Cassandras on the River - Shreveport (LA)

5 /5 Tara Hollis: The food and service was amazing! We were served by The Cassandra! So cool! She was so nice! My main dish was the Shrimp and Grits. Amazing! I also tried the Boudin Eggrolls and Gator bites! Both I thought were really good as well. Thanks Cassandras!

3 /5 Porsche Cayenne: i stopped in on Sunday and it was a decent spot. Food was definitely a 5/10 and I’m being generous when i say that. The greens didn’t taste fresh, and the macaroni was okay. The chicken was extremely big and it was bruised a lot on the inside. I think they need to update the menu and the inside of the establishment.

2 /5 Chan RT: I was in town, and my friend recommended this spot. She ordered the catfish with shrimp, and I went with the fried pork chops, greens, and candied yams. My friend said her fish and shrimp had no seasoning — meanwhile, I think my pork chops got all of it because they were extremely salty. The candied yams tasted like they came straight out of a can or were mixed with canned sweet potatoes. The greens were okay, but they didn’t taste like fresh ones. Both my cornbread and yams were served at room temperature. My friend ordered lemonade and said it tasted like Country Time from the can. I had the sweet tea, which was actually really good. When I got the bill, I noticed an automatic 18% gratuity added on top of 10% taxes — almost a 30% increase to the total. The restaurant itself was clean, the music was nice, and the ambiance was great, but overall, the food and prices just weren’t worth it. Unfortunately, I won’t be coming back.

2 /5 Chanda Green: Me and my Husband went to eat at Cassandra, on this Wednesday evening after 7pm. I ordered the smothered catfish and my husband ordered the two whole catfish. Our food was good but I felt like my etouffee could have been hotter than what it was but as we continued eating our dinner. My lemonade was too sweet for my liking but I didn’t complain. I feel our server could have had better customer service and be more upbeat and nott nonchalant. So anyway I ate half of my food and took the rest to go. My husband ate all of his food nothing but crumbs left. When I say it wasn’t even 30 minutes after we left I instantly felt sick. My stomach got so hard and my body begin to get hot and the next thing you know I’m vomiting. All of it came up and after that the diarrhea. I threw my remainder leftovers in the trash. As of today my stomach still feels sour and I can’t eat anything. Cooking seafood is nothing to play with it’s a must you cook it correctly and properly. I’m not sure what made me sick the shrimp, fish, etouffee, or what. But I was fine before I came to eat dinner and left sick. This is not to bash your business in any way but I just hate that my fist experience was a bad one.

5 /5 Amanda Hall: We came around 11am on a Saturday and really enjoyed ourselves. The server was an older lady with glasses and she was very accommodating and polite. The food came out fresh, hot and delicious. We sat on the bar side and it was immaculate. I love the sleek layout of this establishment. I had company in town and they were amazed with the atmosphere, service and food! They were playing 90s R&B so it was a whole vibe!
