Once again we discovered that not many restaurants are open on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday in…read moreJefferson. 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.

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. I consider myself a popcorn shrimp expert and this was outstanding. Couldn't stop eating it. Almost made myself sick as I didn't want to leave any of it. Oh so good! Pricing is extremely reasonable. If you are in Jefferson this is a must-stop for great food, at least for lunch as that is when we were there.

We ordered our food but then sat back there 45 mins to receive our food cold from the runner and our server Tony hadn't been by to check on us. We told the runner we don't want the food cold so she took it back and manager came out to apologize / food comes back 2 mins later from the microwave . The same food that sat on the line! The biscuits were burned black! We barely touched the food and then asked Tony to bring us our check . Explained we were forgotten but he claimed he did not forget us and rolled his eyes. Comes back with the check and throws it at us and says buy a personality! In my 15 years of hospitality never had a server do that and I would never dream of doing that/ we let them know inside and they took off 20 percent the kicker was that Tony said I took money off your check and you aren't grateful but the prices were more expensive than the menu! Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else in Jefferson! After being treated like that and cold food our entire meal should have been comped!

Tasted the CFSteak, the coating tasted like it was made with old flour. The roll was on the well done side. Manager brought out a sample of white chicken chili...the chicken had no flavor, too much cumin and not enough salt; the broth was flavorless and weak. Husband didn't want me to say anything, but they need to know, hence the review. The three stars is for the BLT. It would be one star for everything else.

I was so disappointed! A little over a month ago my hubby and I found this little diner and…read morethought, we'll give it a shot. It was the best food we had ever eaten (I had a chicken fried steak sandwich and he had the dbl meat, dbl cheese burger). We were so happy with the food that we were willing to over look the fact that it took almost an hour to get our food with only 2 other tables there before us (granted one of them had maybe 6 or 7 ppl at it but still) We were passing though this past weekend and decided we would go back for lunch. I don't know if the ownership has changed again since maybe the end of October/early November but the menu had all changed, there was nothing there off the menu we had the 1st visit. The cook appeared to be the same cook but this time there was more help working, he had an assistant (a younger boy, looked about 7 or 18) and I suspect he was working the grill but the wait time was still the same, if not worse and sad to say the food was not that good this time. Maybe it was just that I had my mouth watered for the best CFS sandwich ever but I ordered a grilled ham and cheese sandwich with tots (supposed to have pepperjack and cheddar cheese - there was no pepperjack and the bread was a little more toasty than I like) BUT my hubby had the chicken and bacon waffle and it was completely gross. The waffle was way too dense and almost too much to eat and the chicken was almost burnt on the outside and almost not done on the inside. I can overlook long cooking times if the food is awesome, which it was the 1st time we were here, but if you are going to serve ehh food WITH almost an hour wait time then count me out! Probably won't be coming back which is a shame b/c I really liked this place.

We are generously giving it a 4 star. We had the Fried Fish on Friday. It came with fries, pinto beans and cole slaw. The fries, beans and cole slaw were all excellent. The little building looks like a dive which in most cases means the food is real good. The cook inside was a sweet older lady. But, the fish, today, was not good. I'm sure other days it is awesome like another reviewer said. Rarely do we not finish something.....even if we don't like it. This is the 3rd time in 9 years of eating everywhere we did not finish. The fish had cooked too long or been sitting there too long or something. It was very chewy and tough....we had to rip bites off. The filets were also very, very thin so we were eating a lot of fried batter. Anyway, we bet it's not always like that. I wish we had gotten that burger we thought about instead.

The restaurant is very simple. There is nothing fancy about the ambience at all. It's just downhome country. You order at the register and then grab a table. We got there just before the after church Sunday rush so we were able to find a table easily. Shortly after we got our food, the line was out the door. The food came very quickly. They call your name and bring the food to the table. I had a two meat platter with turkey and brisket. The turkey was tender and just slightly smoky. The brisket was excellent. I forgot to ask for lean like I usually do but the brisket was not overly fatty. The meat was very smoky, very tender, and very flavorful. The portion was generous for $18. I would guess half a pound of each meat (?) The sauce on the table is a bit sweet and tangy. The BBQ beans were excellent. The potato salad was good but needed salt. We all enjoyed our meal. Even the kid, who is super picky, ate a bunch of brisket. It was a good choice and I definitely would eat here again if we came to Jefferson City.
