    The service was friendly w/a smile from the moment we walked in the door. The food was so good. They serve breakfast and/or lunch all day long. I had a chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, fried okra, all white gravy & a biscuit & a Diet Coke.My son had 2 fried eggs, 8 oz steak, side of link sausage (3 pieces) & side of bacon (3 pieces) and coffee & a biscuit. Total w/out tip $42. We couldn't have ask for better service or food. I'll be back for sure.

    I've been here twice in recent months. I found this place with a "breakfast" search on Google maps because I was not finding much in the area that did anything for me. They open at six in the morning, and I'm a particularly early riser, so I waited until a little after six to show up and was surprised to find quite a few people already in there. Customers informed me that they generally open even earlier than six because people want in, so in they get. It's definitely a place for local regulars. Everybody seems to know everybody. Two stark differences in my pair of visits. When I find myself in a place like this, I tend to sit at the counter and just keep to myself. On the first visit, a woman sitting a couple seats away made it her personal mission to include me in the banter and started introducing me to everybody. We ended up sharing jokes and having a grand ole time. The second visit, I sat at the counter again, and when somebody two seats away left, the guy next to me immediately moved one seat away from me like I hadn't showered or something. I'm not offended by this. I know what kind of place I'm in, and I don't ever want to force myself into such a tight knit group. Now let's get to the constants and the good: Lorri runs this place and I believe is the owner. She is a no-nonsense type person, but even if you're an outsider like me, she makes darn sure that you're taken care of on every aspect of your meal. She even gave me a to-go cup of coffee for the drive back to my hotel after I'd finished eating! I got the steak and egg breakfast both times, which I believe is in the fifteen or sixteen dollar range. At that price, I expect the steak to neigh and winnie when I stick my fork in it, but people of Yelp, I'm here to tell you that I believe Lorri has kidnapped a team of culinary elves from parts unknown because this steak is mind blowingly good for the price. Like I didn't feel as though I was "settling" for a lower quality breakfast in exchange for a lower price. This thing was TASTY! Out the door with coffee and tip, the steak and egg runs me about twenty five dollars. I asked Lorri how she makes such good food for such low prices. She exhaled, and said it's getting tough. I hope this place is able to weather the inflationary storms of the day and continue on, even if it's primarily catering to a regular crowd of locals. When you see a special place like this, you know. We need more Cafe USAs in this world and fewer Denny's/IHOPs/Awful Waffles. Thanks Lorri and crew. I'll certainly be back.

    Love the patriotic atmosphere Staff is friendly . The fried pickles are spears which are different hamburger was fresh and tasty.

    This place is USA all the way. We had a nice breakfast at exceptional prices. The staff was kind. I would not recommend the French toast as it was not very good in my opinion.

    Quesadillas

    This sweet man came and catered at our wedding! And he made all kinds of food especially his world famous catfish and made us our special request of quesadillas and nachos we would recommend him in a heartbeat! And he made the ambience so heartwarming!

I attended with a local friend and he confirmed this is authentic. The experience: Friendly staff, a long restaurant with a bar section, followed by the condiments section, followed by a whole other bar somehow? I didn't poke my head back there but I found that intriguing. More on the condiments: They come with any sandwich. I probably took unfair advantage by taking enough lettuce, tomatoes, and onions to make an entire salad. I then asked for dressing, which they happily provided at no charge. And sandwiches? Do get. Delicious bread. The default bread appears to be the French - you could opt for their sourdough if you like - and it's not toasted. I love soft bread, and the po' boy was divine as a result. I loved the boudin. I loved that they have alligator sausage in multiple places on the menu. I loved everything about this place except the fact that summer means just about all of the beers were light, and I had to hunt and peck to find beers more my style. Which I did. And maybe those beers are lingering as I type this review. But BeauxJax gave me the warm, fuzzy, welcoming feeling I love in a restaurant. A great stop in Bossier. Worth a detour from Shreveport. Legitimate Cajun.

We finally got our drinks about 12:35 and placed our appetizer order. Appetizers came out about 15 minutes later and both were delicious. The Nori mayo makes the corn ribs, definitely recommend ordering them. The spinach and artichoke dip was very good as well, a bit spicy for my kid, no big deal. Our party order: Fish & chips Grilled chicken with mashed potatoes and a side salad Cheese pizza The library burger The cheese pizza and burger were the only edible items. Don't order the chicken breast without getting it Cajun blackened, unless you want a dry non seasoned over cooked chicken breast! The fish were so full of grease they fell apart as soon as you picked them & were inedible. 0/10. After being here an hour, we were getting a bit antsy. Once we had hit an hour and 10 minutes it had gotten to be a bit too much. Our waiter came by and kindly let us a know a table of 12 people were waiting on their food and then ours would be out we weren't in a rush so I guess it didn't matter, but we were beginning to be uncomfortable! The atmosphere is also strange? There are grills outside the front door, flour and other items stacked high in the hallway, soap and toilet paper shoved on the floor under the sinks. It feels very chaotic and unorganized. We were given a discount and key lime pie & a cookie for our "troubles". Even with the discount we were still over $100 for a bad meal.
