There's rarely an empty table for any length of time which shows they're clearly doing something right. I've enjoyed all the dishes I've tried. The day we went there was a DJ which added to the fun. Overall I really love this restaurant and hope they stick around for years to come.

Skeptical! Wow! Best hospitality service in awhile!…read more Waitress, Sha was very friendly, accommodating & asked our egg preference, bread & sides. Sha did not disappoint. Casual diner, next or in a like convenience store. Nothing fancy, however we did take notice once we stepped on at how fresh & clean, restaurant smelled & looked.

Eggs exactly as asked, fluffy fat fresh pancakes. Definitely worth stopping & eating!

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.

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.

I am an over-the-road trucker and struggle to find parking if it's after 7:00 PM. I found this using one of my trucking apps as a potential parking location that accepts overnight parking. I got here and found a large parking area, easy to pull into, and not another semi in sight. I woke up to an open restaurant with a few customers inside. Upon entering, a friendly woman welcomed me into a meticulously clean diner. Pictured is a loaded omelet with ham, Hashbrowns, and coffee. Stop here if you are passing through. You won't be disappointed in the food, and their pleasant nature will get your day going in the right direction.
