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'm visiting Family in stonewall and I'm from Virginia. At Home I can buy oxtails everyday and…read moreusually do. 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.

I passed this little food cart on my way to the gym, it smelled good, so this is where I wanted to…read morehave my post-workout meal. After hitting a pretty good leg-day, i drove back to the food cart and asked the woman at the window what the most popular spud was. She told me it was the brisket one. The carnivore that I am, also wanted some chicken wings. So now, I'm back at my apartment, devouring this massive potato covered in brisket, cheese, sour cream, chives, and bbq sauce. Wishing i had gotten another one for tomorrow. Definitely would recommend anyone in the area to stop by and check this little shop out. The potatoes alone were worth stopping for. Next time I plan to try one of the lobster spuds.

Oooooh this was some good. I was traveling from Shreveport…read moresouth and as I was getting close to Mansfield, I was hungry as it was 1:00pm. That McDs sausage biscuit at 6:30 was long gone. I did a quick Yelp search of restaurants in the area and Billy B's Cajun Grill was at the top of the list so that's where I headed, and since it on the side of 171, easy to get to. Go in, get me a half n half tea. Menu had a lot of options non- Cajun - burgers, Tex-Mex, steaks, CFS-, but if Cajun is in your name, well that narrows it down for me. What, no shrimp n grits on the menu? So I went with the smothered catfish - blackened on a bed of dirty rice and smothered in crawfish étouffée. OMG this was so good. So good in fact that I had to get an extra 2 hush puppies to soak up all that goodness. The waitress so nice to oblige that last minute request. So if you're in the area, don't pass on this one.

I visited Crawdaddy's Kitchen yesterday evening around 6:00 PM to get crawfish. Let me start by…read moresaying the seasoning was absolutely amazing flavor-wise, it was on point. However, the overall experience was very disappointing, which is unusual for me because I have eaten here many times in the past and have never had a bad experience until now. We were seated, and our waitress initially greeted us and brought drinks for me, my daughter, and my friend. After that, service became difficult. It took a long time to find our waitress when we needed refills. Eventually, I had to get up myself, and another server from a different section was kind enough to bring our drinks. When the crawfish arrived, they were extremely small for the amount ordered (three and a half pounds). They were not hot--only warm--and very wet, almost as if they hadn't been cooked long enough. It honestly felt like we received the bottom of the barrel. By the time we received the check, I was extremely disappointed, especially considering the amount of money paid. I'm not sure what was going on that night, but this experience did not meet the standard I've come to expect from Crawdaddy's. I truly hope this was just an off night, because this visit was not the Crawdaddy's experience I've had or expected in the past.
