The food was beyond amazing. My husband had the debris po'boy, and I had a half Cobb salad and a half debris po'boy. As someone from South Louisiana, I know good food, and the flavor of the roast beef was indescribable. I make a delicious roast beef myself, but it doesn't even compare! The Cobb salad was recommended by the staff, and they did not steer me wrong. The smoked turkey was incredibly flavorful and absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back!

The food -- we loved every single thing we tried. Boudin balls, greens, shrimp and grits, catfish campti. Come hungry!

So good I might be back tonight!

Orlandeaux's Café in Shreveport, Louisiana, is a true Louisiana treasure and a restaurant that…read moreevery food lover should experience at least once. As the oldest continuously operating Black owned restaurant in the United States, the café has been serving incredible Creole cuisine and preserving an important piece of American culinary history since 1921. The rich history alone is worth the visit, but the outstanding food will have you coming back again and again. The legendary stuffed shrimp absolutely lives up to its reputation. Each bite is packed with flavorful Creole stuffing, perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside, and incredibly satisfying. It's easy to understand why this dish has become one of Shreveport's signature foods. The red beans and rice with smoked sausage is another must-order, delivering rich, smoky flavors and comforting homemade goodness. Their gumbo is equally impressive--deep, hearty, and filled with authentic Louisiana flavor that tastes like it has been simmering for hours. And if you're craving a sandwich, the po'boy selections are loaded with delicious fillings and served on fresh bread that makes every bite memorable. The restaurant's location along Cross Lake creates a beautiful waterside atmosphere that makes the dining experience even more enjoyable. Whether you're stopping by for breakfast, lunch or dinner, the scenic views provide the perfect backdrop for a relaxing meal. The portions are generous, making the prices more than fair for the amount of food you receive. You definitely leave feeling like you got excellent value for your money. Even better, the staff is welcoming, attentive, and genuinely helpful, making guests feel right at home from the moment they walk through the door.

The decor inside is absolutely precious and the proprietor was equally precious. I will definitely be back and highly recommend Eddie's for great soul food.

The inside is a mix of old timey and funky with lots of creative murals painted on the walls. We quickly received our drinks and ordered. Our waitress was outstanding but I didn't get her name. Our food was soon there and we dug in. My chicken fried steak was good but the mashed potatoes and cornbread were the stars. I'm not a big fan of salad or green beans but they were pretty good for vegetation. My wife enjoyed her catfish basket. She prefers cornmeal on catfish over flour breading and was pleased with the crispy cornmeal and the generous portion. Now for the main event. Pie! Strawn's is known for their strawberry pie and for good reason. It was the best strawberry pie that I have ever eaten. The whipped cream topping was transcendent and paired perfectly with the strawberries. My photo does not do this pie justice. My wife went with coconut pie and while it was very good the strawberry was the winner. Looking forward to returning to Straw's Eat Shop in the future.
