(KNUE-FM) Living in East Texas is a dream come true but sometimes it’s fun to drive over to Shreveport. While I don’t do it often, it’s normally a great time. Mostly it’s for music concerts but I’ve also had the pleasure of making money disappear at the Margaritaville casino before going to a concert. There seem to be a lot of fun things to do and lots of great places to eat, which is why I wanted to bring you a list of recommended restaurants if you’re in the Shreveport area.

This whole conversation started after someone posted on a Tyler social media page asking where she should go for brunch when in Shreveport, but she got answers for meals all throughout the day.

A Word About Safety in Shreveport

We all know that crime happens everywhere and that includes the Shreveport area. The comment online suggested that you should carry a pistol whenever you are visiting Shreveport. While I own and carry a pistol with me, I will say that when I have visited Shreveport in the past, I have never felt unsafe. But this is a personal choice, do whatever makes you feel comfortable.
