What amazing food. Everyone even the other guests were so friendly. We talked to some regulars and along with the staff recommended some great options for food. It was my favorite experience in Shreveport. We were down for graduation and it was just amazing.
I went to The Blind Tiger on a whim while passing through Shreveport. I had the shrimp sampler which served shrimp four ways: deep fried, blackened, voodoo style, and etoufee. It was excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful. I ended up making friends with other patrons in the bar area. I will definitely return to The Blind Tiger when I get back to town.
We went for lunch and were seared promptly. I ordered the Cajun sampler and my partner had the blackened chicken salad and gumbo! We loved the food, it had some heat and was very salty, and flavorful. The local beer in a sweaty chilled glass was perfect on a hot and sticky summer day.
Total banger of a meal. Catfish what's a tender you could barely pick it up, and the flaky pecan crust a perfect pairing. Wedge cut fries were light and crispy and not dents and gross like so many other restaurants. Definitely great food and when you consider how little it cost, it's an absolute win
We rolled into The Blind Tiger for a late lunch, and left totally blown away — not just by the food, but the entire experience. Every single thing we ordered was packed with flavor and made with real love. It’s the kind of meal you think about long after it’s over. We started with the fried mushrooms, which were perfectly crispy and totally addictive — the kind of appetizer that disappears fast. Then came a spread that seriously delivered: red beans and rice that tasted like home cooking at its finest, hearty and well-seasoned; cornbread that was golden, moist, and just sweet enough; crispy potato wedges that were dangerously good; and crispy, flaky catfish that melted in your mouth. We also tried two killer sandwiches — the Blind Tiger Burger (a beast in the best way — juicy, bold, unforgettable) and the French Chicken Sandwich, which somehow managed to be both indulgent and refined. Honestly, every bite was amazing. The flavors, the portions, the quality — top notch across the board. We loved it so much we even walked out with a Blind Tiger t-shirt to remember the meal. If you’re anywhere near, don’t miss this place. Come hungry — and maybe leave with a souvenir too.
Superb food with an awesome friendly staff. The mush puppies in particular were amazing! Our waitress Megan was very attentive and friendly, and this place has an overall very historic and established atmosphere.
Unique old city feel, looks to maybe be original from when it was built. Service was quick and was checked on often. Food was average. Fried fish was cooked correct. Crawfish etouffee had a bitter taste. Red beans were over salted. Salad was good, the ranch dressing was the highlight.
