The Wakehouse is a laid-back waterfront restaurant and bar on the Tchefuncte River in Madisonville, Louisiana. Whether you arrive by boat, meet friends for lunch, or stop in for live music and sunset drinks, you’ll find good food, friendly service and an atmosphere that feels unmistakably Louisiana.

Our menu brings together Gulf seafood, po’boys, burgers and Cajun-inspired favorites. From fried shrimp and catfish to hand-smashed burgers, loaded nachos and our signature Wakehouse Reds, there’s something for the whole crew.

Pair your meal with a handcrafted cocktail, frozen daiquiri or ice-cold beer, then settle in and enjoy the view. We offer a casual setting for family meals, date nights, celebrations and relaxing afternoons on the water.

Live music is a big part of the Wakehouse experience. Our outdoor stage welcomes local bands and musicians playing everything from country and classic rock to blues and Southern soul.

Visit our Upcoming Events page to see who’s playing, and follow us on Facebook or Instagram for weekly specials, event announcements and schedule updates.

Located at Marina Del Ray, The Wakehouse offers dockside access from the Tchefuncte River. Boaters can tie up and walk right over for food, drinks and music.

No boat? No problem. We’re easy to reach by car and welcome locals and visitors from across Madisonville, St. Tammany Parish and the Northshore.

Life is better by the water. Join us at The Wakehouse for Louisiana flavors, cold drinks, live music and beautiful riverfront views.
