NOTES; Don’s in Shreveport, LA, has been one of my favorite places over the years, but I haven’t eaten there lately.

OTHER LOCATIONS: Lafayette, LA; Baton Rouge, LA; Beaumont, TX; Metairie, LA

ONE OF THE DATES WE VISITED THE RESTAURANT: 3/19/2005

PRICE RANGE: Several of the main dishes cost approximately $17.

FAVORITE FOOD: Landry Special: “A cup of gumbo followed by a platter of some of our specialties consisting of crawfish etouffee (A-2-FAY), our famous seafood au gratin, award winning Seafood Bienville and there is more, tender fried catfish filet, potato and a stuffed crab.”

OTHER GREAT FOODS: Crab au gratin. Fried oysters. Hot boiled crawfish.

MORE NOTES ABOUT THE FOOD ON 3/19/05: The shrimp gumbo was made with a good dark roux; the seasoning was mild with a hint of heat. There was a hint of filé; we could have used more.

The complimentary hushpuppies served as an appetizer had a particularly good, sweet flavor enhanced by green onions.

The crab au gratin had a good cheddar flavor. The vegetable medley served with it was a little limp—the zucchini, yellow squash, and cauliflower were not crisp.

The fried catfish, which was nice and crisp, was cooked in a delicate cornbread batter.

MOST OUTSTANDING FEATURE: Seafood of consistent outstanding quality served efficiently.

SPECIALS: The prices on the lunch menu are considerably lower than the ones on the evening menu.

APPEARANCE: Don’s is neat and clean with interesting things to view.
