⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We decided to try Blind Tiger based on the many positive reviews, and it absolutely did not disappoint! From the moment you walk in, the restaurant gives off a nostalgic, welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home. We were seated upstairs, which was perfect. If you’re looking for a little more privacy or have a larger group, I highly recommend requesting an upstairs table. The staff was incredibly friendly, and our waitress, Lane, was outstanding. She checked on us regularly, made sure we had everything we needed, and provided excellent service throughout our meal. The food arrived quickly, and everything was fresh and flavorful. We ordered the Cajun Sampler, which included blackened catfish, fried crawfish, and étouffée, along with a cup of gumbo. We also shared the Mardi Gras corn and fried corn on the cob. Everything was delicious, but the gumbo was truly the star of the meal—hands down one of the best we’ve had! Parking was easy as well. You can choose between garage parking or street parking, and we were able to park our F-450 dually on the street without any issues. Overall, this was a fantastic dining experience with great food, outstanding service, and a fun atmosphere. We would definitely come back and highly recommend Blind Tiger to anyone visiting the area.
I didn’t expect quality Cajun food in Shreveport, but that assumption was wrong. The Blind Tiger definitely exceeded my expectations. Both their blackened and breaded catfish were great, and the fries, cole slaw, jambalaya rice, and Cajun corn were good too. Cool environment too, and our wait wasn’t too bad (15m) for a Friday night. Fair warning - the sauce that comes with the blackened catfish is very lemony. Try it before you pour it over anything.
We took advice from others and parked free at Bally’s casino. The restaurant’s crawfish, catfish and shrimp are all imported. This is to keep the prices more reasonable. We were there for lunch and got the popcorn crawfish, French chicken sandwich and voodoo chicken sandwich. Both were tasty and the lunch menu was very reasonably priced.
Amazing food! I had pecan crusted catfish and didn’t leave a crumb! Spicy but not overdone- but I love spicy. BF had seafood sampler with so much!
I highly recommend partaking of the Blind Tiger’s phenomenal cuisine. I had to take a business trip to Shreveport and incorrectly assumed northern Louisiana would not have real Cajun food (eating is the highlight of all my trips). This could not have been further from the truth. The Cajun fare was so extensive I had to try it all. Bonus was the great service from Perry. She made the experience complete!
My wife has raved about this place due to dining here with some coworkers while traveling. We stopped by on our way home from Colorado Springs. For appetizers we ordered some Fried Mushrooms, Boudim Balls, and some Fried Shrimp w/ remoulade. We shared an entree which was the Crawfish Combo Platter - fried crawfish tails, crawfish Etoufee, Dirty Rice, and Cajun Street Corn. The only complaint was the fried crawfish tails were overcooked - tough as beef jerky.
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.
I honestly have no clue how to start this. My wife and I have been here plenty of times before, and the food is usually okay. It was never great but okay enough to stop by if we found ourselves hungry near downtown Shreveport. This time though we got served a toe sized, uncooked, RAW, hairy, flabby, chunk of pork belly in our Red Beans and Rice. Now... pork belly CAN be added to this dish.... but never uncooked, hairy and raw. It was flippen disgusting. This was all after we returned our salad because the lettuce was wilted and the chef came out to apologize about the salad. He even agreed that it was wilted and not up to standard. However the chef did not come out to apologize about the slab of uncooked, hairy pork skin. After the disgusting experience we had with the hairy chunk of raw pork meat; we left. Absolutely gross.
