Restaurants cuisine régionale Shreveport - Bossier City

Crayfish is once again in the spotlight here, in pie, gumbo, etouffee, boiled, fried, with French fries or corn. But there are other options as well, such as chicken and andouille gumbo, fried alligator, stuffed shrimp, half dozen fried oysters, po-boys, jambalaya, seafood tacos, red bean and rice plate, fried chicken and waffle combo and tutti quanti. Among the desserts, we recommend the New Orleans bread pudding or the famous fried beignets.

Opened in the 1930s, Herby K's was then called Flying Crow and fed the hundreds of workers who worked on the nearby railroads. Today, the place remains popular and family-friendly, and is on the itinerary of many visitors. You can eat hearty po-boys, great burgers and all sorts of seafood dishes including fried oysters and frog legs. Of course, don't miss the gumbo, accompanied by some onion rings !

A rather nice restaurant-bar, located in downtown Shreveport at the entrance of the Red River district. We go there mainly for two reasons: the well-served Cajun specialties - which remind us that Shreveport oscillates between Cajun country and the Texas border - and for the tasty appetizers that we nibble while soaking up the pub and popular atmosphere of the Blind Tiger. Mention should also be made of the fried seafood dishes and the selection of Louisiana spirits. In short, generous portions and good value for money!

If during the week we go there mostly for the po-boys, which are delicious and famous, it is for the Sunday morning brunch that you will appreciate the atmosphere of this unique place. Bozz, the boss with the look of a tidy godfather, proposes a typical menu of Louisiana cuisine, which is absolutely crowned with a trio of homemade beignets. All this with the option of cocktails at will and you will be able to melt in the mass (the crowd, sometimes...) of this former gas station reconverted which attracts the whole of Shreveport, well-to-do as well as broke. A must!

Located a stone's throw from everything in the Eastbank Market area of Bossier City, this gourmet address is well known to locals and visitors alike. It serves unpretentious food with a Cajun flair, such as the boudin and cracker appetizer, po-boy sandwiches (about ten different options), gumbo, jambalaya, red bean platter and crawfish platter. In addition, there is a nice selection of craft beers and house cocktails as well as acoustic shows every Friday night from 8 to 10 pm.
