Love this small town, friendly service, home-cooked food. The secret ranch recipe is one of the best. Also, the steaks cooked to medium rare top with onions bell peppers and mushrooms makes this hidden gem a place for people to drive to. Customer service is friendly and accommodating. Don't let the outside of the convenience store allow your mind to misjudge the great food. The portions are huge! read more

Longwood General Store - Monster Chicken Fried Steak with gravy. - Convenience Stores Near Me - Mooringsport, Louisiana

The end of an era. Used to on a Friday night you couldn't get in without a reservation. Tonight we were the only ones. Picking* up a chicken fried steak that once was excellent now is from frozen. The gravy was literally white water. The potatoes were a puddle. The only thing that was the same as years ago was the salad. Still a great dressing. So sad. I doubt we'll be back. read more

My wife and I SPLIT their breakfast plate and we still didn't finish it. It's off in the middle of nowhere at a gas station highway corner but is a good place to stop for very informal, yet perfectly good dining. read more

We ordered 4 hamburgers and 4 fries at 1:40 pm over the phone to be picked up. The lady that took the order said it would take 20 minutes. We got there at 2pm and was told it would still be a few minutes and to take a seat. We got our to go order at 2:40, an entire hour after ordering. And surprise, the order was wrong. read more

Ate here for the 1st time on April 13. Just a little convenience store with about 10 tables and a kitchen. Meant to get there earlier but didn't arrive til 8:30ish. Kinda glad it worked out that way because it was cleared out and me and the lovely I was fortunate to have accompanying me were the only ones eating. Due to that service was outstanding. They close the kitchen at 9 so we just squeaked in under the deadline and I'm glad we made it!!! The steak was HUGE and delicious!! I have known about this place for years but just never got up there til now. Sad I didn't make the effort sooner after this experience. One cool thing about eating there was when you ordered a beer the waitress just walked into the store and took one from the beer cooler. If you're in the Shreveport-Bossier area and looking for a good eat off the beaten path plug the address in the GPS and go a little country and put a little gravel in your travel. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. read more

Its a good place if certain cooks are there. I ordered a chicken fried steak on my way home. I pick it up and get to the house. Bloody in the center and was missing my mash potatoes. I called back they said they'd put my name up on the wall to get a meal compensated to me for the mess up. I called back 1 1/2 weeks later and they said no name is up there and that they wasn't taking care of it. Im good. I use to go there all the time. I dont know what is going on since Jerry dont own it. Its been going down hill since then. But they will never get 1 lick of business from me and my family. They wouldve fixed it right then but I had been driving all day and once I get home I wasn't leaving. So they said it wouldn't be a big deal and took my last name down. No honor in that store so they won't get my honest dollar. read more

This was amazing. A steakhouse in the middle of a general store. This was by far my favorite place to eat in the area. An amazing steak, potato, salad and bread. Started with a huge $2.99 shrimp cocktail that I couldn't finish. Additionally, there was a cheese and cracker plate that they bring to nosh on. read more

Would have given more stars but for a few reasons. This was an interesting experience. We walked in and stood there awhile but no one said anything to us. We sought out if we were to seat ourselves or be seated by someone. Granted, this is a very "country" and informal place but my husband and I had never been there. We went for Christmas lunch. We heard the food was good. We went with my husband's folks. Anyway... It took awhile to get our order taken due to there only being 1 server. Gotcha. They were busy at 11AM. We didn't get menus at first and the waitress asked us what we wanted. Hmmmmm... How was I supposed to know? LOL We got 2 menus even tho there were 4 of us. Fine. We can share, right? The turkey and ham and dressing, etc was not on the menu so we inquired about it. The waitress was hilarious as she awkwardly told us what else they had available for the Christmas meal. Her description of the green beans was the best. She said she THOUGHT they were green beans but wasn't sure. She referred to them as "some kind of crap," "square green things," and "fugly." Hmmmmm... Sounds like a winner! LOL Onto the food... The mashed potatoes and gravy was good, the sweet potatoes... good... The dressing... good (had meat in it)... My mother-in-law had to beg for cranberry sauce a few times as the person who made it earlier didn't make it correctly and it didn't set up well. She got some anyway, albeit runny. The rolls were good. My husband likes the fugly green beans and ham. The turkey was good but I... I got a HUGE slab of fatty, gross SKIN (hardly any meat... Which was a bummer)... No meat even attached to this slab. That was the most disappointing part of the whole experience. See picture of said fatty skin slab. It was huge! The waitress left the ticket with our plates that she had just dropped off, refilled our teas and drinks promptly. She was friendly... just very different than your average waitress. LOL Would I go back? No. I hear their steaks are good but I'd be worried it would be all fat. read more

Pretty good food. Love the steak night but have to get them to hold the pepper. The mushrooms are my fave! You have to try the cheese tray!

Normally Longwood has large portions of good food. Last night I got a philly cheese steak that had been microwaved. It was so hot I couldn't pick it up. Our table still had bits of food from who knows when. I learned awhile ago not to order tea because they allow their customers to scoop their own ice from an ice chest and not with a scoop. Lots of food at a great price, but at what other cost? read more

I have been a long time customer of this store. Dont eat here alot but get things to go from time to time. Well it seems one could order something they do infact have on the menu. But I had a request of ordering an order of oysters (fried) which I have ordered before. This is my husbands birthday and he always eats oysters ...sort of long tradition for many birthdays. Well I called in to order and they said I had to buy a 19.99 $ seafood platter . only way to get the oysters. Man was I disappointed. Well I went to a local seafood takeout place needless to say. I thought they were in biz to sell food! read more
