    The drinks and food here are really tasty, and the location above the red river is really spectacular! It feels like a Florida beach bar

    Parking is limited to the street and I had to park down and around the corner. Short walk from the…read morerestaurant. 11:36 party of 1. I chose to sit at the bar. But table seating was available. After taking a couple minutes to decide. I chose the shrimp poboy. It was delivered at 12:05, with the tails on. Before I could eat, I had to pull them off. It was fantastic. So I guess I'll be okay. By 12:20 I was cashing out lunch for one $20. They issued a 20% discount for my military id.

    When in Shreveport on a Monday, your dining options are...limited (unless you fancy a casino…read moredinner, which we did not). So, we ended up here--the only place open that wasn't serving up blackjack with a side of fries. First up: water. Now, if you've never had Louisiana tap water, let me tell you--it tastes like someone steeped a bag of potting soil in it for 12 hours. I was about to blame this restaurant until a little Google dive informed me that most of Louisiana water just tastes like this due to geosmin and MIB (algae bloom byproducts, apparently). Fun fact that nobody asked for, but here we are. Anyway, we pivoted HARD to cocktails. I ordered a Belvedere martini, which was well-made by Dustin but oddly expensive considering this wasn't exactly a swanky downtown hotspot. For dinner: Hubbs went for shrimp fettuccine, and while it was fine, it didn't exactly make us want to write home about it. I, on the other hand, ordered Natchitoches meat pies, thinking they'd be the real deal imported from the famous place there. Oh, how naive I was. Instead, they were sad little impostors, baked instead of fried, and just...meh. Final bill: almost $100 for four drinks and two average entrées. If we're dropping that kinda cash, I'd prefer a meal that didn't require an emergency cocktail switch just to recover from the water.

    This place is pretty good. Service is outstanding. The waitress came by and took our drink orders…read more Another waiter asked if we wanted some bread for the table. Yes and yes. 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.

    We loved this place. We are here for a month and locals recommended it. At first we wondered at…read morethe name "2 Johns": was it run by hookers ? - No, it was owned by two guys named "John", who didn't like the idea of John "squared". OK enough comedy. 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
