I often work in Shreveport and thought I knew all the restaurants. Came upon this little gem near the area where I was working and cannot say enough about it. First of all, food was amazing. I had the fried pork chops, rice and gravy and greens and oh my gosh. Second, don't let the size of this place prevent you from going, thinking it is just a small café. 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. read more

First meal we had in Shreveport, and it was delicious! It's been a while since our visit but I believe we met the owner and her son, both very welcoming and friendly to out-of-towners. Great find! read more

August 2022 Updated review 1) Service has improved leaps and bounds 2) The portions remain large 3) Interior updated. Brighter. Lively. Clean. 4) See the latest pictures. I didn't get menu pictures as I ordered ToGo. Take Away for the UK'ers. All cards accepted. Dining in involves dedicated service via wait staff and the owners. Good to see a local institution remain family owned and operated. read more

Was not happy with the food to say that it comes from a long line of family and friends that branches off to open their own business!! I got chicken w/fries, 1/2dozen of shrimps, 3 stuffed shrimps, and I asked for toast, they gave me toasted hamburger buns! read more

Eddie's Restaurant - Fried chicken and rice, 1/2 dozen shrimp w/fries, 3 stuffed shrimps with toasted hamburger bun - Soul Food Near Me - Shreveport, Louisiana

Food is decent, but it's hard for me to pay those prices and still wait an hour after pickup time. If you d got the time it's well worth it.

Great service!!! I was able to grab a half a dozen just before jumping on a plane back home!!!! Gotta love the flavor of the stuffed shrimp! Hopefully I can purchase these for a station at our wedding! Yuuuum read more

Doesn't look like a warm Family Restaurant when you drive up. But you walk in and it is like going to relatives for a great meal. Everyone there was awesome and made me and my Grand daughter, Emma, feel like family that they've nit seen in awhile. Emma got the stuffed shrimp and I got the fish and shrimp. The plates were so big neither of us could eat at all. It was so great we went back then next day. I'll go again when I got back to the area. read more

Sent Would really appreciate the status of my order Firstly, I atttempted to have it shipped to me. My parents reside in Bossier City Louisiana and are currently visiting. How cute would it be to have one of my mom's favorite things to enjoy right, WRONG!!!!!!!!! Unfortunately after several attempts to contact someone on the team that would Brittney (who according to her "She a owner", don't say that in broken English it makes you look bad and shows your lack of education. I had to continually call and chase Brittney down because " She a owner " failed to clear her voicemail. To be conservative It was at least a week of attempting to reach her. Don't know if you can call the dialogue we shared a conversation as "Da Owner" offered suggestions such as "why can't they come by here before they leave "and I found this one in particular a hoot "You can try and go to Brothers but, we own that one to". Eddies has not become the historic legend using that mindset as a business model. As a last resort, I placed an on line order on the 1st of June (Receipt # 4812-8412-2356-0365) still no stuffed shrimp. People like to view us as poor business people who lack the ability to follow thru. As a AA woman in business, I struggle to dispel that negative stigma and try to conduct business whenever possible within what I like to view, a way to small family who should support each other. I called Saturday and requested to speak to Ms. Thigpen and anxiously await her reply but more importantly where is my STUFFED SHRIMP. Don't make them right. read more

just passing through and stopped in to get a bite to eat. service was "excellent" food was "excellent. i will be coming back soon!

This place doesn't look like much from the outside, but being from out of town, my wife had done some research and couldn't wait to try the stuffed shrimp. The menu is small, and be sure to ask for a smaller portion of shrimp if you need to, because they are HUGE. You can order three instead of the six listed on the menu. Now I don't like shrimp, so I can't comment on how they tasted, but my wife thought they were great, and they certainly looked unique. I ordered the burger, and it was alright. Definitely a fun experience if you are in the area. Looks like you can call in ahead, as many people were showing up to get their food to go. read more

Garbage. Don't eat there. Stuffed shrimp I ordered were old and hard. Take your business elsewhere.

today is 07/15/2022, i went here for lunch. the service was lousey and the stuffed shirmp were worst than lousey. 45 minutes of my life i will never get back and 20$ flushed down the toilet. read more

If you leave hungry, it is your own fault. This is good, authentic soul food. I am not crazy about shrimp, but our table had to try the stuffed shrimp. I would buy them again in a heartbeat. They are monsters and so good. I got smothered pork chops and they did not disappoint. read more

Don't judge a book by its cover! This place may look a little sketchy but it's total deliciousness!!!! The menu is limited, but it's better to do a few things perfect, than to serve mediocrity! And this place serves fantastic, makes me remember my southern roots growing up ! Literally food for the soul! I had smothered pork chops that were as good as my moms! The greens and the cornbread, simply amazing!!!! Service was good, everyone was uber friendly!!! Will definitely be back!! read more

Gosh, I really hate to say that our visit to Eddie's was a huge disappointment. We were so looking forward to our lunch there after the Southern Living hype. Our first disappointment was finding on arrival that there were no lunch specials. But much much worse, there were absolutely no vegetables of any sort nor any cornbread. The smothered pork chops were good, but served only with rice and gravy and a piece of toast. As a life-long Southerner, I cannot imagine using the "soul food" description for a place with no veggies or cornbread. I will be finding my soul food elsewhere in the future. read more

Amazing....the stuffed shrimp, chicken wings and fried shrimp were delicious. We ate so much. My next step....getting those Stuffed Shrimp nearer to where I live. Just spoke to the Owners of Lillie's Restaurant on Hwy 80 in Clinton, they have agreed to try Eddies Stuffed Shrimp in their restaurant. On my way to Lillie's..... If you want the original...Eddies Stuff Shrimp....you won't be disappointed. read more

DO NOT let the exterior stop you from what will be one of the best meals in Shreveport, La.! Other reviews are spot on....stuffed shrimp is incredible! We didn't try the soul food that day, but judging from the number of people walking in and getting their order to go the soul food has to be amazing. We stopped for lunch and I have NEVER had an experience in a restaurant that made me feel immediately like family. The general manager greeted us and several family members that came out to introduce themselves and to be sure we were happy with our lunch. Food is delicious and portions are huge! Go hungry. Limited menu, but all is prepared when ordered...no heat lamps in this place. Do your taste buds a favor and go in there and get the best Shreveport has to offer. Don't expect linen tablecloths or napkins, just expect the best service and outstanding food from people that care what you think about it! read more
