    Chilies Barbacoa Chilaquiles Breakfast Bowl
    Cassaundra W.

    This breakfast DISH was Perfection!! Female server was friendly and on Point!!! The Place was poppin on Saturday yet Service did not Lack. Indoor or outdoor Seating Available. Comfortable and spacious. This local is one of my Fav. Be back soon!!!

    Carne Asada Tacos

    We had a wonderful brunch at First Watch while spending time with family from out of town. The food was excellent across the board--fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Everything we ordered tasted great and definitely lived up to the hype. While the service was a bit slow at times, our server was very attentive, friendly, and made sure we were well taken care of, which really helped balance things out. Overall, it was an enjoyable, relaxed brunch experience with good food and good company. We'd happily return and recommend it, especially for a casual family gathering.

    Yogurt bowl
    Thomas J. S.

    It's a healthier breakfast with reasonable prices. The place is usually crowded. The yogurt fruit bowl and oatmeal that I ate on 2 separate occasions were fresh and filling. They also both came with a muffin. Coffee and water were both really good. Service is cool but they seem to get a little tense about servicing single diners and have a tendency to rush people out that come in by themselves. On what would have been my third time visiting, I walked in by myself and the hostess was telling everybody else that it would be a thirty minute wait. Instead of telling me individually that it would be a thirty minute wait or even greeting me with a "hello how many?" She just kinda weirdly looked through and around me until I walked up to her, locked her gaze and asked "so it'll be a thirty minute wait huh?" She said yes and then I left.

    Lemon Ricotta Pancakes

    Brunch here was great! We went on a Friday around noon, wasn't too busy and was seated immediately! Our service was excellent, waiter really attentive. We had a booth by the window with a really nice view of outdoors. I had the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes! These things were massive and probably could have had one! They had a really savory taste! I also ordered soft scrambled eggs and they were cooked perfectly. Orange juice was very tasty! My husband had the turkey burger. He had already started eating before I could get a pic. Hence he loved it lol! I would recommend this spot for breakfast, brunch or lunch!

    seasonal french toast and pineapple juice drink were GREAT! not sure if the eggs benedict here is supposed to be cooked firm like this or if this is abnormal at this location, but i wasn't a fan. potatoes tasted kinda weird too. service was good. i still ate mostly everything else around the eggs and said i didn't need the whole plate removed from my bill, but it got taken care of anyway. i'll be back for that juice !

    AM superfood bowl

    This widespread brunch chain graces the hipster part of Shreveport (it's across from Whole Foods) with a slightly healthier menu than what you'd find elsewhere. I put myself on the online wait list, and while this was unneeded, if we'd gotten there a little later it might have been worthwhile as the place did fill. I was a bit disappointed that the menu made it hard to get a salad without meat in it or an avocado toast without eggs, but I found something I wanted; a chia pudding with a side of almond butter toast. Both items delivered on flavor, with a sweet chia pudding having plenty of fruit and the toast adding a contrary flavor note. My tea made for a good start to the day. Realistically, I'd probably give it a star less if it were in an area with more competition, but I was glad to have found something worth eating in Shreveport.

    AM Superfoods Bowl

    Food was amazing , also our server Kendal was great we had the side of million dollar potatoes and I highly recommend them,it was filling, had variety, and was delicious

    Kale tonic
    Betty P.

    I walked into this spot on a whim looking for a brunch place at 1230 that wasn't closed to closing. We were greeted immediately and told there was a 30min wait which was fine for us. Once we sat down after already scrolling the menu I went for the breakfast tacos and seasoned potatoes. I took a chance on the Kale tonic since I'm not really into green drinks and was pleasantly surprised. It was delicious and refreshing. My sister had the purple haze which tasted like it smelled, lavender. Not something I would try again. We ordered a side of monster bacon but there seemed to be an issue with it and it never came out. My daughter ended up getting her hot cocoa free for the inconvenience. Overall the food was great, service was ok. It honestly seemed like all the servers had attitude but it was the end of the day for the restaurant so we just chalked it up to a long day for them.

    Us waiting on breakfast before a funeral. Very nice location. And we loved the outside seating.

To be fair when we walked in there were multiple big tables just sat in front of us. Took my Midwest husband here while we were in town for fights. And he got to eat REAL grits for the first time. He ordered Chicken and Waffles, and I just ordered side of grits with Cajun gravy and soft scrambled eggs. Eggs were not soft scrambled, but somehow that is always a big ask. That did not even matter though!!! Jazz was our server and she was amazing, the food was so damn good!!! The best chicken and waffles my husband has ever had, and grits that would put my Granny's to shame. Wish I would have taken pics first... But we devoured the plates! I normally eat like three bites from each thing we order, I was fighting my husband for the food until there was nothing left on any plate. If you are in Bossier/Shreveport area come here!!!!!!

We were able to check in and sit in our car but It was about an hour wait for a party of two we ended up getting a sampler of breakfast options, which turned out to be really good.

It just came across really dry, not really loaded with flavor and the worst thing about the entire experience for me was plastic cutlery. The food is too rich or dense for Thin cheap cutlery either

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.

    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.

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.
