Great oyster poboy at a decent price. And the prep time is as short. The French fries were not as crisp as I like so next time I'll ask them for extra crispy. read more

We will start with the good. Service was good. Friendly and engaging. The inside is exactly what one might expect from a BBQ place. Long tables w paper towels for "napkins" Our food was good to terrible. The Seafood Gumbo had great flavor. Mine was Seafood Gumbo. Saw only tiny shrimps with Sausage. There was more rice underneath than any seafood. The brisket was a 0 star. They were old DRY pieces cut like fries - wth? See picture. Looked like old leftover steak that had been frozen the reheated. The Hotlink appeared to be not made on site. Nothing special. The Red Bean side was decent. I would not recommend Shanes to anyone!! read more

The crawfish were so bad we couldn't finish it, they had no flavor and the tails were rubbery. It really just tastes like crawfish water with the afterthought of Cajun seasoning at the last minute. Not to mention super super tiny. Expensive as well. Not worth it. read more

Ordered the Senior Catfish Platter. Cost, with a tip consumed my twenty dollar bill. Not bad. Food arrived and I drove two blocks to my home. Now for the critique. Portions ample.Sm taste of red bean soup.Delicious. Cole slaw- good. Hush puppies- average. French fries-floppy. You know what I mean. The fried catfish? Yes Floppy with a tad of seasoning. I guess other local restaurants have me spoiled with well seasoned fish cooked so the outside is crisp, french fries- too.It was a filling meal, if you ate some of the floppy fries. Not horrible, but better can be easily found. Crisp and seasonings were lacking. read more

The lettuce in my house salad was not fresh at all and contained a decent amount of brown pieces to make me stop eating it. The best thing about the 1/3 burger is the bun I promise. The burger patty reminds me of what I ate in school. I would've said the service was pretty good in the drive thru, but I asked for jalapeños on my salad in order to test the culinary boundaries of Shane's and my salad came with no jalapeños at all. I was pretty hungry so I still ate the little burger. read more

Shane's Seafood BBQ - $8.99 - Barbeque Near Me - Shreveport, Louisiana

First time to order their corn which was very good and had very good seasoning on it. 2 full cobblets. Great value for cost. The catfish strips were very well seasoned and had a great delicious flavor. Next time I might order mine cooked a tad more hard. The French fries were hot and delicious and seasoned well. This was a very delicious Sunday lunch. read more

I went there yesterday and got the half bbq chicken plate with fries and fried orka. When I started to eat the chicken I realized that it was undercooked. The breast was slightly pink and the thigh still had blood coming from it. I took tge food back to them and showed them the blood coming from the thigh. The older lady came to the windows and as I was explaining how undercooked the chicken was. She saw the blood and told me that that wasn't blood coming from that chicken. Because they uses a thermometer to test the temperature of their chicken. To tell if its fully cooked or not. So I told her that they couldn't have tested the temperature of that chicken because it would've showed that it was undercooked. And she asked me if I wanted some chicken or something else on their menu. And I said no I just want a refund back and she go so mad at me. And slammed the drive through window in my face as I was talking to her. So I started laughing and said don't get mad at me because youre serving people undercooked chicken. But ill never go back to Shanes ever again and if yall ever go there and get the bbq chicken plate. Please check yall food because im sure other people had experience the same thing. Im thinking about reporting them to Board of Health before they make someone sick. read more

They are good, but I have noticed that their prices have doubled. It looks like, where they are just at the limit before customers wd think or accept that the prive was too high. I drove up to the drive-through and looked at the prices and said "I don't think so, " and left. That's a shame because the food's kinda good. But I would go to another restaurant now. Too bad. That's just too much money. read more

Was out of town all day & when I FINALLY got home...I wanted GOOD bbq so I stopped by Shanes on Youree. I think they have the BEST ribs in town....the flavor is second to none. Sometimes bbq places will serve ribs that have been sitting too long that the actual flavor of "bone" gets in the Ribs and its nasty. Today was not my first time getting bbq from them and just like every time before...they hit the mark 100%. Thanks to Shanes on Youree for making sure the quality is consistent. Now I need a nap..... read more

$65 Lunch for two. I had three meat combo as did my wife. Total was brisket, sausage, pulled pork, ribs. Brisket was tough, flavorless and dry with not even a hint of smoke ring or smoke flavor. Basically it was dry roast beef. "Smoked" Sausage tasted like it was heated in the microwave. No smoke no color. Ribs would be good for a meatless Monday. What they call BBQ ribs are maybe 3 inches long, dry, flavorless, mostly bone with almost 0 flavor from invisible rub. Pulled pork was old, smokeless, and an unsuccesful attempt was made to moisten the meat by drenching it in sauce. Potato Salad, only the finest Foremost brand potato salad. This would only serve to be enjoyed in a 4th grade cafeteria with lunch ladies who hate their job. All in all, a waste of $65. read more

We're traveling through the Shreveport, LA area and thought we were going to get some good BBQ and frog legs. We stopped in at Shanes across from the North WalMart. The frog legs were good; just what husband was looking for. However.... I ordered the 3 meat plate. Tried to order 2 ribs and 1 sausage. I was told that they won't let me do that.....why not? So I settled on 1 ribs, 1 brisket, 1 sausage. The sausage was on the cool side of tepid, the ribs were so tough and dry I couldn't eat them and the brisket was just OK. Everything on the plate was dried out. The kernnels of the corn on the cob were all dented in indicating that they had been held hot in the kitchen too long so they weren't full and juicey. And what is going on with hush puppies??? We got 2 hush puppies that were about the size of a large marble, over cooked and DRY as dust. I don't thisk that's how they are supposed to be or foks here in the south don't know what a hush puppy is supposed to be. I have to say that the service was very good. The young wait staff were pleasent and attentive. Through the week we did get some good BBQ - At the Krewe Sobek parade we parked next to Smokin' A's BBQ trailer. It was AMAZING! read more

Picked up Shane's last night. My husbands cousin is from Shreveport and told me to check out Shane's for seafood and crawfish. I ended up grabbing shrimp through the drive thru so I'll have to come back and try the crawfish. It was good. The batter was light and the fries were seasoned well. I really enjoyed my dinner. Can't wait to try some of the other items on the menu. read more

Shane's Seafood BBQ - 1/2 pound shrimp plate is not what I imagined!!! Salty as hell!! - Barbeque Near Me - Shreveport, Louisiana

We visited this Shane's location today for the first time. The following are my thoughts: Service - quick and friendly Drive Thru - definitely a plus! BBQ chicken and sauce - excellent! Good portion; good price; nicely cooked and tender. Side green salad - the dressing was amazeballs! Corn on the cob - nasty. It seemed to have been sitting around for quite some time. The kernels were really dry and didn't even taste like corn. Texas toast - not a fan. Banana pudding - ahhhhhhhh! Huge portion and totally tasty; especially when I added some whipped cream at home. Can't wait to go back and try some other items from their massive menu. read more

Loooove crawfish, so we came to Shane's to get our fix. Prices were high, so we decided to get the 5 lb special to split between 2 of us. It came with your typical potatoes (4) and corn (2) for $40+. Service was poor. The girl behind the counter couldn't even fake a smile. Clearly did not want to be there. Nonetheless, we wanted crawfish and stayed. Our order came out, and we were disappointed by the size of the crawfish and the size of the order in general. The crawfish lacked flavor and even salt. They were definitely overcooked and too soft. This didn't stop us from eating every last one because 1) we paid for it 2) it's crawfish. A worker asked a couple next to us how they liked their crawfish. They commented on how soft it was, and the man offered to give them 2 extra pounds for free. Very kind gesture! But it was odd because we were sitting right next to this couple with the same overcooked batch, and we were never approached. Unsure why that couple received special treatment while we were overlooked. All in all, I'm glad I got my crawfish fix. But honestly, it was a waste of $40-$50 and a waste of a meal. Wish we would have gone elsewhere for crawfish. read more

Shane's Seafood BBQ - 5 pounds with potatoes and corn. - Barbeque Near Me - Shreveport, Louisiana

Got my 1st crawfish of the season today. They were served HOT and seasoned JUST RIGHT! Before I ordered I asked what size they were running and the lady said medium. I would say they ran small to medium, maybe 65% small and rest medium. Today I think they were $6.49lb with a 3lb minimum. I also got potatoes and butter sauce. I wanted corn also but she didn't hear me so I missed out on that. No problem. I thought they were very good. Unfortunately a couple behind us said theirs were like water logged, soggy. She was really upset over theirs and they didn't really eat any of theirs. They just left. We got their about 330pm so it wasn't very busy. There was one other guy there eating crawfish but I didn't ask how his were. My wife got a fish plate and all of hers was pretty good. Unfortunately, I haven't found a place close by that has really good catfish. These fillets were thin cut and to me just didn't have a "stand out" taste. Not that they were bad, just not great and I prefer thick cut fillets. I'll be back for more crawfish. I like the way they are seasoned at Shane's. Hopefully the next batches I get will be just as good as today's were!! read more

I'm a big fan of barbecue and seafood under one roof! Options make me happy. My husband just HAD to try the barbecue because we are from Texas and you know how that goes. He got a loaded spud and hush puppies as his side PLUS two whole slices of buttered Texas toast. I will say they ARE generous with the portions! They really loaded that potato too so if you don't like a ton of sour cream/cheese, you may want to request toppings on the side. I wasn't a fan of the ribs, though they were tender they lacked spice. The chicken was really tender in some spots and dry in others? Good flavor there but with the patchy dryness I suspect it may have been old. Someone should also change the frying oil more often because the hush puppies took on a dark color and burnt taste as a result of old oil. My fried oyster po' boy could've been better if the oysters hadn't been...well, I honestly feel like these could be a frozen, pre battered variety as they had a different look and texture than all the other fried oysters I've ever had and resembled a chicken nugget. They weren't BAD but they are definitely in my bottom three because they were fried in the same oil as the pups. I did appreciate that they put all the veggies on the side. The bread was perfect, soft but with a good little inner crust. The fries were cold and undercooked but I didn't have room for them anyway though I would request crispy if there were a next time. We are not from the area and didn't realize there were two Shane's. We drove to the first one but after reading reviews of the large portions and having an almost four hour drive ahead of us, we decided to hold off for a bit and explore the city. We were then closer to the second Shane's. Apparently the first is better? They have so many things right, they just need to work on the little details now. read more

Ordered the crawfish, fried shrimp, and steamed shrimp. The shrimp was very good. The crawfish was not up to my expectations. The flavor was a little bland. Would order the shrimp again, but wouldn't order the crawfish. All in all the meal was good. My group had a good dining experience. read more

They did not use a lot of sauce on the seafood kinda disappointed and wasn't spicy enough

My husband and I decided to try a new place to eat in this area and we were not disappointed! They definitely have something for everyone on the menu. I had their crawfish and a side of red beans and rice. Both were great! The red beans and rice are the best I have ever eaten. I had to get some to go!! We will definitely be back here and the staff was very nice. read more

We live right around the corner from Shanes and will never pick up or eat there again. We are done. Loaded potato had almost nothing on it, a little bitter, a teaspoonful of sour cream--I mean it was SAD! They no longer have the stuffed shrimp that I did like. Turns out they had a vendor that made them, Shanes just sold them. And the vendor quit selling them. French fries are NOT fresh cut. Hate frozen fries. Even if you order over the phone & then go over to pick up you will sit in line for 30 to 45 minutes. They charge extra for everything, like $2 to use charge card, $2 to add butter to 2 orders of new potatoes, $1 for seasoning for the new potatoes and on & on. This place is not worth the price or the trouble and the food is not that good. About the best thing they have are the boiled new potatoes. How sad is that? And I can do them so easily in my kitchen. And the pricing is crazy, and all adds up to unreal. Like they charged me several dollars more to get a pound of catfish. Menu outside said half pound and whole pound so I ordered a pound. They charged me for 2 half pounds which was way more. I said no the menu said I could get----and the person at window said well my boss said this is how we are to price it. I give up. Done with Shanes. And will tell you that 4 blocks up the street is Crawdaddys, which is really really good and priced way better. Try it, you will like it. read more

So this review is a few months in the making...I recently took a trip to Shreveport with a client to review a portfolio of properties that he was looking to possibly make an offer on. We arrived late in the day and the days were getting shorter, so we finished up in the dark. The local realtor suggested this place for dinner. I am not always a fan of the fried food places, but I figured we would give it a try...since it came recommended. I was pleasantly pleased to see upon entering the line was short, as we were a bit past regular dinner time hours and they offered a grilled Mahi plate and I got fried okra and fries. My client and other realtor got fried fish and shrimp items. My Mahi was very fresh and cooked perfectly. I liked the breaded seasoning on the okra and fries were nice and crispy. I would dine here again! read more

Food was overcooked and overpriced for the quality to be so poor. Extremely disappointed

Once we got home from picking up our online order we noticed the order of baked beans wasn't in the bag. after asking if everything was in the bags and being told yes ma'am in the drive Thru. Called and spoke to Abraham about not getting our baked beans on the evening of July 4 and he said to give him a couple days and he would refund us yet it's been over a week and there have been more calls made to the store since then. Told the manager wasn't there or not available nobody was there was authorized to do the refund. Mr. Keeter's debit card still hasn't seen the refund. .We will drive out of town to get food from another Shane's before EVER GOING BACK TO THE YOUREE LOCATION. Bad business and management does not warrant anyones time or money, no matter how good the food, if you don't get what you OVER PAY for in the first place. read more

I've visited this place twice. Great customer service. I do appreciate the drive thru especially when you don't want to get out of the car. I've had the fried shrimp basket so far and the portions are plentiful. Food is fresh. It's a great go-to spot for seafood. read more

I'm always really pleased with Shane's. My go to order is the 3 meat plate with the chicken, sausage, and brisket. Sometimes the meat is dry, but I don't mind that. I love their corn with a little Tony's seasoning added on top. The bread is always dry and the cornbread is hit or miss. I like Podnuhs bbq sauce better but overall it's a solid restaurant. read more

Gumbo is nothing but water and all rice. Extremely bland. Don't understand how someone can be from Louisiana and can't get this right.

Not great. Ordered a big meal for pick up. The workers looked high they left a whole rib and pecan pie from my order two of the meals had the sides all messed up. Food was ok read more

Never tried the ribs before tonite (they actually let you buy one single rib) which I added to my order. BEST BBQ RIB I have tasted. As a matter of fact I ordered the fried shrimp and there was so much meat on the rib bone it filled me up combined with the fried okra and slaw. Will be back to get more ribs! read more

The worst crawfish I have ever had. Someone does not understand how to season. Do not waste your time. Told by a friend to try it.

We ordered at the new location off Barksdale. We placed the order online and even left a $8.00 tip. Once we arrived home we realized that they didnt include any crackers for the two large seafood gumbos we ordered. That was very disappointing. I ordered the pulled pork plate and specified that i wanted the original BBQ sauce, only to find out that they left out the BBQ sauce all together. Thankful I have store bought BBQ sauce at the house, but its not the same. We wanted extra butter sauce for the blackened fish and 1lbs of boiled shrimp only to receive 2 sauces. Just overall not to happy with this visit. read more

Ugh. The last couple of times we've gotten take out here, we've been disappointed. Last night was no exception and will be the last. The French fries were cold and tasted raw. I'd asked for no sauces on the shrimp poboy, yet it came completely drowning in it. My daughter got ribs which were tough with little meat. Gumbo was cold. Maybe they've spread themselves too thin with a large menu, and should stick with a few items and do them well. read more

If you want a quick catfish dinner with most of the fixin's, then this is the place. They have several different options for your catfish cravings. You can choose from a 3 pc., 4 pc., 5 pc., 6 pc., or all you can eat. Each meal comes with coleslaw beans, tomato relish, cajun fries and hushpuppies. I ordered the 3 pc. The fillets weren't that big and the sides aren't that plentiful. So by the end of my meal I was actually still a bit hungry. It's a good thing my grandmother didn't want all of her food so I was able to steal some food from her plate. In fact, my uncle had ordered some Zwolle tamales. I had two of those too. The tamales were really good. A bit salty, but good flavor. I guess, if you want to feel full order at least a 4 pc. meal, if not more. All the food is lightly breaded so it's not too fried. The french fries have a slighly spicy seasoning on them that livens them up. Also, you only get one cup of tartar sauce that quickly runs out. I went up to the counter to ask for more. I thought I was going to have to pay for it because the menu said extra tartar sauce cost $.50. Well, the girl just gave it to me. She said not to worry about it. So that was cool. The place isn't fancy by any means. It's a very casual/laid back place. There were a few TVs airing the Monday Night Football game. It wasn't too crowded either. Shane's also has a drive-thru. The staff here is really quick to get your order out. So you don't have to wait long. Oh, and if you run out of soda or iced tea, there is a soda fountain near the ordering counter that you can refill your cups. The menu has a lot to choose from beyond catfish. You can also order shrimp, oysters, alligator, frog legs, po boys, stuffed crab, gumbo, tamales, crab legs, crab cakes, and desserts. When in season you can also order crawfish and crab live or boiled. In fact, they even offer up bbq. When we first arrived, I noticed one sign that told everyone that you could order cajun turkeys for Thanksgiving. Now, how's that for a livened/spiced up turkey for the holidays. read more

We went all the way to Arkansas for a few days and since we drove from Dallas I was hell bent on eating some crawfish in Louisiana...and, Yelp delivered. Crawfish I had. They don't serve any alcohol so it was fortunate that we stopped at the CVS pharmacy further up the road and bought some local brew which we proceeded to sneak in the back door (literally) and enjoy... It wasn't hard to hide, so I'd recommend doing that. Just make sure to bless your meal really loudly and you shouldn't have any problems with the locals. My boo says the bugs were a little smaller than they should be but perhaps it's just the beginning of the season? The giggles I got out of taunting crawfish holding them in front of my face by a single claw and saying "i'mma eat you!' and the quality of the photo we took outside the restaurant easily put this place at 4 stars as it was the highlight of several days of a trip in the south. read more
