    Always a good experience, whether I'm having dinner or just grabbing some beers. Great food... I love all the sandwiches, and the tuna is incredible. I always order the crab dip as an appetizer! Love the laid-back atmosphere!

    The place is always packed especially when there is entertainment outside. Everyone seems to know everyone it's like an upscale Louisiana Cheers.

    I think the food is very good but I have to rave about the Bloody Mary, that Cajun seasoning on the rim is fantastic!

    Bottom line, if you want a place to eat in a downtown that is being revitalized with great food and a nice bar and an outside patio...GO HERE!

    Downtown Lake Charles was like a ghost town during our winter weekend visit. We only saw passing cars until we arrived at the well-acclaimed and excellently rated Luna Bar & Grill. Before our trip, I used Yelp to find a good restaurant and Luna was the seemingly best choice.

    Parking appeared very sparce, with only 3 spaces in front of the building, only to later find out that there was parking in the back of the building also.

    After the excellent reviews, I expected Luna to be a lot bigger, but we were met with a narrow, yet completely filled space. They found us a seat in the middle of the floor between a bar and a booth that was a little tight, but after the food arrived, we quickly forgot about the space issue.

    The waiter was extreemely helpful in advising which dishes we should try. We started off with the Crawfish Bread appetizer, and although it was not loaded with crawfish, it had just enough to satisfy and not fill. I picked the Chicken Ella and my friend picked the Luna Tuna, both at the recommendation of the waiter. These dishes definitely did not disappoint. I loved the sauce of the Chicken Ella, but I loved the cut of Grilled Tuna that I tried on my friend's plate. It was so moist and tender, and as fulfilling as a steak. The Tuna dish cost a few more dollars than the menu claimed, but they did have a sign stating that Tuna prices could vary based on the season, so I wasn't disappointed or taken aback.

    We will certainly be visiting Luna again on our next trip to Lake Charles!

    My go-to place for date night. Their food is amazing. I've had the Venus sandwich for lunch. That was great! I've had the chicken Ella, Red Fish Ian and absolutely loved both! It's a tough decision each time I go. Staff is super friendly, with a 'feel good' atmosphere. Definitely recommend.

    The absolute best food in the Lake area.  My go to date night.  Great draft choices, excellent food.  The only bad thing is the slow kitchen, but I overlook that (especially if there is jazz on the patio).  We usually stick to the sandwich menu because of the reasonable prices and great choices.  Don't order the turkey sandwiches though....I thought it would be a slice of "real" turkey but it is deli meat....the only sandwich I don't like.

    Was done with yet another week long job in a town i dont know, & with one evening left over for hunting down & attempting well deserved enjoyment, and food worth eating in a town that I will be flying out of in the AM.

    Luna's got me....!

    The employees knew what to do. I was seated and served a smile with a menu. (Menu with great sounding food that I was not used to seeing before)

    I Recommend the NEPTUNE MELT!!!

    Thick, pink, fresh, seasoned, & seared Yellow fin Tuna steak, jalapeno mayo and thin sliced crispy pickle on Jalapeno Sourdough SANDWICH! WHAT....best sandwich in all of my travels.

    I hope to be back in Lake Charles again some day  and try out one of the 20 other fantastically dreamed up sandwich masterpieces at LUNA's.

    FIVE STAR EXPERIENCE

    Out of this world!!!

    Awesome place! We had the Spinach Artichoke Dip for starters.  The dip was wonderful, rich and creamy.  The chips were lightly fried, but still had a great taste.  I've been to dozens of Mexican restaurants and never anything like these chips.   I had to resist myself from finishing off the dip.  The "Big Dipper" size was way too much for three.  I had the Red Rock Fish (red fish fried in Abita Springs beer batter) served with a honey mustard (?) dipping sauce.  Wow!  The first bite was incredible.  Like the chips, the fish was lightly fried.  It was tender and a little flaky.  It was alot of fish for an order.   I didn't mean to eat all of the fish, but it was too good not to.  I was on vacation.  

    Simply put, this place was great.  An usual combination of great food, a cool casual atmosphere and a friendly waitstaff.  

    I can't wait to go back to Lake Charles to go back to this place.

    I found Luna's while traveling for work. The staff are amazing and the food is great. Try the Tuna! One of my favourite bars in the states.

    What a cool place! Loved the band posters adorning the walls. I will judge a place by your decor and more importantly the music you associate to the atmosphere you are presenting.  Thank you, thank you, thank you. Avett Brothers, Mumford and Sons, Wilco... This laid back and yet flavorful music transcends itself in the food you are producing.  Everything served to us was so fresh, cooked to perfection, and flavored masterfully.  Also, great draft and bottled beers to chose from.  Nice to be in a bar in the south that serves more then miller, bud, coors, etc.  Lastly, some of the best service we have had in the south yet.  Super attentive, helpful, and interesting.  Loved coming here for lunch. If only I wasn't curious in trying a new place before leaving town, I would have been happy to return here for dinner.  Everyone loved their sandwiches.  Get any tuna sandwich and don't shy away from the jalepeno cheddar sourdough roll.  This was the group consensus.

    Love Love.  I buy the Tuna salad with all the works.  They are starting to get to know me now that I am in there all the time!  Its awesome.  My husband loves the chicken pacetti.  Very good and rich.  Fun atmosphere.

    I eat here quite often as it's walking distance from my house.  The sandwiches are pretty wonderful & i love the foccacia bread as a choice.  They also offer flavored mayo for all the sandwiches...yum!  I agree with the wait stafff being kinda flaky, although it seemd to be more of an issue with the female servers than the males.  If there's a popular band playing, the restaurant can get packed & loud so if I want to be able to talk or read I don't go here on a weekend night.  All the appetizers are really good, i especially like the breaded mushrooms.  post note:  I have moved from Lake Charles and during a recent visit, they no longer have the focaccia bread which was really disappointing.

    Its ok, when I went I got there fiery rings of Pluto sandwich and it was pretty good, but very small and not as good as Darrells. It was a over priced. The service was bad it took a while for my food to come but waitress was very good about refilling the drinks.

    one of the first ever shows we did in Louisiana was at Luna and they hooked us up with grub... DAMN it was good.  some of the best pre-show food in 2+ years.  no BS.  crew raved about their tuna.  awesome fries,  awesome bread.  good stuff.  certainly worth ducking into for a nice meal if you find yourself in or traveling through Lake Charles.

    This restaurant is spectacular. The fries were perfectly crisp and cajun spiced, the crab dip was excellent, and my shrimp burger was over the moon. The menu, mostly American and seafood, has an array of traditional and innovative dishes bound to appease every kind of eater. Coming from NYC, I was skeptical about Lake Charles' restaurant scene but this place does wonders for the taste buds and surprises even the most jaded of tourists. GO GO GO!

    Omg! This place is incredible. We were driving from Houston to Baton Rouge and "yelp-ed" this. You'd be crazy not to stop by and give it a try!! Great menu. Average meal about $14 (give or take). We will DEFINITELY be stopping by when driving along I-10 again.

    FYI: as of 8-3-12 there's a bit of construction around the location. It's still accessible though. Parking isn't the most convenient.

    Wow!  Was driving all day from Houston to Biloxi and landed around Lake Charles at 5:30 so yelped and found Lunas. A little hard to find through the construction- but what a find! No a soul in the streets or around, then open the door and the place was packed- mostly locals. Sat at the bar and got a cup of the crawfish corn chowder- GREAT!. Then got some gator balls- were like a mix of good ole boudin- ate 4 and was stuffed- comes in a big order so be sure to share! Then I had the Neptune seared ahi tuna sandwich melt- with Jalapeno bread, I was in hog heaven. I was craving good ole Louisiana cajun food and this hit the spot, but with some class. Nice decor, great service, got my vote!!! Loved it. Can't wait to come back and take my son. He loves all the food I talk about on my trips and he would have loved this.

    Had to register with Yelp just so I could post this review. The Redfish Ian is one of the best things I have ever eaten. Blackened redfish topped with sautéed spinach, mushrooms and lump crab meat with a cream sauce. I didn't want to finish it because I didn't want the meal to be over.

    I am from New Orleans and was recently in Lake Charles for work. I had the Venus sandwich with grilled shrimp, my boyfriend has had 2 of the chicken sandwiches. Everything was perfect. The jalapeno cheddar bread is phenomenal, as are the fries. Good tap selection, I had a shiner on tap which is rare to find in New Orleans. The taps were clean (i'm pretty picky about that, too). Our service was great, we came in for an early dinner around 6 and there was plenty of outdoor seating. We were in and out in less than an hour, and it was great for the price. Surprisingly, I would say this place competes with my favorite New Orleans sandwich shops, Milk Bar and J'Anita's!

    We love this place! It has a great atmosphere, terrific food, and friendly wait staff. I love the Earth Burger and fries with an Alien Amber Ale. On nice nights, you can enjoy sitting outside on the patio. We've never had any problems with slow service or inattentive waitstaff as some of the reviewers have mentioned, and we go pretty frequently. Check it out, you won't be sorry.

    Great food, great service the shrimp bienville was fantastic not to be missed. Being from the New Orleans area the decor in the location made me feel right at home. Best meal that I had while in Lake Charles.

    I have always been a big fan of Luna.  You can't go wrong with one of their sandwiches.  Their salads make a perfect lunch.  The staff is ALWAYS friendly and willing to give recommendations based on your preferences.

    Dave has put together a great setup with Luna Live right across the street.  Luna and Luna Live make for a great Friday night of dinner and music!  You have to check it out.  You'll probably see me there.

    Find yourself in Lake Charles, go to Luna for dinner, order the Luna Tuna with whatever side you desire.  You'll be a fan, too.

    I completely expected this place to be a fairly normal "bar and grill" from the look of it....but was completely blown away by the sandwiches we ordered. I can't remember the exact name, but maybe it was the Fires over Pluto (?) fried chicken sandwhich and the Earth veggie burger? They were huge for the price and delicious. The regular fries and the sweet potato fries were wonderful, too. I will DEFINITELY stop here again whenever I am in Lake Charles.

    I am from Cali. and I've been living in Lake Charles for 3 months with my wife. We both really enjoyed Luna because it reminded us of Berkley. The place was small and packed inside the building and outside the walls had paintings and live music after I think 9. If you show up for the live music you have to pay a cover. We ate and stayed for the music and we did not like it! After 30 mins we had enough and decided to call it a day. The food was good and so was the service. The only thing we didn't like was the band for that night.

    This place is great. I've tried several of the sandwiches and salads. All are very tasty. I especially liked the Crawfish Corn Bisque. Service has always been good, not as others have describe it. The only problem I have ever had here is having to wait for a table.

    Ate here recently after avoiding for a while.
    Same great food. Same slow service.
    Arrived after 1 pm. Got in and out in 70 minutes.
    Food 4 stars. Service 1 star.
    Sadly, I may never come back.

    We had business in Lake Charles early the next morning, so we drove in from Houston after work, which made for a long way to end a Friday.   Planned dinner at Luna after reading Yelp reviews and we were not disappointed.  

    Wait staff was friendly, talkative and made us feel welcome to sit with a glass of wine and study the menu with no pressure to put in an order too fast.  love that.  also loved the live music in the alley-like venue space at Luna. We were fortunate that night to find the owner on lead guitar and stayed late after our delicious meal to sit and listen... and have more wine.

    As for eats: the menu was varied and offered something for munchies or full-on dinner.  We opted to start with the Nebula Mushrooms. They were just as described, but not the best choice for us, i guess... could have been served more warm and as a foodie, i have to say the cheese and mushroom flavor profile just doesn't work.  The menu says it's a blend of seafood and cheese, but if the seafood was there, it didn't come to party.  we chalked it up to a poor choice on our part and moved on to the entree.

    We did a pan-sauteed fish with a creamy seafood sauce. can't find menu online, so not sure exact title of the dish, but it was prepared very nicely, if maybe a little fishy for us (we are a picky pair, though).  

    All in all, a very tasty and pleasant dining experience.  The atmosphere, great (cheap!) wine list along with fun, happy wait staff made up for the tiny shortfalls in the dishes.  

    If we ever find ourselves "trapped" in Lake Charles again, we will definitely go back.  Worth a stop.

    Came here for lunch on a recent weekend trip to Lake Charles.  I'm from Texas, and upon entering my first though was that this restaurant looks very much like something you would see in Austin.  There was a good crowd and I was excited to check out some of the items on this interesting menu.

    Unfortunately my experience here was a bad one.  This was without a doubt the slowest service I have ever experienced at a restaurant.  We ordered and still didn't have any food on our table an hour later.  It took about 75 minutes for our food to arrive.  My tea glass was usually empty during this time, and that looked to be the case at all the tables around me.

    When the food finally arrived I'll admit that it was pretty good, but service like this will ruin even the best of meals.  If they would hire a couple of bus boys it would probably solve most of the problems.  Would absolutely never go back here.  I wouldn't recommend it unless you have 2+ hours to kill on a sandwich.

    I've only been here once during lunch, but the food was pretty good.  I've gotten one of the many sandwiches they offer. I forgot what it was called, but I remember it had seared tuna in it.  The prices are somewhat on the expensive side for a sandwich.  The service was good and the atmosphere is pretty lively and hip.  I might come back when I have run out of other places to eat, but I'm in no rush to come back.

    Got there early and was greeted promptly upon entering.  

    Vegetable sampler appetizer was good. Shrimp salad with cosmic dressing was tasty, had six nice sized fresh shrimp on a bed of romaine and wild greens.

    Focaccia Mars (turkey, provolone, olive salad, sautéed mushrooms, lettuce and tomato) was excellent, but olive oil drenched the bottom and pooled on the plate a tad, which I attribute to the preparer not taking the time to drain the excess olive oil off the spoon when adding the olive salad to the sandwich. I found the Cajun fries to be nothing out of the ordinary and are pretty standard fare in SWLA.

    The servers seem to be friendly and chatted a lot behind the bar among themselves, service only suffered slightly.  

    Nice new booths, hip atmosphere overall....a smidgen overpriced, but the food is great, I'm a fan....

    I only went to Luna's once, but the food was pretty good.  I think it's a little overpriced for what it is, especially since the service left a lot to be desired.  However, like I said, the food was good.  I love the atmosphere and I could've sat in there for quite some time reminiscing with my old friend--had I not been getting the eye from the waiter.  It's like, c'mon, guy--you're not busy at all and we just wanna visit.  Can't we sit and chat a while?

    It's not like I wouldn't go again, but I certainly love other places more.

    Had lunch here.  Tasty sammiches and cute menu.  The staff was friendly & helpful  AND they have 1 vegetarian sandwich!  We had a neptune melt (tuna), a venus (grilled shrimp) and 2 veggie burgers.  Oh, and the fries are addictive.

    Luna's is a great restaurant in downtown Lake Charles, LA. It's a small place but the food is fantastic and the wait staff is usually very friendly. At times the kitchen can be slow, so if you are in big rush during lunch, you may want to look elsewhere (but it is hit or miss). The grilled shrimp ("The Venus) sandwich is finger-licking good with huge grilled shrimp, avocado, jalapeno mayo, and sour dough wheat bread. Very good salads along with the steaks and seafood plates are good too. The place has a good vibe.

    The venue is small for large bands, but they usually have some good live music.

    Recently they added an outdoor stage and some seating, great move on the owners part.

    I recently downgraded to 4 stars....the staff seems to have their head up their a$$e$ sometimes and not very customer centric at times.
