Blind Tiger, wow. I saw the receipt and thought, I don't remember going to a gentlemen's club. It's a restaurant though.... That's neither here or there. The food was incredible. I wish the restroom was a little more clean (but I'll use the restroom at home next time). We had a burger, a big bowl of etouffee, and my lil on had a seafood gumbo. It was all gold. The waitress was young but she was hopping and popping and taking care of business. The meal was certainly a value for the green back. We will be back!
Perfect corner spot. Lots of curiosities. Old unique layout. Our service was stellar. Spot on never let a glass get empty. I wish I had a chance to try everything on the menu. We had the meat pie apps and I have the Catfish Grand Bayou. Both superb dishes
The servers are super quick to take your order without making you feel rushed. You will be checked on without being forgotten if you are undecided on your order. The drinks appear fast and they are good! The food is terrific and not overpriced. Highly recommend the grilled chicken!!! The VooDoo Shrimp is like eating seafood buffalo wings. The place is family friendly, clean, and relaxing.
The food here was sooo flavorful and cooked to perfection!!! We sat upstairs where it was darker lighting, which we loved. The drinks were strong but well balanced and so good! Our server was very good and attentive. I definitely recommend eating at the Blind Tiger if you're in the area.
A good spot right in the middle of the city that has some authentic creole cuisine. The drinks were good but unfortunate that if given the wrong recommendation you can't exchange it. The protein of the food was delicious but the sides left me wanting more. The main attraction was the appetizer which was crab cakes and very delicious
Walking in you're welcomed right away and taken to a table or bar , the service I received my first visit was above and beyond and I went back the next night . I ordered voodoo shrimp both times and they truly area amazing . I'm a chicken eating kinda guy so first night was an achafalaya dish and a sandwich the second visit ... The place is family friendly and sports area on at the bar area .. Definitely go if you live here and or visiting.
We took advice from others and parked free at Bally's casino. The restaurant's crawfish, catfish and shrimp are all imported. This is to keep the prices more reasonable. We were there for lunch and got the popcorn crawfish, French chicken sandwich and voodoo chicken sandwich. Both were tasty and the lunch menu was very reasonably priced. Our waitress was helpful and careful about allergy restrictions.
We had the absolute sweetest waitress! The vibe was very laid back & casual. Lots of business folk eating inside. We got boudin balls for an appetizer. They were fresh & warm. Good taste! The cornbread was good. The fried okra was fresh! So so good if you love okra. Not salted ant though. The crawfish étouffée is so mid. It's not even rate-able. The sauce itself tasted like water with a little flavor. Not worth paying for. The pecan crusted chicken is absolutely not pecan crusted. It's plain breading with a low quality chicken breast. The mustard sauce was gross. Very watery and tasted lukewarm a mayo dressing? Out of 10, I'd rate it a solid 3.
Whoa what a meal. Great place and vibe inside, service over the top and the flavors will knock you out. I had the Crawfish Combo. Fried crawfish tails, fried Cajun corn on the cob, jambalaya rice, and crawfish étouffée. This plate was so full of flavor it knocks you out. So stuff from eating this combo. Loved it.
This is my go to spot when I hit the casinos in the area. They are friendly, the vibes are relaxed and the food doesn't miss. Red beans are my favorite.
Tasty! I came here from out of town and really enjoyed the okra and the crab cakes. I loved the ambiance of the place and it has a rustic charm about it. Our server was so sweet and was good at refilling our beverages. I will say that the main downfall was that our meals were all served with my husband's order missing. They ended up bringing it later and did not charge us for it. I appreciated the way they handled the mistake. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic experience with some good Cajun food.
Staying at Bally's Casino, this restaurant is just a short walk up the plaza. Probably about a quarter-mile so an easy walk. While we never felt unsafe, there were certainly interesting folks along the walk so I'd advise to walk in groups. The place is nice and the lunch crowd this day around 1:00 is usually a good sign when you've got a couple large groups along with a slight waiting time for a table. We had reservations set for 10 but then 15 of us showed up. A tip of the cap to them for still helping us and certainly very understanding as to the slower service given their accommodation. The food however, I am compelled to say that it's either hit or miss. My wife and I started with appetizers of red beans and rice ($3.95) and mush puppies (fried boudin balls $8.95). I thought the beans and rice were fairly bland but you know the Tabasco seems to fix everything. The mush puppies were quite good, however and so the procession of good and bad started and became the theme for the day. I ordered the Bayou Crabcake dinner ($14.95) and I thought it very good. For the most part they seemed to do fried very well here. The flavor of the day, however, was not something I ordered, but my cousin instead. Fried Catfish was the clear winner, making me wish I had ordered it, but nonetheless enjoying every bite shared with me. Such a light and flavorful fry and the entire table very much agreed this is a must order for next time. My wife is always a sucker for sampler platters and this place proved to be no different. She ordered the crawfish combo ($20.95) and I would have to say that it wasn't worth it. The meat pie was not liked by anyone, the crawfish etouffee also bland, and the fried crawfish just tasted a little funny. My wife ended up eating one of my crab cakes instead. Very friendly staff and the runner who brought out the food was polite throughout and made several trips. The vast majority of our party were either service folks or former bar owners so they were certainly taken care of with a tip added to the bill for large party. Hate having to navigate through good and bad items so next time I'd just recommend the mush puppies, crab cakes, and catfish as surefire winners. Also loved the fried ears of corn and the cole slaw. Price seemed to be fine at around $70 after tip including a beer and iced tea on our bill. If you need a quick walk to getaway from the tables and one-armed bandits this might do the trick. Just be careful what you order.

A recent FB question about who has the best fried mushrooms sparked a quest for me. Was it blind Tiger? Gibbons? Fumbles? The answers were varied. Turns out Gibbons doesn't even have them. Tigers was using very large mushrooms with caps that had opened. Better suited for sliced / sautéed. They were okay but I definitely enjoyed Fumbles more. The historic building is old and rundown. The old pool table was gone as well as the video poker room. The cubby with the autograph pictures and pay phone is just a dump station for lazy (or busy) staff. T-shirts available in a rainbow of colors. $17-$19 Restroom was okay. read more

We loved Blind Tiger. When I researched things to do during a stay in Shreveport Blind Tiger kept showing up. When we checked into our hotel the employees told us to go to Blind Tiger. All those recs were correct. Blind Tiger was great. It was also a quick walk from our hotel. The service was amazing. The food was just as good and it was a perfect setting. Comfortable seating and one of those welcoming restaurants that make you feel like you belong. This and our hotel were two of our best Shreveport experiences. read more

The chef lost their absolute mind today and achieved total redemption for The Blind Tiger's CATFISH. Perri was by far the best waiter I've had here---very nice and attentive. Super crispy, flaky and flavorful...this is the catfish I'm familiar with from this establishment. I ordered the salad and Silly Rabbit again and both were good. Delicioso in my torso read more
Don't order lunch portion fish and shrimp. They have good food here but should be illegal what the sell as 3 piece fish and shrimp lunch plate. They take one small filet and trim it up Into 3 little slivers the size of a French fry. The shrimp are small as well. Now don't get me wrong, they taste good, but not worth even paying for. The service is great, all the girls have been there for a minute and they know their job well. I'm just disappointed in manager calling this a 3 piece fish plate, they should do better, if I was manager I'd be embarrassed if my kitchen sent out this plate. I asked I get it about once every 3/4 months hoping it was just a fluke or bad cook but it's been the same every time for last couple years. read more

I am an out of towner and this is the 4th Cajun restaurant we have eaten at. Hands down the best Gumbo so far. Dark roux w shrimp, oysters and rice. The roux was perfect! Not too thick and not too soupy! I will be back just for Gumbo. We also had seafood cakes appetizer. They were perfectly cooked with a cornmeal crust filled with mostly fish. Didnt notice any crab or shrimp. Never the less, they were tasty when dipped in the house remoulade sauce! Think of it as an elevated fish patty! I had the Sampler plate. The blackened catfish was good but Ive had better. The étouffée was tasty, but I can really judge since it was the first time trying it. It was packed w shrimp. Glad I tried it. The stars of the platter were the cajun corn which was coated in cajun spices and deep fried!! Absolutely unique to me and delicious! But the Jambalaya rice was my favorite to the Gumbo. Soooo much cajun flavor. I know its a side but it was so flavorful and rice was nicely cooked. We shared the bread pudding. Average at best. I expect more. The interior is a mix of an old gaslamp type restaurant mixed with a bar! Well there is a bar in the middle. Lively noisy place but fun with good food. We will be back. I recommend this place especially for out of towners looking for good cajun food! read more

Food is still very tasty and good but the portion is smaller than in the past. Our waitress was attentive, knows the menu and suggested recommendations for us. I ordered the Cajun Sampler which I enjoyed very much. read more

Great ambience! Plenty of parking and some interesting drinks. I ordered the Mush Puppies and they weren't bad. The gumbo was tasty. The Cajun Sampler was a nice tasting of LA cuisine! I highly recommend the blackened fish for sure! Bread pudding wasn't bad. read more
This restaurant serves flavors that taste like Louisiana! Authentic and unique taste that don't lose the contrast of original flavors! First time coming here and the service was very nice, and friendly. I even noticed them re-seat a few tables due to the A/C blasting on them with no complaints and smiles on their faces at all times. Decor is up to par with the theme of the restaurant being original LA style food! Good times and good food! read more

We had to keep calling for the waitress. First time bringing my cousin and she started not feeling well after eating the fried catfish, which the waitress said was not "catfish" but that other fish..sawi....I thought the law said the menu had to be changed to say fish if the fish was not real catfish. The red beans and rice was delicious. The fried corn was delicious. read more

I used to love this place. Great food and service. Unfortunately today while dining there, I happened to look up and saw black mold on all the a/c vents! Absolutely unacceptable, unhealthy and disgusting. A later trip to the bathroom revealed even more mold. Sadly, I won't be returning. read more

This place is delish! I got the Cajun Sampler. It comes with blackened catfish, shrimp etoufee, corn bread, gumbeaux and fried corn. The catfish was the best. If you like fried food, this is a great place for you. Its a bar/restaurant atmosphere. We brought our young son here and he did great. The food came out hot and fresh. I recommend this place. read more

Fun downtown spot with great food and drink choices. Most food items have a Cajun influence. Every staff member we came into contact with were polite, helpful and quick. Food was tasty and hot. The fried Cajun corn is actually corn on the cob! The pecan crusted fish with mustard sauce is highly recommended read more
