The menu doesn’t extend too far past ham, turkey, roast beef and salami sandwiches, but it’s the little things that make the difference, such as the hot peppers, fresh sprouts and celery just to name a few.

Louie’s is the place to go on a hot Texas day in San Marcos; the outdoor atmosphere really sets in the tone for cold margaritass and seafood.
