Posado's: Great Tex-Mex away from Tex and Mex
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Restaurant Name: Posado's

    This place is great... where else can two people eat for $5.00 and be full? I challenge anyone to beat this price!

    How is it done? Well, of course you get chips and salsa for free when you get to the restaurant, and everyone knows that you get water for free.... then order the chimichanga ala carte... for $2.50 each. Finish that off with free ice cream and sopapillas!

    McAlister's Deli: Get a Great Sandwich!

  • Shreveport - McAlister's Famous Sweet Tea
  • McAlister's Famous Sweet Tea

  • Restaurant Name: McAlister's Deli

    McAlister's is famous around the country for having some of the best sweet tea. Although I prefer my tea without sugar added, I will admit, that the unsweetened tea is just as good.

    I also have enjoyed every single one of the sandwiches I have been served there!

    Copeland's of New Orleans: Get a little Cajun in Shreveport!

  • Shreveport - oourtesy of copelands.net

  • Restaurant Name: Copeland's of New Orleans

    Although most people in Northern Louisiana do not fit the typical mold of Zydeco playing Ragin' Cajuns... Copelands of New Orleans has moved up the charts as a great place to grab a little Cajun soul in the heart of Northern Louisiana.

    My fiance and my parents all enjoyed our dinner out at Copelands, however I really can only comment on my meal. I had the warm spinach salad and the gumbo. Both were excellent and are highly recommended! Also try the red beans and rice!

    Maggie Moo's: Moooove over for Ice Cream!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Restaurant Name: Maggie Moo's

    When I decided to ask my fiance to marry me, I did not realize quite how often it would have meant we had to go to the ice cream stores... so if you need any tips on where to find this cool treat, please email me!

    In Shreveport, I would recommend going to Maggie Moo's... where you can have ice cream your way... by picking a base ice cream and then adding mix-ins like strawberries, heath bar, peanuts, etc to make your cup extra special!

    Cool Beans!: Build your own Burrito!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Shreveport - Mantle at Cool Beans Shreveport
  • Mantle at Cool Beans Shreveport
  • by ATXtraveler
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Restaurant Name: Cool Beans!

    Sarah and I went as a large group to Cool Beans this evening, and enjoyed a build your own burrito experience. We were old pros at this type of food because of places like Chipotle and Freebirds, but this place was as good as it gets in Shreveport.

    The food was not as well prepared as some other burrito places, and I did not think it was nearly as good... but this is a fun place to enjoy a meal with friends. You get to add your own ingredients, so the only person to blame is yourself for a bad meal!

    Also... I would highly recommend drinking a coke or iced tea there, as Shreveport water does not taste very good!

     We haven't explored any of Louisiana yet and I feel it calling us!!!!! I'd love to tour some plantation homes--hopefully someday soon...

     Mark, I found your pages on Shreveport quite interesting and informative. I especially enjoyed the restaurant tips.

     Ha! You didn't know how much ice cream you'd be getting into when you married Sarah, eh? That's funny.

     They're building a Copeland's near me in Alexandria -- now if only they'd build a McAlister's!
