For a first time experience I can tell you I would probably never eat here again. I love the idea of this place but the prices are too pricey for what you are getting and the noise level is horrible. I don’t know how the staff handles it. It is definitely not a place I would recommend to someone who has noise sensory issues. The staff for the most part is friendly (some more so than others). And the food came out quickly. I personally do not like a place you order at in front of everyone before you sit down but I get the concept of it and it seems to be a popular thing in Shreveport. The gumbo had great flavoring but it was runnier than I expected. I dislike ruffles potato chips with a passion and would have preferred a pasta or a potato salad as an option. The sandwiches are an average sandwich expect the roast beef is sliced thicker than normal and the turkey was really salty. I will leave this place to the locals to frequent.

This is a nice homey place. The service and staff were great. The atmosphere is a lil noisy and can get crowded. I had the chicken salad sandwich and shrimp etouffee. The etouffee was delicious. Well seasoned with great flavor. The chicken salad, however, was not delicious. It didn't taste like it was seasoned with anything but salt. The flavor was definitely lacking. I also taste a friend's red beans. Same result as the chicken salad, no seasoning. I can't say I would go back but the etouffee was really good

One of the classic lunch spots in Shreveport to get Louisiana cuisine. Many local professionals frequent Jacquelyn’s; definitely a place to see and be seen for lunch. Pictured is the combo platter with jambalaya, red beans and rice, and shrimp étouffée, (served with warm buttered bread). Shrimp salad and chicken salad are simple but delicious and are also local favorites. (PS: Iced tea is the best in town!)

A touch of the old south. Quaint restaurant on the open for lunch that serves great Southern dishes.

My son found this on Google, he is an old soul and loves old diners. I had a pimento cheese sandwich that brought me back to my childhood. My mom would fix them on occasion and it was always a good memory of her.

I had the gumbo. And as a local and lifetime Louisiana native it was fabulous! It wasn't spicy, but it had great flavour and was dark the way my grandma always made it. We were well taken care of despite coming in an hour before close. They even accommodated hearing a bottle for my baby. Must definitely will be back whether I stay to eat or take to go!

I normally stop by for lunch at least once a week. It's amazingly consistent. I'd be hard-pressed to pick a favorite there, but the pimento cheese ( I'm a pimento cheese fanatic) is stellar! All of the soups are good, and the bread pudding( available the first week of the month only) is worth the calories and then some. The apple pie ( a la mode of course) is delectable, and, if you're lucky, you'll dine when they have coconut cream pie available. This place is a Shreveport treasure.
I don’t even know where to start. I got a chicken salad sandwich which was delicious and full of chicken salad. It was also on regular white bread which was amazing because I don’t think you can get that anywhere anymore. It’s always some hard artisan crap. I also got two soups. Both homemade, cream of broccoli and clam chowder. Both delicious can’t imagine how you would improve them. Finally, the surprising star of the show was the chef salad, which I added in house marinated onions to. to be honest when I first opened it, I seen all this deliciousness from the meats and cheese and tomatoes and the onions and then a very small little cup of dressing, but let me tell you what buddy; big things come in small packages. With the onions already marinated in their homemade vinaigrette that little cup was all I needed. one of the best salads I’ve ever had in my life no cap. I’ll give this place a 8.5 out of 10 just to leave room to get better if that’s even possible. I cannot stress this enough to restaurants. You cannot beat simplicity and consistency. Jacquelyn’s is another diamond in the Louisiana rough and is officially getting added on the list next to Ernest’s of places to visit every time I’m in Shreveport/Bossier.

I like this kind of simple no-nonsense place. Staff was friendly and tried to think along what I could order as a vegetarian. Just a salad it was. I got a large one. Somebody I was with got a small salad, but that was the same size as mine, but paid half for it. So I did feel a bit ripped off, especially as the sales was literally lettice and tomato's... Otherwise, well... the salad was fine, a bit over-dressed (to muched dressing).

I enjoy this place on occasion. It is home owned and the food is usually good. My only gripe is that the spagetti sauce tastes scorched. And sadly you have to order at a counter. I prefer table service. It is very popular and it is home owned and it always fills up early. Great lunch place. Decent parking. On a corner with a nice parking lot. It does close early though. And ohhh, get some of their pie. The best. Would love a slice right now. Mmmmmm!
