Old Restaurant thread
Mrs Hertz and I were talking about old restaurants that are no longer in business here in Shreveport Bossier. These come to mind...
Danby's (Eastgate and Riverfront) We liked their Ham and cheese sandwiches Italian Gardens (Cross Lake) We liked the seafood linguini Sansones (S'port Barksdale Hwy) Good Canoloni But then that turned into the Chinese restaurant with the rats! Remember that!? Pizza Inn (Kings and Youree) good sausage pizza Shaky's pizza (Shreve city) Crock of Cheese (now Chiante's on Line) It was a funeral home before that Northeast Seafood Deli (on Youree in old Whataburger) short lived Stump Water Inn (near blanchard) Awesome catfish and frog legs! Centenary Oyster House (across from head shop on Centenary) Bad ass Jalpeno cheese fries Dobb's House (on youree) Open late like Nanking And how about Fertitta's and Monseur's?? Or Abes?? that's going wayyyy back |

The "Chinese food rat story" refers to one night when the cops answered an alarm call at a Chinese restaurant (Taste of China, maybe?) and found the buffet food was still sitting out at night and "rats the size of housecats" were munching away on it.
I miss Cypress Inn and the place that used to be across the street from Schumpert that had really good Eggs Benedict. I also spent many hours of my youth spinning on the counter stools at The Tic-Tock Grill (now Schumpert on line) despite the protests from my parents. Weismans (now The Margarita Cafe, formerly Tacomania) always had the best fried chicken and Theo's (downtown across from the library) has the best cheeseburger po-boys. |

LOL back in the day, growing up in New Jersey.. on every street corner it seemed, there'd be some no-name Italian pizza place.. some italian guy back there tossin' pizza dough in the air. We'd buy one slice of pizza for a meal.. best damn pizza I ever had. Moved down here to the likes of PIzza hut and the like and I was all like "this ain't pizza!"
And to comment on what Al was saying about today's kids missing out.. you got that right., they spend too much damn time playin' video games and on the computer. |

I know, I work downtown, I meant to say "had."
Leon's also closed recently, so I have to put them on my list, as well. |

I am rarely ever here, but this evening when I read this topic it brought back some memories. I am 34 years old. Do you remember Powell's in Bossier? What about ?Walgreens?(Ugh!! I can't remember the name now!!)Restaurant in South Park Mall? And what about Bonanza on 70th, just before the tracks at Mansfield Rd? And lastly, what was the name of that place that was just north of 70th on Southern? It was a white building and seemed to have an awning spanning out around it.

Mr Beef (Pierremont) Alphies Fish and Chips (Pierremont) Sambo's (Benton Rd at Old Minden) Sambo's logo was a Indian guy with a turban on his head as I recall. Regardless, I'm sure this chain is out of business or at least changed their name and logo. |

I remember the Walgreen's in Southpark. That was a long time ago. You are definitely dating all of us with this list of restaurants.
