Great little spot. They have a great staff, everyone was very welcoming and accommodating. We were immediately welcomed upon waking in. She gave us the run down of everything with great recommendations. We ordered the McKernan, and bacon cheddar dogs, and onion rings. They also have vegan options. All were great choices!!! The soda fountain was really good Stubborn soda. Custom flavors, recommend Black cherry, Agave Vanilla cream soda, or mix black cherry with draft cola (ala cherry coke). The food was outstanding, very delicious. The hotdog buns were very fresh, toppings were great on each entree. While we were enjoying our meal we were offered refills multiple times. This also marks the first time in 9 years I have seen my wife eat a hot dog(and the whole thing). Will defiantly be going back. TLDR: Quality food, and great customer service has won us over, we will be back. read more

Hi! It was my friend's and I first time at The Missing Link, one of our friends recommended it! The cashier was so sweet. I ended up getting the grilled chicken sandwich and fries. $15 is not bad for all of the food you get.. and such in a timely manner. Quick service, and multiple workers came up to us asking if we needed or wanted anything. Food was phenomenal. After we finished eating, we tried throwing away our trash/ cleaning up, and the lady came up and said she gots it. Definitely such a welcoming restaurant and the most amazing staff. Will be returning! read more

FINALLY dropped into the Missing Link and was very pleased. The decor is awesome, think big loft with lots of metal and wood with tall ceilings. The lighting was dim which sets a relaxed mood. They had a separate area to order food and the bar. The food was really good. Burgers, dogs and salad options too. The food was all reasonable prices, sides sold separately. I got the onion rings which came topped with spicy mustard, cheese and onions. The serving size was impressive and they were delicious. We also got the Cobb salad which was pretty standard. The dogs we ordered were the Gordon McKernan and the Drunk and Corrupt. They came served on toasted buns and of the two, I liked the Gordon best, the jalapeños and avo poblano dressing were delicious with just the right amount of spice. The D&C was good too, the sauerkraut was a little sweeter than I prefer. The service was awesome. Smiles all around, they made great reccos and we were checked up on regularly. read more

I'm visiting from omaha. It's just not the great burgers that make this place. It's everything else. It's Liz greeting my nine month old Anders when I got here, to the garlic fries, to the perfect fun and unique sodas and fresh squeezed lemonade and iced tea. The owners are the chefs and you can tell. Everyone here cares about what they do and it shows. Easy 10 min walk from the casinos and plenty of parking. A real gem. read more

The Missing Link has never missed when I've eaten there! The food is always delicious and comes out fast. I would subtract a star or two for my expanding waistband, but that's on me not them. Get it?? I've really enjoyed everything I've ordered. Their burger is one of the, if not the, best burger in town. read more

The Missing Link - This is the burger, doubled with bacon. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Shreveport, Louisiana

Found a gourmet hotdog spot on Yelp so we had to try it. We're in town from Dallas on a work trip. The atmosphere is pretty cool, def a hipster retro type of vibe. We went around lunch time and they weren't very busy. The dogs are on Hawaiian bread which is thee best. Didn't take super long for the food to come out and the waitress/ manager were nice and friendly. Oh! They also have speciality sodas which were also good. the best one is the pineapple cream soda. read more

Very solid meal . The Chicago dog was huge. An anaconda would have trouble unhinging its jaw to consume. Four sport peppers half a tomato, dill pickle and other toppings covering a great hot dog. Staff following all guidelines for the virus , place was spotless. Fries with garlic and Rosemary outstanding . Saw post about no masks but my visit our waiter was wearing a mask and very helpful and considerate. read more

The Missing Link - Cousin eddy dog and fries! Pic is a little dark, but the place has enough lighting to comfortably eat! - Hot Dogs Near Me - Shreveport, Louisiana

Wonderful, eclectic eatery with live entertainment. Friendly attentive service. We had the Classic Hot Dog and Philly Steak. The soft Hawaiian grilled bun was like a cloud of happiness the meat sat upon. The beignets where perfectly cooked, topped with power sugar and a delicious icing that I could have drank! Will definitely come back the next time we come to town. read more

Hubs and I met here for lunch today, it's been a couple of years since we ate here and we had almost forgotten about it. I got a burger with bacon and he ordered the Philly, and we shared an order of bacon cheddar fries. The food was amazing and we absolutely loved it. I would've given a five star review if it wasn't for the girl mopping all around our table right after our food arrived...the smell of cleaner (PineSol) inundated our nostrils and it made our food far less enjoyable. I realize they were closing in 30 more minutes but that's a huge turnoff and made us feel like we were expected to hurry and get out. (Not to mention the very wet, slippery concrete floor...lawsuit waiting to happen!) Spending $50 on lunch is bad enough, at least let us enjoy our food! We'll probably give them another chance, hopefully there'll be no more mopping floors while customers are eating. read more

Food is top notch. Very nice and pleasant atmosphere. Ate the Cousin Eddie Chili dog and their rosemary and garlic fries. Both were awesome. The Mrs even thought it was better than her home cooked chili dogs. Didn't get to try the Chorizo con Heuvos because they are still getting certain things worked out due to the covid fallout. Excited to see it come back on the menu. Definitely plan on coming back. read more

Burger was decent, It needed more flavor, not sure it just wasn't remarkable. Downside was it was like $16 for a burger and drink no side was offered. read more

They can be a little hard to get a hold of, but when you do the host is a very pleasant guy. If I worked here I don't think I'd ever get sick of the smell of roasting pork that wafts all over. My crawfish dog was pretty tasty, the bun was probably the best part (all buttery and what not). Two things they deserve a nod for are their classy interior as well as carrying stubborn soda, as opposed to typical big name brands. read more

Good selection of dogs and other meals. The cheddar bacon dog was what I ordered and it came out perfect, every bite was delicious, and the fries were spectacular. Inside the restaurant was very "home like", board games, wooden furniture with polish, and it was enjoyable just sitting waiting 5 minutes for my take out order. The hostess was extremely nice and helped provide recommendations for what me and my girlfriend liked. read more

Some of the best food in Shreveport if you like hot dogs, sandwiches, etc give them a try!!!

Definitely worth stopping by for dinner! We were in town for a tournament and they were able to accommodate a big group which is hard to do. They had a great selection of food and everything we ordered was delicious - especially the BBQ Grilled Cheese, sweet potato fries & beignets! The family that owns / runs this place were incredibly sweet and attentive too. This honestly was the highlight of the trip! read more

The Missing Link - The Cajun Rosemary & Garlic Fries - Hot Dogs Near Me - Shreveport, Louisiana

We LOVE the missing link! The ambiance is fun, the people are super friendly, and the food is top notch. I love their cheesesteak and the Cousin Eddie. The homemade fountain sodas are super good, too. read more

Great venue in the middle of downtown. A bit sketch but they've got their own parking lot and the area is revamping itself. This appears to be shared with a few medical offices, but it's easy enough to find. Staff are super friendly and very happy to upsell. Order food on one side, grab drinks on the other. You need a separate tab for each. They'll get you a number and you can sit yourself anywhere you'd like. Plenty of room here, and they do have some board games to pass the time. The decor is very steampunk. The food was average. I wasn't exactly sure what made the cajun cajun. It was sweeter than expected. The garlic rosemary fries came highly recommended and did have some good seasoning, but just not sure it was worth the higher price tag. The bread pudding was indeed excellent however. Super rich, and very well cooked. I really dug the ice cream on top. Drinks are standard but have some above average prices for what is largely a hot dog place. read more

Great ambiance, music, good and spirits. Super cool interior to the place. A great way to support and enjoy local in a metro setting.

I'm going to jump straight to the bread pudding. Oh. My. Gawd. Best bread pudding ever! I will come back here purely for the that. I also had the drunken hotdog. It was good. Creative and tasty. But you're paying ten dollars for a hotdog and that's a little pricey. I also ordered a White Russian which was $11. Overall the food is good, I love the atmosphere and the games available to play, but they're overpriced. read more

What an absolute hidden gem! The dogs are outstanding and fries are just as good! Beer is cold and people are friendly! I can't believe there isn't always a waiting line around the block to get into this place! Definitely a must visit anytime you are in Shreveport read more

While the food is very good, almost sinful in its richness and no doubt calories, it was the uniqueness of the craft sodas that drew me back in last week. imagine my disappointment to see the craft sodas were replaced with the ubiquitous Coke fountain. Oh well, fare the well Missing Link, I can find a Coke fountain anywhere. read more

I love coming here for lunch. The staff is always so polite, friendly, and courteous. I have always had my food come out quick, hot, and delicious. I even hear other people say, "that was fast!" It's great that on the rare occasion I leave work for lunch, I have been able to make it back within my lunch hour. The environment is comfortable, cool, and a little dim. It's a nice contrast to the blistering heat outside. I also love a place that is serving up something different from the run of the mill menus the general area has. You are getting unique sausages or hot dogs, that are a good size. I never leave hungry. Some of my favorites are the Cajun Dog which is an alligator and pork sausage dog and the Bacon Cheddar which is a wagyu-beef jalapeno sausage dog. My only drawback is the old school soda choices, the diet is usually out so I just get unsweetened tea I have to say how much I like this place, despite me not wanting to wait in line behind all the people who might come and try it! I usually tell out of towhees to give this place a try. read more

Super impressed with the enviornment of this place! Great location downtown across from the courthouse. The food is generally on the more expensive side for hot-dogs, but they are gourmet hot-dogs and part of that cost is likely the upscale environment. Seems like they have happy hours and would be a nice place to meet up with a group of friends or a date night. read more

This place must be one of the best kept secrets in Shreveport. It's so classy. Decor and styling is above and beyond. And they Food was fantastic. Just beware the sides are pretty large. Which is nice. But just make sure you head there with a big belly ready to take it all in. Staff are super sweet. Just really nice people. This place deserves to be open long hours every day. Just needs the locals to support it. Go and treat yourself and spread the word! read more

WOW! Just wow!!! So freaking good! Found this place on yelp...walked in Friday night 5 mins before close and they did not make me feel intimidated on ordering last minute. The food was UHMAAAZING! We got the Gordon dog and the Bacon Cheddar dog along with rosemary garlic fries. I cannot explain how delicious ALL of this was. The ambiance was superb! Decor was modern rustic and so unique. I am SOOOOO impressed from A to Z. Coming from Dallas who has a lot of great restaurants they set the bar high so coming here and feeling this way should tell you something. read more

I was intrigued walking up to the joint. The steampunk vibe really spoke to the artist in me. The entrance makes ya go through a lobby and then the main door is just cool. I chose to sit at the bar because I was by myself. I was joined by a couple who visit was their first. And they were replaced by a couple who's visit was their first. Evidently virgins sit at the bar. I couldn't help but notice that their draft selection consists of 4 beer. There didn't seem to be a liquor selection, and I didn't notice a wine menu. So I asked about that. They just got the license to serve so do expect an expansion. Did I mention I was greeted immediately? I was. She (Matty) was extremely friendly and very helpful. I felt like she could read me, and dialed in on everything I wanted. Before I asked for it. Also they had a fund raiser for the providence house, so that's pretty cool too. I left before it got too noisy. read more

Something different, something simple and something perfect sums up this unique eatery. Walking in off the street you first notice how clean and spacious this old brick wall building truly is. Ordering is done by the station under the menu hanging on the wall. Many verities to choose from including my choice, The Cousin Eddie. A fully rich baked bun packed with chili & cheese, then topped with chopped red onions. I really appreciate the "real" sausage style beef wiener. For a side I choose Rosemary & garlic fries topped with goat cheese I believe. Very tasty indeed. Service is outstanding with a friendly wait staff who seem to know what the customer needs before having to ask. Overall, the food and experience are excellent! read more

My husband and I loved this place on our first visit. He ordered the Carb Your Enthusiasm dog and I ordered the Chicago dog. We also ordered two different fries as well. He got the Bacon Cheddar fries while I chose the Rosemary and Garlic fries. We were both very satisfied with our meals! The hotdogs are not small either. We could have shared an order of fries, but we couldn't agree on just one! I also love that they had a root beer and cream soda fountain drink machine, instead of the usual Coke or Pepsi most self-serve places offer. I'm excited to go back and try more menu items next time! read more

This place is so neat! Nice little hangout downtown with live music, a cool bar, and good food, the sodas are all really neat!

Definitely a cool hangout and we will be back! read more

This is hands down the best hotdog I've ever had. I just moved back from Germany, the land of the Brit - and Germany has nothing on the missing link! The atmosphere of the building was super steampunk and modern in such an old historic building. The wait staff were super nice and knowledgeable. They acted like they wanted to be there which made me feel completely comfortable. The fountain drinks were not your normal "coke" or "Pepsi" and don't get me started on the cool machine! Overall the price for everything was a little under $20.00 for a dog, some fries, and a soda but it was absolutely worth it. 11/10 would recommend. read more
