    Po Boy #5. Oyster Po' Boy
    Vanessa L.

    It was okay in my opinion. The red velvet cake tasted burnt & the mac n cheese was watery & had no flavor. Same with the green beans. They were plain which is weird because I don't know any southern food that doesn't have seasoning in it so it threw me off. Uhm, but anyways my buffalo wings were decent! Not a huge disappointment & the fried shrimp was light on my tummy so I really liked that. The poboy was pretty good!! Definitely recommend that and the fries with the seasoning made it super yummy. They have different condiments too so I used tartar with my shrimp & ranch with the wings. I didn't bother finishing the mac n cheese or green beans cause I wasn't trying to waste my tummy space! My friends and I only took two bites from the red velvet cake and were very disappointed but maybe it was just a bad batch! We shall see next time.

The bread pudding was absolutely the highlight of the meal; it was hands down the best part and completely delicious. The food overall was pretty good, and everything was prepared well. Our waiter did a great job and provided friendly, attentive service throughout the meal. This is definitely a place I look forward to visiting whenever I'm nearby, and I'd happily recommend it to others.

    Recently was in the area and I went here back to back days…read more The first day was a Friday during Happy Hour. It wasn't busy, I sat at the bar in the bar area. The happy hour specials had to be asked about, however the bartender/server was very attentive and responsive. I ordered the Mango Cart beer along with the sampler of charbroiled oysters. The bartender also brought out some bread. I had high hopes for the oysters, and although you get a variety, they left me feeling somewhat disappointed. The Rockefeller had way too much spinach, the charbroiled was dry and had too much bread crumbs, the crab stuffed was okay and to my surprise the Diablo was my favorite. I also got some bread pudding which came out pipping hot. It tasted okay although it was too much for one person. Overall I gave the meal 4 stars The next day I came back with friends and we sat in the dining area. This was disastrous. The server let us know she was going to come back and help us after she got the LARGE group next to us taken care of but would put our order in first. Then she forgot about us. Actually told us she had already put their order in and proceeded to take our order. Then she had to come back and confirm (which was wrong) as she didn't write anything down. We started off with an order of crab stuffed mushrooms. Although the stuffing was tasty, as a whole it wasn't something I'd order again. I ordered the 1/2 & 1/2 - 1/2 poboy and gumbo. Food was just okay. The sandwich was dry, the gumbo was mostly rice. My friend, who we were celebrating, was disappointed with her food. When it came to the table she saw fries and asked was there an option and the server said yes, and she proceeded to ask her what she would have liked instead. However the fish was dry, the shrimp was overcooked and the veggies (that she replaced for the fries) was the highlight of her meal. Unfortunately we also both got sick which we assumed was from the mushrooms as it's the only thing we both had. So this visit gets 2 stars.

I attended with a local friend and he confirmed this is authentic. The experience: Friendly staff, a long restaurant with a bar section, followed by the condiments section, followed by a whole other bar somehow? I didn't poke my head back there but I found that intriguing. More on the condiments: They come with any sandwich. I probably took unfair advantage by taking enough lettuce, tomatoes, and onions to make an entire salad. I then asked for dressing, which they happily provided at no charge. And sandwiches? Do get. Delicious bread. The default bread appears to be the French - you could opt for their sourdough if you like - and it's not toasted. I love soft bread, and the po' boy was divine as a result. I loved the boudin. I loved that they have alligator sausage in multiple places on the menu. I loved everything about this place except the fact that summer means just about all of the beers were light, and I had to hunt and peck to find beers more my style. Which I did. And maybe those beers are lingering as I type this review. But BeauxJax gave me the warm, fuzzy, welcoming feeling I love in a restaurant. A great stop in Bossier. Worth a detour from Shreveport. Legitimate Cajun.

The process here (at least when we went) is order at the counter, get seated and then the food is delivered to you. So, service is kind of lacking due to no real waiter/waitress. I got the crawfish etouffee and the bread was really good. The etouffee itself might have been sitting there too long... a definitely some overcooked crawfish but it had a good flavor. Maybe earlier in the day would have been better? Overall, our entrees were fine but neither of us finished them and didn't like them enough to take the rest to go. This place fit the need for dinner but I'd actually recommend the burger place next door for better service and food.

The shrimp étouffée sauce is alright and the shrimp for it is bad. The hushpuppies are meh too. The fries are great. You can request additional sauce like honey mustard. It's kind of out of poorly placed. Like it's in a hotel so it's mainly for the hotel residents to eat at. But additionally, it isn't enclosed so you get the rest of the hotel sounds. They do keep the tables clean. Service was fine. They have a counter for you to order food and you just walk up and ask if you need anything. It just didn't feel like a restaurant of its price point for all the above points.

I had a barrel ages old fashioned. The bread was fresh and tasty. The menu has quite a variety...steak, chicken, seafood...something for everyone. We were going for steak. A filet was ordered and two of us ordered the 14 oz ribeye. From what I saw on other tables steak seems to be a favorite. The waitress came back and took salad orders, how we wanted the meat cooked plus another drink if needed. I ordered medium well. After a bit i order another old fashioned. The first one went smooth and good. Not too much ice, just the right amount of liquor. Chilled and good. The wedge salad comes out and it's covering the plate. Thousand island dressing plus real bacon bits. A nice touch. Just enough dressing. After a bit the ribeye arrives. It too covers a portion of then plate. it's a bit peppered but cooked right. The waitress asked us to cut into the meat to verify it was cooked right, they all were cooked as ordered. Truly a treat. The steak is gone, a little bread is left on the table, half the old fashioned is remaining. Definitely will return in the future if I'm in Shreveport. Between the service and quality of the food it's a must visit if you're in town.

This place is wonderful!!! Friendly attentive Staff, great Bar (where we like to eat), outstanding atmosphere, and the food is OUTSTANDING!!! Even the "bar wines by the glass" are good and the "pours" are generous. If you like red snapper, and who doesn't, their choices are all worth your time. The bread was warm and tasty. Bartenders Paige and Kelsey kept our wine glasses full and made our time there memorable. We split a strawberry cheesecake for desert - a huge piece, very good. Since we were there on a Saturday late afternoon, we listened to Randy entertain us at the piano - a very respectable performance! Thank you, all!!! We only review very good and very bad establishments; we allow mediocre to take care of itself

The house special mild is everything perfect heat perfect flavor all around delicious the manager. Lily was very helpful. I had a small snag on my first order and she made it right I would drive three hours out of my way to go get Seafood from this restaurant because it was that good. The prices were very decent.

It's on the backside of the strip mall where you can easily get in and out which makes for a great dinner. The only downside is they don't take call in phone orders nor can you pay over the phone which was a huge inconvenience, but it was OK. The quality and the flavor of the food made up for all of it.
