We finally got our drinks about 12:35 and placed our appetizer order. Appetizers came out about 15 minutes later and both were delicious. The Nori mayo makes the corn ribs, definitely recommend ordering them. The spinach and artichoke dip was very good as well, a bit spicy for my kid, no big deal. Our party order: Fish & chips Grilled chicken with mashed potatoes and a side salad Cheese pizza The library burger The cheese pizza and burger were the only edible items. Don't order the chicken breast without getting it Cajun blackened, unless you want a dry non seasoned over cooked chicken breast! The fish were so full of grease they fell apart as soon as you picked them & were inedible. 0/10. After being here an hour, we were getting a bit antsy. Once we had hit an hour and 10 minutes it had gotten to be a bit too much. Our waiter came by and kindly let us a know a table of 12 people were waiting on their food and then ours would be out we weren't in a rush so I guess it didn't matter, but we were beginning to be uncomfortable! The atmosphere is also strange? There are grills outside the front door, flour and other items stacked high in the hallway, soap and toilet paper shoved on the floor under the sinks. It feels very chaotic and unorganized. We were given a discount and key lime pie & a cookie for our "troubles". Even with the discount we were still over $100 for a bad meal.

The bar tender knows how to make an Old Fashion Really good on highlight the flavor of the whisky. We may be losing a star if the service does not speed up a bit. The Old Fashioned with Maker's 101 was even better than the last They keep the star when the Manager came out to discuss the whisky/tequila selection and what/how they make their selections. He also was active talking with the customers and clearing tables. I am impressed Will make this another go to when the Fam Damily is trekking across Texas en route to Mississippi To finish the dinner why not go for a dessert! Cheesecake with caramel sauce and the kiddos get ice cream. Yep! Sold! Beware the automatic 15% tip added to the bill. Had this not been added as part of the total your server probably would have been better. Cest la Vie

First I'll say, the drinks tasted off and did not taste like the drink we ordered. Second, the queso itself was not bad but I've had much better for a third of the price. Now the chips was awful, had a stale taste and even some had stiffness. Not exactly a good look for a "highly prestige establishment." I had Caesar salad and it was also not the very best. One bite tasted like a "stink bug" was in my salad. It tasted exactly how it smells. Very gross! The main course was subpar at best my steaks were cooked exactly as I asked but not the best I've ever eaten. I think the best meal out of all was the lobster Mac and cheese that my daughter ate. Everything else wasn't all that great given the price I had to pay, which was $270. One and done for me and my family. Only reason for two stars instead of one was because of the waitress and the restaurant looked really nice, very well kept and clean.

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. We we're greeted & swerved right away. I had the chicken fried steak, eggs, & pancakes. Fried chicken steak was the perfect size, medium, way too big for breakfast. Eggs exactly as asked, fluffy fat fresh pancakes. Definitely worth stopping & eating!

This review spans 2 visits. I never got around to posting my review for the first visit (4/03/25)…read moreso I'm going to clump them together. (2/12/26) Both visits were pretty much identical. Both in the lounge. Both tucked away against a wall to accommodate the service dog with us. Both visits included the Good Times menu and four beers. So despite the time span- prices were still the same. $103 both times. Extremely affordable for what you get. Minor differences separate the two visits. Our first visit we both ordered the filet mignon. Incredibly tender and so delicious! On the second visit he ordered the filet again and complained that it was a little gristly. The desserts were larger on our first visit and only a bite or two on the second. We tried both the cheesecake and bread pudding the first time. The bread pudding was so much better. The second visit was also my birthday so there was additional dessert. Some kind of light fluffy angel food cake with strawberries. It was Devine! On the house because the staff absolutely rocks! The lighting in the bar area is very red and terrible for Yelp photos but we improvised and adapted.

It was 1530 (3:30 pm) by now. This was the 4th place the Google Map led us to after three failures. We were seated and served instantly by a young smiling hostess then a waitress. The waitress answered every question we had about the foods on the menu, including the portion sizes (generous). My wife chose the Jalapeño and Jack Cheese Links with baked beans and crispy fried okra. I picked the Sliced Brisket, cole slaw and crispy fried okra. Our appetizer was a fried string onions with a garlic flavored ranch dip. We are picky about our okra, we want it crispy, crunchy and served hot. This was perfect! The atmosphere was open, tables only, several tvs, on (sports), the staff were all inviting and friendly, the waitress was always asking if we needed anything everytime she went by. The restrooms were clean and the children's drawings in the hall cheered the place up. (I especially liked the green pig with the yellow head.) They gave us the military discount, probably offer first responders discount as well. We would highly recommend the Shreveport Bodacious BBQ on Line Ave and will go again!
