It is about a two hour meal and much fun and no kids. Oh it is located near I-20 and Stoner by the old Doctors Hospital.

I would love to try it, but I have a son in a wheelchair that goes everywhere we go. Is Village accessible?

It is all on one floor and yes I would think it is wheelchair accessible. I think you would need to call for reservations and you might ask Phillip. Great food and lots of good memories.

Clues are here.

To answer the question, though, Sansone's was on the North side of E. Kings, East of Youree, next to Deli Casino. I'm not sure what is there now, some kind of lounge, I think.

joepole · 11-29-2007, 12:16 PM

The only public place those clues seem to lead to is the park next to A.C. Steere.

Anybody remember Toudan's? It was where Imperial Cathay is now. It was kind of like TGI Fridays. Has anyone tried the new Friday's yet?

And how about Fertitta's and Monseur's?? Or Abes?? that's going wayyyy back

Good evening friends. My first post on this forum. I haven't lived in NW Louisiana in many years. My grandmother lived south of you in Grand Cane and would always take me to eat at Abe's when I would visit her. Sorry to hear that it is no longer. Anyone know what happened to it?

Also remember:
Sansones (S'port Barksdale Hwy), Pizza Inn (Kings and Youree), Shaky's Pizza (Shreve City), and the Alphies Fish and Chips (Pierremont).

Wasn't Weismans the place that always had the huge pot of soup where you served yourself? Seems to me I remember going there when I was in college. The Big Chain Cafeteria in Shreve City was another favourite place to go with my grandmother - for dessert. They always had Butter Roll, which she said was just like her grandmother used to make it. Didn't Shreve City also used to have a Woolworth's with a lunch counter? I remember eating fried shrimp there.

Is Strawn's Eat Shop still across from Centenary with their fresh strawberry and peach pies in season?

Add Freeman and Harris and Pete Harris cafe to the list of gone but not forgotton.
I would take my Canadian relatives there when they visit, to have a taste of southern cookin'.
I didn't think it was worth the trip otherwise.

Yep, and they also had a pot of steaming hot tamales. Each 1/2 dozen was wrapped in foil like the zwollie tamales of today.

Yes all good. The Lo-mart on youree had great fried chicken. I also miss the ham poboys from Cobb's on Kings... (with pickles and cole slaw)

Three Strawns? That's amazing. I'd love to have a piece of that pie right now!

I thought of another two more that I don't know if they are still there or not - Kon Tiki (in the 70s we thought it very exotic to eat there) and Brocato's.
