The…read moreatmosphere is so cozy and welcoming--perfect for a relaxed lunch/dinner or special occasion. Everything is made fresh, and you can taste the difference in every bite. We ordered the pork chop over cheese grits with bacon and a mushroom red wine glaze--rich, savory, and melt-in-your-mouth perfection--and the Mardi Gras sandwich (OUR FAVORITE!) with French onion soup, which came bubbling with golden cheese on top and the most flavorful broth. The housemade bread is unbelievable--soft, warm, and served with maple butter that's dangerously addictive. Our meal started with a fresh salad and ended with the sweetest touch: tiny mint chocolate chip cookies that came with the check. Every detail felt thoughtful and homemade. It's a small staff, so don't expect to be in and out quickly, but the service is attentive and personal--absolutely worth the wait. A true local treasure with food that feels like it was made just for you.

It seemed they're either new or restructuring because there was more discussion about where to position a license and where to keep some binder than getting orders out. Our actual server and the chef who brought our meal out were both sweet. The proverbial too many chiefs and not enough Indians at play. But the food was good when it came so I do hope they get it figured out.

I should have just went to Longview for a better anniversary meal with the wife.

Oh well, we stumbled into Taste of Caddo and were glad we did and that they were open because we were hungry! It's a decent sized small establishment with maybe 15 tables. The decor is East Texas/Louisiana which goes perfectly with the name. There were 6 of us, we were staying in RVs at the state park but wanted a break from doing our own cooking. The server seated us quickly and we soon ordered drinks. A few minutes later after the drinks arrived we put in our food orders. I decided to have a good old fashioned hamburger, they called the one I ordered a Swamp Burger but there was nothing swampy about it. 1/2 lb of meat, cheddar cheese, grilled onions and mushroom son a brioche bun and served with a good size helping of home made fries. My wife opted for lighter fare with the Chef Salad. Both of our meals were great and our friends enjoyed theirs as well. The place is quite casual and I imagine popular with locals as well as tourists. They were in no rush to get us to vacate our table, we finally had to ask for checks. Our server said, "just meet me at the register" so we lined up and paid our bills. When in Jefferson, give Taste of Caddo a try, they are doing a great job of serving up good food and hospitality.

This is now, by far, one of my favourite places! Atmosphere, good service and solid food are the…read moremain components of a great spot, and this place ticked all the boxes. We sat on the patio, mainly because we have two small dogs, but honestly, I wouldn't have had it any other way. The outdoor seating is literally right on the river, which is something I absolutely love. Granted, visiting in September means there are quite a few insects around, but that's just nature doing its thing! And, of course, being so close to the river comes with its little extras :) The service was absolutely impeccable. Abby, who took care of us, was attentive without being overbearing -- exactly the kind of service I appreciate. As for the food, they brought out freshly fried jalapeño hush puppies (?) (I think that's what they're called), along with fresh coleslaw and pickled goodies. They totally hit the spot! We then tried the cattle fish fillets, which was delicious and super fresh, as well as the grilled shrimp -- so good! The hand-cut fries and fried okra were also great. Honestly, I wish I lived closer so I could make this my regular weekly eating-out spot. Between the riverfront atmosphere, fantastic service and really good food, it's exactly the kind of place I love. And, of course, plenty of free parking!

The queso had just the right amount of smokey goodness. The cheese fries were not overly covered so everything wasn't soggy. Great call. We were so full after that we shared a popcorn shrimp entree.
