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 read more

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. read more

The blind tigers are Shreveport institution. Beautiful wood on the walls, ceilings and floor with stain glass and the glory of the south draped all over it. The food was excellent. Tried the voodoo shrimp -so good. Blackened tilapia-so good crabcakes-so good!!! The fried corn on the cob was just as good as I was told it would be. read more

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. read more

Great Cajun food! Friendly and helpful staff. Love the low key atmosphere. We always visit when we are in Shreveport/Bossier!!

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. read more

This place sadly is a shell of its former self. Service and cleanliness were good. Zero issues there. Food...not good. We had the following: *Crawfish Appetizer: overcooked *Cheeseburgers: overcooked and room temperature when it got to the table. *Fries: very good *Seafood Platter: yikes...gumbo was mostly veggies and rice. Shrimp etouffee and jambalaya looked like and tasted like it came from a Zatarains box. Blackened fish wasn't good. Use to enjoy coming here, but quality of food was a massive step back from a couple years ago. And $88 for 3 people with no alcohol is wild for what they serve. Too many good Louisiana eateries to try this again. read more

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. read more

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. 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

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

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

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

Visited this spot when I was in town this past weekend and it was okay. I always passed this spot when I was younger and wanted to go but this was the first time actually dining here. The ambiance reminds you of chimes in Baton Rouge (if you've ever been). Sports bar with a restaurant feel. Cajun and homey. The bartender and the servers were awesome. No complaints. The chicken sandwich I had was mid tbh. Flavor wasn't really there imo but this could be because it was near closing time. Maybe one day I'll try it again but we'll see. 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

Such good food and great service in a fun atmosphere. Oh and the sweet tea is the best. First stop on our return trip to Shreveport

I came on a Saturday afternoon at 1:45 PM and it was so crowded that I had to sit at the bar. Evidently they were shortstaffed in the kitchen. I had the Louisiana blackened chicken salad, which was OK but not great. The house dressing is definitely unique, a honey mustard marinade. If I went again, I would do something else. 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.

The food was delicious but the restaurant smelled old and musty and made it impossible to enjoy. Service was good!

The food was wonderful. I had the Grand bayou Catfish. I believe it was the best catfish I've ever eaten. Light fluffy crispy breading. Highly recommend. read more

The catfish was so good! The perfect amount of crispy and it wasn't greasy. Same with the fries. My husband loved everything the sampler came with. I think his favorite was the popcorn crawtails. The corn was buttery, crispy, and juicy, the rice had the perfect amount of spice for him (for me it was a tad too spicy), and the dirty rice hit the spot. My husband being born in Louisiana was a happy camper after eating Cajun food. We also took rice and beans to go with cornbread (not pictured). The only thing about this was I wish they gave more rice. It was a Dixie cup amount but tons of red bean sauce read more

Great service and great food. Recommend anything pecan crusted. Will definitely be back.

Good atmosphere, very fast service for what you are receiving. On both recent occasions I've been here the waiters have been very attentive and quick with all of my orders. The grilled chicken sandwich is my favorite item on the menu, with mushrooms and Swiss cheese and a good seasoning, it makes for a very good lunch for a very low price. The blackened tilapia however was not the best, my friend and I who dined together didn't really enjoy it. It had no flavor besides the blackened seasoning and it didn't fit our taste. The corn and potato wedges are fantastic. read more

Blind Tiger - The Shrimp Sampler - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Shreveport, Louisiana

We tempted fate and decided to try this place on our way back to Dallas. Not many places serve fried corn on the cob, which is what we had been craving, but we were in for a surprising treat! At first the hostess told us we wouldn't be able to dine-in so we asked to place an order to go. After perusing the menu and waiting for the bartender, the hostess found us and was able to seat us...yay! I had the three-shrimp combo consisting of fried shrimp, grilled shrimp, and voodoo shrimp! The plates are huge! It came with fried corn on the cob, dirty rice and jambalaya! Everything was amazing! My husband had the shrimp and catfish combo and loved it. The fish was fried to perfection and well-seasoned! The star of the night was the bread pudding...OMG! I was in dessert heaven! So pillowy soft and delicious! The cheesecake was good too, but nothing compares to the bread pudding! I really hope we can get back there in the near future. read more

THEY DONT WANT YOUR BUSINESS AND THEY DONT NEED YOUR MONEY! I placed a to-go order for a bread pudding and ice cream. I was told by the staff they cannot do any to go orders because they were short staffed. I failed to understand this concept so I asked for the manager and he told me the same thing. I did not see a difference in them putting the food on a ceramic plate versus in a to-go container? These people obviously do not want your business and they do not need the money. read more

Very polite staff! Great corner location. Extensive menu. Quick service. Nice place.

The lettuce in my salad was pretty bad. While it was a generous portion, the greens were mostly stems and I actually found two cores in it. I sat at the bar and the bartender was pretty busy, not going to beat them up on that, but it was slow service. As for ambiance, there's a strong odor of sewer gas permeating the entrance and dining room. When I first arrived, it almost caused me to leave, but as I got deeper into the dining room it subsided. However, as more people walked in, the smell came in with them. I think these guys can do better. read more
