It looks like it may have once been a garage, but it has been transformed into a warm, lively, and welcoming gathering space filled with great music, laughter, and Southern charm. There were friendly dogs relaxing outside, little kids dancing around, and a staff that made everyone feel welcome the moment they walked in. I was only in Shreveport for a short work trip, but the hospitality here really touched me. And the jambalaya? Absolutely delicious. Comfort food with soul. Shreveport has some hidden gems, and I think I found one at Marilynn's.

On my second trip to the bar the bartender suggested just converting to a bottomless mimosa. I which point I should've said no, but there's a first time for everything and this Sunday morning brunch was that day. The food was phenomenal! My boyfriend's chicken biscuit was the perfect blend of spice and honey-sweet. Chicken was fried well, still juicy. My sausage gravy biscuit was fantastic as well. We tried the beignets and French toast that our friends got, those were also really good. This remodel has been amazing for this place. Very clean, great service. Seriously, no complaints. Just thankful I had a ride home.

However I ordered a to-go order of 2 piece fish/ 2 shrimp from here, and my fish was rubbery , my hush puppies were over cooked, and my shrimp seemed to be fried in flour and had a very off putting color and texture, I believe because they fried the shrimp in a flour batter and not cornmeal???( WHY)?? Also the coleslaw was watery.. In the same order was an order of lemon pepper chicken that looked dreadful and over fried in a very dark color....( weird) not looking at all like lemon pepper wings I've ever had before. And a burnt piece of bread/ biscuit or whatever it was.. Sadly I will not be back...

LeaIV's Cafe is our Favorite Happy Place because they serve Excellent Soul Food that tastes like…read moreMama, Daddy, PawPaw and Grandmama cooked back in the day. This Fabulous Family Restaurant is located right on the border of Keithville and Stonewall, Louisiana. They offer a wide variety of mouthwatering dishes, daily specials, beverages and scrumptious desserts to satisfy every palate. Just check their menu for the hours and offerings. With a warm and inviting atmosphere, this cafe provides a welcoming space for locals and visitors alike. My husband and I learned about them on the Tasty Tuesday news article that was featured on KTBS. When we asked how they got started, the owners Tanesha and Wade Hall responded that they opened their restaurant, LeaIV's Cafe, at the beginning of the summer because they love to cook and realized, as Stonewall residents, that there are very few food options in town. We agreed, for as we told them, just in visiting Shreveport, we noticed limited quality options, other than our cooking the food ourselves. Tanesha also said that it all started at her business, Inner Quality Services, in Stonewall when she and Wade started selling plates out of the building. It became a big enough hit that they decided to move to this current site at 671 U.S. Hwy. 171 Suite M as soon as it became available. For us, Sunday dinner always means family and the sharing of love through a meal cooked straight from the heart. We happen to believe that every day should feel like Sunday, full of prayer, joy and love. So we are excited about this mutual belief that their family has also shared and enjoyed for many years. Everything we have tasted in our visits at LeaIV's has been "spot on" delicious. The perfect seasoning and jovial atmosphere is on point, so warm, inviting and flavorful with Friendliness, Love, Kindness and Soul. We keep coming back whenever we get the chance. Come on down and try LeaIV's Cafe. You will not be disappointed!

I went to two different places in Bossier, the first didn't have any and said they were too expensive. The place I visited only sold them on Thursday. Due to the distance I gave up the visiting Thursday so I Googled "Oxtails near me". Low and behold I discovered this fine Dining Establishment 1 1/2 miles away. So I called and asked if they had oxtails today and was told "Yes". Upon entering I felt right at home and saw many locals enjoying their meals. Everything looked appealing. I paid the same price here as I do in Virginia. The food was bulging yet truly stuffed to the point of overflowing...HUGE portions and it all tastes good. Large pieces of oxtails too. I was served enough food that will last at least 2-4 days. This is my go to place for all my meals while in Stonewall.
