RestaurantAmerican RestaurantBreakfast Restaurant
Louise at Thaden Field is a modern all-day cafe serving elevated diner-style breakfast, brunch, lunch, and weekend dinner in the heart of Bentonville's aviation community. Named after pioneering aviator and Bentonville native Louise Thaden (1905-1979), our restaurant honors her legacy of innovation, courage, and community spirit.
Located in the Thaden Fieldhouse at Bentonville Municipal Airport, Louise offers a dining experience unlike any other in Northwest Arkansas. With both indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the runway, guests enjoy spectacular views of private planes taking off and landing over Lake Bentonville while savoring comfort classics with a modern twist—from our famous $100 Burger and Hippie Hash to Fresh Salmon Salad and seasonal specials.
Whether you're a pilot flying in for a meal, a family looking for weekend brunch, or someone seeking a unique dining destination, Louise bridges the thrill of aviation with the warmth of great food and hospitality. We're more than a restaurant—we're a community hub where arrivals meet appetites, and every guest is welcome at our table.

- DGDavid Glenn5 days ago5.0Fantastic food and the best seasoned fries in town. Service is top notch. Grab a meal and watch the airfield, great time.
- MHMichelle HenryJan 5, 20265.0This is a cozy little spot on I Street in Bentonville with lots of charm and fantastic food. The staff are all upbeat, knowledgeable and efficient. We came for lunch and enjoyed seeing the planes, browsing the gift shop area, and savoring the delicious food. The fried chicken is top notch Southern fare, and should be the first thing you try! The vegetable hash was bright, warm and perfectly cooked. I was very impressed!
- CCChristi Hernandez, CRPDec 18, 20255.0The cutest place ever. Love the view of the planes from the windows! Best pumpkin spiked latte, the cutest server, Kylie asked if I “landed” on anything to order. How cute, it’s the little things and details. It’s hard to pick a star of the show with the latte, the view and Kylie but the food has entered the chat! Omg everything was amazing. I would be a regular if I lived here. 13/10 recommend!
