The food is excellent. I get to go food often . The best beef tips in town. The servers are very friendly.

Fish Friday was fried ok today but is only a 3.5/5 compared to their best work. Again my two containers of greens had not one drop of salt or seasoning. Literally Golden Corral seasoning level. But if these greens are selling then just ignore whatever the h*ll I'm saying. You see I bought em lol! Service and cornbread were good. read more

Biscuit was microwaved, dried and hard. Scrambled eggs were not thoroughly mixed and were half poached. Out of the 4 plates with toast, each had its own degree of toastiness and none were specified during ordering. Potatoes were amazing though! read more

Suoer cute! Clean historic feel. Love the historic pics of the area. Lexi took great care of us. Food is not fancy but it is super tasty and plentiful! I had the Cali omelet. Huge! Very shareable! I think there was a full chicken breast and entire avocado in it! Hubs had the breakfast burger. It look amazing and he said it was! Looked like a huge handmade patty. Their potatoes are awesome! Great seasoning and so crunchy. We can't wait to visit again. read more

Paper menus are unsanitary. Unorganized with tables. Kept bringing other people food to our table. Watch one waitress clean up a large spill with broom instead of mop. Didn't clean area properly in between settings. read more

Love supporting downtown. Wait staff is friendly. Food is good. Love the restored and repurposed historical building.

Some places don't just feed you -- they stay with you. Today I walked into this little restaurant and instantly felt at ease, like it was already familiar somehow. The room was beautiful in a quiet, elegant way, thoughtfully put together, warm and welcoming. And the people... every single waitress greeted us with kindness, but Miss Tammy -- oh, she was something special. The kind of person who makes you feel like you've known her forever. So sweet, so genuine, the kind of service you don't forget. The food came out and from the very first bite, it was clear this was a place that cooks with love. The eggs, the omelet, the French toast -- everything tasted like comfort. And then there was the millionaire bacon -- perfectly caramelized with brown sugar and just a touch of chili flakes. Sweet, smoky, with a gentle heat that teased your taste buds like heaven. Absolutely unforgettable. The portions were generous in the best way, and the prices were more than fair, especially for a breakfast that leaves you full and happy. But listen... the coffee. That coffee wrapped around you like a warm blanket. And then came the meat pies -- crispy, flavorful, absolutely unforgettable. Paired with those potatoes -- golden and crisp on the outside, soft and tender on the inside -- perfectly made, just the way they should be. The owner was there today too, sitting with friends, laughing and enjoying himself, and somehow that made the place feel even more real -- like you were stepping into a slice of everyday life, not just a restaurant. If you're looking for a true southern breakfast, a place with heart, warmth, and soul -- this is it. This is where you go when you want to feel something, not just eat. We'll be back. Without a doubt. And Miss Tammy -- thank you. You made the day brighter than you know. read more

It was walking distance from the hotel I stayed at. Food was very mid. Grits- I am not sure how they're supposed to taste like, but it had no taste. I tried putting grape jelly in it, it was just bland. And the egg & sausage- it was just one egg & sausage lol. Service was good, the girls were very nice & attentive. The vibe was giving modern cafe in a sleepy town. read more

We came in for a last adventure before heading back out of town, and we can't wait to come back again. The avocado toast was eye rolling good. And the French toast? Like BREAD PUDDING!!! The place was quiet and clean, but also just aesthetically pleasing! read more

Great little find in the heart of downtown Shreveport on a rainy Sunday morning. The place was packed - even with the rain. Everything we ordered (see pictures) was excellent. Gouda Shrimp and Grits were phenomenal. Only reason I don't give a 5 is because it took a considerable amount of time for our order to arrive and our appetizer (egg rolls) were delivered after our entrees. Server was excellent - very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. We will be back and we will tell everyone about the cafe. read more

We got here around 10:30am on a Saturday. Took about 10 minutes for a waiter to be with us. Ordered coffee and water. Took another 10 minutes to get our drinks. Ordered our food at that time. We checked in at the 40 minute mark and come to find out that our food still wasn't ready. Apparently the waiter put the order in on the wrong name - so that had to be fixed. And then when it was fixed they had a large party in front of ours that needed to be prepared first before ours. Needless to say we have now been sitting in this restaurant for over an hour with a cup of coffee and no food. If you want a quick breakfast spot, this is not the place. I would not recommend coming here with children because I cannot imagine them waiting patiently for an hour for breakfast. I have yet to receive our food even after writing this long review. But any place where you have to wait this long to get some eggs and a pancake I cannot recommend. read more

I normally never leave negative reviews, but this was the worst service I've had in a very long time. We called to make reservations, and they told us that it wouldn't be necessary since they had lots of tables available. When we arrived, all the tables were filled, and they told us it would be a 20-minute wait. That 20 minutes turned into almost an hour of waiting. We finally got seated, only to wait an additional 35 minutes just to get our drinks. We put in our food order shortly after ordering our drinks, and we waited almost an hour and a half to receive it, only to have multiple incorrect items, as well as missing items. Tables around us that had been seated after us had already received their food and were checking out by this point. Very disappointed, we will not be coming back. read more

Food- Meh! Plates too small and overfilled to the point you couldn't eat easily- If you're going to cook breakfast you better make great eggs... these were so overcooked. Ordered over medium- came out dry and almost scrambled. Gravy - bad. Waffles- weird and dry Coffee- meh. Ambiance- could be awesome... when a restaurant bills itself as breakfast/brunch there should be certain things in the expectations such as: mimosas, bloody Mary's, high-quality breakfast goods that you can't get at just a regular diner. The building is wonderful, decor good. Service- Slower than slow kitchen... need a manger to help with greetings, seatings, coffee refills... our waitress was Phoebe- she was too busy and not keeping up, a scattered .. Amanda came by to help us several times . Phoebe was very rude to her fellow waitress across the dining room.. Overall this place has the potential to be great... for now it is amateurish. Low quality. And needing help. read more

Service was the worst I've ever had. We got there at 10:00 got seated and no waitress came and took our drink order the lady in the front took our order. Then we waited about 30 mins just for a waitress to take order only cause I stopped another waitress who's our waitress. Took another 40 mins to get our food after everyone else behind us got our food. Noone checked on us not even the manager discounted our food or nothing. Blamed it on the cooks which I thought was wrong, its the waitress responsiblity to check on our food. Finally left at 12pm read more

It is a cute little place, with exposed brick walls and the pressed tin panel ceiling, giving it an antique look inside. Along with that look comes bad acoustics, so it is very loud inside. This is something that can easily be overlooked. The downfall of this place is the speed of service. Two of us arrived shortly after 11 on a Saturday morning and the place was full. We were seated after a few minutes and were given our drinks. Then we sat there for 20+ minutes waiting for our order to be taken. Again, this could be somewhat overlooked because they were busy, but tables were starting to clear and becoming empty. Once our orders were taken, we had to wait 40+ minutes for our meals. By this time, over 1/2 the tables were empty, so they weren't that busy. When we did receive our orders, our meals were semi warm- not like they just came off the grill, making the food not that great, especially after having waited so long for it. Overall, the staff was nice but the service was very underwhelming. read more

Went in Sunday and they had a difficult day! In spite of difficulty they did a good job! Our waitress was scattered but really cared! Sometimes we need to give grace! This place is always amazing!

Cute little spot but food and service were just ok, if not mediocre. At least the prices were pretty fair. Can only attest to breakfast items - biscuits & gravy, kids pancake meal, and bananas foster "French toast" (which was more like cinnamon toast with a few saucy bananas on top). Last sip of coffee was coffee grinds and the grind residue was all over the inside of the cup. A busy Saturday morning made for a slow and frazzled staff with basic service. Wouldn't hurt my feelings if I never went back but wouldn't be opposed to giving it another try either. read more

Great location, beautiful interior, friendly staff, and the food was AMAZING! Definitely recommend.

Glass Hat Café is flat-out pathetic. We had a group of five and the hostess told us "We have a 4 top... if you want it" like that was acceptable. Meanwhile there were easily five open tables around us. Two firemen were sitting at a large table and when they left, the staff just let it sit there dirty like they had all the time in the world. We waited over ten minutes. No one cleaned a table. No one offered help. Just excuse after excuse. This was not a busy restaurant. This was a lazy, clueless staff that didn't care enough to do the bare minimum. Then as we finally gave up and walked out, the hostess shouted "Sorry" across the restaurant. She is lucky I didn't yell F*** OFF back. That's how frustrating and ridiculous it was. If you're in Shreveport, avoid this place at all costs. Glass Hat Café is a complete waste of time and should not be in business. read more
