Jacquelyn's Cafe - Shreveport

I like this kind of simple no-nonsense place. Staff was friendly and tried to think along what I could order as a vegetarian. Just a salad it was. I got a large one. Somebody I was with got a small salad, but that was the same size as mine, but paid half for it. So I did feel a bit ripped off, especially as the sales was literally lettice and tomato's... Otherwise, well... the salad was fine, a bit over-dressed (to muched dressing).

Ist delivery order from this staple in Shreveport. I ordered sandwiches chicken salad had a smoky taste and shrimp salad both on wheat bread. The presentation was nice from the menu , I wasn't sure if the chips came with the sandwich but they are pictured on a plate . I ended up with extra potato chips. They weren't in a small bag but in a small take out container. There was also a pickle slice garnishing the meal . Sandwiches nicely cut in half. My favorite cake is German chocolate . One of my desserts ordered was the German chocolate pie and a slice of apple pie. Neither dessert was too sweet . For the apple pie I mainly tasted the cinnamon seasoning .

This is the kinda place I like to visit when I go on work trips. Little, hole in the wall diner that’s got great food for a good price. The atmosphere is friendly. The staff are personable and understanding. I’m eating here from now on whenever I come down. Love it!

I was probably 1 of the 1st 100 customers. It was fall of 83. I knew it was going to be exactly the kind of place I would love, and it has been for 40 years.Lately I've been reserving my Fri p.m. for some Gumbo, Crab Salad, and maybe if I've worked out in the a.m. I might add the Clam Chowder.So you might imagine how I might feel out of sorts that Greg Nuckolls's goal was just to target his own generation because most of regular customers had, unfortunately, gotten old. According to the latest copy of 318 FORUM.I have no idea who Greg Nuckolls is because I've never seen him in the restaurant. I used to see Jackie and Jimmy all the time.

A true Shreveport Gem. Service great vibe friendly. Food outstanding. If you can afford it Crab sandwich is excellent, pricey but worth every penny.
