A Downtown Stockton Icon
If you’ve spent any time in Downtown Stockton, chances are you’ve heard of Louie’s Market—or maybe even stood in line during a busy lunch hour to grab one of their legendary sandwiches. For around 80 years, this local favorite has been cherished by generations of Stockton residents for its comforting flavors and welcoming vibe.

A Fresh New Chapter
Recently, Louie’s Market entered an exciting new chapter under new ownership! After a thoughtful remodel, the space now feels brighter and more inviting while still preserving the old-school charm that longtime customers know and love. Along with the new look, they’ve also extended their hours until 6:00 PM, making it easier to come by for a late lunch or an early dinner.
Signature Sandwich Experience
No trip to Louie’s would be complete without trying their signature Ribeye Steak Sandwich—and yes, it features a real ribeye steak. Juicy and perfectly grilled, the steak is layered with fresh vegetables and vibrant toppings inside soft, fresh bread, coming together for a satisfying bite that lives up to the hype. I visited right around lunchtime and, true to its reputation, the place was bustling. The efficient service and steady flow of customers kept things moving smoothly and made the wait more than worth it.
A Place to Feel at Home
Whether you’re a longtime Stocktonian or just visiting downtown, Louie’s Market is the kind of spot that makes you feel at home. Come for the food, stay for the warm atmosphere!
