So, while working in Natchitoches -- a town apparently sponsored by fast food chains and…read morefranchises. I went on a quest for something a little more authentic. After dodging the usual burger‑and‑fries suspects, I stumbled across this spot and thought, Why not, let's roll the dice. I couldn't decide what to order, so an employee suggested the turkey plate. Cool. Sounds solid. Except where I'm from, a "plate" usually comes with maybe a vegetable or possibly a carb. Something that lets you know it's a plate. But nope. Not here. That's what I get for not asking (lol). What arrived was... a turkey wing. The wing and the drumette. Now don't get me wrong -- the wing was tasty. Crispy, seasoned, no complaints there. But calling it a "plate" felt a little ambitious. Good flavor, decent portion and a lesson learned: in Natchitoches, always ask what comes with the plate. ( Lol)

Not a lot of places will go out of their way to make you feel welcome or jump off prefix menu like a buffet, owner was on site, came over and checked on us!

The restrooms are dirty, kitchens looked it too in passing, and it seems like only 2-3 people are on staff at a time. We sat there for forty minutes and still nothing. They brought our drinks to us one at a time. Ended up walking out and paying for the drinks alone (water was a charge too), and the staff was very rude upon us deciding to leave and cancel.

Let me start out by saying the food is WORTH the wait. It is cooked from scratch so anyone that…read moreknows how to cook knows how special that is. I ordered the breakfast combo. Delicious! Came on Saturday during brunch time and it was slow. I think the restaurant is relatively new so they are still learning business world. Hostesses are very young but were pleasant.

This Fabulous Family Restaurant is located right on the border of Keithville and Stonewall, Louisiana. They offer a wide variety of mouthwatering dishes, daily specials, beverages and scrumptious desserts to satisfy every palate. Just check their menu for the hours and offerings. With a warm and inviting atmosphere, this cafe provides a welcoming space for locals and visitors alike. My husband and I learned about them on the Tasty Tuesday news article that was featured on KTBS. When we asked how they got started, the owners Tanesha and Wade Hall responded that they opened their restaurant, LeaIV's Cafe, at the beginning of the summer because they love to cook and realized, as Stonewall residents, that there are very few food options in town. We agreed, for as we told them, just in visiting Shreveport, we noticed limited quality options, other than our cooking the food ourselves. Tanesha also said that it all started at her business, Inner Quality Services, in Stonewall when she and Wade started selling plates out of the building. It became a big enough hit that they decided to move to this current site at 671 U.S. Hwy. 171 Suite M as soon as it became available. For us, Sunday dinner always means family and the sharing of love through a meal cooked straight from the heart. We happen to believe that every day should feel like Sunday, full of prayer, joy and love. So we are excited about this mutual belief that their family has also shared and enjoyed for many years. Everything we have tasted in our visits at LeaIV's has been "spot on" delicious. The perfect seasoning and jovial atmosphere is on point, so warm, inviting and flavorful with Friendliness, Love, Kindness and Soul. We keep coming back whenever we get the chance. Come on down and try LeaIV's Cafe. You will not be disappointed!

I'm visiting Family in stonewall and I'm from Virginia. At Home I can buy oxtails everyday and…read moreusually do. I went to two different places in Bossier, the first didn't have any and said they were too expensive. The place I visited only sold them on Thursday. Due to the distance I gave up the visiting Thursday so I Googled "Oxtails near me". Low and behold I discovered this fine Dining Establishment 1 1/2 miles away. So I called and asked if they had oxtails today and was told "Yes". Upon entering I felt right at home and saw many locals enjoying their meals. Everything looked appealing. I paid the same price here as I do in Virginia. The food was bulging yet truly stuffed to the point of overflowing...HUGE portions and it all tastes good. Large pieces of oxtails too. I was served enough food that will last at least 2-4 days. This is my go to place for all my meals while in Stonewall.

The first mistake, their hours online says they open at 8, after arriving after 8, no one was there. So I called the number and a nice woman told me they open at 9. So I waited to go back up there after 9. So when I went back up there after 9, I saw that they were open and people were in there working. I went to the drive through. Sat at the drive through literally 10 mins. Nobody acknowledged me, ever came to the drive through or nothing. I know that they saw the car as one of the workers kept coming back and forth to the front placing food in a tray. They saw the car through the window. It amazes me as this place had a huge grand opening sign and this is how they are doing business already. Incorrect starting times, lack luster professionalism. I didn't get to try the food as I was never acknowledged or serviced. This place is already starting on the wrong foot. They should really tighten up or they won't be here long.

They normally give a meat over rice and gravy with two sides along with hot water cornbread and cake! Today they had no cake and for the fried chicken I received two of the smallest wings after waiting 39 minutes for them to fry some! Then had the nerve to charge full price for a plate!! I was hungry so I paid, I called afterwards just to tell them the food was bland and the woman was not pleased with me! She informed me, "Well what do you want me to do about it, that's your prerogative." I then hung up and all I could do was laugh. I also will not be back there unless the usual cooks and staff are there! And I didn't even finish the food. It was that bad!
