En route to Florida from Texas and after several road delays found ourselves in Shreveport at…read morelunchtime. A quick look at Yelp showed Strawn's Eat Shop listed at number one in diners locally. 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.

Normally the service is fast and accurate. The eggs and meat were over cooked and the potatoes were well undercooked. Normally the meal is better. Couldn't send it back because the server never returned to the table. I won't return any time soon.

The waitress was friendly and patient with me when I needed more time and shows that wonderful southern hospitality. The space feels like a quick diner feel, nothing fancy or in your face. Just a place to sit and eat your home cooked meal. I got the build your own omelet with ham and cheese. I requested for the hash browns to be inside the omelet and top the meal with gravy. They said you got it and that is exactly what I got! I definitely recommend this place if you like simple meals.

Awesome food. Forgot to take pics of food, but had beef tips but with mashed potatoes.read more

Some places don't just feed you -- they stay with you…read more Today I walked into this little restaurant and instantly felt at ease, like it was already familiar somehow. The room was beautiful in a quiet, elegant way, thoughtfully put together, warm and welcoming. And the people... every single waitress greeted us with kindness, but Miss Tammy -- oh, she was something special. The kind of person who makes you feel like you've known her forever. So sweet, so genuine, the kind of service you don't forget. The food came out and from the very first bite, it was clear this was a place that cooks with love. The eggs, the omelet, the French toast -- everything tasted like comfort. And then there was the millionaire bacon -- perfectly caramelized with brown sugar and just a touch of chili flakes. Sweet, smoky, with a gentle heat that teased your taste buds like heaven. Absolutely unforgettable. The portions were generous in the best way, and the prices were more than fair, especially for a breakfast that leaves you full and happy. But listen... the coffee. That coffee wrapped around you like a warm blanket. And then came the meat pies -- crispy, flavorful, absolutely unforgettable. Paired with those potatoes -- golden and crisp on the outside, soft and tender on the inside -- perfectly made, just the way they should be. The owner was there today too, sitting with friends, laughing and enjoying himself, and somehow that made the place feel even more real -- like you were stepping into a slice of everyday life, not just a restaurant. If you're looking for a true southern breakfast, a place with heart, warmth, and soul -- this is it. This is where you go when you want to feel something, not just eat. We'll be back. Without a doubt. And Miss Tammy -- thank you. You made the day brighter than you know.

We got here around 10:30am on a Saturday. Took about 10 minutes for a waiter to be with us. Ordered…read morecoffee and water. Took another 10 minutes to get our drinks. Ordered our food at that time. We checked in at the 40 minute mark and come to find out that our food still wasn't ready. Apparently the waiter put the order in on the wrong name - so that had to be fixed. And then when it was fixed they had a large party in front of ours that needed to be prepared first before ours. Needless to say we have now been sitting in this restaurant for over an hour with a cup of coffee and no food. If you want a quick breakfast spot, this is not the place. I would not recommend coming here with children because I cannot imagine them waiting patiently for an hour for breakfast. I have yet to receive our food even after writing this long review. But any place where you have to wait this long to get some eggs and a pancake I cannot recommend.

Many of the classics stayed but there's also new stuff on the menu. We had an appetizer of little mushrooms that were crawfish seasoning boiled, battered and fried. Dayum they were yummy!!

It looks like it may have once been a garage, but it has been transformed into a warm, lively, and welcoming gathering space filled with great music, laughter, and Southern charm. There were friendly dogs relaxing outside, little kids dancing around, and a staff that made everyone feel welcome the moment they walked in. I was only in Shreveport for a short work trip, but the hospitality here really touched me. And the jambalaya? Absolutely delicious. Comfort food with soul. Shreveport has some hidden gems, and I think I found one at Marilynn's.

We had an awesome meal and Orlandeaux's!…read more The atmosphere -- casual but also such a lovely lot and view w the panoramic windows. Makes it feel a little fancy. The food -- we loved every single thing we tried. Boudin balls, greens, shrimp and grits, catfish campti. Come hungry! Portions are big and for a fair price We got lucky and didn't wait too long but I've heard there can easy be an hour wait. You can sit in the bar area or enjoy the water view. So good I might be back tonight!

A Shreveport staple!!…read more Herby-K's is a Shreveport staple, but I feel like it's beginning to slip from its former glory. The service is not great, the menu is getting tired, but the vibes are just as good. I'm giving this rating a 3 simply because the food timing and quality was not fantastic this go around. The Bloody Mary was underwhelming and I really wanted more out of that. I'll be back, but it won't be a priority.

We had the following: *Crawfish Appetizer: overcooked *Cheeseburgers: overcooked and room temperature when it got to the table. *Fries: very good *Seafood Platter: yikes...gumbo was mostly veggies and rice. Shrimp etouffee and jambalaya looked like and tasted like it came from a Zatarains box. Blackened fish wasn't good. Use to enjoy coming here, but quality of food was a massive step back from a couple years ago. And $88 for 3 people with no alcohol is wild for what they serve. Too many good Louisiana eateries to try this again.
