I favor locally owned business, but I cannot dare hold it against this great eatery that it is a casino franchise. The prices are great. The catfish platter is the best I've had in a while. Currently, this is my favorite catfish. The side salad was an actual salad, rather than piecemeal in a small cup. The food and service is consistent. That is definitely a plus. Downtown Shreveport is lucky to have Smokey Joe's.

The service was unfriendly, food was bland, dull scenery, the place was empty

Smothered pork chops was trash, we will never eat here again. Meat was tough and veggies had no seasoning

Got a "quick" to go meal for me and my husband about 5. I could see the hostess was working her butt off seating people, cashiering, taking walk-up orders. Long story short, my food came out late, and she gave it to someone else. I saw a man come back with a question, but she was so busy, he just walked away. I waited over an hour. Food was awesome, though! Plenty of leftovers.

The gumbo is good and has loads of meat and sausage but was on the salty side. The fried chicken wings in the sweet chili sauce was pretty good.

We had a fun time, the food was good, the sweatshirt is nice. The band was fun and the area in back was nice. Enjoyed sitting by the fire.

Overall, food was good. Nice and friendly staff. Our waitress was outstanding in her attentiveness, and brought everything to us incredibly quickly. The catfish and mac & cheese was superb.

Food is really good. The place is big and can seem empty, but give it a chance and you may be pleasantly surprised.
Overpriced,average food.Nothing to see.Just burgers,quesadillas,instant potatoes and gravy etc.

We ordered the smothered pork chops. It was terrible. It was very thin and overcooked. It was a paper thing pork chop with a flour fried coating and covered with gravy. If you come here try something other than that. The service and others were great though.

Mediocre food with a limited menu. And it looks like they are not tipping the waitstaff? I had to specifically ask to tip my server. Ridiculous.
