22 Best Southern Restaurants in Shreveport

“One of the best soul food meals I’ve had in a long time. The staff are incredibly kind and welcoming. As soon as I walked in, the aroma reminded me of my mom’s cooking, which made the experience even more special. I’m on a diet, so I can’t come as often as I’d like, but I’ll definitely visit whenever I can. They’ve gained a loyal customer in me. If you haven’t tried this place yet, it’s absolutely worth a visit.“

“Service is always warm and inviting, good ole down home place, it is small so do not plan on dining in. I come for the smoked meats, that chicken and brisket has never let me down. The desserts have always been quite tasty. I usually try different sides on each visit not a bad experience to date.“

“Enjoyed it immensely!! Our server Clay was exactly as a server should be! Attentive without making us feel rushed! Predicting our needs before we even knew! Exceptionally friendly, knowledgeable and honest! Definitely coming back when time allows!!“

“The food was awesome especially the fried green tomatoes. The Shrimp was gigantic. Our server SARA was beyond fabulous“

“Wanting to try something new we drove from Benton to finally try this restaurant. I'll start by saying overall very impressed. The portions are much larger than expected and the prices are very reasonable. We dined in on a Saturday afternoon not realizing there was a limited weekend menu, although we were able to find many items to choose from and they didn't limit it to just brunch like other restaurants I was disappointed to not have the full menu. Don't let that stop you from dining because this is a great place and the food was wonderful! Our table had fried pickles, firecracker shrimp and the Cobb salad. Only mistake we made was ordering too much! Service was great and we got seated immediately.“

“Absolutely love this restaurant. One of the best brunch places in town with Bloody Mary bar and mimosa bar. Highly recommend it :)“

“Love all the southern comfort food, but grilled pork chops and grits are my favorite!“

“Our church had Bistro to Go cater an event with 1400+ box lunches. 3 different options were chosen and they were delicious, fresh, had a beautiful presentation, and were delivered on time with perfect organization. I honestly don’t know how they did it, but they did! They were so good, that a lot of us that stayed late at the event ate one again at dinner. The wraps were delicious, the salad was incredible, it was just perfect. I cannot recommend them enough for catering!“

“Great food and service. Stella was super nice. Portions were large enough to share! Recommend both the food and service. We will be back.“

“In town for a wedding and was craving some good Cajun food. I found Sugar Lou's via google. It was a little difficult to find as it was inside an office building but the effort to find it was so worth it. I love asking restaurants their recommendations and seeing what comes out and Sugar Lou's did not disappoint at all. The catfish Po boy with fries was some of the best catfish I have ever had. The greens also are something I'd make another trip to Shreveport for. The young man (Caleb, I hope I spelled his name right) behind the counter was extremely nice, friendly and extremely proud of his work (as he should be). I really have to say this place is a gem and well worth the trip. Keep up the great work Caleb, just slow down and enjoy it when you can. I promise I will be back.“

“First time eating here and omg it is GREAT the food and customer service 🥰 I most definitely will be back 🙏🏽 if you haven’t tried them I suggest you do that ASAP 🙌🏼“

“We are repeat customers for a few years. THIS YEAR is our 1st to ORDER TURKEYS. We ordered 1 smoked & 1 roasted. Both were moist, delicious & well worth the price & worth our drive (40 min 1 way). Also this is supporting local 100%. Ms. Karen, Eric & Mrs Kay are the best cooking crew ever!“

“The food is good but they always mess up the extra stuff you request and the add-on stuff you ask for and pay for and you get nothing. It’s ridiculous. Can you read a ticket? The people on the phone are unfamiliar with the menu. Ordered tonight. Dissatisfied. Lost money because I didn’t get what I ordered.“

“Bodacious in bossier is awesome! We ordered the sassafras and beef tips and everything was DELISH! Also- Marcus is awesome!!!“
