    Herby K's - (famous for their Shrimp Buster sandwich, great gumbo, oysters, etc.)
    Superior - (the original, so way better than the one here, for mexican)
    The Cub - (Steaks, hole in the wall atmosphere)
    Superior Steakhouse - ok food, but good bar to get drinks after a meal
    Counter Culture - for the best yogurt and light lunch fare
    Strawn's - for burgers, pie, breakfast , plate lunches, etc..- it's a diner on Kings Highway

        They are known for their marinated crab claws which are delish - however the place is like walking thru a time warp. - it looks similar to a 70's country club on the inside - service same.

          One more question:

          How about a place in Shreveport for just all around good Louisiana Cajun/Creole food & good BBQ?

          thanx

            Not sure about BBQ - maybe Podnuh's if they are still around. For Cajun/Creole I would do Herby-K's.

              Bodacious BBQ in Bossier is very good. its owned by a Good Ole New Orleans Holy Cross alum. Its a "joint". Everything a good BBQ place should be.
              Herby K's has very good gumbo, but the famed Shrimp buster is a joke.
              Ernests is exactly as said--a time warp. But they have recently started using frozen fish so I quit going.
