    I'm a local musician and have played Bears in the past (I'm old) and live nearby so it was late and…read moreI was hungry so I figured why not stop in and upon doing so I was treated nicely by the staff and told how to order and upon doing so was well taken care of by one of the most friendly and beautiful bartenders ever and it looked as if they were not in short supply so that alone insures I will return and though the menu was limited I had no problem finding a brisket sandwich plate that was tasty and satisfied my hunger. I can't wait to go back to enjoy some local entertainment and I already know Bears to be a good room for blues and jazz so being an old rocker I will prepare myself for this next generation of musicians and see what the live music scene has in store for me,and hope to find it live an well and would like to add that all the staff including the doorman (who's a vocalist) were all nice and friendly so I shall return.

    Some of the best food in the city. I haven't been there to drink much but it was great service when…read moreI did. But the food was very very good. Great portions and chill staff. Definitely a must try here in Shreveport

    Parking is limited to the street and I had to park down and around the corner. Short walk from the…read morerestaurant. 11:36 party of 1. I chose to sit at the bar. But table seating was available. After taking a couple minutes to decide. I chose the shrimp poboy. It was delivered at 12:05, with the tails on. Before I could eat, I had to pull them off. It was fantastic. So I guess I'll be okay. By 12:20 I was cashing out lunch for one $20. They issued a 20% discount for my military id.

    When in Shreveport on a Monday, your dining options are...limited (unless you fancy a casino…read moredinner, which we did not). So, we ended up here--the only place open that wasn't serving up blackjack with a side of fries. First up: water. Now, if you've never had Louisiana tap water, let me tell you--it tastes like someone steeped a bag of potting soil in it for 12 hours. I was about to blame this restaurant until a little Google dive informed me that most of Louisiana water just tastes like this due to geosmin and MIB (algae bloom byproducts, apparently). Fun fact that nobody asked for, but here we are. Anyway, we pivoted HARD to cocktails. I ordered a Belvedere martini, which was well-made by Dustin but oddly expensive considering this wasn't exactly a swanky downtown hotspot. For dinner: Hubbs went for shrimp fettuccine, and while it was fine, it didn't exactly make us want to write home about it. I, on the other hand, ordered Natchitoches meat pies, thinking they'd be the real deal imported from the famous place there. Oh, how naive I was. Instead, they were sad little impostors, baked instead of fried, and just...meh. Final bill: almost $100 for four drinks and two average entrées. If we're dropping that kinda cash, I'd prefer a meal that didn't require an emergency cocktail switch just to recover from the water.

    I was in Shreveport for work. Collectively we decided on a steak. We went on a Monday (about a week…read moreago) and were informed they don't serve food on Monday or Tuesday. The bar was open so we had a couple. Trivia was getting fired up and everyone was hungry so we left. Back on the following Wednesday we sat in the Continental Room, just off the bar to the left when you go into the establishment. I was thinking...it would be packed. The three of us were the only folks eating at around 6:30 pm. The waiter comes out, asks what we want to drink. Beer for two of us and wine for my boss. I scan the menu and there are a lot of choices in when it comes to steak. Two of ordered the ribeye and my boss ordered the filet. The dining room is small with several tables for a family, some dudes eating after work or a cool place for a date. Maybe a little dated but the service was very good. The waiter was on top of the drinks and the food. Salads came out almost immediately. I had the wedge salad with Italian dressing. Very fresh lettuce and not too much dressing. Everyone else was happy with their salads. I ordered another Yuengling (in a bottle-nothing on tap) and the steaks were out shortly thereafter. The meat covered a lot of the plate. I ordered medium well and it came a little under done but was still very good. Bang for the buck you can't do better. The au gratin potatoes were ok. I have never had potatoes like that before. I would try them again. The Cub itself has been there since 1939. Definitely a dive bar feel. Brick building, solid and well built. Definitely will try for a repeat if/when I'm back in Shreveport. If you're in town give them a try. Service in the Continental room is very good, food is of good quality and not too expensive.

    Best steak in Shreveport! It almost feels as if you've stepped back in time in this tiny…read morerestaurant. Great service, great meal!
