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.
Jenny was fantastic! Great recommendations! I love watching the planes while enjoying our best meal in Bentonville! Definitely don't skip this one while visiting NWA!!

Unique, out of the way, breakfast all day place. Hidden inside a flight school on the edge on a local airport. Entertaining views if you like watching small planes. Jalapeño hush puppies are perfect!! Kids love it but so do the adults.

This was such a cute find for my family! We ate outside and my kids LOVED watching the planes take-off and land! The food was delicious, I highly recommend the breakfast tacos! My 8 year old recommends the chocolate chip pancakes! My kids were able to run around outside while we were waiting for our food! We were also able to talk to them about Louise Thaden, and we love anytime we can teach them about an amazing woman! All of the pictures and captions in the hallway outside of the restaurant added to the experience! All five of us, ages 6 up to 43, really liked this cafe!

I came here with a couple friends after work and it ended up being a really nice choice. The food came out pretty quick, everything tasted fresh, and the portions were just right. The staff was polite without being over the top, which I appreciated. Place was clean and had a relaxed vibe that made it easy to enjoy the meal. I think my fries could've been a little hotter, but honestly it wasnt a big deal. I'd definitely come back and try a few other things from the menu next time.

First time I ate here with my wife was fantastic! Plenty of great breakfast options with tasty drinks to enjoy as well!! Definitely recommend Louise! And the history of where the name Louise comes from is pretty interesting and badass!
