other two chairs, it is definitely far too small if all 4 order food. In my opinion. Otherwise, Louisiana is definitely recommended.

Were there on May 4th, 2025 between 4:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. We were served super friendly (by waiter B.). Really nice and in a good mood 👍🏻 Hardly any waiting times, people were always looking and asking. Everything is great. The food was very tasty and the drinks were also great. We'd love to come back!

Always delicious Cajun cuisine!

Well, the longest bar in the world. Right next to Ballermann 6 there is also free musical entertainment. Service very nice

Unfortunately that was my last visit. I had to pay €11.50 for a non-alcoholic jumbo cocktail and that was during happy hour. When I asked what the regular price was, I was told: probably €19! 19€ for a cocktail without alcohol? This is really difficult to understand. What is even more incomprehensible is that this price is neither shown on the menu nor explained anywhere. Why do non-alcoholic cocktails cost the same as alcoholic ones? Unfortunately disappointing value for money.

Rump steak was very tasty and a large portion. Cocktails are good too

Tomo Chicken was very tasty and tender. The cocktails are also really recommended. Staff is very friendly.

Unfortunately I didn't like the food. Service was very nice.

Really good, tasty food. Large portion so you go home full

The cocktails were very tasty, as was our food. The employees were nice and helpful, and we didn't have to wait long. You can sit outside in a nice atmosphere. The toilets were okay. Pricewise rather average.

Very nice, tasty and not too expensive

The service staff are friendly and accommodating. The location outside is also very nice. Unfortunately the food was terrible. I ordered a cheeseburger with wedges. Unfortunately, the burger patty was not well done, almost cold and not well seasoned. For the price asked I would have expected something different. Very unfortunate.

very good service and very friendly. The burgers are still very good.

Fast and friendly service. Delicious food at reasonable prices.

Food is good. Prices ok. Service is ok. Cocktails are mediocre. There are better ones.

We wanted to go to the Rudolf Weber Arena and have something to eat beforehand. After walking along the promenade, our first choice was also the best. We took advantage of the nice weather and sat outside. The service was very nice and attentive and the drinks and food were on the table quickly. The food was delicious and the menu was extensive and had something for everyone. Only the portions were a bit small. Otherwise everything was great and we made the right decision to go to Louisiana.

Good food and the service was also very friendly and the price was okay too

Nice atmosphere and friendly staff who not only serve, but also ask every now and then if everything is ok 🔝Delicious poutine and burgers with fries. The patty could have been a little more cooked through, as others have mentioned here. Very tasty cocktails. Yes... the prices are not entirely without it but that's the case everywhere now. We'll be back. Addendum: Went there again today, April 12, 2025. The Louisiana burger was very tasty and the patty was well cooked. Both cocktails, Banana Joe and Touch Down were also delicious. When it got busier you had to wait a little longer for the waiter but then you just have to make yourself noticed. Nothing to complain about.

20 minutes of eye contact. Friendly asked. No waiter comes. Beyond my understanding.

If it would be possible I would have rated it lower. Everything was dry, we had 5 different dishes and all of them were terrible. My mom can cook better, which is saying something lol.🤮

Delicious food, quick and friendly service. Very large, very loud. Lots of activity.

Always very tasty and a very good price/performance ratio. Very nice atmosphere, whether outside or inside.

Spontaneous visit in sunny weather in the outdoor area with 6 people. Conclusion: • Delicious food, served in style. It's a shame, the fries were unfortunately not 'cross', but too soft. • The friendly, guest-oriented service was attentive and good organized. • The ambience is ok. • Recommended.

The food was ok and it looks good there. The staff consists entirely of foreign citizens who bump into you. Tips were added directly without prior consultation or knowledge and then rounded up. BBQ Bacon Citizen 16.90 + 5.90 Heineken = 22.90. We always charged the same price per person of €30! I find this disgraceful and we will not be coming back. Peter Pane around the corner is cheaper and much more pleasant.

Top atmosphere, good music, dancehall remixes with old school r n b on Friday evening and order food at 0020. And an outdoor terrace where you can sit, sheltered and heated, eat and smoke. 10/10

Pleasant place, excellent service, recommended

To compare with other restaurants, they could have more to offer.

Unfortunately my experience was not good at this place, we ordered cocktails and they were terrible, an unpleasant taste, so much so that we asked for the bill and left, the drinks were left untouched 🥲

Delicious wraps, decent portion, really lovely and friendly service 👍🏼

Service quick and friendly... food was good... price 🆗

Unfortunately, it was a disappointment. We ordered burgers, but the patties were raw inside. After complaining, we were given new ones – and the same problem again. The taste was terrible, too. The service was mediocre. We won't be eating here again.

Service was nice and quick. But the food was just so “meh”. Fries were soft, burger was rare instead of medium rare. Not satisfying in terms of taste either.

Nice restaurant with good food. It tasted very good and the prices were fair. Service was very friendly, except for the gentleman at the reception.

Unfortunately there are no birthday activities on the weekend... I thought that was a shame... people also have birthdays on the weekend and it wasn't full either.

We ate outside and my companion got pigeon shit

Very tasty and the service was attentive and friendly. Gladly again

Watch out! With dinner you get cola diluted with water/never again

Overall a solid restaurant. Yesterday the weather was sunny and warm, so there was a lot going on. We had to point out our lack of drinks once. Then they asked what was missing. Often the impression arose that one did not know which table the orders were for (tables not numbered internally?) There was a lot going on, no problem. What seemed strange, however, was that a tray was placed on an empty table to process orders. A bottle of soda tipped over and spilled. No problem at all. During the entire time, no one even thought of wiping the table etc. Generally recommended with room for improvement

The food was good. I had the pulled pork and the portion was completely sufficient. Fast and friendly service. The only downer was the loud music. It was difficult to have a conversation.

Eat Legga, nice staff, but unfortunately always so loud that you almost have to shout at each other.

We spontaneously went to eat there and there was a table for 6 adults and 2 children. The children were given crayons because there were designs on the table to color. The service was very friendly and the food was very tasty. There were also vegetarian/vegan dishes <3

Eat: I was actually hoping that you couldn't go wrong with baby back ribs and chicken wings, but unfortunately I was disappointed! The ribs weren't evenly hot, and some were even a little oily - that's what the cheap, pre-marinated and packaged ones from the supermarket must taste like. Also too salty The wings came whole (wing/drum) and were crispy but also far dry. Here too, salt was exaggerated. The fries were tip top, also in terms of saltiness! When it came to coleslaw, the chef fell in love again and again exaggerated the salt. It's rare that I return a half-full plate, but here I couldn't help it. service Impeccable - friendly, nice and on the ball Atmosphere: It's more reminiscent of a tourist check-in than an experience restaurant. Everything was also kept very dark. But overall ok.

Very nice, cozy, and nice service. The food tastes good. We like to go there. Update 02/25 Unfortunately the service yesterday was very chaotic, a lot was forgotten, sometimes a long wait and what happened to the portions. We used to be full, but yesterday all 4 of us were of the opinion that we ordered a children's plate. Guys, MC's Happy Meal has more fries than your burger. The burger was ok, but, for the price, you could definitely ask for more. Sorry but what is passion?.

Delicious food in a pleasant atmosphere

We really liked it. Delicious cocktails :-). Always my pleasure

Chicken wings were too burnt, but still tasty. Tomo Chicken was too much lettuce and not enough chicken. Cajuns were ok, although some were undercooked. Nevertheless, everything was actually fine

Unfortunately not what we expected. The rooster breast dish had little rooster. A baby rooster could be found. And make no mistake: the Caesar salad is without chicken! Quite disappointing all in all, even though it seems like a lot 🤷‍♀️ We won't be back.

An absolute must after a day in Centro. With friendly service you can enjoy lunch, dinner or just coffee and cake.

Great place to eat with friendly staff

Unfortunately we didn't even get in. Waiting time of 45 minutes. Very unfortunate 😕 The store was packed

After attending an event in the arena, we wanted to have something to eat late in the evening. No problem at all in Louisiana. Friendly employees quickly brought the delicious 😋 and rich food to the table. Since there was also happy hour for various cocktails 🍸 🍹, we stayed longer and had a nice rest of the evening. Unfortunately it is very loud inside...

The restaurant was very busy and luckily we had reserved a table. The service was extremely friendly and accommodating. The food was a long time coming, after 1 1/4 hours it was brought to our table. Burgers and co made a pretty decent impression. However, I had ordered a salad and additional chicken strips. The lettuce was dried at the cut edges and looked like it came from a prepackaged package. The tomato wedges on top were also dry. The chicken strips were pressed ready-made schnitzels that were cut into strips on a separate plate. These were not thrown back into the pan or hairdresser, which was evident from the limp breading and lukewarm temperature. Visually and tastefully scary. I have rarely received such poor quality in a restaurant. I think if you go to Louisiana you might want to choose a dish like burgers and fries or pulled pork. The only thing that was really good was the service. Too bad.

Conclusion: More appearance than reality :-( The Louisiana is a cool location with very hard-working employees (who really have a lot to do due to the large shop space ;-)) and a menu with a lot of selection (cocktails, burgers, rips, etc.) It wasn't difficult for us to decide on dishes and we were full of anticipation. Unfortunately, this was extremely limited when the food was delivered to the table: these are finished products that are sold for horrendous prices. Among other things, we ate burgers: including the “Premium Burgers” on the menu, which feature a ready-made patty with something around it. This "meat" tastes terrible and hardly resembles minced meat. The wraps were attractively presented, unfortunately the very liquid sauce inside did not combine with the contents. Spare ribs and chicken wings were okay. Unfortunately, we find the prices for these dishes to be significantly too high and the quality leaves a lot to be desired.

Food as always good, but the portions are getting clearer :(

There are regular customers there, the food is excellent, there is something for everyone. Service was courteous and extra requests were always taken into account despite the full house. Price/performance top. Thanks to our last service person MEVLÜDE, particularly friendly. See you soon

However, it is absolutely impossible that there is no WiFi for guests. I expect something like that to be standard these days...

Solid restaurant but with room for improvement 🍽️ Pros: ✔️ The atmosphere in Louisiana is cozy and modern. ✔️ The staff is friendly and accommodating. ✔️ Good selection of dishes. ❌ Cons: ➖ Waiting times could be shorter. ➖ Some dishes were a bit too salty and could have been fresher. ➖ The prices are in the higher segment and not entirely justified for the quality. 📌 Conclusion: The Louisiana in Oberhausen is a solid restaurant with good service and a pleasant atmosphere. The selection and the staff are convincing, but the quality and prices could still be worked on. My personal opinion – of course yours may be different! 😊

Burger wasn't good, everything just tasted like sauce and the patty was inferior. Fries were ok. Ginger Orange Lemonade contained no ginger and tasted like Sprite. A waiter moved across a neighboring table right next to us.

Greatly reduced menu , unfortunately , used to be better .

The Cajuns were really tasty, unfortunately that was it for vegans. Guys, it's 2025, you can expect a little more choice. The price was rather expensive, service was good, atmosphere mediocre.

Didn't eat here. But you can drink a few beers here

We were there today with six people, including two children, and enjoyed a “pre-eve” meal around 3:30 p.m. The service was good – fast, friendly and really accommodating. Unfortunately the food was disappointing. We once ordered the chicken wrap and five burgers, of which two children's burgers were free due to the promotion (there is a free children's meal with every adult meal until 4 p.m.) - a really positive offer! But the quality of the food really left a lot to be desired. The entire burger seemed like a ready-made wholesale product. The meat was tough, obviously frozen and didn't taste convincing. For the bill of around €120 - including two beers, a large bottle of water and two apple spritzers - we would definitely have expected more, especially fresh meat, as is usual in a real restaurant. Under these circumstances we wouldn't come here to eat again. However, the location is “okay” for a drink.

It was very tasty 😋 Unfortunately you couldn't make any special requests because, according to the waiter, many things had already been prepared

Unfortunately, you have to put it this way: Apart from the location, the Louisiana unfortunately has almost nothing in common with the one from the early days. While it used to be possible to speak of an atmosphere like that of the southern states, there is hardly anything left of the loving, inspiring decoration. Where an entire wall was once decorated with photos of well-known musicians, there is now simply nothing left. Instead you see cardboard boxes and a German flag. The music selection no longer has anything to do with Louisiana, but there is a DJ playing outside. When we complained to him, he replied that it would be sorted out inside. A conversation at the table was only possible by shouting.

A highly recommended restaurant! Of course not cheap in price, but bearable. A burger costs €17, and cocktails or non-alcoholic alternatives cost €10-13. The selection is clear but completely sufficient, with vegetarian and one (?) vegan option. Personally, I'm not a big fan of the flat screens that show music videos (and advertisements) on the walls, but of course you can also sit so that you don't see the whole thing, or outside, so it's okay. The food was really tasty, I had the Ceaser Chicken Wrap, highly recommended. If requested, even without peppers :) When it comes to guests' requests, they really do what they can. I was there at lunchtime and it was relatively empty - in the evening it should generally be a bit more crowded. Generally a nice restaurant for burger lovers!

Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with my visit to this restaurant. The service was unfriendly and extremely disrespectful. When I asked to speak to branch management, I was told that the person in charge “didn’t have time.” This behavior is unacceptable and gives the impression that customer requests are not taken seriously. Overall, the visit was a bitter disappointment and I would recommend everyone to look for an alternative that values ​​friendliness and service.

Mega delicious food and cocktails We had the BEST service Thank you very much, Melly, for the great evening!! Happy to come back!!!

Mega leckeres Essen und wir hatten die BESTE Bedienung!! Vielen Dank Melly für den schönen Abend!! Wir kommen wieder!!!

Casual atmosphere, delicious food

Spinach stripes are an absolute must in Louisiana, haven't tried the rest. Good drinks and a super nice team every time I'm there. Cake sensational

The food is very good and tasty, the burgers are recommended, the staff is very friendly and the portions are reasonable for the price, so the restaurant is highly recommended.

As always, very nice service and super good food!!!

Large restaurant, high ceilings, typical southern furnishings. Friendly service, food is fast food, but quite good. The Cajun fries are delicious.

Food was good as were the drinks. But the service was bad, they kept skipping us. In the end it took more than half an hour to pay because no one helped us, and a tip was added without us wanting it.

The waitresses were completely overwhelmed. We sat for 10 minutes until someone came, even though we politely asked the waiter if we could order something. When you finally get your order, it was also wrong. The restaurant seems very cozy, but the staff leaves a lot to be desired. We didn't eat anything. After a long wait and the wrong order, we left

It was delicious, even if we just spontaneously wanted a little something

Great selection of dishes, our burgers were a poem. The price is absolutely right and the lunch menu makes it very pleasant. Ambiance of course with an American touch. but with that special Louisiana touch, very cool!

Very tasty, very friendly service.

I ate with my 4th child, I myself have a milk intolerance. The menu card conveniently indicates what the allergens are with letters, BUT BEWARE. That's not right at all, I ordered BBQ pulled pork. I don't speak German myself, so I just went by those letters with what I wanted to eat, and there was cheese in my dish. OBVIOUSLY the allergens are just not correct at all, be careful if you eat here. The waitress only kept talking German and also got angry at me because I should read the menu better. THEN I got a plate with only fries which I had not communicated, she got angry at me because I should read the menu better. Clearly their allergen map is simply wrong. I think it's really rude how poorly I was treated, I will never eat here again!!!!

Had a cocktail after the Fantastischen Vier concert, was in a good mood, the restaurant played Fanta4 music, simply wonderful. After a fantastic concert, the successful end. We didn't eat anything, so no review. Service friendly and quick. Merry Christmas 😊

Typical system catering. Friendly staff, good value for money.

Always friendly and accommodating in a rustic atmosphere. The food is always delicious. :)

I find this place to be very loud. Unfortunately the pork steak was very dry. If the noise doesn't bother you, you'll definitely feel more comfortable there

The Louisiana is dark inside, but that's exactly what gives it its flair. The portion sizes of the dishes are quite large. So you can't complain about the prices for the dishes.

Super tasty and acceptable prices

Mevrouw van de bediening zou op staande voet ontslagen moeten worden. Het was druk, dat begrijp ik. Maar… als ik na vier keer langslopen de serveerster wenk omdat ik wil bestellen en ze rolt al met haar ogen voordat ik iets kan zeggen is de toon al gezet. In mijn beste Duits vraag ik: “Kan ik bestellen alstublieft?” Waarop mevrouw me bits antwoordt: “Ik sta hier toch? Bestel dan!” Yoooo! Cocktail was prima al hoort een Hurricane (het restaurant heet Louisiana! Daar komt de Hurricane vandaan!) passievruchtensap te bevatten, nee dus. Salade van mijn vrouw verzoop in de saus, maar goed. Toen ik wilde afrekenen (serveerster negeerde onze tafel geruime tijd) vroeg ik aan een glazenophaler of hij iemand kon sturen. Vijf minuten later nog steeds niemand. Serveerster negeert ons. Nogmaals gevraagd aan tweede persoon die daar werkt. Nog steeds niemand die komt afrekenen. Toch serveerster aangeschoten die me toesnauwde dat ik even geduld moest hebben en ze écht écht écht zó zou komen. Maar ze kwam niet. Had andere dingen te doen, zoals kwekken met collega’s aan de bar. Uiteindelijk naar een kassa gelopen en nog als gevraagd of ik alsjeblieft kon afrekenen. Kreeg de volle laag van deze vrouw: ik had maar geduld te hebben. Waarop ik boos antwoordde dat ik het al drie keer gevraagd had en al twintig minuten zat te wachten. Dat was niet waar volgens haar. Ik ben kwaad weggelopen. Mijn vrouw heeft nog netjes betaald maar niet voordat ze van de serveerster nog te horen kreeg dat haar man een moeilijk mens was. Wat mij betreft wordt deze vrouw ontslagen. Zij begrijpt werkelijk NIETS van klantvriendelijkheid, gastvrijheid of vriendelijkheid in het algemeen. Niet dat het wat boeit want de zaak zal altijd vol zitten met stumperds als ik die als een lowlife behandeld kunnen worden zonder dat er iets verandert. Ik heb meerdere recensies gelezen over de bediening en dat loog er niet om. Klanten die bedreigd werden zelfs.

It was busy, I understand that. But… if, after walking by four times, I wave to the waitress because I want to order and she rolls her eyes before I can say anything, the tone has already been set. In my best German I ask: “Can I order please?” To which the lady answers me sharply: “I'm standing here, right? Then order!” Yoooo! Cocktail was fine, although a Hurricane (the restaurant is called Louisiana! That's where the Hurricane comes from!) should contain passion fruit juice, so no. My wife's salad was drowned in sauce, but good. When I wanted to pay (waitress ignored our table for quite some time) I asked a glass collector if he could send someone. Five minutes later, still no one. Waitress ignores us. Asked again to second person working there. Still no one to pay. Still, the waitress was tipsy and she snapped at me to tell me that I had to be patient and that she would really come right away. But she didn't come. Had other things to do, like chatting with colleagues at the bar. Finally I walked to a cash register and asked if I could please pay. I got the full brunt from this woman: I just had to be patient. To which I angrily replied that I had already asked three times and had been waiting for twenty minutes. That was not true according to her. I walked away angry. My wife paid nicely, but not before the waitress told her that her husband was a difficult person. As far as I'm concerned, this woman is fired. She really understands NOTHING about customer service, hospitality or friendliness in general. Not that it matters because the place will always be full of wimps like me who can be treated like a lowlife without anything changing. Three drinks and a salad, €43.50.

It went relatively quickly, the burger tastes very good, but the meat is probably frozen because no one asks about the degree of frying.

Delicious food for a fair price, but that is entrusted to our German neighbors

After sitting on the terrace for 20 minutes and asking if we could be helped and still not being helped, we left 😡

The name louisiana has nothing to do with the food. No gumbo. No shrimps. Just an ordinary steak hmmm house

Great restaurant. Very reasonable prices. Lovely staff. Food is scrumptious 😋

We arrived late for dinner and were warmly greeted and served by the waitress Diana. The food was good and the atmosphere was great, especially the music!

Great location, great food, great service

If you find eating in Center O or at the Christmas market too busy, this is a great alternative. A soft drink is included with each main course!
