    Shrimp Trawl Catfish Cocodrie
    Michelle B.

    We started off with the crab dip which was amazing!! I would get it again. Also LOVED the garlic rolls. Then, I went with our waitress' recommendation, the Cocodrie which came with 3 fish filets (one blackened, one grilled, and one fried with crawfish etouffee served over rice. So good! My husband had the shrimp trawler. Everything was so tasty- we couldn't even finish these large meals! We couldn't leave without getting 2 beignets which our server suggested some strawberry sauce to go with it- that is a must!! We appreciated our server, Maggie, so much! She was sweet, attentive, and helpful. One of the better experiences we have had in a while!

    Shrimp brochette
    Allison P.

    We didn't know what to expect when we walked it. It kind of resembles a Cracker Barrel due to its merchandise section. Our waitress's name was Amber, and she was a phenomenal representation of southern hospitality. We mentioned we had gotten our baby's pic with Santa at Bass Pro Shop a couple weeks ago, and it turns out she had dated Santa's son the food was amazing--especially the rolls! We asked for another serving of them. I got the Chicken K-jun Bleu, and Boo got the Shrimp Brochette. I luckily had enough leftover to take home for another meal. We will definitely need to return to try their bread pudding, one of my favorite desserts.

    Limp vegetables from frozen in a pool of butter
    Bob M.

    Used to be one of my favorite places in Louisiana anytime I visited The service at this location started off very slow, but gradually picked up The quality of the food is not what it used to be Many of the ingredients were frozen, not fresh The mixed vegetables were obviously from frozen and laying in half a bowl of butter. The stuffed shrimp was tough and not flavorful. It comes with crab on top, but there was so little you could barely make it out We ordered grilled oysters, and the oysters were so dry and tasteless they were hard to eat My wife got étouffée and shrimp, which was so poorly cooked, She couldn't eat it. It's a shame that this used to be one of the best restaurants for seafood in Louisiana Time and age have taken their toll

    Crawfish Étouffée
    Tyler B.

    This place has some of the best crawfish etouffe I've had! Definitely the best I've had in Shreveport, it's now the only place I go for etouffe. Definitely recommend

    Superbness!

    Seafood platter

    Stop here on my way back to Dallas. Food was really good and our server took great care of us. If you loved grilled oysters this is the place to come.

    Front area. Photo op.

    In it heyday it was the best, but the food has gotten lazy menu not updated in the kitchen and the one they had you. The actual food was decent quality heavy sauced and no imagination on the seasonings you can tell the kitchen is ran by an employee not a chef. The ambience was last updated in 1980 something, the place was somewhat clean but just enough. The wait staff was great on point and seemed to like what they were doing.

    Ribeye and Cajun potatoe
    Paul N.

    There is a R and K in Lufkin that I used to frequent when I lived in east Texas. Restaurant was well lit despite all the dark colors. The booths were all clean and it smelled clean. And the food? The food was fantastic. Then there's the r and k in Shreveport. It's in the corner of an old strip mall, and has been here for decades. Which is fine and all but man, is it in need of a facelift. All the way around. Was greeted and said I was going to sit at the bar. They have a large bar area, but if you sit at the bar you have only one angle to watch a TV. And when eating solo TV is essential. At least for me. Bartender was great. Polite, accommodating, and checked on me multiple times. The food isn't the same. And maybe it's not a fair comparison. I'm using my experience from 15 years ago in a completely different town. The steak while good flavor was way overcooked. But at that point I didn't want to wait for another steak. I also hate food waste. Don't want to toss it because of me being picky. The Cajun potatoes was good, but very dry. Not how I remember that as well. Just overall it's dark, very dated, and needs some attention to bring it up to a nice restaurant. I know they have the capacity, use Lufkin for a reference. All that to say, I dont I'll find my way back here again. Cheers

    Chicken and waffles strawberry mimosa
    Ciara C.

    Had the pleasure of visiting this restaurant while in town for the LoveTour. I'm from New Orleans so the Sunday brunch felt like home. We had the shrimp and corn bisque, chicken and waffles, bread pudding and strawberry mimosas. It was delicious. Our waitress, Crystal R was so sweet and such an incredible vibe. Like I wanna be her friend lol. Can't wait to come back.

    Stuffed Shrimp and Fried Okra

    First time and the food was pretty good especially the rolls. I plan on trying others items to see if it meet the level of the stuff shrimp that I had.

    Key lime pie
    Monty H.

    Amazing. Stopped through here on a road trip and the restaurant is nice and big, perfect for parties but great for couples and families too. Food is authentic and portions are big, the desserts are all homemade and the key lime pie tastes just as amazing as it did in the Florida keys. Boudin balls are just a tiny bit salty but might pair well with a plainer dish. Margarita was also quite good. Would highly recommend.

    The food was amazing!! Can not get enough! I ate so much, I wanted to unbutton my pants! The food…read morewas savory and well seasoned. The steaks were tender and juicy. The potato's and "green beans" (haricots verts) were so amazing and delicious. The dessert was so tasty, I couldn't stop eating. The appetizer (spinach and artichoke dip) was so delicious, I wish it had just a little more spinach in it but overall I loved the chunky artichoke and all the cheese. The chips were a side to it and they appeared freshly baked and super crispy. Heavily seasoned but perfect. Everything was just amazing. The restaurant was quiet when we arrived (around 5p is when they opened) but picked up later in the evening. There is a small bar where happy hour starts around 4p. It was a great experience. The staff was great! Our waiter (Scott) was extremely friendly and had the perfect amount of "checking on us" timing. He wasn't doing too much or too little. He checked on us at the right moments and was extremely patient when we were deciding dessert. He was quick to take our order and got us our food in a timely manner. Everything was just perfect. Had a great time!

    We did not have a good entree when we celebrated our 54th wedding anniversary at 2Johns the…read more second weekend of December. We were deeply disappointed. The food was not very good... It was too loud in the patio and I had a wobbly chair‼‼‼won't be returning. You need to beef up your food with the prices that you charge, it should be good. My husband had a $62 filet mignon that was too spicy and not a good quality. I had the trout. It was ok. I did not like stacking the food. Trying to be fancy and your patron can't find what they ordered. Had a wonderful server and the bread was good.
